I'm creating a race that I want to have an edge that has a number of prerequisites. It actually adds it just fine, but I get validation errors. What is the best way to remove the prerequisites when applying to the new race only?

Well, that is a bit of an odd-duck. You want a race that has an Edge but that completely ignores the pre-requisites for that Edge and is then able to use that Edge as a prerequisite for any other Edge that might use that Edge? I'm thinking, for example, you want a race to have Dodge (without needing a d8 Agility) and therefore they could get Improved Dodge by simple virtue of having Dodge already? If so I'd really have to think that one over.
If it is not an Edge that can be used as a prerequisite for another Edge, however, then I wouldn't use the Edge at all. Instead I would create that as a Racial Ability and just copy everything over from the Edge (without the pre-requisites) to the Ability instead. I would say that is the normal way to do it.

If it is the edge that you want, you can do this:

Thanks! I really appreciate the help. I really like both the work around and the way to work around the prereq.
It worked perfectly adding the tag to my existing bootstrap. In case you were wondering, I found a Star Wars conversion (of many) that I'm entering into a user file. One of the players in the group wants to play an Ugnaught, which has the Star Wars equivalent of McGyver. This has a number of prereqs, so it was showing up in red with validation errors. Once I added the tag to that bootstrap, they went away. Also, I'm very new to this and the documentation isn't always easy to get through. Therefore, I really appreciate the aid.

Then again some threads might go unanswered if some of us can't figure out a good answer (which usually means we're hoping Caped Crusader will answer it! ) Lenny Zimmermann Metairie, LA, USA Data files authored (please let me know if you see any issues with any of these if you have/use them): Official (In the downloader) 50 Fathoms, Deadlands: Hell On Earth, Deadlands: Noir, East Texas University, Necessary Evil (requires Super Powers Companion), Pirates of the Spanish Main, Space 1889 (original file by Erich), Tour of Darkness, Weird War II, Weird Wars: Rome Coming Eventually Evernight (LWD has completed their review but I have some fixes to make first... although Pinnacle mentioned this might get an overhaul to SWADE so I may just wait for that first.

Yes! I have been going through the Common Code Examples and even quoted it in another thread I have going. That is a very helpful post.
