I'll probably do that. I remember the mess I ended up with when the Community Pack introduced its version of the UA Mystic. I had to change my version and it wrecked every Mystic my players had created.

You dont have to remover your class. The Artificer I created will only be available to people who checked the source 5e Unearthed Arcana - Artificer.

The classes should not overlap at all.

If we both create an Artificer with the name Artificer, Tags: cArtificer, cHelpArt, and a 3-letter abbreviation of Art, they will conflict.

Yes, I copy/pasted it to be sure.

Here's what I'm doing:

1) Open the editor
2) Open the COM_5ePack_UA - Artificer.user file containing the class.
3) Go General->Extend Thing
4) Click New(Blank)
5) Click on Find Thing and use it to find the alarm spell (spAlarm)
6) On Group id I put sClass
7) On Tag Id I add cHelpArt
8) Click on Test now.

The error is issued.

If it matters, I'm using HL 8.0b

Strange. I tried the same thing and get the same error.

The 1 spell I already have in this particular .user file works fine.

Thing Unique Id = spJPA1Bern (custom spell)
Group Id = sClass
Tag Id = cHelpWit (custom class - Witch)

^^ works fine . . .

Your Artificer is not part of the Community pack? You can add a preclude element to your source. This way my artificer gets disabled. At least that's how I understand it.

As I understand it, and I may be wrong, conflicts take place suring the load process. You just can't have duplicate tags period. Like I said I may be wrong. I'll wait to see if ShadowChemosh confirms this. I hope you are right.

Unique ID's are exactly that Unique Across all of HL regardless of source.

For Pathfinder I actually enforce a "Number" value for our Classes now to prevent exactly this. So for a Path of War class we have cHelpPW1 and cHelpPW2.

You don't have to have Art the three letters for a class helper. In matter of fact the length of 10 for a tag is still valid. Meaning cHelp12456 is valid.
