Yeah, but how do I access them in the Editor? I'm trying to create a half-elf variant from SCAG as it's not an available option in the community pack but damned if I can figure it out.

I've found the moon elf in the SCAG files so I've been able to figure out how to add the cantrip ability, but only as a new race rather than sub-race option to the half elf.

Man this stuff is confusing

Again, I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but srElfHigh is the high elf under subraces but I don't feel that is what you are asking for.

When I click on "Open Data File" it takes me to the 5e data folder. The only options to load are the COM ones and none of them have the High Elf in it. The only option is the Moon or Sun Elf variants in the SCAG .user data file.

I'm just trying to create the half-elf variants from SCAG but can't figure out how to do it without copying from already built sources, hence why I looked for the high elf. I found what I needed in the Moon elf variant to build the Cantrip ability, but can't now get it to pop-up as an option for the core Half Elf like it does for the Human variant.

Honestly, I don't care how it's done, I just can't figure out how to build a half-elf variant racial option to choose in the builder. So if there are better ways to go about this, I'm all (elf) ears.

Just click the copy button from the editor. The elf is built into the core pack and can't be opened in the editor.

Copy what? If it can't be opened in the editor, what am I copying?

[daplunk]

Just press the new (copy) button. You'll see.

Yeah, that's totally unhelpful since there are a dozen different ways to copy from a dozen different things.

But it doesn't matter, I figured it out.

AussieDM,

When somebody goes out of their way to help you, the correct reply is to say thank you.

@daplunk gave a valid and insightful comment. While brief, he was completely correct.

Maybe he didn't know that he needed to provide more information, but assumed that you knew that in order to copy something, you need to be in the correct editor tab.

So, I'll provide the hand-holding you're looking for.

1. Open the editor.
2. Create new file.
3. Click 'Race' tab.
4. Click 'New (Copy).
5. Choose something close to what you want, and make the appropriate changes.
6. Click 'Save'

Check the veteran snark at the door, please.

I'm backing BoomerET on this.

AussieDM, comment:

deserved such a reply in my opinion.

I also tried to help him, but found his requests a bit hazie, but I tried to reply to what I thought he was askign for.
