I am in agreement. I would recommend leaving this "wizard" spellcasting part to the very end or much later on. Once you get more familiar with the HL scripts, tags, things, picks etc ideas it will be much easier to figure this out and implement.

Also, I'm not even sure if racial spellcasting like a wizard supports spellbooks, since I'm not sure if there are any spellcasting races that use spellbooks.

So basically, you're asking for a highly advanced scripting task for your very first project.

The first step would be to study the drider race (the new version you get when choosing a race, not the obsoleted version you'll still see if you pull one from the encounter builder) - they use racial custom specials to add spellcasting to the race - figure out how that works.

At the top right of an editor tab, see all those buttons? Tags is probably highlighted on your language one, or wherever you've used Product Identity - click on it, explore what's shown there.

It seems I have jumped into the deep end. That idea will be put on hold for a while. For now I will stick to building the pantheon, languages and human ethnicities. Is it possible to make my deities show up under my custom heading ? I have not yet found the answer to that yet. I have created a new Deity Category, new category, order group, product identity and source, what did I miss?

thank you for your help and patients

Found an older thread with the info I was looking for to make my deities come up in their own category. it took a couple try to see what I had missed.

Great to hear. I was just about to look into that today because its been awhile since I had looked at that issue.

just had a player ask about separating the ethnicities in to a custom heading.
I thought I was so bright as to use the {bmp npcclass }XnameX {bmp npcclass} to create a subheading. I created this in the Racial Cust Special along with the ethnicities, I have also made it available to human and then none. I have checked and unchecked the ethnicity box. the Show Only box is checked. the sources are the same. the upgrade-hide from list box has been checked and unchecked. and so many reloads I cant count them.
is this even possible? will making the homebrew campaign custom ethnicity heading persist to the other races ?

thanx again

I don't think so. Not all tables/lists are designed to support headers. Pretty much if you see LW headers they "may" work but an area that has none means you won't be able to get them to work at all.

Thank you for the quick reply
