Is there a way to edit the base races?

thundershot · February 14th, 2011, 07:20 PM

With my campaign, I use the 4E Eladrin and Elf races, and while Eladrin shows up fine, I have two Elf entries on my select screen. Is there a way to hide races?

Also, can I change things like how many languages characters can get? I didn't want characters getting more than the starting languages unless they put ranks into it, much like 4E.

Thanks
Chris

Use ReplaceID of the old elf.

Being new at this... I'm not sure what that means, exactly... Thanks!

EDIT: Also, if I didn't want a couple of the existing races to show up, could they be hidden?

EDIT AGAIN: Figured out how to replace... Didn't see that before. Now I want to hide the Half-Elf and Half-Orc... Would it be easier to just have new races replace them on the list?

There's a tab named "*Hidden" in the data file editor. If you specify the tags of the races you want to hide there, they won't show up when you select a race.
