I've tested this, but it replace the complete Thing.
If the community releases with different names of the Gods because of copyright, if I use Replace Thing ID it will be a copy of the God where I can change it's name, but then the community release a new version with bugs corrected, my copy will have the bugs.
What I'm looking for is a way to simple change a part of a Thing, for example only the name, leaving the rest intact, so when a new version of the community files go out I don't have to do it again.

If you are good using the editor you can use scripts to change the text of a Thing including its name.

For example in my Pathfinder home files I do this allot actually. Here are some examples:

This uses the built in macro to add additional text to a feat:

      ~ Set houserule text on Power Attack
      #appenddesc[fPowerAtt,"{b}Shadow d20:{/b} Two-handed weapons will NO longer get 1.5x Strength damage or get +50% bonus when using Power Attack until your character is level 6."]

This example simply changes the "Name" of this poison racial ability:

perform state.thing[raFGNarPoi].amendthing[name,"Poison Attack"]

This example completely changes the exiting description for Earth Master special ability:

var descTxt as string

call CalcValue

descTxt = "Creature gains a " & signed(field[abValue].value) & " bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the elemental takes a " & signed(field[abValue2].value) & " penalty on attack and damage rolls. These modifiers apply to bull rush and overrun maneuvers, whether the elemental is initiating or resisting these kinds of attacks."

perform state.thing[xCBErthMas].amendthing[description,descTxt]

thanks ShadowChemosh, I don't know the editor yet but I'm a programmer so it should be ok, I'll test this tomorrow.

I keep seeing spell descriptions referencing The (Not Really) Complete Tome of Spells. What exactly is this?

Thanks!

Who doesn't love more spells I've added all the actual spells in but the task of assigning them to the classes is going to take some time.
