I didn't use Factions to cover regions because of the actual Factions in the game setting.
There are enough organizations in the game I don't want to clutter it up with other things. Fire Knives, Zhentarim, Harpers, Red Wizards, etc. are in my data, just going to take time to get the regions added. Though If I do something like jbearwillis I can actually code the prereqs on the feats to account for region.
This is how I sett mine up. Just started and got the race and region framework setup. It works nicely. Now to input the rest of the regions.
Could you describe how you got the regions added? I am curious about how you implemented this.
I thought about all the other factions, but it just seemed like it would take to much research and time to figure out how to set up a region mechanic and it was just easier to use factions. I like the idea of having them seperate though.
Honestly if he set them up the same way as Ethnicities, which I believe he did, then it won't be that much more work to actually do them separately. In the end having them separate would be better. There were not a lot of factions in the core rulebook, but when you start adding other books into the mix you have a lot of things to code. Personally I would rather have them as separate entities.
I am thinking the 3 of us might be able to collaborate and do smaller tasks on this project so that it all gets knocked out faster. There is a lot of data to do in just the Campaign Setting book.

Well being new to coding, it would be hard to explain, but I can send you my home rules file if you want and see what i did and maybe work it into what you want. That would be much easier for me to do then explain. Yes they are Ethnicities hidden from the race list using the helper tag. So when you pick a Race from the elvenkind Ethnicity it then will have you pick a region. I am still trying to add someway to allow when you pick a region that it will bring up some kind of dropbox to chose your bonus feat and one for equipment, if their is a way to do so.

Hey RavenX did you want me to send you my file.
jbearwillis: yeah I will want to look over what you did in your data. I plan on doing regions like you have done, this way I can script out prerequisites on the feats.
And mbran01: yes we can work together. If you have races done I will want to see those and we will figure out the rest from here. I am still adding deities. That will eat some time in and of itself. The data will be a large set when it is done though. 3 of us working on it will allow us to get the data finished quicker than me just doing it all by myself. It has taken a while for me to get to this point with the data, and I still have a ways to go on it.

Just letting you know, ShadowChemosh has released what data I have finished (The deities are not included in that data) and it can be downloaded via his pfsrd link.

So for starters why don't we decide who gets to do the prestige classes? Those will need to be done and will eat some time to do. You guys could split them up and tackle them though.
I finished up adding the human pantheon today, doing the spells and domains now to get that part of the pantheon done and released.

I could also use help on the Deities. I have added the elven and human deities, but the other ones will take some time to do. If someone wants to code them up, that would be great. (You don't have to worry about the descriptions, I just need the {b}Symbol{/b} of the god, and the domains checked off along with any other data the core gives you in the table listings. (Don't worry about domains that are not in there. I will get them done before releasing the data).

RavenX I'm Going through your Forgotten Realms Race file and adding the Region Tab since you did all the race work for me, I will add the rest of the humans to it as well. Just wondering if there is any regions not allowed by other races. Like elf Regions only allowed for elven races etc. You made it a lot easier for me to do it with all the work you have done - so a big thanks goes out to you. when I get it done, I will send it to you.

I did Incantatrix for d20 a while back, but never got to finish it because I could never figure out the capstone ability (and it seems it is not easily doable either).
At least, I should be able to easily convert what i have done.

Well Frame work is in Place - This is what it's going to look like - with me using your files RavenX - Just The human Races and the rest of the Regions. They should go pretty quick I hope, since I finished the hard part. Here is some screen shots of what it looks like

If you want to tackle some of these go right ahead. I will take on the lead of collaboration on this project.
@jbearwillis: The first image looks perfect to me. I was trying to figure out what you did, I think I understand it a bit. I had started adding human ethnicities already. I got Calishite, Chondathan, Damaran, Illuskan, and Mulan done over the weekend, I would like to point out that if something appears in Races of Faerun that applies to races covered in the rulebook, I am treating that material as an Update to previous material released. There are still other ethnicities for Human that need to be done though, if you want to tackle the remaining ones go ahead. (I am using the first set of paragraphs on them up to where the next section of text starts, this way the player gets a fair amount of background information and it will help get new players into the setting easier.) I will try to get more data out to you all soon.
Anyone that wants to assist on this project, just let me know. It is a lot of data but as a group we can crunch through it. I won't be doing more data crunching until next weekend, I have higher priority files to do, but I usually spend a fair amount of time coding during my game sessions (players argue over what to do, where to go, or during lunch and dinner breaks.) I currently have them delving Undermountain. The Human rogue is now a Gnome rogue, and is 5 levels below the rest of the party.

Well that could work to - I just did it that way because I liked the look of it and the way it sets up on the character sheet LOL - but I might play around with that idea and see what I can do. The Tiefling is causing me a little trouble in the way I set it up. I have it working but no matter what it wants to give 2 choices even if the to sources that give them abilities are not check - which is puzzling the heck of me. I can't seem to figure how to stop it, when the sources are not checked to only give one choice each instead of 2.
