Language Prevalence

[nlmacdonald]

Hi,

Does anyone explain how to create a Language Prevalence in the pathfinder editor. This would be one of the categories that appears in the dropdown that is used for language grouping.

Also is there a way that one can specify an index or order within a language grouping. My aim was to add categories for settings like Greyhawk and Forgotten Realms. And under these categories I want specific languages to appear in a certain order.

Thanks

In HL Pathfinder, you can tag a language as Common, Uncommon, Rare or Planar. This places the language on a different part of the list. Presumably you could create a new category/sub-category to have languages appear under. They appear in alphabetical order, by sub-category (standard, Monster, Non-verbal, Trade, etc), and you probably can't change that.
I could send you my Greyhawk Language user file (26 Greyhawk languages) if you are interested?

LangPreval tags determine where a particular language is grouped (common-planar), and those tags are not dynamic. You can't add new tags to them to create new super groups, although leaving this sort of tag off completely will mean sorting ahead or behind all the groups (don't recall which).

Fortunately, within those groups things are sorted by LangCat tags, and those are dynamic. You can add a Category like Homebrew languages and have all such tagged languages appear together within their prevalence group.

Thanks Dami. I've been able to figure out what my problem was.
And thanks for the explanation Aaron.
