Custom Categories

Create your own Races, Classes, Place Categories, etc without seeing everyone else's

Enabling Custom Categories

Custom Categories are now enabled automatically when you start a new campaign

1. Click the "Attributes" link on the left navigation panel of your campaign
2. Click the "Enable Custom Categories" button
3. You will receive an email once everything is converted

Note: If you see a list of attributes already, then Custom Categories is already enabled.

Adding Custom Categories

1. Edit connections on a regular page, like a Character
2. Enter a category, like Race or Class
3. If what you enter isn't available in your campaign yet, it will prompt you to add it

Changing sub-category hierarchies

By default, a new Race, for example, has an "Attribute of" connection to the "Race" attribute.

To change, for example, Sea Elf, to be a sub-category of Elf:

1. Go to the "Sea Elf" category page and click "Connections"
2. Clear the Category of (Attribute) field
3. Add "Elf" to the "Sub-Category of (Category) field
4. Save

Editing Attributes

There are only a handful of Attributes and you cannot add more:

1. Race, Class, Gender, Alignment, Language and Role for Characters
2. Place Category and Cultural Trait for Places
3. Group Category for Groups
4. Item Category for Items
5. Event Category for Events
6. Vehicle Category for Vehicles

You can change the brief summary, image and description of an Attribute. But you cannot rename it.
