One of the things I’ve been doing with my characters is change the names of spells and cards to fit my PC’s playstyle.
A great example of this is my Clank Wizard, who is more-or-less a tech bot. I would take a normal codex like Book of Illiat and swap the names of the spells in the book for more technological ones. The spells themselves operate the same way, with a little narrative flair from me - they are entitled something different.
Currently I’m managing these changes in an Excel document for each character, but I would love the ability to modify the card itself, so that my loadout on DP reflects my name changes. I am thinking of something similar to how you can customize weapons and armor currently.
I know that there are other mechanics behind the scenes working that when a certain card (like BARE BONES) is in your loadout, it effects other areas of the character page automatically.
I am not (yet) suggesting a fully customized spell creation system at this time. That wouldn’t be appropriate for release of the game, but perhaps something down the line could be considered. Rather, this would just edit simple portions of existing DC’s.
Thoughts on the possibility for this? A man can dream…
I would still LOVE to see this same ability for the individual names within a DC as well - like how CODEX’s have three different spells within a single tome.
So, I’m bumping this topic for that feature, in hopes that it can be integrated as well!!
(the same applies for the class, subclass, ancestry, and community information)
I have not been able to change anything on any cards on the character sheet. How is this done? I used the new card creator and have created a New Ancestry and Community card but I can find no way to upload or edit the character sheet for either of these.
I think you might be talking about different things here, they can correct me if I’m wrong though. It sounds like what you’re describing is using new cards you’ve designed within your existing character sheet. This isn’t currently possible but will come when we launch our Homebrew tools in the future.
Yeah, what I am describing is the ability to alter the DEFAULT cards to show different names for each card’s title or subtitle (like the CODEX domain).
I imagine that the long-term fix is to wait until DP is able to get around to integrating the Homebrew system into the platform. Then I will simply ‘recreate’ the existing deck cards that I use with Homebrew duplicates that are named the way I want to see them. This solution will likely serve both our desires.
