Ruleset-Aware Filtering
- records can be tagged with built-in and custom rulesets
- filters help keep list views relevant per campaign
- show-all-systems can temporarily widen the pool
Import and Export
Use JSON import/export to:
- migrate bestiary content between campaigns

- bootstrap a campaign quickly with prebuilt stat blocks
Common Workflow
- Add recurring factions and common enemies.
- Tag each entry with the correct ruleset(s).
- Import/export snapshots before major edits.
