Rulesets Guide

Rulesets connect campaign configuration to character and creature filtering. This filtering may be used for future features as well, it does not inject any rules system into the application. It is simply for filtering user input content.

When to Use

  • starting a new campaign with clear system boundaries
  • aligning NPC filters to the campaign's active systems
  • reducing cross-system noise in prep views

When Not to Use

  • replacing actual stat block conversion and balancing
  • tagging everything with every system "just in case"
  • solving encounter pacing or scheduling problems

Campaign-Level Rulesets

Configured during campaign create/edit.

Use campaign-level rulesets to:

  • define active game systems for the campaign
  • constrain tool views to relevant content
  • improve discovery in NPC/Monster workflows

NPC/Monster Rulesets

Each NPC/Monster can include one or more ruleset tags.

  • supports built-in systems
  • supports custom tags
  • drives filter behavior in creature lists

Practical Recommendations

  • keep campaign rulesets intentionally narrow
  • avoid over-tagging creatures with unrelated systems
  • use custom tags only when they improve filtering quality
