Rulesets Guide

Rulesets connect campaign configuration to character and creature filtering.

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
