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
