Player's Guide¶
The Import Manager is a handy tool that cleanly separates the catalog of a system (i.e. invariant things that represent the foundation of a system) and the actual playing library.
Using the Import Manager¶
In the side panel, you can access the Import Manager from archetypes panels. In the Import Manager you can import standardised rows that you can then modify and use in your library.
The catalog archetypes that can own rows (such as characters holding items), unlike the library, do not own copies. On the contrary, they are directly linked to the original row. This means that modifying a row *can and will modify all that carry it.
Info
I have Big Bad as a character in the Import Manager, and I equip them with a Battle Axe. If I change the Battle Axe damage, the edit will also affect the Battle Axe carried by the Big Bad.
When to use the catalog?¶
Use the catalog to import weapons, armour, abilities that are part of the system when you need them. Avoid importing the full catalog to your library. This can slow down the game and will surely clutter your side panel.
Tip
Delete library rows you do not use anymore or that you added to the carried rows of a carrier archetype.
