    Is it possible to setup d20 Pro to allow me to choose from multiple rulesets?

    I started to "convert" my fresh install to 4E and stopped at the first step when I hit this sentence "To get started, you should first replace the core ruleset with a 4E one."

    What i'd like to have is a drop down choice when opening d20 Pro that allows me to pick which ruleset I intend to use. What other files do I need to "replicate" in order for this to happen? Is it as simple as copying and renaming the entire directory structure from "D&D 3.5 OGL" on down and replacing the specified txt files in the "ManuallySpecified" directory?

    William, I believe it is just that simple. Just make a copy of the directory, rename it, and change whatever you need to inside.

    So I gave it a shot, and it worked.

    Now for a follow up question. If I use the "advanced" button to create a new campaign from the startup menu, which ruleset will it use? 3.5 or 4E?

    Hi William!

    After you copied the 3.5 directory and renamed the copied version "4E" you still need to modify your MannuallySpecified folder to utilize the 4e ruleset.

    Simply follow the instructions on the 4E D&D Rules Replacement Guide.

    Enjoy!
