## Fantasy Flight Games: Midnight - Campaign Source Book PCGen help file

Game Mode: 3e ALPHA DATASETS FFG - Midnight - Campaign Source Book The Midnight magic system Midnight employs an unusual magic system which has been difficult to implement in PCGen and accounts for the long time it took to appear in the release.

## Fantasy help files

The 3e and 35e gameModes represent the third edition and the 3.5 edition of the fantasy role playing game published by Wizards of the Coast. Our datasets are based on the version of this game published under the Open Gaming License commonly known as the Standard Reference Document or SRD . The rules were recently revised and that version is known as the (Revised) Standard reference Document or RSRD . All of the datasets which appear in the sources tab along with the SRD and RSRD are dependent on having these loaded and will not function properly without them.

## Index : 4th Edition and PCGen

Unfortunately 4th Edition is closed content and we do not have permission to create and distribute data for this game. PCGen can support 4th Edition as easily as it supports 3.5 and 3.0 and many of our users have in fact created their own datasets for 4th Edition. Because of the interest in using PCGen for 4th Edition we have done what we can by creating a Starter Set as an aid to those wishing to code up their own data.

## Index : PCGen Source Help

This section will provide information on how to use specific datasets. It is not intended to detail every aspect of the dataset but is specifically focused on features and aspects of the dataset which are hidden, obscure, counter intuitive or simply unimplemented. When it is not obvious how a particular feature from a source book is handled by PCGen we will include that information here. If a feature can not currently be supported in PCGen we will use this section to let you know and include suggestions on how to work around the problem.
