• Skills auto-prefixed: (Barbarian^10)Rage, etc.
• Tab label: "Barbarian" with axe icon

Tips & Tricks

Organizing Classes in Folders

Use the Parent Folder selector in Step 3 to organize:

📁 Custom Classes
  📁 Barbarian
    📄 (CUSTOMCLASS)Barbarian
    📄 (Barbarian^10)Rage
  📁 Blood Mage
    📄 (CUSTOMCLASS)Blood Mage
    📄 (Blood Mage)Crimson Bolt

Troubleshooting

Tab Label Not Updating

• Ensure you have exactly one (CUSTOMCLASS)Name skill
• Spelling must be exact: CUSTOMCLASS (all caps)
• Reload the sheet after adding/changing

Skills Not Appearing

• Check prefix format: (ClassName)SkillName or (ClassName^Weight)SkillName
• Verify item type is "skill" (not weapon, spell, etc.)
• Skills must belong to the actor (not just in Items directory)

Icon Not Showing

• Format: icon: fa-icon-name at the top of (CUSTOMCLASS) description
• Use FontAwesome free icons only
• Falls back to ⚠️ if invalid

Builder Button Not Working

• Check browser console for errors (F12)
• Verify module is enabled in game settings

Compatibility

• Foundry VTT: v13+ (uses ApplicationV2 API)
• DCC System: 0.63+
• Conflicts: None known

Roadmap

Potential future features:

• Bulk import from CSV/JSON
• Class templates compendium
• Automatic HD/Save/Attack progression
• Export class to .json
• Tweak the Custom Class creation wizard
