It’s about all the settings to the left of this database. Could we add another column, for example, for races with functions similar to classes, so that each character has dual buffs from different classes and different races? How do we add this?
The tabs down the left side are fixed. The editor has no way to add a new one, which is why plugins hang extra properties off the Note box on each entry instead of giving you a real tab.
Without plugins, I think I’d build each race as a State, put the Traits you want on it, and apply it to the actor at the start of the game so it never wears off. Traits on a State apply alongside the ones the Class is already giving.
If a plugin is fine, VisuStella’s Elements and Status Menu Core adds Trait Sets and Race is one of the types it comes with. You define each race in the plugin parameters with its own traits, parameter rates and passive states, then tag the actor with <Race: Elf> or whatever the name is.
Yea, Traits on the Actor stack with the Class ones, so that covers it without needing a new tab.
The one thing I’d watch is those traits sit on that single actor, so a few characters sharing a race means entering the same list on each of them, and editing every one of them again when you adjust the race later. If more than one character shares a race I think I’d still lean toward defining it once as a State or a Trait Set.
