What book is the Sword Saint in?

Looks like it's in Pathfinder Player Companion: Dragon Empires Primer. Is this in the newest update?

I could give it a try. I was going to go with Kyton-Spawn (Shackleborn) and get a Prehensile Tail. How would I fix it through a text editor? Also is their a way to edit in their racial traits you receive, or is there already a spot for that?

It's a bit complicated to go into in a forum. Going to the PCGen documentation and clicking on "List Files" in the left-hand column will get you started. The "LST File Classes" are helpful.

A quick breakdown of the steps you could use:

• Find the "my_dataset" folder in the PCGen file hierarchy (data/homebrew).
• Open up "my_races.lst".
• Find the "pfb_races_stu.lst" file in the PCGen file hierarchy (data/alpha/paizo/pathfinder_rpg/bestiary).
• Copy the line starting with "Tiefling" from the pfb_ file to the my_races.lst file.
• Make changes as appropriate, including adding and removing special abilities in the ABILITY: tag.
• Find the "Tiefling" section in the "pfb_abilities_races_stu.lst" file in the bestiary directory to use as a template for your new abilities.
• Back in the my_dataset directory, open the "my_abilities.lst" file and define the new abilities you need.
• Open the "my__campaign.pcc" file in the my_dataset directory, and change the GAMEMODE: tag to Pathfinder instead of 35e.

If I haven't forgotten anything :-) , you should be able to load the MyCampaign data set along with the Pathfinder set, and have access to your new race.

Feel free to contact me with more questions.

Thanks for your help! I gave it a go with no luck. I'm probably just doing something wrong on my end though. I'll have to try again tomorrow and see if I can find my mistake!

I could give it a try. I was going to go with Kyton-Spawn (Shackleborn) and get a Prehensile Tail. How would I fix it through a text editor? Also is their a way to edit in their racial traits you receive, or is there already a spot for that?

Dang. Is their a way to edit and change the racial adjustments for the abilities scores on your own?

Thanks! Is there a way to get to their Variant Tiefling Heritages? For example I was looking at Kyton-Spawn (Shackleborn), Rakshasa-Spawn (Beastbrood), and Rakshasa-Spawn (Beastbrood).
As all of those effect the bonus scores you receive etc

Another noob question. I wanted to play a Tiefling as my race, but all I could find were the typical races. What do I need to do to add the extra races?

Also does PCGEN sync up with roll20 in any special ways?

I have never used PCGEN before. I was interested in making a ninja or gunslinger. Are these available in the current PCGEN? Is there a way to get them? If not, what is the release for these classes? Thanks!
