A: The breakpoints for relationship levels are 20, 60, 120, 200, 300 (which is +40, +60, +80, +100 per level). So an award of 10 relationship points isn't much. It is possible to grant a variable amount like "2d8". It may be possible (not yet tested as of early December 2019) to use a formula here.

This page is a growing FAQ for modding. Please see the basic pages first. Most of these are questions which were asked by modders in the discord modding channel, and answered by the dev team.
Q: I want to have an encounter which requires a female as one role (because the title I want has a gender.) How do I setup the role?
A: Slightly below the bottom of this screenshot, there is a section called "filter". Open the filter section, under aspects, click new, and select the desired aspect.
Q: Once I have a few text balloons in a comic frame, moving the balloons and the related pointers becomes very difficult. For example, this screenshot:

A: First, if you have more pointers than you want, you can turn off individual ones using the right side panel; click on pointerTarget for the related balloon, and select "null". If you still have too many buttons on the panel, one of the icons for each element is a minus sign. Click the minus sign, and all the related buttons for that element will go away. The minus is then replaced by a plus; click the plus to get all its buttons back. It can be helpful to click all the minuses first, and then one by one, click plus to get the buttons back for an element and position it.
Q: Can I add my own images and backgrounds to the comics?
A: Not today (early December 2019). You can add images for monsters only, at this time. But the dev team considers this high priority.
Q: In the comic editor, when I click reroll, I get characters who don't match my filters. For example, I set a filter to require the hero to be male, and it is female.
A: The randomly generated characters in the editor don't adhere to the aspects you put in. But, in-game it will work.
Q: How do the relationship points awarded in encounters relate to encounter levels?
A: The breakpoints for relationship levels are 20, 60, 120, 200, 300 (which is +40, +60, +80, +100 per level). So an award of 10 relationship points isn't much. It is possible to grant a variable amount like "2d8". It may be possible (not yet tested as of early December 2019) to use a formula here. For example, to guarantee advancing one level, a formula something like "20 * target.SHIP_WITH.volunteer"
