The Species Generator pulls its data from special options and features. If you would like to add your own custom options, the requirements are as follows:
- The Type field must equal "Trait - Species".
- The Class field must equal an existing class, unless your intention is to add a new dropdown section. Capitalization matters.
- Form
- Physiology
- Size
- Locomotion
- Manipulation
- Dominant Sense
- Feature
- Culture
- Tech Level
