[QUOTE="saviirkad, post: 9843854, member: 7054355"] The homebrew tools are the same ones they use to put in official content (though obviously some things are hidden from the public facing tools). Porting over 3PP content that includes subclasses, species, feats, spells, monsters, magic items, what have you, is pretty straightforward so long as the mechanics play nicely with what already exist within the official rules framework. When it does something wonky like "hey every time you roll a 12 on an attack roll, change the damage die to a d12," then it's not so straightforward anymore. Classes are a wholly different thing. There's no homebrew tools not just because of the difficulty in supporting that, but also because there are no tools that they can just hide some bits and bobs before making it user-facing. It's not that they can't do it, it's that the work is significantly greater and comes with the big risks of breaking the system beyond just the new class. [/QUOTE]
