It isn't that hard to figure out which steps to take to make it work here. This is the same thing all CBs have had a problem with is people not knowing how to make the data work with the software, IE bad software designers and programmers. There is no polygons to have to play with in CB, there is no skin that needs to be applied to a model, this is simple data management.All you need is a filter for RPGA legal, and update the datasets to include a flag that says which is RPGA legal or not in the data rows. Done!When you pull form the races table with RPGA only selected you only pull those races with the RPGA flag set.When you pull from the races table with RPGA only turned off, you pull all races. Maybe you want to only pull PHB races so it gets a flag.WotC decided to make the thing, so the least they could do is make it right.1-PHB2-DMG3-MMThis code tells what book to filter books only in an index, and you only need the RPGA flag....RPGA?1=yes0/null=noSheesh, you call it spin, but it is glaringly obvious how to get it to work quickly with a properly built database and system made to properly read that database, but even the compendium is lacking full filtering and such after how many months?</blockquote>
