<div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;"><p>Hi Matt,</p>
<p>To my knowledge, White Necromancer part of New Paths Compendium published by Kobold Press is not presently included in PCGen.</p>
<p>Now, updating new content is a tricky question to answer:<br/>
1) Is the new content included in a release?<br/>
2) Is the new content going to be included in the next release?<br/>
3) Does the content exist?<br/>
4) Is there an OOC available?</p>
<p>#1 - If yes, grab that pcgen release<br/>
#2 - If yes, grab the correct autobuild of pcgen to get early access<br/>
#3 - If no, then see notes below<br/>
#4 - If yes, you download and use the "Install" function<br/>
If you become a developer, there is the 5th option, but I won't dive into that here.</p>
<p>Notes:<br/>
If the content does not exist, you have two options:<br/>
A) Ask for it to be included in pcgen <br/>
B) Learn the LST code language and make it yourself</p>
<p>A) Requires the permission of the publisher, and a LST capable monkey to work on it. Takes roughly 3-6 months from request to released set depending on book perception of priority to the team - mind that's once we approve and someone takes it up. Some requests don't get fulfilled due to no interest or no time (Monkey needs time, interest to make it, and a copy of the book)<br/>
B) Requires about a month of trial and error, but most folks are capable of creating their own rudimentary materials with very little help. True mastery takes about 2-3 years, but these are the guys who put out the big source books, create rather complicated systems that makes character creation a breeze, and in general are the architects for new game system support. Most people require enough know-how to create a basic class, add a feat/trait/class feature, a spell, and sometimes a new race.</p>
<p>B has a mailing list on yahoo, and a forum. You learn how to make your material, and eventually, you can contribute to the community. </p>
<p>B also has a decent documentation support, the community support, several YouTube videos, and lots of existing books to see how things are put together. We also have two homebrew sets in the pcgen release to allow you to literally make your own materials without too much difficulty for 35e or pathfinder.</p>
<p>Hope that answers the question sufficiently. </p>
<p>Cheers,</p></div>
