Rules

Eldiron rules are now split into two docs.

Official Rules​

Read Official Rules if you want the rulebook view: races, classes, attributes, combat, weapons, spells, progression, visuals, and the future crafting model.

This is the player-facing and creator-facing gameplay guide.

Rules In Eldiron​

Read Rules In Eldiron if you want the implementation view: where the ruleset TOML lives, how it is embedded, how Game / Settings selects a version, how Game / Rules overrides work, how item templates are created, and how to test rules from the terminal or Creator console.

Short Version​

New projects use the bundled eldiron.official ruleset by default.

Game / Settings selects the ruleset:

[ruleset]
id = "eldiron.official"
version = "1.0.0"
schema_version = "1"
source = "official"
update_policy = "compatible"

Game / Rules is normally an empty override layer. Add only project-specific changes there.
