Technical Notes
The work was adapting the Esper Genesis ruleset data into Dicecloud's character builder, which models a character as a tree of attributes where each element can reference others. Encoding the Esper power system meant translating its prerequisites and scaling effects into those cross-referencing relationships. The Esper Powers (spells) and items are split into separate libraries so the sci-fi content can be added to any campaign without pulling in the full character sheet.
