ShadowHaven Reloaded:Chummer Setup
Chummer is a useful tool that comes with a bit of a learning curve. Because the Chummer developers cater to such a wide audience, the software itself is capable of handling a variety of different play styles, house rules, and options.
This page will help you set up Chummer to play nicely with ShadowHaven's rules.
