Spell Database Project

One note I was made aware of. Please spell check things before you upload your version. Basic spelling errors are in the descriptions sometimes from copy and paste that we need to catch. Thanks, BOB

I am refreshing this project. With this new delay in moving to what ever program we will be going to if it Tabletop Connect/Fantasy Grounds 3D/which ever I want to take the time to reorganize the spells in the game.

We have 7 key books to start with. 4 Wizard spell books and 3 Priest spell books. Then there are the additional spells that are scattered out there among the various source materials.

Currently we have spells in Klooge in the Description File. We also have those 7 books in PDF form that we can convert to a plain text format. I also have an access data base with a bit over 2,000 spells in it.

When we are done I would like to have all how ever many thousand spells organized into a file that we can easily import via XML or Javascript into what ever program we move to.

Because we are basically starting from scratch on this I thought to bring up this old page where we were adding to the Klooge spell lists a decade ago.

I will have a better handle on what everyone can do to help soon, I wanted to bring this back up near the top of the lists so that everyone knows what I am working on.

Fields in database:

This is a place to collect all the threads for the on-going project of getting all the available spells for the campaign into a KloOge format.

How to handle this with the data lists for imports
how to make the lists on the dice panel work better
add back to right click menus?

Quote from Data Files:

There are two ways to use these files. For BOB he copies the information into the correct folder for the current DEF file to read. For players or others who want to use them the process is similar. Copy the text between the brackets marked by the @ signs in edit mode (or just the text in the grey box on the page). Then paste that into a .txt file with what ever name you desire. Then on the Character Sheet in KloOge under the Spells tab you can then import the entire list onto the character sheet for use.

There are more spells to add to these lists, as well as change the format of the character sheet to be able to reflect more information about each spell.

Create a single data file for each God and link to it here from their page. Can include racial and religion specific spells for comprehensive lists.

These notes need to be organized into better section and complete
A- what we want to do overall with spells
B - how to digitize those best for Klooge

Wizards: decide on case by case basis for CA availability & Rarity Priests: decide on case by case basis for CA availability & Rarity, when creating spell lists, assign by Spheres (from Deity), Level (Minor vrs. Major Access), Campaign area (not NA), and by Rarity (Common spells being available at first level, Uncommon available at 7th level, Rare spells being available at 11th level, Very Rare available at 16th level)
