    Love the ability to show what spells are memorized and what they've prepared (especially since we're running an all mage campaign). The trouble we're having though is finding a good way to track spells that are not part of the core PHB. How can I expand those shown in the spell list?

    Thanks

    Hi Dewguru,

    There is a way to make this happen, actually there is more than one way depending on what works best for you. However, I do not feel comfortable explaining it all to you so I will forward this to our more "tech" savy personnel and you can expect a better answer soon enough.

    Best regards,

    Nick

    This depends on whether you are using the freeform casting method or based on your character class.

    Regardless of the method you use, you will need to edit the Spells.txt file in your d20pro\dm\res\ManuallySpecified folder.

    Open that file and add the spells to the end of the list.

    Freeform Method:
    If you are using the Freeform casting (see the appropriate subtab in your character sheet's Spells tab), then you are done. Find the spell in the master list and select it for whatever spell level or slot you want to fill.

    Spells based on Class
    If you are using spells granted by your class and having d20pro automatically track those, then you also need to edit the Classes.txt file in the same folder above.
    • Open the classes.txt file and find the section for your class.
    • All spellcasting classes have a subsection called #SPELLS AVAILABLE. Under that, they have entries for each spell level, denoted by Spells0= or Spells8= etc. These lines lay out what spells are available for that class at that spell level.
    • Modify the appropriate spells by typing in your new spells into the appropriate levels. Make sure they are spelled EXACTLY as they are in the spells.txt file

    That's it. Basically, edit the spells.txt file to add to the master list, then (if necessary) edit the classes.txt file to add the spell to the class spell list.

    Exactly, though the feats file really doesn't need customizing, as we have a Custom button the feats tab that allows you to just type in the feats you want (they don't have any tracked in-game effects - you do that manually). The skills file does list each skill and the corresponding ability score modifier so d20pro knows how to modify it.

    That's pretty much how you add custom rulesets to d20pro.
