Spell List Help Please


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Okay first and foremost, I apologize foe this being in the wrong section, if it is.

Okay to my problem...

I bought the PDF version of the Pathfinder Core Rulebook a while ago, but unfortunately, the electronic version of the Core rulebook isn't really printer friendly, and I don't have access to a notebook computer or the like to look at it while I'm at the gaming table.

What I would really like to do is to print out the spell lists for the spellcasting classes, as we don't have many harcover books in my group, 2 to be exact, and we have to share them among 7 people at the table, DM not included.

We also tend to play high magic campaigns, and as such 90% of the party are spellcasters of some sort, this also makes it difficult to pass the book down the table soeach of us can look up a spell effect, so we can look through our spell lists each morning after resting, and pick the spells we are going to memorise, all the while the DM wanting to re-read spell effects that will take place in the near future, using up 1 of our Core Rulebooks.

It slows down the game, and serves as a sore point in my table's gaming nights (we spend on average 3 or 4 minutes each trying to pick the spells we are going to memorise) the whole process takes over 20 minutes each rest period in our current Second Darkness campaign.

I myself am a Pathfinder DM, and I find it difficult and frustrating to have to constantly get a core rule from a player who is trying to oganise tactics with the other players, just to look up any differences in the spell description that changed from 3.5 to Pathfinder.

If somebody knows about a printer frindly version of the spell lists, just the lists, not the descriptions, that would help me and my gaming table immensely.

I have made spellbooks for myself and players by copying and pasting from the PDF into a Word (or WordPerfect) document. This allows you to tailor spellbooks to the character, adding as needed.

It takes a bit of work on your part to make sure that the formating is cleaned up, but I think that the effort is well worth it.

Another option is that someone has been working on spell cards which have an image and the spell description on them. If I can find the thread, I will post the link later.

Working on a similar project myself... as soon as the character sheet is done, I'll be working on and releasing spell cards with verbal and somatic examples for each. For now, I'd recommend peaking at the pathfinder SRD spell database.
