Program Suggestions


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hi.

I am working on a program that can generate a random wizard spellbook. I have only just this week started on it, but I can already do that - completely random though. Because of the way I've written it, it's mostly trivial to add in getting a certain amount of random spells. Probably before the end of tonight, it will accept a wizard level and intelligence score to generate the list, sorting it by spell level and then spell name. Nothing flashy, but it's darn useful in the right situation.

Right now, it only includes core material (CRB, APG, UM, UC, and ARG), and as I am still getting a grasp of the OGL stuff, I am hazardous to add more than that.

My intent is to release it freely once it's worth something. It's going to be a project I'm intending to work on for a while.

I would like to ask for suggestions from my fellow Pathfinders. What functionality would be useful? Anything you can think of. I appreciate any sort of ideas you have. I can expand it to work with other spell lists, so if you think you've got a good idea, let me know, I will put it on the list.

Here's what I personally have come up with to possibly add:
- Be able to pick a school and have X% amount of spells appear in the book
- Be able to pick up to two oppositional schools and have -X% amount of spells appear in the book
- Generate spells memorized for the day

Again, anything is welcome.

NOTE: I don't think this belonged in the Compatible Products From Other Publishers because I'm not a publisher, and it's not a product yet.

NOTE 2.0: A big thanks to d20pfsrd.com, as they are allowing me to use their Spell DB to get the raw spell list.
