Organization of leveled abilities and equipment - Alphabetical vs Level-Alphabetical


General Discussion


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Currently, all feats, spells, snares, alchemical items, runes, etc.. are laid out alphabetically. Each of these also has an associated level with them.

I find myself having to flip through pages multiple times to compare same-level abilities.

I feel that if the layout was to organize them all by level and then alphabetically, it would be easier to not only compare, but to focus on what my character can use right now.

There is a ton of stuff in this book, and wrapping my head around it all will take time. But if I can segregate abilities and only focus on what I can use right now, it would help tremendously - and even more so to a brand new player.

At level 1, I really only want to look at the level 1 feats to best compare and see what I want to choose. I don't want to have to skip past all the level 5s and 17s and 8s just to find that other level 1 buried in the RS. By level 6, I've already looked at all the level 1-5 feats, so I know what's there, but now I can open up to the level 6 feats and see what's new to me.

The same is true for all other level-associated abilities and items.

It just helps me learn the system and would be an easier entry for a new player.

Thanks for listening.

Especially when the class feats as presented in the class entries is Level-Alphabetical, it's kind of jarring I agree.

The table that breaks out all the categories, then lists them in L-A order within each section is nice, and maybe the argument in favour of keeping the full feat entries in straight alphabetical order - skim the chart for something(s) you like, flip forward to read the full details.
