Would it be out of line for a Spell Listing thread?

Theres already been a ton; do a search and you should find quite a few.

 

In the meantime, you might find something of interest here:

Looks like a lot of users are hitting it right now, so you might get bounced a few times due to lack of connections to the database, but it's usually stable with normal use.

I wonder if there's enough interest to generate an Online Fantasy Hero Grimoire, sort of like the USPD and Spacer's Toolkit extensions. It'd be a good way to popularize the Turakian Age setting. And I'm sure it would get a lot of submissions...

I think there is enough interest, but Steve has said in the past he doesn't plan to do one. I believe the reason was because no one has time to edit it.

There used to be a web site that collected spell contributions at http://www.spellbook.tv, but that doesn't seem to be around any more.

I like this site. However, the spells have only active points listed, you must then customize each one with Limitations approiate to the campaign being run. They are also D&D-like spells which may not be fitting for some campaigns as well.

I could do it

 

I could put up a list of spells that people submit.

 

What I would need is that the submission come in Hero Designer 2 HDC files though. That way I can customize the HTML output.

 

Just set up all the spells in your system in the powers section and list all of the rules for spell construction in your system.

 

For example a system might be laid out like the following:

 

When building Arcane spells the following rules apply:

You must declare a focus (material components, staff, wand, etc.)

You must have Gestures and Incantations

You must have Side Effects

Spells cannot Cost END

They Cannot use Frameworks

They get the -1/4 Spell limitation

They are priced at Real/3

The largest spell you can cast is your PS:Spell Casting skill check

* 3 + PS:Mechanica skill check * 2. Example. Bob the Mage has

PS:Spell Casting 15- and PS:Mechanica 8-. The largest spell in

active points that Bob can cast is 15*3 + 8*2 = 45 + 16 = 61 active

points.

 

Then what I could do is create a web page for each system that has the rules for spell construction and the list of spells and place that with the HDC in an easily downloadable format.

 

That wouldn't be a lot of work and it might be fun.

I will have my own site just for spells with the common limitations by the end of this week.
