Totally agree. What seems easy from the outside can be a nightmare inside the code.

The most fun is Pathfinder Rules. Yeah its only "one" rule sentence and it takes three days to implement in the scripts.

Why would you expect to have spellbooks implemented for classes that don't use spellbooks? I'm thinking the idea is to have "Print available spells" options for classes that don't use spellbooks? That's an awful lot of printing once you get out of low levels, though.

A cleric might not have spellbooks, but they do have many spells from multiple sources. I, as GM, want to be able to give player a complete list of the spells that player has access to. And as a user of Realm Works, when I create NPCs and import them into it so that when an encounter occurs, i have all the information I need to run that encounter.

Each of my players gets a notebook containing character sheets, spell info, ability descriptions, etc. I don't need to print a new list at every level, just need to print a new level of spells when required, or I can create a pdf of the info that can be viewed on a tablet/pc/notebook.

All I am asking is to give me the option to do it in what is convenient for me and my group. If you don't want to print, then don't. :-)

Just found that I could add a spellbook thru the Gear Tab. So some of my whining is now obsolete. (blushes deep red). The idea of being to put all spells for a normally non-spellbook class with the click of button by level would be nice, as well as to pick which source to add spells from.

You can also set a spell to be prepared 0 times once you've added it to your spell list. That will still print among your normal spell list. The idea behind that is so that you can store your often-prepared spells in the same list, and then just change your preparation counts by moving numbers, rather than adding and deleting.
