Handbook Idea/Request Spells by Descriptor
« on: June 01, 2012, 05:57:04 PM »
I think it would be a good idea to create a handbook that lists each 3.5 spell descriptor and all the spells that are have each descriptor.

eg
[Law]
(click to show/hide)

[Good]

(click to show/hide)

etc

There's a website with a search engine that does that, just an fyi.

I thought about that, but then, how do you know which ones you can cast? Not all spells can be cast by all classes.
If you have questions about 3.5 D&D, you might want to look at the:

There are filters, so you can filter out the spells your class can't cast, just like you filter out the spells that don't have the descriptor you're looking for. Much easier than doing it manually from a big, jumbled list like it would be in a forum handbook.
