Instructions (Running from source)

    • pip install tkinter-tooltip
  2. Download pcgen_spell_lst_generator.py.

Known Issues

  • Does not handle spells with multiple subschools (e.g., Gate, Mislead). These are relatively rare.
  • Does not handle 3.5e psionic spells. These significantly complicate things by introducing their own schools of magic, weird class prerequisites, etc.
