I just bought the Dungeon Master's Guide module (and I already had the Complete Core Class Pack module, e.g. the equivalent of the Player's Handbook).
I was thinking of using the DMG's new Evil High Priest class to create a powerful villain for my campaign, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to find the Necromancy spells? For instance, for the Death Domain, at 1st Level the character gets the "Reaper" feature, which means the Evil High Priest learns "one necromancy cantrip of his or her choice from any spell list." I'm having a really hard time actually making this selection! The PHB Deluxe module's spell list is categorized in two ways: there is one giant list of every spell in alphateical order, and then there are individual lists of each spell by spellcaster class. The big alphabetical list is not searchable or filterable by spell level or by spell school, so it's no use to me. So in order to find all the cantrips in the PHB, I have to open up every single class's spell list to see that class's list of cantrips (and there is a lot of overlap, as multiple classes often have access to the same spell). But even this stlil requires me to click every single individual cantrip on each list so that I can see what school the spell belongs to.
There's got to be a better way to find this information, right? If it's NOT currently possible within the Fantasy Grounds modules themselves, then I would HIGHLY request that new entries be added to the module to be able to filter / search spells by level and by school. Please tell me there's a better way that I just haven't figured out yet?
Edit: Side note, after actually clicking through every cantrip spell on every class list, I think I only found two Necromancy cantrips that qualify for the Reaper feature? Chill Touch, and Spare the Dying. Is that right, or did I miss something?
