    5E - Random Spellbook Generator

    Random Spellbook Generator

    Extension for the 5E ruleset that adds the option of creating random spellbooks. The main use case is generating random loot for wizard PCs.

    How

    The "Items" window now has a "Spellbooks" button next to the Forge button.

    The Random Spellbook window allows the DM to specify:
    • a name for the spellbook;
    • a way of generating a random spellbook name;
    • spell selection preferences and weights;
    • the number of spells per spell levels to select.




    The theme used in this screenshot is SirMotte's Hearth: https://github.com/SirMotte/FGU-Theme-Hearth/releases

    Ranked Spell Selection

    When selecting spells, the generator will first shuffle the list of spells. It will then rank each spell according to the set of chosen preferences. If a spell matches the preference, the associated weight is added to the spell's rank. Ranked spells are then reverse sorted by rank and the target number of spells per spell level are added to the new spellbook.

    Why

    For my second extension, I primarily wanted to learn how GUI programming works in FGU (windows, templates, anchors, etc) and starting a new campaign with a wizard PC gave me an excuse

    Jolly Good
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Should this show up in extensions once added from FG Forge since I'm not seeing it after doing check for update?

    Thanks for the info! I changed some settings in the Forge regarding the extension type. Go ahead and try again. If it still doesn't show up, you might try the old-fashioned way and copy the ext file directly in the extensions folder.

    The extension is downloading OK into the extensions folder. However under load campaign in the extensions area it is not showing up.
