would be helpful, especially since some of the spell descriptions include formulas that use caster level.

FormulasWhile you are not expected to know how to create complicated formulas in Excel, it is helpful to understand somebasic concepts behind them. You will also find this information helpful for inserting key values into a description,or for understanding how existing descriptions include these values.

All formulas start with an equal sign: = All text in a formula must be enclosed in quotes, e.g. ="Helen"Use & to concatenate (stick together in one cell) text and calculated numbers

Examples:="Helen has "&CasterLvl&" caster levels."="Helen's Resist Energy lasts "&CasterLvl*10&" minutes."(Note the spaces inserted in the text so the description is properly formatted.)

A formula with an equal sign (=) before an equation (e.g. 2+2=5) will produce TRUE if the equation is true, andFALSE if it is false.

Examples:=2+2=4 -> TRUE=2+2=5 -> FALSE=ClrLvl=4 -> TRUE if the character has a cleric level of exactly 4, otherwise FALSE=ClrLvl>4 -> TRUE if the character has a cleric level of greater than 4, otherwise FALSE

These can also be combined with OR and AND statements:Examples:

=OR(ClrLvl=4,ClrLvl=5) -> TRUE if the character has a cleric level of 4 or 5, otherwise FALSE=AND(ClrLvl

race, selected on the Race & Stats sheet, for use in the stat block on the Race & Stats sheet.

How to Unhide the Racial Abi liti es sheet.Click Format > Sheet > UnhideIn the Unhide dialog box, select Racial AbilitiesClick the OK button.

Race abilities are best added in alphabetical order based on Full race type.

Rows 1-21 (This area needs updating and more detail on how to add the data to theserows. Each row will probably need its own column descriptions) These rows are used to collect the racial abilities for use in other sheets.

Example:Low-Light vision races are identified in the formula of cells E8:H8.

Rows 22+These rows hold the raw information for all available races.If a race does not have any abilities, it must still have an entry, but the cell in Column B should be left empty.

Column ARace and Sub-race names. If the ability is specific to a Sub-race, add a comma and then the Sub-race name.

Examples:ElfElf, Drow

Column B Ability descriptions.Please note that each ability must start with a "".

To insert the "" symbol press and hold the key and type 0149 on the numeric keypad, (not on themain keyboard area).

Then include the title if the ability has a Title.

If appropriate, append the Special Ability Type descriptor to the title.(Ex) for Extraordinary(Sp) for Spell-Like(Su) for SupernaturalNext, end the title with a colon (:).Finally, enter the ability description. Include any formulas if needed.

Example: +4 racial bonus on Move Silently checks. Claustrophobic: You suffer a -4 circumstance penalty on all attack rolls and skill checks when in anenclosed area. Change Shape(Su): You can assume the form of any Small or Medium humanoid. In humanoid formyou lose your natural attacks.

=" Detect Thoughts(Su): You can continuously use detect thoughts as the spell(caster level 18th; Will DC"&12+ChaMod&" negates. You can suppress or resume this ability as a free action."

Column CThis column displays the abilities available to the race selected on the Race & Stats sheet. Just drag the formulasto copy them to the new lines. Please note that many of these formulas are unique and will need to be created bythe tech team. Simply include the cell on the

Example:=IF(Race=A20,B20,"") (this is the normal formula)=IF(AND(Race=A36,Subrace"Duergar",Subrace"Wild"),B36,"") (this is a unique formula and shouldbe flagged for the tech team to develop)

Column DThis column concatenates the abilities displayed in Column C. Just drag the formulas to copy them to the newlines. Please note that you will need to edit the formulas as described below.

Example:D20 is:=IF(C20="",D21,C20&" "&D21)If you insert a new row 21, D20 will become:=IF(C20="",D22,C20&" "&D22)This is wrong (since it skips over row 21) so the 22's need to be changed back to 21's.You will then drag (copy) the edited formula in cell D20 into cell D21.The formula in cell D21 should then be:=IF(C21="",D22,C21&" "&D22)

Race Info (Im sure there could be more detail added to how to copy and paste formulas soeverything comes out right)

How to Unhide the Race Info sheet.Click Format > Sheet > UnhideIn the Unhide dialog box, select Race InfoClick the OK button.

this tab like Sneak At tack, Skirmish, Druid and Paladin abili ties, etc.)

How to Unhide the Class Abili ties sheet.Click Format > Sheet > UnhideIn the Unhide dialog box, select Class AbilitiesClick the OK button.

New sources are usually added to the bottom of the list right above the Custom Classentries!

Column AList of abilities granted by each class.If the ability can be summarized by a title, you must place a colon ( :) after the title.Includes formulas for cases where numbers change depending on level.

Examples:

=" You can cast bard spells while wearing light armor without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance."(Notice this ability did not have a title.)

=" Restricted Spells: cannot cast "&ForbiddenSpells&" spells."(Notice this ability has a title, so a colon was used to separate the title from the rest of the description.)

=" Suggestion(Sp): You can make a suggestion (as the spell) to a creature you have already fascinated. Will save (DC"&10+INT(BrdLvl/2)+ChaMod&" negates)."(Notice this ability has a title, so a colon was used to separate the title from the rest of the description.It also includes a formula because its effect is dependant on dynamic features.)

Column BIF clause: if the character has the ability in Column A, it's listed in B; otherwise, B is blank.

Column CThis was used to implement the Summarize Class Abilities feature from an old House Rule. This feature is no longerused but the formulas still need to be done.

Column DReturns the Class Ability string that will be used.

Column EConcatenates of all of the character's abilities.The list is collected from the bottom up.

Column FContains miscellaneous formulas.Cell F1 allows an on page display of the Character abilities.

Other cells in Column F are used to make unique calculations for the abilities addressed in their row.Examples:Monk's Armor bonuses:=IF(AND(MnkLvl+MLDLvl+NinLvl>=1,WisMod>0),WisMod,0)+INT((MnkLvl+NinLvl+IPSLvl+TtMLvl+MLDLvl)/5)

Monk's Ki Strike:=IF(MnkLvl+IPSLvl>=16,"adamantine,lawful,magic",IF(MnkLvl+IPSLvl>=10,"lawful,magic",IF(MnkLvl+IPSLvl>=4,"magic","")))

Column HThis column is used for the ClassAbilities list and for misc formulas like sneak attack damage, etc.

Columns J - AOUsed to determine upgrading from the Uncanny Dodge to the Improved Uncanny Dodge ability when Uncanny Dodgeis gained from more than one class.

Also determines total Trap Sense bonus when gained from multiple classes. As well as trapfinding and evasion.

and also separated by base class (near the top) and PrCs (after base classes).

Rows 1 - 3Please do not make any changes in th ese rows.

Rows 3 - 700 (+/-)These rows contain the Base Classes and Prestige Classes. This is the section that new classes will be entered into.

Rows 700+These rows perform further computations. Please do not make any changes in th ese rows .

Column AUnique number assigned to each class.Used on the Classes sheet in column C instead ofusing the drop-down menu.

Column BName of the class.Separated by book names, e.g. B16.

Column C - DClass abbreviations.

Column ECalculates the characters level in that class to a maxof 20. This is part of the epic level support.

Column FCalculates the character's level in that class.Each box uses the class abbreviation in its referencename.

For example,The reference name for F5 is BrbLvl. That enablesany sheet to use "BrbLvl" in a formula, which in turnmakes it *much* easier to determine each formula'spurpose.

Column HSpellcasting levels or bonus spellcasting levels forclasses that only have one spellcasting or bonusspellcasting progression.

Column IBonus spellcasting levels for classes that grant bonusspellcasting progression in more then on class.

Column JBonus manifester levels.

Column KClass' base skill points.

Column L

Class' base hit die size: e.g. 8

Column M Number in column H with a "d" in front, e.g. d8

Column NNumber of levels counting towards the ability to turnundead.

Columns O - UTrue/false cells for armor, shield and weaponproficiency.If a class does not grant the proficiency, the cell isblank.

Column VBAB progression. The formulas refers to a table onthe Tables tab.The formula is:=INDEX(TblAtkSav,$E24+2,2)where TblAtkSav is the table, $E24+2 indicates theclass (using its level from Column E), and a numberreferring to one of the 3 types of BAB progression:fighter (2), cleric (3), and wizard (4).

Columns X, Z, ABFormulas are just like the ones in V, but for saves.There are only two types of save progressions: good(5) and bad (6).

Column WThis is for the Fractional Base Attack bonus. Thereare 3 entries here. Fighter (1), Cleric (.75), Wizard(.5)

Columns Y, AA, ACLike W but for saves. There are only 2 entries here.Good (.5), Poor (.34)

Columns AD - AOVarious summaries and concatenations of the aboveinformation.

Columns AQ - DQ


11/21

Skills table.Each entry is either 1 (cross-class skill) or 2 (classskill). Be careful when adding to these cells becausesome of the skills require formulas. (Example: DC5)

11

Row 2 has the names of the skills, and you can useWindow / Freeze Panes to keep that row on thescreen so you can keep track of what skill goes ineach column.

Column DSSource abbreviations.

Column DTLiving Greyhawk status (Open, Closed, NPC Only,etc)

Columns DW - EITrue/false cells that calculate whether the charactermeets that requirement for the prestige class.For classes with too many requirements to fit, youcan overflow to earlier columns or later columns.These are handled with a lot of different formulas. Butif you take a good look at classes that have similarrequirements you can a lot of time copy and paste the

formulas and edit as needed.

Column EJ Adds up all the true/false to determine whether thecharacter meets all the requirements for the prestigeclass.

Note that if there is overflow in therequirements, EJ must account for that.

Column EKText to be displayed on the Classes page in C70.

Column EL Also used in Classes / C70, but lists eachrequirement individually.Basically, if a requirement is not met, EL will "see"that requirement, and if a requirement is met, EL will"ignore" it.The entries in EL are visible beyond their cellboundaries because subsequent columns are all

empty.

Note:Prestige classes that have choices to make (such as the Oozemaster's oozy touch or the Horizon Walker's terrainmastery) have those choices listed on a separate page:

Prestige Classes I, Prestige Classes II or Prestige Classes III.

Class Weapons and ArmorUnhide the Class Abilities sheet.

Click Format > Sheet > UnhideIn the Unhide dialog box, select Class Weapons and ArmorClick the OK button.

Row 32 has labels for all the columns. For easiest scrolling, I recommend doing an Unfreeze Panes (Windowsmenu), scrolling so row 32 is at the top of the screen, selecting cell A33, and choosing Freeze Panes (Windowsmenu).

A lot of the columns at the end of the list are a series of formulas. If you're adding weapons, you just need todrag/edit the formulas for proper continuity.


12/21

Weapons are added in alphabetical order.

Column AWeapon name.

Column BCategory: S (simple), M (martial) or E (exotic)

Column CSize: L (light), O (one-handed), T (two-handed)or R (ranged)

Column DDamage amount *category*.It is not the damage dice! There is a table at thetop of the page, cells K2:S14. Look at themedium column and find the weapon's damage.The number in Column J of that row is thedamage amount category.

Column E As column D but for the second head of adouble weapon

Column FThreat range (19 means 19-20).

Column GCritical multiplier.

Column H

As column G but for the second head of adouble weapon

Column IRange increment, if it can be used as a rangedweapon.

Column JWeight.

Column KDamage type: B (bludgeoning), S (slashing), P

(piercing), P/S (piercing and slashing), etc.

Column LWhether the damage is nonlethal: S (subdual) ifit is nonlethal, blank if it is lethal

Column MTRUE if the weapon has reach, otherwise blank

Column N

Labeled "Special" and most cells are blank, withthe occasional T, U, M or O.Thrown (T), Racial (R), Split Exotic/Martial (X),Need Weapon Familiarity (F), Racial orFamiliarity (R,F), Monk Unarmed weapon (U),Mighty (M), Primary Natural (P), SecondaryNatural (S). It is unknown what O is for.

A lot of these cells use formulas so be mindfulwhen one is needed.

Column OFormula if there's a special condition that grantsproficiency in the weapon.Examples:

If a race gets it via Weapon FamiliarityIf it's on a specific list of class weaponssuch as a rogue using a sap or a wizardusing a dagger.If there is no such condition, thencolumn O is blank.

Column PFormula if there's a special condition that grantsproficiency in the weapon through worship of adeity.Examples:

If a cleric gains proficiency in it via thewar domain

Column QWhether the character has taken a feat tobecome proficient with the weaponExample:

=NOT(ISNA(MATCH(A34,TblExoticFeats,0)))is TRUE if the character has ExoticWeapon Proficiency (Bastard Sword).(You'll recall that column A has theweapon's name -- in this case, A34 has"Bastard Sword".)

Column RWhether the character is proficient via martialweapon proficiency (e.g. fighter) or simpleweapon proficiency (most PC classes).

Column S Whether the character is proficient with theweapon; it's an OR formula since any of thepreceding 3 methods may enable a character tobe proficient.

Column TRunning number-tally.


13/21

Column U Column AK Lists the weapon if the character is proficient. Lists all weapons the character is proficient with,

again using a formula.Columns V - AC

Column ALMore formulas to enable proper display andcalculation of what weapons the character canuse.

Lists any weapons the character has taken afeat for, using -- guess what? -- a formula.

Column AB Column AN Weapon's name if it's an exotic weapon. It usesa formula, so don't just type in the name.

Appears blank but actually contains a formula. Itseems to be basically the same information as in

AG.Column AD - AJ Lists simple, martial and exotic weapons, againusing formulas.

Column GHEnter a 1 if the skill can be used untrained. Enterthe formula =1*(FtJackOfAllTrades) if the skill cannot be used untrained.

Column GI This column applies any racial and templatemodifiers to the skill. Any modifiers due to graftsselected must be added to this formula.

Examples: Appraise (skill without any graftmodifiers)=MAX(INDEX(TblRaceSkillMods,1,BO6),INDEX(TblTemplateRacialSkillMod,1,BO6))

Balance (skill modified by a grafts)=MAX(INDEX(TblRaceSkillMods,1,BO8),INDEX(TblTemplateRacialSkillMod,1,BO8),4*GRAddedTail,4*GRFlexibleSpine)

Column GJThis column applies several class-relatedmodifiers to the skill. These include adjustmentsfrom familiars, class or prestige class levels,domains, and selected class features. Theseformulas can become very complicated. If youfeel uncertain about coding the formula, pleasesubmit a description of what needs to be modifiedto your Team Leader.

Labeled as prestige classes by deity, but I'm notsure what the relevance is -- for example, Pelorhas "Hunter of the Dead" rather than the moreobvious "Radiant Servant of Pelor".

VERY IMPORTANT NOTEIf you insert rows, you can drag boxes to fill in the formulas, but make sure the formulas are changed correctly.For example:If you insert a new row between 11 and 12, the old row 12 becomes row 13. However, formulas in row 13 will stillrefer to row 11 (skipping over 12 entirely) when they should instead refer to row 12.

A. Highlight the cell. We aren't going to be merging in the strict sense that a spreadsheet is usually merged, so TrackChanges will only needlessly increase the size of the worksheets to unmanageable proportions. Pick a color that isn't


21/21

generally used in the spreadsheet and just use the little paint can icon to fill the cells. If you have an item that needsspecial attention, highlight it in red or something that can't be missed.

Q. Who will do the validation (of feat availability) and pointing of the checkboxes to appropriate locations after our dataentry?

A. That's going to be a technical task. All the data entry teams need to worry about is creating a master copy that has allthe new data in it (at least for the time being).
