This started with Greyhawk (p. 8) and didn't end until (I believe) AD&D 2nd with its clerical spheres. Even there, I think clerics know all spells in their spheres. Hence, no tool to select what's in a cleric's spellbooks.<br /><br />A tool to determine what a cleric has prayed for that day might be another matter. However, I can't think of one I've seen. I have a post on <a href="http://9and30kingdoms.blogspot.com/2012/01/captured-spellbooks.html" rel="nofollow">determining the contents of a captured (MU) spellbook</a>, which could be adapted to prepped cleric spells, I suppose: assume they have prepped one of each spell of a given level, in the order they appear on the list, up to the number of spells they can prep for that level. Determine the first spell prepped by rolling on the standard list, then roll again to determine if there's a substitution. S&W Core doesn't number the spells, as opposed to OD&D/AD&D, but the lists are pretty short: use a d10 for level 7, d8 for levels 4 and 5, and d6 for the other levels.Talysmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02162328521343832412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5904133056957353312.post-63230589049496176742012-01-25T10:30:08.475-05:002012-01-25T10:30:08.475-05:00I'm not aware of any articles of the sort you ...I'm not aware of any articles of the sort you are asking about. There's a whole lot of stuff about clerics in Dragon 92, though, so that might be helpful.faoladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691952430041394614noreply@blogger.com
