Dungeons and Dragons Cross-Reference
This site contains cross-references for various D & D books. By cross-referencing everything, the hassle of determining which of several books something is in is reduced. Rudimentary data on spell details is included so that spells with the same name but different uses (for different classes, for example) can be differentiated. This is intended to be a useful tool in addition to, but not a replacement for, the books themselves.Formats:
- Alphabetical listing, legal format as PDF file. Better for printing, with a format inspired by old-school printed legal cross-references.
- Alphabetical listing, HTML format. A big table. May annoy your browser. Better for perusing or searching on screens.
Available:
- All editions Listings include all spells, items, tables, and other stuff from all books listed for individual editions below.

# Data lines are composed of colon-separated fields.
# Item/Spell name is always first. Other fields occur in any order.
# A number is the page number, an unnamed field is the school or category.
# Expand spheres of the form 'Elemental (Air, Water)' to 'Elemental (Air),
# Elemental (Water)'.

# To continue a line across a carriage-return,
# put a colon at the end of one line and at the start of the next.
# Here's a sample with a reversible spell:
Transmute Water to Dust:aka Water to Dust:Alteration:
:Reverse Transmute Dust to Water:aka Dust to Water:
:Sphere Elemental (Water), Elemental (Earth):291
# If a reverse spell doesn't have a name, just tag it Reversible.
Succor:Alteration, Enchantment:Reversible:Sphere Summoning:299
# Comments start with a #.
# Here's what a Web spell will look like, when supported:
http www.barella.org/perette/Dnd/newspells.html
Aerate Dead:Necromancy:Sphere Necromantic, Elemental (Air):http #aeratedead
# The tag after http will just get added to the value on http line.
For third edition:
# Use the same header.
# Use Spell instead of Priest or Mage, and use
# the Level field instead of line. You do not have to use the sphere
# field. Use the third-edition abbreviations for classes - Brd, Clr,
# Pal, Rgr, Sor, Wiz. Domains should be spelled out. Unknown classes
# will be treated as a domain.

I can handle spreadsheet files too, but they need to be exported to
text (sometimes called CSV files); in this case, the colons in the
sample represent separate columns.
