Fixed! Thanks again.

Ah! Right you are. I missed updating that one entry in the Word doc. I'll fix it when I get home and reply again when it's done. Nice catch, thanks!

Did you try it again within the last day? Can you give me a specific example of something that's in one but not the other?

Really? They should be the exact same. I modified them both and checked them in to github last night at the same time. But yes, that's how you'd do it. I realized though I can't just cut & paste and have it work perfectly, though. It wipes out the "A - C" references at the top of each page if...

Nice! Thanks! I've added them all and updated the files. Here is what I actually added: - "Disable trap" (1st edition term) **NOTE: already there (under traps, removing or disabling) - "Open doors" (1st edition term... opening/bashing a stuck door p.175-176) door, opening picking...

Yes! This is exactly the kind of feedback I want. I remember this being something I wished was in there, but I didn't write any of them down! Thanks. I've updated all of the files with better swimming references.

I'm not surprised. I formatted it so you could print it out, trim off the right-hand 1/2", and slip it directly into the back of your PHB. The Word doc is available on the site, too. Feel free to download that, adjust the margins, and re-print!

Nice catch! Fixed.

Oh I had forgotten about that. I was planning to use bold to indicate the prime reference. Like when you see Armor Class (AC), 7, 14, 144, 177. Which is the MAIN armor class page? You don't want to have to check all of them to figure it out. So maybe the "d" prefix for DMG, or italics or...

If I make major changes I'll update this thread. If they're just minor additions I'm just going to update the repository. There's a subscribe function on the github repository. I'd subscribe to that directly if you're interested in the little updates as they trickle out.

As far as I know I'm done. I ASSUME, though, that I have a bunch of mistakes/omissions that I'll find or people will tell me about and I'll incorporate them and keep updating the github repository with the newest version. There's also a searchable mobile web version in the works.

Yeah, I thought of that a couple of times. *I* wouldn't use it so I don't think I'll make it;) The best projects come from something you personally want. It's all open-sourced on my github page, though, for anyone who wants to use the one I made as a starting point...

I included the Word document on the site. Site here: https://github.com/copperdogma/dnd-phb-5e-index Direct link to downloadable Word doc here: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcopperdogma%2Fdnd-phb-5e-index%2Fraw%2Fmaster%2FPHB%2520Index%2520Improved.docx You can...

Yeah I'm kind of half-expecting that;) Hopefully they see it as supporting their product, helping others enjoy it more, and see it's 100% useless without owning the actual book.

That's a fair point! I assume what happened is they poured more time into iterating on the rules and the playtesting and sort of ran out of time/budget at the end to do really thorough playtesting with the final version. You know what? I'd MUCH rather they did it the way they did -- focus on...

That's exactly it;) That's the crap we couldn't stand anymore. I'm sure there are a TON of things that still need to be tweaked. Entries missing entirely, entries missing the prime page you're actually looking for, etc. I'll keep updating it!

No doubt! It also feels like the released it like software: rush it out and patch it later. But it's not software. It's a book. You can't patch it (aside from what I did with this index). I'd rather they release the PHB as an app, complete with dynamic search, live examples, videos, easily...

Nice;) Glad you like. Speaking of phones, some other awesome guy is making a mobile web version using my index as the source. So you can jump to letters and do a dynamic search. I'll post here again when he's done it!

EN World member copperdogma has taken the time to rewrite the D&D 5E Player's Handbook index. I must admit, in my 5E games we find some amusement in the way that no matter what you look up in the index, it always seems to tell you to see something else also in the index like a little case of...
