[QUOTE="Dessert Nomad, post: 7521949, member: 6976536"] Actually, if they just list the class then it's pretty useless because just tagging a spell 'Cleric' or 'Warlock' isn't sufficient, as there are a number of spells that aren't on the regular Cleric or Warlock list but that they can cast based on Domain or Patron. You either have spells that you can cast that still won't be tagged with your class if you don't include Domain/Patron, or you have a bunch of spells tagged for your class that you can't actually cast. All the ritual spells and cantrips need a 'Warlock' tag, since you can take Pact of the Tome and Book of Secrets to be able to use any of them. And all cantrips and first level spells would have to be tagged with every class, since any class can take the Magic Initiate feat to get a first level spell and two cantrips. You'd also need to list Fighter and Rogue on all of the spells on the Wizard list up to 4th level since they can use any of them. And 'Bard' needs to be on every single spell up to sixth level since a Lore Bard can take any two of them. I can see why they didn't try to index by class, they wouldn't get a useful result. Either you'd have a silly number of tags, or you'd have a lot of spells that you actually can cast that aren't flagged for your class. [/QUOTE]
