Can I host a COMPLETE druid spell list?

[Ustice]

I'm playing a Druid in a 3.5 game, and got tired of trying to find the right spell, and get the stats on it, so I created a COMPLETE spell list, with every spell in the Book of Exalted Deeds, Complete Champion, Complete Mage, Complete Scoundrel, Cityscape Dragon Magic, Frostburn, Heroes of Battle, Heroes of Horror, Lords of Madness, Player's Handbook, Player's Handbook 2, Races of the Dragon, Races of Stone, Spell Compendium (which has spells from the rest of the books), Sandstorm, and Stormwrack. I have the level of the spell, the name, short description, the book in which it is published, the page it appears on, school, components (V, S, M, F, DF, XP, and Frostfell), casting time, range, target/area, duration, saving throw, and spell resistance.

This was something that I was just making for myself, but it is VERY useful, and I would like to be able let other people use it as well.

What I want to know is, is this something that I could host somewhere without having to worry about the IP police knocking on my door? Since it is made to be used as a spell list, and not a replacement for the books, it doesn't have the full rules text, and requires that you have access to the books to use, it shouldn't be a threat to copyright or sales (if 3.5 is even sold any more).

The BEST solution would be in a format where it could be accessed by others that could help with editing it, since while I tried to be careful, all of the data was entered by hand, and I am SURE it must contain errors. Barring that, just hosting the file is fine too.

Right now, it is a google spreadsheet, but it would be easy enough to export if that is necessary.

I'm not looking for a full legal interpretation of the law, but more of a practical application based on other fan works and tools.

Keep it to yourself.

Posting it on this board would not be a good idea.

A web page called crystal keep might already have a similar resource.

Welcome!

It sounds like you have the full text of the spells available? Yeah, unfortunately, it's probably not wise to advertise it far and wide-- though IANL, and don't really know the rights and wrongs of that sort of thing, so I tend to err on the paranoid side.

And unless you're 100% sure, pointing to from here is likely against the rules , too.

Ya, no full text. I don't have the time for that, and that isn't something that I would have been interested in. I could always go look up the text in my books when I needed that. I just wanted a comprehensive spell list.

I didn't post it here, since I wasn't sure if that would be allowed as well, even if it isn't a problem in general.

Frank is correct:

Crystal Keep Home Page

There is a Druid spells pdf.

This site has been up for a long time. I would think it would have already been challenged if there was an issue, but I don't know for certain.

Thanks

The spell stats are not a problem, as long as you don't have the full spell description.

After checking that out, I think that it will be fine. After all, the Crystal Keep one can be used completely without a book. In that case, I think that I will just make a copy (just in case Google takes it down), and share it out.

Thanks for the input!

While Crystal Keep is certainly the most comprehensive and useful such source out there, it is worth noting that it is still not complete. The spell lists were last updated in 12/2005 (just after the Spell Compendium was released), and 21 more sourcebooks were released since then, most of which contain new spells.

So if you are looking for a complete list, your best bet is to start from CK and add what has come afterward. (And make sure Chet Erez is all right with you doing so, if you intend to host it.) Generally speaking, though, CK is complete enough for all intents and purposes.

The list that I created is complete, though it doesn't have the complete spell wording, just the quick descriptions that are in the spell lists. I decided to make it a public Google Doc, so it should be available now.
