[QUOTE="dragon_eater, post: 4303156, member: 63122"] I tried using the schema to write up a level 30 wizard and see what problems I came across. 1. The first problem I had was skill focus as a human bonus feat. The markup: [CODE]<race name="Human"> <choice tag="Bonus Feat">Skill Training:Diplomacy</choice>  </race>[/CODE] That is much different then this: [CODE]<feat name="Skill Training"> <choice tag="skill">Diplomacy</choice> </feat>[/CODE] Might I suggest using the following markup instead: [CODE]<race name="Human"> <feat name="Skill Training"> <skill>Diplomacy</skill> </feat> </race>[/CODE] We could also use the same style for other bonuses granted by race like: [CODE]<race name="Human"> <power type="atWill">Illusory Ambush</power> <skill>Nature</skill> <language>Draconic</language> </race>[/CODE] 2. The second problem I encountered was the Wizard's spell book. I though that the best solution is to put the spells they currently have memorized in the power tag and then add a spellbook tag to it too which contains all the spells the wizard knows. [CODE]<powers>  <power type="daily">Meteor Swarm</power> <power type="utility">Feather Fall</power> <spellbook> <power type="daily">Meteor Swarm</power> <power type="daily">Greater Ice Storm</power> <power type="utility">Feather Fall</power> <power type="utility">Jump</power> </spellbook> </powers>[/CODE] We might want to further subdivide the spellbook by level, but I don't really think that is necessary. 3. There is a minor problem with magical items. Some items have multible different versions. I thought adding an optional element called level. [CODE]<equipment> <item level="30">Bloodthread Armor</item> <item level="29">Orb of Reversed Polarities</item> </equipment>[/CODE] I have attached the complete xml file. [/QUOTE]
