[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 8178573, member: 57383"] I noticed a couple of issues with the [URL='http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?p=7504479#post7504479'][B]Pearl the Moon Dragon Working Draft[/B][/URL]. The most minor was the "luck bonus" in her Special Qualities had somehow got put in her immunities rather than be a separate ability as it should have been. That's been fixed. The other issue is I couldn't remember for sure how we are sorting the [I]greater/mass[/I] spells' names. In some entries it was sorted to ignore the prefix* (i.e. the SLAs had "[I]locate object[/I], [I]greater teleport[/I]" while in others it included the prefix in the alphabetization (i.e. "[I]greater teleport[/I], [I]locate object[/I]"). *It's not [I]technically[/I] a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefix'][B]prefix[/B][/URL] since the [I]greater/mass[/I] is a separate adjective, but you get the idea and it helps distinguish it from spells whose names begin with adjectives that don't affect the sorting (like, say, [I]sympathetic vibration[/I] - an SRD spell I'd forgotten even existed!). Presumably "dropping the prefix" sorting was done because published spell lists use the format "[I]SPELL, greater[/I]" or "[I]SPELL, mass[/I]" in order to keep them grouped together (i.e. "[I]teleport, greater[/I]" directly follows "[I]teleport[/I]"). Examples in published sources go both ways, or sometimes forget and jumble the order but I'd like us to be consistent! I've udated the Working Draft to be all-alphabetized since that's what we've been using with the recent spell selection posts, but it'd be simple enough to switch to prefix-ignoring-alphabetized.
