[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8084695, member: 6803643"] There's a reason spells have universal levels, though. Paladin/Ranger/Artificer might get Spell levels 1-5 over the course of 1st-20th level rather than SL 1-9 over that same period, but the fact that they learn their spells slower doesn't change the tremendous benefit from having spells by level tabbed. If Pages 211-289 are spell descriptions, then say pages 211-215 are cantrips, 216-230 are 1st level, 231-240 are 2nd level, 241-250 are 3rd level, 251-260 are 4th, 261-270 are 5th, 271-275 are 6th, 276-280 are 7th, 281-285 are 8th, and 286-288 are 9th. As a spell caster, I'd only ever have to look at the pages I have spell levels from. An1st-level spellcaster would only ever need the first 20 pages of the spell lists, rather than having to flip all around the chapter to look up their spells. WotC shouldn't ASSUME that you're using some sort of support tool to find each of your spells. There's a reason GaleForce9 has made a killing on spell book cards. It's just too much busy work to keep skipping around the book during a game. People who don't buy the cards almost certainly have copied over their known spells to a word document or something for reference. It's unwieldy and unnecessarily so. And it's even worse for Divine Casters who know their entire spell list to draw from every day. [/QUOTE]
