Treantmonk has guides for Ranger, Monk, Wizard, and Druid, but they use only the core PF book, so they're a bit dated now.

Finished rating up to 3rd level spells. Holy crap is it a daunting task. I feel the need to check even spells from 3E just to make sure nothing about them's been changed, or if so, how it affects the value. Super time consuming.
 

Hm.... _would_ that be too powerful as a Grand Hex? It is a one-round save-or-(effectively)-die spell, and you normally wouldn't have to cast it on the same person twice....

Warlock in 3E got at will baleful polymorph, without even the once/creature/day restriction, iirc. No one that had thoroughly looked it over or saw it in play thought that was an overpowered class. Granted, they didn't have spellcasting.

Would it be worth it to just have a single list for spell worthiness, you think? Granted, there are cases where a spell is worth more to an oracle than a druid, but on a scale of 1 to 4, there shouldn't be that much variation. I'd think, anyway.

If there were a unified spell list, then a class guide would only have to point out those cases where a spell is particularly useful or useless to a class or archetype.

Well, it's a 5 scale now, I got tired of my 4 point scale because some things were so utterly terrible I found myself rating items that weren't very good but yet still leagues better than say...the rogue talent for +2 rounds to hold your breath as two stars just to differentiate it.

And I'm not sure what you mean by a single list? You mean rate every single spell in the game in its own hand book and just refer to it in this one and any others I made? That would be efficient...if i planned to ever make guides for even 1/4 of the spellcasting classes. I don't plan to do that, though. :)

Just curious do you plan to turn your guide into a document when you are done and post it somewhere?

Not really. Just have the thread here, maybe add it to BG's illustrious collection of handbooks, no plans beyond that. I'm not really a fan of google docs, and whatever frame-based program (I think it's also google docs) that treantmonk uses on d20pfsrd is so screwy I can't even view it in IE anymore, I need to open firefox just to view it.

Yep. A single handbook full of spell ratings. Everything in the game.
