Chargen spellbooks

Post by Enig » Sun Mar 29, 2009 3:35 am

Hello there! Since it pertains to the project I'm working on right now (which involes a lot of object restrings), I was wondering if someone could explain to me how it is that spellbooks given in chargen are restrung to include the PC's name?

Primarily, I'm wondering if there's some way to compile a restring from several lists of nouns and adjectives to produce a multitude of object variations. Thanks in advance for all your help folks :)

There has to be a simpler way to accomplish this, but the way that I approached it with a mobile was this:

I used QBITs and tied QBITs, class, and other criteria to a small selection of potential results. It seems like you are talking about potentially infinite results. Maybe use a string program of some kind? It's something that I have thought about but not tried seriously.

We have a variety of programs like this now which have been approached a couple ways. Is there a preferred structure for this sort of thing? Or better still, would someone care to post a solution that they think is nifty and should be the standard from now on? :D Thanks!
