Annotated Baseclass Database
// BaseClass database file // The above line must appear exactly as shown."// BaseClass database file" // // name (text) // Names should not conflict with any of the names in the // class database, items database, spells database, races // database, or abilities database, all baseclasses start // with a lower case letter and classes with an upper case letter. // eg: name = gnome
// // BonusXP (ability name, mod, bonus1-bonus25) // BonusXP is used to determine if a baseclass gains a bonus // to Experience Points depending on the score for the listed // ability. Ability name is the name of an ability, mod is how // to change the XP such as %, bonus1 through bonus25 are the // values at each ability score. // default is blank // eg: BonusXP = Intelligence,%,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,10,10,10,10,10,10,10,10
// // THAC0 (level1-level40) // THAC0 stands for "to hit armor class 0" and is a list of 40 // integers representing that number at each level of the baseclass // eg: THAC0 = 20,20,20,18,18,18,16,16,16,14,14,14,12,12,12,10,10,10,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9,9

// // Allowed Alignment (alignment, any) // Possible Allowed Alignment options are Lawful Good, Neutral Good, // Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, // Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, Chaotic Evil; or any if all are allowed // eg: Allowed Alignment = Lawful Good // Allowed Alignment = Lawful Evil
// // ExpLevel (integer) // Minimum number of experience points for each character level, // starting with level 1, up to level 40, in order. // One level per line. // eg: ExpLevel = 65420
// // Base Spell Levels (level, spell school name, spell level1-spell level 9) // The keyword Base Spell Level are the spells at a given level // for a given spell school allowed. After name of school, up // to 9 integers may be used // eg: Base Spell Levels = 4,Cleric,3,2,1
// // MaxNumSpellsByPrime (spell school name, ability name, spell-spell25) // MaxSpellLevelByPrime determines the highest spell level a // spellcaster may learn based on an ability score.

// // MaxSpellLevelByPrime (spell school name, ability name, level1-level25) // MaxSpellLevelByPrime determines the maximum spell level // that a baseclass may have for a paritcular score of the // listed ability. // eg MaxSpellLevelByPrime = Cleric,Wisdom,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5,6,7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7
// // HitDice (level, # of die, # of sides per die, bonus) // HitDice determines the Hit Points given to a baseclass at // a particular level. The first number is the level, the second // is the number of dice, the third number is the sides per dice, // the fourth number is the set number of points (bonus) // eg: HitDice = 1,1,10,0
// // Skill (text) // Skills consist of the skill name and the score at which // the skill starts. // eg: Skill = Swim,20
// // SkillAdjAbility (skill name,ability name, mod, num1-num25) // SkillAdjAbility allows modification of a skill based upon // an ability.

// // SkillAdjRace (skill name, race name, mod, value) // SkillAdjRace allows modification of skills per each // race, by listing the name of the skill, name of the // race, percentage sign and number to modify it by // eg: SkillAdjRace = MaxLevel$SYS$,Half-Elf,\=,5
// // SpellBonusAbility (ability name) // If the baseclass gets bonus spells, this is the ability // used to determine the bonus. If blank, no bonus spells. // default is blank. // eg: SpellBonusAbility = Wisdom
// // BonusSpells (ability #, bonus#, level #,2nd bonus #, 2nd level #) // If bonus spells are allowed for the baseclass, this keyword // determines the score and the bonus spells for that ability // score using integer pairs.
