Pathfinder Creature Parser V2

DING DING! That was it! The entire hp line was out of alignment. Silly Paizo statblocks.

Whichever cookie you like!

One other minor thing, the bloodline is being parsed in with the 0 (at will) spells. How should this be formatted so it doesn't think "Bloodline starsoul" is a 0-level spell?

That is part of the next minor release - at the moment it doesn't recognise bloodline, which causes an issue with parsing the last spell in the level 0 entry. I've added this to the minor issue list in post #3 and have a fix in testing.

What would be the proper way to list the blindness/deafness spell to get it to parse properly? It's in the statblock as "blindness/deafness (DC 16)(2)" but I'm getting a note that it can't be parsed and is being skipped.

On a semi-related note, for such spells that have multiple preparations, is it ok to have it formatted as (DC xx, 2)? Or should the DC and the "2" be separated?

Try Blindness-Deafness.

Because FG works out the DC itself I basically ignore DC entries. Either of the examples you give should work to give the number of spells - the DC will not be passed into FG no matter what format is used.

Thanks a lot. This is a great Tool.

Is there any way to parse Creatures from the german Bestiary (Monsterhandbuch) PDF?

I have no idea. The parser relies on recognising the headings from the Paizo statblock standard: https://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/...roduction.html If the headings aren't exactly like this (e.g. they are in German rather than in English) then the parser won't work.

What a pity! If even a translation would be planned into German, the Webpage from the German translation Team could help:

Try Blindness-Deafness.

This doesn't work. Nor does a space or underscore. The error just says "Cannot find spell XML element with name <blindness> cannot parse this spell - skipping." When it skips this one, it also skips all other level 2 spells unless there's a line break after blindness/deafness.

Also, it can't handle multiple metamagics. One enemy with quickened maximized magic missile got "Cannot find spell XML element with name <maximizedmagicmissile> cannot parse this spell - skipping."

Still thrilled I only have to fix a couple of spells on 20th level casters. Thanks!
