Hi Roll20 team,
Sorry to bring this up again — I know there was a thread about this topic that was closed a few months ago, but I really think it’s worth revisiting.
The idea would be to let the GM create and manage a custom compendium , with spells, abilities, or items (including macros like [[ @{caster1_level} ]] Minutes for spell duration). Then, the GM (or players, with permission) could drag-and-drop entries directly from this compendium onto character sheets.
Why this would help:
Cleaner sheets: Instead of loading hundreds of spells at once, players would only add the ones they actually prepare or learn.
Performance boost: For example, in Pathfinder, when I created a level 16 cleric of Sarenrae, I copied all cleric spells up to 8th level… and now the sheet takes 2 minutes to load.
Rules accuracy: Classes like clerics, druids, paladins, and rangers technically have access to their entire spell list. A GM compendium would allow this without overwhelming the sheet.
Consistency: Since the GM could prep the entries with macros, all spells and abilities would be standardized across the campaign.
I think this would be a huge quality-of-life improvement for both GMs and players. Thanks for considering giving this idea another look!
