Party Spells Interface Overview

The Party Coordinator compares the known and prepared spells of a party’s spellcasters and includes a synergy analysis.

---

Requirements

The Party Coordinator reads the system’s group actors. A group member counts as a spellcaster when it has a spellcasting class or spells granted by a feat or species.

Mark a group as the primary party with Set as Primary Party in the group’s context menu in the Actors sidebar. Party Mode uses only the primary party. The coordinator falls back to any group the actor belongs to.

---

Opening the Party Coordinator

• Group actor sheet: the Open Party Spell Pool button in the sheet header appears when the group has at least one spellcaster. The Tidy 5e Quadrone group sheet gets the same button.
• Spell Book sidebar: the Party Spells button appears when the actor belongs to a group. Left click opens the coordinator. Right click toggles Party Mode for that actor.

---

Party Mode

With Party Mode on, each spell in the Spell Book shows the avatars of other primary party members who have that spell prepared. Each avatar is ringed in the color of the user assigned that character. The maximum number of avatars per spell is set on the settings page.

Without a primary party that contains a spellcaster, Party Mode shows no avatars and posts a notification asking for one.

---

Member cards

Each card lists the member’s spellcasting classes with subclass names, plus Feat and Species entries for spells granted that way. Feat and species spells cast as always prepared, innate, or at will count as prepared. The badges show known and prepared totals.

• Click a card to show only that member’s spells. Click the card again, or elsewhere in the window, to clear the filter.
• Hover a card to highlight that member’s prepared spells.
• Right click a card for Open Actor Sheet.

---

Spell comparison

Spells are grouped by level. Each spell lists every member who knows it, with prepared and known entries styled differently. Click a level header to collapse it. Collapsed levels stay collapsed for that user.

The window updates when a member’s spells change. Reopen the window after changing the group’s membership.

Synergy Analysis

The synergy analysis button in the window header opens a read-only summary of the party’s prepared spells.

Recommendations

A recommendation appears when the party’s prepared spells show one of these patterns:

• Most damage comes from a single damage type.
• Two or more members prepared the same spell.
• A high share of prepared spells need concentration.
• Few damage types are covered.
• Few saving throws are targeted.
• Few rituals are prepared.
• No healing is prepared.
• Most prepared spells are low level.
• Several spells consume material components.
• Most save-based spells target one ability.
• Most spells are self or touch range.

Statistics

• Total Unique Spells and Total Prepared Spells count each member’s copy of a spell separately.
• Concentration and Ritual count prepared spells with that property.
• Components counts V, S, and M. M* counts spells whose material component is consumed.
• Duplicate Prepared Spells lists spells prepared by more than one member.

Hover a category or count to see which members contribute to it.

Permissions

A member’s spells appear in the comparison, Party Mode, and Synergy Analysis only when the user has Observer permission on that actor. Other members show a card without spell details. Open Actor Sheet requires Limited permission.
