# Pathfinder 2 Sqlite
|
|
|
|
This will be a repository for the code necessary to generate a sqlite database
|
|
containing the open gaming content for the Pathfinder 2 table-top
|
|
role-playing-game system that is available under the Open Gaming License. Pull
|
|
requests welcomed!
|
|
|
|
## Why sqlite?
|
|
|
|
It's an open, permissively licensed, and portable single-file database that does
|
|
not require setting up a client/server model. It's also likely that the database
|
|
will fit into memory easily so performance issues aren't likely to be a problem.
|
|
Also, most use cases of this data will likely be read only, so the sqlite
|
|
limitations on concurrent writes won't be an issue either.
|
|
|
|
## Why not JSON?
|
|
|
|
Because I'd rather leverage sql's power, than writing internal code to a future
|
|
Pathfinder 2 app. Also, because sqlite is pretty much language agnostic at this
|
|
point; Pythonistas, Gophers, Rustaceans, and anything in between can access a
|
|
sqlite database.
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
1. Design schema;
|
|
2. Write script to generate sqlite database from sql code;
|
|
3. Write sql code; and
|
|
4. Drinks for all when finished!

## Ability Scores in Integer Representation
|
|
|
|
| Ability Type | Value |
|
|
|--------------|-------|
|
|
| None | 0 |
|
|
| STR | 1 |
|
|
| DEX | 2 |
|
|
| CON | 4 |
|
|
| INT | 8 |
|
|
| WIS | 16 |
|
|
| CHA | 32 |
|
|
| Free 1 | 64 |
|
|
| Free 2 | 128 |
|
|
|
|
If I wanted to say STR and DEX, I would use a `3`. If I wanted STR, WIS, and
|
|
CHA, that would be 1 + 16 + 32 = `49`. This is to not have to have more database
|
|
tables than necessary when trying to list one or more ability scores.
