@P@nther:
Just to prevent you from running into possible issues…
Thanks for pointing me at those. I read through them. The end state I envision is a .pdf document with content combined from both rule books (and errata) and indexed in a detailed and logical manner to enable quick lookups. In my view, it would be a “customization” of the rule book in the same way that many other customizations are undertaken here. I think of it as being similar to redoing or enhancing a setup chart, for example, or adding additional markings to a map.
I think that the “possible issues” P@nther was pointing out were the legal issues. Taking WotC’s copyrighted intellectual property, re-enginnering it, then distributing it to other people (even if it’s at no charge) is potentially inadvisable from a legal point of view.
On the subject of “indexing”, by the way, note that the PDF rulebooks for the A&A games have fully searchable text, which comes in handy when you’re looking for something.
