Hi, thanks for getting this PR up again!

Most of the data looks like it is in good shape but there are some errors that will need to be fixed before merging:

  • All the mundane items in data/v2/kobold-press/spg have their rarity set to "Common". This is used for common magic items. For non-magic items this should be left null.
  • The new subclasses are missing their ClassFeatureItem data, which is how the API figures out at what level a feature is gained (take a peak at data/v2/wizards-of-the-coast/srd-2024/ClassFeatureItem.json for a correct example).
  • The new weapons are missing their Item data. Have a look at /v2/data/wizards-of-the-coast/srd-2024/Item.json and look at some of the weapons listed there (ie. srd-2024_longsword) to see how this data is formatted.
  • Looks like most of the subclasses from the Southlands Player Guide are missing

Finally, and this is a matter of personal taste rather than an issue, but I think I prefer southlands as a Document key over spg
