Description
Save your action bars, addons, chat tabs and keybindings as a plan, and set up every new character of that class from it.
Set up one character's bars the way you like them, save them as a plan, and every new character of that class gets the same bars, including the spells it hasn't learned yet. Each spell goes onto its button the moment you learn it, and a new rank replaces the old one on the same button. No more dragging spells out of the spellbook every few levels.
What a plan keeps
- Your action bars: spells, macros and items, button by button. Macros with logic in them (stance swaps, mouseover, /startattack) are made on the new character when it doesn't have them.
- Single-spell placeholder macros (
#showtooltip X//cast X) are saved as the spell itself, so you can plan spells you can't learn yet without using up the new character's macro slots. - Which addons are on: applying the plan switches the new character's addons to match and offers a reload.
- Your chat tabs: names, message types, channels, font size, colour and order.
- Your keybindings: a character with its own keybindings passes them on; otherwise the new character uses your account-wide keys.
Addons, chat tabs and keybindings each have an On/Off switch, all on by default.
How to use it
/barplan(or the minimap button) opens the window.- On a character whose bars are done, type a name and click Save. Plans belong to their class.
- A new character of that class is asked at its first login, with your class's plans to pick from. Or choose a plan in the window and click Apply.
- Play. Learned spells go onto their buttons (after the fight if you learn one in combat).
A button you empty yourself after BarPlan filled it stays empty, and a button you put something else on stays yours.

Taking your plans along
Plans are account-wide and live in WTF\Account<account>\SavedVariables\BarPlan.lua. Copy that file (with the game closed) to take them to another WoW folder or account. Handy on launch day.
