5E Character Wizard Bug Reports

[LordEntrails]

Any luck?
Updates are usually pushed on Tuesdays. I would not expect these updates until at least then.

Any luck?

Looks like there is a problem with Arcane Trickster getting their spells so I am fixing that first. You said you were on the spell page and only the Arcane Trickster was listed in the spell class window and nothing else? What other spellcaster classes did you have? Typically only the spellcaster classes/specs are listed there.

[ZelieDad]

The player was unable to select any roguish archetypes. The only one that was even visible was the arcane trickster, but that was only visible on the spell selection tab.

I have attached two images. One is of a character that I started to create that showed the 3 archetypes available at level 3 for the rogue. The other being the character my player is trying to level up. On the class selection tab, increasing to level 3 for the PC doesn't show the options.

The second image appears as if the player had no books loaded. They will need the requisite (PHB at least) books opened on their end to level up a character.

Thank you. While third party rulesets aren't currently supported, (even 5E compatible) I do need to make sure they don't throw a script error. I will see what it will take to make UltraModern5 usable with the Character Wizard, though.

I know this is low priority and related to third party modules, but is there any update on this or a workaround? My group switched from SWADE to Ultramodern and now nobody can create a character.

You can still create characters in the normal way, just not using the Wizard.

While it is an eventual goal, expanding the Character Wizard to include 3rd party content isn't really a small project. I have a number of the classes and 'births' created but I have to be careful to not impact the other core 5E D&D classes and heritages/races. It requires a lot of testing for each class/birth addition. However, it is continuing.

Here is a screenshot but from a player's session. As you can see, I have all of the player books loaded, and I selected level 3, which should have allowed me to select the archetype for this character. Clicking save gives the error, "Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard.lua"]:1640: attempt to index local 'nodeSource' (a nil value)"

Hi, I have been DMing a game for my friends in Classic FG (with Ultimate licence, no extensions) and I wanted to add to the discussion here by reporting a bug concerning the levelling up of the bard class. One of my players got the following error when he tried to level up his bard:

Script Error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard_invlist.lua"]:33: bad argument #-1 to 'setValue' (number expected, got string)

He clicked through it and just proceded with the game as if nothing wrong happened. And things seemed to work out well enough. His HP was increased properly and he got the special skills a bard gets at 2nd level so everything seemed fine apart from that one error.

He's now at level 5 and says that he had more troubles during levelling but simply fixed this by manually adding whatever was missing. The biggest issue now is that his spells and abilities give the wrong DC save. The wizard appears to subtly corrupt the character file every time it is used.

My other players had similar experiences at their levelling up. Classes involved were the (bladesinger) wizard, (circle of the moon) druid and (horizon walker) ranger.

I have now manually recreated the bard and levelled up by the old-style method of dragging the class onto the level and then adding the new spells and such, and that seems to work as it should. For now I think I will have to ask my players not to use the character wizard to prevent this corruption of their characters.

Thanks for the report Nathilion, I am working on getting a fix out for the spell DC bug right now and it should be out soon. (along with a number of other issues)

So I'm trying to create a homebrew wizard archetype. Now, the old way was to just create another Wizard class and add everything specific to the new subclass/archetype on that. With the drag and drop method, it would bring up the official archetypes and the new archetype no problem. However, in the character wizard, not only is it a separate class choice, but it also doesn't work when leveling at all. It gives me the choice for the custom archetype(and only the custom archetype), but after I save, the archetype is not listed in abilities and none of the archetype specific features are there either. The old drag and drop kind of works, though it doubles the archetype choice ability. This wouldn't be an issue, except my players aren't tech savvy enough to remember how to bring up the class options now that their not in the library anymore and are relying on the character wizard more and more for leveling. Luckily, the stacking spell slots bug has been fixed.

This is a similar issue to one last year I noticed, where even official classes' subclasses weren't being added to the character sheet while using the wizard. Which is why I only recently even started using the wizard. But now that I have players wanting to try homebrew subclasses, the wizard is becoming an issue again and It's a real headache. All of my official supplements merge well with phb material, but none of the custom ones do. I even created a new custom race with simple archetypes and archetype related features to see if it would work, and the wizard still didn't add any of the archetype choices automatically. The drag and Drop did, so I know I created it properly.

*Edit*
OK, so after further testing. If I create the character at a level equal to or higher than the archetype, it adds the archetype's features up to the level created, but fails to add the archetype itself to the Features section of the abilities tab. This makes it so when I go to level the character, none of the other features that require the chosen archetype are added through the wizard. So I know that they're done correctly, because it works some of the time, so this is definitely a bug. If I drag and drop the class in the old ways, it works perfectly, however, as stated above, my players have difficulty with that now that the character options have been removed from the library.

I did notice that the wizard also fails to add the official archetypes to the Features section now too, however, the official classes still work when leveling through the wizard. I have also added the archetype to the Features section manually on the custom class and used the wizard to no avail. The then tried leveling up the drag and drop method until I got the choice to choose an archetype, which added the archetype and features properly and then used the wizard for higher levels and it doesn't add the archetype's higher level features that way.

[Zacchaeus]

Unless you go into the xml and change the way the data is stored for Homebrew subclasses they won’t show up if you use the class from the PHB or any other module. You’ll need to export your classes to a module and have your players only use that module if you want them to use the classes properly.

I've tried that, the wizard doesn't work properly with any custom classes or subclasses. My original post has been edited to hopefully clarify the bug. I have no issue if they have to select the correct 'custom' class to get the options they want, but the wizard just doesn't add the archetypes for anything custom, even if its a new class that doesn't exist in the official books. I've even copied an official class, exported it, then imported it as a custom MOD, and I only had the copy version in my library loaded. I then used the wizard and it still didn't add any of the archetype features when leveling, it only them if I created the character at a high enough level to have them, and then it wouldn't add the additional features when leveling through the wizard. Unless you don't want the wizard to work at all with custom content, this is definitely a bug.

*Edit*
Leveling wizard isn't working properly for official either. It will add the official archetype features when you reach the level of choosing an archetype, but it isn't adding the higher archetype level features if I save and level again. it only adds the features when I choose the archetype, up to what ever level I did that level up. so one step better than what it does with custom classes. I got confused earlier, because the official classes have base class features while my test custom class didn't. So I thought they were getting all their features on level up, but alas, they weren't getting the archetype features still.

[Luna Fuerte]

Thanks for your response. Is this something I could contact the 3rd party to look into or is it out of their control?

Warlock patrons don't add spells to available list.

For example:
Create a warlock using the Character Wizard.
Choose the Archfey patron.
Switch to the Spells tab.
Note how the available 1st level list doesn't include Faerie Fire or Sleep.

This seems to be an issue for all patrons.

Warlocks created in the character wizard are offered the wrong choice of packs.

Should be: (a) a scholar’s pack or (b) a dungeoneer’s pack

Thanks for the report Dire Weasel, I'll add as many of these as I can to the next update, the rest I'll make sure to get in the next.

[claycub]

Wraith, for Playability, if you skip the wizard, past level 1 creation, shouldn't I be able to do regular 'drag/drop' of abilities/skills/spells like I did with FGC on my PC Sheet? I don't 'need' the wizard right?

(I'm trying to make sure, that while things are getting worked on in the Wizard, that my players can continue as normal with 'classic' methods of PC-Generation and upkeep) -Thanks for any response on this as you work very hard to update everything!

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, you can use drag and drop or the wizard for level up (or character creation). Both do the same thing.

[Dire Weasel]

Draconic Resilience should add +1 HP x level and AC should be 13 + Dex, but it does not parse when using CW.

Additionally, Dragon Ancestror should give the extra Draconic language too. Although it can be easily added manually.

Feats do not parse correctly. I have tried Alert for now (does not give +5 iniziative) you need to remove it and re-add it.

Thanks for the report. It does add the feature just like the drag and drop character creator, but it does not add any new functionality of choosing chain, blade or tome. I will add that to suggested new features, however.

Hi! New to Fantasy Grounds Unity so not sure if this problem is already known or not but,

When using custom classes for the Character Wizard:

- starting equipment displays "No Class Selected." under the inventory screen
- For the number of spells available, it shows 0

I've tried copying the word format from classes listed in the player's handbook, then modifying it but no success.
I've tried duplicating a class from the player's handbook (via drag & drop) still nothing.

I've modded the client.xml of other modules to hard-code the custom class into the module but, I know you can't mod the client.xml file since the player's handbook is a bought version

Is there a way to have the starting equipment & spell slots from a custom class display in the Character Wizard? Or is this simply not possible yet?

Currently you cannot select those for anything other than the official Wizards of the Coast 5E classes. I will be looking into adding that functionality for custom classes, however.

Seems like Paladin fighting styles are not showing up in the creation wizard.

[Melrik]

I have noticed that if you go over your spell count 0/3 and then delete both cantrip and 1st level spells that the spell count is off. if you switch screens it will correct itself.
i.e. wizard 0/3 cantrips at level 1. add 4 cantrips and then remove 1. it goes to 2/3 from 4/3. remove them all and it goes to -1/3. switch to any other screen and come back and it's 0/3

[Zacchaeus]

Seems like Paladin fighting styles are not showing up in the creation wizard.

There's no selectable options for Fighting styles - so you won't see them specifically in the Wizard. You will see them in the character's ability tab once the character has been saved. You can then choose your fighting style from there. Video three here shows how to set them up as a fighter - but much of the same will apply to the Paladin https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?55797-How-do-I-in-Unity&p=492112#post492112

For the second and third ones, no they won't appear automatically. None of the equipment items were created in SCAG so they don't exist as such - so those will need to be added manually I think. The talons won't appear either since all that it says is that you are proficient with talons and that they are an unarmed attack. Unarmed attack isn't defined anywhere as a weapon so again something that you would add manually to the actions tab once complete.

Ok thx for the info.
But still one thing on the second part, while i understand that you cannot add something that doesn't exist as an object, the 5gp are definetly in the game. I would expect them to be added automaticaly.

Hello,

I just bought the Ultimate licence for my gaming group. We're thrilled with the software in general, save for one problem. The party scout is a Tiefling and uses the bloodlines from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Which I did make sure to both buy the dlc and shared the volume. The check mark is green on my side and on hers the volume is loaded as well. When either of us go to the character creation wizard and try to make a Tiefling there are no Sub-Race options. With the other characters, Eladrin (DMG), 2 Dragonborn, and one Half-Elf it was seamless. So are we doing something wrong as we are new to the software or ..?

Thank you.
Miastra



Hi Miastra,
No, you're doing everything right. Currently there is a bug with the Tieflings, I just finished up adding a couple of features and some bug fixes, and this is part of what I am currently working on. It should be ready for the next Character Wizard update.

Thanks for the bug report!

That ended up being a bigger issue with how the books/modules were loaded. I've fixed it for classes but I have to fix it for races as well. As soon as testing is done for classes and that is pushed to live, I'll do this for races as well. Sorry about the delay.

I'm sure I didn't do that correctly for how I posted that but thanks for responding! No worries and glad it wasn't forgotten.

After 6 levels in my first class (Monk), I chose to multi-class into Rogue when I hit Level 7. It does not give me the choice of additional proficiency when leveling up (as specified in the PHB). And yes, I meet all the stat requirements from multi-classing into Rogue and from Monk. In the level-up wizard, you also have to hit the "Class" button at the top multiple times to display the option to select your two skills for Expertise. After you Save your character, the Expertise is not applied on the chosen skills. All of these are easily fixed in the character sheet afterwards, so while it's not a big deal, I am sure this is not intended behavior.

I attempted this process multiple times and even rolled up other dummy characters to try, all with the same result.

I attempted this process multiple times and even rolled up other dummy characters to try, all with the same result.

Wraith, I noticed the same problem with multiclassing other combos with the Character Wizard. Trying to multiclass into Bard for example, same problem - does not allow you to choose your additional Proficiency as specified in the PHB. I believe Ranger is the only other class that grants an additional Proficiency when multiclassing into. I have not specifically tried that combo, but I'm willing to bet the same problem occurs.

Good catch. It works if you do it upon creation but gets skipped in level up. Thanks! I'll get this fixed.

Summary: I made a Paladin Human Variant which can take a feat at 1st level: I took tough feat. When I create the character everything goes well: the software adds the additional 2HP as it should. But when I level up, the additional 2HP per level are not counted on the character sheet after I clicked the SAVE button. I searched the Wiki and can't find if that issue is known. So is it a bug or am I missing something? Thank you for your help.

Ruleset(s): DnD 5e

Extensions/Themes: No

Modules Loaded: No

Operating System / Language Setting: MacOsX High Sierra

Steps to Reproduce: as described above. Try to level up the character and see that the total HP do not include the additional 2HP for level 2 and over.

Nothing loaded.

When creating a cleric of twilight domain their bonus proficiencies of martial weapons and heavy armour didn't get added to Proficiencies tab.

[SnoodNoodles]

The character wizard doesnt seem to be picking up the wording inside of race traits. Like "You have proficiency in the Stealth skill." Rather it seems to using the trait name to do this. Though I can drag and drop the trait onto the character sheet and it then gives the bonus with a custom trait name. Otherwise if you give a custom trait name the character wizard doesnt pick it up at all other than putting it in the traits section when it should add the proficiency bonus. Dont know if this is a bug.

There should be a "Character Wizard" button in the top left of the character window. I'd recommend making sure that you only have one theme loaded in case they're interfering with each other and then try turning off your extensions - particularly the one called "5E Character Generator" as that seems most likely to be conflicting.

In the Character Wizard, any time you select "Resilient" as a Feat, the system does not further prompt you which stat to apply the +1 and grant Proficiency in saving throws. Easy enough to correct after the fact, but this should be addressed at some point.

I just picked up the Elemental Evil Player's Compendium and added it to my account. I noticed if you make a Deep Gnome character, it gives you the Common and Gnomish languages twice on creation. Small issue and easily fixed after the fact. I do not think any of the other new races in EE have the same problem.

This is because the languages are in the main race as well as in the subrace - so is an error in the module rather than the wizard. I'll take a note to fix that.

[Minimrmn]

Ran into a few issues tonight w/ the Character wizard while getting characters transferred over (finally upgraded to Unity!)

- Similar to the aforementioned Resilient feat, Piercer also does not prompt a +1 to Dex/Str
- Leveling up as a rogue does not prompt any additional expertise (still only allows for picking 2) and it only showed the thieves tools + skills from background & race as options for expertise, but none of the 4 skills selected from the rogue list. Also did not add Wis saving throw proficiency at level 15
- Adding the Scout subclass did not add proficiency and expertise with Nature and Survival
- Neither the Ranger, Fighter, nor Paladin were able to add Fighting Styles. Fighter was not able to add maneuvers.

Thanks! It looks amazing, just some hiccup spots

[Zacchaeus]

I don't know about the others but there are no options to pick fighting styles or manoeuvres. Those have always been manual.

And welcome to FG.

Thanks! So we can just drag/drop those from the library onto the character sheet?

[Zacchaeus]

No, the Fighting style and manoeuvres will be added to the abilities tab as any ability is. You then have to decide what fighting style your fighter wants and set that up and then if you also have manoeuvres you'll need to also pick those and set up those as well in the actions tab.

In Wild Beyond the Witchlight, I've noticed a couple issues. This is on Mac FGU, 5E ruleset.

The new harengon race should have a +2 and +1 or three +1 to ability scors, player selectable. There is a single +1 player-selectable option.

"When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy."

Also, there is no list of languages though it looks like there should be, only the list is unpopulated and expands to show... nothing selectable.

This race pane/tab is un- completable.

Regarding the new fairy race, it throws an exception fail to concatenate 'sFlySpeed'. It's unselectable effectively.

Sorry to bother twice in one day.

Hi, I'm building a custom class and have a couple of issues with the builder. Latest version of Unity live build. One problem is that no starting equipment shows up in the character builder.

The spell list that shows up in the wizard is a level 0 feature and shouldn't really show up, but I like it being there.

The ability scores and languages aren't anything to do with the Character Wizard but rather the wording of the abilities. I've fixed the language for the ability scores so that you get a pop up for the 2 + 1; however the alternatively +1 to any three hasn't been implemented in the Character Wizard as yet - the ruleset was only just updated the other week to account for the any 1 from three aspect. The problem is likely to be that there isn't a mechanic for an alternative ability score increase. By that I mean there's nothing in the ruleset that will allow either a +2/+1 choice or a 3x+1 choice. Hollis was going to look to adding that into the Wizard but I don't know how far along he is or whether it will ever happen.

As regards the languages WotC changed the way that this was worded in Witchlight (and in the forthcoming Fizban). I've reworded the ability in Witchlight so that it will now give you the correct choices for languages. The fixes should be in next Tuesday's updates; I'd issue a hotfix but since Witchlight has only just been released I'm awaiting any further bug reports so that I can fix everything in one go rather than piecemeal.

The error for the flying I can't do anything about - that's something Hollis will need to look at.

The Wizard doesn't cope with homebrewed stuff as yet so even if the wording is correct it probably won't get picked up.

Actually 5e bug reports would be more appropriate for the ability scores and languages bit. But since I caught it no need for any further reports.

I assume this also applies to Tasha's option of assigning your stats differently, correct? Just something that would have to be done post-creation.

[kmalsom]

Yeah, I was looking at the coding and I think it should work, but it's bugged. Parsing text is challenging. And I'm ok with that not working.

The specializations should work though, as it should be the same for official content. It's just not adding the specialization to the character sheet. If you level in the builder during creation it works and pulls everything in.

[Zacchaeus]

I assume this also applies to Tasha's option of assigning your stats differently, correct? Just something that would have to be done post-creation.

Yes. There's not really a way to have the Wizard (or anything else) over ride the ability scores given by a particular race.

I'm not sure it does. I don't think the Wizard is really equipped to handle homebrewed stuff at all. It looks for the wording found in official content and so if you stray from that then I don't think the Wizard will pick it up. So for specializations if you call the specialization choice ability for a fighter type character 'Martial Archetypes' then I think the Wizard will pick that up. But if you call it something else - it won't. Furthermore even if you do call the spec choice Martial Archetype and it isn't a fighter then I think it will ignore the Martial Archetype because it isn't a fighter. I don't know exactly how the Wizard picks up on stuff but I've seen so many people trying to get homebrewed stuff to work and in most cases it fails and the answer that's always given is that the Wizard just doesn't cope with home brewed stuff at the moment.

Fair enough. It is only missing recording the specialty on the character sheet for that to work. It works manually so it's ok, just would be nice to have the wizard.

Thanks for your help. :)

[9/25/2021 5:04:38 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard_racewindow.lu..."]:927: attempt to concatenate local 'sFlySpeed' (a nil value)

See post #585 above. The fixes should be in Tuesday's release - apart from the fly bug which I can't do anything about.

[TXCBoy36]

Not sure if this a reportable bug or not but I will explain. When creating a cleric, the PHB states that a cleric can pick a warhammer (if proficient) as a weapon from the starting equipment. I have looked and the only way for a cleric to become proficient with a warhammer (martial weapon) is if they select the Tempest or War Domain. However, if I create a 1st level Cleric and choose, for instance, a Life Domain and also select Warhammer as the weapon of choice, the Character Wizard gives me the proficiency.

Does the Character Wizard not have the ability to not provide that proficiency unless on of those 2 Domains is selected since the PHB states that the cleric is proficient with Simple Weapons? Is this a bug for the Character Wizard?

[Zacchaeus]

FG always assumes by default that you are proficient with any weapon that you choose to equip. It has never checked proficiency for weapons or armour - so it's up to the player to adjust that in their character sheet if they pick something that they're not proficient with. The Character Wizard won't make any sort of check on that either so it isn't a bug but something that you'd need to be aware of when creating your character.

[jsaye]

See post #585 above. The fixes should be in Tuesday's release - apart from the fly bug which I can't do anything about.

Much appreciated. :)

[TXCBoy36]

ok, that makes sense....thanks for clarifying....just wanted to make sure!

[ogreofnorth]

So I have been for the last year been finding alot of races in the Character wizard, the backgrounds don't actually add any skill proficiencies. Like I choose Gnome then rock gnome, and then any background and it doesn't add any. But if I do the same for elves, it does fine. But If I choose Dragonborn or firbolg etc. They dont add anything. I know the work around (to create the character then just click proficiency on the skill tab) but it kind of defeats the point if I have to look it up later to make sure I got the right skills. So I dont know what is in coding that prevents this from happening, but it doesn't provide an error, it just doesnt add anything.

[Zacchaeus]

I couldn't replicate this at first but I can if you select Race and then go straight to background. However if you pick Race > Class > Background then the correct skills populate. Whilst I'm sure that the skills should populate if you select background before selecting a class (and is therefore a bug) if you follow the order of Race > Class > Background then the skills will be correct.

Further testing it seems that selecting Race then Background only works for Elves or half-elves (or any other race that gets a skill proficiency). All others do not work. So it must be tied to the fact that backgrounds are looking for a proficiency list which already exists and then doesn't do anything if there isn't one. This might be tied to the way the Wizard prevents you from taking duplicate skills.

[superteddy57]

I tested this a bit today and noticed it does the calculations of skills if you go and choose a class and then reselect the background. It adds in the the correct skills. It is certainly a bit round about and certainly something to investigate further.

This is a known issue - see posts above.

I suspect that the Wizard is looking for a number rather than the nebulous "equal to your walking speed". I've reworded the ability to include a speed of 30ft which seems to fix the issue.

EDIT: The fix has now been pushed to live; so update and let me know if that fixes the issue.

Seems to have fixed it! Thanks for the quick response! I have a player who will be right pleased tomorrow!

It does - provided you pick the class before background. See posts above. It has been recorded for fixing.

I seem to have an issue with the Character Wizard and only have the PHB loaded. After creating a high-elf wizard with the Sage background, the character shows has having no cash, where it is supposed to have 10 gp from the Sage background? (v4.1.10 2021-10-05)

Thank you for the report. I will investigate the issue.

[Buttercow3525]

Hello i was told by Zacchaeus to post my bug here, the original conversation started in discord so i will move it onto here

I have a question regarding class starting items, so i have manually entered ALL of the races classes backgrounds etc for dnd 5e. but whenever I go into the character wizard creator and make my character and get to the inventory tab it brings up all of the starting equipment and I'm able to select what I want but it brings up an error. This effect happens to all of the player classes It also happens with the basic SRD ruleset classes as well. error code(https://gyazo.com/830ee1a14075770c9751fa071f8b486c)

also here is a video of the bug happening https://www.dropbox.com/s/6vx2rmbg3yypofw/2021-10-24%2008-48-33.mkv?dl=0

[superteddy57]

Since you entered in all the data by hand, any of the records that you created could be the culprit. Can you export everything from that campaign into a module to share with me to look over the records to replicate? It would help track down the culprit and remove the error popping up.

Hi peeps. Fizban issue.

I am getting an error thrown creating any new Dragonborn character. If I select a non-spell casting class like Monk or Rogue, if I click on the Spells tab, it throws an error. If I choose a spell caster, Ranger or Palidan for example, it does not.

Core rules, PHB, DMG, MM and Fizban are loaded.

[superteddy57]

Hi peeps. Fizban issue.

I am getting an error thrown creating any new Dragonborn character. If I select a non-spell casting class like Monk or Rogue, if I click on the Spells tab, it throws an error. If I choose a spell caster, Ranger or Palidan for example, it does not.

Core rules, PHB, DMG, MM and Fizban are loaded.

What is the error?

[BangsNaughtyBits]

Sorry, thought I included the screenshot on that.

[superteddy57]

I've tried to create character with the information provided, but unable to get the error to fire. Can you try and provide exact steps to replicate?

[BangsNaughtyBits]

I just updated FGU on Mac. Created fresh test campaign.

Clicked 5E Core rules button to load PHB, DMG and DMG Players, and MM modules. Manually added all three Fizban modules. No extensions or other content.

Opened Character window and launched the Wizard. Selected Gem Dragonborn. For all skills, languages, etc I click upper left option and if there are more proceed to the right here and in following options.

Left ability scores as unmodified standard array. That means +1 to strength per the racial option selected.

Selected Monk as Class. Filled options from upper left proceeding clockwise as before.

Selected upper left background, Acolyte, and filled options again from upper left and clockwise.

Inventory presents suggested equipment. Again, selected all options from upper left.

Next now takes you to the Ability Score tab. I click the Spells tab. Error occurs.

I can at this point change the class to a spell caster, say Ranger, click on the Spell tab and no error. If I then change to Rogue, it again produces the error.

I will have Discord open if you need more information or can reply here.

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, I can reproduce this. If you select a non spellcasting class it throws an error if you select spells at any point. It doesn't matter what the race is - any race will do. So it's not unique or relevant just to Fizban

[RichE]

New to FGU, but trying to use the character wizard to make basic lvl 1 characters. Only have basic rule sets loaded (and LMOP) I worked through each stage of the wizard and selected from the inventory options listed for several characters. Once done with all options I click save - all of the options seem to come through on the character sheet fine - but no inventory options are pulled across. I've tried with several characters, but there's never any items in the inventory tab even tough I've gone through each time on the wizard.

[superteddy57]

The character wizard is currently being looked over for a few reported bugs and I'm still getting up to speed on it's design. I appreciate your report and I have noticed this as well. It's on my list of things to investigate and iron out.

[MaxtorM123]

Quote is from Post #270 on this thread.

Hi, lartra
This problem is related to the issue above that DJShamrock reported, the training tag does not allow a choice beyond martial weapons in the official data, so the code does not trap for, or create a choice dialogue. I will be fixing the error from firing, but making a choice system (that supports all the possible training choices from weapons to skills to tools, etc.) there might be a bit further in the development cycle. Thank you for reporting this, however.

Hello,

I am wondering if this issue has been fixed that was reported with regards to the Character Wizard and custom races/subraces that have traits with the word "Training" in them. I have a Dwarf subrace that I created that has two traits with the word training.
Dwarven Armor Training - Proficiency in Light and Medium Armor
Dwarven Combat Training - Proficiency with the battleaxe, handaxe, light hammer, warhammer, and firearms.

When I try to select this subrace in the character wizard I get a similar error to what was reported previously:
[11/3/2021 2:08:59 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard.lua"]:545: attempt to index local 'sTrainingText' (a nil value)

I am using FGU latest version.

Thank you!

[Zacchaeus]

The character Wizard is currently undergoing some revision. It never really catered for homebrewed stuff, only official content. I'd wait for a wee while until the revised Wizard goes live to see if there's still an issue.

[superteddy57]

Zac is correct, it is currently under revision and thank you for the report. I will put this on my radar to see if it will throw an error.

[Drogo210]

For some strange reason Tiefling subrace (MToF) are not recognized with character wizard. However if you drop the race everything works fine.

[Zacchaeus]

For some strange reason Tiefling subrace (MToF) are not recognized with character wizard. However if you drop the race everything works fine.

I suspect that this is because the Wizard is looking at the PHB rather than Mordenkainen for the Tiefling race. The Tiefling in the PHB has no subraces. If you close the PHB before opening the Wizard the tiefling subraces correctly appear. That's still something that needs correcting in the Wizard though. It is being revised at the moment so it's possible that this has already been picked up and will be correct in the next version of the Wizard.

[MorgaGnomic]

Hello! I hope this is the right thread to post this.
I'm building a bunch of custom races for my homebrew, and have found I can't get the "Ability Score Increase" under race and subrace to stack.
For instance: I have a race that gets a +1 to con. The wording of the trait is "Your Constitution score increases by 1." I then have a subrace for that race that gets another +1 to con, and the wording is identical. I double checked trait names and body text for typos.
Everything from the race's ASI shows up correctly in the Character Wizard, but upon selecting the subrace with a +1 con, it ignores it.
Can the same ability not receive two increases - one from race, one from subrace?

Thank you!

Homebrew does generally not (currently) work with the character wizard. Test and build it to work with drag and drop and monitor this thread for when homebrew starts to become supported.

[Zacchaeus]

As LE says the Wizard doesn't like homebrew stuff much. But the next version will have a lot more support. You should be able to add a bonus to the same stat twice as you want; but test by drag and drop to see if it works as LE also says.

[TerraPrime]

Hello,

When trying to create a side option from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything we have been encountering some issues. In order to be able to create the class you need to allow access for the DM version of TCoE. That should then allow you to see the options for Warrior, Expert and Spellcaster. (Warrior and Expert seem to be working as intended)

It is not allowing options to grant spells to the caster or select the caster type (Mage, Healer, Prodigy) nor is it allowing the selection of spells. An error message then appears when you attempt to save the created character.

[Zacchaeus]

The sidekicks are not intended to be created by players and the Wizard will not recognise them. The DM should create the sidekicks and then share them with the players. The DM version of Tasha should not be shared with players.

[ZippityD]

Small bug report:

When creating a character with the wizard and choosing "Astral Elf" as the race, it does not appropriately grant the racial ability scores.

What happens: the "Select Ability Score" tab allows you to pick one ability score, which increases by one. Or, it has three options to each increase an ability score by one.

What should happen: there should be two "Select Ability Score" tabs as the Astral Elf has +2 to one ability score and +1 to another as per its description. The "Ability Score Increase" trait description correctly states "One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1. Alternatively three different ability scores of your choice increase by 1."

Source: UA


Edit: All traits are also missing for the Eladrin (DMG) and Eladrin elf subrace on the character wizard.



Thanks,
ZippityD

MOD: moved to Character Wizard Bug report thread.

[Zacchaeus]

Welcome to FGU.

The Character Wizard is undergoing a considerable revision and should be available in the next update. Such things as you mention above have been fixed.

[jmwalkerjr]

Hexblade character creator does not appear to offer all the abilities. Seems like just PHB Warlock abilities only.

[Zacchaeus]

Hexblade character creator does not appear to offer all the abilities. Seems like just PHB Warlock abilities only.

Can you expand on what you think is missing?; I'm seeing Hexblade alright. Do you have Xanathar's Guide open? Also note that the wizard is being substantially updated and should be coming out soon.

[BangsNaughtyBits]

While this may be a non issue later this week, I though I'd drop a Strixhaven character wizard issue. If you select either Owlin or Owlin-Varient it immediately throws a error that seems related to fly speed. Race remains unselected.

Can't wait to see the update.

[jmwalkerjr]

It does not seem to give you the martial weapon proficiency and some other stuff when hexblade is selected. It appears to only give standard warlock stuff.

As mentioned above a few times the Wizard is being extensively re-written. The release date for the new version isn't yet set in stone but it should be soon. Most, if not all, of the issues you are seeing have been addressed in the new version. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Make sure you are testing without extensions.

[Drogo210]

I forgot to say it was in levelling up. No extension on. Brand new campaign

[Moon Wizard]

Also, what steps did you follow to see that error? I don't see it come up when just opening the Character Wizard with the PHB loaded.

Thanks,
JPG

[Moon Wizard]

I just tried the Level Up button in some of the characters in my test campaign, and I didn't see the error either. I might need an export of the character, so I can import and see if I can recreate.

Also, can you double check that you do not have any rulesets in subfolders in your FG data folder? (in case you have been doing any extension/ruleset development, and were looking at these.)

Regards,
JPG

[Laerun]

This type of error happened to my previous FGU sessions using the character builder. It occurs upon level up usually. I had a different build and such, but the error looks very familiar or close to the same type of error log. I have not used the wizard since late October. Looking at Drogo's post this seems very close to what I have encountered from time to time, especially with the newer content beyond the PHB. I rarely had any issues with the earlier, or pre-Tasha's content. I was also never using test or beta builds.

Laerun

[Moon Wizard]

I'm still going to need examples; since it doesn't appear to be a general issue that applies to all characters.

@Drogo210, @lanbandit,

Thanks for the reports. We are in the middle of working on the character wizard; and we had updates that were supposed to be minor for this release.

I'm going to get with the developer working on this; and see if we can fix the current version, or accelerate the next set of changes if they address these issues too.

Regards,
JPG

[Tooting Dog]

I will jump in here, too, stating having difficulties 5e D&D. I tried on about three characters owned by my players and two that I made on my own. I can level-up if I hit the save button in the error window, but you can see the errors are wrong. Oh, and I turned off all extensions.

50349

[Moon Wizard]

We just pushed a hot fix that should address the level up error. Please run a new Check for Updates, and try again.

If you are still having an issue, please post an export of that character (XML file) by clicking edit button (brown slash) on Character Selection screen and choosing export button for that character.

[omgamer00]

New Leveling Issue following the update released / applied earlier today (12/16/2021). The "Level Up" function, following the new release, now produces an error preventing the "level up function from successfully completing / resaving the characters". The following error message is generated...[Error] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard.lua"]:849: attempt to index field 'class' (a nil value)...see attachment below for screenshot.

As additional supporting information, I have a set of characters created with the character wizard, controlled and run as characters by the DM. These characters were granted additional experience several times in the last couple of days and leveled up during that time multiple times. Today, following the new release being applied, when I attempt to "level up" these characters, the error message cited above is generated and displayed in the LOG and the Save Character option does not proceed. I further attempted to create a new character today, after encountering the error, and I found that I could not "level up" a brand new 1st level character freshly created. I have been using a "standard progression" through the character wizard without any "unique" characteristics (that I'm aware of anyway).

50388

[superteddy57]

As Moon Wizard requested, can you please post your character that is having issues? We will need it to assist in troubleshooting.

[Craftingdog]

When my players attempt to create characters they get errors and are unable to create them. They would go through the normal process of the character wizard but would be un able to complete them.

50389

Also when they try to level up it, it resets their stats to standard array instead of what they are using.

[Moon Wizard]

@Craftingdog,
Thanks; I was able to recreate and have @superteddy57 looking at it.

@0m0n, @omgamer00,
As @superteddy57 mentioned, can you post your character exports for those characters?
(Either player or GM can right click on character sheet and select the Export radial menu option.)

Regards,
JPG

[0m0n]

Character Export attached for issue with standard array and rogue expertise

[superteddy57]

Character Export attached for issue with standard array and rogue expertise

Did you select an expertise for the level one expertise? The reason I ask is I'm not seeing a skill with double proficiency on the character sheet.

[0m0n]

Did you select an expertise for the level one expertise? The reason I ask is I'm not seeing a skill with double proficiency on the character sheet.

I thought I had. I've done another character from scratch and made sure I selected an expertise at level one and still get the same issue with no expertise selectable when levelling up to 6

[superteddy57]

Yes, I was able to sort that issue, just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing two expertise skills with the finished level up. Thank you for the characters.

[Moon Wizard]

I went ahead and pushed the fixes that @superteddy57 provided for the Level Up ability score issue and the other issue from @0m0n. We're still working on the player side creation issue, but we have a lead.

Hi,

Nice Fix for the CW I like it. There are still few bugs that I do not know if you are aware of, then I am gonna report them.

1) Tasha Option seems hard coded now and Option one should be +2 +1 not +2 +2
2) Druid Class cannot select spells
3) When you level up with a spellcaster class (not wizard) you should be able to change one of previous spell but right now you can remove only spells you are adding in current levelling up.
4) It seems Spells are added as new powers, the automatic format of DC+ AB mod is kept but not the number of preparabile spells (very small bug)

Has anyone reported an issue with creating a new character and selecting one of the Agent backgrounds (Emerald Enclave, Faction, Harper, etc..)? It reports the below error when I attempt it. 50429

Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/manager_charwizard.lua"]:2985: wrong number of arguments to 'insert'

[TheLowRider]

My players can't add a character or do a level up in FGU since thursday (2021-12-16).

As a DM, I can without any error, but they all have this message as players:
50440

It then creates an empty character in the characters list (sometimes, I see that it seems to link to a portrait of an old character that I deleted...).

I did try to remove the theme extension I was using, but I still have the same problem without any extension. We're on the "Live" build, and everyone did an update.

Thanks for your help.

Try unloading the SRD data - this isn't needed since you have the Players Handbook open.

i don't know if its posted already here but i sometime get lvl 1 with 1 hp am i doing something wrong ?

[Zacchaeus]

I'm not sure whether the Wizard works with the Basic rules.

[Drogo210]

Character Wizard works but it does not pick that 'default' score ability. I do not understand if it is hard coded or it goes with some sort of xml code inside the module. I tend to think there is something inside the xml that redirect it to 'default' but I couldn't find any guide.

Same story for custom race they do not pick the ability score modifier.

[Zacchaeus]

It would seem that there is a major issue when players try to create a character using the Wizard. Multiple errors appear and the character sheet produced on save is blank. No special steps to reproduce other than try to make a character as a player when joined to the DM.

confirming the same issue here

[Zacchaeus]

If I create a character a level at a time (in other words I save at level 1 then go into level up etc) the hp calculation is correct. But if I create say a level 8 character the hit points are somewhat incorrect. A level 8 fighter I created has only 10 hit points. It seems that the average hp per level is the problem.

I was working on this prior to my vacation and will check why the player side is now getting issues.

Please keep reporting issues and I will add them to the list of things to resolve and get an update when I have returned.

I'm trying out the Unity version demo (considering an upgrade now that classic no longer works on my Mac) with only the 5e SRD enabled.
When using the character wizard I cannot select the default character racial options at all. I get only the option to select "Tasha Option 1" (+2 and +1) or "Tasha Option 2" (+1, +1, and +1).

[lmaofyou]

Hi, I'm a DM who recently just got the Ultimate license for the Unity version. One of my players who only has the demo version tried using the character wizard to create a character. We're only using the SRD and the basic rules modules for this. When he saved the character he got this error.

[12/20/2021 10:06:58 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard.lua"]:901: attempt to concatenate local 'identity'

When I tried making the character myself I got no such error.

[Zacchaeus]

As noted on DIscord this is a known issue.

[omgamer00]

Can anyone clarify...is there automation for Improved / Superior Critical...I'm having difficulty with making it work (I've been trying to move the Feature either into a Trait or into a combat effect using the reference nouns from the 5E Effect page)...wondering if this is a known condition...???

Appreciate any comments.

[Zacchaeus]

To increase the critical range go into the weapon meta data (the magnifying glass in the top right of the weapon line) in the actions tab of the player sheet and adjust the range there. There's no automated way to do this on a PC.

There are some issue at the moment with players not being able to create characters. A fix will be released in a few days.

Note, players are unable to use the Character Wizard. I'm pretty sure the previous drag and drop method is still working.

Thank you for reporting that. It was something I overlooked during updating the code. I will add it to my list.

[Axeking]

I can confirm there is a problem with starting HP for characters created using the wizard. Got my players creating some for an upcoming session, and it looks like the starting HP seems to be the lowest number possible for some classes (eg wizard, bard) or a little higher for other classes (eg fighters, rangers). In all cases, the constitution bonus is also not being applied. (wizard with +1 const bonus still has 1 hp...). This in addition to the save problems reported by others above...

[LordEntrails]

It sounds like fixes have now been deployed. Make sure you and your players update before trying again. See; https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?71781-Release-Updates-for-December-21st-2021&p=631859&viewfull=1#post631859

Hi.

Trying to create a Half-Drow Warlock with the Cloistered Scholar background, I run into a few issues.
FG is fully updated, no other extensions running, modules loaded: PHB, SCAG. Tasha's.

1) according to SCAG, the half elf gets +2 CHA, and two +1s to assign to taste, the option from Tasha's allows to move the +2 to another ability as well, which could be written as +2+1+1 assign to taste.The two options the Character Wizard offers me are either +2/+1 or +1/+1/+1 assign to taste. I you select +2+1, as soon as yoou choose the second bonus, the first one chosen gets the bonus removed again: say, I click on wisdom for a +2, and then go for strength for the plus one: as soon I click strength, the wisdom bonus reverts to +0, and if I go the other way around and first choose the plus one, it gets removed when I choose the +2 ability.
2) if I continue the character generation nonetheless, when I select the Cloistered Scholar, I do not get offered the correct skills:
"Skill: History, plus your choice of one from among Arcana, Nature, and Religion"
It does add the History skill, but the selection window is empty, showing no buttons, showing no number of open choices, but shows the red minus indicating the complete list should have been dropped down. Additionally, in the foot line it tells me that I still have to select a skill proficiency...

50538


In the screenshot I created a char with standard array arranged 12-14-13-8-10-15, selected CHA +2, then DEX +1, and proceeded into Cloistered Scholar.

[Xemit]

Is there a list of things the wizard doesn't handle yet?

I'm talking about things like the spell slots additions from ability modifiers not being filled in.

A list would make it MUCH easier to fix up the character after using the wizard without also basically doing the character a second time fully manually to find the problem(s).

[Zacchaeus]

Spell slot additions from ability modifiers?

Spell slots are not dependent on abilities only the caster level.

[Xemit]

Sorry, I guess I mean number of prepared spells.

For a first level wizard with Int 16 (3+), they should be allowed to prepare 4 spells, but it only shows two. That two comes from the spell slots which you can edit in prepare mode.

Where is the number of spells prepared show up then? How do the players keep to the limit?

[Xemit]

Re-reading the rules a couple of times, I think I got it now. The spell slots are how many 'ammo' slots of each spell level that you can cast. You may only cast from your list of prepared spells. The maximum number of spells you can prepare comes from wizard level plus the ability modifier.

That prepare number can be entered at the bottom of the Spells power group. That value is 0 after the wizard finishes, so you currently have to manually set its value.

Appears there is nothing to prevent a player from preparing more spells than their limit.

[Zacchaeus]

FG doesn't limit you to any number of prepared spells. You can prepare as many as you want. Clearly it is up to the players (and DM) to make sure they aren't preparing more than they should. The number in the spell power group is not used to limit the number of spells that can be prepared but if the number in the box is positive it will only show prepared spells in Combat mode. If it is zero then all spells including non prepared spells are shown in combat mode.

In the case of Wizards the Character Wizard allows the wizard to select three cantrips and 6 1st level spells (at 1st level) which is the number that the wizard knows. For other casters it limits the cantrips as per the spellcasting trait and the number of 1st level spells to the amount that could be prepared. A Cleric for example knows all 1st level spells at level one but no-one wants all 1st level spells on their character sheet, so the wizard limits the number. You can still add more via drag and drop once the character is saved of course.

I might have to go back to the drawing board. I thought the two options would cover every race, but Half-Elf seems to be the fringe case. Will have to think on what other races get a similar treatment when dealing with Tasha's options. The background skills issue has been found and resolved for the next update.

Great to hear thanks will do!

[Dhragyn]

During character creation the Class specialization disappears after the next level. All the abilities in the abilities section of the character sheet are still present. Will the character still continue to progress in their specialization or is this a bug being worked on?

[Moon Wizard]

Is this when you click the Level Up button after the character is created; or during the initial Character Wizard creation?
If during Level Up, only new changes will be tracked in the display.
If during initial creation, can you provide the exact steps that you are following (race, class, background, etc.)?

Thanks,

It's on the level up after the character is created. But if that's intended that's ok. Just a little confused because I wasn't seeing the specialization class in the class/level section of the character sheet. But did see the abilities in the abilities section. Was worried that my players weren't going to get the class specialization abilities while leveling.

[superteddy57]

On level up, it will display the specialization that was chosen by the character. I will double check the latest build that is ready for update and check to make sure.

Ruleset(s):
5e

Fresh campaign

Extensions/Themes:
D&D 5e Default theme with official language fonts

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Character Wizard

2. Use anything for Stats

3. Select 'Elf' race, Choose 'High Elf' for sub-race then select anything for for Racial Modifiers, Select anything for Languages, Choosing anything for the innate spell will cause the error described in step 6 below.

4. Finish the bare minimum to 'save' a character. Select Wizard class, any background.

5. Click Save when done.

6. Receive the following error:
[12/26/2021 7:30:57 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/charwizard.lua"]:1556: bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got nil)

The character will then save however it will not have a class and various things will be missing on the 'Abilities' tab.

Work-Around:

After some testing, I think this is related to the innate spell that is granted to High Elves during the creation process, if I don't choose a spell option for the innate spell, and continue on with the rest of the tabs in the the Character Wizard, the Character Wizard will give me a warning when I press the 'Save' button and ask if I'd like to save the character anyway.

If I choose to save the character, it will be created with a class and all other options from the character wizard, minus the Innate Spell.

A work around is to add the Innate spell after the character has been created.

[wjnewman]

After loading Fantasy Grounds Unity, I select “Load Campaign,” choose “Bill’s Setup game,” and click on “Start”. When I run the new character wizard I'm encountering the following bugs:

BUG NUMBER 1:
1. On the “Race” page I select “Vedalken”
2. Under “Racial Modifiers” I select “Option 1” (see “Screen Shot 2.png”).
3. Under “Choice Racial Mod +2” I choose intelligence to increase my Intelligence total from 15 to 17 (see “Screen Shot 3.png”).
4. Under “Choice Racial Mod +1” I choose Wisdom to increase my Wisdom from a total of 14 to 15.
a. Unfortunately, this incorrectly removes the +2 bonus I had to intelligence back to 15 from 17 (see “Screen Shot 4.png”).
b. Re-clicking on intelligence under “Choice Racial Mod +2” increases my intelligence back to 17 from 15, but also removes the +1 bonus I had on my Wisdom and so on, making it impossible to get both the +2 bonus to Intelligence and +1 bonus to Wisdom at the same time (see “Screen Shot 5.png”).

BUG NUMBER 2:
I’m also encountering a bug on the “Background” page.
1. I choose “Cloistered Scholar” for my background.
2. It then shows a box titled “Select Skill Proficiency” but there are no options to choose presented there.
3. I finish selecting my languages, but the “BKGD” icon on the top of the window continues to display a circled red exclamation point and a circled red X as, I’m guessing that I haven’t been able to choose a skill proficiency (see “Screen Shot 6.png”).

[superteddy57]

Tested with build ready for update and don't see these issues. The cloistered scholar issue was reported and appears fixed. Attempted to use the Option 1 and it displays the correct score for each choice. Will be available with the next update.

Great news, thank you. Can you tell me when FGU updates are deployed so I know when I can proceed with my character build?

Great, thanks again for the information! :)

Further of note on wjnewman's bug report #1 on post #709. Look at his "screen shot 5.png", and you will also notice that Intelligence is on that dialog twice. Should only be there once and Wisdom should be missing (it is).

Bug #1 being fixed in tomorrow's update fixes the primary issue, but the doubled selection could cause side issues maybe?

Just looked at the change log for this weeks updates, and the fix for the racial adjustment issue is not mentioned.

I was adding custom languages as well. However, when I add it, it only appears in the chat menu of languages. I can't get it to appear in the languages section of the character wizard for my players to select. I can create custom backgrounds for them to select in the character wizard. Why don my custom languages appear?

[BangsNaughtyBits]

Just an odd thing, I started a 5E test campaign with a metric ton of extensions and modules and opened the character wizard. First thing on the Stats tab I had it do a random roll. I then had it preroll, screen shots of both rolls and also the chat window results of the dice rolls are included.

The Charism stat rolled a nature 0. I had not opened any other tab or made any selection. I then rerolled as I said and got additional results but these also did not make sense compared to the chat window rolls. See the screen shots below.

I don't think this is actually the Wizard per se but Rob2e/Xelab's Instant Dice extension I got on a bundle binge. I forgot it was still enabled on this test campaign. Disabled it and it returned to normal behavior. I'll mention it to them on their Discord shortly but I thought it might be worth leaving a note here as a heads up to weirdness.

i don't know what you are talking about this is normal ether you are referring to another ruleset or you have modified your 5E ruleset

if you are talking about skill proficiencies they are still working as intended im talking about background/class/race proficiencies that are not skill related

There seems to be an issue that just started this morning for me, when i try to create a rogue or druid class in the wizard i get an error as soon as the rogue button is selected. this is my first time posting so im gonna try to add the compiled log report here.[1/5/2022 5:24:42 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "charwizard/scripts/manager_charwizard.lua"]:2280: attempt to index local 'sSpecialization' (a nil value)

Thank you for the report. I found the issue, will do further testing to see if my changes will make any other issue.

Testing - Elf (Wood) Fighter/Champion (repeatable on other combinations)

When leveling up and prompted to choose ASI or Feat, it doesn't generate the red alert making you choose which ability to increase or what feat to choose.
I know there is still active development going on, so this might be more of "haven't gotten to that yet" vs. a bug. Just wanted to report it anyway.

I did want to say that all of the other improvements which are preventing the duplication of choices and then invalidating previous wizard choices and making you go back, such as choosing a class and getting a proficiency, but then getting the same proficiency as a background (which you can't choose), which then prompts you to choose your class proficiency again are very helpful, and certainly a huge improvement.

[dbachen]

I also wanted to ask about the load order of the core books and supplements and what takes priority.

Do you hardcord which books to look at? Do you do it based on load order? Do you do in ABC order?

The tooltips over the buttons help you identify what the source is. What I noticed was that if I loaded up all of the books, when I went to choose a class, the majority of them were SCAG. Druid and Bard were PHB (because SCAG didn't have them) and Artificier was TCoE. Now, that's true only if the books are loaded when you start the campaign (load them, exit, restart campaign).. If the campaign is running and I unload SCAG and TCoE and then reload them, loading SCAG first and TCoE second, all of the classes in the wizard point to the TCoE version -- in this case as if the last loaded book takes precedence.

Specifically, I'm trying to understand the search order for the CW and if that functionality is different than the search order in other places. Having some coding discussions about search order and how the functions operate.

I'm brand new to Fantasy Grounds so someone please let me know if I'm just missing something, but I can't seem to select a subrace for my Tiefling in the character wizard although I can if I go through the "standard"(?) character sheet & select from the races in the loaded modules for the campaign (although I can't figure out how to use the alternate racial ability bonus options that the character wizard provides).

I am expanding to get the Stats tab to have the warning symbols when ASI is not chosen. Will be on my list.

Depends on the record type. In most cases the order when available would be Tasha's > PHB > SRD

It is down to the module that is loaded. I would check the race record for Tiefling and see if lists the subraces. If not, then the wizard would not provide a selection for them.

OK, the thing that had me thinking this was a bug (or possibly a not yet implemented bit) for the wizard was that the behavior was different from the "standard" character sheet process w/ (I believe) all the same modules loaded/activated.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if I just haven't found a checkbox or am misunderstanding the module activation procedure at this point though since I just started playing w/ FGU last night.

Definitely not the end of the world since the subrace I want is 100% flavor w/ no mechanics involved that I'm aware of.

The hotfix update I did yesterday should have addressed this issue. Can you please check that you are fully up to date and don't have an unpacked 5e ruleset?

[Drogo210]

Updated. I tried to remove 5E and 5E-data and update again. Same issue

Yes, sure

[TerraPrime]

Hello I am currently experiencing a few issues with the character creation wizard, I do have a number of modules and addons installed from creators such as GrimmPress, Theogeek's Improved Critical, NPC Maker 5E, Combat Groups Silent Ruin and Friend Zone by MeAndUnique.

When creating new characters there aren't any spell slots being added, of if they do get added they don't exceed the 2 initial slots. This is the case if I either create it through the character wizard or if I drag the class over, which was used as the work round before hand on the initial bug. Any help would be grately appreciated thank you. (I am up to date with the latestest update.) Also ASI options no longer show up if selected only feats, and characters cannot select higher level spells (e.g paladin level 5 cannot select level 2 spells)

[Moon Wizard]

Can you recreate the same issue without any of the extensions loaded?

[TerraPrime]

Hello I just turned off all extentions and the same thing is happening. I did recently purchase a GrimmPress bundle, would that have caused the issue potentially? After turning the extentions on and off the spell slots have started working properly with the drag method at least :)

Certain extensions could have conflicts with the CW, but I haven't previously heard about that one regarding spell slots.

What combination of race/class are you creating?

The current CW starts everything out at L1 and you have to go through the LVL Up process instead of jumping straight to a higher level, so in many cases, you won't have any slots at level 1, or your slots will be that few.

Currently, the CW is also prioritizing the core books, rather than any kind of homebrew or supplement, so I'm not sure that would have an impact.

What Grim Press product are you talking about? if it was a bundle, such as 5e Automatic Effects, there should be no impact at all as that is just extra data and doesn't have any impact on the base class structure which defines number of spell slots.
If you're talking about a supplement which is a custom class or specialization, then there is no guarantee that it will work with the character wizard. In those cases, you need to use the old method of dragging the class to the character sheet to add it, or to level up.

[TerraPrime]

I have been levelling up one level at a time, and primarily I have been testing out the paladin and wizard classes, taking them up to 5 (in single level increments).

So far the combination I have done is Dwarf, Human, Half-Elf and Aasimar. For the Paladin I have been using the Tasha's version, and I haven't currently tried to use any of the extra classes from the GrimmPress products. The old method seems to be working currently from what I can tell. The bundle that I have purchased was:

Campagn Guide: Zakahara - Adventures in the Land of Fate
Monster Manual Expanded III
Nerugal's Tome of Horrifying Adventures
Nybor's Tome of Enchantments
Playing Dead
Skullport: Shadow of Waterdeep
Soth's Accursed Journal
Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else Vol. 1
The Draconomicon
Xanathar's Secret Stash

The character wizard was buggy before hand but I don't know if there was a patch that fixed it over decemeber.

Do you have all those modules loaded at the same time in the campaign? It shouldn't matter in this case.

And when do you see the problem with the spell slots? At level 1 or after that?

What I would say is to try it with a brand new campaign and just PHB and Tasha's loaded and see if it works the way it should

I just created a L1 Dwarf Wizard (it used Tasha's for the wizard when hovered over the class) and it properly gave me 2 slots for 1st level. However, I can confirm there are problems at other levels.

I used the LVL UP functionality.

I should get:
L1 - 1st (2)
L2 - 1st (3) [ I stayed at 2 ]
L3 - 1st (4) 2nd (2) [ I stayed at 2 ]
L4 - 1st (4) 2nd (3) [ figured out the problem see below ]
L5 - 1st (4) 2nd (3) 3rd (2)

I think here's why -- I simply leveled up and hit commit. The spells tab didn't show me a ! to say I had to do anything and I wasn't picking any spells. If you don't click on the spells tab, then it doesn't calculate the spell slots correctly.
As soon as I clicked on the tab, it showed the proper spell slots at the top and THEN if I commit I get the right number of slots.

So that's a work around for now and hopefully with this information Moon, etc. can reproduce that. With no visual indicator you don't know to go there, and it doesn't load it if you don't.

So it's not calculating the spells slots if you don't interact with the spells tab when you commit?

That seems to be what I was able to reproduce from the original report. Always worth the double check.

Ok, will present an update with the next weekly update with a fix even if the spells selection is not previewed.

There is an issue with Tiefling subraces (MToF) they are not selectable, while other subraces, within the same module MToF, are....(Ex: Sea Elf)

UPDATE

College of Loro Skill Proficiency Bard. If have selected Half-Proficiency by Half Star (Jack of all Trades), the CW recognizes it as proficient in and will not give you any choice. Furthermore, it will add Proficiency (Full Start) in all Half/Start skills.

[Zacchaeus]

There is an issue with Tiefling subraces (MToF) they are not selectable, while other subraces, within the same module MToF, are....(Ex: Sea Elf)

They are selectable if only MToF is open. However if the PHB is also open then the issue occurs. The problem is likely due to the fact that MToF rewrote the Tiefling race altogether rather than just add subraces like it did for other races.
