Hello, I'd like to report that the spell "Protection from Evil and Good" in the Clockwork Magic feature (Clockwork Soul Sorcerer Subclass) is written as "Protection from Good and Evil", thus making it inaccessible (link can't be opened, the spell can't be dragged to character sheet).

Also happy new year everyone :)

[Zacchaeus]

It's working for me. Unless it's somewhere else other than in the official UA module (I can't remember where every subclass appears - so it would be useful to mention the name of the module).

[fatmoocow]

The module is Tasha's Cauldron to Everything - Players. Here's my screenshot:

Ok, I should really have remembered that since it was only a couple of monthhs ago. I'll get that fixed

[Zacchaeus]

Noted, thanks for reporting

[NuclearMonkey]

The sending stones as an Acquisitions Incorporated item contain the same description as in the DMG, which omits the following text unique to the AI version:

"Also at rank 1, you are given use of an Acquisitions Incorporated sending stone, an uncommon magic item that resembles a gemstone in a bold setting. It functions like a normal sending stone. except that it has no matching stone and allows communication with Head Office, specific secretarians you know, and the secretarian nearest your location. You must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence (Arcana) check to establish contact. Once the stone is successfully used. it can't be used again until the next dawn."

[Zacchaeus]

I'll alert the developer; thanks for the report.

Hello Zacchaeus, This is per your suggestion in another post I made regarding the errata in the 5e Player's Handbook. For clarity, I noticed the section on 'Heavily Obscured' wasn't totally correct per the errata), and it made me go through the rest of the errata list to see what else needed to be fixed.

So, I'm not sure what the best way to do this is, but I thought I would reference the errata here: https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/PH-Errata.pdf and then I'll just list the page numbers of the items that appear to me to need fixing. It's not perfect, since there are no page numbers in the Reference Manual in Fantasy Grounds (it's organized a bit differently), but it at least highlights the errata. Please let me know if the link doesn't work, as the rest won't make sense without it.

Again, page items (from errata) that need fixing:

p14, 24, 43, 54, 74, 75 (spells known from 1st level and higher), 98 (spells knows of 1st level and higher), 102 (Twinned spell),103, 108, 110 (Book of ancient secrets), 114 (both Your Spellbook and Spellbook), 118, 164 (Class Features), 165 (Alert and Crossbow Expert),182, 183 (both Suffocating and Vision and Light), 193, 203, 269, and 309.

If there were multiple items on the same page in the errata I specified which in parentheses. Also, I think some of them may just be how the errata was added (not word for word), so may not need changing, but some are definitely important clarifications that should be fixed in my opinion (like Prismatic Wall on 269).

Anyway, thanks in advance for your help!

This will be fixed in the next update...

Thanks for spotting all of this. Looks like some errata which was published about 4 years ago got missed out of the update process. Things were a little chaotic at that time so it slipped through the net. Fortunately I have a WotC supplied PDF which dates from 2018 and it contained all of the corrections that you pointed to. So I've updated the PHB and you should see a revised module in a few days time. If you see anything I've missed then do let me know here.

I'm running through the SKT module before playing and, in doing so, I've noticed that a lot of the random tables aren't working as I'd really expect them to.

As an example, "04.03.163 Xantharl's Keep" contains a link to "Table: Magic Item". When I roll on this table I get a link to "Magic Item Table C" which doesn't seem to exist. The automation fails and I cannot resolve it manually.



Also, in any of the Random Encounter Tables it quite often just links you to a monster stat page instead of generating the encounter.

At the moment it seems very much like "As you round the bend you find.....hmmn.....ok......let me look.....ok and let me roll here.....and then I move them there and, right, I'll need some tokens, now I can move them to the combat tracker"

Is this a common thing? Every other random table I've used in other modules has automated the whole process.

Magic Item Table C is in the Dungeon Master's Guide; so you'll need to own that module and have it open in the campaign in order for that roll to work properly. If you don't own that module you'll need to adjust the treasure parcel to add in your own items as needed.

For the random encounters you need to click the 'Generate' button at the bottom of the window which opens when you click the link. This will create the random encounter which acts like a normal encounter that can be added as normal to the Combat Tracker. You will need to drag the NPCs from the CT onto a map if you are using a map for the encounter (many of the random encounters don't have specific maps - but see here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?34534-Storm-King-s-Thunder-Maps) for some more SKT maps)

For more information on treasure parcels and random encounters as well as some other stuff about how to run the module and how it is organised read the 'Conversion Notes' section in the refrence manual or story entry.

[Rylan Storm]

Thanks Zacchaeus.

Is referring to the DMG a common thing in the WotC modules? I own the DMG in hardback form and I can manage if it comes up once or twice. I'd have to reconsider if it happens a lot

[Zacchaeus]

It depends on the module. It does come up fairly frequently in SKT but seldom in others.

[chlmz]

Hi. I do not know if my thread from yesterday was deleted, or I simply did not post it right.


Since yesterday I have been trying to create a Warlock (hexblade), but the Features, expanded spells, and other abilities are not appearing in the character sheet or being accessible. cannot get the shield spell for example that would be available for the hexblade.
tried with other warlock specialization and the same happened.
I assume that it is a bug in the system.

hope we can solve this

thanks

FGU Version: 4.0.6 ULTIMATE (2020-12-23)
Product: Pipyap's Guide to all of the Nine Hells
System: D&D 5E
Detailed Description: When playing through the adventures contained in this module, there are two links to the stat sheet for Grazulkul the bone devil in "Reunited and it feels so good". One link is before the players are transported to the prime material plane and the second is right afterwards. Both links to Grazulkul lead to a "<<New Personality>>" NPC stat sheet with all 10s for stats. This was probably a placeholder that the creator just forgot to fill in.

No, it's because the creator had Spine Devil in the link instead of Bone Devil. I'll get that fixed.

[joefour]

Hi, in the LMoP module, there are several places in the Story pages where there's a link to "Rulebook: Cover" that just goes to the Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes cover page. When this happens there's no 'back' navigation button available. The places I've seen this so far are in Cragmaw: General Features, 1. Cave Mouth, 2. Goblin Blind.

When I unloaded the MToF module it worked as intended (showed the rulebook page that it should show).

[Zacchaeus]

Welcome to FG.

I’m not sure I can do anything about that. The link is pointing to a reference page with the name cover. It will pop up the first such page that it comes to and that will depend on which modules you have open. It should of course open the page from the PHB or from the basic rules. I’ll have a look and see if I can maybe change the name of the ref page, but I suspect there are a few such links which might not hit the right place and there are a lot of modules now with likely similar page names.

[joefour]

Thanks for getting back so quickly! I suspect there's really not a great answer to this as you point out because of the redundant use of page names. However the 'back' functionality would be great, even when it's working as intended, because you have to start over (so to speak) if you do click on a reference link such as the one I mentioned (cover).

When you click the link it should pop out the page linked to in a separate window. Are you not seeing that? (This is in Unity - Classic may be different).

[joefour]

I think the issue here, somehow, was the way I got to the link. First I clicked on images/maps. I opened the Sword Coast map. Then I clicked on the link for Goblin Ambush. Clicking forward through the adventure from here, when I got to Cragmaw: General Features then clicked Cover, the Cover page opened and the previous window was gone. If I click the 'back' button I get Making an Attack. I got the same result clicking on the pin for Cragmaw Castle.

Not a huge deal but figured it was worth reporting.

(Oh and yes - in Unity)

[Zacchaeus]

Ah, right. Yes. Opening a pinned link will just open the page that it is linked to (rather than opening the reference manual as a whole) and if you click links in that page then it will replace the existing page.

[Atreides Ghola]

Descent into Avernus
In the Path of Devils (Chapter 3, Avernus) Reference Manual entry for Arkhan's Tower, there are three encounters: Guards, Reception Committee, and Additional Defenders.
Both the Guards encounter and the Reception Committee encounter open the same encounter (Guards, with 50 skeletons, 30 zombies, and Obatala).
The Reception Committee encounter should be Krull and his 4 Ghouls.

EDIT looks like BB code for spoilers doesn't work?

[Zacchaeus]

Thanks; I'll add that to my list. I don't see an option for spoiler tags in the tag list - so I assume that's not supported.

[spoonhead]

I'll post again, seeing as this still isn't fixed since October when first reported.

Can you fix ALL the player maps for the Kobold Press module Empire of the Ghouls (5e). For some reason, you downsized all the maps in an FG update (20 October 2020) so that they are worse than useless as player maps. I also submitted all the LoS information in September, but again as this wasn't included in the file, my campaign was also effectively ruined. Luckily I had a backup of the original vault file, and I'm able to copy back the old version to continue my game after every update.

You can clearly see the effect of the downsizing of the maps has had, as I created LoS info on the original maps. Any chance that this can be sorted please?

42802

I also know that another user has actually bought the VTT maps from Kobold direct so that he can also play the game in FGU.

[Zacchaeus]

As far as I know this is still being worked on by the developer. Sorry I have no further information or timescale for you, but I'll contact the developer again and see what is going on.

Hi Zaccheus and Devs,

Currently, when you add the spellcaster sidekick class (either by drag and drop or character wizard) it is treated as full caster instead of half caster. As far as I know, this is controlled by whether the Spellcasting feature appears in the 1st or 2nd level, but I find that the Artificer is correctly identified as a half caster although the class gains Spellcasting in the 1st level. Is it possible for the spellcaster sidekick to get the same treatment?

That would require a change of code in the ruleset - which Moon Wizard did to accommodate the artificer. For Sidekicks you can change the caster type as described in this video https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?63715-Videos-for-Tasha&p=557113#post557113

Minor typos. I was doing some NPC parsing and noticed two things for the PH, DMG, MM, XGtE, MToF:

1) For monsters only the first word of Size type, alignment are capitalized, ie Large beast , unaligned. However for all Traps and Hazards the type is capitalized, ie Large Trap , unaligned. To be consistant you ought to capitalize those FG only npcs the same as the WotC ones (though I would understand why you wouldn't bother). This is a data / parser issue.

2) Your comma between type and alignment for *all* npcs has a space before it, ie "Large Trap , unaligned" and "Medium humanoid (quaggoth) , chaotic neutral" should be "Large Trap, unaligned" and Medium humanoid (quaggoth), chaotic neutral". This is a programming issue.

[Griogre]

Hoard of the Dragon Queen -> Bullywug -> Other tab the first paragraph is split up into 3 paragraphs, ie



Life as a bullywug is nasty, brutish, and wet. These frog-headed amphibious humanoids must stay constantly moist, dwelling in rainy forests, marshes, and damp caves. Always hungry and thoroughly evil, bullywugs overwhelm opponents with superior numbers when

they can, but they flee from serious threats to search for

easier prey.


should be just one paragraph.

[Griogre]

Oh, almost forgot:
Hoard of the Dragon Queen -> Mere Lizard -> Other tab. The first line: "h;Giant Lizard" was probably supposed to be a header.

You are quite right I am disinclined to change that in every module ever. I'll try to remember going forward though.

Dungeons & Dragons vs Rick & Morty problems
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?65647-D-amp-D-vs-Rick-amp-Morty-has-unfinished-map-elements&p=575078

I just bought the module on Steam and put a test player on the dungeon map to see how it was. It's completely unfinished.
43367

Only a fraction of the doors are placed on the map and absolutely no walls are on the map whatsoever. My test player can see the entire dungeon.

Also I don't know if this is only on my end, but almost every page of The Lost Dungeon of Rickedness resource manual / map reference has a number of messed up characters somewhere in the text. If this is from the module itself then it looks like whoever converted this content didn't proofread it at all, because this problem is everywhere.
43372

Probably important to know: the only thing that I had messed with before posting was beginning the legwork of uncensoring some text. In this second screenshot, I had actually already removed some of the text glitches, so you're not seeing all of them. There were a fair number of problems with the text that gets shown to players before I removed it, but I stopped because it was obvious that I would be spending ALOT more time trying to fix this. It made more sense to show off that something is wrong before wasting much more my time.

This module is just not playable out of the box.

Sorry, realised that was not as clear as I thought - the "Beholder Complete" table refers to "[Body and Skin]" but the actual table that it should be rolling on is called "Beholder Body and Skin".

SUPPORT-9458 Off-Hand Dagger damage type is “unspecified”

The player attacked a NPC with immunity to piercing. The chat showed "damage type: unspecified", and the NPC took damage. I checked for typos, but didn't see any. When they selected "1" or "2" for the hand, the damage type was correct, and the NPC took no damage.

Caveat: I'm going from memory that it said "damage type: unspecified". But when the primary or two-handed was selected, it said "damage type: piercing", and that worked as expected.

Version? Whatever was updated when we played Jan 29, 2021.

BTW ... Do you prefer bugs get posted here first before going straight to the bug report tool?

This thread is for bug reports that are specific to 5e modules (adventures, rulebooks, reference guides etc). The bug you are talking about is a ruleset error and I'm fairly sure that either it has been fixed or it is on a list to be fixed. Bugs such as you mention should be posted here if you are using Unity https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?107-The-House-of-Healing-Unity or here if using Classic https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?41-The-House-of-Healing-Classic

[Moon Wizard]

The fix is coming for the untyped, off-hand damage issue. It's part of a much larger set of ruleset updates currently scheduled for mid-to-late February.

I love the Kobold Press products, but Deep Magic's implementation in FGU is very disappointing - seems that every session I find a new issue. I've sent emails on each to Kobold Press, but no action has been taken (some I sent shortly after Deep Magic was released), so I figured it wouldn't hurt to start a thread here to track them. Here's what I've found so far (some minor, some some with workarounds, some with no workarounds):

• In the Deep Magic Fantasy Grounds module, Treasure Chasm is listed as a cantrip, while in the Deep Magic book, Treasure Chasm is a 2nd level spell.
• In the Deep Magic Fantasy Grounds module, Alter Arrow’s Fortune only has text and no effect.
• Uncanny Avoidance should have an effect of: “Uncanny Avoidance; (C); GRANTDISATK; [SINGLES]”
• Outflanking Boon should have an effect of “GRANTADVATK; (C)”
• Lovesick should have an effect of “Lovesick; (C)”
• Laugh in the Face of Fear is “Laugh in the Face Fear” in Fantasy Grounds.
• Desiccating Breath is spelled “Dessicating Breath” in Fantasy Grounds.
• Wind of the Hereafter is spelled “Wind of the Hearafter” in Fantasy Grounds and the description stars with a spurious “a tomb) “.
• I noticed that on some levels of some classes, features are being added which do not belong to that class / archetype. I recreated this with the White Necromancer arcane tradition of Wizard as follows (with nothing loaded in FGU other than the Player’s Handbook and Deep Magic):

2nd level:
White Necromancy – correct
Necromancy Savant – correct
Lore of Life and Death – correct
Rebuke Death - correct
6th level:
White Necromancy – correct
Terrible Power – incorrect (from Doomsayer)
Communion at the Crossroads – incorrect (from Master of Fiends)
10th level:
Life Bond – correct
Powerful Echo – incorrect (from Void Caster)
14th level:
Protect Life – correct


Moderator: moved to 5e bug reports

[Zacchaeus]

The effects won’t happen unless Moon Wizard hard coded them into the ruleset since the parser won’t pick up on the examples above.

I’ll see the developer gets to know about the other stuff.

Nothing. It's still there. Make sure that you are using the players module and also check that you don't have an old UA module in your modules folder. If so delete it.

Things that I have noticed in the 5e DMG which became apparent when I was generating Magic Items for Sale from 1.10.01 Buying and Selling Magic Items entry in Ghosts of Saltmarsh:


Magic Item Table A, the second item (51-60) in the list is a link to the Spell Scroll (cantrip) table rather than the reference to the table
Magic Item Table B, the ninth and tenth items (55-59) and (60-64) in the list are links to the Spell Scroll (2nd Level) and Spell Scroll (3rd Level) tables rather than references to the table
Magic Item Table C, the twelfth item (68-72) in the list is a link to the Spell Scroll (5th Level) table rather than a reference to the table
Magic Item Table E, the fourth item (71-85) in the list is a link to the Spell Scroll (9th Level) table rather than a reference to the table


This results in "Spell Scroll (9th Level)" being output in the Story item rather than a roll on the table for Magic Item Table E for instance.

[Grimacus]

I think this has been reported earlier but didn't find it anymore. Anyways problem persist so I report it here again.

In Dragon Heist module, Waterdeep Map scans are misaligned and stripes of map are missing. It Wouldn't be a huge problem, but some of the key areas of adventure are quite near the missing stripe (ie. Yawning Portal). To stich the map togheter there should be bit of overlap on the edges of scans, instead of missing stripes. I will attach examples here.

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, that map presented a lot of problems because of its size. Its very difficult to gauge where you are cropping a map and extremely difficult to ensure there is any kind of overlap as well as making sure that the maps are all the same size. Also of course Unity didn't exist when it was produced so there was no possibility of merging the map up in Classic. I did consider at the time including a complete map but after various experiments I gave up since the resolution was too low and all the detail got lost; so it was pointless. I'll have a look when I get time to see if there is anything further I can do. And you are the oonly person to have noticed so far :)

[Griogre]

Tome of Beasts, Bagienik, Other Tab, Unpredictable Moods paragraph has 3 "\r"s that should probably be replaced with line feeds or spaces. There is 1 "\r" in the next Acid Oils paragraph as well.

[Griogre]

Tome of Beasts, Clockwork Beetle Swarm.

Trait called "Bite" has "null Condition Resistances charmed, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, prone, restained, stunned". The trait was probably supposed to be called "Condition Immunities" and list the conditions.

[Griogre]

Creature Codex, Dark Eye

Traits, Gaze of Shadows; "hen a creature..." should be "When a creature..."

Actions, Multiattack; "he dark eye..." s/b "The dark eye..."

This would be awesome to get full scan of the map. Unity is performing really nicely and players behind bad connections and very mediocre hardware can handle full map with 6 parts combined easily.

Hello, I'm reporting some bug in fantasy grounds unity in steam discussion, and someone suggested me to post here. (hope i went to right place).

anyways, this is what i wrote in steam :

I know there is a feature that we write some syntax in NPC action to make it click-able from combat tracker.
The problem is somehow my FG(core) and FG(unity) auto formating the text in combat tracker, thus make the text is un-clickable. (It replace all uppercase with lowercase)

E.g :
I write : Bite [M] [ATK: +5] [DMG: 1d8+3]
it shows : Bite [m] [atk: +5] [dmg: 1d8+3]

I write : bite [M] [Attack:+3]
it shows : Bite [m] [attack:+3]

it's a bug? or somehow my windows settings auto-formatting the text?

44222
44223

[superteddy57]

FG expects a certain syntax when inputting automation for attacks. Here is an example of an attack from a pre-made NPC.

44225

The window in the right is the proper way to setup an attack with the name of the attack in the title and "Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2) slashing damage." in the body.

Ex
Melee/Ranged Weapon/Spell Attack: +-# to hit, reach # ft., one target. Hit: # (#d# +- #) <type of damage> damage.

The method you elected would be great to add a impromptu attack directly to the NPC after hitting enter on the last line of the last attack in the CT. You can input the first Bite attack onto that line to roll. I would suggest using the first method of adding attacks to custom NPCs. You can get more information here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGU/pages/721028/5E+NPCs+and+Encounters

Can you help me by showing what you write on NPC template page, especially on NPC action?
because my problem is when I write proper syntax on NPC action, it changes the syntax once I dragged the NPC to combat tracker.

44226

[superteddy57]

It will change the attack line once it gets put on the combat tracker to this format:

Bite [M] [ATK: +5] [DMG: 1d8+3]

If you setup the attack on the NPC record with this format:

Bite
Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage.

You can also see this format with pre-made NPCs. Also the link I provided can assist as well.

[Zacchaeus]

You are trying to add effects to the NPC rather than the wording which FG expects. See here for more information on the text strings that are required https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996641934/5E+NPCs+and+Encounters#Weapon-Attacks

So in your case you want - Bite attack. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to Hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d6 +2) slashing damage.

[vein]

It will change the attack line once it gets put on the combat tracker to this format:

Bite [M] [ATK: +5] [DMG: 1d8+3]

You can also see this format with pre-made NPCs. Also the link I provided can assist as well.

Thank you, problem solved.
so I misunderstood the function, since the click-able function are located in same line as the title, I tried to input the syntax on title. But I was wrong.

The Ultramodern 5e Redux, Neurospasta, Apex, and Amethyst have some errors. These are all from Dias Ex Machina and are 5e modules.

1- Backgrounds, Races, Feats, Classes are all caps in all of them except Amethyst (which has correct capitalization), while spells are all caps in Amethyst and correct in the rest.
2- Ladders are missing. They are kind of a background which give some stat bonuses and stuff, but also have a benefit you can choose when you have an ability score raise or feat.
3- Apostrophes in Unity are the little blank boxes all over the place.
4- NeuroSpasta is spelled NeiroSpasta in the Backgrounds category.

Thank You.

1. We will adjust capitalization in a future update.

Thank you! I still don't see Ladders with the specialization, but as I read through them in the book, they all seem to be just simple changes to the sheet - like using Wisdom for a skill instead of Intelligence and so forth. Easy enough to do. Thank you for looking at this!

[rpranger]

Sprite's stats differ between PHB version and Monster Manual version. In the PHB version, it still has the 2014 text of the Sprite having disadvantage at stealth when flying. Monster Manual version is the correct one, since the PHB errata of 2015 states:
"Creature Statistics: If in doubt, the Monster Manual version of a creature’s stat block is authoritative."

[Zacchaeus]

Well spotted. I'll add that to my list.

[knorbet77]

In the LMoP reference manual, if I have Mordenkainens Tome of Foes loaded, then clicking on the link highlighted in the attached image 44362 takes me to the "Mordenkainens Cover"; not the PHB entry for cover as expected. I have noticed this anomaly in multiple places - is this the correct location to report it?

[Zacchaeus]

Yes, it's the correct location but I can't really do much about it. FG will look for the first available instance of a page called cover in whatever modules you have open. And in this case if you have multiple modules open it may not find the correct one.

[thebuda]

Playing through Mad Mage, and tonight hit a few problems on level-9. There are walls missing around rooms 40 and 31. More importantly, the description of Entry Hall (room 1) is messed up. The DM and Player's battle maps have entries that include the sidebar text for "Meeting the Headmaster", but not the actual description of the room from the adventure text. The Entry Hall listed in the Reference Library is incorrectly merged from chapter 16. So the details from 16.01 are also missing.

[Zacchaeus]

The description for the entry hall is correct (it's a two line description). I added the Sidebar there since it seemed logical to put it there. The description of the next three parts (of the entry hall) are in the next three story entries at 1a, 1b and 1c. All of those are pinned on the players map. The DM map only pins the main 'Room'. The whole of DotMM was littered with this kind of thing where set of 'rooms' would have an umbrella description marked as say 1 and then have sub rooms marked as 1a, 1b, 1c etc.

I'll get the missing occluders and the reference manual sorted; thanks for reporting those.

Use the Story Template to generate the beholder description rather than rolling on the table. Not sure what your other image is about but I assume it should be attached to another post?

[EDIT] Been fixed!

[Zacchaeus]

So then, as far as we're all concerned that table is okay? :confused:

Well, there's not a huge amount I can do with it. Not sure what you are expecting. I could make a story template but since there's already one for the complete beholder I'm disinclined too add one for just the eyes.

[Minty23185Fresh]

Well, there's not a huge amount I can do with it. Not sure what you are expecting.
I’m not trying to be argumentative. Nor I’m I trying to be obtuse. I guess I just am (obtuse).

I don’t understand what the function of the table is supposed be. I get to roll a 1d1. And so the result will be a....... 1. Okay.
Given the results of my roll, what am I supposed to do with the information in the column on the right? I assume, though it’s not specifically stated, that I am supposed to roll on each of the four sub-tables. I looked at the information above in the table description, on the screen shot, and the text there actually refutes my supposition. It reads that I am supposed to roll on this table.

So, in my mind the die roll is superfluous. And without that item to force the four sub tables into one entry, one can separate them into rows. Plus a minor correction of the table description and you have:
44554
Now true, I admit, it is not a rollable table, but is this particular table really meant to be? Isn't is just a table "organizer"?

Zacchaeus, this is really just a suggestion, I guess. The way the table is now seems confusing to me. So confusing (to me) that I had to work through this, writing it down, just to understand what information was being imparted. Maybe what I've done doesn't make sense to you, and you want to leave it the way it is. In which case, I'll just shut up now. Thanks for listening.

[LordEntrails]

IT seems to me the table is not intended to be used outside of the story template. Maybe updating the table descriptions with that info would solve any such confusion?

[Zacchaeus]

I agree that the table isn't very useful since it just outputs strings to chat. It's there as an optional thing really so that DMs can - if they want to - use it if they don't want to use the template. If I remember correctly the Story Template were just being developed whilst I was converting the module so the tables were written before story templates were in the ruleset. It was only after the module was finished that the templates were included in the ruleset and I went back into the module and added those in (which necessitated writing new tables). I just left the original tables in the module. I could just remove them but I doubt anyone will really use them and you are the only person to have mentioned them since the module was released 5 years ago. The table is just a simple table which allows for a single roll to generate all the variations for a beholder eye rather than having to roll on four different ones. It could probably be improved by outputting to a story entry rather than chat.

That table isn't used by the story template.

Not sure if this fits the term “logical”, but not everyone owns every module, every book or item pumped out by WotC. I’m sure WotC has allowed the items you mention to be shared with the public outside of Sword Coast... True it is a duplication of content, for some, but not everyone. (I hope I’ve expressed this well.)

I don't mind an author having a category on its own. But if he does, name it accordingly. If you use a more general name, it would be nice if it fitted in schemes others are already using. It's but a small thing, no worries if one doesn't. Zacchaeus has probably chosen the naming convention for the WOTC and FG stuff. That seemed to be internally inconsisten, even within a book.

Hello, there is a line of text missing in Strongholds and Followers:
Under "Strongholds by Class" and the "Wizard's Library" the third item in the Demesne Effects only says "Once per day, the wizard"

[Ibhuk]

A few typos. So in the Eberron RFTLW reference manual, it sill lists prosthetic limbs as requiring attunement. The corresponding item appears to have been fixed, just not the description in the reference manual. Similarly, though I'm not sure there' official errata for the book yet, the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount version of prosthetic limb still requires attunement. For the Divine Contention adventure, it has a creature with a CR "o". The TYP Hidden Shrine module also has creature with a CR "1/1".

Not a real bug:

D&D Sword Coast Adventure's Guide is on it's own in the module group Campaign Guide. The stripped version for the Players is in Core Rules with some other resources.
FG Battle Maps is in Maps, and D&D Dungeon Mater's Guide - Maps is in Map Pack

Is there a logic in this?

Not really. Different developers with different ideas of how to categorise things I suppose. I think it's logical to split SCAG into a campaign guide and core rules although I would have put the players bit into Supplement. I can change the DMG to Maps if it makes you happier :)

[LordEntrails]

Such an option has never existed in FG. I think there is/used to be an extension that changed that behavior, but not sure which one it might have been.

[LordQ96]

I apologize .. I must have gotten the Current HP ext before we leveled up when i first got FGU.. you should make that an option lol

[thebuda]

I noticed if I have Xanathar's and Xanathar's-Player's loaded, all the player info is doubled. e.g. Looking at Classes, Warlock-Xanathar's is listed twice, and both items are identical. So I have learned I don't need to load the Players version.
However, Tasha's Player info isn't duplicated, so I need to load both. It would be nice if this was consistent. i.e. I should load everything or I don't need Player modules, because the info is already in the main module.

Yes, following on from Xanathhar I made a conscious decision not to include the player specific information in the DM versions of modules going forward. The information is still in the DMs versions but only in refrence manual format. The reason being to avoid too much duplication. I would go back and remove it from Xanathar but then that would break all characters which have used the DMs version in their creation. As a DM of course you only need the DM module open - you don't need the players versions open at all; and the players of course will only see the players version. If, as DM, you are creating characters you only need the players versions open. So you can cut down on dupliction quite a bit by not opening every module. The new Character Wizard helps with this as well since it will only show one class no matter how many modules you have open.

Hi all

I have already post this, but it is still there.
When I create or level up a character nothing of the subclass is appearing. I mean not even their abilities (from the subclass) or expanded spell list, etc. this I saw happening to my warlock, but I tried with other classes and it is the same.
My party friends say they do not have that problem with there FGU. could this be a problem with my FGU, is that possible? I have tried 3 different computers (Mac, windows and linux) for all of them the same problem. I am beginning to think it is me. Could I be doing something wrong?

Whether you will see archetypes or indeed any other options will depend on whether you have any modules open when you create or level up a character. So the first question is what module do you have open when you do this.

I have all core books including xanathars, Tashas, mordekains, etc, and have all the modules loaded. the warlock hex blade was the one I tested first. no expanded spell list appears. so I can't get those in that list that would normally not be available for warlock.

Creating a character with -1 DEX modifier and choosing heavy armor, the DEX modifier is ignored. If I remove the armor, the -1 penalty is accounted for. The COMBAT CALC screen shows None for Dex modifier, and the only options are Full, Max 2, Max 3, and None. Seems like there should be a Max 0 option so heavy armor wearers still suffer applicable DEX penalties.

Long rest.
Rounding error for recovery of HD that characters can spend on short rests.
Long rest returns half of your HD rounded down, the correct value should be rounded up.
This means it now (incorrectly) takes 3 long rests to be at full number of HD for characters with an uneven number of HD.

[Moon Wizard]

Ongoing damage effects only apply at beginning of rounds; so there is no current way to change this.

For long rest, it does not specify that you round up in the Long Rest description; only that the minimum is 1. By default, the PHB tells us to round down unless otherwise stated.
Can you point to the rules that you are referring to that would round up on long rests? (I couldn't find any.)

Where are you seeing this? the general rule - unless it specifically excepts it - is that you round down (Page 7 of the PHB). Hit dice are recovered at the rate of half your total with a minimum of 1. So if you have 5 hit dice you'd recover 2 during each long rest. There's no exception in the text which would mean that the number is rounded up.

I found a bug in the Venom Troll NPC from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. Its bite attack is described as follows: "Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage plus 4 (1d8) poison damage, and the creature is poisoned until the start of the troll's next turn." Everything works except for the duration of the poison effect. As written, the effect doesn't expire. I found that changing the last part of the text to "...and the creature is poisoned for 1 round" correctly applies the duration.

Welcome to FG.

Yes, the wording 'until the start of the creatures next turn' doesn't get picked up by FG so the expiry will need to be handled manually in this case. Changing it to one turn is also probably wrong since some people play with variable initiative each turn - so the expiry could happen earlier or later that 1 round technically.

[Jonathan314159]

I hadn't even thought about variable initiative. Man, this game is *complicated*! And hugely fun. Thanks for the reply.

[Ilandria]

You need to open the players module in order to use the classes. They only appear in the refmanual in the DM module.

This doesn't seem to be consistent with other modules - for example, I'm able to see the Xanathar class additions with only the DM module loaded. Ideally, as a DM I'd only have to load the DM module to have all content available - if I have to load both then I end up with many duplicate entries (i.e. all Tasha's spells are duplicated if I load both the DM and Player's version of Tasha's just to get access to Tasha's class additions, same with the PHB, etc.).

Alternatively as the DM if loading both the DM's and Player's books didn't cause other duplication then the behaviour you mentioned would also be logical to me.

[Zacchaeus]

Welcome to FG.

Originally class, race etc information was included in both but I got complaints of too much duplication. So, the practice for some time has been to not include player only info in the DMs module and only include it in the players version. Unless the DM is creating characters they don’t need to have the players module open. I would go back and change earlier modules but that would then cause issues with characters which used the DM versions during character creation.

Spells need to be available to both players and the DM so they are included in both. There is only one version of the PHB and so only one spell list; make sure you don’t also have the basic rules and/or the SRDdata modules open as well.

[Ilandria]

On paper that makes sense to me, I guess the confusion just stems from the fact that it's inconsistent but not communicated clearly, and that using the system as-intended (or at least what I think is the intended way) still results in duplicate entries.

We actually elected to stop using the "Player's" versions of any books because the stuff I would add to their characters (specifically when helping them create characters) would end up being duplicate entries compared to what they added (since I had the DM's version and they had the Player's version).

The switch to "we disable and nobody uses the Player versions" completely solved the problem for us until we added Tasha's when my Bard friend wanted to use College of Eloquence and my Wizard friend wanted to use Bladesinging. When I asked them to unload the DM version and instead load the Player's version, we went back to having the issue of two entries that looked the same but were actually different in many cases (spells primarily).

All of that said, I might just be missing some basic "how to" stuff here since we've only been using the program for about a month (side note: FGU is amazing - thank you!).

Is there a way where we can retroactively clean up the system such that any duplicates created from the DM using the DM's versions and the players using the Player's versions integrate more seamlessly with one another? I will try swapping the players over to only Player versions again and see what happens...

[Zacchaeus]

This really isn’t a bug report which is what this thread is for.

I’m not fully understanding what the issue is. Players should only have access to the players versions of any of the modules. They should not have access to the DM versions. For classes I always recommend that you drag the class from the PHB. Use the drop down at the top of the class list to select only the PHB list and choose from there. Use that consistently and you can’t go wrong. Any archetypes found in other modules will pop up as a choice at the given level. So, your bard will get the choice of the Tasha’s archetypes if they drag the Bard class in from the PHB provided they have Tasha loaded. There’s no need to drag in from Tasha’s.

For races it’s the same for the main races in the PHB. Chose from there and you will get all the sub races from any other module that has sub races and is loaded. You’ll need to use Volo or whatever other module if you want one of the races specific to that volume.

If you are using the character wizard then there’s no duplication at all since it offers only one choice for each class and race etc rather than the lists which could have duplicates depending on what you have loaded.

Spells are duplicated in Tasha because of the new class that appears in that book, but again the wizard only offers one no matter how many there are. Again make sure your players don’t have access to the basic rules and the SRD data if you have the PHB. Opening these will cause many useless duplicates.

Once you select from one volume you need to stick to that unless you start the character again from scratch.

Haha, it's correct in the player version but not in the DMs one.

The Engulf wording is actually correct but I'll need to change it so that FG picks it up. I think changing the comma to 'and' should do it.

I'll add these to my list; thanks for the report

I recently bought the Creature Codex, Tome of Beasts, Tome of Beasts 2 and Deep Magic expansions by Kobold Press for Fantasy Grounds Unity on Steam. When then loading said products in Fantasy Grounds Unity i noticed that a few monsters from the Creature Codex aswell as most Feats and some spells from Deep Magic were completly missing. I know that these monsters and Feats,etc. should be included as i own physical copies of the books.
The tokens and art work can be found when checking the assets but statblocks, spell descriptions, feat descriptions and such are completly absent.

Welcomoe to FG.

Can you be more specific as to what monsters, feats and spells are missing?

[Archmage Cartaphilus]

I'm still going through what is missing but so far i can tell you this much:

-All the Angels from Creature Codex are missing (Ophanim, Eyes of the gods, sammael, song, kinnara, zoryas)

-the only feats available from Deep Magic are Circle Spellcaster, Ring Bound, Rune Knowledge, Rune Mastery, Script Carver, Script Sage. the rest is missing

- the ley lines from Deep Magic

My brother said that he thought a few spells are missing and a few cretures from the tome of beasts aswell hasn't told me wich ones yet. I'll ask him later. I'll also keep going through the indexes and check what else might be gone.

As the developer of Creature Codex I can assure you all those angels are there, note the spelling of one of them. Also I am NOT the developer of Deep Magic, so I cannot address all that...

Thank you rob2e . i guess i was doing a mistake by adding that "Angel" when searching them in the NPCs window. I'd like to note though that the 'Angels' section is missing from the reference manual. This could have been the source of my consfusion.

Hi Archmage Cartaphilus,

I've looked into the issue about Deep Magic for 5E, and from what I found, the product does include all of the feats detailed in the Kobold Press product. The book does mention other feats from other 5E books such as the Player's Handbook, but all of the new feats in the Kobold Press Product do appear in the FG module.

Also, while Ley Lines was detailed in a separate Kobold Press product, (Deep Magic 5) it was not included in their 5E compendium, which is what the FG module is based upon.

If you find an example of those other feats, or a description of Ley Lines in the Deep Magic compendium, please post them here.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

If you say that everything is present I guess everything is. I myself usually don't spend much time reading the "player books" as one might say so I wouldn't really know.
My brother (who doesn't do anything but study said "player books") insisted that some things were missing, and since he doesn't have a Fantasy Grounds account of his own asked me to ask Costumer Support.

I'm sorry for wasting your time.

[morfil]

I have DMG, XGE, TCE.
All of them list traps under NPCs window. There is a filter on the bottom for type. When I filter for "Type=Trap", only results from DMG is shown. When I perform a text search: "trap" more results are shown.
This makes me worry about that I miss an item in the result (such as a trap named without trap keyword in it)
Correct behavior should filtering for Type=Trap should include results from other sources

You are absolutely not wasting my time, and I am very glad you felt comfortable bringing your concerns to us. If you're trying to help us make our products better then you are helping immensely.

I just wanted you to know you got the product you paid for and that in the future if you feel you haven't, please by all means post it here.

Thanks, Archmage Cartaphilus, for taking the time out of your day to help us. I do mean that.

I think this is a minor issue.
Loaded modules and their content headers are shown. In some of them just "Images" name is being used, in some of them (like Storm Lord's Wrath) "Images & Maps" is being used. I think the naming should be consistent with the official D&D content. I think the naming should match with the sidebar button name; just "Images"
I did not walk through all of the official D&D adventures/modules. Maybe there are more sources with named other than "Images"

There's no traps in Tasha's. I think the the reason for traps not showing all of the traps under the trap type is that many of them are named like 'Medium Simple Trap' which is how they are described in Xanathar's - even the ones so described in the DMG don't get picked up in the trap type list. Anything that is named like 'Large Trap' does get picked up. So I guess it must be something in the way that FG filters things. I'll mention it to Moon Wizard when he gets back from holiday.

Item: Rhythm-Maker's Drum +2 and Rhythm-Maker's Drum +3 have the wrong rarity. +2 should be Rare, +3 should be Very Rare. Both are listed as Uncommon

[Minty23185Fresh]

Hi Zacchaeus. This isn't so much a bug as a documentation inconsistency. The Unearthed Arcana modules (player versus DM) are inconsistently titled so that they don't show up next to one another in the Data Module Activation dialog. (Maybe this is intentional?)

Odd module categories

Tome of Beasts 2, Kobold Press. This module is set to be of type "Reference" instead of "Supplement" like ToB1 and CC.

Mini-Dungeon Tome, AAW. This module is set to be type "AAW" instead of "Adventure"

Hmm, yes. Not sure I want to change that now since doing so will break any characters which have been created using it.

I think this depends on how the module was created. If it was created inside FG then I think you get Images and Maps. If created using the internal parsing tool then you get images. This only affects the library contents. All images (and maps) are under the Images button on the right hand menu (which in some themes is actually names images and maps).

The Dragon Heist adventure includes a player's map of Waterdeep split up into 6 sections to keep the image sizes reasonable. With FGU I was looking to combine these into one new image record instead of sharing the 6 maps individually. However, when looking at the player's map I noticed a few streets are cut off and missing so they don't line up. It seems that each of the smaller images are missing some content along the edges where they were cropped.

For example, from the intersection of the Players SW/W/SE/E maps:
https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=45200
Beneath The Honorable Knight should be Shesstra's Street, and south of Ward's Way should be Belnimbra's Street. On Waterdeep-E-Players, Tarsar's Street at the top of the map is also cut off. In the Waterdeep-SE-Players map, the left side of the map is cut off slightly so that it's missing some content in the Dock Ward.

I'm not sure if this is feasible to change or not, but it would be nice if the maps lined up so they could be combined into a single map in FGU. The combined map doesn't necessarily need to be part of the module (for FGC compatibility).

Creature Codex, Kobold Press, Giant Albino Bat: only has traits and is missing its action section. Sad bat :(

You aren't the first to have pointed this out and I haven't had time to look at it. However since it's come up before I looked at it this morning and I have found a solution. I've cropped the map so that each one overlaps a bit on all sides so you should be able to fit them together in Unity. It'll take a wee bit of fiddling about (hold CTRL and use the arrows keys nudge the maps slightly) and they should align up a lot better than they previously did.

Hopefully it'll go out next Tuesday.
