Script Error: [string "charwizard/scripts/sharwizard_classwindow.l..."]: 160: attempt to index local 'sSkillText ext' [a nil value]

I made a custom class and followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV0vH1eeUZM it all seemed to work just fine, then I tried using the character creator and it kept popping this up. I then tried taking a blank charactersheet and adding to it, it all worked great until level 3 with the special choice, it popped up the choices and then after choosing it didn;t show the choice. I tried leveling up again and then level 4 wouldn't load it's next feature. I don't understand what I am doing wrong.

Solved, issue was that I didn't give a choice in skills for both multiclassing and first level. Thank you FG_Wraith for solving!

I'm not sure whether the Character Wizard fully supports homebrewed classes. Does everything work correctly via drag and drop?

Hi 97BigBen1,

If you could send me the text of your custom class, I could help you with the error.
There are certain phrases the program looks for that are set by the wording in the official classes. If you don't use the same wording the program won't know what to do with the class. (Though it shouldn't throw that error either, so thank you for reporting that!)

Also, the thread for Character Wizard bugs can be found here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?60435-5E-Character-Wizard-Bug-Reports-(2020)

Looking forward to your custom class text so we can get this resolved!

Everything seems to work fine. (Though I did add specializations for it, but it isn't needed. If you encounter an error with that, let me know.)
The problem you were having is because there aren't any classes in 5E that list a single skill, so the program is expecting a choice. Once I entered a small group of skills taken from the Ranger class it worked fine.

When you make the features, do be aware that the Ability Score Improvements at 4, 8, 12, 14, 16, and 19 must be made separately and must be named "Ability Score Improvement"

Also note, that unlike some official class features, nothing you add in a custom class will automatically change the character sheet. For example if you have a 2nd level feature that grants an automatic +2 AC (nice feature!) then it will not automatically add +2 AC to a character made with this custom class. You will need to do that manually as the program must already have a name for a feature in place that it knows has special functions to do to the character automatically and there's just no way to know what feature does what coming from custom sources.

Please let me know if this works for you, and if you have any further problems, remember, I'm always here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?60435-5E-Character-Wizard-Bug-Reports-(2020)
