One of my players decided they wanted to play a 5th Edition version of a warlord. We found a homebrew version that we both liked so I went to work adding all the relevant information to Fantasy Grounds, however it is not behaving how I expected, specifically when trying to level up the class through the character wizard or by dragging the class onto the character sheet. Creating a character with the new homebrew class using the character wizard works beautifully and I can get everything to populate correctly into the character sheet (features, proficiencies, etc.), but I run into lots of issues trying to actually level up the class:
When I try leveling up the character through the character wizard, it adds the additional HP just fine, but none of the features of the class get added to the character sheet.
When I level up the character by dragging and dropping the homewbrew class directly on the character sheet, it levels up the character and adds the the non-specialization specific features to the character sheet, but none of the specialization specific features get added to the character sheet. Edit: Did some more poking around and found that if I create and level the character exclusively through drag and drop method without using the character wizard the features (both the normal class features and the specialization features) get added to the character sheet automatically as expected. It seems the issue occurs when I try to use the character wizard at any point during character creation or leveling up with the custom class.
To clarify, this homebrew class gets access to a specialization at 1st level, and the specialization specific features get added to character sheet during the initial character creation through the character wizard. Long and short, I'm not sure why the character wizard (or just dragging and dropping) is not behaving nicely with this class when I'm trying to level it up. Am I missing something obvious? I've made sure that the specialization labels on the specialization specific features are spelled exactly the same as the corresponding specializations.
