2024 PHB and DMG bugs reports

[Zacchaeus]

If you find any issues with the new Player's Handbook or the new Dungeon Master's Guide please report them below with enough detail so that I can find the problem easily (chapter, page, screenshots etc). Please don't post issues that you find with the ruleset. Report those in the House of Healing https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?107-The-House-of-Healing-Fantasy-Grounds

Here's some videos which cover some of the changes and how to do some stuff using the new ruleset and the Player's Handbook. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvtWYj3HpGj5mTvgewAo4-vBsM_hFpiFE

[dysorder]

So, in the new character wizard, it seems everyone gets what's called an "origin feat". The wizard lists all of the feats, but many of them you click on and it says they have this or that prerequisite.

If you scroll through the "book" in fantasy grounds, the feats are grouped as "origin" and "general" and so on. And there's only like a dozen or so origin feats. It would be very easy to offer just the origin feats when the player is creating a new character.

[superteddy57]

If this is through the character wizard there is a filter called category that would assist in only showing the Origin feat choices.

[dysorder]

Oh, there is. Didn't notice that, sorry.

[dysorder]

Crashed when I clicked save in the character wizard. Had created a brand new campaign file with only the new PHB loaded.

Are you using any extensions or do you have an unpacked 5E ruleset?

[dysorder]

No, nothing loaded except the PHB.

[ddavison]

Can you send us the error message and the steps to recreate this?

[dysorder]

Is there someone I can send the compiled log to?

[superteddy57]

You can post the zip file it creates here in your post. You may need to use 'Go Advanced' button in the bottom right

[superteddy57]

There were two logs. The previous log issue was fixed, so please try another update to fix the species issue. The other log is the current one and shows a gsub error. We will need more steps in replicating the issue that you were seeing. You can also type '/debug on' and try to replicate and this will provide more information in the logs as well.

[Alynn]

I didn't see a sticky for this, or another thread elsewhere. If there is please point me that way.


Tiers of Play

Tier 1 "The threats they face ger to local farmsteads or villages"

Tier 2 "Most Weapon classes gain the ability to make in a round." "The characters now threaten cities and kingdoms."

MOD: Moved into sticky thread for 2024 issues.

[Tooting Dog]

Great job on the conversion! It looks like SW put a lot of work into this. I noticed tools and arcane focuses do not have GP prices.

I've only just started getting into the new character builder, but it appears that there is no provision for selecting a druid's Primal Order; the character builder appears to give the character the Warden option by default. Also, it appears that you can add your background stat boost to the same ability (i.e., I was able to put both +2 and +1 into Wisdom).

The first one suggests to me that you only have the free basic rules open and not the PHB. The free rules only have one archetype for each class. For the second one the delimiters have been removed so it is possible to put points into the same ability. This was done to make things easier for Homebrew classes and also to make it easier to code for future possible changes WOTC might make amongst other reasons.

[superteddy57]

There is no gatekeeping around duplicates moving forward. So you could pick things twice. This got complicated to keep track of and will provide alerts for those duplicates as time goes on. As for Feature Choices, the character wizard hasn't been expanded that far to include them. You can re-drop the link on the character sheet to get the dialog box to add it to the sheet after you have committed.

Actually, when I built this character I only had the PHB open and not the Basic Rules.

For the second one I'll be sure to remind my players that it is not intended that they be able to put their stat boosts into the same ability, at least per the default rules.

Found another one: the character builder does not automatically add the proficiency bonus to the weapons it adds to the Action tab of the character sheet.

[superteddy57]

We'll look into the weapon add having proficiency. I don't remember if it did, but we'll check it out.

[Lazybones1969]

A few times now the builder has placed a "Psychic Blade" weapon in a character's inventory and Action tab, even though the character's class does not have that feature. So far it's happened with a druid and a warlock.

[superteddy57]

Thanks for the report. I'll look into it

[dysorder]

I reproduced making a level 1 fighter using the wizard with debug on. Same error when I clicked Save. Logs with debug on attached.

I have a solution for this and should be part of the next update if it hasn't already been pushed.

A few times now the builder has placed a "Psychic Blade" weapon in a character's inventory and Action tab, even though the character's class does not have that feature. So far it's happened with a druid and a warlock.

EDIT: the builder adds a goliath's "Large Form" to a new first-level character even though that ability isn't gained until level 5.

Also, the character abilities that are automatically added to the Actions tab of a character sheet via the builder are all flagged as "Legacy" even though they are 2024 content.

That's an issue with the scholar's pack and the Book item entry points to the Psychic Blade. We will look into updating the module with the correct item. For now, you can replace the Psychic Blade entry with a Book.

[Lazybones1969]

Sorry, I had added these to my earlier post without realizing that the thread had gone to a third page. These are fairly minor but thought you might want to add to your list.

EDIT: and I see you already caught it. Feel free to delete this post.

[Moon Wizard]

We currently don't have an ability to break out racial traits to be added at later levels; so they are added to the sheet when the race is selected. It's on our list to look at later.

[Moon Wizard]

Just pushed a fix to allow weapons to default to proficient when added to a PC. Please run a new Check for Updates, and try again.

[meadegendar]

After the update, in the Classes' sidebar, Xanathar's content got nuked. All I see is two New Class Links

[superteddy57]

Xanathar's offered new subclasses and the classes there were used to set up those subclasses and make them available to be selected during level up. They have been moved to the Subclass area and the classes removed as they were copies of the PHB record.

[ShadeRaven]

I think the error messages (../manager_charwizard_abilities.lua]:45: attempt to index local 'w' (a nil value)) on character creation and level advance has been reported, but I haven't seen anyone mention this very minor issue yet:

For the Cleric, if you use the Character Wizard, it just adds Divine Order as a generic feature of the class. However, if you don't use the wizard, when you add the Cleric Class to a sheet without the wizard, it will pop up a decision box for Divine Order (Protector or Thaumaturge) which then fills out the appropriate fields based on the selection.

Similarly, someone mentioned above that you can select the same ability twice on Background selection in the wizard... this is not the case when adding it manually. It offers two pop up boxes, removing the first selection on the next one(s).

[superteddy57]

We are aware of the Feature Choices not being available with the Character Wizard and on our short list of expansions to add in later. You can redrag the feature on the abilities tab to add the choice you want.

[GMAvey]

So I prep everything well in advance for my games

I found that mapped prepped encounters were just not loading correctly, with some spawning in the tracker and others just not showing up at all. This would be bad enough but I found that spellcasting enemies (namely the ones from 3rd party books like Kobold Wizard from Creature Codex) combat tracker shortcuts just did not function and did not appear whatsoever, essentially completely breaking the npc.

[MakiMaki]

The Multiclass into rogue does not include the one extra proficiency it's supposed to have in the character wizard. Obviously, I can add it after the character is made. but I thought I should report it as missing from the wizard anyway.

[Moon Wizard]

@GMAvey,
Nothing in that section of the code was changed for this release. (i.e. encounters, encounter to combat tracker transfer, nor encounter placement)
Are you running any extensions?

@MakiMaki,
Thanks for reporting; I will add to our list to fix.

Regards,
JPG

[GMAvey]

So the only extensions I have is the Aura extension, and Robtwohy. The npcs are all over the place in terms of working or not working. Vampire from Monster Manual will not load its shortcut spells. Also I have no extension that interacts at all with encoutners. But these same encounters worked just fine pre update and now basically do not work at all post update.

[Tooting Dog]

In Warlock Features, both "Extra Warlock Invocations" and "Extra Warlock Invocation" state that you gain 2 extra Invocations of your choice. I think the latter, "Invocation" without the "s" should read that you gain just 1 extra Invocation.

[Moon Wizard]

@GMAvey,
You'll need to disable any extensions until the extension developers verify that they are working with the latest changes. Otherwise, you will get unexpected results. If you are getting issues without any extensions, please let us know.

@Tooting Dog,
Thanks for reporting.

[dysorder]

OK good news and bad news. Same character, I did not get the error when I clicked commit then save. Yay.

But I did get an error when I attempted to change the background. It's worth noting that when I closed the error window it let me continue.

[dysorder]

OK, uh, so, I leveled the fighter up a couple times and picked the new psi warrior subclass.

As far as I can tell this did nothing. In the actual character sheet it says "Fighter subclass" and "Fighting style" under "features" on the abilities tab, but beyond that it doesn't say what fighting style I selected and nothing about what abilities the psi warrior has.

[ddavison]

Updates pushed for the Dungeons & Dragon's Player's Handbook and the D&D 2024 Free Rules modules:

Fixed Scholar's Pack book link to point to a book instead of a pscyhic blade
Relinked this for the Warlock and Wizard class which included the Scholar's Pack in the starting equipment
Fixed the Tiers of Play text for Tier 1 and Tier 2
Adjusted the text for Warlock's Extra Invocation to only give 1 new invocation at those levels

[ShadeRaven]

Small thing. Mace damage is not showing up in actions.

Edit: Adding to this. Looks like Bludgeoning damage in general has a problem.

Further Edit: The damage does appear in the chat box as bludgeoning, it appears to just be that it's not displayed on the action tab. Looks like anything the exceeds the box is not appearing. The damage rolls correctly, it's just the display when the damage details runs beyond the box.

Issues with Druid Class Creation

* Within the Character Wizard there isn't an option to choose Primal Magician or Warden. However when dragging and dropping the class onto a new character, that option does show. Even when it is chosen it doesn't automatically enable the proficiency for medium armor and weapons on the action tab. Meaning the "Proficient" Toggle wasn't being automatically selected.

* When choosing Wood Elf (through Drag and drop onto the character sheet), it adds too many spells for 1st level. The Wood elf doesn't get pass without trace until level 5 and longstrider until level 3, both were added to my 1st level character.

* This may be a proficiency issue as well but when my character had equipped the hide armor (on the inventory tab) the AC calculation was not showing properly on the Main tab. Again this may be that it "thought" my character was not proficient so it didn't calculate the AC with it included.

[Tooting Dog]

LANGUAGES

The Character Wizard does not appear to give an option to select languages (Common plus two others.) I am not sure if this is by design because it is not too big an inconvenience to drag them onto the character sheet.

[superteddy57]

When providing feedback, please provide steps and breakdown of how to replicate the issue you are seeing. Especially with the character wizard as there can be so many things that might affect this and might need a specific combination of steps for it to be reproduced.

[Ferno]

When I add the origin feat "Lucky" to a character, two effects appear in the actions tab. The one to give yourself advantage on d20 rolls and the one to give disadvantage to foes. The thing is, the rules as written for using Lucky to give disadavantage to foes only allows you to give disdvantage to attacks (DISATK), not saves and checks, but the effect there also included DISSAV and DISCHK.

[Tooting Dog]

Really? I have to go through the steps? You guys forgot to add the means to select languages.

Click Character Wizard and use only the 2024 material.
Click Class - Warlock - Select my Proficiencies and get the Check Mark on Class. Click Add Class.
Click Background - Wayfarer - Click +2, +1 and put the points in Char and Dex (BTW, you can place all points in the same Stat.) Get the Check Mark on Background.
Click Species - Click Elf - Click Drow Elf - Select Keen Senses. Get Check Mark on Species.
Click Abilities - Click Standard Array (or any of them for that matter.) Get Check Mark on Abilities.
Click Equipment - Select either the gold or the equipment. Get Check Mark on Equipment.
Click Commit - Add name and Save.

Nowhere does the Wizard ask you to select your two languages. The character sheet does not even get the standard Common that everyone gets on the sheet under Languages in the Abilities tab, it is blank.

I'm not sure if all of the sub choices have been coded to add things like proficiencies; but you are correct nothing gets added. There's no mechanism at the moment to add in features to Species which are gained at later levels, so in the meantime everything is added at level 1. I'm not seeing any issues with equipping hide (or any other) armour. It's possible that issue was fixed earlier since weapons were not defaulting to proficient; so it's possible that Moon Wizard added proficiency for armour as well.

I don't think Superteddy's post was directed at you. Also it would seem that language choice hasn't been implemented yet since it doesn't populate via drag and drop either, So it's not confined to the Character Wizard.

[Moon Wizard]

Just pushed a few updates to fix a few items:

CW multi-class rogue not adding extra proficiency
Spell drag and drop not assigning to existing Spells group
Ancestries not removing traits on reset

[Lazybones1969]

In the "Initiative" radial menu on the Combat Tracker, the old option "Roll NPC Initiatives" now has the same mouseover text as "Roll All Initiatives." The actual button works correctly when selected so it's just a labeling issue.

[johnecc]

Just to be clear, I don't have the PHB yet, but found this bug using the Free Rules, so assume it will be the same. I created a character with the Alert feat, one of its abilities is to add your proficiency bonus to Initiative rolls. However, when I roll Initiative, it only adds my Dex bonus, not the Proficiency bonus(+2). It appaers that the Alert feat should activate the "Proficiency" check on the Init calculation, similar to the Armor Proficiency check.

[Moon Wizard]

Just pushed a few updates to fix a few items reported here, as well as some other items I fixed:

[CoreRPG] Incorrect label on CT menu radial item for Roll NPC Initiatives. Fixed.
[5E] CW feature sections auto-expand initially when selections outstanding.
[5E] CW feature sections auto-collapse after making last decision.
[5E] PC effect ability tags resolving to score, instead of bonus. Fixed.
[5E] CW feat selections not being saved. Fixed.
[5E] Longer damage strings on PC weapons not displaying full string. Fixed.
[5E] Drag and drop of Legacy Monk class asked for 0 tool proficiency selections. Fixed.

[Lo Zeno]

I found a bug when creating a Druid character:
no extensions loaded, no modules, just the new 2024 PHB; when creating a Druid, the Character Wizard doesn't ask which option of Primal Order the player wants (Magician or Warden), instead it applies automatically the Warden option (adds proficiency with Martial weapons and Medium armor).

When using the drag-and-drop method, FGU doesn't ask for which option is chosen either; but manually dragging the Primal Order feature from the class to the character does show the pop-up to choose between Magician and Warden.

[EDIT] My bad, disregard this: I didn't notice it was already reported.

[allenw01234]

When you change the version of an existing NPC spellcaster to 2024, it doesn't update their spell descriptions to the 2024 versions.

[Lo Zeno]

Ok, this one I think hasn't been reported yet: this happens to me with no extensions loaded and only the new PHB loaded.

Using the character wizard, trying to create a Druid or a Paladin (I haven't seen it happen with other classes yet), after having selected the class options and spells for level 1, select the Noble background; when choosing whether you want 3 abilities +1, or One +2 and One +1, select the One +2 and One +1: the console shows the following error

[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "5E:charwizard/scripts/decision.lua"]:100: attempt to index global 'choice' (a nil value)
The same error shows up again once selected an ability for the +2.

Now save the character, and try to level up using the character wizard again: as soon as the "level up" button in the character wizard is pressed, this error appears:

[ERROR] Script execution error: [string "5E:..ripts/manager_charwizard_abilities.lua"]:45: attempt to index local 'w' (a nil value)
It's possible to save the character at this point, but the options are not correctly shown (e.g. no option for the paladin to choose the fighting style). If instead of saving one decides to CANCEL and quit the character wizard, and try the LVL UP button in the character class/level box again, the character wizard appears, the same error appears again ([ERROR] Script execution error: [string "5E:..ripts/manager_charwizard_abilities.lua"]:45: attempt to index local 'w' (a nil value)) but the character wizard doesn't show any class feature anymore (and doesn't allow to select new spells either)

[Zacchaeus]

When you change the version of an existing NPC spellcaster to 2024, it doesn't update their spell descriptions to the 2024 versions.

It won't change the spell descriptions in a PC actions tab. When you add a spell to a character it's fixed since it's a copy of the spell. The change in version only affects what is displayed in the lists; so if you change the version in the spell list it will swap between the 2014 and 2024 versions of the spell; but it will have no other effect. If you change the version globally in options then all that does is change what is shown on the lists for NPCs, equipment, classes, species, backgrounds, spells, and any other lists that have the option.

Once you have added something to a character then it's fixed and the version option won't change that.

It's possible that this has been fixed since you reported it but I'm not seeing this.

[ddavison]

This is also true about NPCs. Toggling the version from Legacy to 2024 or vice-versa just changes the display of how the NPC looks - primarily the stat block display. It doesn't automatically change any values or relink any data records.

Are there any plans to add this functionality for NPC spells? It would be very useful.

[Moon Wizard]

Because the publisher specifically decided to allow records from Legacy and 2024 to be used at the same time alongside each other, users can choose to use either Legacy or 2024 versions of any record. Also, as mentioned above, the data is fixed in the NPC records as full copies of the spell data using the Legacy data.

The spells on the NPC will continue to work as they always have; so nothing will break. If you want to use new versions of the spells on an NPC, then you can delete the spells on the NPC, and drop in the 2024 versions you want to use.

Just pushed a few updates to fix reported items:

Second fighter equipment kit option ignored when selected. Fixed.
Script error when making +2/+1 ASI choice for Background. Fixed.

[Zetesofos]

So, not sure if this is the place to ask, but did Fantasy Grounds remove the Action Summary column for entries on the Action Tab. I had a game active that had players Character Sheets with many actions with short-hand summaries for abilities; and they now appear to be all gone?

[Moon Wizard]

Updates

NPC Recharge option on powers not being parsed correctly when added to CT. Fixed.
D&D 2024 Lucky feat incorrectly adding DISCHK and DISSAV to effect action on PC sheet. Fixed.

Observation: The current 5e 2024 rule set lacks streamlined navigation and accessibility, particularly in areas such as weapon mastery, which complicates the character creation process. Users must frequently refer back to the Player’s Handbook (PHB) or similar sources to identify the mastery properties of each weapon, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming. This issue affects the overall quality of navigation, creating unnecessary hurdles during gameplay and character building.

Request: To improve usability, it is suggested that weapons be sorted by mastery type or that hyperlinks be added directly to relevant sections within the digital rulebooks. Implementing inline tables or creating an easily accessible reference list that displays weapon names alongside their mastery types would significantly enhance visibility and reduce the need for extensive manual cross-referencing during character creation. This approach would help players access crucial information quickly, allowing for a smoother, more intuitive experience. This is akin the the Battle Master maneuvers, they should be more accessible and easier to find without drilling down manually into the rulebooks to reference these important class options.

I separated out the weapons page so that Weapon properties and Mastery Properties now have their own pages; these can be linked to a quick slot for easier reference.

Okay, thank you. Did you see the necessity or was it just whining?

I restored Tasha's base class records. Subclasses are still extracted, but this should provide access to the optional features for those classes from Tasha's, as well as provide linkage to the classes for existing records.

Not whining but a QoL thing.

Smiteworks Team,

I've encountered a small bug with the new Fantasy Grounds 5e 2024 Player's Handbook while leveling a War Domain cleric to level 7. Using the drag-and-drop method, I noticed that Fantasy Grounds automatically grants prepared spells for each level based on the character's level and domain bonus spells prepared, which is great.
However, it incorrectly adds bonus spells for spells at level 5-7 spells at cleric level 7, while clerics shouldn't have access to level 5 spells until level 9. This seems to be an issue with how the XML is flagging spell levels during the leveling process. I am not using any extensions or legacy content. I also noticed that languages are no longer added to or prompted for with the expanded 2024 5e rule set, is this to be the case or just a small change or uneccesary function now?
Are we to assume that a number of previous or newer features are hard coded to just "work", or do we need to assume that each build needs to be scrutinized and checked for automation or if it might require some manual syntax to be added in with the 2024 5e PHB rules? It's not easy or consistent to tell or know which processes were inherited, changed, or left out as of now. I realize this integration is new and challenging, but there are so many loose ends for now until the Smiteworks team has time to go through the changes and such.

Thanks in advance

[Moon Wizard]

Updates

Amazing work guys. Lots of updates this week, not just 5e, you all work so hard to make the best VTT better.

[MakiMaki]

My player remade their ranger last night, and it seems rangers aren't getting spell slots by default anymore in the character wizard and had to be added afterward.

[MakiMaki]

also, both sorcerer and warlock have their subclass "always prepared spells" show up in actions tabs based on total level, not class level. leaving a level 8 sorcerer/warlock with spells prepared that they can't cast and shouldn't yet have unlocked.

[Moon Wizard]

Just pushed a hot fix for Paladin/Rogue spellcaster levels when calculating spell slots, as well as script error on Rogue proficiency selection. Please run a new Check for Updates.

I just got the new PHB and was messing around with the character wizard. It didn't prompt me to add my 4 1st level spells as a cleric but the bigger problem is I can't seem to drag and drop spells on the character sheet unless I'm missing something obvious.

[Moon Wizard]

@Danimal66,

It doesn't prompt you to add the known spells; but there is a Spells button on the Character Wizard - Class tab next to the class Features button to let you add spells.

You can also drag and drop links to spell records directly to the Actions tab of the character sheet as well. You can only add on the Actions tab; not on any other PC sheet tab.

Hi, last night I was creating new character sheets for my players for the 2024 version and I think I found a bug. While building a Path of the Zealot Barbarian, even though I am 100% sure I chose the new 2024 book as the source for the subclass, the features added to the sheet were the Xanathar's Guide version (I had this module loaded as well). I even repeated the process in new sheets and it was always the same. The only way to force the use of the 2024 was to unload the Xanathar Guide module. Doing that allowed the correct features to be imported when leveling up the barbarian.

I'm not seeing this. I've tested a few times and as long as I select the 2024 version of the PHB the correct features are added at level three when I select the Path of the Zealot. Can you test in a new campaign without extensions to see if you can replicate the error?

[Laerun]

Updated FG today: 09/25/24 12:00 Noon ET

Newer 5e 2024 Campaign, no extensions or legacy content.

Actions:
Launched CW with PHB Activated
Select Class: Rogue
Select Skill Options, okay
Select Background: Criminal
Choice #2 for ASI +1, to 3 abilities, is not offering the change options after selecting the option #2 (Tasha's ASI method).
Image example attached.

*Also, on certain choice build paths, criminal build path for example, a Rogue: Expertise Option, IF you were to select a background that gives you stealth already (Criminal), and you wish to avoid doubling up on your abilities, you have no way to select your actual class Expertise initially, unless you wait until after the CW build and go adjust this manually from the sheet itself. So, therefore, initially, you are locked out of part of your Expertise options initially. A bit of an edge case, for sure, but it is a potential confusion point for newer users, or for users that have not come across this yet.*

**Update: Also broken in drag and drop character creation, the second ASI option when using the newer Tasha's method.

[Tooting Dog]

I have noticed that spellcasters who do not prepare spells (Warlock and Ranger in my case) are being created with the Power Group set to 2 Prepared Spells. Newer players may not know how to change this and input a 0 so that their spells appear in the combat mode of the sheet.

Hi, did as you asked in a new campaign with no extensions and this time things turned out right even with the Xanathar book loaded. I'm glad it is likely just an extension conflict.

There needs to be a number in that box in the power group otherwise the spell preparation feature won't work. It doesn't matter what number is there as long as there is one. If someone changes it to a zero then they'll need to change it back to a number for the feature to work.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't ablt to drag and drop to the actions tab but I figure out why.

At first I attempted to do this by opening both the character sheet and the 2024 PHB from the "books" menu item this didn't work.

However opening the 2024 PHB from the modules tab and dragging that way worked fine.

I haven't really used the books tab before so I didn't know you couldn't do it from there.

[MakiMaki]

This update also fixed both the issues I mentioned above, (Sorlock spell list, and ranger missing slots) Thanks you guys!

Maybe I do not understand you, or you do not understand me. Warlocks do not prepare spells. If you have any number in that box that I described, the Warlock does not see her spells in the Combat Mode.

In combat mode, without the prepared enabled by adding a number, it will default and show ALL of your spells in your spellbook or collection, once you add the value and cycle to "prepare", it will allow you to select and prepare whatever quantity your caster can prep, manually. And then after this , when you cycle back to "combat" mode, only your prepared spells selections will appear, and not all of them as you've shown in your example images.

Cycle the option to prepared, there you can select or deselect as needed. The prepared bubbles will not show unless your selection is set to prepared, and you've set a value in the prepared field. In both image examples, it's cycled to Combat currently.

I agree about the confusion part, if it's set to 2 prepared by default upon character creation, this behavior will create a misunderstanding. In the interim, I will create a video in case and we must train our players until this can be investigated and or sorted. I don't know or cannot verify this is happening upon character creation, or if the players accidentally added a value in that particular field themselves.

[Tooting Dog]

It is happening on Character Creation using the Character Wizard. Every Warlock I build automatically starts with a 2 in the Prepared box. Luckily, I know how to remove it so that I can see my spells in Combat mode. And to clarify, Warlocks do not prepare spells; all spells should show up in Combat Mode. (I think it does this with Ranger, too.)

On a side note. Is Aid a Ritual spell? I am not seeing this in the paper PH. In FGU, Casting Time does not show it as a Ritual, either, but there is a "Ranger; Ritual" tag in the Source line. I quickly reviewed the Ranger and did not see it being a Ritual spell for Rangers, but I may have missed it.

I just did a complex drag and drop build of a Pact of the Tome warlock and it was a bit messy. I know what you mean, but there is a table in the warlock class section that shows spells known, prepared, and slots.

PHB, pg 108? Pact Magic.

Level 1: Pact Magic Through occult ceremony, you have formed a pact with a mysterious entity to gain magical powers. The entity is a voice in the shadows—its identity unclear—but its boon to you is concrete: the ability to cast spells.

See chapter 7 for the rules on spellcasting. The information below details how you use those rules with Warlock spells, which appear in the Warlock spell list later in the class’s description.

Cantrips. You know two Warlock cantrips of your choice. Eldritch Blast and Prestidigitation are recommended.

Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one of your cantrips from this feature with another Warlock cantrip of your choice.

When you reach Warlock levels 4 and 10, you learn another Warlock cantrip of your choice, as shown in the Cantrips column of the Warlock Features table.

Spell Slots. The Warlock Features table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Warlock spells of levels 1–5.

The table also shows the level of those slots, all of which are the same level. You regain all expended Pact Magic spell slots when you finish a Short or Long Rest.

For example, when you’re a level 5 Warlock, you have two level 3 spell slots. To cast the level 1 spell Witch Bolt, you must spend one of those slots, and you cast it as a level 3 spell.

Prepared Spells of Level 1+. You prepare the list of level 1+ spells that are available for you to cast with this feature.

To start, choose two level 1 Warlock spells. Charm Person and Hex are recommended. The number of spells on your list increases as you gain Warlock levels, as shown in the Prepared Spells column of the Warlock Features table.

Whenever that number increases, choose additional Warlock spells until the number of spells on your list matches the number in the table.

The chosen spells must be of a level no higher than what’s shown in the table’s Slot Level column for your level.
When you reach level 6, for example, you learn a new Warlock spell, which can be of levels 1–3.

If another Warlock feature gives you spells that you always have prepared, those spells don’t count against the number of spells you can prepare with this feature, but those spells otherwise count as Warlock spells for you.

Changing Your Prepared Spells. Whenever you gain a Warlock level, you can replace one spell on your list with another Warlock spell of an eligible level.

Spellcasting Ability. Charisma is the spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells.

Re: Aid
No, it's not a ritual.

[Tooting Dog]

Ahh, I see the confusion. Yes, Prepared Spells seems to be a misnomer, in my opinion, because you do not actually prepare them. In effect you do not. You do not prepare from a list of spells at every long rest. Once you grab the spells that you are allowed, you are stuck with them until you level-up whereupon you gain a new one (and can switch one out.) I suppose you prepare the spell when you first get it, but after that you are really just regaining spell slots at each rest and not preparing anything.

So the way it is now, at each level-up when you add your one new spell, the player has to click that spell in the Prepared list to activate it to get it to show in the Combat mode. Yes, that works. I will stick with my way and set Prepared to 0 so that the spell I gain at level-up automatically shows in the Combat Tab. Drag and drop, and it is there and visible. The Warlock will never have a list of spells it has to choose from and all the spells they have should just automatically show in the Combat mode.

I'm playing a Warlock in two games right now and do not remember ever having to click them in Prepared Mode and thus I think you guys had it set to zero in that box before. I stand corrected... kind of sort of, but not really. :) Thank you for your time.

Hi everyone,

While creating a new NPC using D&D 2024 PH, I didn't find where to set proficiency to an ability.

[Laerun]

If something was missed or if there was an error, please detail the specific build steps.
Also, one can edit and add or adjust these on the abilities tab once the NPC is unlocked and edited. Please provide a screen shot if possible. This can be set in the Skills field, and just add any bonuses there, for example, Prof Bonus +2, Plus Dex bonus +2, add +4 to the ability skills field. Acrobatics +4, I do not recall if this auto-calculated before.

62201

[mgmgambit]

It seems there's no saving throw field in 2024, yet I could input them in the skill field as per attached image, since the save modifier cannot be edited with the creature proficiency bonus.

62202

[Laerun]

Indeed, those fields have changed. Have you tried to swith to Legacy mode and then back to 2024?

[Zacchaeus]

It seems there's no saving throw field in 2024, yet I could input them in the skill field as per attached image, since the save modifier cannot be edited with the creature proficiency bonus.

62202

As you say there's no Saving throw field in the 2024 NPCs. We may have to wait until the Monster Manual comes out to find out why that is; but at the moment we have to assume that creatures won't get a bonus to saving throws beyond that which they get from an ability score modifier.

You will need to work out what their skill bonus is if they have proficiency in a skill - just like in your image. Having said that the first creature I looked at in the new PHB (Black Bear) has noted its Perception skill at a +5 which doesn't add up with it's ability modifier + it's proficiency. So it would seem that the Black Bear actually has double proficiency in that skill.

A creatures proficiency modifier (probably) depends on its CR - as it did in the 2014 version of 5e; this is a calculated field and therefore not editable.

[mgmgambit]

Thanks Zacchaeus and Laerun,

I'm thinking to publish this module on DMs Guild before the new MM.
I'll use the skill field with the desired str and con save bonuses for while, leaving a note to customers. As soon as MM releases, I'll update the module.
I looked at the cat and crocodile, I think their dex and con saves have proficiency bonus applied to them.

[Moon Wizard]

@Ferno,
Thanks for reporting the issue with the Barbarian subclass (Path of the Zealot). I was working on a similar issue earlier today where the subclass wasn't getting tracked correctly if both the Legacy and the new PHB were both open. This should be fixed with the Tuesday update.

@Laerun,
Thanks for reporting.
When reporting, please break out the issues individually. Also, you mention 2024 with no Legacy content; but then you mention Tasha's method which is only relevant to Legacy material.
I tried recreating the issues with my current development build.
* Background abilities (2024) - When you select the second option, you are saying to add +1 to three different stats, and there are only three stats. So, no additional choices are needed.
* Drag and drop background abilities (2024) - Same as above.
* Skill/Expertise record add order - I'm aware of this situation and tracking; but there are a lot of moving parts, so I'm waiting to address once things slow down.

@Tooting Dog,
Thanks for reporting about the Warlock and Ranger prepared spells. Are you talking about the Legacy (2014) versions or the new (2024) versions?
For 2014, the Ranger and Warlock do not have Prepared Spells according to the class description; and this is correctly in PC builds.
For 2024, the Ranger and Warlock have Prepared Spells according to the class description; and this is showing correctly in PC builds. The Ranger and Warlock technically know all the spells on their class list; and can prepare a certain amount according to their class table.

@mgmgambit,
The NPC initiative and save modifier fields can be adjusted by unlocking the NPC sheet, and holding Control and using the mouse wheel while over the initiative or save modifier fields.

Wow that worked!!!

Thank you very much

[ddavison]

I asked WOTC about the Save and Modifier values for NPCs when I was doing the NPCs in the PHB and even though they seem to be the same as the ability bonuses for most creatures, this will not be the case across the MM - especially for higher level monsters.

Re: Warlocks and Sorcerers preparing spells in 2024 PHB.

I know it's been a few days since this was talked about, but allow me to clear up any confusions. First of all, what I'm about to say is regarding the 2024 rules, not legacy 5e.

For all intents and purposes, what happens now is that all spellcasters, except the Wizard, know all their spells (ie: have full access to their entire spell list), but can only prepare a specific amount of them and can change that list of prepared spells at specific times and to a predefined degree.

For many classes, that means that every time they finish a Long Rest, they can replace their entire list of prepared spells. (EG: Cleric, Druid).
Some classes get to change only one spell in their list of prepared spells when they finish a Long Rest (EG: Paladin, Ranger).
And some classes get to change only one spell in their list of prepared spells when they go up a level (Sorcerers, Warlocks, I think Bards too).

So yes, while in practice it's the same as before, technically what warlocks do now, is that they select their prepared spells when they go up a level. They don't learn new spells in the traditional sense. Again, in practice it's the same.

So, FG now gets you in preparation mode by default, and you can, as a warlock, choose and add your entire repertoire of spells in your character sheet as you gain levels, but you have the right to switch up the list of prepared spells only when you level up, and only by one spell--not including the extra spell you can prepare when your number of prepared spells goes up as you level up.

So, there.

Now, you can also ignore that, and handle it as before, where you only add the spells you "know" on your sheet, and do away from the whole preparation process.

Again, this is only regarding 2024 content.

[johnecc]

@Moon Wizard, thank you for the updates to the 5E ruleset, specifically:
- Automating the experience needed on Level Up
- Inspiration broadcasting to chat
- The Find Token button (have had to explain so many times to people how to find it previously)

[Tooting Dog]

Vass,

I actually knew all that. I was just looking at things backwards, I suppose. I personally find it easier to drag the new spell into the sheet and have it automatically be "prepared" like it used to be, rather than have to go to the Preparation Mode and click. I suppose I was impacted by habit. It is really not a big deal and I think this got blown way out of proportion. And yes, I will input a 0 in that field and continue to do it old school. Thanks!

No problem. I was not necessarily replying to explain it to you per se, but rather using your conversation on the matter as an opportunity to explain something that I believe many people may get confused about, particularly coming in from legacy 5e. I myself have not decided if the 2024 approach is better than the old Known spells approach--at least for new players. It probably is? Maybe? :p

[Imparu]

Hello!

On the Class & Level window, I have found that I am no longer able to update the "XP to Next Level" value. Instead, it always reads zero. Is there a new method for updating this value as the DM?

I am not running any extensions. Steps to recreate:

1. Open any character sheet.
2. Navigate to the Main Tab.
3. Under Class & Level on Main, select the gear icon.
4. On the Class & Level window pop-up, "XP to Next Level" is not editable.

I do not believe my players used the character wizard to create their characters. The DM used to be able to update the value directly.

Thank you for the response!

I tried both updating the current XP box directly and adding the XP to the character sheets via the "Award XP" function of the party sheet. Neither resulted in the "Next Level" field being updated. When the players level up, I can see if automatically updates the experience. Unfortunately, every time I've tried to recreate the issue this morning, the character sheets I create, both using the character wizard and by adding the character manually, both automatically default the value to 300 as expected.

I have no idea how all four of my players created characters that don't have a next level XP value. Perhaps they created their characters before the automation update, before we started playing?

Edit: To clarify, I am still seeing the issue with their character sheets for now. Any advice on how to fix it for existing characters would be appreciated. If there is an XML value I can edit, I can probably figure it out, but I don't know if that'll break future automation.

[Zacchaeus]

From my testing it will only enter the next level XP when the character levels up if it is an existing character. Adding XP into the XP field either directly or via the Party sheet doesn't refresh the Next Level figure. It works fine for new characters.

If it's not updating for you when the characters level up then it is possibly an extension that is interfering (if you use extensions).

[Moon Wizard]

Thanks for the report. I'll look at forcing a refresh when the PC sheet opened as well.

I created a level 4 sorcerer, who is supposed to have 4 sorcery points, but only has 2, and a level 4 fighter who is supposed to have 3 second wind actions, but also only has two.

On another note, I cannot modify new power groups. I cannot figure out how to rename them or find the settings button to make any adjustments for the new power groups. I can modify the auto-generated power groups still. I also don't see the star in the bottom right corner of the window, only the sword and hand to generate power types.

Such things as sorcery points and other abilities that increase with level are not automated. It is a manual process to update these using preparation mode.

To add a name to a power group click on the edit button on the bottom right of the window whilst in Standard mode.

[Tooting Dog]

I am not certain where this goes, but I found a typo in the 2024 PH:

62276

[Moon Wizard]

The hand symbol button is exactly the same button as the star symbol before. It adds a new power entry with an empty group value.

To edit the group value of a power (and thus create new power groups); you need to click the Edit button to display the group information for the powers. Once the group field is visible, you can edit the group value for any power. If the group value of a power is a new value after exiting the group data entry field, it will create a new power group. This is very similar to how it worked before; but just made group information for each power hidden by default unless in Edit mode.

Currently, the character building feature does not automatically adjust resource numbers for features at future levels, such as sorcery points, second wind uses, ki points, etc.

[Zacchaeus]

This code used to work for vow of enmity but it no longer provides the person with advantage on their attack roll.
Target: Vow of Enmity
Self: IFT: CUSTOM(Vow of Enmity); ADVATK

This is working for me. Might be that you've missed off the colon at the end of ADVATK.

Built a Barbarian with character builder. Rage is not completely correct; only 2024 PHB loaded. In short, in 2024 it should apply rage damage to any weapon attack done using strength. In 2014, you had to make a melee attack. However, the character builder is using the 2014 definition. I made a javelin attack and noticed it was wrong.

It's easy to fix, but currently seems hardcoded currently to the 2014 definition.

I'm not sure this is a bug but rather a feature request. The DMG effect can only currently handle melee, ranged, or opportunity. It would need thrown to be added as parameter in order to handle edge cases like a thrown Javelin, and that would be a ruleset change.

Isn't all you need to do is to remove the "melee" in the coding line? When I did that, it worked when I chucked a javelin.

It will work, except it will also give you the extra damage on ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows; which would be incorrect since they are not based on strength. But there probably is no harm in that since its unlikely barbarians would have anything to do with ranged weapons.

Hmm you're right when I look at this again closely. I had thought there was a part in there that the bonus was only applied to strength attacks. Is there a way to do that currently? Your coding-fu is far superior to mine.

If not it would seem that would be something that would be desirable as a feature, to be able to select an ability score for damage.

No the only delimiters are ranged, melee, and opportunity. Generally this works fine but since there are always exceptions not everything can be catered for without getting too complicated.

[Moon Wizard]

Currently, there is not an effect option to limit damage effects to specific ability scores; especially since damage can technically be multiple clauses of different damage types and multiple ability scores or class levels.

I'm not seeing this. Can you replicate in a new campaign without extensions? If you can replicate can you give me exact steps on how to reproduce?

(In my image below the top subclass is the link to the Dungeons & Dragons PHB and the bottom is from the D&D PHB).

[cwsoots]

I'm unable to replicate the issue today. I tried a new campaign with no extensions, and the links were correct. I then returned to the campaign where the issue last occurred and where I was able to replicate it multiple times. I reverted changes to the 2024 PHB as a precaution, as reversions to the new PHB sometimes appear by simply dragging links out to the character sheets, and now the links are correctly placed.

To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe that I'm running any extensions that would affect those links. I did have this same issue appear in two separate campaigns as discovered when leveling two separate Life Domain clerics and noticing that legacy features were being added. Since it happened in two separate campaigns, I excluded the possibility of user error.

I was able to correct the wrong subclasses on both characters by dragging the correct subclass link to the Class & Level window, and I manually replaced the features. I'll pay better attention to see if I can recreate this issue during future drag & drop character creations or updates. Thanks for taking the time to validate!

There is an omitted sentence in the Combat Encounters section of Chapter 4 that makes it comically wrong:

Updates

Added D&D 2024 species languages selection to drag and drop and character wizard creation methods.
D&D 2024 subclass features that added spells now add only at the level received.
Actions automatically added to PC during character creation will now inherit rules version from source record.
Class rules version not being picked up correctly on CW level up. Fixed.
All class features incorrectly re-added to CW level up window on subclass selection. Fixed.
Reliable save effects were not working. Fixed.
Skill checks used new Exhaustion rules, regardless of Rules Version option. Fixed.
D&D 2024 Alert feat added using CW did not apply initiative proficiency. Fixed.
Script error when dropping skill records on PC skills tab. Fixed.
Skill and Language selections not appearing in CW for some traits/features. Improved.


Both myself and some friends with their games are finding that the skill checks are still being made with new Exhaustion rules, despite having Legacy rules selected. And ideas?

@darthridian,

I'm not seeing that. The first roll is with the 2024 option set; and the second roll is with the Legacy option set. (See picture.)

[Lazybones1969]

I noticed that the costs of all the spell scrolls in the 2024 DMG are off. Per the table "Magic Item Rarities and Values" in the DMG (chapter 7), the cost of a spell scroll should be x2 the cost of scribing them, as listed in the Player's Handbook. So they should be as follows:
Cantrip scroll: 30gp
Level 1 scroll: 50gp
Level 2 scroll: 200gp
Level 3 scroll: 300gp
Level 4 scroll: 2,000gp
Level 5 scroll: 3,000gp
Level 6 scroll: 20,000gp
Level 7 scroll: 25,000gp
Level 8 scroll: 30,000gp
Level 9 scroll: 100,000gp

Also, this isn't technically a bug, but I really appreciated that the previous DMG had a separate scroll item for every possible spell. I realize that this would be quite time consuming to create.

And one other bug: the generic ioun stone item has a comma after "Wondrous Item" in the Type field, so this shows up as a separate category in the dropdown menu.

[ddavison]

The costs in silver should be correct because it adds the cost of a quarterstaff, which is 2 sp. that means the cost can’t be shown in gp without resorting to fractional coins.

The spell scrolls in the DMG were assigned a rarity and the value comes from the rarity. I can ask them if the PHB scroll values should take precedence or the new DMG rarities should be used since it is a newer book.

This is the exact text from the DMG:

Sorry, late in seeing this. I'm actually going through the DMG at the moment and correcting things. You are correct about the scroll value and I've already adjusted those as well as the values for consumables which were also wrong. I also noted the extraneous comma. I'm hoping to finish my review this week and get the amended DMG up for release next Tuesday.

You can now make your own scrolls via the item forge. Add a scroll to the Base Item and then drag in an appropriate spell and when you click on Forge new item it will create the spell scroll with that spell.

Right, so that explains why javelins, slings, clubs, greatclubs, and darts all had a value in either copper, silver, or electrum pieces. I pretty much 'fixed' all of these by converting those values into gp :cry:

The OP is correct about the spell scrolls value, and consumables are also half the value of the rarity shown so I corrected those as well. As he mentions this is noted in the DMG in the Magic Items value section.

This is related to the new update having graphic and memory issues. There have been numerous hot fix updates pushed since then, make sure you and your players all update. But know, there are still some unresolved issues. Not sure if this is one of those. But, you can check the House of Healing for the most recent threads, or if this still persists for you after an update and testing with no extensions, it would be best to create a new thread to report your details in the House of Healing :)

Thanks. I think I see what you are talking about. That seems to be related to token grid snapping when dragging via mouse vs. any performance issue. It also seems to be tied to the odd grid size used for that map.

I can't recall last time I updated so that's probably it. I was seeing odd things where the cost of a silvered dart was listed as 10,005 CP too.

I can't recall last time I updated so that's probably it. I was seeing odd things where the cost of a silvered dart was listed as 10,005 CP too.

Yes, it's been a while since you updated then.

The original developer (Doug) added some code into the Forge builder for magic items where it added in the cost of the base item to the cost of the magic item (this is correct per the DMG - but was rather ignored by the Forge up until now). Thus for certain magic items where the base cost was in copper or silver or electrum then the cost of the magic item was converted to that currency type before adding in the base cost (since FG can't handle something that costs 500gp and 6cp). Thus a magic dart's cost would be expressed in copper pieces, javelins in silver pieces etc. I didn't actually realise that this was what he'd done so when I went through the DMG I 'corrected' all of these values to gold pieces. So, technically, 10,005 cp is the correct value but I'm going to assume that most DMs aren't going to insist that the exact value according to RAW is needed for magic items.

I’m wondering if the Effect settings for the Dread Ambusher feature the Gloom Stalker Ranger subclass gets at Level 3 might have an error?

Both the 2024 PHB (pg. 125) and the feature description in Fantasy Grounds says, “When you roll Initiative, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the roll” but the Effect description in the Action Tab looks like it is granting Advantage to the roll (i.e. “Dread Ambusher; ADVINIT; [SELF]”).

Based on the feature description, should that Effect description instead use INIT: [WIS]?

I’m a player in a campaign in which I believe no scripts are running and used the Character Wizard to create a 4th level Gloom Stalker Ranger character.

There are a couple of typos on the proficiency options when choosing the Changeling species. I'm not sure what the actual name of the screen is, so here are the steps to get to it:

1. Create a new character.
2. Open the character sheet.
3. Drag and drop the Changeling species to the character sheet.
4. A window will open titled "Select Proficiencies."

In that window, there is a colon and space before Deception and a period after Persuasion that I think are copy/paste errors.

I do not see the asset either.

It can be found in assets if you search for Tieflings Art.webp

We will add it to the reference manual in a future update.

Not sure if there is a different spot to report errors in the 2025 MM but the arch-hag is missing it's challenge rating. Small fix. I already added it back manually on my end but thought it should be noted.

Thanks, noted. I've started a new thread now that all of the Core books are out.

D&D Player's Handbook 2024, App B Creature Stat Blocks has not been updated with the errata:
Appendix B: Creature Stat Blocks
All Stat Blocks (pp. 346–359)
All stat blocks in appendix B have been replaced with the Monster Manual (2025) versions.

I'm getting errors everytime I click on an NPC beast as well.

I'm not seeing any real differences so far in the PHB versions but I'll go through them and fix any that are different. Can you be more specific as to what errors you are seeing and for what creatures. I'm not seeing any issues. Any steps that you are taking to reliably produce the errors would be appreciated.

Ok here's what I did: Opened "Books" -- opened "D&D Players Handbook" (yes it's the 2024)-- clicked on "Appendix B Creature Stat Blocks" -- From here, all the creatures are from the 1st printing of the 2024 PHB, the erratta says to replace them with the MM ones. [Example Panther had a 12 AC and the Pounce & Prowl abilities in the 1st printing, and in the fixed version it has a 13 AC and the Nimble Escape] -- Under Panther I click "NPC: Panther" brown button and the NPC block does pop up but it gives the errors in the attached Player.log

Thanks for the additional info. I did go through all of the NPCs and updated those that had been changed to the MM version and that update was released earlier this week.

As for the errors you are seeing those appear to be caused by one of the many extensions that you are using. Test without those extensions to make sure that there aren't any errors and then re enable each extension one by one until you find the one that's giving you the problem.
