It's been mentioned on Discord, but I am creating Legacy pregen characters with the Character Wizard and the Save button appears to not be working.

Also, the Species Ability Score adjustments aren't working like they used to. For example, the Hill/Gold Dwarf is supposed to receive +2 Con and +1 Wis. It only adds +1 to Wis. If you play around with the drop down under the Species you can get it to add the +2 Con but it removes the +1 Wis. A workaround I found is adding the addition the Misc row.

Thanks for all your hard work in fixing stuff as it comes up.

We'll need more information on the steps you are using to create the character so we can recreate and fix the issue here.

Thanks,

I start with class and select the options I want Skills are Medicine and Religion, and I pick the War Domain subclass. Then I move to Background and select City Watch, then I move to Species and select Gold Dwarf. In the description it states the race gets +2 Con and +1 Wis. Then I move to Abilities and choose Standard Array and arrange where I want them. Under the Species row there is a +1 for Wis but no +2 for Con, I add that to the Misc row. Then I move to equipment and add the starting package stuff. I then move back to Class and add spells. 3 Cantrips and 4 Level 1 spells. Then I move to the Commit tab and click save.

The console error appears and a character sheet pops up but it's blank with no data filled in.

Update:

Also does with with all extensions unloaded, just theme and the FR language thing.

This also does the same with the Free Rules in brand new campaign with nothing else loaded.

The error presented should be fixed with the latest update.

I have the same issue, without extensions and almost no module loaded, the ASI from species and ancestries doesn't add correctly following the character wizard with legacy rules. You get the +1 or the +2 but not both and you need to add it in misc manually.

I have the latest version.

A update is dropped now and is worse, things like "feats" in fighting styles didn't show anymore as subcategory of "fighting styles". And you can't see subraces/ancestries entries clicking on it the the character wizard, and they don't add the ASI anymore and do not let you to choose it either. In fact, the ancestry doesn't apply at all.

@Urieldhynne,

It's best to break out any issues that you have into topics with steps to recreate if possible. It makes it easier to make sure we're looking at the same stuff.

Fighting Styles
For Legacy classes, Fighting Styles were never automated in the D&D Legacy books, as they are not feats in the legacy version. Therefore, legacy classes will not see anything to select there.
For D&D 2024 classes, Fighting Styles are a specific category of feat; and a selection is provided when the Fighting Style class feature is added. This works when I tested just now. The recent update just hid the filter that would allow you to incorrectly choose a non-Fighting Style feat.
If you are having an issue with how they are supposed to work, please post the steps to see what you are seeing.

Unable to See Subraces/Ancestries
Not sure what you are referencing here. This appears to be working for PHB Legacy and 2024 subraces/ancestries for me. See attached images.
If you are referring to something else, please post the steps to see what you are seeing.

Ancestry Traits Not Applying
I was able to recreate this; and will be looking at this tomorrow.

Species ASI Not Following Legacy Rules
As far as I can tell, this is working other than the subrace traits not applying (as noted above). We may need more information on what you are seeing here, or steps to recreate.

Yes, is better to break out the issue, sorry my previous post is confusing.

Fighting Sytle.

Yes, is like you said, I get confused testing and I thought it was always this way, but is like you say now and working properly, it shows now correctly with the 2024 module on.


Unable to see subrace/ancestries.

I can't click on the ancestry to see the entry, I click in the name and nothing happen. Normally you can click and see the popup windows with the entry of the subclass/ancestry and see the description.


I have another question that I notice testing around, I notice that I can't choose classes from Tasha's anymore, and I check Tasha's classes and only shows Artificer now. I remember that previously I could choose classes from that module, and it added optional entries from tasha's class features to the character sheet, now you need to load manually the optional features. This seems more like a modification/update to Tasha's module and not something related with this. Is that correct?

Thanks and sorry my english isn't that good and could be confusing too.

I have found the issue and it will be part of the next update for the ancestry issue.

This is correct. Tasha's classes, were removed to help cut down on duplication and to ensure the subclasses were placed in their own record space. The optional features would need further consideration, but for now they would require manual entry.

I see, I hope in some future update the optional features could be added like before or in a similar way.

Well, thanks for all your help!

Edit: Oh my, that was fast. Everything is working fine now!

Attempting to create a fighter with Legacy rules. Cannot select the proper Fighting Style. Defense does not show in the list but a lot of other feats do. When filtering out the choices by typing Def, it only brings up Defensive Dueling.

Fighting Styles are only feats in 2024. They were not available as feats in legacy materials. It was never handled prior to 2024 PHB.

When reviewing your screenshot, I noticed that the Fighting Style in the Legacy classes was incorrectly adding/requiring a feat was is not correct for Legacy. I just pushed an update that should correct that.

2014 Rules, you selected your Fighting Style at Level 1 and had 5 or 6 choices including Defensive, Two Weapon Fighter, Great Weapon Master etc.

But in the down for selecting the Fighting Style it was omitting some choices and offering feats that you couldn't select at 1st level.

This has been updated in the latest version of the ruleset. Please run a new Check for Updates to get the latest.

The current behavior is:
* For 2024 fighting style class feature; you are given a feat selection list that is filtered to only show Fighting Style feats per the 2024 rules.
* For Legacy(2014) fighting style class feature; you are not given any option as this is how the Legacy version always worked, because there was no distinct fighting style records to pull from.

Thanks Moon Wizard. I was clarifying to superteddy57 that you chose the Fighting style at level 1. The effects of that choice was handled through other means like Grim Press's automatic effects.
