Character Creation Issues - 2014 Ruleset

[aboxber]

I'm trying to create 2014 characters for a campaign. Suddenly we are prohibited from selecting skills, languages and some of the equipment options in Character Creation Wizard. Also, "Races" has been replaced with "Species." Is there a way for me to deactivate the new ruleset? I can't figure out if it is creating conflicts or if the new ruleset has created a bug in the 2014 rulesset. I've deactivated the module for D&D Free Rules. Can't figure out what is going on.

Hi, go to Options --> Game, and find "Game: Rules Version" and make sure it is set to Legacy, not 2024. Races will still show as Species however.

I have it set to Legacy, but the character creation wizard is giving us fits tonight.

Well, I just did a test with a fighter, and had no trouble with skills, or equipment. Do you have any extensions loaded? If so, disable them and try again, some extensions have not been updated.

[aboxber]

Okay, will try that. I think all I have are some of the base Twohy mods. Thank you.

As they always say, use extensions at your own risk, and never run an update just before a game.

Is there a mod that anyone knows about that will change "Species" back to "Race" on the character sheet? Using 2014 5E not 2024.

Here's one I whipped up a while ago. In my mind, the strings don't really matter that much to me or my players; and only 1 other person has even asked in the last 8 months.

That worked perfectly! Thank you very much.

Good Day Maleioch and Moon Wizard :)
Many Thanks! I hated the changes but never thought to ask!! :)

I'm wondering why this isn't implemented when you choose "Legacy" 5E during campaign creation? I would assume that Legacy mode would imply that even the text strings would remain Legacy. I had chosen legacy when I created my campaign (first time in 6 years) and was confused when I saw Species instead of Race. I thought I had done something wrong or that it was broken.

I thought the language changes with Tasha's, which is 'legacy'. But does it really matter? If they had been called "origins" in Holmes we would be used to that term.
