5e 2024 PHB Dragonborn Breath Weapon - # prepared is zero

[EP Olson]

Updated software, used character wizard to create a 5th level dragonborn using D&D 5e 2024 PHB. Exported character to .xml:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root version="4.6" dataversion="20241002" release="8.1|CoreRPG:6">
<character>
...
<group type="string">Species (Dragonborn)</group>
<level type="number">0</level>
<locked type="number">1</locked>
<name type="string">Copper Dragonborn Breath Weapon</name>
<prepared type="number">0</prepared>
<version type="string">2024</version>
...

The prepared number should be the same as the proficiency bonus.
Same with lucky (starts at 2, but does not match prof-bonus when leveled up in-game), barbarian rage, and other powers.-- the prepared values are not correct.
If I hand edit the xml (adjusting the prepared number) and re-import, then the character sheet looks correct (a 'box' for each prepared power in the Actions menu)

There is no current mechanism to change the number of preparations for a power as characters level up in the character wizard/builder. It's something we would like to improve in the future.

Thanks. I'll adjust the xml when it matters--I don't seem to be able to modify it from the character editor either.
(I'm mostly using the character wizard to populate pen & paper character sheets at this time.)

Not sure if this helps you or anyone else. This code seems to work for me and looks complete.

For reference, this my python function to read the adjusted power's 'prepared' value:

def power_prepared_adjust(pc, power_name):

pc - dictionary class populated from xml with hierarchy flattened with underscores
and lists turned into lists
"""
power_data = pc.get_list_property('powers', name=power_name)
prepared = 0
if power_name in power_prepared_adjustment:
for adj in power_prepared_adjustment[power_name]:
if 'value' in adj:
if adj['value'] in pc:
prepared += max(1,pc[adj['value']])
else:
print(f"Error - PC value POWER {power_name}: {adj['value']} not in pc")
elif 'class' in adj:
class_data = pc.get_list_property('classes', name=adj['class'])
if class_data:
pc_class_level = class_data['level']
prepared += adj['class_table'][pc_class_level]
else:
prepared = power_data['prepared']
print(f"Debug - power adj: '{power_name}': {power_data['name']} prepared={power_data['prepared']} => {prepared}")
return prepared
