I'm guessing yes, but I haven't been able to figure out the character creator yet. I have an Ultimate license, I've imported the modules Stormlight Handbook and Bridge Nine Adventure, and I'm trying to create the characters for my players, but I haven't found a character generator wizard yet, so I'm using the manual character creation, and I'm stuck. I can't select path, ancestry, expertises, talents, or skills from the modules. For talents, the interface is there to let me make a custom one from scratch, but I can't find any options from the modules. I've found tutorials on Fantasy Grounds for 5e, and I've found tutorials on Cosmere RPG character creation, but not Cosmere RPG character creation in Fantasy Grounds.
If someone has figured this out, could you help walk me through this?

It is just drag and drop creation at the moment. With the Handbook loaded, the Paths, Talents, Ancestry, and Expertise from the various sidebar buttons will populate windows with the handbook data, then you just drag your choices from those windows to the character sheet.

This should help.

Thanks for that. I've made a little progress, now stuck on weapons and trying to figure out why weapon bonuses are not applied to weapon attack and damage rolls.
It took a bit to figure out, but I have a longspear and a shortbow equipped, and I have STR and SPD set (took a bit to find the implied invisible stat editor), and I've confirmed that the associated skills picked up on the bonus, but the longspear and shortbow still roll with no bonus. If I'm understanding the weapon attack rules correctly, the Heave Weapon +7 should grant +7 to attack and damage for the longspear, and the Light Weapon +3 should grant +3 to attack and damage for the shortbow, but instead there is 0 bonus to attack and 0 bonus to damage.
Any idea why?

The longspear and shortbow from the handbook are working fine for me, can you confirm what module your items are from?

Bridge Nine Adventure. I tried equipping a few more items, still no bonus.

Yep, looks like the Bridge Nine items have a typo back from the beta release. I'll fix them up for Tuesday's update, in the meantime, just use the handbook version of those items.

Alright, will do. Thanks for the info
