5e Bug Reports

[Zacchaeus]

It's a new year, so time for a new thread.

Please report below any bugs that you see in any 5e module (Legacy or 2024). Make sure that you give me the module name and where to find the bug so that I can easily track it down. All of the issues noted in the previous two threads have been fixed.

[Tempered7]

Not a bug but D&D 5E Legacy - Book of Many Things: one empty New Story page is left. All the other new story pages in main books are cleaned.

[Zacchaeus]

Oops must have missed that one.

[Shannara]

Minor, but noticed these small typos:

SRD 5.2.1 Magic Items - Ioun Stone - type has a ',' after Item
SRD 5.2.1 Bestiary - Goblin Minion - Notes Section - Habitat has 'Underdar' instead of 'Underdark'
Hobgoblin Captain - Notes Section - Treasure has 'Individul' instead of 'Individual'

Noticed an issue with an image :)

Dragon Delves:
In the images for the Brass Dragon 2024 Concept Art, for some reason part of the image is duplicated. It's not like that in the physical book or on any of the other dragons

I can't see any Brass Dragon concept art for 2024; can you direct me to the page you are seeing this?

Absolutely! Sorry, it's a bit hidden away and I was pretty vague.

Most of the books art is shown under Assets rather than images. For the concept art, its under:
Assets > Dungeons & Dragons Dragon Delves/book

The file is called, Brass Dragon - Concept Art - 2023 - Alexander Ostrowski.04-07.webp


Hope that helps!

This one? Should there only be the one dragon or something? (I didn't develop this one so I don't have the original files).

[hanamcmana]

Yeah that's the one! Each of the other concept arts don't have the adult dragon duplicated, and the original image in the book doesn't have it for the brass either. Not sure what happened but it's a shame because it blocks the face of the sketch behind. And who doesn't love a cute looking wyrmling!

Indeed. Although it's a hulking Elk it uses the Giant Boar stat block. There's no hulking Elk token so I left it as it was.

There's a minor typo in the 5E legacy data (not sure exactly where, the popup Version just says "Legacy").

Metamagic - Quickened (2 sorcerry)

Metamagic - Quickened (2 sorcerry)

Can you narrow it down to a book? Or are you saying it's in the SRD data module?

[jkeller]

I checked all my legacy books (using the search slots), but didn't find anything. It's possible it has already been fixed?

It shows up on one my player's character sheets (an action), so I assume it would have been added when they leveled up their sorcerer. It definitely wasn't manually added or changed.

If I click on the action's link, it brings up this window (which does have the typo):

I suspect that is coming from either an extension or from a module which contains effects or some other source similar to that, or this has been manually added. Your image shows quickened as a spell rather than as an action. In any of the official books (like the PHB) then metamagic is shown as in my graphic. There's no book that adds the text in brackets as in your screenshot.

[jkeller]

I found one more. This is the Herbalism Kit in the D&D Free Rules. It has an extra section (probably copied from the Gaming set).

Carl provided an update which fixes several of these kinds of issues; and we pushed that about 3.5 hours ago.
If you are still having issues after updating, please post a zipped up copy of your campaign and the map that you opened that caused the issue.

Thanks,
JPG

[astromath]

Here's the zipped file. If you open it, it will show the map.

Also, it will produce the bug if I just let it sit idle for a short period of time (~5 minutes, I think).

I've been running the campaign you provided for a while, and the memory usage hasn't budged. Can you try opening the campaign with your extensions off?

[astromath]

I just noticed that when I update, there's a whole bunch of extensions that "cannot be saved" during the update. So, it must be the extensions.

I did test it with no extensions and FG performed as expected.

I guess I have to wait until the extensions are updated themselves. Darn. :( At least one of those extensions (Pets) is invaluable as it gives control of NPC "pets" to the PCs.

[jkeller]

Another very minor typo. There's a extra space in the name of the "Random Magic__Items - Relics - Legendary" table in the DMG (so it sorts out of place).

We probably don't want to fix this one; however, because it would break any links people may have made to it.

[jkeller]

Maybe fix it, but create a "deprecated" table with the current name that links to the correct name?

[Moon Wizard]

It wouldn't break the link; since the link is separate than the display name.

Yes to both. How to change Base AC ?

[jkeller]

You should be able to add a delta in the Misc box (on the right). That's just a work-around, but at least you should be able to get the AC you want.

Could it be related to Fgu-dungeon-master-guide-(legay)-is-missing-magic-items (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?86718-Fgu-dungeon-master-guide-(legay)-is-missing-magic-items)? EDIT: Nope.

Without an extension equipping an item won't do anything as regards changing stats or indeed anything else. You'll need to create any necessary effects in the character's actions tab. So, for example, if the characters AC is 10 without armour (that is assuming no DEX modifier) then you'd need an effect of AC: 5, set to SELF and never expire. Activate the effect when the character is on the Combat Tracker. See the graphic below for all of what you would need to do in the actions tab to make the robe work (without extensions - there are extension which will do all or some of this for you).

[Tempered7]

Thanks Zacc! It works now.

In the FGU 5e 2024 Druid class record, it shows that Druids receive a Feature called "Commune with Nature" at 9th level. I can't find where this is supported in the 2024 PHB. Is this an error, or am I missing where this feature is being granted from?

Yes, it looks like a mistake in the class feature list. I don't know where it comes from. One of the Barbarian subclasses does get this but at level 10. I don't see it in the PHB pdf, and it's not in the PHB errata, nor on the D&D Beyond druid class description. So I'll remove it.

Dragon Delves
Starglass Waypoint

The map grids are neither grid snapped nor point snapped. Upper floor is incomplete. The sinkhole (S24b) does not have the pit LOS lines. The balcony rails are missing.
Since the "doors" are transparent, they should be windows instead of doors. The stairs are also transparent and should use non-toggleable window lines (except the bottom step which should stay open).
The grid walls for the turnstiles are missing. The rubble at S10 is blocking terrain.

Thanks for the report; I've updated all of the occluders in both maps to reflect the correct room descriptions. I can't see anything wrong with the grid, however. It's as close as it can be to the hand drawn grid lines on the map. It's not possible to be pixel perfect with these kinds of maps since the hand drawn grid isn't always straight. As far as I can see the FGVTT grid matches the map grid accurately apart from where the hand drawn grid isn't perfectly straight. Am I missing something?

I'm attaching the images from Dragon Delves. When you go to edit the map in question, you will see my changes.

P.S. I was talking about the occluders, not the grid itself. But you'll see what I mean.

Your module doesn't contain anything (you can't export maps from a module). At any rate if you mean that the wall occluders aren't exactly in line with wall edges that is by design. This was the way occluders were drawn when LoS was first introduced but there were many complaints that doing this meant players couldn't see what was and what wasn't a wall. So for several years now occluders are drawn a little back from the walls so that it's obvious what they are and shows a little of the wall art work to the players. I assume what is shown in the image below is what you mean.

Yeah. That's what I meant. In my games, the players want that "exactness." It makes LOS past the walls more accurate. Due to the nature of how LOS works, there are times when the NPCs should not be seen, but they are.

It seems to be one of those situations where you just can't please everyone.

Indeed. There is an option in the occluders section (bottom right) that allows you to set a 'peek' value. If I remember correctly a value of 0.1 allows tokens to see through the wall occluders to approximately 5% of the grid size. So around 2.5 pixels on a 50px grid. So if you are re-drawing the walls to exactly match the line of the wall a peek through value of maybe 0.2 would be sufficient to be able to 'see' the walls without compromising line of sight on a 50px grid.

Yes, but this scenario hasn't been solved in the current build and something we are still looking to get working. If you see how it looks in the FG, the map is not available in the book (reference manual). So it won't be available in the reader.

Indeed, looks like the last time it was exported (many months ago) the story entry wasn't ticked. I've fixed the issue and an updated module will go out as soon as possible. I don't know if that's the reason why it doesn't appear in My Library or not - I suspect it is but I can't do anything about that, so we'll need to wait for the dev that sorts that kind of thing out to see this.

Creating a module. Closing the module. Then reopening the module. (It doesn't matter if the module is locked or unlocked when reopened.)

When applying a font effect (bold, italic, underline) followed by a non-character mark such as a period or an em dash and that non-character mark is not part of the effect, FG adds an extra space that is part of the effect when the module is reopened.

Examples:
(bold, italic, underline) becomes (bold , italic , underline )
Underlined—Non-underlined becomes Underlined —Non-underlined
Italic. becomes Italic .

They aren't technically wrong. To create magic items Doug used the in built magic item forge to create them (where that was possible); and he wrote some code that would calculate the cost of the item (since previously it didn't). So the code takes the cost of the base item and then adds in the cost of the magic part, which is determined by it's rarity. If the base item cost isn't expressed in gold pieces the cost is worked out by converting the rarity cost to the currency of the base item. In the example that you mentioned the cost of a single needle is 2cp and since the cost of an uncommon item is 400gp, the latter is converted to cp (40,000) and added to the base cost resulting in a total of 40,0002cp. Now when I Q&A'd the book I actually converted a lot of prices into gp (since I wasn't aware of what was happening at the time), and I obviously missed a few. But the prices are technically correct.

[jkeller]

Interesting, thanks for the explanation!

I figured some kind of conversion was going on, since I noticed quite a few strange values like that.

[Griogre]

There are also some things in the 5.2 SRD that are weird like the Staff of Fire and the Staff of Frost. Items where the base value is less than a gold piece so the price is given in hundreds of thousands of silver.

However the bug I came to report is in the 5.2 SRD - "Greatsword [Blackrazor], +3" has a 0 GP value which makes it a common weapon. Blackrazor is an artifact out of White Plume Mountain so it should be "Priceless" and I'm not sure it should be in the SRD at all. I don't see any of the other White Plume Mountain Artifacts in the SRD.

Missing NPC and Scene Artwork – Vecna: Eve of Ruin (FG vs D&D Beyond Discrepancy)

There appear to be multiple instances of missing NPC and scene artwork in the Fantasy Grounds version of Vecna: Eve of Ruin when compared to the D&D Beyond version. After cross-checking the Fantasy Grounds module against D&D Beyond, the following discrepancies were identified:

Chapter 2
Missing NPC artwork:
Makubli Khee
Torkner Ironteeth
Jolera Hartoph

Missing scene artwork:
Image showing the Spider Dragon Ker-Arach with a Yochlol in the background (referenced in the “Next Steps” section at the end of the chapter)

Chapter 3
Missing NPC artwork:
Kycera Duskstride
Ilren
Daveras
Cirit

Chapter 4
Missing NPC artwork:
Kalyth
Mercy
Filch
Landro in his elemental form

Potentially missing scene artwork:
Image referenced in the “An Important Detail” section (collapsed colossus)
Note: This asset may exist but is not easily locatable within the module

I am reporting these differences because Chapter 1 appears to include all of the NPC artwork.

As far as NPCs go the artwork all seems to be there.

We use what is provided by WotC to produce the content. This module was done quite some time ago. When I was making the module, I did go back to earlier modules and try to find missing assets as fill ins for some. So if they are available on DnD Beyond, those might be exclusive to that platform.

2025 MM, Scout Captain; Shortword and Longbow Damage.

The Captain has the ability to make *one* of its attacks with advantage and when the Captain hits with advantage he's supposed of do extra damage. The damage for the weapons is worded so it *always* does the extra damage.

IE for the Shortsword, "Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) Piercing damage, plus 10 (3d6) Piercing damage if the attack was made with Advantage." should be changed to something like: "Melee Attack Roll: +5, reach 5 ft. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) Piercing damage or 6 (1d6 + 3) Piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) Piercing damage if the attack was made with Advantage."

The Longbow has the exact same wording issue too.

[Zacchaeus]

Yep, rewording is the way to go. I'll get that fixed.

[jkeller]

Very minor thing. In the 5E Monster Manual, the Ghost's Horrifying Visage was renamed to Horrific Visage, but the link description still has the old name.

No, it isn't. It's in Chapter 2 Sigil at a Glance. Since you mention it though I've added it also to Chapter 3 Life in the Outlands.

Great! Thanks for that.
There was no Hyperlink in the Chapter 3 'Outlands Poster Map' entry and both maps in Images were labelled Sigil so I didn't look further.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or the Effect error thread. Attached is an error log from the last update. I don't really know how to read it. But there's definitely a bug someplace.

The errors are being caused by extensions. Life Ledger and Jack of All Things. The recent patch I believe has subsumed some of the effects from those but you'd best hunt down the forum threads for the two extensions and report the errors there. It's possible that neither are being updated anymore since the authors haven't been around for a while.

Three Moons Vault Map - Vecna Eve of Ruin 5e Adventure

1. I could not find the player map for this only the room numbered DM version (map 6.3 in Book links to DM map).

2. LOS is missing the door between Area V1 and Area V2. The adventure expects characters to interact with the door.

3. Area V2 the red light effect is cool but not aligned to the walls as expected.

Keep up the good work.

I don't have that module, so can't check.
For #1, current practice is for player and GM maps to be in the same image. Open up the layer dialog, you will find multiple layers, a player (base) layer that has the LOS and such player info. Then you will find a layer above that with it's visibility set to GM only. It will have the GM visible info, but will not be visible to the players.

Okay thanks for the hot tips. I normally replace the black and white maps with a colour version so perhaps that is why.

I checked and the room labels are on a different level.

The door between V1 and V2 is missing. I can see another post where the map is shown missing the door

All the best for gaming fun!

1. The player map and the GM are the same. You would just hide the tags layer to remove the labels, but it's also a GM only layer. So the players shouldn't see it

2. Will be pushed with the next weekly update.

3. I'm not sure I understand about this one. I'm not seeing a red light being attached to that map. Especially in the V2 area.

Not sure if this is missing in the module (can't verify in FG, because I only have access to my phone) or a bug in the online reader. (Brave browser on Android)
Some of the chapter headlines are missing. ("Chapter 4 Summary", 5, 7, 8 etc)
They exist in the printed book version.

Issue with innate spellcasting automation in the combat tracker.

For example. The Lich (5.5E/2024 Monster Manual).

It says it uses the Level 5 version of fireball in the statblock. And that is recorded in the NPC record. But when you add it to the combat tracker, the dice are for the Level 3 version of the spell. I get this might be a tricky thing to make correct (and I think you can just edit the number of dice in place manually after adding it) but there's no indication in the combat tracker at all that the version of the spell the statblock uses is upcast.

Would be nice if:
A) It could automatically do the upcast for you.
B) failing being able to do that (since I get that it might be too difficult for the parser to figure it out all the time for every spell that can be upcast in every 5E flavor), show in the combat tracker that you need to upcast it. Stuff like Hold Person, which increases the number of targets when upcast, would still need some sort of indicator.

I'm doing a conversion of a module that has a statblock or two that includes upcast versions of spells, and I'm looking at the lich as an example on how to do it, so I'll follow its language templates for that, so hopefully when this gets resolved, my conversion will work the same.

[Zacchaeus]

There is no mechanism for automatically upcasting spells. What you can do is add the spells to the NPC sheet (right click -> parse spell actions) and then edit the dice in the spell description to show the upcasted amount.

Will you be doing the same then in the official books (like the monster manual for 2024)?

[Zacchaeus]

Will you be doing the same then in the official books (like the monster manual for 2024)?

Probably not. The way that the spells are set up in the books such as the MM is so that the spells can be pulled from whatever source the user has rather than pinning it to a particular source. I reread your post and realised that you were talking about a conversion you were doing. My advice was for you, as a DM, when preparing for a session involving such an NPC. If you are doing a conversion then leave things as they are printed in the book you are converting. The DM can always drag, right click to add dice, and drop damage strings to get the correct dice roll, or as noted edit the NPC directly.

I will say as a DM (I run a lot of games using FG), unless I go study the statblock, without any indication that the spell that got inserted is wrong, I won't know I need to modify anything, and just assume it's right.

All I'm really asking for at a bare minimum is a way in the combat tracker to show that the spell is meant to be upcast instead of that information being stripped when the monster is added.

DM's kinda rely on what's in the combat tracker a lot, and if it's wrong, the monster is probably going to be nerfed.

[Zacchaeus]

Fair enough, but this isn’t a bug report more a feature request.

[drempel]

Sure, I'll concede it could be considered a feature. The statblock in the combat tracker doesn't match the NPC record (even with official WotC content), but it could be looked at either way.

2024 DMG, Treasure Tables, Extra Items created in parcels when the old 2014 DMG is open

Technically, this is not a bug - but rather an unexpected interaction between the 2014 DMG, the 2024 DMG magic item tables and forged items in the 2024 DMG that causes some items to be doubled up in parcels generated by the 2024 DMG tables.

Individual magic items created by the Forge have the weapon name, then the template name surrounded by square brackets, a coma, and any magic bonus. If you search magic items using "[" in the new 2024 DMG you will find 5 pages of magic items build this way. The way forged items are named is what is creating the interaction.

An example is the first item on the search list: Sickle [Defender], +3. If you go to the "Random Defender Weapon" table in the 2024 DMG and roll on it with the 2014 DMG open you will get two defender items in a parcel. The first item with show the DMG 2024 item name created with the forge with [Defender] in it's name. The second item will show an item without the square brackets.

This is the unexpected interaction, the parcel has two defender items: one from the new DMG and one from the old DMG. What is happening is [Defender] in first item name calls the Defender table in the old DMG since [string] in a table calls the table of the string's name. Since the forge names items consistently and the tables in the old DMG are also named consistently, this is going to happen whenever a forged weapon is generated in a treasure parcel and the old DMG is open.

My suggestion would be that you mass change all the new DMG item names with "[" and "]" removing the brackets and then do the same for the treasure tables.

[Zacchaeus]

I'll need to think about that one.

[Griogre]

You could just take the brackets out of the treasure table entries or change them to parenthesis, still linking to the items with brackets in the names - that would solve it as well. The fact the old DMG didn't use brackets in item names is why I suggested it.

Yeah, sounds like a global search replace would solve the issue but it'll depend on how many other square brackets there are in other places.

[Griogre]

Depending on your editor, you should be able to limit the mass replace to just part of your XML file like in the items.
