Hi,

Was just setting up an instance of freshly updated FG for a new campaign and went to create a new character (not using the Wizard) which threw up these errors:

[6/4/2026 4:32:08 PM] [ERROR] Handler error: [string "5E:scripts/manager_char_encumbrance_5E.lua"]:78: attempt to compare number with nil
[6/4/2026 4:32:08 PM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "5E:scripts/manager_char_encumbrance_5E.lua"]:78: attempt to compare number with nil

This was in a campaign with minimal extensions and only base rules, plus Wild Beyond the Witchlight modules loaded. To rule any of these being the issue I set up a new 5e campaign with no extensions and no modules yet loaded for testing and the result was the same in both 5e 2024 and Legacy.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,

Simon

p.s just to add that these errors popped off when hitting the 'Add Item' button in the 'Character Selection' window
