Official Star Trek 2d20 Bug Report Thread

This isn't so much a bug, as an inconvenience. The damage entry for star ship weapons is missing and needs to be edited in. The inconvenience, is that with few exceptions the ships are locked - only my ships included with the Deep Space Nine Characters DLC were unlocked. So, that means duplicationg an existing ship to make a copy and then editing it. I'm wondering if newer GMs are even aware of the [Duplicate] button, that you can create copies via drag & drop and that copies are automatically unlocked.

Anyhow...Would it be possible for ships to be unlocked by default?

Core rulebooks and supplements are locked by design and adventures are editable.

Oh darn, was afraid of that. Looks like duplicating and then editing in damage, is the only possibility.

I found a bug in the Star Trek Adventures 2e module under "Ship Actions" at the point "Custom Action." When you select Disc/Dep Science in the first section, in combination with any Att/Sys, you always get the following error: [11/29/2025 9:16:52 AM] [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "..rek Adventures 2d20:..ger_action_task.lua"]:208: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value).

All other combinations work, but as soon as Disc/Dep Science is selected, the error message appears. It also seems to occur only with the Custom Action.

Can confirm - seeing the same error.

Additionally, seeing the following issues with Custom Ship Actions:

• It looks like the target number for the Ship's Assist is being ignored and all 3 dice are rolling against the Character's target number.
• The chat box shows that the ship roll has focus applied (correctly), but it does not appear to be recording 2 successes when rolling under the relevant ship Department value.
• When the Focus option is applied to the roll, all 3 dice appear to be using the player character's Department value to determine 2 successes instead of the ship's assist role using it's Department value.

Ruleset: 2E

Issue: Player character attack damage is adding their Security value to the attack damage, even when no Department selected. Changing to other Departments adjusts the value added to damage but no Department selected seems to be defaulting back to Security.

To reproduce:

• Drag and drop a weapon from Items to character inventory.
• Set weapon to equipped.
• Edit weapon options on "Actions" tab to set Department to "-".
• Attack still adds Security value to attack damage.

Also, a nice to have would be if the Department modifier to damage was set to nothing by default when the 2E ruleset is selected.

Ruleset: 2E

Issue: When dragging an NPC ship to the Party Sheet to create a new Party Ship, Resistance and Torpedo damage don't appear to be populating correctly. See attached screenshot (NPC ship used to create party ship on right) - the Resistance values don't match and Torpedo damage and weapon qualities did not make it to the Party Ship.

Can you export the NPC ship record and post here for me to test with?

Both fixes look good. Can't export single ship records like NPCs - here's a module with just the ships.

Thanks, got the module, removed it to ensure it's not being distributed.

"Thank you, MassSailor, for confirming the bug. I’m still new here and just trying to help make sure everything runs smoothly. Maybe you can cross‑test this as well, but I have the impression that all melee attacks are being rolled at Difficulty 2 instead of 1—unless I misread the rulebook."

"There it stated, in my opinion, that all melee attacks are always rolled at Difficulty 1—except of course when effects come into play, which I’ll leave aside for now. But even if I roll a success, the system chat tells me 'Failure,' and actually it should display 'Success' when the roll succeeds, shouldn’t it?"

I read the rules the same way. Ran a few attacks (see screenshot) and seeing the following issues (1E and 2E):

Attack #1:
-Melee attack (Unarmed Strike) being treated as ranged. At least, I assume that's what ATK (R) is showing. Should be a melee attack w/ Difficulty 1.

Attack #2:
-Melee attack (Unarmed Strike) same as above in addition to second die is not recording what should be a success. TN 16 vs a roll of 7.

Attack #3
-Ranged attack (Phaser Type-2) - looks good

Attack #4
-Ranged attack (Phaser Type-2) - same as Attack #2, the second die should show a success (TN 15 vs a roll of 8).


It looks like 2 issues:

• All attacks are being treated as ranged.
• The last die rolled is always failing unless it is a critical success. Seeing this whether rolling 2 dice or 5.

Related request: when looking at this - would it be possible to have the Difficulty selector (if a value is selected) override the Melee/Ranged default Difficulty? Both Melee and Ranged attacks can be opposed tasks, where the Difficulty is situational and set by the target.

Pushed an update to address this issue. Still looking over the ship drop to the partysheet @MassSailor

That fixed the issue with all attacks being ranged. Now seeing melee attacks w/ difficulty of 1 and ranged w/ difficulty of 2.

Still seeing an issue with the last die rolled always failing (unless a critical success).

Related request: when looking at this - would it be possible to have the Difficulty selector (if a value is selected) override the Melee/Ranged default Difficulty? Both Melee and Ranged attacks can be opposed tasks, where the Difficulty is situational and set by the target.

I'm not quite understanding what you mean by last die roll. I looked at your image and 2 were melee and 2 were ranged. Ranged is a 2 difficulty and you only got 1 success. So it is a failure from what I'm seeing. The difficulty can be changed using effects. This is in terms of the attack and set in stone difficulties from the rules. For others with a variable difficulty the desktop buttons can adjust that difficulty.

Ah, I see what you mean about the second die not being factored correctly for the TN of the attack roll. I pushed another update to resolve this issue.

Weapons damage matches the NPC ship now.

Shields and Resistance are not using the NPC ship values if they differ from how they would be calculated when constructing a ship.

• Shields are calculating correctly per the rules (Structure+Scale+Security) but not using NPC ship value if it differs.
• Resistance isn't calculating correctly for 2E - should be 1/2 Scale + modifier from Structure & Resistance Table.

They won't use the NPC ship values and will use the PC ship calculations. I'll see about having it calculate based on the setting.

Pushed fix to have those calculations dependent on option for game version.

I hope this is the right place for this:

In the 2nd Edition Starter Set Rules, the Major Actions Reference chart is labeled Minor Actions.
In the same chart, under FIRST AID, the first Daring + Medicine callout is not bolded.

Attachment 68042

In the same set, the Pregen characters have no portraits, and throw an error when imported.

Thanks for the report - a fix has been uploaded for Smiteworks to review & release.

Heya folks,

I am unable to set an NPC role on the Party Sheet. Open the options, set the role, close it - it remains as "Passenger", for James T. Kirk. The rest are PCs.


Thanks!

Will have a look at it when I have a chance.

Heya folks,

Checking to see if this is correct: Of the 17 new ship frames in the Star Trek 2e Game Toolkit, only one of the ships has actually been built and added to the available ships? I have to build out each of these myself if I want to use them?

Seems remiss for a $50 purchase.

That one ship is not a frame. It is a special escort shuttle. It is a special ability of the Odyssey frame. An dedicated fighter that drops off the mothership when required. It also happens to be the only ship with stats in the tool kit.

Have a look at the core rules section 5.3. Frames. The toolkit adds 17 frames to expand this section.

What it does do is add a whole bunch of new ships like core rules section 11.3. It is very much aimed as player support aid and therefore does not have a NPC ships section.

I'm sorry, I beg to differ. Each frame comes with stats for the ship. In all of the 1st Edition FG conversions that have new frames, the class ship or the most famous of each frame are built and available for use without having to make them. Literally every new frame has a stat block.

Nope.

Again look at core rules. There is no NX class Enterprise ship stats in core rules. Just the frame.

I appreciate your effort to justify not including the NPC ships in this content.

I am not asking about the 2e Core Rulebook; I am asking about the Game Toolkit product.

I am asking the developer if the non-inclusion of this material is intentional or not, because it has been included in nearly all past products, including updating many of those products to have 2e versions of the NPC ships. Unless you are the developer, you cannot answer this question, and are just producing additional noise in this channel.

Using the 2e Ruleset, adding a weapon to an NPC either by drag and drop or coding it directly gives the Attack a TN = 0, instead of the selected Attribute and Department. Tn in the picture should be 14, not 0.

Thank you for the report.
