What's unique about the character? Are any special characters (&^%$#@!*><...) used in the character name or race or any such thing? That's the first thing I would look at.

There were quotes in her name, but I removed them and still had the problem. I'll check her notes and things, see if there is anything else odd.

Oh, and Welcome!

There's a couple things that may have gone wrong.

I try to output error codes in the developers console, so you could try that.

Or, check to see if you published the character as private or public. I've not tested those scenarios.

Lastly, let me know the character number and I'll find out what's wrong and attempt to fix it.


Thanks,


Dave

Code has been updated to account for a sling (others?).

Thanks for letting me know about this problem/failure.


Dave

Ha! That's what he gets for taking a sling.

Thanks for looking at it.

Ok, this might be the coolest thing. Thank you so much! Real talk: Is there a way to kick ya a few bucks to say thanks for doing this?

Arent we all, but they are too confused about how to go about it to connect any functionality to either roll20 or FG...

its an API, you just need to let it call data from the website in as little or large amount as the client_id allows due to DNDB permissions :mad:

@Morduck,

I'm glad you've found this useful. I love D&D Beyond and Fantasy Grounds.

Super awesome project! I was looking through the json that beyond returned for my character and trying to decifer its organization. Would you happen to know if and where the json stores its final totals for skill/saving throw/ability modifiers, including anything added by items or traits? I doubt they'd total them after the fact on the front end.

Thanks again!
