5E Character Wizard Bug Reports

[DCPye]

Hey,

For some reason the character wizard on all my campaigns now shows this for the human race option:

If I select the other option:

I did just buy the Curse of Strahd module and downloaded several extensions but it is happening on old campaigns, new ones with or without extensions. It won't let me move on with the wizard until I select one of these options.
Any idea what it could be causing this or is this a bug?

This is normal behavior has the human gets a +1 by default to every ability. So I'm not sure what the issue is that you are facing.

The Default is the default Human, which as Teddy says is +1 to every attribute and no choices. Option 2 is the Variant Human, where you get +1 to 3 abilities and a bonus feat.

Well default Human is a bit goofy in that regard as the second option really shouldn't be used for base Human. It doesn't really follow the idea for the Tasha changes.

There's something for you to consider... are folks going to be able to create using both the original PHB methods and the new Tasha's approach?

We are brainstorming changes to the Wizard for the old and new data. Nothing solid yet to implement.

Edit:

Let me clarify, that currently the way the CharWizard factors things, is the default button will search the race/subrace record you have chosen and see if it provides a default ability score increase. If so, then it will create a selection window with that ability score chosen with the proper increase. If multiple ability score increases match the increase they become also selected. This then allows you to swap the defaults for whatever you would like them changed to. This follows Tasha's of swapping increases. With the new Race records from the newer supplements, they don't provide defaults. Then it reverts to the one +2 and two +1 choices in default. The reason I say the PHB Human doesn't benefit from Tasha is because there is no swapping as the human race gets a +1 to every ability score. Nothing to swap. The second option also will make you lose ability score increases. So it might need a special case for it not to show the second option.

Ah this makes more sense. The variant-human and human race were merged into one rather than being separate. I only recently updated my Fantasy Grounds when I bought the new module so I guess this was an update that happened rather than something with what I downloaded or the character wizard glitching out. Okay, cool cool.
Maybe I've missed an actual dnd change or just terrible memory, wasn't variant human +1 to 2 ability scores in the past?

Yeah this makes sense as to what I was wondering. There's no way to toggle these changes are there? It just came out of left field after updating and feels a bit clunky at first look at it. I feel like there should be a way to turn the Tasha's options off but understand if that's a bit too much work for literally just selecting "default" and not messing with the ability scores past that.

[superteddy57]

Human and Human-variant are not merged. They are still two separate records. There is nothing to turn off. There is no need to turn off Tasha as clicking on default will provide you with the default ability scores. What is available is the ability to swap the choices for your ability scores. This is what Tasha introduced. So you could go with the default or decide to change them based on the ability score increase. As for base Human, clicking on default provides the correct ability score increases, just nothing to swap. Human just needs to have the second option removed when chosen.

[LordEntrails]

Ah, sounds lie I was wrong on variant vs default.
