Release 19 - Information and feedback

The character this happened to in my game was a Witch from the APG. Both the Druid and Wizard were populated correctly though.

Yep, a witch will need to have their spell proficiencies manually set at this time. I hope to get some more documentation around this created over the next couple of weeks.

We didn't expect this, and it completely threw everything off. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm getting a bit tired of loading up software I use regularly and finding it full of changes I didn't ask for that break functionality of what's already there.

Hi Trenloe,
First the activities tab is awesome. The update takes some time but well worth the wait.
I encountered an issue however with combat targeting. My group was fighting against a large creature but instead of being able to attack a creature square with 5ft they had to be on top for the creature. Otherwise, it would say it’s attaching out of range. Not sure if this is a unique issue or not. I know this happened be fore with a large update a few years ago.
Again I love the update and you guys are the best. Best tabletop RPG product out there with really responsive people.

With a mind to this, I maintain what I've stated before - that for clarity and compatibility reasons, if a spell class can't find an appropriate proficiency, it should really default to the DC and proficiency set in the spell class itself, rather than to 0.

I am having some issues with the combat tracker. The NPCs used to show their reactions when it wasn't their turn, now they are only showing their attacks, not their reactions. Many times when a non active character gets a new effect, it doesn't show up on their list under their hps, etc. Also, when they do gain an effect, I have to toggle the effects button on and off to see them. When I get back to them in the next round, they disappear again.

What happened to the buttons at the header of the combat tracker that would open up all the characters details, like attacks or effects? That was really helpful.

This is almost certainly extension-related. I had the same issue and it was an extension causing it. (In my case, the Clock Adjuster extension)

As mentioned by MaxAstro - this is more than likely an extension causing this.

That was removed in the core product a few months ago.

R19 brings in range calculations for ranged attacks. Is the weapon being used for the attack a ranged weapon or a melee weapon? If it's a melee weapon, check that the M/R icon in the actions tab hasn't been accidentally clicked to make it a ranged weapon with range 0.

I have removed all extensions and still get the same result -- when I drag a character from the Character Selection on to the combat tracker none of their effects show up and the PC button doesn't exist. If I exit the game and load it back up everything looks fine.
