5E Character Wizard Overview and bug reports

[Lo Zeno]

Yes, that's something that we are working on now. There are several class "feature choices" that were added to the PHB classes in 2024. We already have it working for drag and drop; and Dominic is currently working on that capability for the CW.

I just purchased fantasy grounds unity yesterday.

Creating a character using the character wizard for 5E 2024, I have yet to purchase the players handbook so I’m using the free rules for now.

When it comes to language selections, it seems like I can only choose draconic when I am dragonborn not on any other species.

Thank you.

Dragonborn isn't even a possible species selection from the Free rules; Draconis is a possible language selection from the Legacy rules but again Dragonborn isn't a possible race selection. So I'm not sure what you are using. But Draconic is not a possible language selection for any species in the 2024 rules. Someone noticed this and commented on one of my YouTube videos and it has been passed on to the developers.

Hello people!

Yesterday I was playing around with the Character Wizard for 5E 2014 (Legacy). There are two things that I'm confident could be done in the past and that now are not possible, namely:

- Selecting ASI a-la-Tasha for PHB races (allowing a Rock Gnome to take a +1 Dex instead of Con, for example);

- When selecting spells, I could not filter them per level, e.g. separate Cantrips from 1st-level spells;

I can't provide screenshots right now as I'm in the office but I will be able to post them later if required.

I took a screenshot of the 5E 2024 players handbook. I had purchased it on D&D Beyond. It does list draconic as a possible language selection.

Indeed, it's already been reported and fixed. An update will go out tomorrow.

Hello,

We've been having a few issues creating an Aasimar Protector - Noble - Wizard
Like nexos I'm also unable to filter spells by level.

When selecting the 'Noble' background
The language selection drop down is gone, "One of your choice" appears under languages on the char sheet.
The Tool selection drop down is gone and nothing is added to the char sheet

Background features are not appearing in the Features section on the Abilities tab.
For example Retainers & Position of privilege from Noble.
(this maybe affecting all backgrounds)

Aasimar Protector has the 'radiant soul' ability.
On the actions tab the default coding is adding CHA to the damage roll (like a celestial warlock), rather than adding LVL.

The 'radiant soul' effects are added to the character sheet at L1 even though they are not available until L3.

Recreation:
Create a new 5e campaign, no extensions
load phb / volos guid (these are the 2014 Legacy versions)
set Game:Rules Version = Legacy

Create a new char using the char wizard.
Race: Aasimar sub race: Aasimar Protector
Class: Wiz Background: Noble

@Nexos,
Thanks for reporting.
* We're still figuring out how we want to re-add in the Tasha's option for Legacy species in the CW with all of the changes under the hood.
* Looking into the missing filters for CW spell selection.

@Lazarus1485,
Thanks for reporting.
* Looking into the language issue on 2014 backgrounds (Noble).
* I did see the Tool Proficiency drop down in my local version I'm working on; but I'll double check after I look at the others.
* Looking into missing features for 2014 backgrounds on the PC sheet.
* Will fix the Radiant Soul to match the Aasimar version for now. Issue is that Celestial Warlock has alternate version that is different. Will have to look at that one later.
* For level-based racial abilities, we do not have a way to add racial abilities at later levels; so all racial abilities are added to the PC sheet at L1. The player will need to look at the feature.
