New (2024) Player's Handbook Bugs and New videos

I separated out the weapons page so that Weapon properties and Mastery Properties now have their own pages; these can be linked to a quick slot for easier reference.

Okay, thank you. Did you see the necessity or was it just whining?

I restored Tasha's base class records. Subclasses are still extracted, but this should provide access to the optional features for those classes from Tasha's, as well as provide linkage to the classes for existing records.

Not whining but a QoL thing.

Smiteworks Team,

I've encountered a small bug with the new Fantasy Grounds 5e 2024 Player's Handbook while leveling a War Domain cleric to level 7. Using the drag-and-drop method, I noticed that Fantasy Grounds automatically grants prepared spells for each level based on the character's level and domain bonus spells prepared, which is great.
However, it incorrectly adds bonus spells for spells at level 5-7 spells at cleric level 7, while clerics shouldn't have access to level 5 spells until level 9. This seems to be an issue with how the XML is flagging spell levels during the leveling process. I am not using any extensions or legacy content. I also noticed that languages are no longer added to or prompted for with the expanded 2024 5e rule set, is this to be the case or just a small change or uneccesary function now?
Are we to assume that a number of previous or newer features are hard coded to just "work", or do we need to assume that each build needs to be scrutinized and checked for automation or if it might require some manual syntax to be added in with the 2024 5e PHB rules? It's not easy or consistent to tell or know which processes were inherited, changed, or left out as of now. I realize this integration is new and challenging, but there are so many loose ends for now until the Smiteworks team has time to go through the changes and such.

Thanks in advance

Amazing work guys. Lots of updates this week, not just 5e, you all work so hard to make the best VTT better.

My player remade their ranger last night, and it seems rangers aren't getting spell slots by default anymore in the character wizard and had to be added afterward.

[MakiMaki]

also, both sorcerer and warlock have their subclass "always prepared spells" show up in actions tabs based on total level, not class level. leaving a level 8 sorcerer/warlock with spells prepared that they can't cast and shouldn't yet have unlocked.

Just pushed a hot fix for Paladin/Rogue spellcaster levels when calculating spell slots, as well as script error on Rogue proficiency selection. Please run a new Check for Updates.
