Treasure Table Output locked to Chat

[Baybans]

Greetings All,

I'm currently creating an adventure and previously when using the treasure tables I could change the output to Parcel whereas now it seems to be locked to Chat. is this a bug that has happened and is being looked at?

Kindest Regards

Can you be more specific? What ruleset? Which tables? What moule(s)?

[Baybans]

Hi Zacchaeus,

Yes very sorry, it's the 5E Ruleset, Treasure Tables (any of them). I'm using the Dungeon Master Module (although I have all of the modules loaded).

[Zacchaeus]

Yes. The tables in the DMG are now read only due to a change in the way the modules is created. You can either make a copy of the table and edit the copy or create your own table which calls the DMG tables.

However, because it has become apparent that this read only status is not convenient and useful (particularly when it come to treasure parcel generation tables), this was stated on another thread on the matter:

We recently revisited the decision to make modules read-only and we have decided to reverse this direction. There are mostly just some technical issues to work through in order to make them unlockable and editable now that they are already out in the wild. We also want to make sure we pair that change with other updates that make it easier to revert changes you may have made to individual records and possibly even to un-delete items.

So, yes, for the time being they are read only, but that aspect will go back to the way it was soon.
