D&D 5e 2014 - NPC Skill Rolls - ADVSKILL/DISSKILL Not Working

**rocketvaultgames** · November 1st, 2024, 20:18

in D&D 5e 2014, it appears that NPC skill rolls are not being detected as skills. When a check or save is rolled, in chat the roll is indicated as such ([CHECK] or [SAVE]). Skills don't have a tag (though they do use the correct bonus.

The problem is that skill rolls aren't picking up on ADVSKILL and DISSKILL effects. they do pick up SKILL: n though, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe I'm missing something, but I believe these effects used to work and haven't been changed on my end.

I'm testing in a new fresh campaign with no extensions and only 2014 PHB/DMG/MM loaded, though the same thing happens in an ancient campaign with 100+ extensions.

Thanks for reporting. I'll be pushing a fix on Tuesday for that.

This is working for me. DO you have steps to reproduce?

**rocketvaultgames** · November 1st, 2024, 20:58

My apologies. "ADVSKILL" works... "ADVSKILL: perception" (for example) does not.

Yep, I see that. And I see MW already replied to you.

Not sure if it is a similar issue but ADVCHK also does not work for NPCs in the CT. It does work for PCs.

Using the Shadowdark RPG ruleset, so it may be just there as I have not played 5E in a few months.

This is working correctly in the 5E ruleset for NPCs.

You should report in the Shadowdark ruleset support thread; as that ruleset is supported by third party developers, not directly by us.

Thanks, will post over there now.

"ADVSKILL" and "ADVSKILL: perception" both appear to work correctly after today's update. I still cannot get "ADVSKILL: perception (smell)" to work for PCs nor NPCs (with or without extensions).

I doubt that will ever be a thing
