[5e OGL] Manually adding spells for NPC characters - how to specify level of spell?

Hi I am adding manually some spells for NPCs that aren't in the SRD - some of these spells have extra effects when cast at higher level than base level and adding this seems to work, but the game thinks the spell is always a 0th level spell (that is, if I tell it to cast in a 1st level slot, it adds one lot of the extra damage die per level). Is there any way to manually specify the level of a spell added to an NPC?

Could you explain what you mean, maybe with a screenshot? Sure. This is the spell as I've added it to the NPC's character sheet: <a href="http://puu.sh/ryLax/c22b82fcb2.png" rel="nofollow">http://puu.sh/ryLax/c22b82fcb2.png</a> When I click to cast it, I get this box: <a href="http://puu.sh/ryLcN/5405dc79f2.png" rel="nofollow">http://puu.sh/ryLcN/5405dc79f2.png</a> and when I choose 1st level, I get this roll: <a href="http://puu.sh/ryLdQ/7bae8a82ad.png" rel="nofollow">http://puu.sh/ryLdQ/7bae8a82ad.png</a> As this is a 1st level spell, there should not be a higher level casting bonus here (the game seems to think it is a zeroth-level spell).

In an older version of the OGL sheet the higher level spell cast was asking for how many levels above the spell level you wanted to use. This seems to be acting that way.&nbsp; that behavior was changed as far as I know, so this would seem to be a bug.

Within the NPC sheet, there is only a single column of spell entries with no separation for spellcasting ranks . To prevent confusion, the "Cast at what level?" Roll Query might be renamed, e.g. maybe to "Additional spell slots used?". (FYI, I copied this post over to our sticked thread to increased its visibility to the Dev Team.)
