[5e OGL] Syntax error when doing skill checks from the 5e OOGL Character Sheet

Only one of my player character's gets this error when trying to roll for a skill check like perception: SyntaxError: Expected "(", ".", "[", "abs(", "ceil(", "d", "floor(", "round(", "t", "{", [ |\t], [+|\-] or [0-9] but end of input found. Everything else like attack rolls, saving throws and initiative works. Tools don't work either. It just started acting up suddenly in the middle of a test session.

To begin troubleshooting, what does the Text Chat return when you selected your player's Token and then copy/paste/enter @{selected|d20}+@{selected|perception_bonus}@{selected|pbd_safe}?

We've seen similar errors and defects a lot lately - specifically, if there isn't an initialization value of zero, it is being set as "undefined" - so it fouls so many calculations until you put in a number for global saves, global AC bonus, global damage bonus, and toggle on and off a number of settings just to get zeroes in where there are undefined values. This happened for  us with weapon attacks, spell attacks, and passive perception.

That's pretty odd, Brendan B. My guess is (was) that an Attribute used within a roll may have somehow been either set to an empty value, or a duplicate Attribute was added to the sheet. I would next try and see if @{selected|global_skill_mod} throws a syntax error.

That was the result when I clicked on the token and then pasted your suggestion into chat.

Okay. Add a 0 to the Global Skill Modifier field, and your issues should be resolved. I'll make a post in the sheet's main thread about this issue.

Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome!
