D&D Character Builder: Level Up Release

Bug Report. Good day.  When a character has the Magic Initiate feat multiple times for the same class, say Wizard, the spell selection screen of the level up process duplicates the spells selected for both instances of Magic Initiate.  It appears to appropriately put the originally selected spells on the sheet, but during the level up process it only shows one set of spells for both Magic Initiate sources instead of your original selections for each.

Beacon is so alien to the Roll20 Architecture that I don't know if it will ever be able to do what I can do with the 2014 sheet. But, perhaps someday it'll reach parity. Who knows? The 2024 sheet can import both, so 2014 could.  By using 2014 sheet a lot of free expertise and time could be available to sort issues. This. Read source. Drop data. If something needs to sit in between to massage the 2024 content onto the 2014 sheet so the 2014 sheet does not need to be further modified, so be it. It requires extra coding to convert the new format, but it had to have taken less time than what we are currently waiting for. We would have been able to use both existing and new content together in a game now  while waiting for the new 2024 sheet. Roll20 made two decisions that I feel did not put their customers first. Roll20 did not make a fully functional sheet before worrying about automating the character building experience. We could not make a working character sheet that handled all the options we are supposed to be able to use with 2024 on day 1 of the 2024 PHB. Instead, features are slowly being rolled out, sometimes available automated before they can be done manually. When the 2024 sheet was not going to be ready on time, making the 2024 content be droppable on the 2014 sheet would have provided the customers with a fully working character sheet while waiting for the new 2024 sheet. Without at least one of those two options completed so a fully-functional character sheet was available for all content, what was the point of buying the compendium expansions on Roll20? You can manually type in everything on the 2014 sheet, but you can do that with the 2024 content coming from anywhere, not just Roll20. Instead, we are in a state of limbo. It has been 5 months. When are we going to be able to drag and drop all our Roll20 2014 and 2024 content, have all of our scripts work, and manually enter the homebrew stuff on one character sheet? When the 2024 SRD comes out? The one-year anniversary of the 2024 PHB? 2026? I really want it to be by the end of the month, but I am not hopeful. I would love to be proven wrong.

I think you might have missed a sentence in there:  "The D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet is a mess on the back end, trying to update it to handle the 2024 Compendium content would probably go badly." It probably would not be an update to the 2014 sheet to handle the 2024 compendium data. It would be a brand new 2014 sheet, created from scratch.  To clarify here, I 100% agree we should have a 2014/2024 sheet in the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 style. I just don't think it could have been the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet.

It is proprietary. 

Yeah they changed it sometime in last 6 years as was public Edit: Custom sheet does import 2024 stuff - same as 2014 stuff

Help please! I want to start a campaign but it keeps saying&nbsp; This listing is not being shown because a LFG listing requires the "Total players needed" field to be filled out. Set the total number of players needed (including the GM) in order to show the listing. What should i do or how should i do it?

On LFG simply fill in the entries Playing D&amp;D 5E Next Game Will Be Unknown Total Players Needed Click to enter number of players needed... Enter the total number of players needed (including the GM), we'll automatically subtract the number currently in the game to determine how many to advertise for.

It's a weird little GUI quirk of Roll20, this question has been asked many times. It's hard to see the place to click. Click Looking for Players (Inactive) &gt;&nbsp; Click Manage Listing &gt;&nbsp; Look for Total Number of Players &gt;&nbsp; Click the number, the actual number itself. If it says "4" then click the "4" and you can change it to 5 or 6 or more.&nbsp;

Hey, just wanted to clear up any lingering apprehension about this, there is no intention for us to force the sheet on anyone. The previous Fifth Edition sheet (and the plethora of community sheets) will remain available for users as they always have been. W ill you allow 2024 compendium to imported to 2014 sheet? Block should only apply where no 2014 equivalent
