Pulling Monsters from the Compendium Pulls a Blank Character Sheet (2014)

1731640809

Edited 1731641099
NPC creature sheets come up as blank PC character sheets. 1) Play in a jumpgate game as the DM 2) Look up the fire giant (fire giant should not be a monster in the game yet) 3) Attempt to pull the fire giant from the compendium into the game Result: The sheet created for the fire giant is a blank Player Character Sheet. Expected: The sheet created should be an NPC sheet with stats for the fire giant.

Hi DM Raven,  I was not able to replicate this. When I pulled the Fire Giant into the game from the compendium it populated the NPC sheet correctly. Which browser are you using?

It sounds like your game might possibly be set to use the PC view of the sheet as the default. If you go to the settings view of said sheet (click the gear icon button), and click the box to make it an NPC, does it display correctly?
I am having the same issue, in all browsers. The same thing happens when going to a purchased adventure map and clicking on the pre-existing token. The sheet that opens is the 2024 "Create a Character" page. I do have the NPC option set to the 2014 sheet, but that only seems to make a difference when creating sheets from scratch.
Let me add that the information is there - because the token presets are correct, and the bio page is correct.

DM said: Let me add that the information is there - because the token presets are correct, and the bio page is correct. The module was built with the 2014 sheet. There is not yet a conversion path for existing 2014 monsters to 2024 sheet. (There is for a compendium drag, but not for converting a creature already in existence in the game). My recommendation for modules is to create the game with the 2014 sheet, and add the 2024 sheet in-game.

DM Raven, Can you post a screen shot of what the sheet looks like when you pull in a monster that is not already in the game?
Was unable to change the sheet to an NPC sheet using that button (nothing happened when I selected NPC)

Something is definitely going wonky there. I'd be happy take a first hand look if you want to PM me an invite and bump me up to gamemaster. Otherwise, I'd suggest capturing a  Console Log ( Chrome , Firefox ) from the time of a failed drag, and send that to the team in a  Help Center Request .
