D&D 5e Character Sheet: Minor spellbook bugs

I have two small problems. 1. As a wizard, the Spells Known number on the spell dashboard never changes from zero. Other classes seem to work fine. 2. The wiki for the character sheet suggests that using the damage macro for a spell also prints the Additional Effects section to chat. This does not happen for me. (Quote from wiki entry: "Regardless, when using the damage roll macro for a spell, any details entered into the "additional Effects" field that's displayed when the Effects button is toggled, are also displayed.") Neither is ruining my day, but if someone is still fixing bugs for this sheet they could stand to be looked at. :)
Wizards don't get Spells Known, they have Spellbooks, start with 6 spells at 1st level and gain 2 spells per level. They can also scribe new spells into their spellbook from scrolls found while adventuring. So... in short Wizards will never see an increase in Spells Known because they are not specifically limited. The second item you list does not seem to be working as described.
That makes sense. Thanks for the response.

I fixed the bug with the effect text not getting displayed earlier today - <a href="https://github.com/Actoba/roll20-character-sheets/" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Actoba/roll20-character-sheets/</a>... The macro output is changing significantly though with the new roll20 update thats due out shortly anyway but regardless it will be fixed with the next sheet release. :) And Kevin is right on the spells known....theres a distinction between spells known and prepared spells that varies on a class by class basis. Wizards dont "know" spells, they instead prepare spells for use each day from the ones that are listed in their spellbook....the advantage being they can change which are prepared every day. The opposite to that are bards who "know" spells and have them all available to cast all the time (provided they have spell slots free of course) but dont have the ability to change spells as easily. Generally speaking, classes that "know" spells do not "prepare" them....and vice versa. So for each class only one of the "known" or "prepared" fields on the spell dashboard should have a value &gt; 0
