I keep getting this

I'm using the "5th Edition (shaped)" sheet from the drop down menu in Campaign Settings.
Ah worked like a charm, thank you.techiecarer said:
Run !shaped-config in your game's chat and a prompt should come up to update the script scheme. Also the API script should generally be used with the latest sheet via Custom.

Is it just something in the two campaigns I am in or is the --spells token macro leaving off cantrips in the chat window listing. Did I miss something with the newer version?

Curious in how people build their own databases.
I know to use this as a template: https://bitbucket.org/mlenser/5eshapedscript/wiki/...
But when you want to add a LOT of monsters or spells, how do you go about it? Do you use something like Notepad ++ or something else? Do you copy the template over and over or do you have other methods to help streamline it a bit? I see that the script has the SRD and the Unearthed Arcana on one line each. Do you do that after your done? Seems like it would be very difficult to try and edit the data that way.
I ask because it would seem to take forever to go monster by monster if you had to just copy the template over and over again. However, this just may be the way to go. If so, then hats off to those who have done it before.

One thing I have to mention for anyone creating a custom database using anything is to double check the proficiencies that you're putting in for the monsters. Sometimes WotC decide to put in a completely random skill bonus that isn't based on the attributes or proficiency bonus of that monster.
If you try to import a monster that you created with a skill bonus that doesn't follow the exact format of either (Proficiency + Ability Modifier) or (Double Proficiency + Ability Modifier), the API script will crash and the imported creature will only partially import (might be missing random actions or traits for example).
Also, if you're importing any monster with spells, double check and make sure all the spells actually imported. If not you'll have to use !shaped-import-spell --spellname to fix it.

Skill bonuses are quite rare, and I would consider either bad math or last minute changes by WotC. In almost all cases it's off by 1. Personally I don't use them due to the bad math - everything should follow the same system. See Math Errors in the MM.

That's a pretty impressive list of errors! Did you compile that?
Kryx said:
As specified on the other thread I need to understand the workflow as there are several ways to prompt ammo recovery. How is it being done?
Holy hell. I only noticed about 20% of that at most when I was going through the MM. You get quite the hat tip from me.Kryx said:

The script, however, does handle them by adding in skill bonuses. If you're experiencing otherwise then opening an issue on the tracker is the best method to resolve the issue.
@Bruno: There is one proficiency bonus in 5e, not multiple. The math errors are the only cases that don't align.
What do you think of using three fields for proficiency?
* Proficiency Bonus
* Skill Proficiency Bonus
* Combat Proficiency Bonus
For compatibility if the last two are empty, the first one is used.
