[D&D 5e OGL] Magic missile does not propose to launch at higher level

Hello, Magic missile doesn't seem to be launchable at higher level, it always laucnh at level 1, the "higher level?" box doesn't show up. Tried deleting the spell and re-importing it from the compendium, didn't work. Tried adding damage in the "higher" section of the spell, box still doesn't show up. Is it normal since it's different from the other spells (see wiki) on how it was handled ?

Hi Loupaile, The Magic Missile spell is an odd duck to begin with, and has considerable variation in actual play. The Magic Missile entry on the wiki guide to the 5th Edition OGL by Roll20 sheet may help. Feel free to post back if this does not address your specific issues.

Yes, I saw that, it affect the character sheet so that you can't launch it at higher level than 1. The "higher level?" box doesn't show up if I don't add damage to the "higher level" part of the spell. Is there a way to get the "higher level?" box to show up while leaving blank in the "higher lvl cast damage" ? So that it roll 1 times for all darts but still use a higher level spell slot and not a level 1 spell slot.
Found a way so that it roll 1 times for all darts but still use a higher level spell slot and not a level 1 spell slot. You have to add a 0 in the higher lvl cast damage and choose any roll. An easy fix, the higher lvl cast damage doesn't even show up since it's 0, the higher level box will show up and it will use the spell slot chosen.

That's an elegant solution! You should add it to the wiki page.
posted it to the bug post of the 5e ogl character sheet
