5e Charactermancer Errors

I was playing my campaign I am running with my friends, and am using the Charactermancer as it good for newer players to not miss things when they level up. That being said I have come across 2 issues so far. 1 The Fighter class Champion feature that increases crit range doesn't get added properly, which when I noticed I went to fix in the actual weapon. 2 A 6th level ranger in my party was prompted to take a level 3 spell, which he took as fireball, We have since removed it but in the heat of combat I was unwilling to stop for a ruling against something he took because of the charactermancer. I have also noticed that it prompts wizards to pick 2 new spells every level instead of the 1 from the book, but figured that might be intentional.

There is a thread specifically for reporting issues with charactermancer or the D&D 5th Edition by Roll20 sheet, but I'll take a stab here. If you post in the other thread, it is more likely to be noticed by the devs, since that thread is the one they curate.

1) Crit Range. There is no universal crit range attribute on the sheet, and it would be difficult to implement to account for edge cases. A fighter who has added Magic Initiate for instance would not get to use the feature on Fire Bolt. It must be added manually, with human judgment.

2) There is a long reported bug with spells not filtering correctly at different levels of the charactermancer. I feel your pain here.

3) This is correct. Wizards do add 2 spells per level to Spells Known. From the PHB:

Each time you gain a wizard level, you can add two wizard spells of your choice to your spellbook

Character sheet and Charactermancer problems go into the the D&D 5th Edition by Roll20 thread. Compendium and established WotC content go into the Wizards of the Coast Bug Report Megathread. Newer products enjoy their own dedicated feedback thread for a while. There's a Bug & Feedback Thread Repository that theoretically guides users which one to post in, but it is woefully out of date.

Thanks for the response sorry I put this in the wrong spot.

You're perfectly fine. And there's not really a problem with putting it here. Other users (or even possibly a dev) might have an answer and post here. You'll just have a better chance of a dev seeing it on the curated thread.
