I don't know if this ought to be posted in the Tasha's bug forum, but I'm having a problem and I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.
Maybe I'm just understanding the rules poorly, but the PHB states that "If a character would gain the same proficiency from two different sources, he or she can choose a different proficiency of the same kind (skill or tool) instead" (PHB 125). I understand this as to applying to character creation.
As a gnome, you start with profiency in Tinker's Tools as a racial bonus.
Adding 1 level of Artificer adds profiency to Thieves Tools, TInker's Tools, and one other artisan's tools of your choice. However, when I go to make a Gnome Artificer, it only gives me the profiency in 3 tools: Thieves Tools, Tinker's Tools, and one other. Shouldn't it there be a duplicate selection due to the double Tinker's Tools proficiency?
Have you checked your character builder again? When there's a duplicate proficiency, one of them will turn into a drop-down menu so that you can choose another of the same kind. In your case, it'd either be in the gnome race page or the class page (most likely the latter).
Yes, it simply shows 3 options: two skills and one tool. Nothing is "removed" (as sometimes happens in this situation, I've noticed), and no extra drop down menus exist for me.
Right now, the proficiencies are Thieve's Tools (from class), Tinker's Tools (from class/race), Cartographer's Tools (from background), and Potter's Tools (from class). I should have one more, due to the redundancy, but there's no option for it.

Thanks in advance.

Ah, I see. Then I’d suggest cross-posting this into the bugs forum. Hope it gets cleared up soon.
