My group just started a 2014 campaign. Many of us are struggling creating a character in DNDB with 2014-only rules. I've noticed a discrepancy and I'm hoping someone knows the answer...
I have a Hill-Dwarf with battleaxe proficiency. Another player is an Elf with Light Crossbow proficiency. My character sheet does not show the new "Mastery" icon, but the other player's does: https://imgur.com/a/RSGTw5G
There isn't a 'Legacy' version of the Battleaxe that I selected. It even lists 'Topple' in the weapon's notes. Despite this, I don't see Topple listed under Actions in the same way the other player's Slow ability is.
I want to understand what is happening so I can advise the other player on how to change that.
That icon is only shown when the character has a feature that lets them select a Weapon Mastery and has selected that weapon. The character on the right must be using a 2024 feature; perhaps they selected the wrong Rogue class.

Still have this happen and can't find an answer for it and I don't quite understand the answer here with selected weapon mastery. It does not matter which class I create under the newest rules, only the Rogue shows those stars like in the screenshot and has those special properties listed under the Actions which is pretty helpful for newer players. But on every other class, it does not matter what I select, those mastery stars are not shown. It's just as described and shown by JStrior. The property is listed with the weapon but nowhere else.
Is there still a bug? Is there help? Or a more eloborate answer perhaps? Cause if you click the item there is also no customization for "mastery" that we could toggle to activate that manually to show.
The character is of a class that gets access to the Weapon Mastery trait (Barbarian, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue) or the character has taken the Weapon Master feat
As part of the Weapon Mastery trait or Weapon Master feat the character has selected an appropriate weapon for that feature to unlock the Mastery trait of
The character has the corresponding weapon equipped.
For example this Barbarian character has the Weapon Mastery trait with the following weapons selected:
Greataxe (Cleave)
Handaxe (Vex)
However, they have the following weapons equipped:
Greataxe
Handaxe
Dagger
The dagger doesn't display the weapon mastery star because the character hasn't selected that weapon as part of the Weapon Mastery trait
