I just made my first max level character using the character creator and I ran across a few things I am not able to sort out. The character in questions is Half-elf drow, vengeance pally 6/hexblade warlock 6/bard college of swords 8. Feats are Elven accuracy, great weapon master, and sentinel. Stats Str 13, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 8, Wis 10, Cha 20.
Here's what I'm not able to figure out:
I have two 5th level spell slots and one 6th level spell slots, I'm not high enough in any of my classes to have any, I suspect this is based on combing my Pally and Bard levels per the multi-class spell slot formula.
My bardic inspiration is listed as D6 however it should be D8 based on my bard level of 6. I assume the header does not update possibly?
When selecting spells for my other classes it doesn't tell me if I have already learned the same spell from another class. I had to do a lot of doubling back to make sure I hadn't already selected a spell. Plans to change this?
I can equip full plate even though my Str is only 14 and 15 is required, there was not warning or red text etc. to indicate this wasn't allowed.
My initiative shows as +5 however I have no other bonuses aside from my Dex mod which is +2.
Yes, the spell slots are using the formula explained in the Multiclassing section. My bardic inspiration is showing a d8. +5 Initiative is due to Jack of all trades.
Thank you for the quick response! It now appears that my bardic inspiration header is accurate, odd but I'll take it. I didn't realize jack of all trades bumped initiative too, good to know as it's not explicitly stated it applies to that. Any idea on if they plan to use some indicator if you already know a spell from another source? Sort of like what they do with proficiencies?

This is because you are allowed to wear it, it just decreases your speed. See:
"Heavy Armor. Heavier armor interferes with the wearer's ability to move quickly, stealthily, and freely. If the Armor table shows "Str 13" or "Str 15" in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer's speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score."
Nice catch Mellie, that does explain how I could equip it, unfortunately it didn't adjust my speed accordingly so still appears to be an issue with that piece. I appreciate all the responses, thank you both.

Appreciate any info on these questions.
Thank you
I tried to replicate your character.

The Strength requirement is an actual flaw.

Nope, I do not know. Although, I can guess that the character sheet revamp will do improvement in the spellcasting section as well.
