I'm creating a stat block for a Paladin baddie, and trying to add the bonus to saving throws from the Aura of Protection ability, but the bonuses aren't saving. Anyone else having this problem?
Basically, what it says on the tin. I noticed the Saving Throw Bonuses tab at the bottom of the builder, but there's no way to save the inputs. Nothing stays or gets added to the sheet, so is a "save" button missing, or am I missing something?
Thank you for the timely reply. I tried a keyword search to see if it had already been reported, and I didn't see anything. It could have simply been me putting in the wrong words.
So I recently noticed that they added a feature to be able to add miscellaneous bonuses to a homebrew monster's saving throws, which is absolutely amazing. But I have a problem. When I input the number of the bonus I'd like to add, there's no "Save" button I suppose. I tried to maybe use the "Save" button for the descriptions and features, but that didn't add the actual bonuses to the stat block. I don't know if it's just been happening to me or other people?
So what I'd like to know here is, is that supposed to happen? That we can't actually add the bonuses yet? Or is there something I'm missing?
I made a homebrew monster and saw the new saving throw bonuses, but when I tried to add them, there was no save function to add them to the monster stat block. I tried to add the numbers and then save the stat block as a whole, and that did not work.
Seems that’s actually working as intended. The devs say that adding a manual saving throw bonus will cause that ability to display in the saving throw proficiencies box as well, because that’s where the manual bonus gets added. To remove it from the proficiencies box, you’ll need to remove the manual bonus as well.

That doesn't seem intended, because the manual bonus making the save proficient then adds the proficiency bonus on top of the manual bonus. So instead of adding +1 to a saving throw, it's adding 1 + PB to something that wasn't intended to be proficient. This is still not right.
Again, the devs say it’s working as intended, so I’d take that to mean this bonus section is designed as an offset of the PB. If you want a number less than the PB, you can subtract from the PB instead. E.G. if you want a +1 and the PB is +3, you can add a bonus of -2 to get there.

Yeah, I figured that out, but if that's "intended" that's an extremely strange and unintuitive system. Why would +1 not mean +1? Bizarre.

That’s a known issue at the moment. The devs are looking into it.

Ah, I see. Thank you for letting me know!
The newly added saving throw bonuses section when making homebrew stat blocks does not save.
That’s a known issue at the moment.

Super happy they're adding this. The party gave Ireena a cloak of protection in my COS game and I almost never remember the saving throw bonus.

Fixed!

It appears we've traded one glitch for another. Now I can't remove any of the saving throw proficiencies.
