I’ve had my premium account for about a year using it at a player and a DM, but I like to make a LOT of characters to play around with the options. All of a sudden, as I’m running a game, I’m noticing my players are extra squishy and not landing their hits, and my own PC’s stats had dropped.
After some investigation, it turns out all of the characters created in my account, my characters and other PCs in my campaign, all no longer have any of their species ability bonuses added in there. Almost all of them are standard species and classes, only one homebrew.
it’s an easy fix, obviously, but it’s kind of annoying to pay for something that doesn’t work. Any ideas?
Did you choose 2024-style backgrounds for these characters?
If you did, then these characters get their ability score bonuses from their backgrounds, not their species, as specified in the 2024 rules. If that's the case, it's working as intended.
It has been universal, and I’ve been pretty careful about putting 2014 class/races/backgrounds together. And like I said, they were all working at one point within the past few weeks
And now that you mention it, for the characters where I crossed over, none of the ability score bonuses were getting added.
Do you see a place to select them and they just aren’t selected, or is there nowhere to select them? If it is there, which tab is it on - background or species?
