For some reason, when using the “Customize your Origin” feature to swap tool proficiencies, Dragonchess isn’t listed as an available option, even though it counts as a tool in the Player’s Handbook.
Edit: Not a huge gameplay issue, but I have to imagine this is an easy fix.

Any chance you set your background and background proficiencies already?

The second step is required because not all DMs use all of the optional rules, some pick and choose.
Also, importantly, some people may not want all of them for their character, especially those that REPLACE existing class features.
One of my players refused the additional Primal Knowledge features for his Barbarian, even though I as DM made the optional features available to the party.

Does this occur on specific swaps, or does it occur on all swaps that should qualify?
It occurs on swaps of weapon (simple and martial) and tool proficiencies. I haven't tested other kinds of swaps, but it does work on customized backgrounds.
Hi, I think I found a bug...Magnify Gravity on my Storm Sorcerer is not upscaling the dice when I cast it at higher levels, as the spell says it should. It remains at 2d8 for levels of the spell for me.
Your Enhanced Defense isn't showing as infused to anything. So you're not telling the sheet your armour is infused. As result the sheet treats your medium armour as just normal medium armour, which is AC 14 + Dex. Your Dex is -1 so that's AC 14 - 1, or 13.
Your shield is correctly infused, adding a total +3 AC. 13 + 3 = 16.
If your enhanced defense infusion was added to the armour there would be +1 AC, to make a total 17.
So, yes, even with infusion the 17 would be correct.

Unless you plan to have Heavy armour, never use Dex for a score below 10. It will reduce your AC. Only heavy armour ignores Dex.

Hi, I am looking for some clarification on the new Rouge "Soulkinfe" subclass (I hope this is the right place to post this, if not I'm sorry). The particular interaction that is in question is the 3rd level "Psychic Blades" when defining an "Attack action" and how these interact with "Sneak Attack" and "Opportunity Attack."
From Ch. 9 of the Basic Rules, attacks are defined as "... swinging a sword, firing and arrow from a bow, or brawling with your fists." Psychic Blades allows the Rouge to manifest blade(s) with "finesse" and "thrown" properties during an attack action until this action is resulted in either a hit or miss and then blade(s) vanishes.
Assuming that the Rouge is "unarmed," as these blades are only manifested during the attack action, I believe they should still be able to perform "Sneak Attack" and "Opportunity Attack" with a blade as they will manifest to perform the attack action and still fit the requirements for both of these actions.
Please let me know if there is something that I am misreading or if there is a different ruling that I am not aware of, thank you!

Attacks of Opportunity are a no. The Psychic Blades feature only works with the specific Attack action, not any attack. Sneak attack works with Psychic Blades for sure though.
Sneak attack is triggered using a finesse weapon. The psychic blades are a finesse weapon, so you can sneak attack with them.
An opportunity attack requires you to have a melee weapon available and you can use your reaction to make an attack of opportunity.
The psychic blades can only be manifested by taking the attack action and vanish after the attack is made. This means at the end of your turn you will be empty handed. You cannot manifest the blades as part of any attack outside the Attack action on your turn, so you cannot use them for an attack of opportunity.

Which is dumb.
I agree.
As a DM I'd be happy to let them use psychic blade as an attack of opportunity. But, that would be a houserule and not the RAW.

Can confirm. Same issue with e.g. Wood Elf.
Does anybody have a workaround for the superior technique fighting style until it is implemented?

Make a copy of the Martial Adept feat and set the number of choices to 1.
thanks man, much appreciated

Oh I had homebrew ticked by mistake and it was on the list so I thought nothing of it, I've gone and fixed that and it's off the list XD
