Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting: Part 2 - Issues and Support Thread

5.5e Hunt Domain Cleric's spell list does not appear on the character builder and/or sheet, and the spells aren't being prepared (third time's a charm😅)

It’s been over a month now so I will explain more, in 2 places in the Sourcebook it says Druids get Ferocious strike as an available cantrip, however on the actual character builder and spell search option, lack the Ferocious Strike Cantrip from the book. 

*new* Spark cantrip doesn’t have a roll to Hit button on the character sheet. 

The Cleric Hunt domain dosent populate any of it's spells in 5.5e making it unplayable unless you create it in 2014 this is giving my DM a headache

Does the Ferocious Strike Cantrip work with the Warlock's Parasite Appendage attack? Ferocious Strike is available to Warlocks but Parasite Subclass's Appendage Attack specifies that it's a Melee Spell Attack whereas Ferocious Strike specifies a weapon attack.

Any clarification would be fantastic.

 If Ferocious Strike requires a weapon attack and the Parasite's Appendage attack is a spell then they don't work together

warlock parasite subclass expanded spells don't appear on spell list

The parasite subclass for warlock, the expanded spell list spells are not showing up in the character sheet.

 Fixed!

If this subclass is to be 2024 compatible, the expanded spell list should automatically be added to spells known, not just added to the warlock spell list.

 Wrong. That's not a general rule behind the 2024 Warlock, it's a design guideline being used for official subclasses. However, other official subclasses that haven't yet been revised don't automatically add (or shouldn't, by the text, at least) their subclass spells to spells known. An example I tested: Genie patron, from Tasha's. The spells are available but not automatically known because that's how the subclass is written.

 The difference there is that there is no 2024 version of the Genie patron, only a 2014 version that can still be used by a 2024 warlock. The Parasite patron does have a legacy 2014 version, which you're correct, should only have spells added to the available spells. However, they made an effort to convert it to a 2024 version with updated spell links, feature levels, and so on. However, it remains the _only_ 2024 subclass for warlock that only adds spells to available, not to spells known. If they're redesigning the subclass anyway, they need to give it feature parity to other subclasses, or just remove the 2024 version and only allow the 2014 version to be used.

Regarding the Lotol species, selecting the shocking grasp cantrip for your Adaptive Polymorphism only adds it as a reaction on the character sheet, not as an action. Is it not meant to be available to cast normally?

So one of my players was creating an Oozekin. Oozekin gives a +2 to Con and +1 to Str. While creating his character and decides to change his background to Beast Hunter from Grim Hollow and chose the +1/1/1 stat boost but when he got to his ability page, it removes the Oozekin stat boost and just leaves the Beast Hunter one. Unsure what’s causing this issue.

 It's an automatic override that assumes you're prioritizing 5.5e because you used a 5.5e background.

 5.5e draws ability stats from Backgrounds.  If you have a 5.5e character, even if they're using a 5e Race, the stats come from the Background, not the Species.  You don't get to double dip.

In the Classes chapter, with the College of Cuisine description, it is written - can see within60 feet of you - instead of - can see within 60 feet of you -
