RELEASE NOTES
In the shadowed underlayers of Sharn — the City of Towers — secrets trade hands in steam-filled alleys, and invention sparks beneath the weight of power and ambition. Here, Artificers are visionaries who blend spellcraft and invention, using gears and magic in equal measure to turn the impossible into reality. They see the arcane not merely as mystery, but as mechanism — something to be decoded, refined, and brought to life.

Notes: Updated Khoravar Fey Gift Note - this is supported
I'm creating a character with the House Lyrandar Heir background, which includes the Mark of Storm feat. However, I don't see the spells that should be added to my character sheet in the character builder. I am unable to select spells like Feather Fall or Shatter that should be granted by my feat.
Edit: Just checked with Mark of Shadow and I had the same issue. It seems the spells of the mark are not being added to the character builder as options.
I'm trying to make a human with a dragonmark chosen as their species origin feat, but the character creator doesn't have that as an option to choose. It will let me choose one as a background or at lvl 4 if I wanted to take it instead of a regular feat, but it will not let me choose it as my species origin feat.
Public Mod Note
(spamandtuna):
Working as intended
Spells of the Mark from the dragonmark feats do not show up in the spell lists as options to choose to learn or prepare. This occurs both when the Mark of XYZ feat is added to the sheet manually and if a character has it from a House Heir background.
The spell lists are not being applied for the dragonmarked backgrounds. Went I make a homebrew feat copy of a mark, I see that the spells / spell table is empty. Can someone please fix this?
That is the dumbest thing. They remove them from being species locked, but then for all intents and purposes make them class locked. that is a terrible design decision.
The Release Notes say they are unable to support changing a granted spell for the Khoravar, referencing the Friends cantrip they get, which can be changed to a Cleric, Druid, or Wizard cantrip.
Surely this is possible, since the High Elf lineage of the 2024 Elf species can change its cantrip.
Grammar nitpick: The Lethargy Resilience action is spelled -

I'm creating a character with the House Lyrandar Heir background, which includes the Mark of Storm feat. However, I don't see the spells that should be added to my character sheet in the character builder. I am unable to select spells like Feather Fall or Shatter that should be granted by my feat.
Edit: Just checked with Mark of Shadow and I had the same issue. It seems the spells of the mark are not being added to the character builder as options.
I can't choose armorer. Instantly errors every time. Anyone else?
Me too. It has an error when I try, and from then on I can’t edit the character.
Repeating Shot doesn't show up as an option when building an Artificer and selecting the Magical Item Plans for level 2 Replicate Magic Item.
Yep same thing for me
Just so the world knows I'm here 8-)
I'm getting the same error message, but only when trying to add a subclass.
I'm trying to make a human with a dragonmark chosen as their species origin feat, but the character creator doesn't have that as an option to choose. It will let me choose one as a background or at lvl 4 if I wanted to take it instead of a regular feat, but it will not let me choose it as my species origin feat.

Dragonmark feats don't qualify as Origin feats. This is by design. They are labeled, well, Dragonmark feats.
The spell lists are not being applied for the dragonmarked backgrounds. Went I make a homebrew feat copy of a mark, I see that the spells / spell table is empty. Can someone please fix this?
Armorer now seems to be working…
Though Homunculus Servant is currently only available to the Legacy Artificer.
(The Legacy Artificer probably shouldn’t have this spell? It obviously had the same functionality through its infusions.)
I can't choose Repeating Shot weapons in Magic Item Plans
That is the dumbest thing. They remove them from being species locked, but then for all intents and purposes make them class locked. that is a terrible design decision.
2024 is also missing a bunch of legacy spells 2014 Artificer had.
So far, some additional issues (Armorer sublcass now fixed). I flagged them in a Reddit post, but putting them here for additional visibility.
Making na a Battle Master and found two issues:
1) War Caster doesn't show up in feat list
2) Repeating Shot doesn't show up in magic items plans list
Armorer doesn't receive the Heavy Armor proficiency in the character builder.
Armorer's Guardian Armor Thunder Pulse has no "to hit" value, you can't click it to roll attack.
The Release Notes say they are unable to support changing a granted spell for the Khoravar, referencing the Friends cantrip they get, which can be changed to a Cleric, Druid, or Wizard cantrip.
Surely this is possible, since the High Elf lineage of the 2024 Elf species can change its cantrip.
