I don't know if this is me or if it's a bug, but...

When I first designed characters for 5e, I could add proficient skills and they would show up on the PDF I printed out. All was hunky-dory.

I've been designing a character for play in someone else's game, and when I print out the PDF the proficient skills aren't showing up in the same way.

Examples uploaded.

What am I doing wrong?

On Tybalt Saturninus, your proficiency bonus is not being applied.

To me, it doesn't look like you have selected any skill proficiencies.

Just in case, go to the Character tab, Configure Hero. Scroll down to the section labeled 'Ability Options'.

Make sure Proficiency Dice, Background Proficiency, and Personality Trait Proficiency are all unchecked,

Check both characters to make sure those settings are set the same.

Brilliant, thank you!

As always, user error.

Me again.

Can people take a look at my screenshots, these (23) show shows Conradin as needing a tool proficiency (as I understand it, Paladins do not get these) and 23.1 show him as having chosen insufficient skill proficiencies in addition to needing to choose a tool proficiency.

Conradin actually has skill proficiences under "Adjustments" but these don't show up on the PDF when I create it.

What am I doing wrong?

Your screen shots are too blurry for me to decipher unfortunately.

This usually occurs though if you get the same tool from more than one source.

Examples: A background and an archtype may give you the same skill (possibly). If so, you get to pick a replacement skill for one of them.

OK, I've uploaded the same pictures resized and not as blurry. I hope.

Doesn't explain why the Paladin is being given proficiencies that don't apply to Paladins and where they go when the PDF is created.

It is part of you background options.

I wouldn't have thought of those things as being 'tools', but I see what you mean.
