I can totally understand new mechanics not being incorporated, especially from a UA or whatever. What baffles me is patch notes claiming that they *are* implemented, creating an expectation that otherwise would not exist.

Can you send me a link or screenshot of where we have notes saying they're implemented? That would be a mistake on our part and I would want it corrected.

Oh! I just saw the note that it was just a source that was added, but no actual stuff was implemented.

[Fenris447]

You guys got to me. I'm going to try and implement at least some of the simpler parts of the CFV UA. At least the selectable stuff like fighting styles, metamagic options, etc. Anything that takes a significant time investment will probably have to wait until this stuff becomes official before it's worth the effort. But the easier stuff...let's try it.

If anyone has already done some work on Class Feature Variants, any work at all, good or bad, can you send me a copy? I don't want to put in the time on something that someone else has already figured out. Fenris447@gmail.com

Also, does anyone know how we'd go about doing the expanded spell lists in a way that can be controlled with a source? The only way I know how is to do an ExtendThing, but I don't see any option to limit that to only when a particular source is selected.

I don't think you can do it with extend.

I think what makes the most sense is to copy of those spells, add the new classes to it and do a "replaces thing id" to generate the preclude since the preclude uses a source.

If any of you figure this out, I'd like to know, because I used extend to add those spells, but didn't realize that custom file was on all the time and is not toggle-able.

Think I've figured it out

I seem to be having a similar problem.

I've checked that everything is up to date and I have both the Wayfairer's Guide and Rising from the Last War available, but the Artificer class isn't appearing on the class list when I go to make a new PC.

I have tried it with both books selected, and then with only one, and then the other selected, and it still doesn't appear. The only version of the Artificer I can get to load is from an early UA.

We haven't released an official Artificer. There are major programming issues that LWD has stated they won't help us overcome. The most recent version of the Artificer available (albeit not 100% functional) is in the 2019 Artificer UA.

Always check the Release Notes to see what is and isn't in a Community Pack release.
