New 5e Pack released! Please give a big Thank You to Fenris447 for his fantastic job on getting this finished!

v3.0 Release January 3, 2021
NEW RELEASES
  • Acquisitions, Incorporated - Vehicles have been added. Add them as an item in the gear tab and they'll show up as a companion. Use the In-Play tab for adjusting the HP of the component pieces.
  • Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus - Infernal War Machines have been added. Add them as an item in the gear tab and they'll show up as a companion. Use the War Machine Upgrades tab to add upgrades or alternate weapons to the War Machine.
  • Eberron: Rising from the Last War - The release Artificer has been fully implemented, along with the three subclasses from this book. If you're a hero using an item infused by another character, use the Adjustment for that infusion.
  • Ghosts of Saltmarsh - Ships added. They can be added to your hero from the Gear tab, like any other item. They'll show up as a companion. Use the In-Play tab for adjusting the HP of the component pieces, and the Ship Upgrades tab to add upgrades to the ship.
  • Tasha's Cauldron of Everything
  • Custom lineage added - add it like any other race
  • Feats added
  • Sidekicks added - Add them as a class to an NPC.
  • Spells added - when you have the Summon spells selected, you can add the summoned creature to your Hero. Pick its type (subrace) and adjust the "Spell Level" in the In-Play tab to match what slot you summoned it at. Otherwise they default to the lowest level you could cast it at. If you receive the spell through something other than a class (scroll, item, etc.), add the "Summon Creature" adjustment to enable it.
  • Subclasses added
  • Variant Class Features added. Use the new Optional feature "Always show Tasha's Variants" to see the tab. Select what kind of variant features you want to use on your character and menus will dynamically update to show the options for your class.
  • Variant Racial Features added. Use the new Optional feature "Always show Tasha's Variants" to see the tab. Select what kind of variant features you want to use on your character and menus will dynamically update to show the options for your race. Note that ASI swaps must be done manually with the use of adjustments, as they're too dynamic to address programatically.

ENHANCEMENTS & CHANGES
  • All - The adjustment selection menu has been lightly reorganized for ease of use.
  • All - The sources of the 5e Community pack have been re-organized on the Configure Hero screen. UA and MTG sources will now appear underneath the 5e Adventures, which themselves have been put into release order.
  • All - A handful of deprecated things have been hidden. Some heroes will have to re-select some things, but this should be uncommon.
  • DMG - Added a new version of the Necklace of Prayer Beads, as the default one doesn't function properly. This will automatically replace that version.
  • DMG - An adjustment for "Training" has been added (see page 231 of the DMG). It adds 1 bonus feat and a skill proficiency to the hero.
  • DMG - Major/Minor Beneficial/Detrimental Artifact Properties have been updated to actually function. You'll want to delete out any that are selected in the epic boons tab and re-add them in the new Artifact Properties tab.
  • DMG - Blessings and Charms have been moved to the Supernatural Gifts tab, to align with how they're described in the DMG.
  • DMG - Changed firearms to act as "Special" proficiencies required. Though the book considers them martial, subsequent material has made it clear that proficiency with all martial weapons does not automatically equal proficiency with all firearms. To reflect that, they're now Special. The Gunner feat or the new Adjustment "Firearm Proficiency" can be added to the Hero to gain firearm proficiency if you so choose.
  • GGtR - Tireless Precision has been re-designed. See Known Issues if you are using a Vedalken currently.
  • MOoT - The Supernatural Gifts tab will now not show up automatically if you have the Mythic Odysseys of Theros source selected. Use the Optional Feature "Always Show Supernatural Gifts Tab" on the Configure Hero screen to see it. This change was made to cut down on clutter for people who want content from that book but don't want to use Supernatural Gifts.
  • SCAG - Bladesinging updated to match Tasha's, including the removal of the racial restriction. Spells also updated per Tasha's and Errata. Also hid magic items from Training in War and Song selection list, and removed the Spiked Armor's "weapon" from all selection lists as well.
  • UA Modern Magic - Updated to now include firearm proficiencies where appropriate. Note that there is no distinction between side arms and long arms in the DMG, so limitations should be imposed at DM and player discretion.

BUGS
  • All - Sources added to various items to prevent them from showing up without their source selected.
  • PHB - We had some duplicate spells from the SRD, like Fire Bolt and Hellish Rebuke. The community pack versions will now automatically replace the SRD versions, even if no sources are selected. You shouldn't even notice this fix happened, other than a reduction in duplicate spells.
  • SCAG - Corrected Spare the Dying version
  • XGTE - Fixed the language helper on the Cavalier

KNOWN ISSUES
  • GGtR - The old version of Tireless Precision doesn't automatically remove itself to use the new one. If you find yourself with extra proficiencies on your Vedalken, use the "Proficiencies" adjustment to display the tab of the same name. Right click and delete the skill and tool you originally chose for Tireless Precision, then re-choose them in the new Tireless Precision tab.
  • ERFLW/TCOE - Sometimes, infused items will not behave properly when equipped. Clicking/changing anything else on the hero will fix this immediately, but things may appear wonky for a second.
