Double Stats?

[malakav]

Hi, I am using SRD 5E with the latest community pack, When I put a feat that increases a stat it shows up 2 stats, I think it is just for Strength, how can I remove this so it just puts the total?

What feat are you adding?

[malakav]

Heavy Armor Master

it also does that with Heavy Armor Expertise

That is normal HL behavior. Its showing you your original ability score slash the new ability score. You can see all your skills and weapons will treat your ability score as 16 but its letting you know that your base score is 15.

But your base score isn't 15, it's 16, due to the feat. So yeah, it's a weird behaviour to have in the core program. If it was a temporary addition then I could see a reason for such a separation, but it's not temporary, it's a permanent adjustment.

That would be a question for like daplunk who knows 5E. In Pathfinder the only such adjustments that would be permanent would be the increases every 4 levels. Any feat or magic items are modifications of the base values and should correctly show 15/16.

If that is really the base value the feats "could" be adjusted to reflect that on the ability score Picks. I am not sure how much of a priority that is sense the final value of 16 is used for all the calculations.

I wouldn't call it a priority but it is annoying since it shows up on the printed character sheet. And it absolutely is different from Pathfinder. In 5e, you actually don't get feats in the base system. They're called Ability Score Improvements. If you use feats as an optional rule, then some feats have a +1 while giving a smaller benefit than feats that don't do that. But it's still an Ability Score Improvement and thus a permanent ability score improvement, not just a feat-buff.

it's easy enough to change. I'll get it done in the next release. There's a whole heap i want/need to do as soon as real life lets me

[malakav]

Yes please, thanks, it is not like i cannot bear with it, but its kinda annoying, it was fine before, maybe something changed in the new release, let me know when you have time to move that minor detail
