5e Bug Reports (2023)

Wizards, D&D Monsters of the Multiverse, Githyanki Supreme Commander; Legendary Actions, Attack typo

The legendary actions, Attack has some bad unicode: "The githyanki makes one Silver Great*sword attack." The "*" should be removed.

Thanks. This is now fixed.

Kobold Press, Tome of Beasts 2, Faceless Wanderer; Traits Typo, and Text formatting error?

The text of the third trait title "Otherwise, It is Permanently Destroyed" should be appended to the bottom of the second trait, Regeneration.

Also, while I don't have the PDF of Tome of Beasts 2 to double check - it looks like the entire Memory Eater paragraph on the Other tab should *not* be bold and in italics.

Thanks, I'll pass that on.

Wizards, Monsters of the Multiverse, Howler; Actions, Rending Bite

The damage for Rending Bite is input so it always does psychic damage. It's only supposed to do psychic damage if the target is frightened so currently you need to edit the damage on the combat tracker if you don't want to do extra damage. Given that saves from the Mind Breaking Howl make you immune to future howls - most of the time the targets are not going to be frightened.

The way it is now is: "Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage, plus 22 (4d10) psychic damage if the target is frightened. This attack ignores damage resistance."

I'd suggest you revert the damage text to the Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes wording: "Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) piercing damage. If the target is frightened it takes an additional 22 (4d10) psychic damage. This attack ignores damage resistance."

[Zacchaeus]

Thanks. I'll alert the developer.

Table problems in Xanathar Guide To Everything:

Hello, I would like to report a bug in several tables in the supplement Xanathar’s Guide To Everything, in the This Is Your Life section, Origins, Personal Decisions, Life Events, Supplemental tables. Many times, the last entry of the tables are missing the second part of the dice.

For example, where it should be written 90-100: Entry, it is instead:

90- empty: entry.

The second part of the dice entry is missing, resulting in, for example rolling a d90, instead of a d100.

I could not track all the tables where it happened, but definitely more than 10 of them. Can you investigate and update this?

Monster manual missing tokens:

Hi, I would like to report the fact that many basic monsters in the Monster Manual are missing tokens. They only have letters, which is really lame. I had to replace too many by hand each time, which is very boring. And because the module is locked (which is logic), I can’t do it once and for all the monsters/npcs that have Letters instead of picture tokens.

Can you update the monster manual to replace the letter tokens by real tokens. For example Wolf, as a W, instead of a wolf token. With so many resources that you already have and sell, it is really not fair to us, don’t you think?

Veterans is the same, and so on… Quite annoying.

So, please update the monster manual, that would be awesome.

Shield dwarf template missing from Sword Coast Adventurer's guide:

Hello, I would like to report a bug. When I load the Sword Coast Adventurer’s guide (players, dm & maps), the only 2 dwarf templates showing are Hill Dwarf and Mountain Dwarf, but not Shield Dwarf. Shield Dwarf only appear in the module for players, races, dwarf, other, sub-races. Could you correct that bug?

Thank you very much in advance for that.

Ah, looks like I fixed this in the DM guide but not in the players guide. I'll add this to my list. Thanks for reporting

THis isn't a bug. Tokens can only be made from the artwork provided by WotC. Since they did not provide artwork for every monster or NPC a letter token is used in those cases.
