5E Character Wizard Overview and bug reports

No, there's no link in the character wizard drop box for the specializations that you can pick. You can see the full class details by clicking on the hyper link to the class in the class page when you first select a class. You can also click on the magnifying glass at the end of the class line in the character sheet to open the class (you can also open the specialisation from there as well if the character already has one).

Is there a chance that a hyperlink directly to the specialization will appear in the future? Maybe make the choice of subclass in the same way as choosing a race/class? To be able to insert a hyperlink into the title.
The methods you suggested are still quite cumbersome.
For example: The player clicks on the barbarian class with the source filter selected Tasha's couldron for player. He will see only those specializations that are presented specifically in this book. In order to see other specializations, the player still needs to select each book in the filter and view the specializations separately.

We love hearing feedback from the community, and this will be added to my notes for future plans. There is no plans at this time for expansion.

Thanks a lot. I really hope that this will be done someday, because it will make life much easier for both players and GMs

I noticed something. When selecting a class in the character wizard, a player need to select the source of class correctly. For example:
A player creates a Sorcerer. There are 4 sources in total: PHB, SCAG, TASHA, XGtE. For example, a player wants to create a sorcerer with a Draconic bloodline specialization. To do this, he must select a sorcerer specifically from the PHB source, otherwise, all the features for this specialization will not appear on his sheet and will not be added with a level increase. This also applies to other classes which specializations is not selected at the first levels. What I'm getting at is that if you don't know about it and notice it too late, you can get stuck fixing it for quite some time. Is there any workaround for this?
Or should I ask players to decide on specialization EARLY so that they choose the right source when creating a character?

I would think that the easiest way to resolve this would be to combine all entires into one so that you actually only have 1 source to choose from. I have also noticed that when creating a character, the class abilities will actually all show up. Example, I created an Cleric for an NPC (I used the character Wizard and just created it as if it were a PC, and every Domain specials were added from all domains, from all books.

It should be working the same for specialization for each of those classes. So the second part of the process should be the same no matter the one selected as they share the same name for the base class. I will check on it and see if I can replicate what you are seeing.

All sources are provided, as a popular request, to pick a record from a particular source. Not all sources could have the same features or even the same bonuses as another source. An example would be the UA material or a third party supplement. This is geared towards making RAW, homebrew, and 5E compatible products stand side by side. Combining them would only make one available and not have the option of choosing any of the others. So providing all of them will allow the player to choose the exact one that they intended to use. We do provide filters to help cut down on the duplication and a search control as well.

This can't be done because it would break every character ever created since the links to the specializations would not be where they were expected to be. It's possible to do this now for more recent books since specializations are separate from the classes. However before that specializations were tied to the class; hence the need to replicate the full class in each book where there were new specializations.

Is there a way to select from a list of FEATS in the current incarnation of the Character Wizard? If so, what would the syntax look like? I can see the "You gain one FEAT of your choice" , but how how to say "You gain one FEAT from 'this list'" is the question.

Thanks for any replies

[superteddy57]

Depends on the record type. If this is for races the title for the trait should just say Feat and the text should follow similar to how variable human is setup. If it's for a class, then it won't work as those are hard-coded to the naming of the feature. But there is no way to feed only a certain set of feats.
