Jun 22, 2009 10:47:33 I just reported a bug where the character sheet seems to ignore my Flaming Superior Crossbow +2 and instead displays the old Swiftshot +1. It does this only on the character sheet and power cards. Everything is fine when I look at the powers in the Build area of the CB.

If I remove the Swiftshot I then see no stats for using a weapon at all.

The sole exception is Trick Strike. For some reason that power does pick up the Flaming weapon.

I still have to ask this question. Are you opening the character sheet before you have completed everything in the character builder?

You can easily check how a weapon effects powers etc in the powers tab.

If you remove a weapon while the character sheet is open it will mess this all up as well.

You might be having a problem that is addressed by this.

Jun 23, 2009 14:25:07 Thanks, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I can save, close the whole application, come back in, and still see the problem.

I tried removing the Swiftshot weapon to see if that was somehow placing a priority, but the attacks then show no weapon on the power card (and the character sheet shows a dagger basic attack).

The Flaming weapon just seems to somehow not register as a possible weapon for those powers or for a ranged attack.

Aha! I had not known of this feature... is it explained somewhere in the software?

Also, why did it select a non-equipped weapon as the default for all my powers except one power, which then did show my equipped weapon?

It still seems to me like there is some level of a bug here. If you equip a weapon in the CB, it should then become the default in the character sheet. You should not have to right-click and choose each power card to print the equipped weapon.

Thanks, though! Now the character sheet is correct and the power cards as well (though I use MSE for my cards).

Well many times the bug comes from the fact that people have the char sheet open when they make changes... as for why it defaults to unarmed strike stuff...not sure. They posted this option in their patch notes or something so if you look on the website it should have a reference.
