OggDude, question for you that I posted in a previous post., I did not see a reply, so I apologize if I missed it:
Not sure if this topic has been mentioned before. I have a group of players that have created characters in a version of the character generator older than the most recent one. I have imported their files into the most recent version of the tool, their characters show that they have spent 20 more xp than they were allotted. Is this a known bug, and if so is there a fix for this?
Not sure, but it might have to do with career/non-career skills. Older versions didn't keep track of how many ranks of a skill were purchased as non-career or career. So, for instance, if they put ranks into non-career skills, then purchased a specialization that made those skills career skills, they'd get the difference in XP "refunded" to them. To fix this, I added a column to the skills pane that let's you choose how many ranks of a skill were purchased as non-career. In later versions, it keeps track of this automatically, but for older characters, you might have to adjust it by hand.
More than likely, they purchased 4 ranks-worth of non-career skills that were later turned into career skills. To fix it, just adjust the non-career skill ranks of the skills.
OggDude, thanks for the response. Found out it was stupidity on my part. I had my players create with a GM Grant of recruit and I forgot to click the GM Grants option of my character generator. All cleared up now.
