Zero rolls when casting a spell #147
Comments
Thanks for reporting this! The reason it's showing 0 is because it can't determine the actual damages. You see there are two "Fire Damage" lines but they show "[object Object]" instead of actual values. So the question is why it doesn't work for you... Can you reliably reproduce this issue ? It should show you the roll results in D&D Beyond, do you see the same "[object Object]" issue in D&D Beyond or is it only in Discord? |
ah that's interesting. Beyond20 shouldn't show that "[object Object]" value though, but yes, if the damage isn't in D&D Beyond, then there's nothing Beyond20 can do. |
I've reported a bug on the Beyond forums; I'll check again if/when they fix it and let you know the results. |
make sure you don't have any customization on the spell or that it's a homebrewed spell... it's weird that it would be fine here but not on your side. |
So, this happened because the character in question had a +0 spellcasting modifier for this spell (I hadn't finished assigning ability scores so they were all 10s, but in theory there are valid ways this could happen). Apparently, D&D Beyond has a check to just leave it blank when a value is zero, to avoid having "+0" on everything, which means in this case it displays the little flame symbol for fire damage, but nothing else. I don't know if Beyond are going to change it because they don't seem to consider it a bug, which means that Beyond20 may have to handle it. |
What level character is that on? For a 1st-level character with +0 intelligence, there's no damage rolls, just the int mod, which is when the issue becomes apparent. |
Ha! It's the first level that did it. I had used a lvl 15 character. Now I created a lvl 1 character of human variant so I can give them the magic initiate and I'm getting the same inexistent damage in D&D Beyond. So then I agree, there is no bug in D&D Beyond at this time, and the bug that was in Beyond20's discord bot has been fixed, so it's all good now. Thanks for the detailed reports and sorry for being so slow to grasp this issue! |
I attempted to cast a spell, and got damage rolls of zero. My best guesses on why are:
