Hate to be a bother but I'm getting the same thing jdubs1211 did - using a character that worked through the previous books limits me to only 3 powers (the Action Chart has 4 free slots but after 3 are chosen the rest are greyed out). I've also found an odd one. I was a little confused with the options so was trying to roll my Combat Skill and Endurance despite these already being filled out on an imported character - this would cause a crash if I rolled an 8 or above. Alternatively it would crash if I rerolled a couple of times. First bug you mention is now fixed. Puzzled on the second - What game mode are you playing in (BTB/Hardcore/Prodigy)? If you have the resumeX file handy, along with the campaign file, those would probably be helpful in tracking this down... I'll see what I can do in the meantime. Thanks!

Oh man... investigating these issues revealed a *major* bug that I hadn't even thought about... When re-rolling your stats, the bonuses from various equipment is not factored back in. Your max EP is just set to 30+Random number. This is going to take a little thought to fix.. Ugh - gotta love game-breaking bugs! I'll see what I can do to fix these issues and post a bug-fix release ASAP. Sorry for the crazy bugs guys - Grand Master growing pains, I guess! EDIT: Found the "only 3 disciplines" bug - fixed it from happening, and included a fix to make players that have already started the book be able to take 1 more discipline, if they only have 3. (If anyone cares to know, it was happening because I used a different technique to add the "final discipline" for those in BTB or Prodigy mode in going to book 13. So, it was counting the final Magnakai discipline as one of your 4 GM disciplines. No longer!) OK, I think I've fixed the major bug with equipment not giving you the EP bonus it should... And it should work, even if you are in the middle of a book (it should add the EP back in to Max and Current scores.) Woof! One more bug to fix, and I'm hoping it has an impact on the bug the reported by commentator.... - commentator, were you saying that you were able to re-roll multiple times in the same game? Definitely shouldn't be able to do that!

I jumped back in and tried to replicate the bug but no-go. Which is weird 'cause I tested it the other day and could guarantee a crash pretty much every time. I'm wondering if it's got something to do with the graphics settings - I'd been messing around with the compatibility tab and changed a few things there. Lesson learned, real heroes don't trifle with angry husbands, the plans of insane gods, or windows 8.

OK, I fixed the repeat tooltip text bug - as well as a couple of minor aesthetic issues, and making sure the player doesn't get loyalty bonuses if they re-rolled their stats.
I'm hoping that either the repeated tooltip bug was responsible for the issue commentator found with re-rolling stats, or just that it's a long standing bug that's been around forever, and just surfaced due to his messing with graphics settings... If it crops up again, I'll dig deeper!
In the meantime - I'll see if I can't post the bug fix release this weekend, to help out you good folks who posted bugs!

BUGFIX 1.13.1 is out! Please ensure that you are using the latest version before posting bugs - just in case I might have done away with it in the update!
As always, please include as much info as possible leading up to the bug/crash. The more info, the easier it is to fix! Thanks, folks!

Good news Dave, I found bugs!
Still can't select a 4th Kai power. Weirder still...I loaded up my game, tried to select my Kai powers and found I was only getting 3. Decided to see if it'd work if I completed the other pre-game steps too, so went into the equipment stuff and picked up the map and grabbed some more coins and all that. No kai power. So quit the program, loaded back in, reset the book and tried again. Still only 3 powers - out of interest flipped over to the equipment portion and found that the map pickup icon was still greyed out (from the last time I picked it up) but the money icon had returned to green. Rolling the dice for the money wasn't enough alone to get the Equipment bubble from red to green and the map itself didn't seem to be in my inventory.

Dave - first of all, thanks very much for completing book 13. I've been eagerly anticipating it. I've had the same issue as jdubs1211 and commentator when using a character who had completed books 1-12. It was a "have/died restarted campaign" character ... not sure if that makes a difference. Let me know if you want me to send the *.dat file Seems to work for me now. Can now select 4 GM disciplines. Thanks for fixing quickly!

Glad it worked for you skippy007! Seems like maybe it wasn't as robust a fix as I'd hoped, though - sorry, commentator! I'll see what I can do in the next release.
(p.s. the reason you can't click on stuff in the equipment page is because of the fact that you must click the "Import Items" button in the game rules section of text (same page as the CS/EP selection). I'm updating the tooltips so that it says as much on both the map and pouch items (and you won't be able to click the pouch, either, until the "Import Items" is taken care of).
On another note, I've fixed the "Take the Helmet before selecting EP in book 1, then lose the Helmet's +2 EP" issue that has been around since day 1 - now, you can jump right into the equipment section, and if you get lucky with the helmet, you can go back and get the EP roll, and still have the bonus!

Oh hang on! I think I know why commentator's didn't work - did you already start the book (into section 1 or beyond?). That trips a flag that makes all Disciplines unavailable, period. I forgot about that until just now. Internally, it's keeping track of the fact that you should have another one available... but you can't select one because you started the book already. The bad news: If that's the case, you won't be able to select a 4th discipline on this book... The good news: You'll get to select that 4th discipline, along with your 5th, when you start book 14. Guess I should get cracking on that...

The bug fix initially worked for me but having restarting the book(using my saved data..) I could only select 3 disciplines again

jdubs, All you need to do is exit the program, and resume it again. It'll add back in the 4th discipline. I'll come up with a more robust fix for next bug-fix release.

Cheers for the response Dave, I'm willing to bet I clicked something I shouldn't have - that's half the fun really. 3 powers will make things a little more exciting at least, most likely karma for running through the books as a lad and fudging the character sheet when things started cutting a little close. Having fun though, thats the important thing, so cheers again for all the work you put in mate.

Thank you.. that worked Also, one part of the repeating tooltip bug that was confusing to me was that the tooltip will still appear after you import items and become able to select your equipment. Is that by design?

Well, I did *design* it that way... whether or not that's best - that's a whole 'nother question!
(And the tooltips will stay big/repeated, if they already are, but at least they won't grow worse! Actually, I might be able to work a fix in there to make them normal sized again *and* get rid of the "you can't click this until..." text entirely... I'll see what I can do.)

Just starting book 13...
By-the-book mode, using old character from books 1-12. I have Psi-surge, but did not choose Kai surge as Grandmaster discipline. When fighting Dholdaarg (who is not immune to Psi-surge) in section 295, is there a way to "switch on" Psi-surge? I clicked 'M' in discipline section, but it is not possible to tick Psi-surge...
Anyway, superb work, and great Christmas present for all of us.
