Failed to import statblock

[tmama1]

Wish I could provide further information but I copied a stat block from a PDF and plugged it in, only to be constantly met with an error and told to report it. The Console does not elaborate or tell me what I should mention in my report.

The Error read: 5E STATBLOCK IMPORTER: An error has occurred. Please report it using the module link so it can get fixed.

The stat block itself is very generic also so I do not know what the issue was. It does seem to be creating an Actor using the details but only the first page of the character sheet so to speak (everything up to Challenge Rating)

I'll include the Statblock below but I do not know what further information I can provide.

Statblock

Sangzor (Druid) Medium humanoid (human), neutral Armor Class 16 (hide armor, shield) Hit Points 132 (24d8 + 24) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 10 (+0) 14 (+2) 12 (+1) 12 (+1) 20 (+5) 11 (+0) Saving Throws Int +5, Wis +9 Skills Medicine +9, Nature, +5, Perception +9 Senses passive Perception 19 Languages understands Common, Druidic, and Draconic but cannot speak Challenge 12 (8,400 XP) Spellcasting. Sangzor is an 18th-level spellcaster. His spellcasting ability is Wisdom (spell save DC 17, +9 to hit with spell attacks). He has the following druid spells prepared: Cantrips (at will): primal savagery, mold earth, shape water, thunderclap 1st level (4 slots): absorb elements, ice knife, snare 2nd level (3 slots): beast sense 3rd, 4th, 5th level (3 slots each): — 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th level (1 slot each): — Mutilation. Sangzor's tongue has been cut out and he cannot cast any spells with a verbal component. Actions Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage. Goat Shape (2/Day). As a bonus action, Sangzor magically polymorphs into monstrous goat, and can remain in this form for up to 9 hours. He can choose whether its equipment falls to the ground, melds with its new form, or is worn by the new form. He reverts to his true form if he is knocked unconscious or dies, or if his goat form falls to 0 hit points. Sangzor can revert to his true form using a bonus action. While in a goat form, Sangzor retains his game statistics, but his AC, movement modes, Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution are replaced by those of the goat form, and he gains any special senses, proficiencies, traits, actions, and reactions (except class features, legendary actions, and lair actions) that the goat form has but that his true form lacks. He can cast spells with somatic components in goat form. The new form’s attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunity to nonmagical attacks.

The first thing I noticed by looking at this is that there are no line breaks. It’s just one big wall of text. You’ll need to manually add in returns so that the parser can understand it better.

When pasted into the importer there are line breaks. When I pasted into into the textbox there were line breaks. I'm unsure why it's returned with none once posted.

I'll retry regardless in case it's user error, but I'm confident it's not. If it were, how would it manage to read any of it but only import the beginning?

Kindest Regards,

In order to see what the problem is I need to reproduce it on my end, so I need to be able paste in exactly what you're pasting in. Maybe try not using the expander thing that hides the text in the comment here? Or use the Add Code option to paste here so that it doesn't try to format it.

I apologize for my tardiness, I honestly should have reached out a lot earlier.

To show you what text I am trying to import, I tried to find a different stat block to recreate the issue. Once again only the first page of the stat block copied over. That stat block, as copied from the pdf, is as follows:

Gore Elemental Large elemental, chaotic evil Armor Class 16 (natural armor) Hit Points 110 (13d10 + 39) Speed 30 ft., climb 30 ft. STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 19 (+4) 13 (+1) 16 (+3) 3 (-4) 12 (+1) 7 (-2) Damage Immunities poison Damage Resistances bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical weapons Damage Vulnerabilities psychic Condition Immunities exhaustion, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, unconscious Senses blindsight 60 ft. passive Perception 11 Languages Infernal Challenge 6 (2300 XP) Proficiency Bonus +3 Actions Gruesome Deluge. Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., up to four targets. Hit: 8 (1d8 + 4) bludgeoning damage plus 4 (1d8) necrotic damage. Each target of Medium size or smaller must succeed on a DC 15 Strength saving throw or be grappled (escape DC 15). Grisly Mire. Each creature grappled by the gore elemental must make a DC 15 Strength saving throw. On a failure, a target takes 15 (2d10+4) slashing damage plus 5 (2d4) necrotic damage and is knocked prone. Until it escapes from the gore elemental’s grapple, the target is blinded, restrained, and unable to breathe. If the saving throw is successful, the target is pushed to an adjacent space. Reactions Swelling Crimson (1/Day). If the gore elemental reduces a living creature to 0 hit points, its size increases to Huge. The elemental gains advantage on all Strength and Constitution saving throws, the gruesome deluge attack can now grapple Large creatures, and the grisly mire attack now deals 10 (4d4 + 4) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage on a failed saving throw. This condition lasts until the gore elemental is reduced to less than 55 hit points.

Kind Regards,

Sorry for the delay, but it looks like it imports ok. I've made some other changes since you first posted this, so maybe a fix for one of the other issues fixed this one too. Can you try it again with the latest version of the module?

[tmama1]

Thanks for the response James. The update did something as there is no longer any error generated. Unfortunately, there is still nothing beyond the first page, even when I try to remove the column format. So i am unsure where the error is coming from

This is what I'm seeing...

ATTRIBUTES

FEATURES

Do you see anything showing up in the Features tab? There's nothing beyond that because it doesn't have any spell or anything else.

[tmama1]

Afraid I don't even see the second screen, mine is completely empty

That's very odd. Maybe there's another module interfering with it? Have you tried using the Find the Culprit module to check?

[tmama1]

That may be the answer, I will report back once I know where the conflict was arising from.

For context, I am running a published adventure. There was certain content that was removed over time. In an attempt to recollect that content, the adventure was redownloaded from Roll20 once more, but installed as a Module. This seemed to be the culprit not allowing me to use your module properly.

I would say this is now solved.
