Is there a Dictionary Table Key length limit?

Janrith

Hi folks,

I'm setting up character tables in order to look up some data based on character class, so am using Dictionary tables. It's mostly working, but when I have an class name longer than 10 characters, the Key lookup fails.

Making a lookup on illusionist or thief-acrobat fails on this table:

Table: Test
[#illusionist HitDieType]

Table: HitDieType
Type: Dictionary
cleric:8
druid:8
fighter:10
barbarian:12
paladin:10
ranger:8
magic-user:4
illusionist:4
thief:6
thief-acrobat:6
assassin:6
monk:4
bard:6

However, if I truncate the key to 10 characters or less and match that call, it works:

Table: Test
[#illusionis HitDieType]

Table: HitDieType
Type: Dictionary
cleric:8
druid:8
fighter:10
barbarian:12
paladin:10
ranger:8
magic-user:4
illusionis:4
thief:6
thief-acro:6
assassin:6
monk:4
bard:6

Does anyone know if this is by design, or a bug?

Thanks.

Just ran into this as well, guess it is what it is. Dictionary keys are limited to 10 characters.

Be nice if that weren't the case.
