It looks like one of the feat prereqs for a prestige class 
has a '%' character in a place that isn't expected. I tried 
this out with the RSRD and it worked ok, so it might be 
something with the custom files. Look for something 
like a PREFEAT: mentioning Weapon Focus in one of 
your custom prestige classes.

Otherwise, try and reproduce the problem with only the 
standard data, or a subset of the custom data that is 
easy to upload. If you can, then upload your character 
and the data and we can check it out.

100% agree :) Oh Devon, can we add this in - please?

Cheers,

I have a fix coded for this if it is to be fixed for the 5.8
release.

Cheers,
James
