Arrows? Are you trying to equip the bundle of arrows (Arrows (20))? Try
a single Arrow, it worked for me just now but the bundles will not.

I assume you have found that you can manually put a number into the
"Skill Points Left for Class" field and then spend them, and that you
are complaining about the message on the Summary tab in the things to do
panel about too many skill points? What would you want to see done?
Seems pretty easy to ignore.

Confirmed, looks like a bug. Opening a tracker:
[ 2320924 ] [LST Editor] Templates cannot be saved
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2320924&group_id=25576\

The way Special Abilities are coded has been changed this cycle. The
html sheets in output and those used by the character sheet tab have
been updated however the PDF's are not yet, someone is working on that
task and they will be fixed up for the production release.

The Preview tab is another matter, it's probably going to go away, as
it's function is handled by the character sheet tab.
