[BUG] Druid guidance cantrip numbers not adding up
Is anyone else having issues using the Druid cantrip "Guidance"? Sometimes the math just does not add up.

I first noticed it while still in the tutorial area (no spoilers for those who do not have the game yet).

One of my options was to roll a Medicine check. Here's the text box that popped up WITH guidance running:

Medicine +6
Wisdom

Advantage
Use the highest roll from 1d20+6

Details:
+2 from Wisdom 14
+2 from Proficiency
+3 from Guidance



SPECIAL NOTE: Now before folks scream that a Druid starting out should not have 14 Wisdom, I'm running a Drow Druid, so the max I can get is 15 in character generation. I moved it down to 14 so I'd have more points to play with in the other stats.



If I'm reading this correctly, 2 + 2 + 3 = 7 added to my d20 dice, not 6. So I'm not really sure where this is coming from.

In addition, if I look at the details for the same situation WITHOUT guidance everything adds up like you'd expect:

Medicine +4
Wisdom

Advantage
Use the highest roll from 1d20+4

Details:
+2 from Wisdom 14
+2 from Proficiency

As an added note, the description of the guidance cantrip says the game will roll a d4 and add it to your d20. That just makes me more confused where this +6 is coming from. Even if guidance gets me +4 on a d4, then the math is:

2 + 2 + 4 = 8

So that doesn't make sense for the Medicine +6 either... unless there is somehow two dice rolls going on, and different numbers are being used in the header and the details area.

I have done a search and I see a few posts a few months back saying guidance is bugged. With so many people running Druids now, I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this kind of situation to mean that it's still an issue?

EDIT:

The only other thing to add is that the difficulty did change between the two scenarios, but not as you'd expect.

Difficulty of the d20 WITH guidance was 4.
Difficulty of the d20 WITHOUT guidance was 6.

Not just the drood one. The roll numbers are not matching up with any guidance. It can even lead to win a loosing roll or lose a wining roll lol. Happen 3/4 times to me already since the update^^

But i think it works properly it just a display problem/bug.
