Bug description

Error On Load

Questie: [ERROR] Error during initialization! Interface\AddOns\Questie\Database\QuestieDB.lua:636: attempt to call global 'mod' (a number value)

Latest : 6.4.1-tbc

In QuestieDB.lua:636 - is calling a global variable "mod()". There is no variable declaration for "mod" anywhere in the file.

[10:37 AM] Dump: mod
[10:37 AM] mod=3
[10:38 AM] Dump: value=issecurevariable("mod")
[10:38 AM] [1]=false,
[10:38 AM] [2]="ExtendedCharacterStats"

apparently there is a variable collision with other addons.

You literally just saved us some headaches; GF had the same issue, turned off ExtendedCharacterStats, and things are fine now.

Strange thing, it was only for one character (a belf paladin) and none of the others.

typo and update from ECS :)

as this is ECS causing problems by overwriting a default math function - im going to close this.

Sorry @orionshock for the broken ECS update. Roll back to v2.8.7 for now I will release a new version once I am back at home.
