Hi. I bought the Grung character class but I can't choose that class when building a character.

[modest pelican]

Grung isn't a class, it's a race

Also, did you buy the race or the monster?

[shadow snow]

I bought three things. I am not sure where to look for purchased content.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/oga/one-grung-above plus two other recommended things.

[modest pelican]

Where did you purchase them from?

Okay, have you enabled Non Core Content in the character builder?

[shadow snow]

"One Grung Above (Race Bundle)"

ah.

thank you.

[modest pelican]

No worries, just working my way through the check list. Should've gone with the content toggle first. Glad it's all sorted! Happy hopping

[sour crane]

Is it possible for me to make an encounter where I pitch players against each other in "my-encounters"?

[modest pelican]

In order to run an encounter you need at least one monster. But you can just ignore that once your running it

[sour crane]

ah I see, and then make 2 encounters with each team on one, too bad I can't see the difficulty though.
Are there any plans on adding this in the future that you're aware of?

[modest pelican]

You're just trying to track initiative for PvP, right?

D&D doesn't support PvP in the mechanics, so no, there's no difficulty calculation for that

[sour crane]

I've got this npc that I've made a character sheet for, I just wanted to check the difficulty if the party was to fight her, thanks for clearing it up for me

[modest pelican]

If Wizards of the Coast releases rules supporting PvP, they will be reflected on D&D Beyond

[gloomy gorge]

Is there a reason I can't choose a patron for an order of the profaned soul blood hunter? I have most of the books they're from

[final trellis]

Do you have the correct Blood Hunter subclass selected? For Profane Soul, you need to select the one that has either INT or WIS (depending on what ability score you are using). If you select the Profane Soul that has no ability score in the anme then the subclass will not work.

[gloomy gorge]

....oh

Okay thanks 😅

[fathom mauve]

homebreweing monk subclass to a spellcaster only allow the subclass to be a third caster? Can i make it a full casteR?

[uneven lantern]

There’s not currently a way to do that, no.

[little plume]

Im sorry for bothering yall but it would be great if someone could lend me and hand with Dnd overall.
Currently, im having trouble understanding how all the combat rolls and everything work. Also campaigns, I got no clue on how all of those work.
Unfortunately, I dont have friends that play dnd and was hoping that someone could kinda teach me the basics as Its all pretty new to me

[pine crystal]

Is it possible to create characters with the playtest character origins stuff on D&D Beyond, or is it only possible when you are using pencil and paper for now?

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #dnd-newcomers will happily answer those questions. (This channel is more for technical help with D&D Beyond specifically.)

[uneven lantern]

You can use the homebrew tools to recreate pretty much any of the Character Origins options, but they’re not automatically available to use on the site.

[young pilot]

does any one know why the dc of my ki saved doesnt increase when i equip my +1 dragon hide belt

[uneven lantern]

Dragonhide Belt. You can equip this magic item to your character, but it does not currently modify the saving throw DCs for monk features automatically.

[lapis garnet]

I don't know if this is the right channel but I am going to try:
I have a quick question: What do I need to do to add additional spells to a spell list so they are permanently prepared in ddb? I can't get it to work.

[lime gulch]

Are you making a subclass?

[tawny hollow]

this is my first time using d&d beyond and I need some help

[modest pelican]

What do you specifically need help with?

[tawny hollow]

how to run an adventure in the campaigins

[modest pelican]

So the campaigns are a tool to group characters together and share content, you don't actually need to use them to run an adventure

To run an adventure, you just run through the book

[tawny hollow]

plus it is my fist time playing dnd

[modest pelican]

You might wanna check out #dnd-newcomers in that case

[tawny hollow]

no i meant second

okay but the one ad i watched on this they had like a map and it looked like you could run the adventure through dnd beyond

dose that something to do with ecounters

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond does not, nor ever has, supported digital maps

So I'm not entirely sure what advert you saw

[ebon aspen]

Ich habe Probleme mich bei DND Beyond anzumelden. Unteranderem erhalte ich keine Verifizierungs Email

kann mir jemand helfen?

[modest pelican]

This server is english only I'm afraid

[naive lodge]

However to answer, D&D Beyond does not use an email address to sign-up/login and never has. You'll need to use Google or Apple ID.

[ebon aspen]

My first login was via Twitch. Unfortunately, this now leads nowhere.
and clicking on the Google symbol doesn't work for me. I don't have an Apple ID.
And I can no longer access my account.

[naive lodge]

Twitch should still work, as that's what I utilize primarily. Make sure you're allowing third party cookies and don't have anything interfering, especially any extensions.

[ebon aspen]

on my mobile phone i have now found out that i have changed my login to Google ID. but on my computer i can't manage to log in, be it via Chrome, Firefox or Edge.

thank you for your attention and your help. i found my mistake i had linked two accounts

bye und have a nice evening

[plain cave]

How would I add these options to a class feature?

[placid trail]

Hello. I just tried buying a sourcebook and an adventure with an American Express gift card, and the charge was declined. I called American Express, and they advised me the charge was declined because the merchant is blocked, and they went on to explain that merchants with a "suspicious history" get on the blocked list and that there is no way for me to bypass the block. Can you get off the blocked list so I can buy some stuff? I had wanted to take advantage of this weekend's discount.

[plain cave]

Try doing it through PayPal

[uneven lantern]

After you’ve saved it, you’ll have the ability to add Spells and Options.

Add a single Spell entry. Make sure to specify the class list and the spell level (plus any other pertinent info), and it’ll let them choose accordingly.

For the proficiency, you’ll need to set each choice up as its own Option. Give each option the appropriate Modifier, e.g Type: Proficiency, Subtype: Animal Handling.

Then on the main page for that class feature, look for a field called Class Levels Where Options Known. You’ll want to put a 1 there (because they get a single choice at level 1).

[plain cave]

Like this? Thanks for the help

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

You might want to set the field for whether it uses a spell slot, counts as a known spell, or is always prepared, too.

Depending on how you expected this spell to get displayed.

[plain cave]

Gotcha

[plain cave]

I made each one an option, but I don't see it displayed when I pick the subclass

[uneven lantern]

Looks fine, assuming you also set Class Levels Where Options Known to 1.

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to show up on your sheet, too, though. You might just have to give it a sec.

[plain cave]

gotcha

[plain cave]

Could having the spell list and the options on the same feature be what's causing the issue?

[uneven lantern]

Shouldn’t be a problem, no.

You could try removing that subclass from the character, refresh the page, and add it again. That might get it to update.

[plain cave]

I tried that, I don't think it's an update issue, but maybe, idk

[uneven lantern]

As far as what you’ve shown in the screenshots, it’s set up correctly.

Unless there’s something amiss in the Options themselves.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that all looks right, too.

[plain cave]

So I don't need to select the "is granted"?

[uneven lantern]

No, you definitely want that unchecked.

[plain cave]

Gotcha, and is the required class level required?

[uneven lantern]

If it was blank, I assume it would be available at any level (or at least the level the feature is added).

Is the subclass still in your My Homebrew Collection?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection

[plain cave]

Yeah

[near birch]

I only have access to my mobile app for D&D beyond, but I have the necessary content, such as the phb and such, to make a game. I however cannot find a create game option on the app, and despite looking it up I can't find out how to do it. Any help?

[final trellis]

The app does not have all functions of the website - if you log into the website via a web browser (make sure you are on the same account), then a campaign created there will show in the app. But the majority of campaign features are website only.

[plain cave]

Go to the website in your browser

[near birch]

I'm in

OH I see it now

[plain cave]

I wish it was more mobile friendly, especially with reading the books instead of having to download them

[near birch]

OK so I can make encounters, but I'd that the same as making a campaign?

I found it

[final trellis]

The Encounter Builder can link Encounters to a Campaign - but they are separate tools. Encounters is also a website only feature.

I like to always present D&D Beyond as a website, that has a supporting app - we are not just an app, and if you are only using the app, you are missing out on some of the tools/features.

[near birch]

Thanks for the help guys! As another topic, where should I go or what should I do for the purposes of making or getting maps? Both digitally and irl. I'm a bit tight on money, but if there's no way to do something for free I'll spend what I can.

[plain cave]

Roll20 can be good, although their upload file size is rather small, I've just been streaming the map on Photoshop to my players

[near birch]

Is there a photoshop app?

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking in #non-dnd-topics

[plain cave]

Not an official one, there may be knock offs

[plain cave]

Still no luck, any other ideas?

[uneven lantern]

Does it show correctly if you add it to a brand new character?

You could also try changing something obvious — like the name or description — and verify whether that shows up for your character. If it does, then yeah, it probably isn’t a caching issue.

[plain cave]

Yeah its not a caching thing

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid I don’t know, then. It all seems correct based on the screenshots.

The only other thing I can suggest is to find an official subclass that provides a similar feature. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how that was set up, so you can compare.

[plain cave]

As far as i know there are no official subclasses with a feature implemented like that, they all have it specially coded like "choose a druid skill" or "choose a lizardfolk proficiency"

[uneven lantern]

But there are ones with Options, at least. Battle Master, for one.

Or you can look to see if any of those built-in modifiers matches the selection you’re trying to offer.

But if not, Options are the only way to specify your own choices.

[queen burrow]

i am trying to make a purchase threw the store and any time i put my information in its gives error i know it not card i used them today and called

[uneven lantern]

What’s the error?

[queen burrow]

ERROR:Do Not Honor-PROCESSOR_DECLINED

[uneven lantern]

“Processor” is your card issuer. They’ve blocked the transaction.

[queen burrow]

ERROR:Gateway Rejected: avs-GATEWAY_REJECTED

like im trying other cards and ive called and their fine

[uneven lantern]

AVS is Address Verification System. It means the address you entered in DDB does not match what your card issuer has on file.

Could be something as small as an extra space or a missing period.

[queen burrow]

that cant be i use auto fill for address and i have used the same address before

ehhh i give up

[final trellis]

Rather than using auto fil, type the details out - as Spam said, whatever is being entered may not match what your card/bank has.

When mine got declined today, Amex told me the merchant (possibly Curse and not WotC) was on a blocked list. I used Paypal and that worked

[plain cave]

How do I add a table to dndbeyonds homebrew? I'm adding an unearthed arcana feat

[uneven lantern]

You can either copy+paste it in, or use the </> Source View button in the toolbar to add it manually via HTML.

[plain cave]

Do Cantrips not have options for anything other than actions?

I also have another question, I don't see a way to add an ability score increase in a feat

[uneven lantern]

Feat Options only support Actions. That has nothing to do with cantrips, though; your name and description didn't limit anything there.

[uneven lantern]

This would be done through Modifiers, though. To bump STR by 1, as an example, you'd need Type: "Bonus", Subtype: "Strength Score", Fixed Value: 1.

[plain cave]

So I need to separate it into different feats?

[uneven lantern]

Probably, but because of the resistances, not the cantrips.

If it was just cantrips, you could Add a Spell, list those four options, and it would have the player choose between them.

[plain cave]

Gotcha, thanks for the help again

[inland cedar]

this could just be due to my own ADHD dyslexic brain.... but is there a Gem Dragonborn option? i only notice some of the chromatics and
metallics in the character creation list

[uneven lantern]

There is! It was released in Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons.

[inland cedar]

AH! that would explain a lot... i... don't have Fizban's >.>

tyvm 👍

[uneven lantern]

You can buy just the race by itself if that’s all you want for now.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/fizbans-treasury-of-dragons

Whatever you spend gets credited toward the price of the book itself, too.

[inland cedar]

there were other things in Fizban's that i'll be needing down the road, for now i'll just use the finished campaign with someone content sharing for concept ideas of what i can work with 🤣

the life of a broke man 🤣

[celest tangle]

Is there a way to add a custom language to a homebrew race? I know you can do it on the character sheet.

[dawn egret]

you have to do it through the character sheet.

[grand idol]

Hi, team! I'm seeing a bit of conflicting info online so I thought I'd ask directly.

If I have my Master Tier subscription, when I join a friend's D&DB Campaign, I can enable Content Sharing to give them access to my sourcebooks, yeah?

How many campaigns can I join and enable content sharing? I know I can create 3 Campaigns with content sharing enabled, but that's the extent of my understanding. Thanks again!

[modest pelican]

Anyone, not just the DM of a campaign, can enable content sharing in a campaign. The DM will have control over what compendium options are shared though.

You can enable content sharing in up to 5 campaigns, be those campaigns you've made as DM, or joined as a player. There's no distinction

[uneven lantern]

Plus, Content Sharing shares everyone's books, not just yours.

So if you've enabled your five campaigns, someone else can enable it for the sixth and your books will still be available for the group.

[grand idol]

Thank you!

[untold moat]

rolling command not working rn? tried doing !r1d20 and other dices

that's an avrae thing but also you need a space for !r 1d20

ohh, before the space wasnt needed this is the frst i heard of it

it's basically always been necessary. for years.

we never had the space thing on my friend's server, but glad to know we can go back to discord rolling

[sweet ice]

Hi there. I was hoping i could get some help with my Character Sheet. Hopefully someone has an easy answer to solve everything, but I am a Beast Master Ranger, and I am specifically doing the Tashas Cauldron version, with the Primal Companion where my beasts can swap in and out once a day per type, and I wanted them easily available in my character page for attacking. I added it to where I can roll to hit for them, and roll for damage, but it isn't allowing me to do the damage calculation correctly. it is supposed to be 1d8+2+PB and i can't find a way to add in the PB to the roll in any way. Does anyone know how to fix this, or is there a much easier way to add my primal companions attacks and spells outside of making them custom weapons?

[north sand]

I gave my fighter character superior technique, but there's no drop down to select a battle master maneuver. Is it supposed to be like that?

[torpid jewel]

replicating error now

[uneven lantern]

Fighting Style - Superior Technique. Not functional. We don't currently have a sensible way of implementing the selection of maneuvers that wouldn't cause characters to become broken in the future. We're working on a solution for this known issue.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/87774-tashas-cauldron-of-everything-issues-and-support

[torpid jewel]

Looks like that's just how it is. Put your fighting style as a custom action or in notes.

[north sand]

Thank you both @uneven lantern@torpid jewel

[uneven lantern]

But yeah, depending on which specific maneuver you wanted to pick, a custom action will usually do the trick.

Alternatively, you can make a homebrew feat and add the maneuver in.

[north sand]

how would i go about adding the d6 and the action?

[uneven lantern]

If you want a checkbox, you'll have to go the homebrew route.

Probably easiest to create as a feat, using Martial Adept as a template.

Then you can just adjust the number of boxes and number of maneuver choices.

[north sand]

okay, i'm trying to add menacing attack

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, checkbox aside, that's one you could potentially do as a custom action directly on the character sheet.

But if you want a checkbox, it's gotta be homebrew.

[north sand]

okay, working on it now

[uneven lantern]

Actually, the feat's just a single die, too. Even easier.

So yeah, if you can select Martial Adept as a template, all you'd have to do is change "Total Number of Feat Options User Can Select" to 1 and you're done.

[north sand]

I don't have the template, so how would i go about doing that?

[uneven lantern]

Fill in the Basic Information however you like, then save the feat.

After that, you'll see a section called Actions. You can add one or two, depending on if you want the checkbox attached directly to Menacing Attack or separately.

For Menacing Attack, set Activation Type to "No Action". For the superiority die, set Reset Type to "Short Rest". If you want a single action, do them both.

Then save it, and edit the one for the superiority die again. You'll find a Limited Use section at the bottom that will add the checkbox.

[north sand]

at the top it wants me to choose ability score type, what do i put there?

[uneven lantern]

Just leave all that blank.

You definitely want Name, Snippet, and Description.

And the two fields listed above.

Everything else you can ignore.

[north sand]

I think I have it, like this?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

I'd go back and add a Snippet if you want it to display the text directly on your character sheet.

[north sand]

It's on here too

[uneven lantern]

Ah, I guess the others there use "Special" instead of "No Action".

And you could add "Manuevers: " to the front of the name to make it consistent.

Then no one will ever know the difference. 🙈

[north sand]

I'll do that, thx for all the help!

[plain cave]

What would be the best way to add this for a sorcerer subclass?

[uneven lantern]

Add a class feature, then look for “Additional Spell List”.

[plain cave]

Thanks

[plain cave]

Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. How would I add this to a class feature?

[uneven lantern]

Add a Modifier with Type: Bonus, Subtype: Hit Points Per Level, Fixed Value: 1.

(Or something like that, anyway. 😅)

[plain cave]

Thanks!

Looking to use Iron Kingdoms content in my DND campaign with DND Beyond. Anybody have any insight or tips on entering some of those new classes Into the app? Gunfighter to start with.

[sweet dock]

its there on my laptop rn, i'll check on my pc again later

[uneven lantern]

There isn't currently a way to add homebrew classes -- only subclasses.

[edgy oriole]

Also 3rd party content like Iron Kingdoms has all sort of legal issues which makes it difficult/impossible for DnDBeyond to support it (copyright, distribution, etc.)

[dire kettle]

Which is why, in the past, I’ve just entered subclasses and such from third party as “homebrew” if I wanted to incorporate it.

[midnight kernel]

Is something not working with content sharing? I have a Master Tier subscription, but my players can no longer see all of my content...

First step would be to have everyone in the campaign (including the DM) to check that their Entitlements are in sync: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/7747224765588

[midnight kernel]

Thanks. That seems to have partially fixed it. Creating a new character now shows all the appropriate options, but existing characters are still limited when trying to edit them...?

[final trellis]

the existing characters are joined to the campaign? And pages have been refreshed since syncing entitlements?

[edgy oriole]

Are the right content toggles enabled?

[midnight kernel]

Yes.

[midnight kernel]

Yes, and yes.

[silk musk]

[ember pebble]

i am trying to make a spellcasting subclass similar to blood hunter's profaned soul, but when i try to add pact magic this happens. any suggestions on how to go about this?

[uneven lantern]

I can pass along the request. In the meantime, you could try adding it as a custom item directly on your character sheet. Just head to the Inventory Tab, click Manage Inventory, then look for Add Custom Item in the sidebar.

[uneven lantern]

Is it a Blood Hunter subclass, or something else? The homebrew system doesn’t give a whole lot of control over what slots you get.

[ember pebble]

its something else, but i guess that makes sense

just harder to manage is all

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, AFAIK, you can only add slots by giving it a feature called “Spellcasting” or “Pact Magic”, but the slots you get depend entirely on the class alone.

Strange that it still labels them “Pact”, though. 🤔

[ember pebble]

they do also reset when you click short rest, so they are by all means pact slots. just not the correct amount

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I think it’s safe to say you’re attempting something the system wasn’t really designed for. 😅

But that’s definitely an interesting mashup of behavior. I’ll pass it along for review, just in case.

[ember pebble]

cool, thank you

[uneven lantern]

What class was that for, anyway?

[ember pebble]

tis for barbarian

[uneven lantern]

Thanks. (I assume it’s gonna be the same for any martial that isn’t blood hunter, though.)

[ember pebble]

wonder what would happen if i put spellcasting on a blood hunter now...

as expected

[heavy smelt]

I have made a couple of magic weapons so far and despite starting with a +1 weapon the end result doesn't read on ddb as +1. Any advice?

[uneven lantern]

Does it still have a Modifier for Type: “Bonus”, Subtype: “Magic”, Fixed Value: “1”?

[heavy smelt]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to a character with one of these items? What’s the item called?

[heavy smelt]

https://ddb.ac/characters/75593627/5Bl7VH

Talon

[uneven lantern]

Did it always have that modifier, or did you add it in after it was on the sheet?

Can you try setting a Version for the item so we can make sure the sheet has the latest data?

[heavy smelt]

Yes

[heavy smelt]

Not sure how to do that

[uneven lantern]

Edit the homebrew and put something in the Value Version box.

Should be right at the top next to the name.

You can put literally anything there. Just want to make sure whatever you put shows up on the sheet.

[heavy smelt]

I dont see a "value"

[uneven lantern]

Sorry. Not Value. Version. I mistyped it the second time.

It’s in Basic Information, right next to the Name.

[heavy smelt]

Version 1 saved

[uneven lantern]

Basically just looking for that value to show up on the character sheet here:

Not there yet, but homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet.

If it shows up, we'll know it's not a caching issue. If not, we'll need to figure out why.

[heavy smelt]

Ok

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it's still not showing, so that's likely the issue. Your changes aren't making it over to that character sheet.

What happens if you try to add this to a new character?

Can you confirm the item is still in your My Homebrew Collection?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection

[heavy smelt]

https://ddb.ac/characters/76024031/dAsKef

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that character shows the version, but still not the modifier. 🤔

I see two Talons there. Are you sure you're using the right one on the sheet?

Also, that's a screenshot of My Creations. Can you check if it's in My Collection?

Hello! Do I have to have a subscription to create and use my own homebrew race for my own personal character sheet?

Hello. I was recently trying to make a character with the Fairy race as a part of a campaign but couldn't select it as an option despite the fact that the dm has the Master subscription and the books. Even when he tried to make the character for me it didn't allow him to select fairy.

There shouldn't be any extra steps to select a fairy, especially not for the person who owns that content.

Are you able to view it here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/814913-fairy

[hollow token]

On my end it takes me to buy screen for monsters of the Multiverse but my DM can see it.

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync? You can have your DM check, too.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

And if your DM goes to this page, do they see a checkmark next to that race?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the-multiverse

[hollow token]

Hang on let me ask him.

Your entitlements data is in sync! You should have nothing to worry about is what it's telling me.

We have uncovered the issue. He forgot to click pay.

Well thankyou for your help regardless.

[waxen quartz]

Why doesn't some spells show up? I cant find silence anywhere on spells to select. I think it is only the silence spell.

[modest pelican]

What class and level is your character?

[waxen quartz]

8 so it should have it. I have bought the players handbook

[modest pelican]

Can you link to the affected character?

[waxen quartz]

Ah i see that I am an idiot... it was the wrong class...

Sorry. Thanks anyway tho!

[modest pelican]

Lol, s'all good

[tropic pumice]

I'm hoping to unlock the Artificer class on D&D Beyond but I'd prefer not to purchase Tasha's guide. I see there is an option to buy individual subclasses. If I buy one of those subclasses (e.g. the Armorer) will that unlock the class as well? Or will I be stuck with a subclass and no way to access it?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Any artificer subclass will get you the base class as well.

Alchemist, Armorer, Artillerist, or Battle Smith

[tropic pumice]

Thank you!

[unreal shore]

Help. I’m creating a bunch of pre-gen characters. The names are not updating

The sheets on the page say <my id>’s character

[slow palm]

Hey everyone, I'm new here and really came in because I have a question about making a custom homebrew magic item in D&DB. I'm trying to add a spell (Elemental Weapon) to a new magic item, however I am unable to select this spell from the magic item list. I am able to see this spell otherwise in D&DB. FYI, one of my players in a campaign has content sharing enabled with me. I do not own the content on my account if it's relevant.

Does anyone know what's going on here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated 🙂

[dawn egret]

you don't own the spell.

you need to own the PHB on Beyond

[slow palm]

Right, it is kind of dumb though, because I'm actually able to use it pretty much everywhere else because of the content sharing.

[dawn egret]

sure, but for homebrew, you can only use what you actually own

[slow palm]

Aight, that clears that up then, still kind of weird, but I'll work around it 🙂 ty

[dawn egret]

o7

[uneven lantern]

To clarify, shared character options are only available within the campaign that’s sharing it. So your character have to be assigned to that campaign to use the spell.

Since the homebrew system is not part of any campaign, that’s why you’re not able to access it there.

You don’t technically need to own the PHB, though. Spells can also be purchased individually. (And whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.)

[autumn crown]

Any word on how the team is doing on that Spelljammer download fix for the Android app?

[modest pelican]

No ETA or update yet. As soon as there is, it will be announced

[granite cargo]

Are there any coupon codes for d&dbeyond atm?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond hasn't done coupon codes in some time and instead does directly applied discounts

[odd granite]

I have a question concerning the Plant Growth spell. How does the long version work - does it double the output by doubling the extraction of nutrients from the soil (i.e exhausting the land faster)?

[frigid pasture]

hey is dnd beyond dice rolls honestly randomised?

i have a little sister who thinks hackers are controlling our dice rolls

i just want an expert opinion

she thinks that im asking hackers to help me cheat at the game

i told her thats crazy but she won't listen

so can someone give her some insight

i'll show her the messages so she knows that dnd beyond is completely hacker free and im just lucky

[toxic halo]

me someone who is new altho played random dice games befor: hacker free

[frigid pasture]

good

see sis hacker free lol

[toxic halo]

oh and your dice could just be favoriting a number

[frigid pasture]

uhuh

the main point is no hackers

lol

[toxic halo]

lol

i am waiting for 2 doungeon masters to get back to me

[swift pier]

I am new to dnd beyond. I was wondering if someone could help me through some of the dming mechanics.

[toxic halo]

I am new here soo Dont ask me

[edgy oriole]

For help with DM’ing in general I recommend getting the DM role and checking out #dm-discussion

For questions about DND rules check out #dnd-rules

[modest pelican]

Yes, they are

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-rules

[pearl tangle]

is there a way to edit a monster's name in the encounter builder?

[modest pelican]

No, but you can make a homebrew copy and change the name there

[pearl tangle]

nothing computer generated is truly random. That said, it is highly unlikely hackers can influence your dice rolls

[topaz roost]

Pseudorandom, which is good enough

Also will specify

Given how long they take

The dice rolls appear to be done on the local processor

No way for hackers to get to them, though if they are done locally i suspect you might maybe sort of be able to cheat with a user script

...i see i missed the timestamp lol

That said, question

[cosmic pebble]

Lavarand is essentially random

More random than actual dice anyways

[topaz roost]

Foe the digital dice rolling, does the app generate values first and animate the dice, or does it do a physics simulation of the dice?

I'd assume the former but given how much time rolling takes on Linux it does seem like there's something graphically intensive happening

[edgy oriole]

The 3d physics is part of the random number generation algorithm

To improve performance, make sure Hardware Acceleration is turned on in your browser (many browsers have this disabled initially because most web pages don't need to do 3d rendering).

[open nova]

For some reason on dndbeyond, on my wizard it is not adding the spells I select after the first two...no matter what level I make the wizard

[little plume]

Because of issues with avare I changed the green flame blade into a magic weapon for the first target and a cantrip for the second target using ddb homebrew

Somthing changed between now and my last session
I could cast the cantrip fine but now after updating my character it's not working
On my ddb character sheet it's not listed as an action I can take it's under the other section wich is making avrae unable to recognize it as a cantrip

[little plume]

I do own green flame blade for the record

[knotty hazel]

can somone german my english is not so good

[solid kestrel]

You've renamed it "Green-Flame" which doesn't match the name "Green-Flame Blade"

So it sees a 'spell' called "Green-Flame" and doesn't know what it is, and it doesn't have a spell (homebrew automation with avrae, the tome stuff, etc) with the name "Green-Flame"

[barren knoll]

Is there a place to add feats to a character that wouldn't normally have one? I've seen the suggestion of adding certain things through homebrew feats, but do I also have to homebrew a race or subclass to allow it?

[lime gulch]

No. Look at the bottom of your features tab. "Manage Feats"

[little plume]

my only argument to that is it worked before and i didn't just rename it i actually split up the spell into a weapon and a spell

[forest glacier]

Is there a way to unpublish homebrew? If not is there any plan to implement such a thing?

[onyx cove]

Random question. But do I need a subscription in order to share some of my books to my new dnd players in my campaign?

i only wanna share the content in a singular campaign im running

[edgy oriole]

Unfortunately there is no good way to un-publish homebrew because other people and campaigns may use it and rely on it.
In the future, if something is not meant to be widely available for others to use, you don't have to publish your homebrew. Any homebrew you make this way will still be available for you to use personally and in your campaigns.

[modest pelican]

@onyx cove at least one person in your campaign needs a master tier subscription in order to share purchased content

@forest glacier it is not possible to unpublish homebrew content (as stated in the homebrew rules and guidelines that you confirm you have read each time you confirm you want to publish something) nor are there any plans to change that at this time

[forest glacier]

Damn, I only just found out that homebrew I made ages ago isn’t formatted correctly. I’ll have to make new versions 😂

[uneven lantern]

If you added a homebrew spell, you’ll need to also homebrew it in Avrae if you want to !cast it.
https://avrae.io/dashboard/homebrew/spells

[little plume]

how do i add spell slots to a fighter class for homebrew casting?

[spark bane]

What race should i use with a monk class?

[solid kestrel]

The issue is that you do not have a spell with the title of "Green-Flame Blade"
Avrae sees "Green-Flame" and doesn't know that spell. So it marks it as unknown.
If the spell is called "Green-Flame Blade" then Avrae will recognize it as the Green-Flame Blade spell, and associate your DDB sheet knowing it to let you cast using Avrae.
"splitting" is causing the issue because you renamed it. The renaming is the issue in the first place.
By the way, you don't need to do anything. You'd make an attack with a weapon as normal, then roll that damage on a hit for the spells effects.

[warped orchid]

When making a homebrew race that has subraces how do you get them to condense under the base race instead of basically all of them becoming separate choices for race options?

I'm also having issues with replacement features but I suspect it might be because there's no parent race selection so DDB doesn't know what can be replaced

[dawn egret]

you don't.

[warped orchid]

So they'll always be separated?

What about if you make a variant instead of a subrace? Will it have the base race and the variant separate or no?

[final trellis]

Depends - if the Variant or Subrace is linked to an official parent race, it would be grouped. If it is associated to a homebrew parent race, then it will be separate.

[warped orchid]

And what if I want the subrace separate from the base race? Because right now it's basically taking it over completely and there is no base race.

[final trellis]

lets step this back a bit - rather than getting fixated on groupings, what are you trying to create?

[warped orchid]

I'm trying to make the Kobold Press Erina race and its optional subrace. The base race is its own thing and then you can take the other version that has some traits of the original and some replacement traits.

I started trying to make it a subrace but it's making it all one thing so I know I definitely did something wrong

[final trellis]

So it is more like a human and Variant Human setup? You either are a Human or a Variant, and both can be selected?

[warped orchid]

Yeah basically

I'm thinking I need to redo it as a variant instead but idk

[dawn egret]

if it's "the base race but with stuff changed" then yes, it needs to be a Variant

Subraces require a base race + stuff that is NOT optional, while Variants are entirely optional

[final trellis]

Okay, so the main race gets setup and then you would check has variants, and then include the variant race as a subrace (but as the check box for variant would be there, both the parent and the variant are useable in the builder)>

This is separate from replacement racial traits - you can also have replacement features that can apply to the parent race/variant racial traits. For example, taking Human and Human variant, you could have a replacement trait that repalces the languages trait, or another that repalces the skill trait (from variant human)

From the PHB - Elves, Gnomes, halflings, Dwarves - these all have subraces (so there is traits from the aprent race that all of that race has) and then they must have a subrace that grants additional traits

Where as Humans, Dragonborn, and Tieflings have a Race and then variants - you are either the standard version of the race, or a variant of the race.

So depending on what a homebrew creation more closely aligns with is the format to basically copy in the homebrew tools

[warped orchid]

Ok I think I get it hopefully, thank you both for responding

[uneven lantern]

Any one you like! #character-discussion can help you examine your options, though.

(This channel is for technical help using D&D Beyond itself.)

[plush ridge]

I believe I have found a bug, where should I report that?

nevermind found the forum looks like someone reported the inifinite spells with the book of ancient secrets bug

and apparently not a bug at all who knew? lol

[dawn egret]

yeah, it's not a bug because you can eventually add every single ritual spell

you just start with two

[coral vessel]

Is there a way to link a homebrew item as a tooltip inside of another description? I keep seeing Tooltip not found

[dawn egret]

no. you can only tooltip official things

[uneven lantern]

You can add a link to it instead.

[brave cave]

Are the feats and backgrounds from Strixhaven only for bards?

[mental garden]

they are for everyone technicly

[brave cave]

Ok, so if I choose Silverquill student as background I should get Silverquill Initate feat. Does anyone know where in dndbeyond I will find that feat or do I have to add it myself?

[uneven lantern]

Once you get to the actual character sheet, go to Features & Traits, scroll down to Feats, and click the Manage Feats button. You can add it there.

[coral vessel]

I'm trying to create an item that increases an ability score by a fixed amount, but not set it to a static number. Can someone help me select the correct modifier options? I've tried various things, but they don't seem to be applying to a character that has it equipped.

[brave cave]

Dont seem to get the cantrips this way

[uneven lantern]

Did you select the cantrips you want there under Manage Feats?

[brave cave]

now i see it. thx 😄

[uneven lantern]

Type: "Bonus", Subtype: "Strength Score", Fixed Amount: "1" would increase your STR by 1, as an example.

[coral vessel]

OK, that's what I tried, but my char's score didn't change when the item was equipped

[uneven lantern]

Was that originally part of the item, or did you add it in afterwards? Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to show up on the sheet.

Or does the item require attunement?

[coral vessel]

At first I was using "Bonus" "Subtype: Ability Score Maximum", "STR", "Fixed: 2" but that didn't work. So this morning, I've been changing, saving, and checking every few minutes trying to iterate myself to success. Knowing that the items take 15 minutes to update helps. I'll have to change my methodology.

[coral vessel]

Do I need to set the "Ability Score" field to STR as well, or should I leave that blank?

[uneven lantern]

You can leave it blank.

[coral vessel]

Thanks for the Guidance 😉

[little plume]

is it possible to add wizard and warlock spells to fighter?

[uneven lantern]

You can’t edit the base class directly, but as a subclass, sure. That’s basically what Eldritch Knight already does.

[little plume]

ok

when i create a lvl 6 fighter, it can only learn up to lvl 1 spells, how do i increase this to lvl 3 spells?

[uneven lantern]

You can’t control what spell slots you get. It’s always going to follow the same progression as Eldritch Knight.

[little plume]

you cannot drop and drag spells like roll20, don't get why it's so hard to add spells

so there is nothing i can do?

dndbeyond is so restrictive

[uneven lantern]

You cam add the spell directly to the subclass and ignore spell slots altogether.

[little plume]

i tried that

that requires me to add every spell manually

you cannot search the spell like roll20 and just drop and drag it to character sheet

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond works in a way that's fundamentally different to roll20 I'm afraid

[little plume]

can i make a wizard with figher abilities?

is there really nothing at all i can do?

makes no sense to be so strict on adding spells to another class, they have homebrew built into their website

there is no point in my players using dndbeyond and roll20 just to access spells

i was hoping just to use dndbeyond

[solid kestrel]

Bladesinging subclass for Wizard.

[little plume]

it's fine, i gave up and made word document, but thank you

[solid kestrel]

Spellcasting granted via subclass is structured as having roughly one third of the progression of a "full caster". Only one third of that class's levels contribute to the multiclass spell slots total.

Having 3rd level spell slots as a 6th level fighter is power of an 11th level character (for 5 wizard to have 3rd level spells, and being 6th fighter) - or it can be technically achieved at 9th, with 3 levels in wizard and 6 in fighter - only one third (2) of those fighter (eldritch knight) levels contribute to multiclass spell slots total, totalling 5 for what caster level your spell slot array is. (heavy paraphrasing and simplification here)

[modest pelican]

This is not the channel for this discussion

[lone nymph]

hi, i'm trying to upload an avatar for a homebrew item, but nothing seems to be working
it's a private item, so there shouldn't be any problems there
i keep pressing upload, selecting the image, and it shows the file name there
but when i hit "save changes", it reverts back to "no file chosen"
tried in different browser too
am i doing something wrong? i can't find any information on this

[modest pelican]

The file could be too large

All images have a recommended resolution, plus anything with too large a file size will be rejected too

[lone nymph]

properties says it's 108x108 pixels and 1.40 kb

[grim finch]

I created a homebrew warlock sub-class that gives a choice of resistance at level 10. (The Hoarder: https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/1182920-the-hoarder - can't publish, unfortunately)

For some reason, at level 15, characters who have chosen the sub-class lose their selected choice and it instead shows on their sheets as having every option. I've triple checked and the class feature doesn't show anything that would indicate granting the rest of the features at level 15, and from level 10 - 14 it works correctly. Is there something I'm missing?

Oh woah - if I go back to the level the feature is gained at (level 10) and try to re-select the option
This happens in the character's resistances

Something tells me that's not how that's supposed to work

[last sigil]

Question: I’m helping a friend homebrew stuff for a campaign.
My friend is sharing content with me since he has most of them.
I try looking for an item found in the XGTE but I cannot homebrew it.
I can get it on my character sheets and see it in the sourcebook but cannot homebrew it.
Is this intentional?

[dawn egret]

you can only use stuff you own personally as homebrew base

so yes, it is intentional

[last sigil]

Damn, Well I’ll go homebrew the stuff I own, hopefully it’s enough to help him .

Thanks dude.

[gilded escarp]

Hi there, I'm trying to create a homebrew race, and the spells arent being applied to my character sheet - the languages and ability scores are.

I'm not sure what I've done wrong, attached an example

[topaz roost]

Is there a way to add a feat or feature to a character sheet that wouldn't be possible with the class itself? DM for one of my games occasionally gives class features as quest rewards

Its possible on roll20 of course but we try to keep DDB as the "canonical" sheet

[robust fable]

A dm has shared their Spelljammer campaign with me and I have a player in the campaign. And he showed me a screen shot that sharing is turned on. I can’t choose the new races though.

[dawn egret]

is your character in the campaign?

[robust fable]

Yes.

[topaz roost]

Try to Synchronize Account Entitlements

[robust fable]

I’ve seen that idea. When I go to the link that allows that, I don’t see anything that says “sync”.

[topaz roost]

It's a bit out of the way

[final trellis]

I'd recommend getting every person in the campaign to check their entitlements.

[robust fable]

Is it only available on desktop, the ability to sync?

[topaz roost]

I don't think so, but don't have a way to test

Either way it might be actually broken by the look of it

[robust fable]

Is this the place to ask or do I need to log a ticket somewhere?

[final trellis]

Can you provide the URL of your character sheet?

And trust me, it will be something like someone's entitlements out of sync, i can assure you nothing is "broken" with sharing

[robust fable]

https://ddb.ac/characters/83430068/FEGZqY

The dm says nothing is out of sync on his end.

[final trellis]

There is no sharing on the campaign

[robust fable]

Ahhh…that makes sense.

[final trellis]

I can see you have multiple campaigns with the DM - one of them does have sharing, but the character linked is in a campaign that doesn't have sharing. To use shared content, the character has to be joined to the campaign where the content is being shared.

[uneven lantern]

You can add feats at any time directly on the character sheet, yeah. (Features & Traits -> Manage Feats).

You can also add custom actions directly to the character sheet, which often work for that. (Actions -> Manage Custom)

[topaz roost]

Roger

Could i add, say, a feature from a class?

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to recreate it as a homebrew feat first, but yes.

[topaz roost]

Roger

[uneven lantern]

(For private use only, though; please don’t publish it.)

Or if you do a custom action, you can just copy+paste the description in.

[topaz roost]

Of course

Thank you

[wet knoll]

HI! I am trying to add the eldrich cannon as an extra on my character sheet

however I see only the steel defender

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to create a homebrew statblock if you want it on the Extras tab.

If you do see Steel Defender, that’s probably somebody’s homebrew.

[prisma bough]

My subscription was unexpectedly ended today. Just checking here to make sure that it is my not having registered a new card (from about a year ago), and not a widespread issue? Will be playing a game tonight and seem to be unable to update my subscription through the page, so I'm slowly turning a little desperate, as I can't seem to determine what I am doing wrong

[main fractal]

Does anyone know how i remove the + damage modifier that gets applied to my custom spells? i want the proficiency bonus for hit/dc but not for the damage

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to update your subscription?

[uneven lantern]

It shouldn't be adding the proficiency bonus to damage to begin with. 🤔

Can you share a link to that character?

[main fractal]

@uneven lantern https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/81083820

the spell Chilly chill chill im just trying to figure out how custom spells work

i dont understand why there is a +2 to the damage it gets added when i check the proficiency bonus marker

since i do want the bonus for the hit/dc

[topaz roost]

Probably something in the homebrew tools themselves

[main fractal]

Atm i can fix i by Going in and do -2 damage that removes it just kinda odd

[uneven lantern]

Well for starters, your spell attack bonus of +4 already includes your proficiency bonus.

And is this just a renamed Chill Touch? Or is there something else different about it?

Because if it's only the name, you can just change that directly on the character sheet. You don't need to make a homebrew spell for that.

As far as I can tell, the spell is already correct based on its description.

[main fractal]

I just used chill touh as template

Wanted to learn how to do Custom spells

Touch

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of where you're setting the proficiency bonus?

[main fractal]

Yea sec

[uneven lantern]

That page doesn't have a box for proficiency bonus.

If you're clicking "Use Primary Stat", then that's going to add your spellcasting modifier -- which for your wizard is a +2 INT.

And since the modifier type is Damage, that's where it's going to get added: to the damage.

[main fractal]

but i dont have use primary stat on

[uneven lantern]

What I see on your character sheet matches what's shown on the screenshot above. 1d8 necrotic damage.

[main fractal]

fml it does

must have had it on use primary stat

Thanks alot looks like it works xD

[sand gyro]

Is there anyway to make Gestalt characters using the home brew section on DnD Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

Not easily

And depending on the combo, possibly not at all.

But you could try to rebuild those class features as subclass features.

[sand gyro]

So eg Rogue/Fighter gestalt. Build a subclass for Rogue and add all fighter features?

[frosty zealot]

Erm hello! Is there a moderator online that could help me atm?

[gilded escarp]

I'm having trouble getting feat spells to work on my character, the description is showing up on character sheet, but the spells aren't accessible

[uneven lantern]

Fighter would be a relatively easy one to do, sure.

But your rogue won’t get a subclass until level 3. If you’re starting earlier, you might need a homebrew feat for the early levels.

[uneven lantern]

Is this an official feat, or a homebrew one?

[scenic grove]

if I have the Silverquill Student background how do I get my spells from the silverquill initiate feat reflected on my sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Add them where you added the feat.

[gilded escarp]

homebrew feat using official spells, the whole "you know this spell. at level 3 you learn this spell, at level 5 you learn this spell, they share the same long rest reset"

[uneven lantern]

Were the spells added to the feat before the feat was added to the character sheet, or edited in after?

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet.

[gilded escarp]

its been over 15 hours now

[uneven lantern]

Then yeah, probably not caching.

Can you share a screenshot of how those spells were added in the feat?

[gilded escarp]

DM'd you

[uneven lantern]

There's an app update today that should fix this issue.

[autumn crown]

You're my hero ❤️❤️

Like I'm honestly touched you reached out to me ❤️

That's awesome. Very much appreciated!

[edgy oriole]

The DDB mods are awesome - I really love how they help build up and participate with the community.

[autumn crown]

I don't lurk on this discord much but every time I reach out spamandtuna has been amazingly helpful and informative.

Which is partly surprising because I imagine spam and tuna in a macaroni salad would be. . . Questionable.

[topaz roost]

Tuna goes surprisingly well with macaroni and cheese

[autumn crown]

Absolutely.

But so far this is the only combination I've seen tuna and spam work well in lol.

[lone nymph]

figured i'd sleep on it to see if it was just acting up, still not working today though

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

What file type are you using?

[lone nymph]

tried it in firefox too, didn't work there either

just a png

i know it's possible for the file to be too big, is it possible that the inverse is true? (image being too small)

[shy bramble]

Does anyone know how to clear the senses override?

If I set it to 0 my passive WIS is 0

I want to clear this so its just calculated by the app

I want to remove the override completely

[uneven lantern]

Just delete it

[shy bramble]

I cant

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to delete it?

[tough patio]

Are you able to make homebrew weapons on mobile?

[edgy oriole]

The homebrew tools are website only

[uneven lantern]

You can do it in a mobile browser, at least.

Just not in the app.

[edgy oriole]

But to be fair, the tools are not optimized for mobile use

[tough patio]

Ok I'll have to get someone to do that, thanks

How would one make a homebrew set of gauntlets

[viral sable]

In a subclass feature, is there a way to add a BA action for an ability based melee attack that does not add that ability modifier to the damage. I've tried general and weapon actions and for the life of me, cannot figure out how to do it.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t believe so.

[prisma bough]

I get sent through three redirects of pages, before ending on a page that says Unpaid, where I have the option to contact support (through WotC-site, that I did not have a login for), and to cancel my subscription. Because I had a game last night and couldn't wait any longer on support, I ended up cancelling my sub and sign up again. I hope that I have not lost any benefit from the intermittent period of not being subscribed, but I have yet to check up on that.

[gleaming gulch]

How do I make a magic item that has a spell dc match your own spell dc

Is that a thing?

[grim finch]

Update on this, for anyone that was curious
If any Option under a class feat has Is Granted check-marked, it completely breaks the class feat
Once I unchecked "Is Granted" from all the resistance options, the drop-down started working correctly and the character only shows the resistance that was selected

I've managed to reproduce this in other homebrew classes; seems odd to me that "Is Granted" is even allowed to be enabled on options by the nature of option vs granted

[uneven lantern]

I would assume it works that way by default, if you just don't give it its own DC.

Per the rules here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dmg/treasure#Spells

[gleaming gulch]

So I need to give it a custom spell?

[uneven lantern]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're after here.

What exactly are you trying to make?

[gleaming gulch]

Okay. Let me post the item description the dm gave

Weight:

Cost:

Notes:
Rod, uncommon(requires attunement by a spellcaster)
This bone rod is carved into the shape of twisting tendrils or tentacles.

-You can use this rod as an arcane focus. The rod has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. When you cast a spell that requires an attack roll and that deals damage while holding this rod, you can expend 1 of its charges as part of the casting to enhance that spell. If the attack hits, the spell also releases tendrils that bind the target, grappling it for 1 minute. At the start of each of your turns, the grappled target takes 1d6 damage of the same type dealt by the spell. At the end of each of its turns, the grappled target can make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, freeing itself from the tendrils on a success. The rod’s magic can grapple only one target at a time. If you use the rod to grapple another target, the effect on the previous target ends.

What I’m trying to do, is make a magic item that has the spell dc of the caster and lists the damage for the effect

[uneven lantern]

So you want it to show up on the Actions tab with the DC and damage?

I don't think that's possible with a magic item alone, tbh.

[gleaming gulch]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

You could probably pair it with a homebrew feat, though.

(Assuming this is for private use. I wouldn't publish it that way.)

[gleaming gulch]

It is private yeah. And why a feat?

[uneven lantern]

Magic Items don't allow you to add Actions. Feats do.

Feats can also be added at-will to a character sheet, making it a little easier than trying to add that Action through a race or subclass.

[gleaming gulch]

Why not make a custom spell to tie to the item?

[uneven lantern]

A spell would show up on the Spells tab of your sheet. Whether that’s a good thing or not is up to you.

But a spell also has to be associated with a class, and it would show up for any member of that class in any of your campaigns.

[leaden harbor]

Hi, I’m trying to create a homebrew item that provides +1 bonus to hit and damage for the Soulknife’s psychic blade attacks. I’m failing. Anyone who has done this and can educate me, I would be grateful. Thanks for the advice.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll have to manually apply those bonuses directly on the character sheet.

Just click on the attack and open the Customize section in the sidebar.

[odd granite]

Are there any monsters that specifically target people?

Like, in the natural environment, instead of a dungeon or something

[modest pelican]

That's not a question for this channel, which is for getting help using the D&D Beyond tools, site, and services. You want #dnd-discussion or #dm-discussion

[thorny elm]

Hello, I’m trying to re-enable dice rolling for my character and every time I do so it disables it immediately, help would be most appreciated.

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

[modern lark]

i just bought (I am GM) Monsters of the Multiverse. I have compendium sharing turned on for my campaign. When I make a character, I see it as a source; my players do not. Any help please? They see the other books I have shared...

I think i just figured it out - they dont see the books until they join the campaign, but they are making characters first. is there a way to get them to see books during creation?

[peak igloo]

If you send your players the campaign invitation link they get to choose to either creat a new character in the campaign or if they want to add a character to that campaign.

That should allow them to use the books while creating the characters

[modern lark]

thanks!!

[stoic pasture]

Hi! I need tokens to print in A4 size. Anybody has a link? Thanks a lot!

[autumn crown]

Any idea when they're pushing that through. I haven't seen it on the Google play store yet.

[uneven lantern]

AFAIK, it was already released.

I had already downloaded the iOS version of that update before I even messaged you.

[autumn crown]

Weird. Maybe its just not pushed on Android yet?

I could try reinstalling the whole thing but that's a pain.

[topaz roost]

Just grabbed it on Androif myself

[autumn crown]

Let me know if you have trouble downloading spelljammer 🤣

I own all the things on DDB so if I need a clean install I'll have to plan for it.

Definitely can't do it today.

[uneven lantern]

What's your current app version?

[autumn crown]

2.17

[uneven lantern]

I'm being told they do staged rollouts, so it might be available for different people at different times.

You can try to force stop both the DDB app and Google Play to see if that prompts the update.

[autumn crown]

I'll give it a shot! Thanks!

Still nothing

[wet elbow]

Question, my character is a level 3 Gloom Stalker Ranger and Hail of Thorns is not showing on my spell list. Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased that spell from the PHB?

[wet elbow]

I have it as shared content in my campaign

[uneven lantern]

Is your character assigned to that campaign?

[wet elbow]

On the character selection page it states it as so

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[wet elbow]

Your entitlements data is in sync! You should have nothing to worry about, but contact our Support Team if you're having problems accessing your purchased content.

[uneven lantern]

Are you in more than one campaign with content sharing enabled?

[wet elbow]

Nope just the one haha

[uneven lantern]

Can you have whoever owns that content check here to make sure there's a checkmark next to that spell?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

[wet elbow]

Yes they have the check mark

[uneven lantern]

Well, everything definitely sounds like it's set up correctly. 🤔

Can you share a screenshot of your spell list? Where the spell should be?

[autumn crown]

Does the person who created the campaign have all the content enabled?

[uneven lantern]

Doesn't matter for character options.

Manage Content only restricts compendium access -- i.e. reading the book.

(It's mostly meant just to stop people from reading ahead in an adventure.)

As long as someone in the campaign own that spell, and the character is assigned to that campaign, the spell should be accessible for that character.

[autumn crown]

Really? I thought if you didn't have that content enabled it wouldn't allow content from that book. I was thinking maybe they didn't have the PHB enabled.

[uneven lantern]

Nah, that wouldn't restrict character options on the character sheet.

[autumn crown]

Maybe I was thinking of character setup. Could they only have basic rules enabled?

Nope that's not it either.

[uneven lantern]

There are a number of content toggles in the character settings that can show or hide options, but since this is from the PHB, it should be available even with all those turned off.

[autumn crown]

Sorry this sounded really similar to an issue one of my players had.

It might have been they just didn't actually make the character in the campaign so they only had access to the basic rules.

[wet elbow]

I thought this as well but if I didn't have the access I wouldn't be able to make a Gloom Stalker

[autumn crown]

Yeah my only other ideas would be to try remaking the character, or join another campaign with everything enabled, leaving that campaign, and then rejoining theirs.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to that character?

[wet elbow]

sure

https://ddb.ac/characters/82376144/9HUxy7

[autumn crown]

I'll stop not helping now 🤣

Good luck you guys!

Pretty sure tuna's got this. ❤️

[merry prism]

I was able to click on manage spells and LEARN on the spell for you. Hope that helps.

[uneven lantern]

That character doesn't appear to be in a campaign, though.

[merry prism]

I'm in a meeting atm, so can't dive on why it wasn't working though

[wet elbow]

it shows it here?

[uneven lantern]

Very strange 🤔

It would normally show the campaign up here in the corner if that was the case.

[wet elbow]

hm yeah weird, my screen in that area just shows rest and builder options

for every character, even though they're all in the campaign

[uneven lantern]

For example:

[wet elbow]

Strange, not sure why mine wouldn't carry over

also you need a heal 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Just had a nasty fight with ||a red wizard of Thay and his thugs||.

Took 35 damage in a single hit. 😬

[wet elbow]

Oooo Ouch!

[uneven lantern]

Protector cannon FTW, or I'd have been rolling death saves.

Anyway... I'm really not sure why that isn't showing up for you. :/

Everything definitely sounds like it's set up correctly.

[wet elbow]

I feel like it happens normally after I go back to the builder to level up

[uneven lantern]

I'd suggest contacting customer support. Hopefully they can take a look under the hood and figure out what's going on.

[wet elbow]

if I delete and rejoin the campaign all the options will show up

but when I level up or unlearn spells sometimes they don't show everything

I tried on a diff character

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, something weird's going on, then. Support can help:
https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=6098987232148

[wet elbow]

Awesome, thanks Tuna

[thorny elm]

Yes

[obsidian jewel]

Hey i currently bought swashbuckler for a campaign but now it's not showing up for a choice.

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

If you go to this page, is there a checkmark next to Swashbuckler?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/sword-coast-adventurers-guide

[uneven lantern]

Can you walk through the problem in a little more detail, then? What exact steps are you taking and what happens as a result?

[thorny elm]

Well on whatever browser or device I try to re-enable dice rolling for my character, it disables it immediately even though I try to edit my character it also rejects my request to enable it.

[uneven lantern]

So not refreshing the page or anything? It just switches back off while you’re watching it?

[thorny elm]

yes

i think its a glitch it has been doing this for a month now

[uneven lantern]

I wonder if it’s just trying and failing to save the chance for some reason.

What browsers did you try on what kinds of devices?

Are you using a VPN or some other kind of security software?

[thorny elm]

on chrome with my phone and computer

I didn't use any VPN or security software

and even for different characters, i created

[uneven lantern]

Does it happen in Chrome’s incognito mode?

[thorny elm]

i didn't try

[thorny elm]

the same glitch in incognito mode.

[uneven lantern]

You can create it as a homebrew monster and add it to the Extras tab of a character sheet.

[topaz roost]

Could work. Thanks!

(Though they've mentioned a desire in the past for more robust support.)

[topaz roost]

[uneven lantern]

[austere tundra]

quick question

I added a homebrew race to my library

but it doesnt show up in the character builder

what am I doing wrong?

[uneven lantern]

Did you turn on Homebrew Content for that character?

[austere tundra]

yup

its also in my list of hombrew stuff that I subscribed to

[uneven lantern]

When you say you added it, is this something you created, or it public homebrew that you added to your collection?

[austere tundra]

its a public one that I added to my collection

sorry forgot to specify

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[austere tundra]

yupp

[flint narwhal]

is it possible to create an account without a google or apple account?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need one of those two to create an account.

[thorny elm]

That sucks

[topaz roost]

I was able to sign in with Twitch, mind

[uneven lantern]

Sounds like everything’s set up correctly. 🤔

Can you share a link to that race?

[flint narwhal]

welp nvm then

[austere tundra]

@uneven lantern https://www.dndbeyond.com/races/50478-dragon-elf-draakelf

[heady depot]

im trying to configure a battle axe in D&D beyond and i need to change the damage beacause its magical and can poision people
pls help

[frigid pasture]

hey

my dnd beyond content sharing isn't there anymore

it says i have hero as my current plan when i just bought master yesterday

whats wrong?

[slow quarry]

Hey is there someone that could explain to me how I can give a class/subclass feature multiple chooseable spells from specific spell schools, so two 1st level spells at level 1, two 2nd level spells at level 3, two 3rd level spells at 5 and so forth. If possible if one spell gets selected that spell disappears in the second selection at that level

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to create it as a custom action or a magic item instead. You won’t be able to do it through the Customize menu.

[heady depot]

ok

[uneven lantern]

I’d guess the payment didn’t through, but no one here has access to billing information.

I’d suggest checking with your bank to verify payment. If that did go through, then you’ll probably want to check with DDB customer support instead.
https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=6098987232148

[uneven lantern]

There isn’t a built-in way to limit by spell school. You’d have to click Add a Spell, find the Spell field, and list each spell individually. The player will then be prompted to choose between them. Then rinse and repeat based on the number of choices.

[deft sun]

D&D beyond race creator keeps crashing and deleting the race I’ve an iPad so guessing that’s why never had a website crash any fixes known or are we locked out of making races?

[slow quarry]

but that is not with the "has options" checkbox right? is there a way to make it that the first chosen spell does not appear in the second selection?

[uneven lantern]

No, you don’t need Has Options.

And I think it will already stop you from making the same choice more than once.

But you’d have to try it and see.

[uneven lantern]

Guess not, then.

[slow quarry]

guess I'll have to live with that for now, thank you

[heady depot]

how do you do that

[uneven lantern]

You can make a custom action directly on the character sheet. Just look for the “Manage Custom” button at the top of the Actions tab.

[heady depot]

but how do i make it posion

[uneven lantern]

For a magic item, you’d have to create it with the homebrew tools.

[uneven lantern]

If you’re doing a custom action, just select poison for the damage type.

[heady depot]

in a custom action can i have it that it does posion and slashing damage

@uneven lantern

[uneven lantern]

Not as a custom action, no. Sorry, your first message just said you wanted to change the damage type, not add an additional one.

You’ll need a magic item for that.

[heady depot]

i also need to know how too do that

where can you do that

[uneven lantern]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-magic-item

I’d select something like a Dagger of Venom or a Flame Tongue to start, then adjust as needed.

[heady depot]

ok

[heady depot]

how do i add it to a character in a campaign

the magic item i made

[odd granite]

I'm trying to use the filter in the monster list but it won't let me say "Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing from Nonmagical Attacks". It's not working

[uneven lantern]

You probably need to enable Homebrew Content for that character, in the character settings.

[heady depot]

got it

[uneven lantern]

In what way is it not working?

[odd granite]

I fixed it ☺️

[topaz roost]

And here we have a classic example of someone fixing their issue and never explaining how they fixed it or what the issue was

Other people having a similar issue searching for a solution, or the developers wanting to correct the issue or or help their users with it, are helped significantly by such information

[past burrow]

i was deleting encounters and whenever i hit the delete button, there was a pop-up that kept saying something like are you sure want to delete this.

[hidden tide]

hey I'm having trouble adding a choice of 4 proficiencies on my custom race

it won't let me choose, it just adds all four

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to use Options if you want to give them a choice.

Set up each available proficiency as its own Option, with the appropriate Modifier inside.

Then on the main page for that Racial Feature, look for a box called “Character Levels Where Options Known”. You probably want a 1 there (for a single choice at level 1).

[hidden tide]

okay so

I have the options page set up

and I want to have the proficiency choices of
Arcana, History, Perception, or Religion.

what should I do to like, the options page?

like what do I put for descriptions and all that

[uneven lantern]

Create one Option called Arcana.

Once it’s saved, you can add a Modifier to it with Type: Proficiency, Subtype: Arcana.

Then rinse and repeat for your remaining choices.

[stuck orchid]

Hello. Im trying to make a custome subclass for sorcerer so i can change my initial divine magic spell for something else as i gain levels. I saw a way to do it by making a custome subclass and using as template divine soul but in the Page where you can create the subclass the only subclass that appears is draconic bloodline

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to own the subclass yourself to make a copy of it.

If it’s being shared with you instead, you can ask the person who does own that to do it on your behalf.

Ooooh thanks. Yeah its Being shared

https://ddb.ac/characters/83903966/RjhYrQ

[prisma rampart]

hmm, i lokk in to that, thx.

[uneven lantern]

I'm betting you put your expected modifiers where you should have put your actual ability scores.

[hushed pine]

Wdym?

[uneven lantern]

If you want a +2, your score would have to be 14 or 15.

[hushed pine]

Ye i did it

But it's -4

[uneven lantern]

Your Strength modifier is -4 because your Strength score is 2.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/step-by-step-characters#AbilityScoresandModifiers

If you want your Strength modifier to be +2, your Strength score should be 14 or 15, as shown in the table above.

To give contexts
They are a aasimar fighter Gunslinger

[uneven lantern]

There is no official feat called Alter. Did you mean Alert?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/alert

[modern cedar]

Yeah sorry for spelling it incorrectly

The feat in question has a reaction for some odd reason? I never approved of it

[topaz roost]

If your player is using a homebrew feat and pretending it's a core feat, call them out

Probably a discussion for #dm-discussion though

[uneven lantern]

When you say you “can’t find it on the list of feats”, are you referring to the official version or the homebrew one? And on which list specifically?

[regal adder]

So I have the app, have Tasha’s, xanathars and players handbook but I’m unable to select devotees censer as a weapon for my character sheet, is it in a different book or am I just doing something wrong

You might double-check the spelling to start: Devotee's Censer.

Do you own Tasha’s yourself, though, or is it being shared with you?

[regal adder]

I own it through the app alongside the others

Yeah you are right though I misspelled it

[modest pelican]

It should be here

You can only share in up to 5 campaigns at a time

[frigid pasture]

i only have one campaign tho

[modest pelican]

If you already have sharing enabled in 5 campaigns, the button won't be visible

[frigid pasture]

thats so strange

this is what i see

[modest pelican]

How long ago did you upgrade?

[frigid pasture]

just a few mins ago

that was after my sub kept turning on and off

[modest pelican]

It might take a few minutes to update; give it 30 minutes and if it still hasn't updated, submit a customer service ticket

[frigid pasture]

ok ty homie

Also check that your entitlements are in sync

Having an odd issue where my custom character portrait doesn't load on my sheet. I've tried changing and re-uploading it, but it never actually shows up on the sheet itself.

This is, obviously, not a high severity problem. Just curious if it was a known issue and/or if there are any known workarounds or fixes from the client side.

Images not loading is usually a local browser issue. I'd recommend clearing your browser's cache and cookies for D&D Beyond.

[empty totem]

A dev mode reset after clearing cache / cookies fixed it. Thanks!

Why is it not possible to edit or delete published homebrewed spells?

[uneven lantern]

To prevent unexpected changes for anyone using those spells.

(You can publish an updated version for that spell, but users will need to manually switch to it if they desire.)

[tough trout]

Though I don't want the previous version to be in my list of creations anymore. And as it is for a sub class it is always prepared on my players character sheet.

When creating a new spell it would show up two identical spells in my players list of spells

[uneven lantern]

If it's just for your players, there was no need to publish it at all; you would have been able to edit it freely.

But once it gets published to the global community where you don't have a direct line of communication to those who might be effected, then those people should have a choice in whether or not to accept those changes.

[tough trout]

I see, I thought they had to be public to be used. Though it also had to be public to discuss it with others on forums so they could see and help for balance. So far they have no views other than my players so would not really affect anyone.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, your homebrew gets shared automatically with your campaigns.

Without publishing, you're correct that you wouldn't be able to share the link with anyone outside your campaigns, though.

(But unless your homebrew has already been balanced and playtested, it probably shouldn't be published yet anyway.)

Anyway, you don't need to create a whole new spell to update it. Just change the version of your existing spell, inside the Basic Information section.

I think that should be enough to update it for your players. The published version would remain unaltered unless you publish again.

[tough trout]

As in clicking on "Create New Version" on the published spell creating a copy of it?

[uneven lantern]

TBH, I've never actually published anything myself. I'm not sure exactly how the versioning process works.

[modest pelican]

Clicking create new version will make an unpublished duplicate. When you publish that duplicate after making changes, it will replace the original in the homebrew listings, but the original will be listed and accessible through the version history at the bottom of the item description

Hi, is there a place where I can give a feedback or check on currently sent ones? I usually checked in the Zendesk link in the DDB Forum for feedback, but the link is not online anymore, i get redirected to a Wizards page. (I wanted to check if the ask for the optional rule for Slow natural Healing on the DMG had been answered)

[frigid pasture]

hey i made a campaign and enabled content sharing

do my player's need to have their characters in the campaign for their character's to be able to use the races and subclasses etc. that i have given by content sharing

?

[uneven lantern]

Yes, they do.

[frigid pasture]

or can they just use the content shared on a character outside of the campaign?

oh oki

ty

[uneven lantern]

#ddb-feedback is a good place to send that kind of feedback, but I can pass the request along from here.

[tough trout]

Thanks for the information. Should I mark it as version 1.1 then?

[timber dock]
