[uneven lantern]

Based off it how, exactly?

The number of uses?

Those are set inside an Action. Look for a Limited Use section at the very bottom of that screen.

There’s a checkbox there for Use Proficiency Bonus, and a dropdown to pick whether to either add it to or multiply it by the Fixed Value.

[timber dock]

yeah

[acoustic harbor]

Hello all, is it just me, or is the Order of the Profane Soul Subclass for Blood Hunters broken?

I can't access any of the Pact Magic Patrons

[uneven lantern]

You need to pick the subclass that ends with (INT) or (WIS).

[acoustic harbor]

Ah. So that's why that option exist

Thanks!

Bit unrelated, but you can't homebrew your own Class right?

And is it possible to edit a Classes HP dice, Proficiencies, and Abilities?

[uneven lantern]

Not classes, no. Just subclasses.

You can manually adjust those three specific things directly on the character sheet, though.

Well, not the hit die, but total HP.

[acoustic harbor]

Hmm... Well that's a bummer

[strong adder]

Morning All - any way in DDB to create a new container? Tried using the Portable Hole as a template when creating a new magic item but nothing I do seems to get it to be a container when it goes into inventory.

[uneven lantern]

I don't think so, but you can add a portable hole to your character sheet and rename it there.

[strong adder]

Okay - that will work - how do I do that?

[uneven lantern]

Click on it in your inventory, then open the Customize menu in the sidebar.

[strong adder]

Wow - love learning new things - thank you

[lapis geyser]

We still can't put containers in containers right?

[modest pelican]

Due to how containers work, no

[lapis geyser]

I didn't think so, but it's been a while so I wasn't sure. Thanks.

[naive mauve]

what does the text that is highlighted mean?

[modest pelican]

You can pick any item that you have proficiency with; a weapon, armour, tool etc

[naive mauve]

oh damn

that's nice

[naive mauve]

I'm guessing thats only common armor?

So nothing liek mithril half plate?

Oh wait

it's only tools

[modest pelican]

That would be a rules question, not one for this channel

[little plume]

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failed save, the creature takes 1d10 damage of the type associated with your Gem Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10). You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

How do I fix this snippet to fit the text??

FYI I used Dragonborn as a template to get the breath weapon but it’s a little different

[onyx ridge]

creating a half-drow, it doesn't give me the option of choosing Deep Speech or Undercommon as my Language choice. I believe they used to be options, anyone know if something changed that they aren't available anymore?

Ok, nevermind I see they weren't options because I already was given those languages! lol <face palm>

[uneven lantern]

The saving throw type isn’t determined by their ancestry. I’d remove that parenthetical.

Change {{savedc:dex}} to {{savedc:con}}.

I was gonna suggest scale value for the damage, but that only works for subclasses, it seems. 🤔

[little plume]

What about the cone part?

Or is that covered by the constitution save

[uneven lantern]

<b>{{1+(characterlevel+1)/6#rounddown}}d10</b> for the damage

What do you mean by “the cone part”, specifically?

[little plume]

The attack being a cone

[true dust]

I have created an artificer on DNDBeyond and I'm noticing that it lacks a bit of the features that other classes have. Example being that you can choose your pact/hexblade weapon for warlock, but cannot choose your Enhanced Weapon for artificer to give the added bonuses. Is this a feature incoming where you can apply the bonuses or is it something I am missing?

[real path]

enhanced weapon works in ddb

[uneven lantern]

Are we still talking about the snippet? You’d just write that it’s a cone.

[little plume]

Ok thanks

[true dust]

I don't see the option for a check box or anything in ddb

[real path]

you selected the infusion on level up i assume, right?

[true dust]

Same with repeating shot

[uneven lantern]

Here’s how I’d write that snippet:

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw (<b>DC {{savedc:con}}</b>). On a failed save, the creature takes <b>{{1+(characterlevel+1)/6#rounddown}}d10</b> damage of the type associated with your Gem Ancestry. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage.

[true dust]

Yes. I have it as one of my 4 infusions I can use

[real path]

okay and did you see the Infusion tab under Inventory?

after attunement

[little plume]

I have an artificer, you can only do it in browser and you select infusion under inventory to apply them by clicking on the weapon you want

[true dust]

Oooooooh

[true dust]

That's interesting. No I did not do that but see the tab now

I was looking for it to be similar to the hexblade warlock where it's a checkbox

[real path]

ah yeah no, it works quite differently

[true dust]

Thank you for the assistance. Weird that it isn't consistent

[real path]

infusions are a bit more complicated, probably thats why they did it this way

[true dust]

Is it because you have more infusion OPTIONS and can only apply a limited number?

[little plume]

But leads me to wonder how do you do them for others

[real path]

more options and some infusions do a lot more than pact of the blade does

[true dust]

Also a good question since I have one of my infusions on one of my party members

[real path]

also you cant give your infusions to other party members in ddb sadly and some dont have a magic item equivalent so you need to homebrew in those cases

[little plume]

In the description it says you can forgo the attunment but I figured you did that when infusing others item? Did I read it wrong

[real path]

not sure what you mean

[uneven lantern]

In the case of Enhanced Weapon, you can have that person manually add the bonus to the chosen weapon.

[little plume]

Does it work with enhahance armor/shield too?

[uneven lantern]

They’d click on their AC to add the bonus instead, but yeah.

[little plume]

Ok

[jolly pulsar]

Can enyone help me fine a group that starts at 9pm cst plz dm me

[real path]

giving out enhanced armor/weapon is easy. you can just add the equivalent magic item to a character sheet.

stuff like radiant weapon is more of a challenge

[true dust]

Ok so I gave my musket the repeating shot infusion. Now it isn't adding the changed stats from the class feature Battle Ready since it's now a magical weapon

It should have received additional to hit based on my INT modifier

[uneven lantern]

Works for me. Can you share a link to your character?

[true dust]

did you get it? or need me to dm you?

oh rip. i figured out my issue

i didn't click "Create Infusion". i'm a dumb lol

thanks

how come i cant dm people

some people have it in their settings to only allow people they are friends with

i tried to dm @naive lodge it did not go throw

[true dust]

Jinx?

[true dust]

So...i'm back. With Infusion issues. Repeating shot and Enhance Weapon both give +1 to attack and damage rolls per the description. I tried doing it on my musket, for either infusion. Enhance Weapon gives my musket +8 to hit and +5 dmg. Repeating Shot only gives me a +7 and +4 respectively. Is it bugged or is Repeating Shot not supposed to give +1s?

[uneven lantern]

Did you attune to the Repeating Shot one?

Repeating Shot
Item: A simple or martial weapon with the ammunition property (requires attunement)

[hollow ginkgo]

Hey how do my players get to see maps in my campaigns?

[summer heath]

Hello I need some help, something on the site is not remembering my subscription and I haven't changed anything.
I've been a master level subscriber for a long time and just today it is now saying i'm no longer subscribed

[final trellis]

@summer heath - can you let me know your username, I can take a quick look?

[summer heath]

just a second I realized it could be due to adding 2FA to my paypal method

my username is NotRobMay

[final trellis]

Subscription says it is active for that account

[summer heath]

yeah it's still not working. all my characters are locked

[green comet]

How do I check the start time?

[final trellis]

Ahhh, the sub has literally just renewed within the last 10 minutes - payment is probably still processing.

[summer heath]

okay so it was the 2FA issue?

i needed to update the paypal login for security or something?

[final trellis]

No idea - give it time?

[summer heath]

i can access stuff through campaigns, but not through characters

[green comet]

*How do I check the time to join?

[final trellis]

Considering your screenshot says unlimited characters allowed- have you tried unlocking the characters?

[summer heath]

and then it kicks me out to My Characters page where i'm locked out.

is it now default to lock all my characters?

[final trellis]

I think you've jsut caught the system literally right as the subscription is renewing

[summer heath]

i see. okay well i'll go through and unlock everything now, but gosh this is tedious... -_-

[final trellis]

for a minute or two whilst things are processing, there may be a moment where the sub ends whislt the renewal is processing. As I said everything is showing as active from what I can see

[summer heath]

Joel, thanks for taking a look at my account at the very least.

It looks like things are catching up rapidly.

[final trellis]

Im not quite sure what you are referring to? What time? If this is for a game, you need to speak to the DM. This channel is for getting assistance with D&D Beyond itself

[summer heath]

i had a major panic moment cause i have a live game in 30 min i'm running on my stream

[green comet]

Ok

[final trellis]

No worries - can understand the panic. If you do see anything weird later on, can always shoot me a message (im heading to bed soon, but can always take a look in the morning my time).

[summer heath]

hopefully it stays stable

[green comet]

How would I a try a campaign

?

[edgy oriole]

Like join a D&D game? Check the #looking-for-players channel and direct message someone posting there to see if you can join their game.
If you mean how to associate a character with a DnDBeyond campaign, the DDB campaign page has a URL that the DM can share with players and when going to that link you can associate a specific character with that campaign.

only thing I havent done is a restart yet

[uneven lantern]

That’s very strange.

It’s working on my end…

[tawny kelp]

idk it just decided to work

[uneven lantern]

If it’s happening in multiple browsers, then security software on your device is the likely cause.

[arctic briar]

Is there a way to import an adventure bought through ddb into a campaign, I have a Master subscription.

[uneven lantern]

There’s nothing like infusions, no. DDB doesn’t generally track temporary effects like that yet.

Creating homebrew magic items for it is a common workaround, though (for private use only; please don’t publish it).

[uneven lantern]

Campaigns are primarily for tracking character sheets. Can you explain a little more about what you’re trying to do, though?

[arctic briar]

I have the Tyranny of Dragons set which I will running soon and I wanted a mechanism to be able to share maps from the adventure book (digital) in my campaign

[uneven lantern]

You can put the image or a link to it in the campaign notes.

[pure sable]

I'm trying to make a homebrew spell in DDB, but i don't know how to make it impose a saving throw, as im gonna use it in Avrae. How do i do that?

[warm dove]

Hi all I'm running my first game this week so I printed all my players character sheets but we have no idea how to read the spell sheets it has alot more spells than were selected with bubbles next to each spell

[stray siren]

The bubbles are for preparation

I’m assuming this is your first time playing dnd r?

I’d suggest your players handle more martial classes in that case, spell casting is not too beginner friendly and I’m assuming you arnt too familiar w it

As for more spells, I’m not too sure

[warm dove]

I've been playing for a while but I usually use straight from the app that makes since it was a cleric sheet I was looking at. No I get why there was a bunch of spells listed

[topaz mirage]

I tried make a homebrew version of the Alert feat based on the version in the OneDnD document and "adding Proficiency Bonus to Initiative" didn't work. Here's how I did it:

Is there a reason why that doesn't work? Is there a different way to do it?

[uneven lantern]

If you added that after assigning the feat to a character, it might just be a caching issue. Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet.

Otherwise, it’s possible that one just doesn’t work in a feat. If that’s the case, you could probably do Type: Bonus, Subtype: Initiative, Fixed Value: 2.

Then save it, edit again, and scroll to the bottom to find the Level Overrides section. You can use that to match when the PB would change.

[hexed pagoda]

how do I edit my skills/saving throws on d&d beyond?

On Chrome it works.

[hexed pagoda]

@velvet rover using Chrome might serve you better with D&DBeyond, however, I have never tried it with Firefox, there might be an issue between firefox and D&DBeyond

[uneven lantern]

You might have a browser extension there that’s causing an issue. I’d suggest disabling them all for the moment.

Or you might have pop-ups blocked, or something blocking it as a social media tracker.

[hexed pagoda]

where do I put the diety info for my paladin on the character sheet on dndbeyond?

[dawn egret]

in the Description section, there's text boxes to fill in that stuff

[velvet rover]

Is there a ticket submission process?

[hexed pagoda]

@dawn egret , would I put Tyr under the "Faith" section?

[dawn egret]

yes.

[hexed pagoda]

ok, thanks.

@Neut, is that on page 2 of the sheet if it were printed out?

[dawn egret]

shrug I don't print them often, so not sure. probably.

[hexed pagoda]

ok

[rigid pelican]

Can anyone help me pls, I just multi classed into fighter at level 13 and the Player's handbook states that you don't lose the proficiency bonus when you multi class but on dnd beyond its not giving me it?

[solid kestrel]

You don't gain the saving throw proficiencies of a multiclass

[rigid pelican]

It's proficiency bonus not saving throws proficiencies

It's not giving me the +1 to proficiency bonus

[real path]

whats your total character level, 13?

your proficiency bonus should be +5 on your sheet then

[rigid pelican]

Yeah it should be but because I multiclassed it's still saying +4

[solid kestrel]

so, what are your levels?

[rigid pelican]

12 Ranger, 1 Fighter

[prisma mulch]

what is up with the boomerang? its only listed in ddb, and i cant seem to find it anywhere in any book. it has no cost, no weight, and on top of all that, it is listed as a ranged weapon, rather than a thrown weapon...

[dawn egret]

Because the only boomerang in the game is the Storm Boomerang from an adventure, and magic items in the DDB system need a base item

it's a DDB-ism. The Boomerang does not exist officially, but rather as a system limitation

[prisma mulch]

thats quite odd lol, but why is it ranged, and not thrown? especially since it clearly states that you throw the storm boomerang

[dawn egret]

because it's not an official item. it only exists to facilitate the Storm Boomerang

[edgy oriole]

Items in DDB data structure need a mundane template item to be based off of.

[dawn egret]

also apparently the Storm Boomerang itself states that it's a ranged weapon, not a thrown weapon

The boomerang is a ranged weapon, and any creature proficient with the javelin is also proficient with this weapon.

[prisma mulch]

huh

huh

[dawn egret]

so... there you go. that's why

[prisma mulch]

so... why isnt the storm boomerang just based on the javelin

[dawn egret]

because WotC decided that it wouldn't be.

[uneven lantern]

Are you using XP, and do you have enough for level 13?

[rigid pelican]

Oh wait that is actually correct, even though I have level 12 in ranger and level 1 in fighter the overall level was 12

Thanks for the help

[topaz mirage]

Where is the level overrides section? is it under Modifiers?

There's also this weird glitch with the homebrew race name on the character sheet - the extra "They " in front of Gol (Orden)

[uneven lantern]

After you save the action, you have to edit it again and scroll to the bottom.

[uneven lantern]

That’s not a glitch. The player must have put “They” as their character’s gender.

[topaz mirage]

oh! so my very first reaction to that was right I just didn't find/see the gender section on the character sheet when I went looking for it

[topaz mirage]

hmmm. It's not an action but a modifier/bonus to initiative. Do I need to make an action for a level override? Because I saved it and reopened it and there's no level override

[uneven lantern]

Yep. It’s on the Description tab, under Characteristics.

[uneven lantern]

And no, you’re right. Sorry!

That might not be doable at all, then, unless you just manually update the feat when the PB changes.

[topaz mirage]

Since in the rules Bards adds half their proficiency bonus to initiative with Jack of All Trades and Fighters (Champion) adds half their proficiency bonus to initiative with Remarkable Athlete Proficiency -> Initiative should be doable in the system. Can you pass along the feedback that the homebrew backend be updated to allow this capability if/when possible?

[topaz mirage]

For now, I'll just do that

[uneven lantern]

It probably does work for classes/subclasses. Generally speaking, though, the homebrew system is built to facilitate official content. If there’s never been an official feat that used that modifier, it might not have been designed for it.

I can certainly pass along the request, but I suspect additions purely for the sake of homebrew are unlikely to get prioritized.

[ornate summit]

What’s the max amount of people that can be in a campaign on ddb?

[peak igloo]

12 players each with 99 characters is what one campaign can support

[ornate summit]

Alright, thank you

[dull mirage]

Is there anyway to get a AUTOMATIC DM? another bot or already a function you all have?? 💔

[edgy oriole]

D&D is built around a group of people playing together. There have been attempts at AI DMs but the results have been poor so far.

[dull mirage]

Thank you for your time

@obsidian shore Can you describe how limited?? And list a link 💔 im new to d&d and definitely willing to try

[edgy oriole]

A web search should pull it up - I just know they had some issues with some story paths going to some pretty bad places.
Also it's not really D&D but rather more of a single-to-multiplayer text adventure.

[uneven lantern]

To clarify, though: this channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond specifically, which has no such AI feature.

[still musk]

ok so for homebrew subclass stuff how can I make something be used equal to half the characters proficiency bonus rounded down because i can only figure out of to used straight pb instead of half

[uneven lantern]

Set the Fixed Value to 0.5, check Use Proficiency Bonus, and set it to Multiply instead if Add.

Greetings everybody! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I have two questions which are as follows:

1. Is there a way for an Aberrant Mind Sorcerer to change their psionic spells on the character builder?
2. Is there a way for a Kensei Monk to add a firearm as a Kensei Weapon on the character builder?
   Thanks in advance!

[uneven lantern]

Aberrant Mind - Psionic Spells. We don't currently have a method to allow swapping these spells out. We are looking at solutions for this.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/87774-tashas-cauldron-of-everything-issues-and-support

For now, you can change those spells by making a homebrew copy of that subclass and changing it there.

I'm not sure about Kensei, though. 🤔

[long briar]

Haven’t thought of this. Thank you!

[lunar badger]

I assume this is the same issue as for Divine Soul Sorcerer -- that DDB's underlayer doesn't have a way to handle "fixed on the level you take the class, then you can change it every level as long as you follow the restriction."

Is there a way to code it up as "not at all fixed, pick it on every level as long as it's within your allowed spell list?" Or are the restrictions not handled for either subclass?

[clever coral]

Legally, would there be an issue with making an audio book of the Player's Handbook as an accessibility project? Would that count as piracy for contributing the full rules as-written but in audio?

[modest pelican]

If you were doing it from content on D&D Beyond, that would be a violation of terms of use as an unauthorised reproduction and distribution. I believe the physical books include a similar such clause, but that would be a question for Wizards of the Coast's legal department

[tulip crystal]

Hey i wanted to be a artificer but i dont see the option too in the creator?

[crystal scarab]

Do you own, or have either of the following shared with you? Eberron: Rising from the Last War or Tasha's Cauldron of Everything?

[tulip crystal]

no?

[crystal scarab]

It's not a core class so you can only build an Artificer with the content purchases

[tulip crystal]

do i have to buy both?

[lapis geyser]

if you purchase a single subclass. it unlocks the class for you

[crystal scarab]

You can buy the subclass by itself

[tulip crystal]

how do i do so i dont see a classes option in the store

[crystal scarab]

If you go to either Tasha's Cauldron of Everything or Eberron: Rising from the Last War's purchase page, if you scroll down you can see the subclasses you can purchase

[tulip crystal]

okay thank you!

[tulip crystal]

am i just blind or is there not classes for sale?

[crystal scarab]

Huh, guess it's not in the individual purchase for Eberron. There are Artificer subclasses for individual purchase in Tasha's though.

[tulip crystal]

oh alr sorry to bother you again im dumb

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the individual purchases are only through Tasha’s.

hey i'm making an item under homebrew and it has the same stats as such as a light crossbow but i wanna change its dex mod to INT anyone know how to do this?

[torpid basalt]

is there a reason why my warlock's spells are only showing up at fifth level?

[uneven lantern]

The Warlock table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your warlock spells of 1st through 5th level. The table also shows what the level of those slots is; all of your spell slots are the same level.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/warlock#PactMagic-387

ahh

[strong adder]

On the Character sheet (PC Version) where are the Artificer's Known Infusions listed? I can see the full list, but cannot find where the six I selected are noted. Looked under Class Features (shows how many infusions I can have active) and Actions: Other and Limited Use (both just show the same thing). I am stumped.

[uneven lantern]

Check the bottom of your Inventory tab.

Yup - there it is - thanks

Still need help lol

I’m not sure if there is a way to do that.

But if you can find an official item that works similarly, you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how they set it up.

[lapis geyser]

I THINK you can do it from the customize menu on the attack?

[uneven lantern]

You could use that to manually add a bonus so it matches your INT.

But it wouldn't actually use your INT that way.

[plush sigil]

How do I implement this feature for my ranger Homebrew subclass?

When you do, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d10 + your ranger level

For now, I made it as General action with reaction as its activation and 1d10 dice. Don't know how to add the ranger level modifier and the ability to restore damaged HP.

[uneven lantern]

For the level, you’d have to start with a Fixed Vale of 1. Then save the action, edit it again, and scroll down to find the Level Overrides section. You’ll have to add a new entry for every level where the Fixed Value changes (in your case: every level).

There isn’t currently a way to have a dice roll automatically heal you, though.

[grand idol]

Hi, team. In my game, I gave a magic item that gives our Sorcerer an extra Sorcery Point.

Is there any way we could reflect that on the D&D Beyond sheet? Right now we just kind of shoved it in the notes, but it'd be nice if I could actually just increase the amount displayed to try to avoid missing it.

[ebon minnow]

You could add a charge to indicate that sorcery point

[clever coral]

Is the Hadozee getting a rework on their art?

[uneven lantern]

Everything they’ve said about the hadozee is here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1334-statement-on-the-hadozee

[formal pagoda]

So I have an idea for a campaign, that sort of involves the players being transported out of the game and into real life

[modest pelican]

you want #dm-discussion

[plush sigil]

Level Override worked. What if we replicate how interception fighting style work?

[formal pagoda]

There is no #dm-discussion

[modest pelican]

?changes

[loud sedge]

We've made some changes!

Don't worry, your favorite channels aren't gone! We have changed our server somewhat, and there are some channels that are now only available to certain roles. Head over to #880965682462875679 to grab yours!

[maiden swift]

I'm a little confused as to how Pact Weapons are supposed to work, at least on beyond. Are you supposed to just add the most basic version of that weapon and tag it as a pact weapon? If you dismiss it and create another of a different type do you delete that item and add the basic version of the new form? (For example, if I wanted to change it from an axe to a rapier.)

[uneven lantern]

Yes

Or just leave them, if you use them often.

You could also change the name and remove the weight for clarification, if you choose.

[maiden swift]

Alrighty, thank you!

[mellow monolith]

could someone help me with why this feat i created isn’t applying my PB to my initiative? 🤔 did i add this modifier wrong? 🧐

[old cedar]

Make the fixed value 0

[modest pelican]

@edgy pasture Does your account say you're subscribed?

[edgy pasture]

Yes it is

[old cedar]

Change the modifier to bonus-initiative

[modest pelican]

So you've not received the email but your account is saying you're subscribed, but you're not getting the benefits?

[old cedar]

Make sure the bonus is additive, so you add PB + 0

[edgy pasture]

I am getting the benfits and saying it is subscribed but not getting the secondary email, dose it take longer if I pick the paypal method to pay the fee? If soo is that why it's taking a while?

[modest pelican]

There are many reasons the email could be delayed, or it could have been sent to your spam folder

[old cedar]

@mellow monolith Forgot to mention, add PB in the additional bonus types section

[edgy pasture]

I check the spam folder in gmail and it's not in there,

[modest pelican]

It could also be in updates or promotions, or just be delayed

As long as your account is showing you're subscribed and you're getting the benefits, you'll be able to manage your subscription normally without issue

[edgy pasture]

Well ok, but what happen if paypal dose not send me the email of showing me the buy subscription I got???

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure I follow? If you don't get the email, all that happens is that you won't have the email. You'll still have access to the subscription features on the site as your account is showing you're subscribed and are getting the features of said subscription

[edgy pasture]

Yes I do have the benefit and the frist email saying I do have the subscription, it's just been a while of not getting the second email showing my receipt of proof of purchase and by paypal

[modest pelican]

That would be an issue with paypal I believe, rather than D&D Beyond

[edgy pasture]

So I should call PayPal?

[modest pelican]

I can't really advise on what you should do with non-D&D Beyond services. If in doubt, you could always double check by entering a customer support ticket with D&D Beyond here: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
And if they believe contacting PayPal is warranted, they'll let you know

[edgy pasture]

ok and i will

[mellow monolith]

thank you so much! this worked once i changed it to Bonus - Initiative, but only when i set it to Additional Bonus Types = PB, and got rid of the 0 in Fixed Value. i think the 0 fixed value was overriding the PB, bc it didn’t work until i made that blank again.

[edgy pasture]

How long dos it take for them to respond i did got a ticket email from them and they did ask me to reply it but no respond from then from 4;41 pm, Should i wait till tomorrow to resend the rply email to them?

[modest pelican]

You should wait as tickets are processed in the order they are received during US working hours

[mellow monolith]

does anyone know of a way to increase a monk’s martial arts die using a feat or item or anything? just bump it up from a d4 to a d6 or d6 to a d8, etc?

i’ve found an option to increase unarmed strikes, but not just all martial arts die in general.

[edgy pasture]

Ok, I guess around this time there close up for the night. Hope to get a response tmorrow or next monday this is just stressing me out x.x

[timber dock]

how would i add this spell i did the basic infor and aditional info all i need is the modifiers

[torpid jewel]

I can't get aura of vitality to show up on a life cleric's spells list. What am i doing wrong?

[uneven lantern]

Do you own Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything? Or is that character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared?

?tcoe

[loud sedge]

D&D Beyond

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything (TCoE) is an official sourcebook containing options for players and DMs. Learn more: https://dndbeyond.link/discordTCOE

[tranquil rose]

Is there a way my wizard can add the cantrips I have scrolls of to my spellbook in DDB? Like to scribe extra cantrips?

[solid kestrel]

That's not how cantrips work, so no.

[tranquil rose]

Oh, that is what I initially though but it is just that they have them listed with a cost in Xanthar's Guide....

[solid kestrel]

cantrip scrolls do exist to cast, but you only copy down spells of 1st level and higher

your cantrips are just known

[tranquil rose]

Ah

Hmmmm

Alright thanks

[uneven lantern]

Copying a Spell into the Book. When you find a wizard spell of 1st level or higher, you can add it to your spellbook if it is of a spell level you can prepare and if you can spare the time to decipher and copy it.

To add cantrips outside of the normal class rules, you’d need to use the homebrew system.

[tranquil rose]

Yeah that wouldn't work. This is an AL character:/

Now I am trying to determine if I want two additional 1st level spells or one 2nd level spell, but that is a discussion for another channel...

[peak igloo]

Or Tasha's optional class features for wizards xD

[uneven lantern]

That does still restrict you to the same number of cantrips, but yeah, great feature!

[rain forum]

This has been going on for 5 minutes, after doing the "prove you're a human" thing. I already disabled all Chrome extensions. I tried accessing the site in other browsers and they all worked.

[modest pelican]

Do you have any other D&D Beyond tabs open?

[rain forum]

None in this browser. I already closed the browser and restarted my laptop but the verification still hangs until now

Weird, I deleted the cookies generated by ddb and logged in again using twitch, and it now works. lol

[modest pelican]

Can you try clearing your cache/cookies for DDB? You may have a bad cookie/cached data that is triggering a false positive

[rain forum]

Yeah, just did that. Thanks Davyd!

[silent ridge]

Is there a way to edit a players character sheets in a campaign? For reference Im trying to find a way to turn players in to a particular type of vampire that boosts certain stats good and bad

[modest pelican]

The DM and owning player can edit certain aspects of a sheet. Anything beyond those aspects must be modified using homebrew options

[silent ridge]

okay thanks

[remote sinew]

i've been trying to get onto dndbeyond on firefox and it's coming up with this nvm kept refreshing and it finally let me in

[lime void]

Hey guys, now that Wizards of the Coast owns D&D Beyond, will there be any Black Friday sales this year?

<@&516370028053004306>

[modest pelican]

There is no need to tag every single moderator for such a query, we actively monitor these channels
As for sales, they will be announced on various social media platforms. You don't need to ask here. This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services

[lime void]

I thought it was wise to do so

[modest pelican]

Sales have always been announced through our social media channels and as a banner on the site

And the moderator role should only be pinged in serious emergencies

[past slate]

Is there a way to purchase things on the store without having to use dollars? (I'm in the UK)

[modest pelican]

All purchases will be processed in your local currency, with any relevant taxes and charges applied, either at check out or by your bank

However D&D Beyond only offers prices in USD

This doesn't stop you from making purchases if you're not in a country that uses USD

[past slate]

Oh because I wouldn't know any of said charges/ taxes since I'm not at the age to know these things

[modest pelican]

The tax for the UK is VAT at 20%. You would need to ask your bank about any conversion or processing fees they may apply for USD purchases

[past slate]

I'm using my parents money after I asked if I could use some

So I can't talk to the bank about this

[modest pelican]

I would suggest talking your parents then, we can't advise on spending or finance matters

[past slate]

Ah ok I'll go do that then

Also thank you

[proper valley]

is there some sort of api for dnd beyond for adding/removing things to a characters inventory?

[modest pelican]

There is no public facing API

[past slate]

When I go to add a feat the only feat I'm given is grappler, I have the perquisites for the feats but they don't show

[modest pelican]

Do you own the feats? Either individually or via purchasing a whole book? If you don't own them, are they being shared with you via content sharing?

[past slate]

They are being shared with me

[modest pelican]

Are you making the character in the campaign they are being shared through?

[past slate]

I'll check give me a moment

My character is in a campaign with the person sharing

[modest pelican]

Have you been able to access shared content previously?

[past slate]

Yes the content that's been shared is accessible

I think I got it too work

[tough trout]

Where can you see pull/lift weight on the DnDBeyond app?

[lapis geyser]

As far as I can tell, you can't see it on the app. You'd have to check the actual website.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, on the website, you can go to Inventory and click Weight Carried to get the numbers.

But that hasn’t been added to the app yet.

[frosty tree]

Why does the DND beyond ALWAYS want me@to use apple. It’s annoying why is there no credit card option.

[pastel cypress]

Hey, I think I know the answer already, but if I have real copies of source books and adventure books, can I somehow tell dnd beyond that so I can just use the content? or do I actually have to pay another 30 for each book I need

[lapis geyser]

There is no way to activate them on the site, though they are testing the feature with an upcoming release. you can however either purchase just the individual things you need, or recreate most thing using the homebrew

[pastel cypress]

I see, thanks for the help!

[uneven lantern]

Are you using the app? There’s definitely a credit card option on the site itself.

[scarlet marten]

Hi, I'm trying to make a custom race, and my ability score increase, while it shows on the race itself, I can't seem to put the ability scores in on the character sheet

I think I got it thanks!

[cinder sandal]

I was trying to make a Ranger using the optional rules from TCoE that replace the favored enemy and terrain but those options won’t show up in character creator. Any help?

[halcyon plover]

need to own tasha's and turn the toggle on to allow it then turn on the options you want to you on the class tap of the char builder

[cinder sandal]

I have Tasha’s on DDB and all the toggles on. Deft explorer and Favored Foe still don’t show up

It is also not listed on the app’s listings in the class section

[cloud radish]

I recently bought a player's handbook from a convention and would like to know if I could get the purchase on my D&D beyond account. Please let me know if this is possible if so, how would I go through with that?

[cinder sandal]

To my knowledge, no physical purchases are backed up digitally unless specifically given a link, like the essentials kit

[modest pelican]

@cinder sandal you need to enable optional class features in the character builder, then enable the individual options from the dedicated tab

@cloud radish there is no way to redeem books against digital copies

[cloud radish]

Super cringe

[cinder sandal]

Oh my goodness thank you

[uneven lantern]

You can use your physical book and recreate that content using DDB’s homebrew system for free.

Or you can buy just the parts you need, like a single subclass. Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

[midnight horizon]

I'm having account issues, I just logged in how I normally do and now my account seems to be reset and is missing all purchased content, characters, campaigns, etc.

[uneven lantern]

Are you sure you signed into the same account?

[midnight horizon]

It is a different account, it forced me to make a new account. I cannot sign into the other account since it was through the twitch log-in that forced me to make a new one

I signed in the way I normally do

So I have no way to sign into the other account

It took my twitch log-in credentials as the account information

Its resolved, I did nothing different I have no idea what happened

[hard delta]

The warlock genie isn't showing the wish option for ninth level

Is homebrew content toggled on in the character sheet preferences?

sorry I should have caught that one

[final trellis]

no worrie,s easy mistake to make 🙂

[slate cedar]

Hello! If I create a homebrew expanded spell list with spells from sources other than the Basic Rules and players in one of my campaigns don't have access to other books, will the spells appear in their character sheet because I do have access to those books and I'm the creator? Or do I need Content Sharing active?

[hexed pagoda]

remind me, how many spells do I get at level 1? It has been a long time since I have played D&D

[solid kestrel]

depends on the class. It'll tell you in their spellcasting feature, or the warlocks pact magic feature.

[hexed pagoda]

I should have mentioned I am playing a Paladin

[dawn egret]

well, this is a #dnd-rules question, since this channel is for help with the site. and two, your class page tells you. Charisma mod + Paladin level.

[uneven lantern]

They would need access to the spell itself, either through Content Sharing or by purchasing it.

[radiant raptor]

Hello from Swizerland. I wanted to ask if there is any way to add the books that i have bought irl to the dnd beyond app or do i have to buy them online again ?

[modest pelican]

The only way you can add the books to D&D Beyond is via the homebrew creation tools; you can copy the content into D&D Beyond for personal use

[radiant raptor]

Thank you

[rugged edge]

hi! so i found a homebrew race on dnd wiki and im trying to convert it into a dnd beyond homebrew race (i got permission from both my dm and the owner of the homebrew content) but im having trouble figuring out what goes where. im new to dndbeyond and dnd in general and its pretty confusing

in short, are these the racial traits?

or this

if im allowed to post the link then here it is (for the race)

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Kitsune_(5e_Race)#:~:text=Kitsune are a race of,of the most powerful kitsune.

[uneven lantern]

This one — Ability Score Increase, Age, Alignment, etc.

[sinful zealot]

dnd beyond says see area 11 where is that

[clever coral]

The Hydra just had an astounding amount of changes, it seems, with it originally being gargantuan and a much higher CR. Unless I was mistaken about this.

Wait, I just found out I had the Hydra and Kraken mixed up. Super lol.

[pulsar elm]

Hello, I purchased Stormkings Thunder from D&DB and we are using Roll20 in combination. Is there a way I can import that campaign into the Roll20 app from D&DB? Or would I have to purchase it again?

[naive lodge]

D&D Beyond does not have any third party support.

[fair moon]

Is their a reason I can’t add the strip haven feat spells onto my sheet?

After picking one of the schools as my background

[pulsar elm]

Alright, are there any guides to allow me to utilize the campaign resources provided from D&DB with roll20?

[vast lintel]

so, i have a character created in a campaign using some of the shared content which i dont have purchased. if i were to unassign this character and re-use them in another campaign on ddb, will that cause problems with leveling up or anything?

[dawn egret]

no

[vast lintel]

will there be any differences at all or would it be entirely unaffected?

[solid kestrel]

MTG content toggled on?

[dawn egret]

unaffected

[vast lintel]

alright, thank you

[earnest yarrow]

is there any way to let abberant sorcs change their psionic spells?

[modest pelican]

Not without a work around at the moment

The main workaround is to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and edit the spells

[uneven lantern]

Did you add the feat itself? You’ll need to go on the character sheet to Features & Traits > Manage Feats, then add the feat and select your spells.

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking in #dm-discussion or #dnd-discussion to see if there’s any community guides for it.

I've not been able to download anything I bought for a while now and I'm getting tired of not being able to access my content (all the races options from MotM are also locked behind this bug)

[olive cobalt]

Is Blind Fighting Fighting Style supposed to stack with other blindsight features such as Dagger of Blindsight? My character has Blind Fighting Fighting Style and a Dagger of Blindsight and under senses on the DnDBeyond character sheet it's showing "Blindsight 40 feet".

Dagger of Blindsight
A creature attuned to it (this dagger) gains blindsight out to a range of 30 feet.

Blind Fighting
You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet.

Some other items like Goggles of Night specify that they increases sense distance, but neither Blind Fighting nor Dagger of Blindsight mention increasing the blindsight distance if you already have blindsight.

Goggles of Night
While wearing these dark lenses, you have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, wearing the goggles increases its range by 60 feet.

[cosmic pebble]

not as-written

the dagger of blindsight was created before there was an accessable way to get blindsight ona PC, but goggles of night have always had the idea of interaction with darkvision

[indigo wagon]

Hello, I just wanted to ask if it is legal if i publish homebrew feats by a third party book, If i mention that it is "by publisher X from book X" and they agreed that i could create those feats? with this i dont market it as my own. would it still get taken down?

[lapis geyser]

No, you can't publish anything that isn't your own creation, even if you have permission

[indigo wagon]

alrighty, thx for the answer

[fair moon]

I ended up figuring it out had to jump through a lot of manual add-on

For download issues within the app, these are generally connection issues between your device and the servers. Sometimes swapping from wifi to data (or the opposite) can help a download complete. Occasionally I've seen users report doing a full wipe of the app and a fresh install allows the downloads to complete.

[sweet hatch]

I've tried on multiple networks and using my data and it's always the same problem. I fear if I wipe the app and reinstall it I'll lose even the content I have now already downloaded (I've read of someone that had that happen).

[final trellis]

Alternatively, use the website. There isn't any other troubleshooting steps unfortunately.

[sweet hatch]

I figured it out, I just had to deactivate "save book on external storage" and now it works

(I did reinstall it first tho, but it still didn't work)

[pastel cypress]

just added a player to my campaign and i have a bunch of sourcebooks and the higher tier sub, and its not showing all the extra stuff in her character creation section. Help?

Im attempting to make bonus action and reaction effects for a subclass, but they aren't showing up as actions on the bot we use here

[dawn star]

Hi i need some help with a recent subscription, Im looking to get it refunded, ive just had a group i was with turn out to be a text based RP instead of a voice call (like i had believed, they had stated nowhere it was text based) and wated to get a refund, i havnt used any offical features yet
or atleast lower my subscription and get some money back

[modest pelican]

As stated on all purchases, Digital items are not returnable or refundable. You can still contact customer service here: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new but considering your reason for wanting a refund, I wouldn't say the chances are high

[dawn star]

its just shitty having not been told it was a Text only campaign AFTER having purchased this for the group

[hybrid timber]

I have a STR of 14 and DEX of 20. As a LV8 arcane trickster rogue I have booming blade and a +1 shortsword. When I check ATK bonus for booming blade it adds the STR instead of DEX.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/85024997

[modest pelican]

@plush surge Please don't post screenshots of non-free content in its entirety. If you need help with using the homebrew tools to add lycanthropy to your character, your best bet is to ask in #homebrew

@hybrid timber Lemme have a look

[hybrid timber]

Of course go ahead.

[solid kestrel]

Your shortsword is 5+3+1, so +9, that tracks.

[modest pelican]

I see what the issue is; the Booming Blade attack action isn't pulling your Str mod, it's pulling your Int mod because it's a spell and Int is your spellcasting ability

[hybrid timber]

Yes but to booming blade I have +6 to attack.

[modest pelican]

that's also why it's not adding the +1 from the sword

Your best bet is to ignore the to hit option on booming blade and just use the shortsword +1 to hit bonus when using the spell

This is a system limitation; spells with a to hit always pull from your spellcasting modifier

[dawn egret]

...how have I never noticed this issue before? O.o

[modest pelican]

Your other option is to hide Booming Blade from attacks and make a custom action that uses Dexterity

[hybrid timber]

Oh ok. Good to know. I can just override to hit bonus too. I was just confused about it like is there a rule I do not know about.

[solid kestrel]

Was this added? I swear I've never seen either blade cantrip have a 'to-hit'

it was just a damage roll

[modest pelican]

Either it was added or you never noticed
Either way, it's there currently

[solid kestrel]

version
Ah, homebrew!

[modest pelican]

Oooh, good spot Aud

[hybrid timber]

Thank you everyone for their help. ❤️

[solid kestrel]

And the formatting, like not bold

[modest pelican]

Yep, that'd be it; that's a homebrew copy of the spell that's set up differently

[solid kestrel]

It just seems like a slightly erroneous recreation in the homebrew tools, yeah

The actual cantrip does not display a 'to hit' roll, only damage

Either way, just the damage roll itself works fine. Besides, you're still attacking with the sword in the first plaace.

[plush surge]

Sorry, but this not homebrew, it existing in the monster manual, i just asked how i add it in the character builder in the website, do if i would buy the monster manual it will appear?

[modest pelican]

There is no way to add lycanthropy to a character without using homebrew tools at this time

[plush surge]

Really? So what is is it in p. 206 in the monster manual?

[modest pelican]

I'm not saying the rule doesn't exist/isn't official, just that D&D Beyond doesn't support it at this time

And in order to work around that, you have to use the homebrew tools

[plush surge]

Ho, gott it, tnx

[split stone]

so i'm making a spellcasting Barbarian subclass, and i'm adding the Wizard spell list since that's the most expansive, but it isn't showing up in the spells bit

[modest pelican]

That's because there is no spellcasting barbarian subclass that already exists, so there's nothing for the system to pull that information from so you can't do it

[split stone]

hold on

[modest pelican]

You will have to instead add the abilities purely as descriptive/instructive text

[split stone]

trying to take screenshot of what i did, but i'm on Windows 7 so taking a screenshot is a nightmare. stand by i'm figuring it out

[modest pelican]

What are you trying to take a screenshot of and why?

[split stone]

that little spells section under description

[modest pelican]

As stated; the only classes that can have spellcasting added to them are ones that already have spellcasting added by official subclasses (rogue and fighter). Because barbarian doesn't have an official spellcasting subclass, you can't make it support spellcasting (spell slots etc)

[split stone]

feels like an oversight

[modest pelican]

No, it's not. The homebrew tools only support what already exists officially. If you can do it officially, you can do it with the homebrew tools (for the most part)

[split stone]

wait. it works now
wat

i don't know what i did, i don't know how it works, but it works, and now i'm afraid to touch it
just like regular coding

[edgy oriole]

server caching - a wonderful and terrible thing

[split stone]

ok it's working now but it's only going to 1st level spells. this is problematic considering the character i'm making this entire subclass for (it's a critical role percy situation) is level 6

[modest pelican]

Can you post a link to the character you're applying this homebrew to and the homebrew itself?

[split stone]

well it's not published yet since it's still very W.I.P but sure

[modest pelican]

It doesn't need to be

[split stone]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/1463216-path-of-rage-magic/subclass/1463216/edit
would this work?

[modest pelican]

yeah, can I also get the character link?

[split stone]

not sure if viewing W.I.P things also applies to characters

[modest pelican]

It does

[split stone]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/85028626/builder/equipment/manage

(don't mind the beserker features, it's the subclass i used as a template

[modest pelican]

If I had to guess, you've not set up the level scaling correctly on the feature. However I haven't got time right now to do a deep dive as this is a little more complex than I anticipated

[merry prism]

For spellcasting on a Barbarian subclass - Davyd is right - this isn't really possible.
The problem is that every class that has some form of spellcasting available to it, has a spell progression table, showing what spell slots it gets at each level.
As there is no such rules info for the Barbarian, it seems the system just stares at it and goes, "well, have 3 first level spell slots as a guess" but has no clue how to increase that with levels.

[split stone]

heres to hoping Wizards does something like this because Barbarians need something fun

[modest pelican]

I'd argue barbarians have a lot of fun things, spellcasting just isn't one of them

But that's a discussion for a different channel

[split stone]

if i did add level scaling to the spellcasting feature, would that increase the level spells you could get? or is that usually for attacks?

[tawny summit]

Do I select all of these options? Or pick from a crowbar, clothes or 15 gp

[modest pelican]

That would be a question for another channel, probably #dnd-rules

[tawny summit]

Thanks

[tough trout]

Is it not possible to add multiple actions to a custom feat?

[uneven lantern]

Yes, you can

[tough trout]

I see the actions I have added when I edit the feat. But when a character adds the feat only the first action is visible

[uneven lantern]

Did you edit the second action in after the feat had been assigned to that character?

Sometimes homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes before they appear on the sheet.

[tough trout]

Had no idea. Yes it seems to work now. Thanks for the heads up! 🙌

If a player has content sharing but a DM doesn’t. Can the dm still make a campaign link and still get the shared content to their other players by having that player join?

Or would the player with the content sharing have to make the campaign link

[modest pelican]

Only the DM can access the campaign link, but that doesn't have any bearing on content sharing

All you need to do to access shared content is be in a campaign where anyone has activated content sharing

[gleaming gulch]

So the DM makes the link, hits that little button that says share content, and then all of that players stuff gets shared to the rest of the group?

I’m just wondering because I’m the guy trying to share content with my group, but I’m not the dm

[modest pelican]

The link is generated when the DM creates the campaign, and the DM can reset it if they wish
This has no effect on content sharing

Only the DM can invite people (by sharing the link) but anyone can enable content sharing

[serene zephyr]

Looking for someone who is willing to help me finish a home brew magic item? I have most of it done but am not 100% sure how to edit it so my players can click on some of the spells or attack/damage rolls from their actions lists when they equip it. Thanks a lot in advance!

[modest pelican]

Anyone with a Master Tier subscription can activate Content Sharing for any campaign they're in, regardless of their role in that campaign. Then once it's enabled, everyone's purchased game content get shared -- not just the DM or the subscriber.

[gleaming gulch]

Gotcha

[worn nexus]

what Skills/Special Trait would make a deadly Archer, because the party that is playing my campaign is mostly melee focused

[modest pelican]

You want #character-discussion, this channel is for getting support with using D&D Beyond

[worn nexus]

oops thanks

[final fiber]

Hope this are the correct place to ask.

How does you see optional class features on the mobile app?

[modest pelican]

you have to view them through Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

[final fiber]

Ah so no elegant solution 😦

[rugged edge]

can i ask someone to turn this into a homebrew race for me? i tried but failed miserably

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Kitsune_(5e_Race)

[naive lodge]

We have #homebrew for that.

[rugged edge]

i see

i dont have access to it

[naive lodge]

Check out #880965682462875679 to get access.

[rugged edge]

ok

[green cape]

Might be the wrong place and perhaps been asked before. I did attempt to look first. If I buy a source book through the ddb mobile app, does it unlock the ddb assets (like races, classes, etc) as well or is it just the book to read?

[edgy oriole]

There are two kinds of books -

1. The full book purchase which unlocks all the races/classes/spells/items in the book along with the regular book text.
2. Compendiums which is just the book text.

[nimble mist]

hi,
apologies if wrong area to ask. Looking at making a homebrew cleric domain, and as part of that have pulled in a homebrew spell. But, the spell just isn't showing up in any of the areas I would expect it to to do this (neither the Additional Specific Spells section nor via the Spells section if I go into the Domain Spells feature added.)
If I open the character sheet proper, it does show in the options of spells to prepare, so it IS pulling through, just can't get at it on the subclass...Am I missing something obvious here?

[mental pumice]

Is there a way to roll back a character to a previous version? One of my player's inv got wiped and we don't remember what he had

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[minor belfry]

I'm unable to prepare first level cleric spells via the manage spell menu on my character sheet. They show up as spells I have to learn, it seems to only be 1st level though. I'm able to prepare them as expected when I go into managing my character. The character is Cleric 8 (Grave) Sorcerer (Divine Soul) 1. It seems to be the addition of sorcerer is the problem, when its removed from the character the 1st level spells can be prepared

This is what I'm seeing when I try to manage the spells

[uneven lantern]

Your character can prepare 12 Cleric spells. You already have 12 Cleric spells prepared.

[minor belfry]

Its not that. I can't prepare spells of 1st level when I have the sorcerer on the sheet, I've taken it off and it works as expected.

I have first level spells prepared but I can't unprepare them

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[minor belfry]

https://ddb.ac/characters/41261636/Fk0zz7

[uneven lantern]

Bane and False Life are always prepared because of your subclass. They’re from your Domain Spells.

Those look correct.

[minor belfry]

Yep, but I have even created a new character to test the issue and I was able to recreate it reliably

[uneven lantern]

I created a Cleric 8 / Sorcerer 1 just now and can prepare level 1 spells just fine.

[minor belfry]

I have no idea why I can't on mine its the weirdest thing

[uneven lantern]

You’ve definitely exceeded your maximum number of prepared spells.

You prepare the list of cleric spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the cleric spell list. When you do so, choose a number of cleric spells equal to your Wisdom modifier + your cleric level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

[minor belfry]

Uh hmm

[uneven lantern]

Your Wisdom mod is +4, and your Cleric level is 8. That means you can prepare 12 Cleric spells in total.

[minor belfry]

According in Beyond I have 24 spells prepared somehow

I even just unprepared all the spells and its still showing up as learn

[minor belfry]

I think I've narrowed down the issue, it only seems to occur when the sorcerer is set to Divine Soul (which is her sorcerous origin)

[uneven lantern]

Aha! Yep, now I’m getting the same issue on my side.

I’ll pass that along to the devs for review. Thanks!

[minor belfry]

Thank you! I was starting to think I was going crazy 😂

[wet gyro]

Okay... quick question, if you write up a sign up mission thing, it has all the information in the formate however doesn't follow the formate, does that still get me in trouble or not?

[peak igloo]

If you mean in our looking for x channels, All posts in there have to follow the formats as they are provided in their channels.

[wet gyro]

Yeah, I know about that... I was just writing it up somewhere else and I completely forgot their was a formate, but yeah, I'll do my best to switch it over to the formate
Thank you for the answer
(And sorry... first time attempting to post something)

[uneven lantern]

FWIW, those spells seem to work fine on the Class tab of the character editor. You should be able to prepare there in the meantime.

[minor belfry]

Ah brilliant thank you!

[split stone]

is there a way to have this apply to 2nd level spells and beyond (up to 5th). sorry for replying late, i forgot about this and didn't have the motivation to continue on it because it's a mess

and when DnD Beyond was launched in 2017, how did you deal with adding Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster and add spells for them, and how would you deal with it if Wizards does make a Spellcasting Barbarian?

[modest pelican]

Probably not worth pinging a dev as they're likely very busy
No, there isn't a way to have it apply as stated by myself and Stormknight; the only non-spellcaster classes that can support spellcasting are EK and AT
This was accomplished by programming them that way when the site launched
It would be pure speculation as to how it would be done on the very unlikely chance that wizards does a spell-slot using barbarian subclass

[split stone]

welp that sucks. and no, i didn't ping Storm because i've trained myself to turn off that annoying reply ping. would giving the barbarian a magic item that casts spells be a valid workaround?

[modest pelican]

That would be a question for #homebrew

[halcyon plover]

Hey for some reason when I clicked on the pop up about the sun perks it logged me out oh beyond any idea why it did that

[past slate]

This question is about another question I asked previously, when buying digital books on the dnd beyond website I have to use $ and not £, but if I try to buy books on the dnd beyond app I can use £, what's up with that?

[halcyon plover]

It’s not the first time this has happened either

[lone void]

The app uses the mobile store of your device so it is in your local currency

[modest pelican]

Buying on the app is handled through whatever store you use (Google or Apple) and they do the currency conversion for you as their stores are localised
D&D Beyond only lists prices in $ and conversions (and fees) will be handled by your bank

[halcyon plover]

Like somethime trying to go to the profile page instead signs me out

[past slate]

Ah so on the app the conversion is already done for you, good to know thank you

[halcyon plover]

So any answers why the pop up logged me out of beyond

[modest pelican]

@halcyon plover We can't provide technical support on that level here, I'm personally not able to reproduce the issue. Your best bet would be to submit a customer service ticket. Also, moderators generally avoid responding with unhelpful "I'm afraid I don't know how to help", we prefer to minimise channel clutter and leave space for a moderator or staff member who can help to reply

[halcyon plover]

Ok

How do you submit a ticket

[modest pelican]

go here: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[halcyon plover]

Sorry any idea what this falls under not really sure

[modest pelican]

I don't I'm afraid

[past burrow]

Hi, I was just wondering if there was any issues with the play store and subscriptions o.o I changed my subscription from monthly to semi annual 3 days ago, but got an email from the play store that the money was being refunded and when I log into DNDbeyond, I'm at the free tier

And I have a game tonight that I needed it for so I'm very confused @.@

[modest pelican]

I would recommend contacting support https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[past burrow]

Okay, I guess I'll do that to figure out what happened and just resubscribe via the website directly for now

[past burrow]

Another quick question lol how long does it normally take for the subscription to be charged via the website. I got the confirmation email for it, but it says the reciept will be sent separately and my credit card hasnt been charged yet.

I'm paranoid now after the play store thing lol

[modest pelican]

the exact amount of time can vary. Does your account say you're subscribed and are you getting the benefits?

[past burrow]

Yes and lol I just got the charge

Thank you!

[cunning mango]

the site keeps crashing on my phone specifically when i’m trying to create a character. is this a know issue and is there any way for me to fix it on my end?

[river obsidian]

Yoh, is there a general issue logging into D&DBeyond at the time? I am using Google to log in... it did ask verificatin the first time. However after passing it I CAN use other google services.. however D&DBeyond does not care for me looking at anything else but the login screen.

This is on PC, using Windosw 10 enterprise, TinyWall, Avast and Firefox as Browser. (edit because I'm silly)

[warm ferry]

i was hoping to get help with my character since this is the first character i created and i could not read all the instructions because my eyes hurt so here it is

[lone void]

This channel is for getting help with the DDB website, services and tools. You probably want to post on #character-discussion to get advice on your character 😄

[limpid shard]

Pretty sure they need help either making or managing the character

[modest pelican]

Both of which are better suited to the channel Lionn suggested. This channel is for getting support using the D&D Beyond tools, site, and services, not character creation

[limpid shard]

Ok, I thought maybe some of the tools regarding character management would fall under this catagory

[modest pelican]

If someone is having a specific problem with how the tools work, that would be suited to this channel. Otherwise #character-discussion

[split stone]

any reason the encounter builder is taking forever to load? everything else, including other DnD Beyond stuff, is loading fine (well, fine for my internet) so i'm just wondering what's going on

[modest pelican]

Loaded instantly for me

So might be a local issue caused by caching or how your connection handles the way the encounter builder loads

[split stone]

it loaded eventually. and when i tested it now it loaded instantly. probably was just a local issue

[river obsidian]

Yoh, is there a general issue logging into D&DBeyond at the time? I am using Google to log in... it did ask verificatin the first time. However after passing it I CAN use other google services.. however D&DBeyond does not care for me looking at anything else but the login screen.
This is on PC, using Windosw 10 enterprise, TinyWall, Avast and Firefox as Browser.

Thi issue is persistent for me as it appears through reboots of browser as well as system.

[modest pelican]

TinyWall and Avast would be the first thing to disable as they could very well be interfering

[edgy oriole]

What’s TinyWall? Does it do anything to network traffic? Also does Avast touch normal network traffic?

[river obsidian]

Tiny wall is a Firewall with mainly hand wise settings to allow internet traffic. The Browsers executable has free traffic.

and with both switched off still the same.

[edgy oriole]

You might open up the dev tools in Firefox and use the network tab to see what’s passing through or not.

[modest pelican]

Can you also try a different browser and see if the issue persists?

[river obsidian]

As I stated... even with wall and Virus scanner disabled this is consistent.

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to log in, exactly?

[river obsidian]

I continue to see the screen allowing me to select how I want to log in.

opening a second tab will show me the same login page again.

[uneven lantern]

Does that mean you click to sign in and stay on the same page?

[river obsidian]

so basically D&DBeyond refuses to accept my login.

[uneven lantern]

Or it goes to Google and comes back to that page?

Or the page just refreshes?

[river obsidian]

erm.. lemme try once over.

I click on the friendly google button.

A new pop up window comes up and I put in my username (stored in browser), then click 'next' and enter my password.

the pop up closes, the main window doesn't do a thing.

if I open a second tab and go to google maps.. that wors just fine as it should.

[modest pelican]

A few other things to check, if only for extra info on the problem

• do you have third party cookies enabled?
• does the issue persist on a different browser?
• does the issue persist using an incognito/in-private browser session?

[river obsidian]

hmmpf.. private mode seems to work.. so yeah, must be ion client side, thanks.

[raw crane]

is there a way to put DNDB into dark mode?

[modest pelican]

Other than character sheets and the app, D&D Beyond doesn't have a dark mode

[river obsidian]

And.. this is super weird.. now it works in normal mode too ?!?

[raw crane]

ok. thx @modest pelican

[edgy oriole]

Potentially the browser had cached stuff from when the firewall and antivirus was still enabled. My hunch is that most of the issues came from those two things.

[frosty pelican]

I have problem deleting a few encounter tabs. I cant seem to delete a few of them. Does anyone have a fix for it?

[uneven lantern]

Are they unnamed? Try giving them a name first.

[lean crest]

I recommend the dark reader browser extension unless you are asking about the app.

I’m trying to access the spelljammer academy adventure material here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/sja
but all the links are redirecting to an expired offer from before the release of spelljammer. Is there a way to fix this?

[uneven lantern]

Spelljammer Academy was a limited-time offer. If you didn't claim it during the claim window, the only way to access it would be through Content Sharing in a campaign with someone else that claimed it.

[lean crest]

That’s disappointing considering I joined DnD Beyond after spelljammer launched. I wish there was an option to at least buy it.

[uneven lantern]

I can pass that feedback along, at the very least.

[lean crest]

Thanks that would great! I have three kids wanting to play a spelljammer campaign (ages, 7, 10, 14) and it seemed like a great opportunity to get them to level 5 before starting the LIGHT OF XARYXIS adventure.

[warm ferry]

but there is no way to post my character sheet on there

[idle arch]

you can create a sharable link to your character sheet on DDB, and post that link in the character discussion channel

[past burrow]

Hi, I was just wondering if it breaks any dndbeyond rules to use the ddb importer module to import owned rules, monsters, spells, etc. from dndbeyond to foundry vtt for personal play

[loud drift]

Were the hadozee pictures removed because of being potentially racist? I remember seeing that their backgrounds were being rewritten but not anything about pics being offensive.

[edgy oriole]

Yes they were removed as well because they touched upon historic racist elements.

[plush ridge]

Content sharing Question with the master Subscription can you share character options that youve bought piece by piece

[edgy oriole]

I believe any content purchased is shared among everyone on that campaign.

[plush ridge]

it does it just doesnt show when you go into it from the DM side had my players login to DDB and they could see all my stuff

[edgy oriole]

server caching may have bit you then - glad it's working for you now.

[plush ridge]

Appreciate the help from here as always thank you!

[sinful zealot]

i like to have my duplicate enemies go on the same turn in combat (for example say 4 goblins all on the same turn) is there a way to set that up in the encounter tool?

[dawn egret]

add 1 goblin. press the plus sign on the left.

[haughty ridge]

Played can't use beyond properly on chrome. When they open it all the see is a bunch of links that don't work plus a white background.

[uneven lantern]

It works in other browsers?

What about in Incognito mode?

[edgy oriole]

Probably. Also this channel is for technical support not general questions.

[frosty pelican]

they are named.

when I open them, it says Untitled Encounter.

😭

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to change the name?

[frosty pelican]

ah, wait. let me try

this one turned into this when I renamed and saved it

[uneven lantern]

Does it work if you disable AboveVTT, and any other extensions that might alter the site’s normal behavior?

[frosty pelican]

alright. turned off all the extension...

same, it wont get deleted

but I could easily delete the newly created/edited encounter.

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest contacting customer support then. Please include a link to any effected encounters. They should be able to get it resolved for you.
https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[frosty pelican]

Thanks C:

[past burrow]

this might be a dumb suggestion but have you tried closing the browser completely and restarting it? I had the same issue a month or 2 ago and doing that fixed it for me

[frosty pelican]

Yeah I did. Tried restarting pc as well.
Unfortunately, problem still persist.

[fathom idol]

I'm trying to remove a 2nd Faerie Fire from my Druid but everytime I remove it, it just reappears 😭 is there anything I can do to get rid of it as its effecting how many spells I can prepare?

Can you share a link to that character?

[fathom idol]

Sorry, I just saw this message. Here's the link

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/82421448

[uneven lantern]

Very strange. 🤔

[uneven lantern]

I assume you’re trying to remove it through Manage Spells? If you go into the Class tab of the character sheet, does it work from there?

[fathom idol]

Yeah, I've tried through manage spells a few times, I'll try that way now though

[fathom idol]

I tried it and it's stayed there 😭

[uneven lantern]

I wonder if removing and re-adding the class would fix it. (You could try making a copy of the character first and change it there.)

Oh, making a copy of him has sorted it 😁😁 thank you!

heyo

my player can't access my content sharing

can someone help

she can't see all the races or subclasses i have

[edgy oriole]

1. Is someone in the campaign a Master Tier subscriber?
2. Have they enabled content sharing on the specified campaign?
3. Are the people building characters building the characters in the campaign? (characters built outside the campaign won't see/access shared content).
4. Did you wait 15 minutes and refresh? (server caching)
5. Did the player turn on the appropriate toggles (non-core D&D, Magic The Gathering, etc.) to view content from non-core D&D settings?

nevermind i fixed it

[ripe granite]

took the magic initiate feat (warlock) and choosing green flame blade for an rogue but everytime i try to roll damage it says undefined

[edgy oriole]

Looks like you’re using the Beyond20 extension which is 3rd party and not supported by DnDBeyond. It can cause issues.

[modest pelican]

You're using the third party extension Beyond20, which isn't supported by D&D Beyond and can cause issues

I recommend you disable it and see if that fixes things

[ripe granite]

Still nothing

[edgy oriole]

Try clearing browser cache after disabling the extension.

[ripe granite]

how do i do that?

[edgy oriole]

Depends on your browser but usually under the browser settings there’s a way to clear cookies/sessions and that will clear the browser cache. But check on the internet for the best way to clear your browsers cache.

[ripe granite]

it fixed now, thanks

[bleak lantern]

On the App, when will the option be available to attune an item. If you can already, how? 🤔 Can only attune items on the website.

You can attune to any equipped items that require it there

[fallen forge]

I have dndbeyond subscription and have purchased a bunch of options and subclasses and stuff - how do I add players to my campaign so they have access to what I've bought?

[little plume]

So I have an issue with my character sheet.

I created a sheet and prepared my spells but it seems that one of the spells copied and pasted itself.

I cannot unprepare these cloned spells in the prepared spell list of my character.

should i just delete the character and make a new one?

wait i have found a solution

wait no its worse their multiplying

[little plume]

So just a notice.

i have deleted my characters so no help is needed

[uneven lantern]

Once you’ve created a campaign, you should see an invite link at the top of the campaign page. If you send that to your players, they can join with an existing character or create a new one.

You’ll also need to enable Content Sharing for that campaign as well.

[little plume]

hey umm i genuinely think there is an issue with ddb now. can i post a few links to images of the issues had?

because after deleting the old character i had decides to make a rogue and in the multiclass options i had two first levels into rogue. i dont have screen shots but i wanted to show what happened when i deleted the first character.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you can share.

[little plume]

Dyno wont let me

[uneven lantern]

Ah. Just upload the image directly, then.

Did you have the sheet open in multiple tabs?

[magic scaffold]

Yes D&D B seems to be acting weird for them.

[little plume]

No i deleted it because it was lagging really bad

[uneven lantern]

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

[little plume]

im on google chrome

So

I had somehow overflowed the spell sheet and have over idk how many copies of ice knife

as a example this should say 7/7 for a fully prepared spell list

[fallen forge]

Thank you!

[little plume]

it just says 7

[uneven lantern]

Nah, it only shows the / when you have less than total.

Once you’ve reached the total, it just shows that single number.

But why there’s so many ice knives, I’m not sure. 🤔

[little plume]

just today all these issues started

I genuinely think there might be an issue but idk for sure

i just deleted the characters and everything seems normal now

[little plume]

Oh the reason i had an issue was because with the overflow it said like 21/7 11/7

Ik! its weird

[naive lodge]

Do you have any extensions installed, the first step is to try to disable them all. Then it goes to clearing cache and cookies.

[little plume]

Oh right

[little plume]

You said that but i think you are incorrect

Because this happened.

[little plume]

This is what i meant by that

[uneven lantern]

I suppose so. Not really worried about it, though. The real concern is how you ended up with that many instead.

Can you share a link to that character?

Does the same thing happen if you prepare your spells on the Class page of the character builder instead?

[final trellis]

Generally, this can happen with the character open in multiple windows/browsers and editing in multiple locations.

[pine crystal]

Is it possible to add the steel defender stat block to your character sheet?

[little plume]

oh i didnt know

[opal pelican]

Yes, go to the extras tab and you can add it.

[modest pelican]

@pine crystal@opal pelican Not any more; due to the Steel Defender having attributes that scaled with proficiency bonus (which stat blocks can't currently support), it was moved into the Class Features section. There you can see accurate information on it's abilities, and track it's health

[opal pelican]

My orc still as theirs, but I guess that's legacy or something

[modest pelican]

It's archived, yeah (legacy is a different thing)

[uneven lantern]

The archived one follows the original Steel Defender rules from ERFTLW, not the revised version from TCOE.

If you want one in the Extras tab today, you'll need to create it as a homebrew monster and keep it updated as needed. Just make sure to add it under the "Misc" category rather than "Battle Smith Defender" or the old rules might interfere.

Hi I’m planning on using world anvil for managing my campaign and making a wiki for my players. I’m using the forgotten realms setting and putting my own twist on it.

As long as you own the content and are not distributing it in a way that violates the terms of use, it's okay

[forest gust]

Is there any documentation for creating homebrew content in D&DB? So far I've been copying existing content and reverse engineering things like rollable notation. I'm currently trying to figure out how to give a homebrew subclass a certain AC and the little Help bubble isn't particularly helpful.

[uneven lantern]

Dissecting the official stuff often is the best way to figure it out. 😅

[forest gust]

Unfortunate

[uneven lantern]

There are a few things documented, like rollables.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/106856-adding-rollable-tags-to-your-homebrew-monsters-for

For the AC, though, what specifically are you trying to set it to?

[forest gust]

That does help in other areas, thanks.
Right now I'm trying to make a subclass feature that makes unarmored AC = 11 + Dex + Con modifiers

[uneven lantern]

For that, I think a Modifier with the following should do the trick.

Type: Set
Subtype: Unarmored Armor Class
Ability Score: Con
Fixed Value: 1

AC starts with 10+Dex by default, so you only need to add the extra parts.

[forest gust]

It must take some time for ddb's database to sync or something, my test characters will not update to save my life. What I've poked with tells me that should do just the trick though.
Now how about removing proficiencies? Though that's one that I'm fine with keeping track of myself rather than rely on ddb

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up on the character sheet.

I don’t think there’s a homebrew option for removing proficiencies, though.

But you can do it directly on the character sheet.

Just click on the one you want to change, then open the Customize menu in the sidebar.

[gloomy gorge]

Is there any way at all to purchase legacy content? I understand that some of the mechanical stuff has been rebalanced but there's whole chapters of lore information it would be nice to be able to read

[real path]

Physical copies are still out there. Only way on DDB is through campaign sharing

[rocky pelican]

I have made a homebrew Dragon's Wrath Longbow to use with avrae. But I dont know how to add the breath weapon attack. Can you help me with that?

[modest pelican]

#ddb-avrae-help would be the place to ask

[balmy valve]

guys how pplz are able to move variant half-elf bonus from charisma to other stats?

[uneven lantern]

Turn on "Customize Your Origin" in the character settings first. Then on the Race page, click "Origin Manager", turn on "Origin Ability Score Increase", and switch back to "Racial Traits" to make your selection.

[balmy valve]

ok, thx

[coral vessel]

Is there a way to create reuseable, custom mundane weapons, or do I need to use the homebrew tools? I want to be able to specify the damage dice of the weapon, which I don't seem to be able to do when I make a homebrew magic weapon.

[modest pelican]

You cannot make custom mundane weapons outside of custom actions

[sinful sentinel]

Is preordering books the only way to get dice and backdrops for character sheets?

[modest pelican]

No; both dice and backdrops are given out sometimes as subscriber perks, and dice are also available to buy in the marketplace
There are also free dice given out occasionally for special events

[sinful sentinel]

thank you Davyd

[uneven lantern]

This should be fixed! Please let us know if you're still having trouble.

[minor belfry]

Yep!! Just double checked and all working as expected 😄 thank you!!

[glass kiln]

Hey there! I'm currently home-brewing a race and need a bit of help with the ASI trait option.

I'm not sure what or where the setting is to make it so it only appears at the appropriate levels i.e. 4, 8, 12, 16 & 19.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! 🙂

[uneven lantern]

The ones at higher levels are usually based on the class, not the race.

[glass kiln]

Ahhh - that makes sense! Thank you 🙂

[lapis geyser]

just to make sure im not missing it, there isnt a way to change an attacks reach directly on the character sheet is there?

[random dragon]

Ehm question. In My Campaign, the content sharing button dissapeared?

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[uneven lantern]

They’re showing up in mine, in all three variations — ones where it can be enabled, where I’ve enabled it, and where someone else has enabled it.

Can you share a screenshot?

[lapis geyser]

Thanks for the reply, I was supposed to be getting it from a custom feat, and i figured out how to add it by copying what bugbear does 🙂

[balmy dirge]

So I'm deleting my Google Workspace account which was tied to my dndbeyond purchases. Is it possible to move my content and such to a different account?

[final trellis]

Purchases cannot be moved. You can change the associated Google login to the DDB account, or add a Twitch/Apple ID to log in that way

[balmy dirge]

Ok so if I create a twitch account add it. Can I delete the Google account and not lose anything or do I lose the $1000 worth of purchases?

[final trellis]

If you are linking an alternate login method to your DDB account, as long as you can access the DDB account, you dont lose anything - nothing is tied to the individual login account purchase wise.

[balmy dirge]

Good to know, thanks.

[cyan token]

I have purchased a bunch of physical books recently, but I don't own any of these books through DnDBeyond

Can I use the homebrew feature to copy-paste the information those books have onto my character sheet? Or is something like this against ToS? Perhaps there's a better way to do it even?

[uneven lantern]

You can absolutely do that, for private use only. It will get shared with your campaigns automatically; just please don’t publish it to the global community.

Alternatively, you can buy just the parts you need, like a single subclass.

Whatever you spend on those gets credited towards the cost of the book itself, too.

[cyan token]

So its all fair as long as I keep that content private and between my other campaign players?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! All good. 👍🏻

[cyan token]

Thanks for telling! I was worried the website would read me copying the text and I'd be in trouble or something 😅

So i figured it was best to ask first

[uneven lantern]

Funnily enough, it actually does check. 😂

But what you’ll likely see is just a message that says it’s too similar to the official thing to be published.

But generally speaking, any warnings you see really only apply to published homebrew.

For the private stuff, you can just ignore it all.

[cyan token]

I see, very useful information! I appreciate it 👍

[bronze crow]

how do I add a table to a custom magic item?

[lime gulch]

Help. I have a 7th level Blood Hunter and I can't choose the Blood Curse of the Fallen Puppet. It has no prerequisites.
@me the answer.

[modest pelican]

Do you mean you can't choose the blood curse?
Can you link to your character?

[boreal arch]

From Fizban's breath weapon for a dragonborn does 1d10, but D&D Beyond is not updating to this after purchasing Fizban's on D&D Beyond. Error, delay, or will never update?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by 'update'?
Fizban's doesn't change the existing Dragonborn race found in the Player's Handbook, it gives three new Dragonborn races (chromatic, metallic, and gem)

[boreal arch]

Oh, I see. So I created a red dragonborn (based off of normal rules), so it would not benefit from the new rules.

[modest pelican]

No, because they're different race options

[boreal arch]

Got you. Thanks.

[modest pelican]

You would need to change your characters race from Dragonborn to Chromatic Dragonborn

[boreal arch]

My DM said to use the new rules for my breath (maybe he thought I had bad breath 😉 ) - I will ask him what to do.
Thanks again.

[random dragon]

This is what I'm seeing

[modest pelican]

@random dragon Can you confirm the following

1. You have an active, master tier subscription that hasn't lapsed
2. You don't already have content sharing active on 5 other campaigns

[random dragon]

Has the master tier sub always been mandatory?

[modest pelican]

For content sharing? Yes

[random dragon]

I would've put money on it that it wasn't. Would've lost that money than.....

[modest pelican]

You have never been able to share purchased content on D&D Beyond without someone in the campaign having a Master Tier subscription, that's always been the case

[random dragon]

Aaaah just someone in the campaign having the sub. Than that must've been the case! Thank you!

[uneven lantern]

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

[untold moat]

question, if my hero/master subscription ends, do my characters get deleted? since it has the "create unlimited characters" feature

[modest pelican]

No, all your characters get locked and you can unlock up to 6 (the free character limit)
If you resubscribe, all your characters will be unlocked
None of your characters will be deleted

[untold moat]

ahhh, so i cant open em?

[modest pelican]

Not the locked ones, no

[untold moat]

okay thanks, sorry for the disturbance

[modest pelican]

No disturbance

[lime gulch]

It doesn't show up in the lists.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/84880479/builder/class/manage

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I'm not seeing it on my end, either.

[modest pelican]

You haven't selected your Hemocraft Modifier (int or wis) which means some options won't display because that's a mandatory selection used to determine some features

Selecting Hemocraft Modifier: Intelligence or Hemocraft Modifier: Wisdom causes the Blood Curse of the Fallen Puppet (amongst others) to appear

[lime gulch]

Why does that matter? I didn't see it in the class text? Also, why is it selected twice?

[modest pelican]

Why does that matter?
It's the only class that does something like this, so it probably matters to make the class work

I didn't see it in the class text?
It's under the heading "Variant Hemocraft Ability Score"
Variant Hemocraft Ability Score

As a blood hunter, you use your Intelligence modifier for some of your class and subclass features. However, with your DM’s permission, you can choose to instead use your Wisdom modifier for all your blood hunter features that use your Intelligence modifier by default.

Also, why is it selected twice?
I can't see it being selected a second time, just once under Hunters Bane

[uneven lantern]

I would assume each of the "missing" ones is set up as two separate Options, each with a prerequisite on one of the two Hemocraft Modifiers.

That way they can display the correct rules based on your choice (like how much to add to your attacks when you amplify Fallen Puppet).

And it would also mean that without a choice, you haven't met the prerequisite for either, as far as the character sheet is concerned.

The alternative would be to display them without any of the relevant calculations at all.

[gentle falcon]

I am trying to create magic items with the container attribute. Even if copying an existing item the created one does not show when I try to store things in it.

Example, a backpack or pouch or quiver shows and I can move items into them. Same for magical equivalents like quiver of Elhonna or bag of holding. But if I duplicate a bag of holding that duplicate doesn't let me move things into it.

Is this just something I have to live with or is there a way to cause a home brew container to also accept items being stored in them?

[uneven lantern]

You can't create homebrew containers.

But you can add an official container to your sheet and rename it there.

[lime gulch]

I see it's the only class that allows that choice but why is that choice necessary to show some other options?
No where in the text does it specify that ☝️
See under Heightened Senses. There's a second choice for it there.

[uneven lantern]

As we said, it’s a technical limitation, due to the fact the “missing” options all directly depend on the chosen modifier.

In order to give you the correct “version” of Fallen Puppet, it first needs to know which version is correct.

[gentle falcon]

Thanks

[pale crater]

Hello out there

So I have created my Campaign, and I have my players in my campaign, and I would like to add a Adventure to my Campaign. Is there a way to do that?

I would like to add the Space Jammer Academy to my campaign so that I can share the handouts, or can I share them another way?

[modest pelican]

There isn't a way to link adventures to campaigns
As for sharing handouts, you can give your players either links to the images, or copy and paste them

[pale crater]

thanks

[shadow widget]

Hello, I'm extremely new to D&D. me and some cousins of mine decided to try out the game together (just us and one of my siblings) we didn't have a DM, so I decided to stand up for the job. I've been researching tips and stuff for being a DM, but I thought I might as well join a server and ask for some tips (since I'm clueless on what to do)

[cold trellis]

Welcome to D&D. This channel is more for help with technical things. Try checking out what the friendly folks have to say over in the “General D&D” channels

[final trellis]

Welcome! I'd recommend checking out the pinned posts with handy links over in #dnd-newcomers. If you are also taking on the DM role, we have #dm-discussion (requires grabbing a role in #880965682462875679), as well as checking out the DM articles we have on DDB - https://www.dndbeyond.com/tag/dungeon-master-tips

[sand sapphire]

Would this be where I ask about an item and some of its abilities showing up without attunement?

[uneven lantern]

Might depend. What’s the item?

[sand sapphire]

shard of ise rune

without attuning, it's giving me fire resistance

[uneven lantern]

Seems to work fine on my character.

Can you share a link to yours?

[sand sapphire]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/38307918

[opal pelican]

I don't see the fire resistance

I just see Necrotic and radiant

[uneven lantern]

Same

[final trellis]

Im not seeing it either - when you click the defenses section, what are you seeing in the sidebar?

[sand sapphire]

i refreshed and the fire resist went away

[wispy aspen]

Should Lotusden Halfling be available on DDB? I can't seem to find it even though I have access to Wildemounte.

Or is there something I need to do to enable it?

[modest pelican]

Critical Role content is enabled?

[wispy aspen]

That did it, thank you!

[tardy flame]

Hi I'm dming a group rn and I came across a website for maps and such
It's called Kassoon.com
If anyone has any experience with it can you lmk what you think

[peak igloo]

This channel is for help with the D&D Beyond Site and services. You are probably better off asking in #third-party

[tardy flame]

Ah thanks

[fallen forge]

Could somebody help me in creating a feat that gives +1 to an ability score? It seems weirdly confusing but maybe I'm just missing something

[uneven lantern]

The best way to figure it out is to make a homebrew copy of an existing feat. Then you can peek inside and steal its secrets. 🤫

But in this case, you’ll need to add a Modifier.

As an example, for +1 STR…

Type: Bonus
Subtype: Strength Score
Fixed Value: 1

[fallen forge]

thank you for the tip! 🙂

[sour rain]

I don't see the Giff's in DnDBeyond. If I buy the spelljammer books at my local shop, will I be able to use them in the DDB app?

[edgy oriole]

You need to buy the book on DnDBeyond to access it on the app/character builder. Or buy specifically that race - you can buy just specific items. Or be in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled and someone in that campaign having access to that race.

[uneven lantern]

If you buy the physical books, you can use the homebrew tools to add it for your own private use, though.

It will get shared with your campaigns automatically; just please don't publish it to the global community.

They're definitely on DDB, though. You can find them here under Races.

[naive mauve]

How do I apply dedicated weapon to a martial weapon in beyond?

[uneven lantern]

You have to enable that optional class feature for your character first.

Then click on the weapon you want to use, open the Customize section in the sidebar, and check the box for Dedicated Weapon.

[placid cove]

I hope this is the right location for this but how do you share your purchased content with family members? My daughter is getting into DND and I have so much of the content already, I want to share it with her account, which my account says I can do. How do I do that?

[thorn sandal]

First, you need to make sure you're subscribed a master tier to be sure you have access to content sharing. If so, create a campaign(https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns) and have your daughter add her D&D Beyond character sheet to it. On the page for the campaign you created, there should be a button to enable content sharing. Click it, and you should be all set!

[placid cove]

Oh, so only through campaigns can you do so. Thank you for the update.

[thorn sandal]

No problem, happy to help. I hope she has fun!

[boreal arch]

I have a character who sometimes uses a bow, and sometimes uses a short sword and shield.
What is customary to do in terms of AC when it comes to ticking or not ticking the shield in the Inventory section?
With bow: AC16.
With short sword and shield: AC18

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure I understand your question

[boreal arch]

Is it customary to tick bow, sword, shield, and have AC say 18, and try to remember that my AC is 16 if I am holding my bow rather than my sword and shield?
Or is it customary to do the opposite and have AC show 16, and try to remember that my AC is 18 if I am holding my sword and shield?

If I don't tick sword and shield, then the sword damage doesn't show up in the Actions section.
I generally print the character record sheet.

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure what you mean by customary in this context? Are you asking how you should track your AC when playing?

If so, that'd be a question for your DM/table

If you're asking how to remove the AC bonus granted by the shield, you're correct, you unequip the shield

[boreal arch]

By customary I am asking what people generally do.
E.g. does everyone untick the shield but me?

[modest pelican]

That's not really a question for this channel, that'd be more a question for #dnd-discussion
