Also their seems be a weird bug with my character page on iPad and chrome where trying to use the search bar of that page it instead open the account options page

#

It’s just that page it happens on

#

I am sure this question gets asked so many times in here, but when leveling up and rolling for health, how do you actually do this? Do you add it to the rolled hp every single time?

uneven lantern
#

Yep

#

If you have a 35 in that box and roll a 5, you'd update the box to 40.

Hi... so I bought the Master annually subscription through the Android App... and I see that it is there when I log into the website...

#

But when I click on My Subscriptions.. it doesnt recognize it

#

and my players cant select any of the source material in character creation

naive lodge
#

First make sure your account entitlements are in sync at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace, then toggle content sharing off and on in the campaign you're enabling sharing for, then have your players check their entitlements.

vagrant vale
#

WHY IS THERE A BUTTON FOR THIS?? And why is it OFF on default?

lone void
#

The Enable Content Sharing one?

vagrant vale
#

yeah

lone void
#

I assume because you can be in many more campaigns than you can content share with, so you have to choose which campaigns you want to enable it for

vagrant vale
#

that makes sense... thank youi! Makes sense... 🙂

modest pelican
#

Yep, you can only enable content sharing in a maximum of 5 campaigns so you have to select which 5

@granite cargo just go to subscribe, choose the new plan you want to upgrade or downgrade too and than it should take you to a screen where you can purchase that correctly

Made a homebrew item. Can't see anywhere to edit it, cos some of the wording is off

#

Only things I see clickable are: Magic item rules, create a magic item, brose homebrew. Lower is Remove from collection and report.

final trellis
#

Your homebrew that you made, is in your Homebrew creations and is where you would go - it is under the Collections menu.

dense current
#

Yeah I'm there.

#

I guess I could remove and remake?

final trellis
#

You published it - the version cannot ever be edited or changed

dense current
#

Big oof.

final trellis
#

You do not need to publish homebrew, nor should anyone be publishing unless you are 50000% certain you wish to share, and (ideally) never editing the homebrew ever again.

#

The Homebrew Rules and the popups within the toolset do advise this multiple times

dense current
#

Sorry 😐

final trellis
#

No need, sorry if that came across as being direct to you, thats not my intention (today was not the day to cut back on coffee) - the homebrew tools are a nightmare at the best of times, and is the one part of D&D Beyond that I personally recommend to EVERYONE that they read, and reread the notes, the forum threads, check, and understand before even daring to touch it.

#

Clicking the wrong thing and not reading through the warnings can have permanent consequences, as publishing cannot be undone

dense current
#

Alright. Apology accepted. I just threw in my extra notes in the comments. Hope that'll suffice for anyone who wants to gank the idea for the item.

final trellis
#

on that note, im going to make myself a double shot coffee (even though its about to hit 2pm) since clearly I need it ☕

wild nimbus
#

speaking of homebrew item troubles.....😜

#

I've created a feat to give a spell but it doesn't work with a wizard that has spell casting but works fine with a non casting class

#

so when I tested it on a dummy character I thought it was all good until I gave it to the player and it didnt work

uneven lantern
#

In what way doesn’t it work?

wild nimbus
#

in his spell list, prepared spells, in his active spells

#

but on the character with no spell casting it just drops right into the active spells like an item would grant

old cedar
#

Are you looking in the manage spells section, at wizard’s spells?
Or just the spells section on the character sheet?

wild nimbus
#

everything

#

its a spell not available to him

#

seems like its creating a conflict

old cedar
#

It shouldn’t cause an issue
It won’t show up in the manage spells menu because it’s not given by the wizard class/subclass
It should be in the general spells section on the sheet

wild nimbus
#

hmm just went to check it on the dummy character and it's actually disappearing after its added as a feat, next time I load the character sheet its gone

#

but is there when I first add the feat. Would just using an item be easier?

old cedar
#

No, it’s about the same amount of work
Did you make sure that the spell from the feat has ‘Always Prepared’ as yes?
Or that ‘Counts as Spell Known’ is a no?

wild nimbus
#

No, I don't see either option, I did check "Is Infinite"

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, those two options don’t exist for feats.

old cedar
#

Ah, my mistake, I was thinking of the subclass format
It’s a little different for feats

uneven lantern
#

“Is Infinite” lets them select an unlimited number of spells for that feat.

#

Did you select a spell wherever you added the feat? On the Class tab or in Manage Feats?

#

If it was instead supposed to grant a single specific spell, you probably want to uncheck “Is Infinite”.

wild nimbus
#

I selected the spell within the feat creation but really I would like it to be more like the ring of spell storing so maybe I'll start over with an item

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, but if you set the spell to that and checked Is Infinite, that could be what’s causing the issue here. Is Infinite could be overriding your selection.

#

(Unless you added them as two separate entries in the feat.)

wild nimbus
#

ok that didn't seem to help either, I'm going to swap to a ring of spell storying to see how its setup then add the arcane grimoire stats to it and see if it ends up where I want it

#

appreciate the help

uneven lantern
#

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

#

So it’s possible the sheet just hasn’t picked up the change yet.

wild nimbus
#

ok, just saw the ring of spell storing doesn't actually add anything its just an item...😥

#

guess I wanted to be able to use spells not on the list is why I went with a feat, I did this like a month ago and didn't quite remember what all I read

uneven lantern
#

What’s the actual text description for what you’re trying to build?

wild nimbus
#

essentially an Arcane Grimoire +1 (minus the arcane recover) / Book of Spell Storing not limited to the users spell list

#

L5 wizard found a very powerful spellbook of an empowered BBEG caster so doesn't quite know what its capable of. It will be their signature item as the campaign progresses and it grows with them

#

I thought I could have it where they (or I if needed) select the spell that it will use each time so it shows up on their spell list.

#

(he was a bit of a necromancer too and the party has no healer type so I had it come with revivify incase things went south)

wild nimbus
#

guess I would need to add every single spell to the feat first then hey could reselect it each time through manage feat....

uneven lantern
#

Nah, don’t specify any spell.

#

Just leave it blank and it should prompt them to choose.

wild nimbus
#

oh well that would be a lot better 😉

#

I'll try it and see

wild nimbus

modest pelican
#

Are you, by any chance, using a third party extension such as Beyond20 or AboveVTT?

#

Or are you referring to the roll button on the spell  under the 'effect' column?

unknown.png
hybrid timber
#

Im referring to the under effect column. It doesnt show the die type and even if I press the button it doesnt roll.

modest pelican
#

Yeah, that's a quirk of the dice roll UI and booming blade

hybrid timber
#

Can I fix it somehow?

modest pelican
#

You can't, no. But I can pass it along

hybrid timber

That would be helpful thank you.

#

Is it possible to hide certain homebrew items from my players if they're in one of my campaigns?

modest pelican
#

You can remove them from your collection, that prevents them being shared

iron wraith
#

Cool

modest pelican
#

That will apply to all campaigns, it's not possible to do this on a campaign by campaign basis

Just make sure to add them back again when you want to use them 😉

hi all im new here, i have a question on the digital books. Now that Wizard of the coast buyed the site, there are the possibility to convert a physical book into a pdf?

modest pelican
#
  1. D&D Beyond doesn't provide PDFs
  2. There is no option to convert books as physical books do not come with any unique identifier

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

There are four ways to access content on D&D Beyond that you may have in your physical books

  1. Purchase the full book from the marketplace
  2. Purchase individual elements from the marketplace (options can be found within the book description)
  3. Join a campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
  4. Use the homebrew tools to copy the content from your physical book into D&D Beyond. Note: Do not publish any content copied in this way, it is for personal use only

The newer core rulebook gift set and rules expansion gift set bundles. Does anyone know if the digital books are automatically linked to our account, codes to redeem or something else?
I would like to get them both, for the new foil covers and also because I’m still adventuring with the 1st print core books and it’s time to update. However, I have all but one of the six books on dndbeyond already and was gonna see if they were codes that I can give as gifts or rewards to my friends &/or players. Thanks for any and all help/answers 🙏🏼

modest pelican

It's a code sent to you via email that you redeem

heavy jetty
modest pelican
#

I haven't got either

#

I have the books physically and digitally already

Oh. So those are the same ones already out in a box set? Not newer ones. May be cheaper to go that way and just get the one ddb book I need

I'm not sure what you mean by newer ones?

If I'm not allowed to bump my LFG on the forums then how exactly can I use it to find a group as my thread sinks into oblivion?

modest pelican
#

Make sure your post is clearly titled as to what game you're offering and the information within is clear and understandable.
Being at the top of the forums isn't the only way to find players, people browse through the games and even use the search function. This is actually why we specify a template; so people can find games more easily

#

Bumping is prohibited because it just turns the forum into a battleground of who can spam their own post the most to keep it at the top

dense current
#

I get that but was hoping for like a seven day thing. I got a few nibbles at first but it's just gone now.

modest pelican
#

Nope, zero bumping policy

slate goblet
#

how is one suppose to handle the hit dice for a creature that can be small or medium sized? am currently working on a 5e adaptation of the Dessicator, and while most of them are small they can come in larger sizes
cuz from what i am aware since this option was added for the size category on dnd beyond when creating a creature or modifying it, no clarification the effect this has on the hit die used

modest pelican
#

Can you clarify what you mean? Are you talking about making a race or a monster?

slate goblet
#

monster

modest pelican
#

If I'm understanding you correctly, this isn't actually a D&D Beyond support question, but a game rules/homebrew question? Ie "What effect does size category have on a monsters hit dice?"
For that, you want to check the Dungeon Master's Guide, chapter 9, Creating a Monster

#

And for further homebrew questions, we have #homebrew

slate goblet
#

ah, did ask there first, but since was part of the site's creature creation system i was not sure if they had an answer so thought might have been worth checking

modest pelican
#

It's not part of the site's homebrew tools, it's part of the rules on monsters, found in the section I referenced

slate goblet
#

k, was not sure especially since it is not in that section since again the option was introduced in a much later book

modest pelican
slate goblet
#

no i mean monsters of the multiverse, since that to my knowledge was the first book where a creature on it's statblock for size category can literally have "small or medium"

modest pelican
#

I'm not aware of any stat block that is "small or medium"

slate goblet
#

idk, maybe the option being added to the filters and stuff is just causing me to over think it

Can you provide a link to the affected character?

there is a "share" button near the long and short rest buttons, on the character sheet

#

Those buttons aren't in the mobile

idle arch
#

you'll have to click the "view character on website" button to get the share button

smoky hatch
#

Beast don't have language so why is it still !

idle arch
#

The rules for Favored enemy say

When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice that is spoken by your favored enemies, if they speak one at all.
so I believe you are just supposed to leave that blank

modest pelican
#

You don't have to pick a language if you don't want to

gaunt bloom
#

Some beasts do speak a language. Giant Elk, Giant Eagle, and Giant Swan, for example.

smoky hatch
#

The ! Bugs me I want one but they don't
How do I know what to pick

gaunt bloom
#

Giant Swan speaks Primordial (Auran)

smoky hatch
#

Hmm
Giant Eagle , understands Common and Auran but can't speak them
Giant Elk, Giant Elk , understands Common, Elvish, and Sylvan but can't speak them
Can't find swan at all when I google

gaunt bloom
#

It's from ||The Wild Beyond the Witchlight|| adventure

smoky hatch
#

I don't have that book and can't find anything online about it
I look on wiki and such and the only one that shows giant swan they have Language --

#

No mention of a language

#

But yha they mention how it can understand but not speak

idle arch
#

Well, in the end, those are 3 very niche examples. Broadly speaking, beasts don't normally speak a language, so it would be odd for you to get a language from this feature. If you want to represent that, you just leave the choice blank. If you want to pick something else, then you need to ask your DM for permission first

smoky hatch
#

Under eagle

winged turtle

sharp loom
#

I am unsure where to post but question using a Scimitar of sharpness vs adamantine armor how would that play out
since it rolls a 20 twice to register a limb removal would it work against adamantine or would it be considered denied due to crit prevention

cosmic pebble
#

adamantine armor prevents critical effects, not necessarily effects that occur on a 20

#

sword of sharpness, and vorpal swords, still effect a target wearing adamantine armor normally, though there is a weird corner case

solid kestrel
cosmic pebble
#

with the vorpal sword, if someone rolls a 20 against a target but the target doesn't have a head, has legendary actions, or the GM decides it's too big to have it's head cut off it'll take an additional 6d8 slashing damage. this is normally doubled when you roll a 20, because it's a critical hit. when you're wearing adamantine armor, that critical hit becomes a normal hit, so it isn't doubled. but you do still take the additional 6d8

We can't say what secondary effects a fix might have, be it a rollback or what. I would suggest leaving the page open for the time being and not attempting to save anything
It is very unlikely that any site rollback would affect saved content such as characters and homebrew; those are for the most part stored within a different part of the database structure
But with all things tech, it's better to be safe than sorry

I have a question. I have Tasha's Cauldron of Everything on D&D Beyond. For some reason the spell "Spirit Shroud" does not show up in my Death Domain Cleric's list of known spells on his character sheet. Would anyone here have a clue as to what I am doing wrong?

modest pelican

Have you enabled optional class features, and then enabled additional cleric spells?

simple falcon
#

Umm...probably not. Can you give me a clue as to how to do that?

modest pelican
#

Enable optional class features on the first page of the character builder

simple falcon
#

Okay I found that. Do you have to do that for every character creation, or will it stay turned on?

modest pelican
#

Then go to the class page in the builder and there'll be an optional features tab. Select that tab and enable additional cleric spells

#

It must be enabled each time you make a character

When I go to that tab, this is what I get...no place to enable additional cleric spells

modest pelican
#

You would only see that if you don't own Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

simple falcon
#

I got Tasha's book by it being shared with me by a friend. Do I have to actually buy the book or spell myself to make it available to my character?

modest pelican
#

If it's being shared with you, are you making the character in the campaign where the book is being shared?

simple falcon
#

Oh, no I am not. If I move the character into that campaign, and then add the spell, will the spell still be there when I move the character out of the campaign?

modest pelican
#

Nothing will be removed if you've already added it to the character

simple falcon
#

Ok, I will try to move the character there, add the spell and then move him back out. Thanks for the help.

#

It worked by putting my character in that campaign. The spell is available in the known spells. But when I remove the character, the spell is lost. Can I play that character in multiple campaigns and in Roll 20 at the same time?

modest pelican
#

D&D Beyond has no connectivity to roll20
A character can only be in one campaign at a time

#

I forgot that clerics are prepared casters, so the spell would only remain if it was prepared

simple falcon
#

I have gotten the Beyond20 Add-on and my character sheet does work in the game I am playing there.

#

Once prepared would that keep it in the known spell list?

modest pelican
#

D&D Beyond doesn't not support any third party extensions, such as beyond 20, which modify the site

modest pelican
simple falcon
#

Okay, I will try it that way. Thanks.

#

It does keep it with the character as long as it is prepared. Once unprepared, it disappears if the character isn't in the campaign. Thanks for your help.

How do I use DDB to roll a skill check to DM?

uneven lantern
#

Unless you’ve changed any of the default settings for that character, you just click the thing you want to roll.

#

If the things can’t be clicked, check your character settings to make sure dice rolls are still enabled.

#

If the rolls show up in the Game Log for you but not your DM, check the settings at the top of the game log.

#

Or you can change the visibility for an individual roll if you right click or long press it first.

Is there a youtube video or a step-by-step guide? I am completely clueless on how to use this website. I have a feeling it was right in my face and by dumb self couldn't see it though.

But what are you trying to do?

#

Is there a bug/glitch that is stopping users from seeing sourcebooks in shared campaigns? I am sharing all the sourcebooks, including Monsters of the Multiverse, and my players can only see the races from the "Players Handbook".

little plume
#

Yes, the player I am working with ATM has their entitlements synced.

uneven lantern
#

What race are they trying to select?

little plume
#

Aarakocra from the Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse. However, none of the content from any source is there. Outside the Players Handbook races.

uneven lantern
little plume
#

Yes, I have a checkmark next to it, and am sharing it in the campaign.

uneven lantern
little plume
#

Yes, mine are in sync as well.

uneven lantern
#

Can you share a link to that character?

little plume
#

I think the content sharing stuff is just borked. I don't have Eberron enabled, but now they are able to see it on Humans.

uneven lantern
#

If you’re referring to the toggles under Content Management, those shouldn’t effect the character builder at all. Those only restrict them from reading the book itself, mostly to prevent adventure spoilers.

#

If your referring to the Sources toggles in the character settings, those could potentially show or hide certain races.

#

But Aarakocra doesn’t depend on any of those. If it’s available, it should always be shown.

little plume
#

Not in the character settings. For example, I have "Acquisitions Incorporated" blocked. The users don't own any source books. However, now that I have turned on a few adventures, they can see the "Acquisitions Incorporated" race for Verdan.

#

So there is an Adventure somewhere that gives access to all Races, or No races.

uneven lantern
#

And you’re referring to the toggles found by clicking Content Management on the campaign screen, correct?

little plume
#

Correct

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, that definitely doesn’t sound right.

#

Can you share a link to that character?

little plume
#

However, if you create a character, you have access to all of those.

#

Or rather, all 5 people I am working with ATM have access to those.

#

And either they have access to everything, or nothing, depending on if I have All adventures shared or no adventures shared.

#

But, you should have access to everything from Monsters of the Multiverse. Currently, nothing is showing but the players handbook races.

dawn egret
#

okay but what about the link to the in-progress character that isn't seeing what they should be? which is what was asked for.

little plume
#

I don't think you can edit a character that you don't have access to in the campaign, but that is the character that is not showing any of the races to pick from, or ALL of the races.

uneven lantern
#

Thanks. I passed that on behind the scenes for someone to take a look.

#

Probably won’t get a quick response this late on a Friday night, though.

But I’ll let you know when I hear back.

I appreciate you talking me through it, cause I was pretty sure I was going crazy.

#

One question in particular

#

One question in particular, with the snippets how i make a feature that grants proeficiency in something in particular?

modest pelican
#

Snippets don't grant proficiency

#

If you want to grant proficiency, it depends on what you're homebrewing

astral abyss
#

Its for the stuff that comes with hex warrior

modest pelican
#

So you're homebrewing a subclass?

astral abyss
#

Yes

modest pelican
#

You'll want to add a class feature and give it a modifier

#

In the modifier, you'll want to set the Modifier Type to Proficiency and the Modifier Subtype to whatever proficiency you want to grant

#

For example, medicine proficiency:

image.png image.png
astral abyss
#

Thanx mod

#

🙂

#

So then It Will be displayes on the CS right?

modest pelican
#

It will add the proficiency to the area of the character sheet that displays proficiencies

#

You will need to add a description to the class feature for it to be displayed in features and traits

uneven lantern
#

“Snippet” is what gets displayed in Features & Traits. “Description” is shown in the sidebar after you click the snippet.

how do you change the base damage of a weapon through homebrew

You can't, sadly.

You can change the damage type though, such as how a Sun Blade does Radiant instead of Slashing.

You’ll probably have more luck creating it as a custom action directly on the character sheet.

random forum
#

so are some features from a 6 year old book

modest pelican
#

Yes, there are many features the team would love to have implemented support for. However when it comes to D&D, supporting features is very much a moving target due to the constant release cycle of books

random forum
#

or the fact that there's 0 incentive, particularly financially, for them to fix any mistakes when they can put the same resource to sell another set of digital dice because folks already bought them and have suffered that long

modest pelican
#

Digital dice aren't developed by the same team that does system work. In fact, it's not even the same skill set; the logic for the dice is same across dice and it's 3d artists who make the various designs. They're not the same resources
I can assure you, there are loads of features the team would love to get implemented; optional rules, QoL improvements, etc.

random forum
#

and what exactly improved after DDB stopped doing UA, not even having it as pure text?

#

if ddb can get away from selling substandard faulty digital tools at full price with no disclaimer or warning prior to purchase, why and when would they "fix" anything if at all

modest pelican
#

All I can do is assure you that the team has every desire to get the various features supported that you and others in the community have mentioned

do you think it's an ethical business practice that DDB sells book+online creation tool package that contains dysfunctional parts yet withdrawing this piece of information from consumers before the purchase?

Hi everyone! I'm a veteran DM, but I'm running an adventure through DnD Beyond for the first time and I have some questions on technical matters I'd like to ask, if you'd be so kind.

edgy oriole
#

What would you like help with?

river ore
#

It's about the "Run an Encounter" button, in the Beta Encounter Builder.

#

What do players see when I hit that button?

edgy oriole
#

Nothing. It’s for the DM and creates like an initiative tracker

#

To run the encounter with.

#

But yeah it’s just for the DM

real path
#

your players only see the rolls you set to public. And only if their characters and the encounter is linked to the same campaign

#

if players use their sheet to roll initiative, then that result will be automatically transfered into the encounter btw

river ore
#

It is linked to the campaign I'm running for them.

edgy oriole
#

Yes but players won’t see the encounter tracker - only the rolls made public by you via the game log on the campaign

real path
#

right, so the players can see the rolls you make, if you show them, and which creature is making the roll, if its visible at all, but you can control all that

dapper lantern
#

I have a problem in the race creator, I can't add traits to subraces

river ore
#

Thanks very much, @real path and @edgy oriole! Then I guess I'll run it right now, the way I see my players have been doing to do rolls of their own, just to try out the tools. I'll probably be back with another question soon.

edgy oriole
#

Have fun!

river ore
#

Alright, this one I do need help with, please.

#

When I make a roll for a creature in the encounter linked to a campaign, in the encounter screen I can see the roll, whether it's set to Self or Everyone. If I open the game log in the campaign screen, I can see in that log the rolls my players have been doing, just to try out the tool, but it shows my roll with a ? only, regardless if it's set to Self or Everyone. What does this difference mean?

real path
#

hmm, I cant replicate that on my end

river ore
#

Let me show you in a couple of screnshots

#

This is how it looks from the encounter screen. The first roll is to everyone, the second to self. It shows the roll.

From_encounter_screen.png
#

Strange, now I can see it as well in the campaign game log.

#

Oh well, all's good then!

#

Maybe it was just taking it's time to transfer the info, and now it's doing it instantly, but it was there, visible all the same.

#

Thanks for your time!

#

strange stream

Is it cause I'm using space clowns?

edgy oriole
#

Did you give the encounter a name?

strange stream
#

I did

#

I'll double try though.

edgy oriole
#

Hmmm. Not sure. I don’t think it’s because of any particular creatures you have in the encounter.

strange stream
#

Whatever it is. IT's linked to the campaign. I just saved the encounter in a different game. At least that's a work around.

#

Won't let me run it with the party. It error's

Unnamed characters, characters that are locked.

does anyone know if you can update the billing cycle on annual sunscriptions, so you don't have to pay extra per year you pay? I have a yearly master subscription, and in a month is the next charge. but the price is 54.99 + tax/year. so this time I'm paying 68.74 instead of the previous price. Is it possible to cancel the subscription, and then subscribe again to reset it, without loosing all your stuff?

uneven lantern
#

DDB doesn’t charge you more based on how long you’ve been a subscriber.

#

$54.99 USD is the current price for a yearly Master Tier subscription, whether you’ve been a subscriber for years or just signed up.

#

Cancelling and resubscribing will not change anything here.

rotund iris
#

hm, but then why does it say it's charging me 68.74 usd next month?

uneven lantern
#

Anything above the $54.99 I would presume is because of your local taxes.

#

Or possibly conversion rates if you live outside the US.

#

I don’t know exactly.

rotund iris

That would make sense

It just means you can't publish it to the general public because it's too similar to official published material. You can still use "unpublished" homebrew inside your own games/campaigns.

jolly kindle
#

I can't get it to show up as a character option

bleak pine
#

As it says clearly, homebrew subclasses have to provide subclass features at the same time as official ones, and I'm guessing there probably isn't a way around it

uneven lantern

They only need that to publish it.

Private homebrew can have features at whatever levels you want.

uneven lantern

#

yes

#

I dont see an option to publish it, does it have to be filled out to L20 first? I only did stuff up to L3

uneven lantern
#

Again, you won’t be able to publish it to the global community as long as those errors are there. You’d have to provide features at all the expected levels for a ranger before you can do that.

#

But it’s usable for your own characters and automatically shared with your campaigns already.

I couldn’t have done anything. I don’t have that kind of power. 🤣

#

Rule one of homebrew - dont publish. (Rules by Sorce 😛 )

#

Once you publish something it the version can never be edited again.

You do not need to publish to use your own homebrew. So if you see an error message regarding publishing (and you arent wanting to publish) ignore the error, it means nothing unless you are publishing

If it is Google you are trying to log in with:

Are you able to check if you have an ad blocker browser extension? If you do, can you check for a setting that might be "Block social media icons tracking" or a filter list that "removes social media buttons"? With those settings disabled/unchecked, you should see the Google Sign-in button with the Google icon and allow you to sign in.

Alternatively, if you are using a security/anti-virus program called 'Kaspersky', please check if you have the "Private Browsing" setting that blocks data collection. This setting is known to block the Google login button from functioning.

We have also seen recent reports that a browser extension/add-on called Privacy Badger has also been causing issues. If you have this, I would recommend disabling it and checking if you can log in with Google.

The ticketing system is not linked to your D&D Beyond account, so you can use a different email
However, tickets are responded to in the order they are received, so it can take on average up to 48 hours for a reply, longer during busy periods
We can't provide help with subscription billing issues here, your best bet is to wait for a member of the customer support team to get back to you.

Hello DDB helpers. I have a situation that is both shocking and sad. My dungeon master had purchased the legendary bundle at some point in the past, plus additional items we all chipped in for under his account. He unexpectedly died Friday night; no lie.

We are dealing with that, his wake and everything else but I wanted to ask if materials under his account can be transferred to another? [Assuming his daughter can login and prove his passing to some administrator]

uneven lantern

The sorcerer subclass for aberant mind and clockwork soul get expanded spell lists that say you can swap out spells. How do I swap them out? There doesn’t seem to be an option to do so.

For now, that’s done by making a homebrew copy of that subclass and change it there.

What does line 2 mean on dbd beyond when I buy a race

Line 2 where?

uneven lantern
#

Some addresses have multiple lines for the street address (for things like apartment numbers, as an example).

#

If your own address does not, you can leave that blank.

You shouldn't share screenshots of your address on a public discord server

And yes, like spam said, it's the second line of your address

#

So is 123 fake Street line 1?

#

Or apt 12

uneven lantern
#

Yes

#

Apt 12 is line 2

#

But again, not every address even has a line 2. If yours does not, just leave it blank.

modest pelican
#

@boreal arch Please don't paste the same message over and over, this constitutes spamming

uneven lantern
#

If you know of any official content with that effect, you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how that was set up.

#

I can’t think of any off the top of my head, though.

#

And if there aren’t any, it may not be possible to do in the way you’re hoping.

boreal arch
#

I have not received an answer. What do I do if I don't receive an answer?

#

If someone says it is not possible, then I will accept it.

naive lodge
#

For one, #homebrew is the appropriate channel as listed in #880965682462875679, and the people who most heavily use homebrew hang out there. For two, spamandtuna did answer your question.

boreal arch
#

When I posted this question in homebrew I was advised to ask it here instead.
Spamandtuna's answer is a kind-of-answer in my opinion, with no real confirmation that it cannot be done.

uneven lantern
#

Generally speaking, the homebrew system is built to facilitate the official rules. If no official content has done that, then functionality for it probably wasn’t built.

#

If it was possible, I’d expect it to be a Modifier with Type: Bonus and a subtype called something like “Ranged Attack Damage”.

#

I see no such subtype, so I doubt this is possible.

boreal arch
#

I have tested as many of the combinations that I can even guess have anything to do with damage, and none have succeeded.
It is (has been) a very long process, and in trying all the combinations I am not 100% sure I have succeeded due to caching often preventing changes from coming through immediately.

sly fern
#

Is there anyway to more easily access the homebrew creator on mobile, or no?

modest pelican
#

The homebrew tools aren't designed for use on mobile, so no, unfortunate not

boreal arch
#

Not sure if this is the right thread, but are there any plans to provide a separate mobile app for devices bigger than a phone? An app with an interface more similar to the web interface, where more is shown on screen at once?

edgy oriole
boreal arch
#

Oh sorry, I meant the regular character record sheet interface only.
When used through the app it is well designed for a phone-sized screen, but there is so much more real estate available if used on a tablet-sized device.

#

And I do use the web interface on my tablet when playing.

Get together with your friends and start telling a story. Where and how you do that is up to you.

Okay, I have another problem: I'm trying to create an arcane firearm with an artillerist's character sheet, but I can't find where the command is to create one. There's a plain, ordinary Staff in her inventory, but nothing I can find will let me turn it into an arcane firearm.

solid kestrel
#

"You can use your arcane firearm as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells. When you cast an artificer spell through the firearm, roll a d8, and you gain a bonus to one of the spell's damage rolls equal to the number rolled."
That's it. You can just use a Wand or Staff or whatever you do carve, and mark it. Otherwise it's easy to assume you have it and use the beneficial feature for your spells.

fossil dagger
#

Interface-wise.

solid kestrel
#

arcane firearm isn't an attack, nor is it an attack itself.

fossil dagger
#

I mean for it to do the d8

#

Without manually rolling.

edgy oriole
#

Create a custom attack on the front end of the sheet if you need to have that specifically set out

fossil dagger
#

Oh. I misread it big time. My bad.

You can add spells you have learned from a spellbook (or scroll) by going to manage spells and selecting the spells your character has found

timber nest
#

It only has the spells listed from the spells i picked for the class?

modest pelican
#

You want to expand "Add Spells" at the top

timber nest
#

Or at least it doesn't have options for spell levels I don't hold

modest pelican
#

You can tap the Learn button to add more spells

timber nest

I have higher level spells then the wizard spell levels i picked up recently. any way to add them?

#

like i have skywrite picked up, and with my class loadout i have 4th level max,

#

but the add list only goes to 1st

old cedar
#

As a multiclassed spellcaster, you can have higher level slots than spells, but you still prepare each class spells individually

modest pelican
#

You cannot learn spells of a level higher than the spell slots you have to cast them in that class

timber nest
#

So there's no way to force the DDB sheet to work with that. Rad.

modest pelican
#

No, the sheet follows the rules as they are written

hushed apex
# uneven lantern What happens when you try to add it?

Well, nothing, that's the problem. The shortest list is what I'm getting with the player's sorcerer PC and the longest list is the one I'm getting with my own character. With the player's sheet, I turned on the "Metamagic Options" optional feature, but with my own character sheet, I didn't turn it on and yet I'm getting the extra metamagic options

If it is Google you are trying to log in with:

Are you able to check if you have an ad blocker browser extension? If you do, can you check for a setting that might be "Block social media icons tracking" or a filter list that "removes social media buttons"? With those settings disabled/unchecked, you should see the Google Sign-in button with the Google icon and allow you to sign in.

Alternatively, if you are using a security/anti-virus program called 'Kaspersky', please check if you have the "Private Browsing" setting that blocks data collection. This setting is known to block the Google login button from functioning.

We have also seen recent reports that a browser extension/add-on called Privacy Badger has also been causing issues. If you have this, I would recommend disabling it and checking if you can log in with Google.
