so, why doesn't the Superior Technique fighting style give me a digital choice that i can then keep on the sheet and view automatically?
its not, like, annoying but it is kinda weird. after all, every other feature that has further choices than a single one gives you those choices digitally automatically
talking about this feature ofc
It's because of how fighting styles and manoeuvres exist in the system, it's not currently possible to nest them like that
Are you trying to create a new character or add an existing one?
add an existing one
I assume that character isn’t already in a campaign?
Do you know how many players the campaign has already?
I dont. Trying to figure that out atm. I thought it would give me a different error if it was full?
My proficiencies wont display when I use custom background?
I'd kind of uh, like those..
My languages don't show either, nor do my tools
i dunno if this is the best spot to ask this but i`m trying to find tyranny of dragons to run with my group but i only see the two separate adventures. are these updated for tyranny of dragons or are they the originals
they're the updated ones.
ToD is a box set of errata'd Hoard and Rise.
the errata is included on DDB
character sheet pdf won't update
Clear you cache.
didn't work
That is the general way to fix it assuming you've waited for the server cache to expire, which can take up to 15 minutes, but usually only 5. If it still won't update you can try toggling inspiration and checking again.
Are you certain you cleared the browser cache/cookies? Doing so will reset what was previously exported, so the next pdf export is the updated sheet.
i did. I'll try closing and reopening Opera GX as a whole instead of just the tab, see if that works
okay there we go, opera was just being weird. seriously considering switching back to google at this point 😞
Why does PAM not work with the actual weapon on ddb
is dnd beyond not work for firefox browser today?
i try useing microsoft edge and it work fine just why is it acting this way and i know im not the only one,
i thought it might be the addons the, No script addon that might be blocking but its not, i turn it off and tested it and the websight not working right, when i use the search to look up monster most of the link wont respond and this all done not sigh in to my account, can you guys take a look at this pleas? was not like this a few weeks ago?
and i try turning off all the ad blocking addons and still getting this issue,
What exactly is the issue you are facing? Is it logging in, the character sheet, something else?
i was about to update, I can still log in with my Google account, and it working Fine, Just when your not sigh in it just dose not fully work , mostly seen the issue with serch tabs like the buttons don't work but when your sigh in there working fine, tho. the salt marsh music song by sam rigle is not work even sigh in?
only issue is when your not sigh in some features dont work for the public when your sigh in it works fine
but these only show up on firefox and chrome, microsoft edge dose not have these issues
its just ODD
I hope this get fix soon before folks who use fire fox or chorme freak out and thinking its there system
never had this issue in last month ((reason i found out is most of my dnd group are bussy with hoilday and sickness))
Still not working
Can you link to the affected character sheet
Refresh your sheet
No worries, all I did was change elvish to another language and back again. This prompted the sheet to refresh the changes
Huh
Yeah, it lets us provide some extra support to help fix things like this
Appreciate it
If I had to guess, you selected elvish at just the wrong moment and it didn't lock in properly. nothing you could've done really, just computers gonna compute
Yeah I noticed that it worked earlier today but i wanted to change it to tool + language instead of two language and it undid whatever I did to fix it
i'll stick with 2 languages probably though dont need to rock the boat
If I'm making a subclass on DDB, is there a way to choose my spellcasting ability outside of fixing it upon creation? Like in the same way that a Warlock can choose invocations, you could choose between INT/WIS/CHA for your primary stat
I don’t believe so.
ok now microsoft doing the same thing. Any one els having issue with dnd beyond, when your NOT sigh in like the serch feature for homebrew, monster, spell, items or any of the serch features not work right or don't respond at all?
Any one els having these issue as well when your NOT sigh in to DND beyond?
Seems to work fine for me, on Firefox.

Are you sigh in or not, and I just try it on my phone internet app, doing the same thing.
on ddb homebrew magit items, what's the difference between set - unarmoured ac and bonus - unarmoured ac?
Set - Unarmoured AC puts your Unarmored AC at a specified value (such as Tortle's AC)
Bonus - Unarmoured AC adds value to your normal Unarmored AC (10+Dex+Bonus)
Depends on if you can tell us what ails you?
can someone help me? the homebrew thingy is forcing me to write in bold and i can't turn it off
all text that i input is bolded
We would not have asked to publish, as doing this cannot be undone and stops any editing.
Hey question for you all, sorry if this is obvious or already answered. I have TCoE purchased on DnD Beyond with the Master Tier which means this source book should be accessible to players in my campaign, correct?
One of my players wanted to be a druid class from TCoE but he couldn't choose it, I had to go in to his sheet and select it for him.
Only if you have have content sharing enabled in that campaign. If it is make sure that everyone's entitlements are in sync at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace
Yes I think this was it, thanks so much!
d&d beyond is just giving me a white screen when i try to make a character? plz help am confused
Are you running any browser extensions like Adblock? Try disabling it and trying again.
ok, as of rn im using opera gx if that means anything
Also check your browser developer tools and look for any red error messages in the console. That can give us clues about what might be breaking.
ok
Opera GX - are you using opera’s vpn services?
not at the moment no
Hmmm. Can you try using a different browser to use DnDBeyond?
i think i still have edge installed, will that work?
I would give it a shot. If Edge doesn’t have any browser extensions than that would be also good.
Some browser extensions can interfere with normal DDB functionality.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know what the updates on dndbeyod are for the books? I have about 7 new updates on the digital versions
I think it was just to fix some display issues. No actual content changes.
Any meaningful changes will be published as errata or called out in the changelog.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog
That's what I thought, but then it just sent me an invite here. Thanks for the direction
is there a way to have rage affect dice or do we have to do it ourselves mentally for now?
There's no built-in support for it yet.
(Some users make homebrew magic items as a workaround: equip the item to add the effect, then unequip when you're done.)
I am trying to add a save dc to a feat. Whats the~~ tooltip~~ tag (maybe?) for that? I can't remember
The snippet code used in a snippet field would be {{savedc:xxx}} where xxx is STR, DEX, CON, WIS, INT, or CHA. Since it's a feat, you have to pick which of those abilities to use. Similar to how the Telekinetic or Telepathic feats have 3 choices, the system doesn't have the ability to pick that on the fly in a feat for the 3 different spellcasting abilities.
The tooltip used on the feat's description page would be [rule]saving throws[/rule] or [rule]saving throws;saving throw[/rule]
Other than that, you'll need to be more specific about what you mean.
This is perfect, I just haven't navigated the feat creation too often. I figured out what I need from this. Thanks!!
You can learn more about snippet codes here:

I was just about to pimp out https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules
All the stickied posts are very useful in learning about the homebrew system. Dig down through some threads.
Thanks! I will dive into it
How do I mark a weapon for my pact weapon in dndb mobile?
I'm using dnd beyond and I was wondering if it was possible to give my characters more spells. I have a ranger but I wanted to add a few more spells but am unable too. I was wondering if there was a work around
That depends on what you mean by “more spells”.
Are you trying to give them access to spells outside the ranger spell list? Or trying to give them more ranger spells beyond the number they can normally learn? Or something else entirely?
I'm trying to add options to my homebrew race, only one of the 3 are appearing. I can see my homebrew race and the racial traits, but I choose to add options because the race has options for the traits. Only one of the 3 is able to be chosen and the other 2 aren't even there.
If anyone has a solution please @ me or reply with the @ setting enabled please
Were the second two included in the race from the start, or edited in afterward?
Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the character sheet.
I'm having an issue with dndbeyond homebrew? Is this the right discord/channel? I'm trying to duplicate the lunar sorcerer subclass but I keep getting an internal server error 500. This doesn't happen if I try it with anything else. Everything works normally
If you're trying to learn spells that aren't for Ranger/going beyond spells known, iirc it's almost the same thing. You have to make a custom feat or add to collection some of the feats in the homebrew list that will add said spell. It's a workaround, and the spell is always going to show up as "at will". I don't think there's an actual system to learn more spells like the Wizard interface.
how can i change the Clockwork Magic known spells? they are added automatically to my sheet and can't find where to remove them as on leel up i can replace them with other spells
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an abjuration or a transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.
Currently the character sheet doesn't natively support the spell swapping of subclasses like Clockwork Soul
wow that is a big limitation ahaahh
It's a limitation of how the character sheet works and the team is aware of the need to implement changes to support it
As a workaround, you can make a homebrew copy of the subclass and then edit the spells to change them
that could be an option thanks 🙂
Beyond the ranger spell list
I had made a homebrew subclass that would give them more spells but I can't actually apply those spells
@modest pelican would you know anything about this? I want to make my own multi phase type sub & planned on using lunar as a base & editing instead of making it by scratch (and making not work so well with the builder).
I've tried it every few days but since it's only an issue with lunar is there something up with that?
Wait, you should be able to implement that in the homebrew system, giving spells
You can. I'd do a homebrew subclass, add a new class feature, then add them inside under Additional Spell List.
It was my first doing it so I probably messed it up
anyone has had issues purchasing from the website? for some reason I have never been able to purchase anything from it, but works just fine from the app
What kind of issues?
not able to finish the purchase, have tried several payment forms, browsers, computers and all have the same issue
In what way are you unable to finish?
When placing an order a banner saying "There was an error completing the transaction"
Does it give you any kind of an error code?
nope, just the generic error message. Have a screenshot if you need it
Nah, that's fine. I'm afraid without an error code your best bet is to contact customer support. They should be able to take a look under the hood and figure out what's going on.

hi, im making a ranger and trying to change out favored enemy with favored foe in the character builder but i dont see the option, can anyone help with that?
You have to own/ have acces to Tashas cauldron of Everything via contain sharing enabled in a campaign and the optional classfeatures enabled on thenhomempage of the character builder. Then it will show up in optional class features in the class section.
great, thanks!
I just made a character sheet for a Dark Elf. I gave them a homebrew magic item that removes their Sunlight Sensitivity. Is there a way to remove the "disadvantage" prompt on their character sheet?
Okay so I'm trying to make a character using a Monster of the Multiverse race, which is a book i own, and the only options featured under the Race Source for MPMotM are Fairy and Harengon, which is Witchlight.
Is there a way to fix this?
Which were you trying to use?
Githyanki
That should be sourcing to Mordenkainen's, let me check.
Can you make sure your entitlements are correct at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace
It means they’d receive it automatically, rather than it being one of the choices. (You probably don’t want to do that.)
@thick siren - Apologies for the ping. Maybe by posting the text URL in the character notes. Or like the sidekick/beast companion drop-down in the extras tab - it may be able to load a homebrew creature. I haven’t checked to see though.
Yeah, you can use homebrew creatures in Extras.
is it known if we will be able to get our current books on ddb when the merge happens?
The merge completed on the 7th, and it was a merger of the newer archived server into this one.
oh my bad sorry i saw merge and thought it was referring to dnd beyond resources
i have my answer anyway from research tho
looking for a buyer guide already got the player bundle looking for any books that add necromancer content. or alot more items
Yep, enable the checkbox, delete the text, disable the check box
It trips a lot of people up.
davy you got any recommended books to buy? adds alot of items/gear
already got the player bundle
@neon star that's more of a #dnd-discussion question and not one you need to tag a mod with, the community is very helpful with those types of questions
how do ii give a custom class feature a set number of uses per long rest?
Add an Action. Make sure to give it a Reset Type, then save it and edit it again. You’ll then see the Limited Use section at the bottom of the page.
Can anyone help me out making a lil homebrew sumn?
I'm a little stuck on making an effect trigger on an action rather than adding it passively
DnDBeyond character tools don’t provide effect triggers like that. It doesn’t have a way to track effect durations either. That’s up to the player to manage.
Ah rip
I bought DM an item
Butchers Bib
He got content sharing on but he can't share it with me
why is that?
Is non-core D&D items enabled on the character?
Or I should say non-core D&D content enabled.
Since that particular item is not from a core D&D setting
non core is enabled
Hmmm. And all entitlements are in sync for all the players in the campaign?
yes
Well I’m stumped. Maybe have the campaign owner toggle content sharing on/off.
Nah, it’s the Critical Role Content toggle you need on.
So does anyone know how to change out your Psionic Spells with the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer in DnD Byond?
You’d need to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and change it there.
thanks
My Artificer’s Enhanced Arcane Focus is not adding to her Spell Attack Bonus. I have also tried just adding a Wand of the War Mage snd that doesn’t work either.
Did you equip and attune to it as well?
I did yes!
Strange. It works on my sheet just fine. 🤔
Can you share a link to your character?
😐 I never saw that button. I’m looking for the same kind as other magic items, not in the small window to the right!!!!
Thank you!!
You need to click the item that is infused, either in your inventory or in your infusions view
Click this
Or this
What's up with the updates available on books in the DDB app? Does it mean new eratta?
If there's errata they will post something about it. Usually the mobile app book updates are more about fixing layout issues, links, etc. and nothing to do with the content/rules being changed.
It'll usually just be fixes for layout issues, broken links, etc
The app can't be dynamically updated like the site can
The same way that blood hunters have an A for advantage next to all intelligence checks, how do I do that for wisdom so it shows up on the sheet
Is there a list somewhere that states every {{thing}} for use in text for features and stuff? To be able to reference things like hemocraft DC/Ki save DC/spell save DC. Only one I know so far is {{scalevalue}}
So...does this mean I have to create a separate subclass altogether if a blood hunter subclass feature references Hemocraft DC?
I suppose its possible to simply say Hemocraft DC if it doesn't require the spell tab, yes?
And, lastly, if a feature would reference a use on another feature would regain a use because of X/Y situation, is that usually done using the Actions system or just up to the player?
When making a subclass feature that gives spells (like the sorcerer’s) and you aren’t adding a specific spell (the player can choose the spell from a certain list), the “available at character level” section doesn’t stop the higher level spells from appearing when they shouldn’t be
This is a 1st level character
I think this isn't a bug, but a consequence of how the "domain spell" system is set up? I am not sure though.
Domain spells are added to the subclass in the front page (additional specific spells)
This is a feature that gives access to the spells, where you can limit when they show up individually
Only problem is, it doesn’t work
as an armorer artificer there is no way on ddb to tag a armor as arcane armor right ? , to get the bonuses from 9th level subclass feature
My DM enabled content sharing in a campaign. Would I need to create a character from the campaign page to have access the shared content?
Yes - to be able to used shared content, the character must be part of the campaign where the content sharing is enabled.
Thank you so much!
Probably a silly question, but is there a way to add Feats manually on our character sheets?
oh wait wrong answer
yeah, if you go to the character sheet, scroll down to Features and TRaits, then go all the way down, you can manage feats
Features and traits > Feats > Manage Feats. This will open a side menu where you can add feats outside of normal progression
and add or remove there
Ah found it. Not sure how I missed that. Slipped my mind or probably forgotten
Thanks, all good now.
Can someone explain why it's not snippeting the tool?
it's showing "[tool]Calligrapher's Supplies[/tool]" on the details page
Is that in the snippet field and then displaying on the character sheet? Tooltips dont work on the character sheet
and is that a screenshot of the char sheet or something else. Again, tooltips dont work on character sheets
Links would be more helpful to assist
I think it should be [item]
Yes, changed it to item and it works - there isnt a tool tooltip
Order of the Ghostslayer doesn't seem to add the additional Blood Curse to my list...I'm trying to copy how it was coded, but the actual one doesn't seem to function?
The same way that blood hunters have an A for advantage next to all intelligence checks, how do I do that for wisdom so it shows up on the sheet
as an armorer artificer there is no way on ddb to tag a armor as arcane armor right ? , to get the bonuses from 9th level subclass
i guess not then ?
sadly, DDB doesnt fully support the feature yet.
you can emulate it by overriding the number of allowed infusions
theres a way to do that ?
if you are at your infusion limit, ddb has an override infusion limit button when you try to infuse another item
owh , neat
I have a quick question about using DnD Beyond in Roll20. Do I need to own the content in Roll20 to use the Beyond20 app? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/beyond-20/gnblbpbepfbfmoobegdogkglpbhcjofh?hl=en
Beyond20 is an unofficial extension not made by us. We recommend you not use it if you can as it often breaks multiple parts of the DDB character sheet.
Good to know, thanks for the quick response!
question on behalf of someone else who is not on discord. they printed their character sheet off and the other possessions part of the inventory doesnt print out on the sheets pdf. how do you get it to print
If it doesn’t fit (the pdf generator can only do so much) then they’ll have to manually write down the bits that didn’t convert over in the generation process.
Basically stuff will get clipped and dropped in the pdf generation
Ok thanks ill let them know
Hello I am viewing someone else’s character sheet and am wondering why I can’t see the last 3
Description and Notes are only visible to the player and their DM. I’d assume Extras is disabled because it’s empty.
Ok thx
I wanna get a character I don't have a book for in the campaign I am joining. The race is tabaxi and I don't have the book. Is there anything I can do?
?books
There are five ways to access content on D&D Beyond that you may have in your physical books
- Purchase the full book from the marketplace
- Purchase individual elements from the marketplace (options can be found within the book description)
- Purchase a digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com
- Join a campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
- 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
How do I leave a campaign without deleting my character in it?
Click the Leave Campaign button
Where is the button for that? It might be me being stupid but idk if it's on Web or app
Is that on Web or app version?
Ahh thanks I just got confused since I'm on mobile.
It'll be there on the mobile site, just not the mobile app
Homebrewing something
Is there a way to turn the bludgeoning damage of unarmed strikes into magical bludgeoning? Kinda like with the eldritch claw tattoo
If you make a homebrew copy of that tattoo, you'd be able to look inside see exactly how it was set up.
Thing is, I can't find it to make a copy of it
That's honestly the best way to figure out the homebrew system. 😅
I'm betting in this case it's just in the text description, though.
And yes, I do have the source
You purchased it yourself, or it's being shared with you?
Shared content can only be used within the campaign that's sharing it. (And the homebrew system isn't a part of any campaign.)
Looks like it is just text, though.
It just has two modifiers for the attack and damage bonuses.
I'm getting a 403 forbidden error when trying to read the new OGL news article
Can you try to clear your cache?
It works now!
I can’t use my dice when ever I join a campaign
Can you provide more information about what happens/doesn't happen?
Whenever I join a campaign, My dice disappears
What do you mean disappears? Dice aren't persistently displayed and only appear when rolled
Whenever I join one, I’m unable to use it
Never mind, I figured it out
Sorry for the trouble
Not sure if thats an intended feature or a bug, If you are a 5th level Wizard but did not choose your subclass yet you cannot prepare 3rd level spells.
I hope this helps
Solution: pick a subclass
Well yes, of course that solves the issue.
all class progression assumes you have made the required selections previously
Putting the character sheet in an invalid state will result in things not behaving correctly
why would the character creation step me then continue without picking a subclass? Seems like an easy fix
I'm not sure what you mean by continue? Picking subclass and spells are both part of the same step of character creation; the class step
If not picking a subclass leads to things that are not intended than the easiest fix would be make picking the subclass a required step to continue. I hope I made this now a bit clearer for you to understand where im coming from.
But sometimes the user wants to check other things in the character build flow before picking a subclass.... so I think the way it currently works is appropriate and flexible for users needs with the expectation that the person building the character knows that they need to select a subclass at some point to correctly use the character. But maybe they could put in a warning/alert that the user hasn't selected a subclass? So don't outright prevent the user from continuing but alert them that they are missing a subclass.
Which we do, all incomplete fields are highlighted
That's what I thought... 🙂
Bottom line is that im happy that I did not encounter any unwanted bug or interaction. With that im happy that this is resolved. Thank you for your time.
is it possible to creat non magical homebrew items like weapons?
Not at this time. The devs do know of the desire but currently that functionality does not exist for us end-users.
You can use the front end of the sheet to add custom items. Or even custom actions (which can be marked as attacks) but that’s about it for custom items.
Is it possible for me to flag a published homebrew to be deleted?
My published homebrew creation, to be clear
No, per homebrew rules and guidelines (which you confirm you have read and agree to each time you publish something), published homebrew cannot be unpublished unless it violates site rules.
I see. Most of my problem is that over the years, it gets harder to manage my homebrew collection and creations when I can't edit published ones...
you don't need to publish your homebrew to use it in your campaigns. publishing homebrew should only be done after extensive playtesting so that it is as close to its final form as possible as published content can't be edited or deleted without the possibility of breaking another player's character sheet.
is it just me or is Beyond undergoing something? the site won't load on my end
everything else using the same internet works fine its just when i try to load into DDB it kinda just stops and just... doesn't. endless loading moment
Are you using any Adblockers? These can cause issues with DNDBeyond's normal functionality.
nope, none whatsoever
it was doing okay just about 10 hours ago in the morning too, idk what's happening now. this is using Chrome on a Tablet btw
It’s working fine on my end.
it is now loading fine. but there was definitely something there for a minute.
If you happen to be in North America, potentially winter storms are impacting your internet traffic to a regional CDN server
i am not. but thanks for the thought
Is there a way to make one feature use two different scalevalues in homebrew? As far as I can understand, scalevalue only works on one value on a specific feature
I don't believe so - can you think of an official rule in D&D that does that?
If it's in an official character option, then I'd look at how that was constructed.
Good point.
Basically, an aura needs to grow at x level, whilst its damage also increases one die size every 4 levels
In general, DnDBeyond only supports what the official rules support. And even then there are some recent rule additions that DnDBeyond still doesn't fully support (although I know the devs are working towards full support).
Alright.
However, know some thing similar to the example?
Or could this be done completely in the "Actions" tab?
Uh... honestly I'd maybe use a feat with 5 different levels or something like that? Unless it's a custom attack option.
So then as they level up, you can hand them the next level of the feat.
Well, it's supposed to be a core subclass feature.
Okay but mechanically what you're doing is not, as far as I can tell, possible inside DnDBeyond.
You may get close to it creating a custom feat - but have 5 versions for each 4 levels of the subclass (you did mention it gets bigger and causes more damage every 4 levels).
So at the right time, you give the appropriate leveled feat to the character with that class.
Alright, hm...I'll see what I can do
You might also want to check in in #homebrew and see if others have ideas on how to tackle this.
What’s the actual text description for this feature?
Alright, got it. Let me type it in
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the secrets of the light that the Eldritch Stars give off, being partially transfigured by its insight but gaining the mastery to wield it against your enemies. When a Crimson Rite is active, you gain the additional benefits:
- You emanate bright light out to 5 ft. You can choose to suppress this light as a bonus action.
- You and allies within the radius have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
- When a hostile creature enters the radius for the first time in a turn or ends its turn there, it must make an Intelligence saving throw against your Hemocraft DC, taking {{scalevalue}} force damage on a failure, no damage on a success. Aberrations have disadvantage on this saving throw.
At 15th level, the area of bright light you emanate becomes 10 ft.
Basically, it has the scalevalue of Crimson Rite, and the additional scaling of the increase in aura size
What’s the current scale value?
I.E. what did this say before you replaced it with {{scalevalue}}?
I’m trying to see if this can be replaced with another formula, without using scale value.
To do that, I need the original rules text.
Well, that's it, really. I typed it in DDB first thing to try and get the experience to use it right
So the original rules text doesn’t say when the die size increases?
Yes. The level the scale values are set on are 3/5/11/17
Ruleswise, it consults the Crimson Rite table, but since I typed it into DDB firsthand, I used the integration instead of writing in the consult text
It does have an action associated with it, for easy access of rolling of damage, which uses the same level overrides, iirc
Try this instead of the current {{scalevalue}}:
<b>1d{{2+2*(1+(classlevel+1)/6)@rounddown}}</b>
Then you can use {{scalevalue}} for the range instead.
if i purchase the “player handbook (feat bundle)” for $3.99, will i get all 41 feats? and not have to purchase all the feats separately?
If that's the price showing, then yes.
This should work for the right scaling of level and die size?
It will provide all the feats available in the players handbook - not necessarily all feats available in D&D 5th Edition.
Greetings all
is this is the correct place to ask about creating homebrew magic weapons in D&DBeyond?
It’s about getting help if things aren’t working as expected mostly.
ok ill give it a shot, I am trying to create a Dagger that is +2 to Hit, and +4 Damage with a base Damage Die of 1D8, I cannot seem to find a way to make a 1d8 dagger, am I missing something obvious?
Use longsword/rapier as the base item but label it and describe it as a dagger. Also give it the light and thrown properties.
This is unfortunately a limitation of the DnDBeyond tools
Ahhh! Excellent Idea! Thank you!
There is always another way, limitations are made to be overcome 8)
how do i make a dagger +2 to hit but +4 damage?
Iirc magic items still have the actions tab? So you could input a custom weapon action there.
Thank you Roxo, although i found it easier to modify the to hit and damage values within the characters inventory. It will serve for now.
Hey Gang!
Is it possible to "customise the origin" of a homebrewed Race?
For example, I've added a race to my homebrew collection, but want to swap Perception Proficiency for Medicine, is there an easy way to do this (preferably without the icon turning blue)
Create a second version of that homebrewed race with the other option enabled?
unfortunately i'm not the creator of the original homebrew
If a homebrew creator wants to support those rules, they need to add it into the homebrew itself.
The Belt of Fire Giant belt doesn’t seem to be changing the character’s AC to 25 on attunement. I’ve changed it manually for the time being, but I figured I’d bring it up.
It raises strenght, not AC to 25^^
And I tried it on one of my characters and it changes strenght accordingly on attunement.
I recently used it on a character in a game and had the same experience as Anoth.. added the equipment to my character, clicked the box to wear it, then below in the attunement section to attune to it and Strength score became 25. 🙂
Wow. I’ve been playing D&D and using DDB for years and you’d think I would know how to differentiate the STR and AC. Brain fart moment. Thanks @peak igloo and @dawn violet!
Happens to the best of us! ^^
My wife's account is having an issue with her account - It's active on Master Tier Subscription but the characters are locked as though she doesn't have any active subscriptions.
She's already sent a support ticket for this
I'm afraid there isn't anything we'd be able to do here, you'll have to wait for the support team to get back to you. Obviously with the holidays, there may be increased wait times
How do I manage an artificer armorer's 9th level 2 free armor infusions?
It says I can only attune 4 things, but I should have an option for 2 more attunements for my armor.
I just can't find where
When you click on the next infusion, there’s an option at the top to Override Infusion Limit.
not infusion limit, attunement
i have the infusions selected, its not adding them to my sheet though
Armor Modifications does not increase your attunement limit.
Example, i have 8 infusions known, I can put helm of awareness on my helmet, but i can't attune to it to get the benefits of advantage initiative because im already attuned to the cloak of protection i made, and my other infusions
it says my armor can bear 2 infusions
each of the armor peices can bear an infusion, and they don't count against my existing ones
But it also says they count as separate items.
ah
smooth brain moment, my bad
I can still only attune to 4 things, infusions =/= attunement
Yep
my bad g
thanks for the help
Is there a way to link beyond and roll20 together?
I heard someone mention it, figured I'd ask properly
DDB has no official integration with Roll20.
Is there a way to manage the spell storing item you get as an artificer? Like, adding a spell to it I mean?
(This is my first time using beyond for an artificer, sorry about the dumb questions)
No, there is no easy way to denote which spell you have in the spell storing item, since it changes every long rest.
If the characters are showing as 0/unlimited then the subscription is active. Just need to activate the characters, which the account owner does from the Characters page. This issues occurs when the account owner is accessing their characters page at the exact same time as the subscription renewal - whilst the renewal processes, they dont have a sub, and thus the characters get locked.
hi does anyone Homebrew in dndbeyond? i need help
so im homebrewing arcane trickster because im broke.
and arcane trickster has access to wizard spells right? for some reason even tho i added a spell list, the spell option feature seen in the character builder doesn't appear
thing is, it worked just fine before? and idk why it's not appearing now
i have "can cast spells" option to "yes" in the homebrew builder
i honestly have no idea what i did wrong
???
the spells thing doesn't show up and idfk what im doing wrong?
Did you also give them a class feature called “Spellcasting”?
i did
mage hand works tho, its just that i cant see the spell column and stuff
instead, it gave me like options to choose spells for some reasons
This is what the official version has:
Maybe the class list doesn’t get copied, though. I can’t see anywhere else the spells are set. 🤔
can i see? :00
does it have a class feature or smth?
It has a class feature called Spellcasting, but that just has a snippet and description.
wha
I’d suggest changing “Spell Prepare Type” to “-“, and “Knows All Spells” to “No”.
So it matches the official one.
Then you might need to wait 15 minutes or so before the character sheet picks up the changes.
does it show a spell column in the official one?
ah
What do you mean by “spell column”?
The spellcasting feature has a table in the description, if that’s what you’re asking.
You made the changes suggested here? ☝🏻
yep
Like I said, it might take a few minutes for those changes to show up on the character sheet.
ah
I’d wait a little longer still. 🤞🏻
im not a patient person but i guess
Homebrew gets cached on the character sheets so things load faster during gameplay, where patience is at a premium,
The downside is that when you’re homebrewing outside of gameplay, then it takes a little longer while you wait for the cache to expire.
I honestly don’t know when or exactly how the timing works out.
The best I can suggest is to try changing something obvious like a name or description.
Once you see that on the sheet, you can be sure you’ve got the latest changes.
(As an aside, I know you said money was tight, but did you know you can buy the subclass by itself instead of the whole book?)
how much is that?
$1.99
And whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.
it still doesnt work
lh wait @uneven lantern , i hope you don't mind the ping but what're the other class features listed in arcane trickster?
I don’t think they’d make a difference for spellcasting, but it’s all the official features for an Arcane Trickster.
bruhh
why won't the homebrew work :'))
it worked just fine yesterday
what happenedd
Spellcasting
Mage Hand Legerdemain
Magical Ambush
Versatile Trickster
Spell Thief
???
i cant see mage hand nor the spell column
it worked yesterday, i saw the spell column and everything idk why its not working rn
i even did the same things
is this a bug??
i figured it out
apparently you're supposed to name the spellcasting feature as "Spellcasting"
i spelled it as Spell Casting
im gonna bury my head in sand for a bit
Aha!
Yeah, to add spellcasting to a subclass, the system looks for a feature called “Spellcasting” or “Pact Magic”. Name’s gotta be exact.
ah

Anyone else not able to see rolls in the Game Log without refreshing the page?
Just tested and currently there appears to be no issues. What immediately comes to mind—
-Do you have hardware acceleration turned on in your browser settings? I know it can sometimes affect dice rolling, though I can't currently recall it being connected to game log issues(it's still good to check though)
-Check the strength of your internet connection.
If you're still having issues, let me know and I'll ask around other members of the team who may be more knowledgable on this particular thing.
It's not just me, my whole group that's playing right now is having the exact same issue
Here's what it looks like initially
post refresh:
New roll:
Alright, looking into it
Thanks!
The impacted character looks to have an invalid name (special characters like the / can cause issues). If the character Tamuj/Wander has their name changed to remove the /, does the results populate right away?
It's not just his character
And also, this wasn't an issue when we played 2 weeks ago, and no one's name has changed
BTW, I did try turning off hardware acceleration on my browser, and it didn't change anything
It generally is an issue with the naming of characters - without the URL to the impacted character we cant help further. When you have issues like this, please provide the URL of the character sheet.
But it's not just one character affected... Everyone in the campaign, including the DM is unable to see the new rolls.
And, like I said, this wasn't a problem 2 weeks ago, and no one's name has changed
the url for my character sheet is https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/75239685
and apparently, others couldn't see my rolls either
Okay, testing shows it isnt the issue that I provided details on - the name issue is for when the roll just never comes through. I've raised with the team to see if there is something going on, but as it is the holiday period, I cant provide any updates for now
has anything changed in regard to sub one of the people in my camapain is not see the book im sharing
Nothing has changed, no
how do i check my sub
also the websit logged me out again when clickin the my subcribtion page again
the player is trying to look at the wild beyond the witchbook any reason he is not seeing it or does the campain share only do char options
My suggestion would be to try clearing cache and cookies and then having everyone involved check their entitlements are in sync on that page.
not sure if ithey did that but it working now
hey all
so im trying to add the Ruinblade item
and it doesn't seem to be able to find it. I have the non-core button toggled on
I have the module on D&D beyond as well. Items however are not appearing .. any clue?
Did you purchase that module yourself, or is it being shared with you through a campaign?
it is being shared.. i was told i could add it
the DM was able to add other items as well
Is your character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?
yup
If you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace
Yes, it says it is in sync
as a side note I have one build outside of the campaign and the items from other modules seem to appear.. sorry just trying to help give as much input here as i can if it is useful
Is it possible to restrict available race choices in a D&D Beyond campaign?
Only by telling your players what is allowed/not allowed.
Currently there is no settings to limit it.
Good morning, I asked in #dnd-rules and was refered here. I am a bit confused with building a character. Is a brass dragonborn, I tried both the PHB and the Fizban versions. At first I had (supposedly) the Dragon Hide Feat on my char, but after simulating leveling and alike that vanished. I tried making a new char and the 10**+3+**DexMod AC bonus when unarmored no longer shows up. In the building options I do not find any trace of the racial Feat "Dragon Hide". Am I blind and somehow miss the right checkbox or do I have a bug? (Link: https://ddb.ac/characters/90768672/vY2tON)
Oh, I found it. on the char sheet it says You have no feats chosen, you can add feats outside of normal progression in the manage screen. But it somehow does not show up during creation.
You've selected the Dragon Hide feat, which gives you an AC of 13 + Dex (total of 15 with your +2 Dex)
That AC only applies when not wearing armor, so if you equip armor, your AC may drop
yes, on the character sheet itself, after I saw the option to manualöly add it there after. But during the creation process it was nowhere to find
That's because your character is a level 1 dragonborn fighter; none of which qualify you for a feat automatically
Only variant human and custom lineage automatically get a level 1 feat, and fighters don't get the option for a feat until they get their first ability score improvement
I see... strange, on my 1st try of the level 1 char I automatically had it. Also, after manually adding it to the one copy, it now re-appears on my other char. Seems to be a bug somehow. Thanks, now I know 🙂
so it is a class feat and no race feat (like stated by the rules)
GOT IT!!!! confusing but now all is clear... You need to have the right race, so you can choose it using your class.
Classes get Ability Score Improvements at different levels, and if you're using the feat rule, you can choose a feat instead of an ability score improvement
Yes. The "Racial Feats" term just completely misleaded me. Thx alot 🙂
How do I add a Feat to a homebrew background, similar to how Astral Drifter is set up?
The backgrounds presented in Astral Adventurer's Guide grants you a Feat upon taking the selected Background. While the automation of this feature isn't currently supported, you can manually add the relevant feat from your background via the Features & Traits section in the Character Sheet, then clicking on "Manage Feats". Please reference the .gif below.

whats the code to make rage pop up as a tooltip on homebrew?
There is no tooltip for class/subclass features. You can read the tooltip reference here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips
Why is it when I look at a #750812887697588356 submission form it tells me I'm not authorized to see it? Is their a role I missed?
With the Dyno bot
Are you using the correct Discord account associated with this server/DnDBeyond?
You need to authenticate against Dyno using the correct account.
You should be able to see the submissions right here in Discord. If not, make sure you have embeds enabled in Discord Settings > Text & Images.
That fixed you thank you!
is there a way to give a homebre weapon properties like finess or versatile? if the base weapon doesnt already have them? or change the damage dice and damage type?
Any way to fix Bonus Actions not showing up in the Homebrew Monster stat block?
so. how in the hay do i get rid of Twilight Surge?
oop
tried removing it on Avrae, nope
tried switching off of domain [grave], save, then switch back, nope
Huh. That's weird that it's being connected to the official grave domain even though it's homebrew, I wouldn't think it would show up that way.
Cuz I'd bet that's why it's showing up on your list.
--one way to check. I know you said you swapped off and back, but can you swap off of grave and see if it's still on your list?
And then swap back to grave after, just want to see if it is the domain doing it
funny thing. on her sheet it's disabled
Yeah, that was mentioned earlier on the avrae server where she first asked... That's... really weird that it's doing that.
Okay so another idea: Enable homebrew, change domains, disable homebrew, change back to grave.
Would be really stupid if it works but it's something to try?
Seems like a homebrew spell where some put that subcless in the “Available for Class(es)” field.
Removing it there should solve the issue.
That's exactly what it is. Odd that it shows up even when someone has homebrew turned off though.
I guess we should message the person who made the spell...?
Better to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and it there, if you want to make the spell available for that subclass.
Agreed, but the person who made the spell isn't the person having this problem. Can Beyond staff reject the homebrew being published because of that issue with that feedback? Or is it better for one of us to reach out to them and let them know?
Trying to make a Homebrew Katana, but there are no base katana's to build from, any suggestions on the best method?
The DMG suggests using a longsword for a katana.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dmg/creating-a-campaign#WuxiaWeaponNamesTable
(You could even just add a longsword to your sheet and rename it.)
Thank you spamandtuna, is there a way to change a weapons base damage die?
I’m afraid not, but you could try adding a custom action directly on the character sheet instead.
Go to the Actions tab and hit Manage Custom in the top right corner.
You know I've literally never noticed that before, that would have been useful
Head into the marketplace and open whatever book that subclass is from. You should see the option inside.
(Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.)
Still can't mark a weapon/attack as magical though, that's unfortunate
not understanding how to use a custom action, is it supposed to be an actionable item on my character sheet after creation?
If you want rollable dice, make sure to click “Display as Attack”.
You might also need to set the Activation Type.
I see
hmmm the DM granted me a finessable Katana +2, with Versatility but at 1d10 & 1d12, think im screwed when it comes to D&DB, may just have to leave this one on paper
and ya i know that seems grossly overpowered, but rest assured our DM is not afraid to test us LOL
You can make a fully homebrew item if just the custom action doesn't cover what you need
Mm, I forgot you can only make magic items
Is there anyway to bind discord account into another beyond account ? Like, i lost my beyond account then i create a new one, after that i bind it with my discord account but the web does not let me do it.
no worries, P&P still work for me 8)
Changing Discord link
I just purchased the Amulet of Drunkard to give to a character
but I cannot give it to him
like
it just doesn't show up for him
it's not attunement (this item doesn't even require that) and I cannot see any reason why!!
the weirdest part is, that some of my characters CAN get the item
some of my characters can get it, some cannot
it almost seems at random which can and which cannot
it's not based on when they were created, or race, or class, or level, or anything I could see
Oh - is the character part of a campaign with content sharing enabled?
If not, the character can only access those items the user owns.
neither of these characters are part of a campaign
Is critical roll content enabled for the character?
Sorry - Critical Role content
Make sure it's toggled on
OMG YES
THAT WAS IT
I LOVE YOU
I can’t get the mobile website working on iOS, iPhone 12
The sidebar menu doesn’t let me click through to see classes, I can see the button but it doesn’t do anything
I'm pretty sure I'm logged in, since I can see spells I paid for if I directly type in the URL
Make sure you don't have any extensions interferring and make sure everything is fully updated. Is the iPhone 12 still under support?
iPhone 12 should still fall under Apple support
what's the role i need for posting in #looking-for-players and how do I get it? its not in pick your roles
I used to be able to post there and now I can't
Use the link in the pinned post
does anyone know how to fix dndbeyond not showing custom background features?
there's a drop down for adept of red robes that doesn't have any options in it
I can't seem to create an account?
You will need Google, Apple, or (no longer supported) Twitch account to sign on to DnDBeyond.
Make sure any adblockers are disabled and make sure to allow third-party cookies.
I am trying to help - but I am not DnDbeyond or D&D staff so there's only so much I can do.
are there staff?
There may be but you're asking near a US holiday and staff may not be avilable
oh yeah
Can you try logging in with a different browser? Maybe one without any browser extensions and one you don't use frequently?
Also what browser and OS are you using?
Some browsers may not be fully supported
OS?idk and google chrome
OS = Operating System - like Windows, MacOS or Linux
windows 7
Although the issue is likely with your browser.
Is Chrome up to date?
And can you disable any and all browser extensions.
nope not my pc
Then can you have the owner of the PC disable any browser extensions and make sure Chrome is up to date?
ok sure
Some browser extensions (like ad blockers, VPNs, or Beyond20 can interfere with normal DnDBeyond functionality.
ok man
I got to head out but hopefully this will get you logged in.
thanks
Is there a way to add a custom damage adjustment to a homebrew monster? I am trying to implement a creature from Tome of Beasts (for private use only of course) that has immunity to: bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from weapons that aren’t made of cold iron
There is no way to adjust that field I'm afraid
Alright, thanks. I’ll just give them immunity to all b/p/s and then make an exception for cold iron in their special traits
hello, a player of mine's sheet is behaving very weirdly. the skill bonuses are way too big for his ability scores and proficiencies.
he is level 3, with a +2 proficiency bonus. (the half proficincies and expertises are from being a Bard).
yet these numbers are gigantic for the calculation that should be going on. Slieght of hand for example should only be a +4 because he has Half prof and +3 DEX
i also have the sheet link if it is needed
Can you provide the link to the character sheet?
one moment
They have a custom subclass, so I expect that's the issue
huh, how so?
It likely has been set up incorrectly
ahhh. so its messing up with the numbers?
Most likely
makes sense. thank you!
Is there a way to create/pin a random encounter table for a campaign?
Bookmark it in your browser?
Oh table
I'd still default to bookmarking the page - or creating your own document on Google Docs or something and just use that. The DnDBeyond tools don't have random encounter tables yet as far as I know.
Quick question: if my character has Oathbow, does anyone know how i shut off sworn enemy in dndbeyond, i don't see a toggle for it anywhere i was expecting a toggle like pact blade on the actual weapon
ah right clicking on the damage button and doing a flat roll get's around it but then it doesn't apply my sharpshooter damage. ouf
a lot of equipment dont have a cost or weight whats up with that
There are several reasons an equipment item might not have a cost or weight:
- The cost or weight is negligible. Gemstones have a cost, but no weight given. A pouch of gemstones doesn't weight much more than the pouch itself.
- The cost or weight is EXTREME. An airship is so heavy, you're not going to put it in your backpack. An antimatter rifle is essentially a magic item, worth more than several kingdom's wealth.
- There is no official cost or weight given. The alms box is part of the Priest's Pack, yet does not have any description beyond that.
Is it possible to make sidekicks on beyond based off a monster's stat block?
You can use the homebrew tools and load an existing monster as a template
Neat danke
Ah, hmm. Am I missing how to add sidekick levels to it or is that not a thing?
Is there any way to change your DDB linked account from Twitch to your Google account? and will that lose info from the accounts?
Go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/account
Link your Google account, and unlink your Twitch account.
@gaunt bloom thank you
How do I delete a DDB account from Google so I can link my Twitch account to Google.
We can't provide support on your twitch account
You can't remove a Google account, but you can switch it to another account with the switch linked account option
Won't let me says "This Google account is already associated to another account"
You must have logged into D&D Beyond using that account, creating a second D&D Beyond account. You will need to contact customer service to resolve this
Ok thank you
Is D&D Beyond character creator down for anyone else?
(Sorry, posted in the wrong spot!)
I am in a game I cannot access my character any longer, is there an outage?
yeah.
I'm in the middle of a game that's bad 😦
Upon various refreshes I got a "down for maintenance" page, but it hasn't popped back up. Just gateway time-outs and errors
same here
was about to come and ask about this, so i guess its not just me
The team is aware of the issue and are investigating
My players an I are having error 403 and gateway timeouts
answer before i ask here. nice
Same, character sheets are fubar.
@modest pelican Thank you so much if need us to try or check anything that we can please just say so 🤓
This has happened before. Its an error page for an error page. The maintenance page redirect has failed to show almost as many times as maintenance has occurred.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters Character down. 503 & 504 error.
Yep, the team is actively investigating the issue
Awesome!
Please stay tuned to this channel and/or our twitter for updates
Looks like a port issue -- handshake cannot complete, GET requests timeout. Or that service just isn't running...
gone again
i can see the campaigns now but not characters
They are getting closer one issue is fixed
We are aware of the issue, we will update when we have more news.
huh mine is back but others in my game aren't xD im not refreshing no matter what lol
Just adding, I am also seeing the issue.
D&D Beyond seems to be having issues accessing characters.
I am seeing -
Error 503 first byte timeout
first byte timeout
Error 54113
Details: cache-bur-kbur8200169-BUR 1672612670 3058490721
Varnish cache server
the server died
so that sounds right
Just a suggestion. Since trying to load the page while the server is booting up may cause it to go back down again, can we pause the refreshes until instructed otherwise?
I'm back in!
Ditto
Nice! Thank you!
Me too🙌🏻
@slim anchor Would you say we can try now? where would they let us know its all sorted, i know how delicate errors can be at times 🤓 😁
Since they tweeted about the downtime, I'd recommend watching #dnd-social-feeds for further updates.
sweet thanks 😜
We have unofficial green mode.
can someone explain what this error is? Is it because I copied a spell table and inputted my own spell list into it? I'm unsure what data I've linked to this class besides that.
from what I could tell, most of the forums said to copy a spell table from another subclass, paste it, then fill in your spells
so I'm not sure if its the spell table or not
Any hyperlinks at all could cause that error.
But unless you’re trying to publish it to the global DDB community, you can just ignore those errors and use it as-is.
It gets shared with your campaigns automatically.
Are all the spells in your list exclusively Basic Rules spells, as well?
yes
no homebrew ones
You could try hitting that main save button again, too, to re-trigger the validation.
I did, didn't fix
Can you list the spells?
Bane, Cause Fear
Mind Spike, Ray of Enfeeblement
Enemies Abound, Fear
Phantasmal Killer, Shadow of Moil
Scrying, Synaptic Static
Mind Spike: Xanathar's Guide to Everything (not Basic Rules)
Enemies Abound: Xanathar's Guide to Everything (not Basic Rules)
Shadow of Moil: Xanathar's Guide to Everything (not Basic Rules)
Synaptic Static: Xanathar's Guide to Everything (not Basic Rules)
Change those four to spells from the Basic Rules source and the error should resolve.
Also no need to publish it to the general public if you only need it for your games and it's not ready/tested for general usage
I’m running dnd beyond on chrome my computer and it is using the mobile version of the website, can someone help me get the web version?
Can you share a screenshot?
Yes
It automatically resizes below a certain width. If it's possible to use the browser in a larger window it will resolve it.
Issue is still occuring
List now is: Bane, Wrathful Smite, Blur, Ray of Enfeeblement, Bestow Curse, Fear, Phantasmal Killer, Confusion, Hallow, and Scrying
Right off the bat, Wrathful Smite is PHB, not Basic Rules. If it does not appear in https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/spells then it will not be Basic Rules.
I made a homebrew race for my players in a campaign I am running. I want to update that race, and I created a new version of it, but I want to push that out to my player's character sheets. Is there a way to do that?
as the dm I believe you have the authority to change their race
so I assume you'd change the race on their character sheet to the updated one
I just created a character with a custom background, but the chosen Skill and Tool Proficiencies are not indicated on the character sheet. The chosen options are still present when I view the background in the character editor. Used the web page on Chrome. Has anybody else had this issue? Am I doing something wrong, or is there a server issue at the moment?
Just had a friend take a look - seems custom background is also broken for him. This leads me to conclude that it is a general issue. Where can I check if the dndbeyond-team is aware of this issue? Don't want to ping anybody if the issue is already known 🙂
Can you provide a link to the character?
If you change the options in the builder to something else and then change back it should update. Generally custom backgrounds have caching issues
I have manually added the proficiencies that were missing
I'll revert these changes now, to give you a better example - gimme a sec
... And now the proficiencies granted by the custom background are present. Super strange behaviour 😅
got hit by caching
so, I have been having an issue, aand I don't know it's me. But with using the custom oregin and the class optional features, it's not working for me when I try to select them. Did we get a recent update?
In what way is it not working?
eit's not letting me pick like the traits I want to replace and the features as well.
like I see the features and the traits I want to select to replace, but it's not letting me at all.
is it possible to make a copy of and eddit another persons homebrew?
I’m afraid not.
Can you share a screenshot?
awe man.
And what happens when you try to enable Blessed Strikes there?
(By clicking the checkbox next to the name.)
it's not letting me do it, I try to but it doesn't show up after I click on it. or even hitting space or enter lol.
It doesn’t show up under the Class Features tab when the box is checked?
yeah that's the problem
What level is your cleric?
level 1 but even when I can look at the higher things it doesn't show it
Seems to work fine for me.
Ok, if it works for you and it's not for me, that just mean's it's unaccessible to screen readers and such, thanks, appreciate it.
Is your antivirus (looks like MalwareBytes) doing anything to interfere with normal javascript functionality? Maybe that's why it isn't toggling open for you.
How do I give myself a spell
DM gave me a neat item that adds shield to my spell list but we can't find how to add it on beyond
I would probably use the homebrew system to make a magic item for the shield to give you the spell. Depending on what sources you have access to you could find an existing item that gives a spell to use as a template
it adds the shield spell
oh maybe just make a custom magic item, ok ok i see what you're saying
there should be an option to do that, you can override your infusions idk why you can't do that for spells or attunement too in the even that dm gives you cool stuff
dm gifted me shield spell and an extra attunement slot in exchange for something else but i can't actually attune for the bonuses to appear on beyond
thanks for the help
hello, the rollables is killing me in homebrew monster creation....
if i wanted to make this do necrotic damage instead of cold, would the only thing i need to change be damage type cold to necrotic, or do i also need to change the roll action cold breath to something else?
Cold Breath [rollable](Recharge 5–6);{"diceNotation":"1d6","rollType":"recharge","rollAction":"Cold Breath"}[/rollable]. The worg exhales a blast of freezing wind in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw, taking 18 rollable;{"diceNotation":"4d8","rollType":"damage","rollAction":"Cold Breath","rollDamageType":"cold"}[/rollable] cold damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
and if i wanted to change the name to Rot Breath do i need to change the everywhere it says cold breath to Rot Breath?
rollAction is just the name, so if you want it called “Rot Breath” instead, then yeah, you can change it there.
And yeah, changing the rollDamageType to “necrotic” should do the trick.
ty
You can find more on rollables here:

honestly its just the way its written does my head in. im never sure what actually links to something or whats just flavor text. hopefully its simplified in the future with drop down menus or something
I asked this the other day but don’t think there was a response. With the Oathbow is there a way on ddb to shut off the sworn enemy? I couldn’t find it so it was always rolling the extra damage.
It doesn't normally roll that extra damage at all.
Are you using some browser extension that's changing that?
Not that I know of
When it’s equipped it shows the 3d6 in the item itself. Maybe I added a homebrew of the bow by accident? But rolling hit then rolling damage added the sworn enemy damages in. I could right click and roll damage without it but it would add in my sharpshooter damage that way
In my mind I was kind of expecting a toggle on the item - similar to pact blade
Yeah, that definitely doesn't sound like standard behavior.
What browser are you using?
Chrome. I do have the extension installed but I didn’t expect that to cause an issue
Which "the extension" is that?
Sorry, beyond 20. But I was rolling in chrome on ddb not in the VTT.
Maybe it was affecting it though, trying to duplicate from my phone on ddb or the ddb app but it’s not. Maybe a seeing somewhere was affecting it.
Yeah, Beyond20 is not an official extension.
And anything that intentionally modifies the standard behavior of the site is bound to lead to non-standard behavior.
Yea must be what was causing it. I’ve always had it and used it with ddb so I’m just not aware of what is native site and what is beyond 20. Ty for the help though appreciate it
As a side - could oathbow get a toggle like pact blade gets? 🙂
How can I add another sort of damage to this? My arrows are poisoned and my DM allowed for it to have another 1d6 poison damage

Your friend is using the Beyond20 extension (. the B in the d20 icon) which is not supported by DnDBeyond and can cause issues. Have them disable it and see if things work normally again.
I use the extention too tho
But also DnDBeyond generally doesn’t do a lot of things automatically - it generally just provides indicators just like a paper sheet. The user must do any additional rolls or update HP on their own.
yea but its just wierd I get it and he doesnt, and we both have the beyond20
Then it’s likely a Beyond20 setting/configuration. Check with the Beyond20 developer.
yea probably
disabling Beyond20 didnt help so its something else
Did he disable Beyond20 and refresh the page? sometimes it takes a second to clear. What are you trying to do? get the roll hit die button to go for the bard?

with content sharing enabled, does it share every players' homebrew collection with everyone else in the campaign?
Homebrew in a user's collection will always share with others in a campaign - content sharing isnt required for homebrew to share
that's problematic because as a DM I only allow homebrew that's approved and its not always apparent what is and isn't homebrew, for example a spell showing up in the druid's "known spells" list and I have no idea who has it in their collection, but I never heard of it before and had to look it up to find out its homebrew
You would probably be best having a discussion with the group, to advise them to check their homebrew collections and also ensure they aren't selecting things that aren't from official sources (unless first okay'd by yourself as the DM).
just clicking on it from the character sheet under manage spells doesn't show the source of the spell or have an option to expand on it, it requires opening another window and searching for it manually
It will in the sidebar - you'll see a source field for offical content or a version vield for homebrew
oh it shows Source on official spells, just not this one particular homebrewed one, I see
thanks
Uhm... is that normal?
Feral Might as it is normally vs. What I can choose from for a replacement
Why is the Melee Attacks missing O__O also what should I then choose?
I was wondering how would I add a weapon profeincy to my character I am playing as an astral elf and after every long rest I gain 1 skill proficiency and 1 weapon proficiency of my choice
And I am trying to add a profiency to my boomerang
Boomerang isn't an official item
It just exists in the system to support a magic item
It isn’t? I been using it ooos
Nope, there's a magic item that is a magic boomerang, but there is no official mundane boomerang
At the time that magic item was added to D&D Beyond, the system didn't support hiding mundane items needed as a base for magic items
As such, that item may not be fully supported within the system
I am gonna check with my dm how I should handle this because it’s been used a lot campaign so far
Hello. For future reference, questions like this would be better directed to the #dnd-newcomers channel. This channel is for help utilizing the D&D Beyond website and digital toolset
Ah, sorry!
So. I’m trying to figure how to get the feat that’s granted when you choose a background from spelljammer or any of the newer books. Would I have to go into my characters sheet and do the manage feats tab?
yes manage feats
Hello, I cant acces my subcription perks on DDB. When i click on "my subcribption from "My Account" it asks me to subscribe again...am i doing something wrong?
Are you sure your subscription hasn't lapsed?
Does anyone know if the Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen Deluxe edition comes with a D&D beyond key for the adventure module? I just picked it up and don't see anything for it, but unless I am misunderstanding something, the DDB website implied it does. (Could be purchasing it from them provided the key)
I think you have to purchase the bundle to get the D&D Beyond version.
Alrighty. Thanks 🙂 Figured I misunderstood it.
Only bundles purchased through dndstore.wizards.com include codes for D&D Beyond
I'll keep that in mind for future purchases. Thanks 🙂
Hello, could someone be kind enough to point me to the right direction of how to apply to look for players since I don't have the right to advertise???
There are instructions pinned in that channel alongside its rules.
Thank you
yep, i just bought it 2 days ago
i have everything turned off and it still shows Araluen Ranger is there a reason why?
Custom weapon help: I built a flail and want it to do an extra 1d8 force, added modifier damage - force 1d8, the 1d8 shows up in the notes section of the weapon, but the weapon's clickable roll box for dice is still 1d8+str instead of like 1d8+1d8+str.
How do I get the extra 1d8 to roll with the clickable damage box?
Is the character creator down right now?
I take that as a “yes it’s down ”
^
it works on one of my computers but not the other
Not having any trouble on my end. What exactly is it doing / not doing?
HTTP 500 errors when loading character sheets or character builder, including new and old characters.
GET requests to the https://character-service.dndbeyond.com/character/v5/character/ {id} and https://character-service.dndbeyond.com/character/v5/rule-data consistently after 15s
Below error code for reference: f080e5a0f2b24ce0918e72ad87a91f9d
You can't. Limitations of their code
Darn this amazing free website! But really, thank you for the answer! I'll make a custom action and call it a day then
How would I go about recovering my account from someone who keeps logging in and changing the info. Tried going through support and its just a back and forth at this point. angerey
I would change the linked account information in the first place so that they can no longer get access, and after that only support can help you.
I did that, but unfortunately they were still logged in at the time so before the request to reset everything went through, they changed the recovery email to theirs
We are unable to assist with anything here, you will have to work with support on it.
Any ideas how I can fix this? my sub is new, less than 2 weeks ago. Also how would I open a support ticket? I can't seem to find it on the site....
I'm getting a 540b50bd551849bb8833171d52360dc7 error code everytime I try to open my character sheet
That code is unique and will change every time you refresh, you should be given a full error code like 500 or 404.
thats all im seeing atm
Can you post a screenshot of your full browser here.
sorry it took so long
If you add /builder/home/basic onto the end of the URL does it take you to the builder?
nope
Then you will need to contact support.
oof ok thank you
I am trying to build a Warlock with INT as the spellcasting ability instead of CHA. Is this possible to do in DDB?
yes, but you'd need to implement it as homebrew, which is a PITA. might be easier to just write your spell save dc and attack bonus in your characters name field
We are using Avrae so I need a digital sheet. I'll try it with a homebrew subclass. If that doesn't work, there's always gsheets. Thanks though.
it would be easier to implement it as a magic item that gives you a bonus to your dc and attack rolls than as a subclass
Did DnDBeyond just crash?
I'm using the site right now and it seems fine
You'll have to provide more information as to what you were doing and what happened?
I was preparing spells for my wizard and it automatically redirected to the Beholder error page, refreshed and now its just this
ah! it seems to have fixed itself
Seems to be working fine my end. Might be a local issue; I recommend clearing your cache and reloading
all good, thanks
Is it possible to change my D&D Beyond account name?
I’m not sure but I think it’s possible on the website. Against, I’m not certain, but it’s worth a shot!
Yes, I've been trying, but can't find the right thing

That's been approved
Have a campaign where I have shared selective resources. However, all my players seem to be able to see races that are not part of the resources I have shared. Am I misunderstanding how Content Management works?
And if so, how would I restrict the players in the campaign to only use certain sources?
Players can access any option they personally have access to or content that is shared in a shared campaign.
That said, even if you deny access to certain books, those character options are still available - only the book text is made not accessible (except to the DM/owner of the material).
Your best option is to discuss what character options are allowed at your game with the players.
Thank you. I hope that a feature will be added in the future, to automatically restrict which races/sources can be used for making characters within a certain campaign.
Yeah the developers are aware of (and would like to eventually implement) more fine-grained controls on content sharing.

I’m trying to remove my “looking for players” because I filled all the spot but I’m having a little trouble
- That'd be a question for #moderator-support, this channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond website, tools and services
- You don't remove full game posts, instead you put a comment in the thread stating the game is full
Oh thank you thank you!
No worries
Hey, I'm having trouble with my characters. I only have 1 option for choosing subclasses, regardless of level, race, or class. I have the phb downloaded, I've downloaded a couple other books with subclasses in them and it hasn't helped, I also have trouble with feats, it only shows the grappler and firearm feat even though I also have some books. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Do you own that book yourself, or is it being shared with you through a campaign?
(Shared character options are only available for characters assigned to the campaign that's sharing them.)
It's being content shared with me, and I've also downloaded them
Then like I said, it will only be available for characters assigned to the campaign that's sharing it.
I understand, thank you
Does someone here know if I can make homebrew stuff without automatically sharing it with my players? I thought removing it from my collection would not show it to them but one of my players said they can still see a feat I made that I removed from my collection.
(for clarification, this player did not add the feat to their sheet, it's just in their options to choose from)
Only content in your collection should be shared within campaigns
Creations are automatically added to your collection, but can be removed without deleting them
is there any way to change the modifier used for class features?
You can't modify base class features at this time
IK how to change spellcasting mod but is there any way to have bardic scale from wis
There's no way to do that I'm afraid
"at this time" uh huh sure buddy
?
Currently you can't do that, but that might change in the future
I did remove it, but maybe it needs some time to update for my player.
Thanks for your help
Ah yeah, caching can take a little time
Legacy questions - I bought a whole lot of books over the black friday sale. Including Volos and Mordenkins. I also bought monster of the multiverse. However, when I'm trying to access some of the awesome speciality gnolls and orcs from Volos, it keeps taking me to the legacy page
Can I buy JUST the magic items from TYP on Beyond?
but it says if I own it, i should have access
but its not letting me see the creatutres and keeps pointing me to the MotM page
which I also own
How do I access the special monsters that are only in Volos or Mordenkins?
you go to the legacy portion
I don't seem to be able to see them individually when I go to the book on the Marketplace
go to sources then click on view all sources
@left prawn Black Friday 2022?
yup
Those books were delisted earlier in the year and thus wouldn't have been available for purchase during the Black Friday sale this year
As such, you won't have access to them.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news
but it says I own them?
and they were in my cart, granted leftover from last years cart that I never pulled the trigger on
Hmm, that might be what's causing the issue.
I would recommend putting in a customer support ticket
10-4 appreciate it
Ok, weirdly Google can find the marketplace page for one of the adventures in Tales of the Yawning Portal, but I can't figure out how to navigate to it through the site. Not sure if they have delisted the individual adventure pages for that book on the Marketplace

i need help with a moderator for some reason when i went to sign into dndbeyond today it said it didnt recognise my google account or that i didnt have a dndbeyond account assosicated with it. I recently changed my subscription type and i have receipts i do have the account and now need access to my original account and not this new account it made for me
both apparently are associated with my google account and i have a wizards account too that can confirm this
Is anyone else interested in drafting up a list of "promised features that don't exist/work" on d&d beyond?
Some examples include Divine Soul, Armorer Artificer infusions, Tasha's Sorcerers, etc.
I'm compiling a list from the Bugs and Support page but would love to hear from the community.
The main purpose of this is to challenge the refund policy under Australian Consumer Laws, but it may be beneficial for general gamers to know ahead what they are paying for.
Thanks ahead!
This is something that you’ll need to submit a support ticket for
Hello, How do I create a custom feat and have it display relevant information under features & traits
this is what I have so far, and I have tried to add stuff via actions and spells and it doesn't show anything
Like under the fey teleporation it has a blurb, and neither the description or snippet boxes in the feat details do anything to change that
is there some sort of lag between the homebrew being changed and then it being updated on the charater sheet?
There is caching (to reduce server load and improve stability) that means there is a lag between changes being made and them appearing, yeah
that seems like it should be advertised somewhere because i was tearing my hair out for about 45 minutes before I realized there was something lagging
anyways, so I got a sort of thing to work, I’m wondering if there is some sort of comprehensive documentation or tutorial out there that explains what displays what where
So a newby question. I'm creating a homebrew background in ddb and in the equipment I want to add quantities to the equipment description. I know how to add a "Bottle Glass", but how do I indicate that you get 3 of them for example?
In short: the Snippet is what displays directly on the character sheet. It’s often used for an abbreviated version of the rule.
If you click on that snippet on your character sheet, the Description is what pops up in the sidebar. It’s typically the full, unaltered rules text.
The Description is also what you’ll see if viewing the homebrew directly (outside of the character sheet).
For unofficial equipment, I think the best you can do it to include the quantity in the text description.
So you’d pick “A Custom Value” and write “3 bottle glass” or similar.
This is a question for DnDBeyond: I'm making a homebrew subclass that would allow for the character to take Eldritch Invocations at certain levels. I'm not sure as to how I can go about that though on DnDBeyond. Is there a way to allow a homebrew subclass to select Eldritch Invocations?
I have it figured out! It's a little tedious, but I'm able to put in each invocation as a potential option individually as opposed to there being a "select an Eldritch Invocation" thingy
Is there a nice way to make a feat that would effectively give expertise with a specific weapon type in the dndbeyond homebrew system?
I doubt it, since there’s no official rule that provides expertise with a weapon.
Okay! thank you, i wasn't sure if i just couldn't figure it out, or if it wasn't a feature. So the easiest way would likely to make a weapon that scales with proficiency?

is there a way to have a portable hole, or other "containers" as just, items in my inventory. I don't want them to be containers on the sheet.
You can make a custom item versions? However the container state isn't toggleable
I want to delete my homebrew from DDB before WotC steals it, any idea how?
Per they homebrew rules and guidelines, published homebrew cannot be deleted/unpublished
This has been the case ever since homebrew was made possible on D&D Beyond
Oh yay.
Well, at least it was just a small homebrew for a rogue subclass based on using scrolls. I think it's got like 7 faves in four years.
You can find the homebrew rules and guidelines here https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines
They're also linked on the confirmation dialogue that appears every time you publish an item
Makes sense they'd cover their bases. Thanks for the tip. Now i'm gonna go sleep before the snark gets to me.
You cant buy the books in spanish ?
Not from D&D Beyond, no
u.u thank you
is there a way to make a character with 5e rules instead of oned&d rules?
