[neon anchor]

question, how do i handle the infusions on the "Armor Modifications" feature from armorer artificer

[uneven lantern]

When you go to infuse an item, you’ll see an Override Infusion Limit button at the top of the sidebar.

[neon anchor]

sick

[tough patio]

Is there a way to change things for artificers so it shows what's infused?

[tough patio]

Never mind, found it

[ocean scaffold]

...did DDB just go down for anyone else?

[calm narwhal]

Yes, also please get rid of the minute timer in this channel. That's not helpful for anyone nor is it helpful for troubleshooting

[ocean scaffold]

Error 503 first byte timeout

[modest pelican]

I've been informed that there is some planned maintenance being performed and will cause some downtime. It will hopefully be completed quickly

[proud hemlock]

back up...for now

[jovial jetty]

If I create a character within a campaign, and later leave the campaign, do I still have full access to my character, even thought I might not have all source material on my account?

[modest pelican]

You will have access to anything to anything that you've added to your character sheet. The one exception is shared content added by another option

For example, if you use a subclass that grants you access to a spell (such as Fathomless Warlock giving you Evards black tentacles), because you didn't directly add Evards black tentacles, that will be removed from your sheet. However, the Fathomless subclass will remain

[jovial jetty]

Hm. Ok.

[balmy remnant]

ok was redirected here i need help

i want to share my resources with my friends, but for some reason, they can't see what i share, despite being in the campaign

like, for some reason, they can only see the homebrew feats i had

[lone void]

Have you enabled content sharing for that campaign?

[balmy remnant]

wait

uh how do i do that?

i am master rank for reference

[lone void]

Go to "My Campaigns", click "View Campaign" on the one you want and there should be a big "Enable Content Sharing" button if it is not enabled.
Or if it is enabled then, you should see "Disable Content Sharing" and "Content Management" as buttons

[balmy remnant]

ugh

just gotta see if they can see the content...

[balmy remnant]

welp

i'm gonna go drown myself in alchohol. this was just dumb of me

[lone void]

Don't worry, it happens to the best of us

[edgy pasture]

What dose these options mean for the app for dnd beyond, Save books on external storage?

Dose this implies if the mobile device have a micro SD card in the tablet, it will store the data on to the card then using main storage of the tablet?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! That’s exactly what it means.

[stark notch]

You've done nothing to deserve such a punishment. We've all made a folly.

[dusky temple]

Any idea how to get battle ready to show up for a weapon? Its only showing weapons with their dex modifier not the int modifier even though its an infused weapon that should be magical, same happens with a +1 hand crossbow

+3 from dex +2 from prof bonus 1 from repeating shot

Should be +8 due to using +5 from int.
Bug?

[edgy oriole]

I'm not really sure but you may be able to work around it by creating a custom attack on your sheet to represent your infused weapon accurately.

[dusky temple]

It doesn't work with a normal +1 crossbow either

they don't list as magic type

[rustic sonnet]

May i ask which is a good way to start making my own character? Because i want to see which options in customization i could have to put all my personaility on it

[dusky temple]

Pretty sure this is BUG

[edgy oriole]

This channel is for getting technical support with DnDbeyond tools and services. If you're new to D&D I suggest checking out #dnd-newcomers and check the pinned message there. If you want feedback on character ideas we have #character-discussion. As for tools to create a character, I prefer DnDBeyond but there's always pencil and paper.

[rustic sonnet]

Thanks

[edgy oriole]

If you can clearly replicate it, you can report it on the DnDBeyond forums: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support
Double check that the bug hasn't already been reported before creating a new post.

[dusky temple]

It seems it might be capping things at +6

[sonic hazel]

I might have asked this before, but can the Returning Weapon Infusion be made applicable to the Boomerang? I tried making a custom Boomerang, but that's not applicable for Artificer infusions seemingly, since it's already a magic item in that case. If I posted this in the wrong channel, I am sorry.

[forest scarab]

Hi there, I’m pretty new to dnd as a whole, was just wondering if people play campaigns through messaging? Ik its dumb question but I’m not really open to VC and just want to know so I can look for irl players if not

[uneven lantern]

There are definitely text-only games out there. The folks in #dnd-newcomers can point you in the right direction.

(This channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond specifically.)

[forest scarab]

oh shoot sorry

[dusky temple]

Any idea how to change what eldritch cannon is listed on the sheet? Currently only has rolls for the flamethrower

[viscid dagger]

hello, uhm i cant see the button of content sharing in campaign

[uneven lantern]

Click on them, open the Customize menu in the sidebar, and click “Display as Attack”.

Protector cannon isn’t displayed by default because it isn’t technically an attack.

Force Ballista isn’t displayed by default because of a technical limitation.

You’ll need to subtract your INT mod in the Damage Bonus field to correctly calculate the damage. (It incorrectly adds the INT mod without that.)

[uneven lantern]

Do you have a Master Tier subscription?

Have you already enabled it in five other campaigns?

[viscid dagger]

master tier yes, 5 campaigns yes.. oh so the max is 5 campaigns i see

[uneven lantern]

Yep

[uneven lantern]

If someone else activates Content Sharing for a campaign you’re in, though, your stuff will still be shared as well.

[solemn bobcat]

I have an question if i buy an digitale version of the player guide book in dnd beyond do i get more. Subclasses options and more feats?

[modest pelican]

Yes, you get all the options listed in the marketplace page for the Player's Handbook

[solemn bobcat]

Ah thanks

[modest pelican]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

You get
10 backgrounds
28 subclasses
41 feats
2 subraces
57 spells

[solemn bobcat]

I was thinking of buying that since I use dnd beyond quite alot now since I also do dnd online with my irl friend and his friends

[balmy remnant]

thanks...

[solemn bobcat]

Thanks for the info

And wich other books for new races and spells and classes and feats and backgrounds woud you also recommend Dayvd for dnd beyond

[ebon crown]

Volo's book, but it's not there anymore lol

[craggy grotto]

Hey I was wondering how long it usually takes to get a reply to a submitted request on ddb. I got a confirmation email that my ticket was received on the 4th of March. And have not received any communication since.

[cloud blaze]

Question, I created a character for someone on this discord and I sent them the link to it. Is there a way they can import my character to their account??

[uneven lantern]

That’s more of a question for #dnd-discussion, but they’ll probably say:

• Xanathar’s Guide to Everything
• Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything
• Monsters of the Multiverse

[solemn bobcat]

Alright

Ty

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered in the order they’re received. The exact wait time depends on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

I don’t know what the current expected wait is, though.

[uneven lantern]

Add that character to campaign, then on the campaign page, you’ll see an option to Unassign them.

Then send your friend the campaign’s invite link (also found on the campaign page) and they’ll be able to select that character.

[cloud blaze]

Yeah. This part I have already done. So if I delete the campaign, will the person still have access to the character. Do note, they have already claimed that character.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, once it’s claimed, that character now belongs to their account.

Deleting the campaign won’t change that.

[rustic sonnet]

hello i have a problem with feats,i had another feat that i cannot remembe rbut when i change dit to fire arms specialist, icannot change it back

[rustic sonnet]

@limber temple sorry for the ping but i need help with this

[uneven lantern]

Please don’t ping random people.

What happens when you try to change it back, specifically?

[rustic sonnet]

there were 2 options

when i chose firearms specialist,i couldn't change it bakc to the old trait

can't*

[modest pelican]

@rustic sonnet Were you by any chance having the feat shared with you within a campaign that you have since left/content sharing has been turned off/the person sharing the content left? If you remove a shared game option from your character sheet, you will not be able to re-add it if sharing is not available

[rustic sonnet]

Oh it might be...

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, shared character options are available only for characters assigned to the campaign that’s sharing them.

[rustic sonnet]

oh ok

thanks for the help

[oak forum]

hey my friend needs his account seems to be a bit corrupted he cant see certan things as well as he cant open his subscription. this is how it looks for him

[shadow hemlock]

What is wotcs opinions on content sharing? Although it's a feature did they intend for f2p people being able to make character by joining a campaign of a content sharer, making their character and leaving?

[modest pelican]

The sites terms of service can be found here: https://company.wizards.com/en/legal/terms which covers content sharing

[uneven lantern]

Seems like a bad download somewhere. If so, clearing cache and cookies ought to fix it.

[tame zephyr]

Heya Folks, I need a little help trying to figure out how to properly implement a magic item in dnd beyond for a player in my campaign anyone got a moment to help?

[royal anchor]

I can't access my character sheet and can't edit it... Did i lose all my saved information?

[edgy oriole]

Have you tried clearing your browser cache/cookies and restarting your browser?

[royal anchor]

Tried that and on multiple devices

Its working on ipad now but still not on desktop

Will keep at it

[edgy oriole]

Any browser extensions? Try disabling those and seeing if that helps.

[uneven lantern]

Where are you stuck, exactly?

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to access it, exactly?

[royal anchor]

@uneven lantern I sorted it on the iPad using safari. I’m at my game now I’ll try a little more when I get home. I do have extensions could be that

Thought it was something I added to inventory breaking it but it seems not

[covert sequoia]

I've seen spells that have text blurbs like the ones in the books, how is this done?

[digital wolf]

Could you clarify what sort of blurbs you're talking about, or link to an example?

[covert sequoia]

The ones that have text written from the perspective of the spell's creator.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/264873-fizzlewixs-chromatic-dart, for example (not mine).

[acoustic kite]

So a LOT of the buttons on the site don't work for me in multiple browsers

[edgy oriole]

Are you using any browser extensions? Have you tried disabling them and trying the site?

[acoustic kite]

Yeah adblocker etc, will try that

Does it work better on the app?

i can put it on my phone

[edgy oriole]

Yeah disable anything like that for DnDBeyond - it uses a lot of 3rd party services which may rely on stuff that is often flagged or used in ad networks.

The app works well but doesn't have full feature parity as the website (although it has a lot!)

But the mobile app has the ability to function without internet/data access.

[acoustic kite]

ooh I may have hit disable tracking...I guess it is like NOPE I will track you compeer ahaa

[past nacelle]

xrfcvgvbncgfj I know this an all too common question, but I can't see the linkin looking for bot, so how do you look for dms in looking for dms channel(just send link pls)

[tame zephyr]

I’m trying to implement this item in dndbeyond. "Surge" or Sent's Resonant Gauntlets - Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a monk) These soft leather gauntlets are interwoven with wires of copper and precious metal, and you feel a strange hum of energy as you don them. While wearing these gauntlets, your unarmed strike deals an extra 1d4 lightning damage on a successful hit, and you gain resistance to lightning damage. Additionally, when you are subjected to lightning damage, you can use your reaction to channel the energy through the gauntlets. When you do so, the damage you take is reduced by 1d10 + your Wisdom modifier + your monk level. If you reduce the damage to zero, you can wield the energy for your own attack. You can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged spell attack with the lightning energy you caught, as part of the same reaction. You make the attack with proficiency, the attack inflicts lightning damage equal to your unarmed strike damage die + your Wisdom modifier, and it has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.

Where I’m having trouble is getting the attributes to push through the system as well as the reaction ability.

Here’s what I have so far:

And here’s it not showing the damage modifier on the characters sheet

[uneven lantern]

“Damage - Lightning” will add it to the magic item’s damage.

Honestly, I think lightning resistance is the only part you’ll be able to do on the item itself.

The rest you might have more luck adding as custom actions directly on the character sheet.

Head to the Actions tab on your sheet and hit “Manage Custom” to get started.

[sage mango]

is there any way of hiding players' character sheets from one another

I have a player who is a warlock but thinks and acts like he's a cleric. he doesn't want the other players to see that he's actually a warlock. I mean.. they'll figure out something funky is going on when he's casting spells like "sacred flame" with an attack roll and "embrace of kelemvor" (arms of hadar), but it'd be nice for it to be hidden for at least a little while

[modest pelican]

He can remove his character from the campaign?

Or just ask the other players not to look at his sheet

[sage mango]

if he removes his character from the campaign he can't roll in the campaign. I can ask other players not to look at his sheet, but it's on the campaign page too. But the answer is: no, there's no way of making that info private

[modest pelican]

There's no way to hide base information such as class

[atomic fjord]

Im really new to dnd and am dm in a campaign with my brother snd cousin who are also pretty new, i was wondering, if i buy sourcebooks on dnd beyond, can they use the content in the sourcebook since we are in the same campaign and im dm or would they both need to buy them aswell

[modest pelican]

You or someone in your campaign would need the master tier subscription in order to enable content sharing. It can't be done for free

[atomic fjord]

Ok ty

[tame zephyr]

@uneven lantern thanks I’ll give that a shot

[sage mango]

How do you hand out artwork treasure in ddb? the gemstones are there, but I don't see art objects to add to inventory. do you just use custom items?

[modest pelican]

Yep

The gemstones were added to support other features on the character sheet

[sage mango]

ok, thanks

[dusky temple]

Yeah gems exist properly now and can for example, be infused to create a homuculus servant

[covert sequoia]

I've seen spells that have text blurbs like the ones in the books, how is this done?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide an example?

[covert sequoia]

The ones that have text written from the perspective of the spell's creator.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/264873-fizzlewixs-chromatic-dart, for example (not mine).

[modest pelican]

You can copy a spell as a template when homebrewing and see how the text box is set up

That however is a homebrew spell, so you won't be able to copy that

[covert sequoia]

Thanks! I asked earlier, but no one responded.

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest adding those as a custom item. Click Manage Inventory, then open the Add Custom Item section in the sidebar.

You can give it any name, price, and description you like.

Is there any way for me to be a hex blade warlock without buying the book?

[loud sedge]

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

There are five 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. Purchase a digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com
4. Join a campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
5. 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

[sharp ember]

So basically I gotta pay for everything that's stupid

[modest pelican]

There's options 4 and 5 that don't require you to buy content on D&D Beyond

But generally speaking if you want access to things that cost money you need to pay for them

Or someone does at least when it comes to content sharing

[upbeat hare]

how do i join a campaign here

Check out #find-a-game for instructions.

[vagrant moat]

When homebrewing a subclass for Druid, below the description it asks for a spell casting ability. Do I put wisdom?

[uneven lantern]

I think you can just leave that blank.

But you can always make a homebrew copy of Circle of the Land if you want to see how that was set up.

Is there any update on a permanent solution/resolution to the 403 error?

And definitely not at that frequency.

[little plume]

To be fair I haven't even bothered to try since Sunday. Just frustrates me as a subscriber not able to access things I've paid for. I've started migrating all my stuff to other providers since WotC can't seem to keep a great thing up and running like it's original founders.

[olive cairn]

can someone help, with my spells?
i know two of my spells have a +6, but whats the +3 modifer? just a plus three to all my spells?

or is the +3 just for eldritch blast?

If you’re a warlock, that’s your Charisma modifier, which is used to calculate your spell attack modifier and spell save DC.

Depends what you mean by “run online campaigns”. What are you looking for, exactly?

I’m not sure how to explain, like a group of 5-6 people and 1 dm and the dm like. Types the story out, or uses vc, and the character sheets and rolls and fights are on screen

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond doesn't have any chat or voice support, nor map sharing. The app does let you share rolls however

I need help making it so that you can pick two options for a racial feature for my homebrew race.

[proven python]

How would I be able to put me and my friends discord server in #looking-for-community

[edgy oriole]

Check out #find-a-game - it has instructions on how to use our #looking-for channels.

[uneven lantern]

Inside your racial feature, you should see a section for Options.

Just add each choice as a separate Option, then inside, give it whatever it needs to make that work on the character sheet.

[potent meteor]

I don’t know if this is the right place for this but if I get the master subscription will players in the campaign be able to use sourcebooks shared to build characters

[dawn egret]

if you turn on campaign sharing, and they are building the character within that campaign, yes

[pearl pivot]

Is DDB having any issues with loading currently? Not sure if it’s the DDB connection or my crummy internet

[left hemlock]

yeah but I need to be so that in the character creator, you can pick two of the options

[sage mango]

I assume you have the agonizing blast invocation, which adds your charisma modifier to Eldritch Blast. No other spell will have an attack modifier added

[shell maple]

any way too delete ddb acc?

You can contact customer support and request an account deletion

[shell maple]

where is the contact window?

[edgy oriole]

https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=6858238817684

Use that form to create a ticket, select D&D Beyond Account Deletion, fill it out and submit. Tickets are answered in the order they are received and may take several days to be answered/fulfilled.

[uneven lantern]

Ah! Look in the racial feature for a field called “Character Levels Where Options Known”. Putting 1,1 there would give them two choices at level 1.

[hearty yacht]

So I was looking at playing some D&D here. (By here I mean on this server) And the DM says we would play on the DDB Voice chat. I CAN'T FIND IT, BRO! ):

[sonic night]

If I want to make a homebrew weapon and change the damage die, is there a way to do that? Like for example making a magic rapier that deals 1d10 instead of 1d8.

[edgy oriole]

No. Each magical weapon is tied to a "base" weapon. So you can't just change the damage type like that.
But you could take a weapon with the damage die you want to use, and then just rename it to reflect the weapon type you actually mean but keep the damage die.

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-newcomers

This channel is for getting help with the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services

Oh shoot

You could also create it as a custom action directly on the character sheet. Head to the Actions tab and hit “Manage Custom” to get started.

[dusky temple]

so I'm seeing the option in extras to actually add a battlesmith defender, but not sure why it has the option to pick creatures:

What do I need to do to have a proper defender listed with correct stats?

[modest pelican]

It's not in extras, it's in your class features

[dusky temple]

odd that its listed here too then, would homunculus be here though?

[modest pelican]

This is so it can accurately adjust its information in response to your character levelling, which creatures can't do in the extras section

[dusky temple]

ah, though I see it has no option to actually do its attack rolls unlike what a investment of the chain familiar can do

huh that option is missing from the familiar now too...

nvm

[silver roost]

I don't know if anyone from DDB reads this, but please put back the "Articles" tab in the top drop downs bar. I should not need to have a saved link just to find that section, which I use often to see if there is something new (or if you know where they moved it, let me know).

[modest pelican]

If there's something new, it'll be on the front page of the site

That's where there nine most recent articles will be displayed

You can also scroll down to the "See All Posts" button at the bottom of the home page

[silver roost]

I leave DDB open most of the time, so I don't "land" there often, but I see why they would do that. And now I know where to click. Thanks again.

Heya, I am having issues with my recent homebrew monsters not showing up in the encounter builder. This forum page (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/167791-homebrew-monster-not-showing-up-in-encounter ) covers the issue that others have experienced like me and as they say, there’s like a time cut off point of when new homebrew can be found. About a day or two ago now for me

Please can someone let me know if there any temporarily solution known to work around this bug? I tried things like making sure there were no filters, closing and reopening the page, and also doubled checked the monsters were set up properly

[swift bane]

I'm having that same issue as mentioned above where I can't use newly made homebrew creatures in the encounter builder, it was working just fine a few days ago.

How do I put in the numbers for the thrown property of a weapon?

How do you add a familiar in DDB?

[agile bolt]

To add a familiar for a character, go to the ‘extra’ tab for a character. There, click on ‘manage extras’ where you can choose a category that includes a familiar : )

Important to note is that this feature can only be edited on the website. The app can view an already selected familiar in the extra tab, but only the website can do the editing for this feature. I hope this helps

I've homebrewed quite a few monsters for my campaign. So far, I had no problem with putting them into an encounter. For some reason, some now won't appear in the encounter creator. I didn't do anything different than before, they are available in my homebrew collection.
What's wrong?

[blazing scroll]

Hi there 🙂

Im trying to create a comedic subclass for my wizard, and failing utterly😕

It keeps saying its too similar to School of Evocation, and that I do not have the necessary level requirements, but it does not give specifics

I made a spell but I'd love to try getting it up, just so the others can see it through my sheet

Anyone wanna help a lovely girl walk through it?

Im subbed to the service on the app

[digital wolf]

I'd suggest asking in #homebrew - the community can probably help you figure out how to fix it to be published.
(That said, note that you don't need to publish the subclass publicly if it's just for personal use)

[wispy jetty]

Having the same problem as eyeflash. Used to be able to build and load homebrew monsters into the encounter tracker on beyond. Now it won't let me. Anyone know why?

[olive cairn]

Where do I name my hex weapon? And can I do it on my phone?

[stuck cosmos]

Hey, question, is there anyway, on dnd beyond, to make a weapon deal more damage on a failed saving throw

[uneven lantern]

Not automatically with the digital dice, no.

[uneven lantern]

You can do it in a mobile browser, but not in the mobile app. Just click on the weapon, then open the Customize section in the sidebar.

@wispy jetty @mellow loom @cold trellis I’ve asked the devs behind-the-scenes. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

[wispy jetty]

Thank you

[agile bolt]

Pls can you let me know too spamandtuna, I also have the same issue : ) thanks!

[lean nymph]

I homebrewed two new creatures this week. The one I homebrewed today doesn't show up in the encounter creator but the one I homebrewed six days ago does. Two older creatures I removed from my homebrew collection months ago but added back in today also don't show up in the encounter creator. None of these creatures are shared with the community.

[uneven lantern]

That’s been passed along to the devs already. 👍🏻

[jaunty perch]

How exaclty does the Content Sharing function work?

My DM has it on but when I open my sheet and edit it none of it is there

[uneven lantern]

Is your character assigned to that campaign?

Shared character options are only available for characters assigned to the campaign that’s sharing them.

[jaunty perch]

Ah yea I didn't connect it, wild

Thank you

[halcyon comet]

Is there a way to make the snippet code for a save DC Strength OR Dexterity?

[uneven lantern]

max(strengthSave, dexteritySave)

[halcyon comet]

This is inbetween two "{{" ?

[uneven lantern]

Depends on where and how you’re using, but possibly, yes.

[halcyon comet]

So it would be: "Your DC is {{max(savedc:str, savedc:dex)}} "?

Or, "The target makes a DC {{max(savedc:str, savedc:dex)}} Saving Throw"

[uneven lantern]

Oh man. I thought we were in a different channel. Sorry! 😂

Try Your DC is {{savedc:str,dex}} instead.

(The other answer was for Avrae snippets, which work differently.)

[silent dagger]

How can i add something similar to reliable talent to a subclass

[hoary ivy]

more specifically can I use that bot on my discord server or how do I use it

[lapis geyser]

I'm afraid i dont understand what you're trying to do?

[hoary ivy]

so i have a discord server where people post games DM LFG, P LFG etc

that bot is very handy didnt know if i could use it

[lapis geyser]

You'd need to look up the Dyno bot itself for information on settingit up in your own server

[uneven lantern]

Devs pushed a fix earlier today. Are you able to see your existing homebrew monsters? What about brand new ones?
@wispy jetty @mellow loom @cold trellis @agile bolt @lean nymph

[mellow loom]

Hmm nope. I signed out of ddb, restarted my pc, signed back in and still can't see the monsters I created yesterday. Older ones, yes, no problem.

[analog wasp]

Is there a way to connect real life books to the app to be able to read them there?

[uneven lantern]

What if you create a monster now? Does that one show up?

[mellow loom]

Yes! I was also able to copy my homebrewed monster from yesterday. Thanks!

[cold trellis]

Mine does appear to be working now. Please accept my thanks and extend it to the devs. Have a great day!

[uneven lantern]

Thank you both! I'll pass that info back to the devs.

[wispy jetty]

I can see all my Hombrewed Monsters in "My Collection" , even published a few, but the ones I made yesterday are still not showing in the Ecnounter Builder. Ones I made a week ago are...?????

[uneven lantern]

They’re running a process now that should hopefully pull in this weekend’s monsters.

[wispy jetty]

Thanks, I check in later today...please pass to the Devs I appreciate them working the issue

[agile bolt]

Thanks spamandtuna. I’m like eyeflash and desert law, my ones created in recent days aren’t there yet but one I just created is now there! Thanks very much to u and the developers, I’ll keep an eye on the encounter builder for when the other creations get synced up :))

[lean nymph]

Yes, I can see the new one and the old ones I added back to My Collection. Thanks!

[tall ocean]

Am I going crazy or do the races added in Mordekainens just simply get better ASIs with no way to change that? With an otherwise identical character the character creator gives me ASIs of either +2 or +1 +1 for, say, a human, but either +2 +1 or +1 +1 +1 for a Hobgoblin or whatever. And I can't find an option to change that anywhere one way or the other.

[little plume]

Monsters of the Multiverse?

[tall ocean]

yup

[uneven lantern]

+2/+1 is basically the standard pre-MOTM.

Humans are a notable exception.

The primary change is that the stats are no longer assigned to specific abilities.

[tall ocean]

Same thing for halflings and dwarves though

When I pick a race from MOTM it tells me it uses the optional rules from Tashas Cauldron, but doesn't actually make them optional.

So literally if I make a PC with an MOTM race i get one more ability score every single ASI...

There's got to be something I'm missing there, right?

I'm talking about the ASI you get from class levels btw. not the one at lvl 1

[uneven lantern]

With the exception of Mountain Dwarf (which is +2/+2), all the dwarf races are +2/+1 as well.

MOTM doesn’t change your class ASI’s.

Again, all it really changes in most cases is that you can choose what abilities your racial increase is assigned to.

[tall ocean]

Literally, if I create a 4th level character, so I get the first ASI, if it's a race not from MOTM I only get the option to do +1 +1. If it's a race from MOTM I get to pick between +2 +1 or +1 +1 +1.

Like that's the only thing I'm changing.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot?

[tall ocean]

Sure, one moment!

the one on the right is with Hobgoblin

it offers me the choice to pick my ASI

the one on the left is with hilldwarf in this case

The option doesn't even show up

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s only from your race.

Your class ASI’s will be selected on the Class tab.

MOTM doesn’t change anything about your class.

[sacred wharf]

If you look at your race for the MotM race you’ll see there’s no ASI listed, as it’s been moved to ability score section

[tall ocean]

Ok, but if those new rules are from Tasha's, and are optional like it says, then why can't I choose whether to use them. On Hobgoblin I have to use them, on the hilldwarf I'm not allowed to?

[sacred wharf]

Because it’s not an optional rule in MotM races

[uneven lantern]

You are allowed to, but since it’s an optional feature, you need to opt in.

On the Home tab, turn on Customize Your Origin.

Then on the Race tab, click Optional Feature Manager and turn on whatever optional features you want.

[sacred wharf]

Has the bug with not being able to make a homebrew copy of Moon sorcerer been fixed yet?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue. I don’t believe it’s been fixed yet.

[tall ocean]

Oooooh

Wow that's tricky to find. Like really hard. But thanks! I would've never found that on my own. I tried turning on custom background thinking htat would do something...

Thanks! 🙂

[sacred wharf]

I know its known, just checking if it’s fixed. Thx bruv

[uneven lantern]

Pretty easy to find out. Let’s check. 😅

Aaaand it actually did let me create one!

Are you still getting an error?

[wispy jetty]

Everything is working now, Thank You Developers and thank you spamandtuna

[zealous dagger]

Is there a way to create a custom action that has only 2 charges per long rest?

And is there a way to mark advantage on certain skills?

[uneven lantern]

Not directly from the character sheet. You’d need to use the homebrew system for both of those.

[zealous dagger]

But I can't add homebrew content to the character sheets can I?

[uneven lantern]

Why not?

As long as it’s in your My Homebrew Collection and you’ve got Homebrew Content enabled for that character, it should show up right alongside the official content.

[zealous dagger]

Oh, let me check that out

That would solve a lot of "problems"

Well, not my problems, my players problems 😛

Well, I didn't have it enabled, you're amazing

[zealous dagger]

Sorry to keep bothering you, I'm pretty new to creating custom weapons... How would I add a 2d4 slashing damage and 2d4 necrotic damage to the weapon? I've got them set up as modifiers now but that doesn't seem to come back when adding it to the character

[uneven lantern]

Sometimes homebrew edits can take a few minutes to show up on the character sheet.

[zealous dagger]

Alright, alright, do I need to re-add the weapon once I make a change, or would that automatically happen?

[uneven lantern]

But you could select another weapon (like a Flame Tongue) when you create your homebrew, then you can see exactly how the official ones are set up.

[uneven lantern]

It should happen automatically.

[zealous dagger]

So in case of the Flame Tongue Scimitar, would there be a way to overwrite the 1d6+4?

Or is all that copied from the scimitar and unchangeable?

[serene plaza]

when i try to sign in with my wizards of the coast account it just takes me to a site called myaccounts.wizards.com where it says

"Log In with your Wizards Account
Admin client for backend services will receive access to:

Your email address"

and when i click on authorize it just takes me back to dndbeyond without being logged in. I dont know what to do, can anyone help?

[zealous dagger]

Also, if there are docs somewhere I should read before asking here feel free to tell me.. I just missed them in that case

[modest pelican]

Do you have third party cookies enabled? Another potential cause could be ad blockers, VPNs, or other extensions that interfere with how data is transmitted within your web browser. Some can prevent the data from the wizards page from being transmitted to, and verified by, D&D Beyond

[serene plaza]

i dont block third party cookies, i have adblocker but it worked before but ill have a look if a vpn is on in the background

[modest pelican]

Your ad blocker may have received a definitions update (or other update) that would be affecting things now

This often happens

[serene plaza]

ill try disabling it

[serene plaza]

it still doesnt work

[modest pelican]

Have you tried a different browser or possibly a different internet connection (say your phones mobile data if you have access to that)?

Sometimes either your browser or ISP can interfere

[serene plaza]

still doesnt work

[modest pelican]

You've tested both those options?

[serene plaza]

not a different internet connection since i cant do that

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not. The only way to change the base weapon damage is by changing the weapon.

[serene plaza]

can i dm you a pic of the authorization thing?

idk if it would help but

[modest pelican]

It wouldn't I'm afraid

[serene plaza]

i have no idea what the problem could be

[modest pelican]

Let me just try something my end, give me two moments

[serene plaza]

go for it

im logged in on myaccounts.wizards.com but not dndbeyond

[modest pelican]

Okay, I think I might have figured it out

You're probably entering the wrong Wizards account information (one that isn't linked to your DDB account)

If you do that, you won't get any messaging telling you that you've used an unlinked Wizards account, you'll just be bounced back to the homepage

[serene plaza]

but i got reciepts on my gmail from ddb and that gmail is the one i use to log in to my wizards acc

[modest pelican]

(this is obviously not correct and I'll raise that with the team)

[modest pelican]

Can you try using the google option to log in with that email?

[serene plaza]

i have but it says i dont have an acc with that gmail

ima check exactly what it says

"We couldn't find a D&D Beyond account associated with that Google account."

[modest pelican]

Lemme start a thread, two moments

[zealous dagger]

Is there a way to get more information about how exactly the content builder works?

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, the best way to figure it out is to find something official that works the way you want. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it, peek inside, and steal its secrets. 🤫

[zealous dagger]

Aii, that's what I was doing but maybe I should start easier than what I wanted to make now

Can't expect myself to build Rome in one day I guess

[uneven lantern]

Another handy trick is to use the Magic Items page. In the advanced filters, you can use the Effect Type and Effect Subtype fields to find items that use a particular Modifier. It's a good way to try and figure out a modifier's intended use.

how do i stop following a channel on my server

anyone???

the tweets are disrupting my channel

[gaunt bloom]

Go to the settings of the channel they're posting to, then Integrations > Channels Followed

[undone oxide]

okay

[ashen panther]

is the charcter sheets down again ?

[little plume]

Yeah, showing down for me

I can't get to my campaigns either

[ashen panther]

this system is so bloody flakey

[naive cypress]

is the character sheets down we are in the middle of a game

[ashen panther]

looks that way yes

[uneven lantern]

Working on my end, at least.

But three people at once probably isn't a coincidence. Let me poke the devs.

[ashen panther]

tbh @uneven lantern feels less like poking and more like beating thse days twice in the last month with the same problem ?it was the sloe reason i joined this discrod was this problem a while back

[harsh linden]

cant sign into playdnd.com

[modest pelican]

Do you have a D&D Beyond account already?

And what happens when you attempt to sign in?

If you have a valid account, clicking 'Sign In' will redirect you to https://www.dndbeyond.com/

[slate goblet]

not sure if this is the place to bring this up, but i am having trouble with adding the spells to my homebrew subclass as i have only been able to publish it without it adding the spells it is ment for you to get access to, anyone know a fix? keeps giving me "This Subclass cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass.
Remember, private homebrew is automatically shared with other users in your campaigns and does not need to be shared with the community for players to access." am i just adding it in the wrong place or can you literally not publish a subclass and have it automatically add you the spells you are ment to get from it if someone likes it and wants to use it and is not part of a campaign with you?

[uneven lantern]

Published content can reference only what's available in the Basic Rules.

But those validation errors only apply to published content.

You can add your homebrew spells and use it in your own campaign automatically, without publishing.

[harsh linden]

yeah i have an account with an active sub, takes me back to dndbeyond with me signed in, when going back to playdnd.com or dndberyond.com/playdnd its shows me signed back out

[modest pelican]

That's the normal behaviour

[runic oxide]

How come Monstrous Compendium vol 3 won't show up on my DnDBeyond home book page on the mobile app?

[slate goblet]

ah, that's unfortunate, as someone commented on one of my old ones and that is the issue they expressed, not sure why it has that be the case, if anything i feel it would encourage people to by the content to actually use the spells if they are wanting to use a subclass they are being put in

[modest pelican]

It's still rolling out

[runic oxide]

Oki, thank you

[half oak]

A friend has a DnD Beyond subscription but their credit card was hacked and had to be cancelled. So DnD Beyond locked them out of the subscription features and whenever they try to click "Subscribe" again it shows them a screen that says "Couldn't Collect Payment. You no longer have access to the subscription benefits." and offers a button to cancel their subscription. They have dozens of characters and don't want to lose them, so they don't want to click the Cancel Subscription button. There doesn't seem to be any place in the account settings to change the payment method either. They contacted customer support but we have a session in a few days and we're worried they won't get help by then. Any advice?

This is the screen they get when the click the Subscribe button

[edgy oriole]

That user will need to contact customer support: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=6098987232148

[gaunt bloom]

Also note that your friend won't lose their characters if they unsubscribe. If they choose to unsubscribe from D&D Beyond, they will be prompted to choose 6 characters to remain unlocked. The rest will be locked, but become accessible once more when their subscription resumes.

[mystic rune]

Just wondering, there was recently updates for the phb, dm guide and monster manual in ddb is there anyway to see what was updated?

[modest pelican]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog

[knotty pollen]

Question does the website support is always soo bad at its job? I wanted to buy a book and another books 2 bundles after purchase i got other books 2 bundles and the other book completed and didnt get the first one i wanted after making a ticket about asking them to change the book i have been ignored for 20 days after that i made a second ticket asking for a refund if they are not gonna change so they closed that ticket without even answering is this normal?

[modest pelican]

@knotty pollen the customer service team responds to tickets in the order they're received. It's important to note that submitting additional tickets will move you down the queue

[knotty pollen]

they were 2 different tickets for 2 different outcomes

and how much behind are they if the waiting queue is 20 days?

[modest pelican]

Those tickets would've been grouped and you'd have been moved down the queue to when the second ticket was submitted. I can't give a figure as to exact response times currently

[knotty pollen]

i am sorry but i have waited 20 days to be honest it would be faster at this point to contact paypal and just force my refund then talking with support

[modest pelican]

Sorry I can't provide any more information

[covert sequoia]

I'm making a homebrew spell on DDB, how can I make the target of the spell have their maximum hitpoints increase?

[modest pelican]

You write that in the description

[covert sequoia]

Well I did, but how do I put it in the spell mechanically?

[jolly kernel]

Hello, I am a beginner and I would like to know where I can find feats for a barbarian bear dwarf please? someone to help me?
Is there a site that lists all of this?

[modest pelican]

Spells do not cause effects on character sheets so there's nothing to mechanically set up

[modest pelican]

You want #character-discussion

[jolly kernel]

thank you ! sorry for the wrong channel

[modest pelican]

S'all good

[covert sequoia]

Well that's sad...

[haughty ridge]

Would buying Fizban's affect the draconic bloodline sorcery in any way?

[modest pelican]

No

[haughty ridge]

Hmmm alright.

[scenic grove]

so for the upcoming sale, it says Dragonlance and Golden Vault won't be discounted, seemingly because of how new they are, so does that also apply to the new dice sets? (the gem dice and golden vault dice are the main ones I'm wondering about)

[uneven lantern]

All that’s been announced regarding the sale can be found here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1473-coming-soon-get-up-to-40-off-d-d-essentials-for-a

[delicate fable]

question, if someone is content sharing to me, and i downloaded the books, can i then share the content, or do i have to own it?

[edgy oriole]

If you are in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled, you may access those materials that are shared with you and also share whatever materials you own with everyone inside that campaign. You may not re-share other's owned content. Does that answer your question?

[tough patio]

Is it a bug if proficiencies don't show up from custom backgrounds?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue, but they’ll show up shortly.

[tough patio]

Just takes time?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

[quick drift]

question, i bought the essentials kit today(physical) and wanted to also make it work in my dnd beyond account. but i can't find the redemption code for the digital anywhere in the box.

anyone who knows where it is in the box maybe i just missed it?

[modest pelican]

I believe that the in-box code for redemption was discontinued some time ago I'm afraid

[quick drift]

well that's unfortunate. so i have to purchase the digital one too?

[modest pelican]

If you want to access the content on D&D Beyond, correct

[quick drift]

i wanted the HD version of the maps tho

it's included in the digital version right?

[modest pelican]

Yep, player and DM versions

[quick drift]

how about the bundles? do they come with the digital versions?

oh wait lol not that i can afford them lol

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond only sells digital versions, so that's all our bundles include

[quick drift]

oh well, thanks man

[tough patio]

How much time?

[modest pelican]

There is no specific timeline, it's however long it takes for various caches to clear and reload I'm afraid

[tough patio]

Damn, I'll have to write it down somewhere so I can remember what his perception and other proficiencies are

[uneven lantern]

If you click in the Proficiencies & Languages box on your character sheet, you can add whatever you like.

[ruby light]

Hello everyone! I want to make a Tiefling character, class Sorcerer. When choosing Sorcerous Origin, only Draconic Bloodline is available. There are other variants of origin in the player's book. I can't figure out what the problem is.

[halcyon plover]

have you bought the player handbook dragonic sorcerer is the free subclass

[violet vortex]

Not anything urgent, I was just curious. I saw a Rick & Morty monster in the monster page that had a little green symbol beside it. What does that symbol mean?

[thorn sandal]

It identifies it as a Rick and Morty monster specifically(there are a few in there that originate from other sources).

[opal spade]

When using the Homebrew feature for a Subclass.

Is there a way to add the option for proficiency selection. Say, I want my subclass to give the ability to select two from 'this list'

Or does it only allow for the ability to 'give' a single proficiency in the homebrew builder?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Inside your class feature is a section for Options. Just set up each choice as its own Option, and inside it, add a Modifier to grant that proficiency.

[opal spade]

So will that give me all of the options or let me select a number of them?

[uneven lantern]

You define your own Options.

[opal spade]

Where do I make the definition.

( Can I post a screen shot of where I am now? )

[uneven lantern]

Go for it

Just to clarify: are you asking how to control the number of Options a player can choose?

[opal spade]

Yes.

[uneven lantern]

Cool

[uneven lantern]

Inside the class feature is a field called Class Levels Where Options Known.

[opal spade]

Basically, as pictured. I don't think I can force the Saving Throw part apart from manually doing it on the sheet.

[uneven lantern]

If you put something like 3,3,10, that would give them two choices at level 3 and one more at level 10.

[uneven lantern]

That would give them a single choice at level 1.

(Which I believe is the default behavior anyway.)

But yeah, I don’t think there’s a way to remove existing save proficiencies.

That’ll have to be done manually on the character sheet itself.

[opal spade]

That part I'm okay with.

If I was to add additional options at the 'Class Feature Options' area would that give additional choices?

[uneven lantern]

No. Add all the available choices under Options, then use Class Levels Where Options Known to control how many they can pick and at what levels.

You should have nine Options in total.

[opal spade]

All the options would be at level 1. But it;s select 2 or the 9.

[uneven lantern]

Oh, right!

So change Class Levels Where Options Known to 1,1 instead.

[opal spade]

Okay. I'll give that a shot.

[echo lantern]

Hello, anyone use the Encounter Builder in DDB?

I thought there was a way to hide creatures in the encounter so that all npcs wouldn't all be revealed at the beginning of a fight.
Am I misremembering?

[opal spade]

Question. In the homebrew section is there a way to remove proficiency in a Saving Throw or Replace one?

( I can put instructions on the sheet to manually do it of course, just wondering if there's a way to automate it )

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[uneven lantern]

There currently is no player view of the encounters, so there’s never been tools to control what players see.

But if you’re screen sharing it with them or something, you could start with the known monsters. Then save and edit the encounter to add the “hidden” monsters once they’re revealed.

[echo lantern]

Ok. Thank you!

[opal spade]

#1 - How it looks on the builder.

#2 - How initial Homebrew looked.

#3 - Next part.

#4 Class Feature Options - how inside that looks.

#5 - Inside that.

My question is. Why doesn't it let me select the proficiency of the artisan tool in the build and just comes up with that drop down?

[uneven lantern]

Each choice you want in the dropdown there needs to be set up as its own separate Option.

In this case, it looks like you probably don’t want to use Optipns at all.

Just replace that with a single Modifier on the class feature itself.

Same for the other one. If the only Modifier you need is “Proficiency — Choose a Gaming Set”, just put it on the class feature itself.

[opal spade]

Attached is the change recommended.

When I go to select it in the builder - that's what shows up.

Previous when it was a class feature inside a class feature it would at least give me the option to select Warmage artisan tools. Now it adds nothing.

(Okay. I got it working. Now I'm having issues with spell selection.)

[flat ridge]

How do I DM someone?

[modest pelican]

This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services. it's not for providing help on playing the game, for that you want #dm-discussion

hoq long does it take for support to reply?

Tickets are responded to in the order they are received and the volume of tickets at any given time can affect reply times. It's important to note that you should not enter multiple tickets as your position in the queue is determined by your most recently submitted ticket

i need help understanding the fighter improved critical on dnd beyond am i supposed to just remember i have it because normally when i roll a nat 20 the damage roll has a blue outline but it doesnt do it when i roll a 19 or soft 20 like the improved critical info tells me it would

Yeah, the dice don’t automatically account for it yet. You can right click or long press on the damage to manually roll critical damage.

[rigid crag]

thats a cool feature thx mate now i dont have to roll multiple times manually

[twin granite]

Is there a reason why the discounts aren't available on the dnd beyond app?

[modest pelican]

It's due to how app purchases work compared to how the sites store functions

[twin granite]

That's not saying a lot.

[modest pelican]

They work in different ways and the latter allows sale pricing and the former does not

[twin granite]

Well if it's a google side issue I guess there is nothing to be done about that.

[modest pelican]

Google/Apple

We have both android and iOS apps

[uneven lantern]

Basically, updating prices in any mobile store is a big hassle for any app. 😅

Which is why you see a lot of apps where you buy "coins" or whatnot and then redeem those in the app -- just so they don't have to deal with the app store.

Regardless, anything you buy on the website (on sale or not) will also be available in the app.

[main python]

The app just perpetually loads for me, websites fine but the app just won't work

Greetings o/ i have a bit of a problem with a homebrew item creation. I want to add a spell that is castable from a ring but there is only limited options available. for example a homebrew spell or a spell like Wither and Bloom wont work. anyone got similar problems?

[uneven lantern]

In what way do those spells not work, exactly?

[dreamy horizon]

this is where i want to add them

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased that spell? There should be a checkmark next to it here if you did.

And are the homebrew spells in your My Homebrew Collection?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection

[dreamy horizon]

okay i can add wither and bloom now ^^' but the homebrew spell still doesnt work

[uneven lantern]

Even though they're in your My Homebrew Collection?

(Not just in My Homebrew Creations -- they have to be in the Collection.)

Assistance Required - Homebrew

So I'm trying to add a spell list, gain 4 cantrips at level 1 (That works, done through the Class Feature "Extra Cantrips" and inside that I've added under the "Spells" tab to add 4 additional spells.

My issue comes that inside the "Extra Cantrips" Class Feature I've added class levels when known 3,5,9,13,17,20 - ticked 'Has Options' and then added (6) 'Class Feature Options' - They each have Required Level matching the numbers above and inside those have spells added to each 'Cantrip & Wizard' list - which when I select the drop down on the character builder just shows up with nothing?

[uneven lantern]

What’s the text description for this feature?

If you’re only giving them one possible “choice” at each level, that’s not a choice at all, and you probably don’t want to use Options.

Does it properly show your subscription on this page?

I'm sure there are other snippet codes out there. For example, ones that would bold your text, or one with <em> for spells for some reason. These aren't covered in the link above.

[uneven lantern]

The thread doesn’t list those because they’re not technically “snippet code”.

That’s just regular HTML.

They just happen to also work in a snippet.

I’m not sure there’s a documented list anywhere, though. Surely it doesn’t support all HTML.

yeah, ive been experimenting a bit and some works, some doesnt

[vagrant moat]

On my character sheet, I took Magic initiate to get Eldritch Blast, and I’m 6th level, but on the character sheet it says eldritch blast does 1d10 damage, when Eldritch Blast’s damage increases to 2d10 at 5th level. Is this an error?

[uneven lantern]

It’s the number of beams that increases based on your level. Each beam does 1d10 damage regardless.

The spell creates more than one beam when you reach higher levels: two beams at 5th level, three beams at 11th level, and four beams at 17th level.

How do I share books with other players (I’m thinking of getting tasha’:s cauldron of everything and wondering how I can share it with my family)

[uneven lantern]

If someone in your campaign has a Master Tier subscription, they can enable Content Sharing for your campaign. Then any game content purchased by anyone in the campaign gets shared with everyone else.

So they’d be able to read the book and use any shared character options for characters in that campaign.

[rare eagle]

Ok thanks

What happens to a ddb campaign if the DM (me) leaves?

is someone else assigned to be DM randomly or is the campaign deleted?

[uneven lantern]

Neither

Players can choose to leave the campaign if they wish.

If someone else wants to take over as DM, they can create a campaign and invite those players.

[unkempt tree]

Ok but what happens if the dm leaves the campaign 😭

[edgy oriole]

The DnDBeyond campaign doesn't go away unless the DM deletes it if that's what you're asking.

[unkempt tree]

can i even leave the campaign as a dm

[edgy oriole]

No because the DM owns the campaign

Hey guys, I was looking at switching some class spells on Sorcerer Clockwork, the ones that add to your list. It says you can switch the spells with the new spell must be an abjuration or a transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list. How do I make this happen on DDB, for example to remove Protection from Good and Evil and add something else

[dawn egret]

make a homebrew copy of the class and go swap out for the spell you want.

make it so you can add and subtrac from itself on the sheet

[modest pelican]

The character sheet doesn't support that kind of behaviour

[craggy grotto]

also i accidently published a mistake, how do i delete a published homebrew monster?

[lapis geyser]

you can't delete it once published

[edgy oriole]

Once published it can not be deleted as other folks may use your homebrew and deleting it could mess up their games.

What you could do is publish an updated version with your correction using the version field to indicate the latest.

[neon moss]

is there a way to add additional things that count as monk weapons when making a homebrew subclass?

[sonic night]

When homebrewing a spell, there are 3 options for scaling. “Character Level,” “Spell Level,” and “Spell Scale.” The first two are very straightforward but what is “Spell Scale”?

[neon moss]

That has effects at each increment of levels, such as inflict wounds, which does an additional 1d10 every level

Hi guys. I got a physical copy of the essentials kit and i want to have it on d&d beyond to but do i have to buy i there again or is there a redeem code i am missing maby?

[edgy oriole]

Unless you bought one of the hybrid bundles from Wizards of the Coast's webstore, there are no ways to get a license to digital content from a physical book purchase.
That said you can use the homebrew tools to create the things you need (just don't publish it - it'll still be usable for your personal use without publishing).

[dreamy hedge]

oh lmao, even though its £2 im broke paha

[rough knoll]

oke thank you very much

[sonic night]

Is that not what “Spell Level” does, increase scaling based on the spell’s level?

This isn’t the option to determine the spell’s level, it’s the option to determine the type of scaling the spell uses.

How do I fix this as the account it’s linked to no longer exists

[naive lodge]

You will need to contact customer support.

Ok im up to Racial Trait i need help doing that

[sonic night]

@torn haven to answer your questio, the homebrew race creator’s Racial Traits Introduction text box is just where you write whatever you want the title of your race’s racial trait section to be, typically just “(Insert Race Name Here) Traits” For example for Tiefling the Racial Traits Introduction text box is just filled in with simply “Tiefling Traits”

You’ll have to ask its creators, then. Above VTT is 100% unofficial.

[mental flume]

Morning everyone, I'm creating a few homebrews for players in an upcoming campaign and it's my first real time dealing with DND Beyond's homebrew feature. One of the actions I want to implement has an attack that uses proficiency for the attack roll, but has a flat dice for damage with no modifiers. (eg: +6 to hit, 1d8 for damage).

Currently it looks like the modifier is automatically applied to both. Is there any way to remove a damage modifier from an attack action?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask about homebrew!

[cold trellis]

Your instincts about location are correct: try #homebrew. You’re just more likely to get a faster response there, as this is more for tech problems.

[mental flume]

Oof, sorry

[uneven lantern]

At the moment, it can’t be removed in the homebrew, but you can manually remove it on the character sheet itself.

Just click on the attack, then open the Customize menu in the sidebar.

Although… that should only apply to the ability score, not the proficiency bonus. 🤔

Proficiency bonus should already add to the attack roll only.

[mental flume]

My mistake, I referred to the ability score adding to both, not proficiency as well (I'm not that kind to my players :D)

Yeah, I'll amend in Customization, I think that's the best bet. Ty!

[dark crag]

Anybody knows if I buy the digital kindle version of a sourcebook, it'll come with a code for Beyond?

[shy owl]

the players handbook, DM Guide, Monster Manual, Mordenkainen, Tash's Caldron and Xanathar's guide

i purcchased the digital/physical copies on Beyond

[uneven lantern]

You can already do that.

Click on your currency first. At the top of the sidebar, you’ll see a Settings option. Click that, then turn on “Put Coins in Containers”.

You can then add separate coin counts to any container you’ve got already, or you can add a new one (like a pouch) to your inventory to get started.

seems like an odd exclusion
okie tho

to expand on my issue
I would like to make a custom description for a Musket in my inventory, but there's no way to do that in the editor

and it needs to be able to hold an Infusion

[modest pelican]

For that you want to select the item and select customise

There's an option to add notes

[whole raptor]

is notes the description?

[modest pelican]

notes is notes

it's the closest thing to a description field

[whole raptor]

:/
this website is annoying sometimes

is there a way to add custom actions associated with a magic item?

as in attacks?

[modest pelican]

Magic items cannot add actions, no

[whole raptor]

:/
this whole item system is just odd

it's really weird that custom actions can be created, but they can't be associated with items

[whole raptor]

Purchase any of the following options:

• Artillerist
• Battle Smith
  Purchasing the subclass will also unlock the base class

[modest pelican]

That'd be Eberron: Rising from the Last War

trying to figure out what button I press when I attack with this longsword? I'm using it with one hand and a shield and I have the dueling fighting style

[gaunt bloom]

The +5 is your attack (to hit) modifier. Click that to make an attack roll. For damage, click 1d8+5, because you're using it one-handed.

[formal dagger]

is the 1d10+3 for two handed then?

Yes. A Longsword has the versatile property which lets you wield one-handed or two-handed

[gritty kayak]

nope

they have never had a sub to DDB. They were able to access their character sheet by going through the character menu, and not through the campaign page

[uneven lantern]

Can you right-click on that View button, then copy the link and share it here?

I’m betting their username is causing trouble.

[pastel sand]

[modest pelican]

Yes, the limit is 5 campaigns

[pastel sand]

hrmm

[uneven lantern]

If someone else with a subscription enables it for any of those campaigns, your content will still be shared.

[pastel sand]

I presume if I disable content sharing in one I can keep the Campaign itself, correct?

I answered my own question. It worked 🙂

Was not trying to do anything nefarious. I have been a DDB subscriber since day one and just hit the limit by osmosis with the same gaming group. Hehhe

The players in my friend's campaign can all access his content he owns since he has a subscription, yet it doesn't work for 1 of the players.
I can make a character using a race the DM owns but one of the players can't. It doesn't give them any of the options.
Does anyone know why? :(

[uneven lantern]

Is their character assigned to that campaign?

They can also check here to see if their account entitlements are in sync:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

What race are they trying to select?

[tough lava]

Their character is in the campaign, yeah.
They were trying to select the kenku race. I'm able to choose that race for any new characters I make but for some reason they can't

[tough lava]

I'll dee if they can check that!

[whole raptor]

how many characters are there in the campaign?

[tough lava]

There's only 3 I believe

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, kenku wouldn’t be hidden behind a toggle or anything.

[whole raptor]

i've noticed there's sometimes issues with sharing when there are more than 5

[tough lava]

They even tried making a new campaign with only that player and it still didn't allow them to choose any of the DM's unlocked content

[whole raptor]

double check sharing is turned on

[tough lava]

I can't check myself but I'm pretty sure it is turned on

[whole raptor]

are you in the campaign?
cos if you are it should say that content sharing is turned on

[cloud tartan]

Anyone know why a homebrewed feat wouldn't show up in the feats options? I've been reloading the pages for ages and it just wont show up

[final trellis]

Do you have homebrew content enabled on the character sheet?

[cloud tartan]

Yes

It shows up as an unavailable feat cause of the prerequisite of being a fighter gunslinger, but my character is a gunslinger fighter

[final trellis]

Can you link me the character sheet URL and the homebrew feat URL (dont publish the feat)?

[cloud tartan]

lol well.. I got it to work by removing the prerequisites but now when I add the feat its just blank on my character sheet

[final trellis]

It sounds like how you have the feat setup isn't correct

[cloud tartan]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/1293925-space-cowboy feat URL

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/97789260 character sheet URL

[final trellis]

Okay so the blank part in the sheet - that part is what you have in the Snippet - and its currently has no data there. The description is the sidebar, and snipept is what shows on the sheet

[cloud tartan]

Ah!

The snippet thing fixed the blank section!

[final trellis]

the prerequiste - if you had it as class and then the subtype as fighter, that should have required you to have fighter as a class.

[kind inlet]

Hello, how do I post in the LFP?

The instructions say to check the bot spam channel for instructions but it's totally empty lol

[regal sphinx]

anyone else unable to load up ddb right now?

[lime sinew]

Is D&D Beyond down?

[crystal scarab]

Yep

It'll pass, probably

[scenic grove]

yeah, was just about to ask if it was down for anyone else too

[lime sinew]

they want us to buy all our books and store all our chars on it, then can't keep it working?

at least the books can be downloaded to mobile and still work

[lone void]

Web services always have some degree of reliability. Maybe there is a spike in loading because of the public holidays here in Europe

[halcyon plover]

web site seems to be having trouble

getting timeout erros

[modest pelican]

This has been flagged with the team

[halcyon plover]

ok

[green canyon]

Same, just got a 503 first byte error when trying to view a character sheet.

[proper vault]

Same page

[wild haven]

is the entire website just down?

[warped zephyr]

same

[crystal scarab]

Seems to be back up for me

[wraith sluice]

Not all features.

Encounter builder does not work

[green canyon]

site is back up and working for me. Have not tested the encounter builder yet

[wraith sluice]

My Netflix dropped as well. Wonder if we have a general internet failure going on.

[lime sinew]

yeah, encounter builder is just not...

[inner sentinel]

I made a post about my inability to access my subscription page (a yearly occurrence at re-sub for five years now!) and the fact that I've reached out on Twitter, Facebook, on the Forums, and even started the process of issuing a support ticket a month in advance this year to ensure this didn't happen, and it got removed and flagged for political or religious posting?

Someone make it make sense, please.

[lone void]

Did it get removed by the bot? In which case you probably used a word on its banned list. You can go to #moderator-support and one of the mods should be able to tell you what the word was, so you can avoid it

[modest pelican]

The moderation team cannot help with support tickets

[inner sentinel]

I'm aware. But you all show up on the forums on occasion, or used to anyway. Like @final trellis certainly has. And I know forum moderators have escalated to the dev/support team in the past. And I'm a longtime customer with a bone to pick, so here I am. It's insane that customer support requires this kind of outreach on the part of the consumer.

[little plume]

Can someone hellp me with somthing im tring to downlode the book frozen sick but it dosent downlode and i know i have enoghe space for it

[inner sentinel]

Maybe. I mean, it was cheeky but didn't invoke anything particularly religious or political?

[modest pelican]

The forums are not related to the support system either.

If you have entered a support ticket, you will have to wait for the team to respond. The moderation team cannot do anything with regards to support tickets, especially given the weekend is coming up

[inner sentinel]

Except that many posts have been referred throughout the time I've been posting there in regards to bugs/support. I'm aware that mods don't address issues related to specific tickets. But it seems like the kind of thing the team-at-large might want to consider addressing at some point...any point...since it has a direct impact on the company's bottom line.

That's not even really my point. I'm not even particularly riled about my particular situation. Rather, it's the fact that this has been an ongoing issue for literal years that continues to impact the community. It's not just me.

[proud crown]

Anyone having problems accessing the Encounter Builder/My Encounters on dndbeyond? Keep getting 503 and a blank page, anywhere else on the website everything is working as intended.

[halcyon plover]

site is having problem today it seems

[tribal furnace]

Hi. I'm trying to figure out how to work with the homebrew on D&D Beyond. Can someone point me towards some good tutorials?

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, I find the easiest way to figure it out is to make a homebrew copy of something official that works how you want.

Then you can peek inside and steal its secrets. 🤫

There is a short walkthrough here that introduces the basics, though.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/845-new-players-guide-how-to-homebrew-on-d-d-beyond

[tribal furnace]

Thanks. I've been trying to share some third party options I have with my players and struggled with the interface.

[slender glacier]

Is there a way to turn off 2 factor auth? I am setup via google and tired of it always making me bring up youtube just to log in. Is there some way I can turn that off or just use username and password ?

[modest pelican]

This channel is for providing help with D&D Beyond, not general tech support on your Google account.

[remote sparrow]

Hey im a new DM and im creating a homebrew race on dnd beyond but im having trouble, i want the race to be called gem but when you click on it to show the list of gems such as Ruby, saphire and so on but each gem is showing up as their individual race rather than in one category, idk if any of this made sense

[uneven lantern]

There is not currently a way to combine them, I'm afraid.

[floral wadi]

so no subraces? is that what this means?

[remote sparrow]

ah okie

[remote sparrow]

it was meant as like when you clcik on elf and theres eladrin elf under it

[final trellis]

There is no grouping for homebrew subraces/races - only official content gets grouped

[slender glacier]

? This is my point. When I log into DDB and select Using Google it makes me open YouTube on my phone and say it’s “ok”.

Is that a DDB thing? Wondering now if it’s a google thing, but I log into google all the time and it doesn’t do that.

[edgy oriole]

That is a google thing because a 3rd party service (DnDBeyond) is asking you to authenticate via your Google Account, triggering google to ask "is this really you?" and requiring 2-factor.

[slender glacier]

Hmm, thanks for the lead, maybe I can turn that off somehow, super annoying. Thanks

[hot pike]

How do I switch DM role from myself (the account with all the subs) to a friend who wants to try a one shot?

[edgy oriole]

They would need to creat their own campaign and everyone one would need to create/put their character into that campaign. You’re speaking about DnDBeyond right? Not Avrae?

[hot pike]

Yes dndbeyond. I don't think he owns all the books though. would that be a problem?

[edgy oriole]

Do they need any specific books for the one shot? If so if someone has a Master Tier subscription they can turn on content sharing for the campaign and folks can share their books within that campaign.

Otherwise they can access anything/everything their account has access to.

[hot pike]

I could share everything with my master account as I am a player in the campaign

[inner sluice]

So I have a few books and I was wondering if I have to buy them again to have them on ddb or if there is a key somewhere

[edgy oriole]

Unless you bought one of the special bundles from Wizards of the coast online store, there are no “buy physical, get digital access” currently.

[inner sluice]

Ok thanks

[whole raptor]

Except the Essentials Kit

[wild flare]

So I received a custom legendary bow and am struggling to add it to ddb as homebrew. It deals 2d8 necrotic and is a +1 longbow. It also does not require ammo...

When I make a hb item it still keeps the original 1d8 piercing... How do I change this?

[bright copper]

You can’t change the weapons damage dice. What you can do is change the longbows damage to necrotic and then add 1d8 extra necrotic damage.

[uneven lantern]

Alternatively, you can add it as a custom action directly on your character sheet. Go to the Actions tab and hit Manage Custom to get started.

[wild flare]

How would I change the longbowss damage

[wild flare]

Issue is it's for avare battles

[uneven lantern]

It’ll still work. Or you can just add it directly in Avrae.

[spark gorge]

Hi where can I write to ask you for some advices. About character creation

[uneven lantern]

#character-discussion can help.

[spark gorge]

Thank tou

[wild flare]

Issue is I use hunters mark as my bonus action to cast... I won't be able to use that and the bow then as the aliase for hunters mark that I use will throw out an error

Also I want to make it a hb weapon so that I can just use 1 command

[uneven lantern]

Custom action, used in Avrae. Took about 15 seconds.

[rich gorge]

my daughter is logged into the dndbeyond app on her ipad using login with google chrome. but when she tries to login with a browser (weve tried pc edge, pc chrome, andriod edge, andriod browser and ipad safari) it pops up the box to enter the google credentials, then asks to "confirm" sendign data to dndbeyond. pressing confirm it says "an error has occurred. we dont know why". we have no ad blockers, addons or anything. ive tried every device and browser ive got - all the same.

Weve tried 50times from different devices and nothing works.

Ive bought her 3 sourcebooks "as a gift" and want her to claim them, but i dont think she can do that on the app, it has to be on the browser version.

what do i do?

[modest pelican]

Is this only localised to that device?

[rich gorge]

PC, andriod phone, Ipad. used every device i have, with multiple browsers on each

she can only login on the app. cant login with a browser

[modest pelican]

And this is using a standard google account? Not like a google education account or anything like that?

[rich gorge]

standard

and it worked fine when registering the app a week ago

[modest pelican]

Do you have an account? If so, are you able to log in?

[rich gorge]

yes, i can login fine

[modest pelican]

That looks to be a google issue, not a D&D Beyond issue. You're still in the google domain and the error message is being served by google. You would probably have to contact their support.

[rich gorge]

and theres no way for my daughter to claim her gift from me without using a browser?

[modest pelican]

Not currently, not

[naive lodge]

I would recommend trying to clear the cache and cookies for Google, and logging into them first before using them to login to DDB.

[rich gorge]

having tried 5 different browser/device combinations. some of them never used dndbeyond before, and yes, ive cleared cache on PC edge and chrome - no effect

[naive lodge]

I just logged in with my account using Google, so it's not on our end. It would either be Google itself, or with something on your network or devices.

[rich gorge]

this has happened every time for last 3 days

no response from the ticket i raised yet

its not my network. ive used both home network and mobile data

[modest pelican]

Give me two seconds

Imma make a thread

There we go, will help you there

[edgy oriole]

Is the google account part of a school google account? Their may be limits on how those accounts can be used and they may not work with DnDBeyond potentially.

[rich gorge]

no, but the account is for a 12yr old. which isnt a problem for the app, isnt a problem for creating a wizards of the cost login (with parental consent via the consentcheck thing) but might be a problem logging into the dndbeyond website using a browser with "login with google"

[edgy oriole]

Yeah - may need to run this by DNDBeyond's Customer Service then.

[rich gorge]

aye. been 3 days though since i raised the ticket. sucks its over the easter holidays

but thanks all for trying to help

[sacred sleet]

currently on my profile it doesn't show that I own the January 2023 sub perks
and it says I own the April 2023 perks but I can't find a description of them anywhere

the Sync Entitlements already says I have them all

what do I do?

[naive lodge]

Asking.

[naive lodge]

The current month's perks should be listed at https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscription which this month appears to be four frames celebrating Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

[sacred sleet]

another issue
whenever I go to that page I always get automatically signed out
when I sign back in, it goes to the home page, then it repeats the above

[naive lodge]

There is a known issue that it says you are signed out on the subscription page (you are not). It should still list what your current perks are though.

[burnt sage]

im having issues with a charecter i cant view or edit can anyone give me a hand

[burnt sage]

so the character in question avrae says is inactive when he tries to roll but hes not inactive in ddb

would it matter if his name is stupidly offensive

[trail marlin]

If I own a real life copy of the Player handbook and want a digital copy do I have to buy it or was there some kind of code for it that I missed

[dawn egret]

you have to buy it on Beyond.

or use the homebrew tools to add in what you want from the book, just don't publish it

[zealous dagger]

I just switched some of my players characters to XP based instead of milestone based, and then leveled them up to the level they achieved in our last session. Only does DNDBeyond not automatically roll a hit dice to increase their max hp... Am I wrong or did it used to do that before?

[modest pelican]

DDB has never automatically rolled hit dice. It does have a fixed option that gives you the average rounded up, but you've always had to roll manually

[zealous dagger]

Oh, I must have seen that somewhere else than. Thanks for your reply!

[little plume]

hello Im a begginier DM. by which rule I have to get XP to players?

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-newcomers

[zealous dagger]

It does roll automatically... Whenever you switch the level here:

[modest pelican]

No, it doesn't

[zealous dagger]

Then why did my players HP increase whenever I switched that from 5 to 6?

[modest pelican]

If you have fixed HP set, it will give you the average (rounded up) but there's no automatic rolling for HP

It's apply their con modifier

A character with +1 Con mod will gain 1 hit point when levelling before you apply whatever you rolled for hit points

[zealous dagger]

So you're saying this increase in hp is something else than the dice roll?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character?

[zealous dagger]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/83973697

[modest pelican]

They have fixed HP set

Which I mentioned twice before applies the average of the hit dice (rounded up) rather than rolling it

[zealous dagger]

Aaahhh.... So if it's set to fixed we're not rolling any dices right?

[modest pelican]

Yes

[zealous dagger]

OKay okay, thanks for helping me and sorry for being a pain in the ass

[modest pelican]

S'all good

[uneven lantern]

Each time you gain a level, you gain 1 additional Hit Die. Roll that Hit Die, add your Constitution modifier to the roll, and add the total (minimum of 1) to your hit point maximum. Alternatively, you can use the fixed value shown in your class entry, which is the average result of the die roll (rounded up).

[vocal trellis]

I want to give monks more ki points, but I can't edit the monk class, so I wonder if I can homebrew a monk subclass and give them a feature that gives them more ki points?

[uneven lantern]

You can add a separate set of checkboxes to track the additional uses.

[burnt sage]

so i cant view or edit one of my players pc's is there any way anyone could help

[uneven lantern]

You can’t adjust the existing checkbox count.

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try?

[burnt sage]

the screen scrolls up

and refreshes

[uneven lantern]

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

[burnt sage]

didnt think to try that one sec ill let you know

i can view his charecter sheet on mobile

[uneven lantern]

You might have a browser extension or something interfering, then.

I’d suggest disabling them all and trying again.

If that works, you can re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.

[burnt sage]

all of my extensions are off and its still doing it

also on my pc i can view and edit everyone character's just not his
