[burnt sage]

i could share my screen or something if that helps

[uneven lantern]

I’m not available for a VC at the moment.

Have you tried another browser on that PC?

Or something like Chrome’s Incognito Mode?

[burnt sage]

just tried edge and it does the same thing

[uneven lantern]

Are you using a VPN or any security software like Kaspersky?

[burnt sage]

no

[uneven lantern]

Are others in your party able to view that character?

[burnt sage]

yes

incog dosent work either

also just to point out this did happen in 2 campaigns i made he was the only one i couldnt see or edit

and his character is set to public

[uneven lantern]

Can you right-click on the “View” link in your campaign and share the URL here?

[burnt sage]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/3953678

also if i try to view his charecter sheet in the encounter creator thing it errors out

maybe it wasnt the encounter creator lol

[uneven lantern]

No, not the campaign link.

The character link (from the campaign page).

[burnt sage]

i right click on edit and click copy link address and thats what it gives me

one sec ill see if i can get on of my pc's to copy his link from that page or whatever

[uneven lantern]

I’m able to view it just fine.

[burnt sage]

i can if i use that link but clicking the buttons on this web page dosent work sc incoming

[uneven lantern]

It’s probably their username causing issues.

Normally a link from the campaign page includes the username in the URL.

(The one you sent me above does not.)

But the # in there would create an invalid URL, so it would be unsurprising that the link didn’t work.

They can submit a request here for a name change if they wish.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/65846-display-name-change-request-thread-v2

(Gonna sweep up those links because of the character name. 🧹)

[burnt sage]

ok ill try that thanks homie

[burnt sage]

it worked thank you so much !!!

[dull mirage]

Hi, is there anyway I can access Legacy content on DDB? I'm trying to make a Protector Oldsimar on there

[edgy oriole]

Not unless you already own the content or are part of a campaign with content sharing enabled that someone in that campaign owns that content.

[dull mirage]

Can't purchase it at all I take it?

[edgy oriole]

It is no longer available for purchase

[errant stratus]

Hi, sorry to bother you all but i just purchased a race in beyond but its not popping up in race selection, any help?

[uneven lantern]

Which race?

[errant stratus]

grung

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to enable Non-Core Content in your character settings.

[errant stratus]

ok gimi a sec

@uneven lantern tysm!

i dont suppose u would be able to recommend the best Musical instrument or artidsans tool for a monk grung build..?

[uneven lantern]

#character-discussion can help with that one.

[ebon minnow]

Is the issue of homebrew monsters sometimes not showing up in the encounter builder a known issue

because yeah

[little plume]

Hey does anyone know how to when making a homebrew race on dnd beyond have its armor class be 11 + DEX mod?

[uneven lantern]

Add a Modifier.

Type: Set
Subtype: Armor Class
Fixed Value: 1

(The other 10+DEX are automatic.)

[little plume]

Okay thank you! 😁

[little plume]

Okay that didn't work

[timber thunder]

It's my first time homebrewing and I'm struggling to get an action from a feat only be used once per long rest. Does anyone know how to do that in DnD beyond?
Like, I have everything written down and it's all done on paper but actually implementing it on the website is... a struggle. I tried to do it by adding the feat as an action and changing the reset-type to "long rest" and added 1 to "limited uses". However, the website still displays 5 slots so 5 uses per long rest which it shouldn't do.

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to fifteen minutes before they show up on the character sheet. Not sure when exactly you made the switch.

But you could also try finding an official race that works like yours, then make a homebrew copy and see how it was set up.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of the Limited Use page?

[little plume]

Oh okay then thank you

[timber thunder]

Well, I just made lunch and it's all fixed now. Had to wait just as you said, thank you😅 I didn't know it takes some time

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it gets cached so the sheet will load faster during play.

But that’s the tradeoff.

[glacial bobcat]

i leveled up, and i set my character to level 2, but the website isn't letting me pick any level 2 spells. Why is that?

[modest pelican]

Because that's not how spells work, the level of spells you can cast isn't based on your class level

Instead you need to check the spell level progression table for your class

[glacial bobcat]

ah, just saw it for myself

[little plume]

Yeah you know what I'm gonna try that seeing as how waiting over an hour for it to update still didn't work

[sullen sinew]

Question, who can I write to for the accessibility of DDB website maybe?

[uneven lantern]

Sorry, what is this regarding?

Might need some more details before we can point you to the right place.

[sullen sinew]

well features on the website that's not working for me, that was before in the past. Something changed and it's unavailable for me ot use now.

the two features that's not working for me, but are for those with vision still are, the custom oregin, and the optional feature for classes and such. Might seem...small but it's honestly something that's annoying to see and vanish one day. Quite enjoyed using those lol.

[uneven lantern]

And where exactly is your screen reader having trouble? In the character settings where you first enable those options, or on the race and class pages where you choose the individual features?

[sullen sinew]

race and class page

I can enable them fine on the home screen, but when I move to those pages of race and class, I can open the manager, but can't chose them, I heard there's like a check box, but nothing's there for me.

[dire pawn]

How do I make a post for #looking-for-players ?

[edgy oriole]

Please read #find-a-game - it has instructions on how to do so.

[uneven lantern]

Got it! I can pass that information along for you, then. Thanks for letting us know!

[sullen sinew]

Thank you!

[plush kernel]

I’m trying to add mage armor to a homebrew subclass and I added it the normal way to add spell and made it always prepared but it just won’t show up (it’s for sorcerer btw)

[tiny canyon]

This feels like it should have a dropdown menu with options in it. either its bugged for me (which would mean its been bugged since 2017) or it just hasnt been added yet. it would be nice if it was added.

[modest pelican]

The system doesn't support nested dropdowns at this time, meaning it's not possible to put a maneuverer selection within a fighting style selection
And this option is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, which released in 2020, not 2017

[tiny canyon]

wouldnt it be the same thing as the Strixhaven feats/ dragonlance feats/ magic initiate/ etc that all have dropdown options?

the only reason i never take it is because its a hassle to just NOT have the options right there like everything else

[modest pelican]

Those are feats which is a different subsystem

[wild flare]

Please assist me in making a hb bow... It deals 2d8 necrotic is a +1 longbow and doesn't require ammo

[gritty kayak]

getting this while trying to access a character in one of my campaigns

Error code : 03725d79711947d6b8cb88e4216b50ea
Version : @dndbeyond/character-app@1.46.1

[plush kernel]

I’m trying to add mage armor to a homebrew subclass and I added it the normal way to add spell and made it always prepared but it just won’t show up (it’s for sorcerer btw)

[past slate]

I'm planning on having homebrew items my players can use and are going to put them in a campaign so they can just grab them without having to put in the information on what the item does, but I have things that I want to keep hidden from them as it might ruin some surprises the party would encounter.
Is there a way to choose what is and isn't shown to them?

[whole raptor]

Male 2 versions of the item

[past slate]

But it would still show them?

As long as they are part of my creation and those players are in the campaign, they might end up encountering it and I won't be able to do anything about it unless there's a way to choose what's shown

[whole raptor]

Oh true

Actually
Isn't there a way to edit which things are visible to your players?

Or is that only for books?

[past slate]

If there was I wouldn't know

[edgy oriole]

You can only toggle visibility on the book in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled. Also if the player already owns that book, they could still read it. At some level you have to trust your players - make sure to set expectations and boundaries. Letting players know the general gist of what may happen, many of them will lean into it and enjoy their characters getting surprised (while they as players knew something was coming up).

[edgy oriole]

Have you tried the "clear your cache and cookies and restart the browser" trick yet?

[gritty kayak]

no dice

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/94682921 < should be the character sheet

[edgy oriole]

Hmmm. This one may require putting in a CS ticket: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us

(Use the My Requests button at top)

[gritty kayak]

I'll try removing the player and having them rejoin first, if that doesnt work ill file a ticket

[edgy oriole]

Yeah that's worth testing out

[uneven lantern]

At the very bottom of their character settings, do they have the Character Visibility set to “Private”?

how do i redeem a gift of some sourcebooks. the instructions say to redeem at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace/redeem-key/ but that page doesnt exist. so how do i do this?

that worked - thanks

but is there any way to tell someone that the email that goes out to the gift sender when you buy a gift, has the wrong link in the email

What do I need except the DDB app to really play DnD?

[modest pelican]

Firstly, you don't need D&D Beyond to play D&D

Secondly, you want #dnd-newcomers, this channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services

[little plume]

IK but I'll use it for books/characters

[little plume]

okay thanks

[stone bone]

Are you able to change / homebrew your character stuff in DDB? Or are you totally locked to raw ?

[uneven lantern]

You can! There’s a lot of stuff you can edit directly on the character sheet, and a number of homebrew options you can create and use.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew

[mental solar]

why do dndbeyond not save the hitdice you use. tryed reload page. each time i go in under short rest it is not used. tryed many times

[modest pelican]

Are you confirming the short rest?

You have to click the 'Take Short Rest' button, then while it's green and says 'Confirm', you click it again within 3 seconds

[mental solar]

yea i found out now

[modest pelican]

So you've got it all sorted?

[mental solar]

yes thank you

[junior pewter]

Hello! So, I’m new to all this, but I managed to use D&D Beyond to create a character. None of the official races had what I wanted, so I chose a homebrew.

Trouble is, I’m not finding the options and perks of the race on my character sheet. I should have poison spray and charm animal, but my spell area is locked. No sign of darkvisionunder my senses, or poison immunity under resistances. I took some screenshots for reference. One shows the racial features on the character sheet, the others are places where I feel stuff is missing.

[mental solar]

you need to have the books or you can only use the srd rules. like only 1 background and so on . if i remember correct

[uneven lantern]

Can you show where you added those spells in the homebrew itself?

[junior pewter]

I didn’t make it. I just found a homebrew on the site and added it.

Under “Collections” and then “Browse and Create”

[junior pewter]

Okay, new question. Let’s say I just go ahead and create the race I want using an existing one as a base. If I buy “Volo's Guide to Monsters”, will Yuan-ti Purebloods show up as an available starting template?

[whole raptor]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

Then it’s very possible that whoever created it didn’t set it up correctly.

[junior pewter]

Drat, there goes that option

[uneven lantern]

You can find the current version of Yuan Ti in Monsters of the Multiverse instead.

[mental patio]

is there any common thing people can do to cause the site to suddenly begin loading slowly? dndbeyond was working flawlessly for me just recently but since barely a week ago any pages involving characters ("my characters" or after clicking on a character) are loading extremely slowly; im not hearing this issue from anyone i know... is there like an easy-to-miss setting on the site or maybe chrome that could cause that?

[fathom pier]

Im planning my first in person session as a dm i need a lot of help to sort it out if anyone wants to help me id be happy to listin

[uneven lantern]

No issue I’m aware of. Do you get the same problem in another browser, or on another device?

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #dm-discussion can lend a hand!

[fathom pier]

Thank you

[mental patio]

just checked - yeah, looks like i have the same slowness on both chrome and edge, as well as on mobile

[uneven lantern]

Are your phone and your computer using the same internet connection?

[mental patio]

yes, though the slowness is the same if i change my phone to data

How do I make something like Hexblade's pact weapon, where if I click on a box it will change the weapon to cha mod?

I've made a copy of the hexblade subclass and tried to look around but i dont see any part with the ways showing how to do it and stuff

[uneven lantern]

Hexblade was forged with dark magics unavailable to us mortals. ☠️

[dim totem]

Let’s try this again, without posting a link that I had no idea was pirated because a friend gave it to me

I’m looking to make a transformation ability, and I’m wondering how I’d go about it on beyond, because of how seemingly limited it’s customization can be, but who knows, maybe I’m wrong

[dim totem]

Go onto browser beyond
Click the weapon you want
The click the pact and hex weapon boxes

It should automatically switch the stuff to Char based

See?

[full sparrow]

No, I'm asking for how to make another subclass or feat with checkboxes and modifier switch

[dim totem]

Ohhhhhh

That I do not know, apologies

[reef venture]

When you buy a book from the marketplace, how do you find it on DDB? I redeemed a code for Icespire peaks from the Essentials Kit box and I was told there was "bonus" material but I cannot find it on my DDB account

[modest pelican]

The code can be redeemed for Dragon of Icespire Peak plus the three follow up adventures; Divine Contention, Sleeping Dragons Wake, and Storm Lords Wrath. These can be found by going to the sources menus and in the right hand section (adventures) clicking view all

[reef venture]

gotcha, thx. Was just odd because there is no icon or anything saying "you own this." I don't see any way to confirm unless you actually try to open the contents. If you own it, it opens. If not, it goes to the marketplace page. Unless I am missing something

I see no easy way to download the content I own. Is that correct?

[modest pelican]

From the site, no, there's no native way to download content. You can however download content for offline access using the app

[reef venture]

is that like a pdf? I never used the DDB app

[modest pelican]

No, the app is more like an ebook reader

[reef venture]

gotcha. Thx for the help

I have an access question that is probably better handled in private. Would it be possible for us to DM or have a private thread or something? guess not

[molten robin]

Do all the 5e books include a code for DDB?

[north sand]

I might need a mod's help on this one. I've been trying various ways to remove the dexterity modifier (first picture) from my race's AC and replace it with the constitution modifier for over an hour now. (12 + CON mod) I've tried every way I can think of to remove the DEX mod (second picture) but it still results in no change at all to the dexterity mod being added to the AC. I've copied the exact same modifiers used for the Tortle race, (third picture) yet it won't remove the DEX mod for my race, even though it's the exact same, and I've even added more.

I also press the "save changes" button and switch to a different race and back to my custom race, as well as reloading the page after every single change I make, so I know that updating the page isn't the issue. If I'm doing anything wrong, please tell me, because I've tried everything I can think of.

[north sand]

After another hour of messing arounds, I deleted all the modifiers, and redid them all again, and somehow that worked? I'm still very confused, but I think maybe the website just took a reaaally long time to update it

[ebon minnow]

re-asking this

[ebon minnow]

DnDBeyond does not update subclass/race unless you unapply and reapply it (and even then, only if the server processes the changes)

so good rule of thumb is to switch to something else and then back to whatever your using for it to update

[uneven lantern]

Where and how did you add the DC? Where are you expecting that DC to show?

[uneven lantern]

There was a problem over the weekend last month, but that should have been resolved. 🤔

[red veldt]

Hi!
My DM has given me a magic longsword which has the following effects:

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls, you can use your Charisma bonus to determine attack and damage rolls. You also deal an additional damage die in radiant damage.

I'm trying to create this on DnDBeyond in the homebrew. The +1 on attack and damage is just a Longsword+1, right, so I've taken that as the base and then in the 'Bonus - Magic' modifier changed the primary stat to CHA.

I'm not sure how to implement the additional damage die in radiant damage though.
Any guidance would be appreciated!

[uneven lantern]

You could make a homebrew copy of a Flame Tongue and then set it up similarly.

[red veldt]

I'll try that, thank you! If that works, that works, so job's a good one, but is there no setting that would at least change the 1d[8/10] damage to 2d[8/10] damage? I'm less bothered about splitting the damage types up coz that's easily something I can do in my head if it matters, if I can have a Longsword+1 that just rolls an extra die that works too.

[red veldt]

So looking at the Flame Tongue backend, if I adapt that to the homebrew item I'm creating, the extra damage die would always be the same regardless of if it was a one-hand or two-handed strike - it's basically rolling 1d[8/10] + 2d6.

I was hoping to have a homebrew item that rolled 2d[8/10] depending

[uneven lantern]

It might work if you set the second damage type to Slashing as well.

(Or change the first to Radiant, but that’s trickier.)

But rolling two separate damage types is not currently supported.

[red veldt]

That's fine I'm less bothered about it listing the two damages because I can just see the individual dice rolls anyway and damage types only matter when they matter.

So are you saying if I change the 'Damage - Fire | 2d6' on the Flame Tongue to Slashing, it will roll 2d[8/10]? Wouldn't that still just roll 1d[8/10] + the dice roll field, whatever that is? It wouldn't maintain the versatile roll element.

[patent canyon]

whereever it said to add the dc when your making the spell

[patent canyon]

actually its not on the spell now? i cant find it?? i swear it was there??

[uneven lantern]

That’s why I asked.

Spells don’t typically have a set DC.

So to the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a way to give it one.

(Not on the spell itself, anyway.)

[uneven lantern]

I’m honestly not sure how or if that’ll work with versatile. 😅

[red veldt]

No problem! I might ask the question on the forum! Thanks anyway!

[gleaming gulch]

I don’t suppose there’s a way to bump my request looking for games. It’s already a couple days old and buried by tons of others who have also posted. And I haven’t gotten a single response probably because it’s so far back at this point.

[modest pelican]

1. No, we don't allow bumping because that defeats the purpose of the channel having a posting limit
2. This channel is for support with D&D Beyonds site, tools, and services. For queries about the server that need to be addressed by a moderator, you want #moderator-support

[gleaming gulch]

Right. Alright then

[little plume]

yall probably think im stupid but im trying to get certain subclasses that i have purchased to work such as echo knight or chronurgy magic or graviturgy magic and i just dont have a clue on how to make them work properly for my dnd beyond

like when i choose a subclass for one of the ones i have specified for example fighter there is no echo knight option

[uneven lantern]

Head into your character settings and make sure Critical Role Content is enabled.

[little plume]

im gonna be sad if this is the reason why

thanks @uneven lantern im gonna go cry because ive been stuck with this problem for a while

[vagrant moat]

If you add homebrew to your collection but then your subscription expires, do you lose the homebrew?

Like; will you be unable to use it for character creation after that?

[bright nebula]

I need help learning spells. There's too much information presented to me at once to understand

[frigid karma]

Does anyone know of a way to export sourcebooks from roll20 into Beyond? Thanks.

[little plume]

would you all know why i cant use gift of alacrity for a spell in fey touched feat?

[azure mulch]

Does anyone wants to do a pirate themed dnd game? I need some more players and a dm

[edgy oriole]

You can access and use homebrew regardless of subscription status - you just can't add it to your personal homebrew collection (which requires an active subscription). For more support, please use #ddb-support.

[uneven lantern]

#dnd-newcomers can help with that.

[edgy oriole]

They are two separate platforms and have very different underlying backends/data structures. There really isn't a way.

[vagrant moat]

What I mean is, if you have a subscription and add other peoples’ homebrew to your collection, and your subscription expires, does the homebrew get removed from your collection or become locked for use?

[uneven lantern]

It should work if you’ve got Critical Role Content enabled. 🤔

I’m able to select it, at least.

[azure mulch]

Ok which server do I go to to find games?

[uneven lantern]

Check out #find-a-game.

[edgy oriole]

Gosh I'm blind and missed which channel we were in - apologies! I actually don't know but I suspect - based on how DnDBeyond works with character slots - that you don't lose access to your current homebrew collection but you can't add more to it (beyond your own creations).

[uneven lantern]

I’d assume the homebrew remains in your collection indefinitely, unless you remove it.

You just wouldn’t be able to add new homebrew to your collection.

[vagrant moat]

(The key is to spend all day and all night adding as much homebrew as possible to your collection)

[frigid karma]

Thanks

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that one’s like trying to play your Xbox games on a PlayStation. 😅

[acoustic kite]

None of my character sheets work from campaign page, if the dm makes me a character as soon as I claim it, it becomes broken. Character settings says public, if I send a direct link it works but otherwise, view edit and every other button do not work, If someone knows my issue would love some help please.

[uneven lantern]

Might be a problem with your username.

[acoustic kite]

Its the same as it is here, nothing fancy

[uneven lantern]

Hmmm… 🤔

[gritty kayak]

Have the DM remove your character and send you a new join link and rejoin with that character. This is how i solved a similar issue

also have your DM clear their browser cache to make sure something is not funky in there

[edgy oriole]

And be careful with browser extensions - some of them can interfere with normal DnDBeyond functionality.

[acoustic kite]

Ok hes trying it now, will let you know if it works

[uneven lantern]

In what way is it broken, exactly?

When you click those links, what happens?

[frail zephyr]

I'm trying to delete an encounter, but it won't delete. The popup states, "Are you sure you want to delete Random Encounter (created April 9, 2023)? There is no undoing this." but unlike other encounters it doesn't disappear. When I select the random encounter, the name changes to "Untitled Encounter" with a date of December 31, 1969; and there aren't any creatures within the encounter.

[gritty kayak]

heh you stack overflowed the unix time and it went to -1, that is the only explanation for that specific date

[frail zephyr]

I'm not sure I understand

[naive lodge]

Try to rename it if you can, and if there's a campaign assigned to it make sure all the characters in it are complete (ability scores etc.).

If that doesn't work then you will need to open a ticket with customer service, as they'll need to do more complex things.

[frail zephyr]

There was a campaign assigned, but the characters display as 4 random characters at lvl 5

I've attempted to rename, but it remains

[acoustic kite]

Ok after much trying still does not work. It seems none of the campaigns Ive been in have let me or anyone else click the character link or eidt link through campaign, tho I can direct link the dm the character page and they can use it as normal, just none of the campaign links for my account work currently.

Its like it has shadow set my characters to private unless I manually share the link, but on the all sheets its set to public.

[uneven lantern]

Can you copy on of those links from the campaign and share it here?

[vagrant moat]

Are the Critical Role Firearms on D&D Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah. You may need to enable Critical Role Content in your character settings.

[vagrant moat]

They’re the Exandria firearms, correct?

[scenic grove]

can I get a reminder of the content sharing limits real quick? like I know the part about having to share with people who are in your campaigns, but there's some limit to how many campaigns with how many players you can share to right?

[uneven lantern]

You can enabled Content Sharing in up to five campaigns.

But if someone else enabled it in a campaign you’re in, your content still gets shared, too.

A campaign can hold up to 12 players (plus the DM) and up to 100 characters.

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

[scenic grove]

alright thanks.

I believe a couple of my players have had trouble getting the content shared to them, and some of them aren't able to open up the books for some reason, but I think the first issue is just because they made their characters outside of the campaign and then added them. it's my understanding the characters have to be created inside of the campaign for the sharing to actually go to them(?)

[uneven lantern]

It should still work even if a pre-made character is later added to the campaign.

You could have them check here to make sure their account entitlements are in sync.

[lapis kernel]

I am having trouble I put 15 in dex and the modifier comes out to -5

[thorn sandal]

Would you mind linking the character sheet?

[lapis kernel]

https://ddb.ac/characters/98463366/94CVuD

[thorn sandal]

Alright, here's the problem. You see that box at the bottom that says "Override Score" by it? You've accidentally written a one in it, making your Dexterity 1. Just remove that and it should fix it.

[lapis kernel]

Okay that fixed the issue

[unreal flame]

hey there all, got a homebrew question for an item made in DNDBeyond, not sure if this is the right place for it.

so, i want to make a weapon that gave the attuner a temporary madness and an indefinite madness, but i'm not sure how to accomplish a way to have a dropdown option inside the weapon statblock itself.

additionally, the weapon's damage type changes from slashing to fire after being attuned to the wielder.

is that possible within the homebrew options?

[final trellis]

Not possible unfortunately - weapons dont have options to select from

[unreal flame]

fair, what about a feat then?

could be something the char gains once attuned

[small rivet]

How do I get the looking for players thread?

[unreal flame]

https://discord.com/channels/516367331358801950/750813601358676008

hope that helps!

[uneven lantern]

The attunement part is probably doable, and yeah, adding a feat to go with it would help for the rest.

[unreal flame]

do you have any recommendations as to how i can accomplish the damage type swap upon attunment?

[uneven lantern]

You’d need a Modifier.

Something like…
Type: Replace Damage Type
Subtype: Fire
Requires Attunement: (checked)

[unreal flame]

actual mad lad, you're the best my guy, have an amazing day ❤️

[craggy harness]

how do you change the known spells for a clockwork sorcerer from their expanded spell list?

[cerulean lintel]

sadly they still havent made that a feature on dndbeyond

you kinda just have to remember what you change your known spells to

which is stupid considering how vital of a feature it is

they really need to get around to doing that

[craggy harness]

ok noted

I might just copy the subclass and add it to known spells

[edgy oriole]

Or create a feat that add the spells needed.
I believe that once the devs complete the general features system update that they're currently working on (at least last I heard), it should make things like this much easier to implement.

[molten robin]

I am making a character sheet , I bought the Bladesinging subclass , but I can’t use it in my sheet.

[uneven lantern]

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

[molten robin]

Indeed , I also have bought other content that I can use.

I’m making a giff bladesinger for one of my players.

I can use the giff , but not the subclass.

[ember helm]

Why can I not pick a order?

[uneven lantern]

And there’s a checkmark next to it on this page?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/sword-coast-adventurers-guide

[uneven lantern]

Did you turn off Critical Role Content in your character settings? You’ll need it on.

[molten robin]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

And what happens on the character sheet, exactly?

[molten robin]

This happens.

[uneven lantern]

Bladesinging wouldn’t show there, because it’s not an optional class feature.

It would show under Class Features, as a choice for the Arcane Tradition feature.

[molten robin]

My bad.

Sorry for the inconvenience

[uneven lantern]

No worries! Just glad we figured it out.

[marsh charm]

I'm having trouble with my players not being able to access content I've purchased. I've got the master tier yearly subscription, and despite having characters in my campaign, they can't view any of paid content. How do I fix this?

[teal oracle]

In the campaign, have enabled the content sharing? That button should be on the top over the players.
Ylu have to do that with each campaign that you open up

[marsh charm]

I have yes, my other players can access the content just fine, it's strangely just one player

[teal oracle]

Huh weird.. maybe have them rejoin the campaign with that character

[swift plover]

If it is on the tablet, have them reload the app. Just completely close out of it an open it. That way it "Reloads the sources" and then they just need to download the shared one. If it's a PC.... No clue.

[whole raptor]

The skill proficiencies from my Custom Background aren't applying correctly

[halcyon parcel]

How do i add homebrew items to characters?

[whole raptor]

There's an option in the "Home" tab that you need to check

[uneven lantern]

Have them check here to see if their account entitlements are in sync.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue. Just give it a little while and they’ll show up.

[whole raptor]

Thanks

Wow it's been 13 hours since I posted that

[modest pelican]

People who have answers aren't always available

[hot pike]

Any having problems scrolling webpages on dndbeyond? All other sites work

[uneven lantern]

No problems on my end.

[lone void]

Scrolling is fine for me as well as I work through sources for my weekly prep

[simple idol]

First time creating a subclass.
I am trying to get remove a class skill (monk.- slow fall, for example)
Is there a way to do that?
When I choose Replace, it only allows me to replace the feats I created, not the "base ones"

[uneven lantern]

That’s not currently possible.

[simple idol]

too bad. Thanks, though

[mental edge]

How can I turn off the dice animation?

[edgy oriole]

You can’t - the 3d dice is actually part of the random numbers generator (uses physics simulation to help seed the random number generator).

[mental edge]

When I roll on Chrome on my main machine, there's no animation.

But when I roll in Firefox on a different machine, the animation happens

[uneven lantern]

Then your version of Chrome is not working as designed. Do you have an extension installed that’s altering the site somehow?

[mental edge]

Okay, actually it's an option in Beyond20 that's disabling the animation. Thanks!

[jaunty perch]

How do I set my thangs?

Figured it out

[dusky temple]

what should I set in the AC setting to apply mage armor?

[edgy oriole]

Whatever equals 13+dex mod - so do a quick little calculation and put in whatever number needed to make it equal that.

[edgy oriole]

So you could use that top one and put in 13+1 (14) and in the note say it comes from mage armor.

[uneven lantern]

Or put 3 in “Additional Magic Bonus”.

Or “Additional Misc Bonus”.

[supple coral]

putting extra thought into a new character for upcoming campaign any thoughts on what ddb marketplace books i should purchase to have access to the most content for character creation?

[uneven lantern]

You can buy just the character options.

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

So you can focus on what you want now and then decide if you want the rest later.

[supple coral]

ah gotcha i did not know that. if it helps, i mean character creation and access to feats etc. Just new to ddb and dont really know the content of all the bookds

that is nice that you can buy individual parts of the books

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, if you check the PHB, for example…

?phb

[loud sedge]

D&D Beyond

Player's Handbook

The Player's Handbook (PHB) is an official sourcebook containing the full core rules of the game. The book is everything a player needs to create heroic characters for Dungeons & Dragons the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Some of this content is available for free as a part of the Basic Rules. Learn more: https://dndbeyond.link/discordPHB

[uneven lantern]

You can get all 41 feats in that book for $3.99.

And then the book gets $3.99 cheaper.

So you could start by grabbing all the feats from all the books, if that’s what interests you most.

But back to your original question, the four books with the most character options are:

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

[supple coral]

that is awesome, in hindsight I should have just looked around the marketplace more lol. DDB seems like an awesome resource I just need to get used to all of its facets i guess

Thank you I appreciate the help👍

[lone void]

Is there a way to limit the options in character builder? I have most of the sources, but a friend wants to run a beginner friendly game to teach some new people, so would prefer to limit them to PHB stuff to not overwhelm them with choices.

[edgy oriole]

Currently nothing outside of telling folks what's allowed and what's not. The character builder does not have a way to limit options that the user or campaign has access to.

[grave marlin]

just thought it was worth mentioning I'm also having this scroll issue, no clue why, don't think it's happened before, but can't scroll in D&DBeyond exclusively for some reason, with trackpad or mouse wheel

anyone figured out a fix for this by any chance?

[edgy oriole]

Try disabling any browser extensions and see if it clears up. Some browser extensions interact with websites and may be breaking DnDBeyond's normal functionality.

[grave marlin]

Shoulda known, it was the DDDice extension, thanks!

wonder why it does that tho, very odd

[edgy oriole]

Random thought that the extension may be using a javascript namespace that DnDBeyond uses causing a namespace collision (basically think of it as two workers with the same name and someone calling out that name - which of the workers is supposed to respond?)

[zealous dagger]

Hi, I've got the following settings defined for my homebrew spell... But it shows up like this in the character sheet, does anyone know why?

[zealous dagger]

N.v.m. I must have clicked too quickly and accidentally selected spell level instead of spell scale

[fervent tundra]

Is it possible to add a natural armor bonus to a homebrew race? If so how? Because i can not figure it out

[uneven lantern]

The easiest way to find out is to make a homebrew copy of something that already has it.

Then you can peer inside and steal its secrets. 🤫

[fervent tundra]

good idea thank you

[frosty sapphire]

I have a session idea which largely changes how the game would be played, I have the mechanics of it done but I can't decide how to build a world around it, so can someone help me with that? I'm normally a player and this is farther on the DM side of stuff. If any elaboration is needed just ask.

[edgy oriole]

This would be best in #dm-discussion - this channel is for technical support for DNDBeyond tools and services.

[frosty sapphire]

Ok thanks

[cloud tartan]

Anyone know why I can't make the text not be bold when I'm creating a monster/item/feat etc.?

[uneven lantern]

Which text specifically?

[steel horizon]

Hey, quick question: I want to make a magic pendant that adds +1 to attack and damage for melee attacks. I found the part for bonus 1 fixed value to melee attacks, but how do I add the damage?

In DDB of course

[dusty turret]

How do i get rid of the "We have updated our privacy policy. Click the link to learn more." thing at the bottom

[modest pelican]

You can't

[dusty turret]

when will it get removed?

[modest pelican]

At the point where D&D Beyond determines it has been visible long enough that they have done their due diligence in making sure anyone that used the site prior to the policy changing has been reasonable notified as to the change in said policy. This is a legal requirement involving the sites privacy policy and as such D&D Beyond/Wizards of the Coast has an obligation to err on the side of caution in terms of ensuring people are appropriately notified

[whole raptor]

Oh by the way
Has anybody been getting huge whitespaces at the top of pages? Like, above the site toolbar

[modest pelican]

That is usually a sign of a browser issue, which can be caused by:

• bad cached data: fix by clearing your cache and reloading
• extensions interfering with site data: fix by disabling extensions or whitelisting D&D Beyond
• extensions modifying site data: fix by disabling extensions

[whole raptor]

👍

[blissful oak]

If youre subbed to the master account, do you have to be the DM of a campaign to share your content or is everyones content shared with the group?

[uneven lantern]

Anyone with a Master Tier subscription can activate content sharing, whether you’re the DM or a player.

And once it’s activated, everyone’s content gets shared, not just the DM’s or the subscriber’s.

[blissful oak]

Oh ok nice, thank you!

hey, I need help using a homebrew warlock subclass in my collection

I turned on homebrew for the character and the subclass is in my collection but I can't use it when I click on subclasses

https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/1662260-the-great-machine

from the Midgard Heroes Handbook by Kobold Press

[foggy niche]

Having trouble deleting a specific encounter in the Encounter Builder. Clicking the delete option does nothing, and when I go to edit it, it opens a new encounter. Even when I click on it to look at the encounter, it hangs on the loading screen indefinitely. It is worth nothing that the only creatures in this encounter where homebrew creations of mine, if that matters. I can still delete/edit others without issue

just checked, same issue on mobile as on desktop

[foggy niche]

while I'm here, I can help you a bit. This link doesn't work since you'd need to be in a campaign with content sharing enabled, or publish it which isn't always worth it.
Why you can't use it, I'm not 100% sure, if you turned it on in the character builder and it is apart of your homebrew collection, then it should appear as an option. The only reason I can think of is that the site didn't load in time or something.

[uneven lantern]

Have you enabled Homebrew Content for that character?

As for the suggestion of publishing it, this is 100% something that should not be published.

Users can only publish their own original creations. If this is from a third-party publication, then it does not qualify.

[uneven lantern]

There’s a known issue with deleting unnamed encounters. You could try giving it a name first.

If it already has a name or if that doesn’t work, then you’ll need to contact customer support.

[harsh wind]

I did

Im mainly using this because i have the handbook but no way of importing it into Beyond

because 3rd party

yeah it has a name already, thank you though

how do i make it so a magic items gives a +2 bonus to your strength score?

nvm

[proven valley]

Hey how many Campaigns can I have on my account at once? 6?

[winter storm]

I think you can have as many as you want. For characters you can only have 6.

[uneven lantern]

You can enable Content Sharing in up to five campaigns.

[whole raptor]

I can't see shared content in the character editor, despite the character being created being in the campaign with sharing enabled

[modest pelican]

What is the shared content you're trying to access?

[whole raptor]

wait no i figured it out

[torn lichen]

Just got a internal server error while making a feat

Was editing a prerequisite

[karmic star]

I can't for the life of me figure out how to Infuse the different parts of the Artificer Armorer subclass while above level 9. It is possible to Infuse the chestpiece, since it is counted as an item, but the gauntlets can't be chosen as a recipient of Infusions, as far as I am aware. It is specifically stated in the level 9 feature, that you can do this, yet it seems that D&D Beyond doesn't support it. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

[gaunt bloom]

To implement extra infusions for this feature, when you go to infuse an item, you’ll see an Override Infusion Limit button at the top of the sidebar.

[frosty aspen]

I'm trying to make a character with a homebrew race. Now I set the race to have sub races, and it has a subrace. But for some reason it still gives me the message that no subraces have been created which doesn't allow me to make my character that race.

It even shows that it does have a sub race in its' editing menu

[karmic star]

I've failed to locate the area where said: 'Override Infusion Limit' button is. I can only choose my 'Crossbow, light' as item to Infuse, when I should be able to choose my gauntlets as a guardian armorer - could you provide a screenshot of the location?

[shell falcon]

Where do I add the Tasha's features

[left hemlock]

how do I add a +2 to attack and damage rolls to a homebrew magic item? ik it's prolly a dumb question

[gaunt bloom]

I ve failed to locate the area where

[gaunt bloom]

Go to the home tab and enable optional features.

[shell falcon]

Yeah i got it

[gaunt bloom]

Bonus > Magic > Fixed: 2

[left hemlock]

thank you so much

also, different problem but how do I make it so that the item just says "requires attunement" rather than "requires attunement by a", can I leave the attunement description blank?

[modest pelican]

Yep, and that'll remove prerequisite text

[left hemlock]

oh, it has a red asterisk though? doesn't that mean required?

[modest pelican]

That can be ignored for that field

[left hemlock]

thank you so much for clearing it up, means a lot I was stuck on that

[tidal rock]

Hey I could use some assistance. I was wondering if there was a way to add charges to feats?

[modest pelican]

Yep, you have to add an action, then for that action specify a recharge, and once you've done that you can add limited use data which defines charges

[shell falcon]

I added some optional features for my players, but it fully will not open for them. Is that on purpose? Did they decide that you can add the features but they can't see them?

[dim totem]

So, I’m making a subclass based off the actual subclass “The Hexblade” for Warlock, and it’s giving me a publish error message
“This homebrew subclass has data mapped to it that is officially licensed content or private homebrew, this typically occurs when there are licensed or homebrew spells that are linked to the subclass”
Anyone know how to fix this?-

Spells I have on the list are
Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness, Blindness/deafness, Silence, bestow curse, vampiric touch, blight, death ward, contagion, insect plague, and it’s bonus cantrip Chill Touch

[shell falcon]

Beast sense isn't in the character sheet, it's meant to be automatically added, right? They're level 10

[uneven lantern]

It can only include spells from the Basic Rules if you want to publish it to the global community.

Ray of Sickness is from the PHB, not the Basic Rules.

You can use it as-is without publishing, though. It gets shared with your campaigns automatically.

[dim totem]

Is that the only non basic rules I have currently?

[uneven lantern]

No idea. I stopped checking at the first one I found. 😅

[dim totem]

[uneven lantern]

These are all the spells in the Basic Rules:

[pulsar wren]

Does anyone have an idea on how to play the game? (I've literally just joined and my friends wanna do it with me)

[uneven lantern]

Is Content Sharing enabled for this campaign?

[pulsar wren]

Also is there a way to make our own races?

[shell falcon]

No, but the other spells and features are working perfectly fine

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #dnd-newcomers can help you get started. (This channel is specifically for help with D&D Beyond.)

[shell falcon]

Like i ask what they want and I add it

[pulsar wren]

tysm :D

[uneven lantern]

That’s still probably the reason. (This works fine on my character, since I have access to that spell.)

[shell falcon]

So they did it weird for beast sense but not the other ones?

[uneven lantern]

No idea

But if the player doesn’t have access to that spell, I don’t find it surprising that they’re unable to access it.

[raw salmon]

Ive got a custom item, and it lets me fill out all the stats except for the hit dc, and Ive been trying to find out how to change it for 30 minutes

Also please ping me if anyone responds

Nevermind just figured it out, I feel like an idiot now

[edgy pasture]

Got some questions, one is making character in the dnd beyond or editing by it is safe and won't cause issue with those who sigh in by Google account?

[edgy oriole]

DnDBeyond only uses Google, Apple, and Twitch oAuth to manage logins. It's as safe as those elements and as safe as you make it managing said 3rd-party accounts.

[edgy pasture]

I mean making in the app it self on mobile devices like a tablet

[edgy oriole]

You have to have a Google, Apple or Twitch account - doesn't matter where or on what device you make those particular accounts.

DnDBeyond uses that to authenticate you and provide access to DnDBeyond tools and services

[edgy pasture]

Meaning it's safe to make characters by the app it self and it won't flag this action as a suspicious activity to my Google account?

[edgy oriole]

There shouldn't be any issues normally.

[edgy pasture]

Soo yes its fine =3=?

[edgy oriole]

I can't make any warranty of safety - but under normal conditions everything should be fine. DnDBeyond is owned by Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro and Google is Google. They are as safe as those entities can be.

[analog mango]

[dreamy tendon]

could someone proficient in dnd beyond help me with my race? most namely the spells for darksworn and normal ani because i cant get the beams to function (esp the scaling oh dear the scaling..)
i would prefer not to publish because i have to be able to edit it but i can take screenshots and dm if need be
there are two versions of the beam
one is inflict wounds the other is cure wounds, both at a 40 ft range.. they unlock at lvl 3 and gain a "level" of the spell every 3 levels capping out at 8d8 necrotic (or 5d8 healing if cure wounds edition) for a lvl 15'er
ping me if you can help me set this up

[modest pelican]

@timber dock Please try disabling any extensions and clearing your cache

(I removed your post due to inappropriate content in the screenshot)

[uneven lantern]

What's the actual text description for this feature?

[dreamy tendon]

At 3rd level, your orb can channel a golden healing beam which heals what it is aimed at. You can aim it telepathically. This beam is the equivalent of 1st level Cure Wounds, (1d8+SPELL MODIFIER) and acts as such, except with a 40 ft range. You can use the orb’s beam once per long rest. 1d8 is added to the healing every 3 levels, capping out at level 15 with 5d8.

destruction beam is the same thing but with inflict wounds starting at 3d8 and ending at 8d8

it cannot hit things through any material and the target must be in your line of sight

[timber dock]

how do i cleare cashe

[karmic star]

Clothing?

[uneven lantern]

And I assume you want this to show up on the Actions tab with dice rolling?

[uneven lantern]

That depends on the browser you're using. An internet search for your browser name and "clear cache" should reveal the answer.

[dreamy tendon]

correct

geez me with the word butchering

[dreamy tendon]

the only instance where it doesnt apply in is if the target is wearing clothing, and only the clothing it is wearing (stuff like backpacks is included so long as its in the inventory)

[uneven lantern]

Do you need to account for different possible spell modifiers? Or are we just working with a single one?

[dreamy tendon]

whatever the spell modifier of the character is

sorry im doing stuff at the same time so-

[uneven lantern]

A racial trait isn't going to be able to access a character's spellcasting modifier automatically.

[dreamy tendon]

ah

[uneven lantern]

So you'll need to have the player select which ability to use.

But that means more work for you.

[dreamy tendon]

i might remove that then

just the 1d8 and the scaling

[uneven lantern]

Then for that, you'll want to add an Action.

Select whatever action type you want. Spell, maybe.

[dreamy tendon]

probably this

[uneven lantern]

• Give it a name.
• Set the dice count and type for the lowest level.
• Set Display As Attack to "Yes".
• For Spell Range Type, select Ranged, then set the Range to 40.
• Set the Activation Type to "Action".

[dreamy tendon]

alr ill do this and set it as wisdom mod since thats what ani value the most-

[uneven lantern]

Then after you save it, you'll find a new Level Overrides section at the bottom.

[dreamy tendon]

uhhh how do i set it as a heal

[uneven lantern]

Add a separate entry for each level that changes the result. (i.e. every three levels up to 15).

[dreamy tendon]

it just lists all the damage types

[uneven lantern]

You probably don't want to select a damage type for the cure wounds version.

[dreamy tendon]

ah so just leave it blank?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

Anyway, for the first Level Override, you’d set it to level 6 and change the Dice Count to 2.

Level: 9, Dice Count: 3

etc

[dreamy tendon]

imma do a test char then set up damage version
ive got school in a sec tho so

also, is it even possible to make it so a racial overrides an entire damage type (with a bypass spell)

[uneven lantern]

Not sure what you're trying to ask there.

[dreamy tendon]

i want a racial for my race so that every time they cast a necrotic spell, it gets overridden and becomes radiant instead (you can bypass this with a spell, think its a bonus action)

[uneven lantern]

I don't think that's possible.

[dreamy tendon]

oh

[uneven lantern]

There's no official race that does that, at the very least.

[dreamy tendon]

hm we'll do it manually if we cant do that

[uneven lantern]

And since the system is ultimately built to facilitate the official content...

[dreamy tendon]

yea so
understandable 🥲

Why is bot down?

[uneven lantern]

What bot?

[uneven lantern]

“Replacement” and “Additional” features are optional. The player will have to manually opt in to them before they’ll show on the sheet.

(Those options are there to support TCOE’s Customize Your Origin rules.)

If you want it to happen automatically, you’ll need another approach. What’s the text description for this feature?

[eager summit]

Hey, I was wondering if anyone here could answer a question I have. I have some physical sourcebooks and I want to know if there's any way to "prove" that or if there's some sort of code or something in order to view them on D&D Beyond? I really don't want to have to spend even more money for books I already have. I just want to be able to access them when I don't have my copies handy.

[novel steppe]

my email just gotten deleted (I can't use it anymore no access) so I was wondering how I could access it again. I had it for dnd beyond and since I'm still playing a campaign it makes it really hard for me to access my character sheet again. Is there anyway to get that account back?

[naive lodge]

You would need to contact customer service with proof you are the account owner.

[novel steppe]

and if I don't have a phone?

can I just prove that I have ownership through email thing? cuz it doesn't exactly show the email on the profile right?

[modest pelican]

You don't need a phone to contact customer service, you do so here: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[novel steppe]

alr thanks

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

You could use the homebrew tools to recreate that content for no cost.

Or you could buy just the parts you need when you need them, like a single subclass.

(Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.)

[eager summit]

Oof, ok. Thank you for the info, I appreciate it.

[sacred wharf]

Yo i can't open the character sheet of one of my players who just joined the dndbeyond campaign

clicking View or Edit simply reopens the campaign, all other characters open fine

We have session soon I kinda need help

[uneven lantern]

Can you right-click/long-press on that View link and share the URL here?

[sacred wharf]

I did digging into the void of online forums and found a fix. Apparently if a persons username has a symbol in it such as a hashtag or a period it breaks the links on their characters. Removing the symbol from their username fixes this

[sacred wharf]

when hovering over the view link it had the campaign link show up, but that is fixed now

[past field]

I did everything for my character but it's saying it's incomplete what do i do yall

[uneven lantern]

You need at least your Race, Class, and Ability Scores to be considered complete.

[past field]

I did

I set everything up

[uneven lantern]

Which ability score method did you use?

[static folio]

DnD Beyond Support messed up and deleted the wrong account and I lost my main. Thankfully both of my characters were joined to campaigns so they are still there, just connected to a non-existent account. Is emailing support the only way to talk to someone and get this sorted out?

[edgy oriole]

Yeah that would be a contact customer service thing - sorry to hear that they deleted the wrong account.

[static folio]

Thanks for the information, and yes, it was very disappointing.

[smoky hatch]

Help I wante dto access the Volvo guide to buy Scourge Aasimar but I can't see to get to it each time I do I am brought to this page
https://www.dndbeyond.com/legacy#ScourgeAasimar

The introduction of Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse to the Dungeons & Dragons game has revised older content. Going forward, any content that does not reflect the latest rules and lore will be categorized as Legacy Content.

How do I buy Scourge to play it

[uneven lantern]

The updated version of Aasimar can be found in Monsters of the Multiverse.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the-multiverse

[ebon minnow]

Checked my encounters again

Im seeing a very small selection of homebrew monsters, and they have nothing in common

The first was made a month or two back, the middle three like a week ago, and the last one a year back

there are a bunch of statblocks in between that arent showing

figured it out, it has to be in my collection to be visible in the encounter builder (but then my players can see the statblocks in their extra's tab, and I have a lot of NPC's whose names start with A)

[whole raptor]

you can't because they wanted to retcon the universe
you can get the new version by buying MotM

[smoky hatch]

But I wanted to go scourge. As the damage you put on yourself keeps up rage as a Barbarian

[dawn egret]

well, you can't buy it anymore. it's been discontinued.

[lone void]

Assuming you want the Radiant Consumption feature, that is part of the MotM Aasimar as an option at 3rd level

[fallen forge]

DnDbeyond wont let me re-subscribe. My old plan was active until yesterday, and it is wanting me to reactivate my subscription so that I can manage it. It will not allow me to reactive the sub so I can't get to the point of subscribing.

[silent dagger]

how often are sales on ddb

[modest pelican]

There is no set schedule

[silent dagger]

ok ty

also is it worth buying sourcebooks as digital when you already own them physically? For example, I own XGtE, is it wortht getting a digital copy?

[shrewd ibex]

If you want to use DnDB for your campaigns and character sheets, yes. I usually get the digital books first since I play exclusively online, then get physical afterward for mostly the adventure books since I have a hard time comprehending them digitally.

[silent dagger]

I normally am a Player, but I like knowing the rules

Myself and the rest of the part all use virtual character sheets

[modest pelican]

That'd be a question for #dnd-discussion

This channel is for getting support using the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services

[silent dagger]

Oh I misinterpreted the use of the channel apologies

Misunderstood the quick question part sry

[modest pelican]

s'all good

[shrewd ibex]

Hey folks! I'm trying to reskin Fey Touched for a Curse of Strahd campaign and the Homebrew creator is causing me some grief. The feat give you a free casting of two different spells, but also allows you to cast them subsequent times using your own spell slots. I can add the two spells, but I I'm having issues implimenting the free cast, plus using your own spell slots. Anyone get this to work successfully?

[modest pelican]

When casting a spell that way, you just mark off the spell slots

Integration with the spell list to allow one click spell slot usage was removed based on community feedback

[low prairie]

hi could someone help me

im currently running a campaign and my players just got sending stones as a reward

the problem is i can't add a sending stone to their inventory since it doesn't show up on the list

[modest pelican]

That is likely because they're not a free item; they're not in the Basic Rules and instead are found in the Dungeon Master's Guide

You would need to own or have access to that book via content sharing to be able to add the item to a character sheet

?books

[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

[edgy oriole]

You can also use the homebrew tools to recreate it but you may not publish it for sharing with folks outside your campaign.

[low prairie]

goddamnit, any other way to make it work? i got the dragon of icespire peak essentials kit bought irl and don't plan on buying it again online

[low prairie]

how do i make it in homebrew

[edgy oriole]

Create a new magic item and fill in the details. I mean I don't really know what else to tell you.

Or you could just buy the single item (DnDBeyond sells individual spells, items, classes, and monsters - it's much cheaper than the whole book and everything you buy gets deducted from the book if you chose to buy the whole book at some future date).

[uneven lantern]

You can also add a custom item directly on the character sheet, and give it any name and description you like.

[robust fable]

I have a weird "bug". I have a character and I'm choosing the "Increase three scores (+1, +1, +1). It's allowing me to choose Dexterity 3 times. It's fine for homebrew, but I don't want to OP my character in a game where we try to play close to RAW.

[modest pelican]

That's a known limitation of the system and why the character builder reminds you not to stack them

[spring timber]

where to i get help via staff someone is trying to scam me

[uneven lantern]

Someone on D&D Beyond?

[vivid monolith]

Yo i got the master tier subscription and im not able to access the new races and items, same for my players

any fix or am I just gonna have to sit and wait

or its only giving me access to selected books

[digital wolf]

The Master Tier subscription on its own doesn't give you access to additional D&D content. It does, however, let you enable content sharing for a campaign, which lets all content owned by anyone in the campaign group be shared with everyone else in the campaign.

[vivid monolith]

Yea my friend has all the books

[vivid monolith]

but none of it shows up

[digital wolf]

Since you are the one with the subscription, have you made sure you've enabled content sharing for that campaign?

[vivid monolith]

yep its all on

i tried resyncing it aswell by turning it off and on again

[uneven lantern]

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

[high valve]

If I'm new to dnd what character creation sheet is the best?

[uneven lantern]

If you’re asking in this channel, which is for getting help with D&D Beyond, then the answer is therefore unsurprisingly: D&D Beyond. 😜

#dnd-newcomers is a better channel for asking introductory questions about the game itself.

(Though my answer there would still be D&D Beyond anyway. )

[high valve]

Ah sorry, thank you

[azure shard]

Should the summon fey learned from the Fey Wanderer Ranger's "Fey Reinforcements" level 11 subclass feature be able to be cast at a higher level? My character page does not add it to the level 4 spell options once I hit level 13. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

[gilded lily]

Hey is there a DnD Druid class that can use guns?

[modest pelican]

This channel is for getting help with the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services. For a question like that, you want #dnd-discussion

[whole raptor]

Is it possible to download the free Critical Role content in the DDB app?

[modest pelican]

No, the app only supports official content. No third party and no homebrew support at this time

[whole raptor]

Isn't it partner content in the same category as the other Critical Role stuff?

[modest pelican]

No, it's homebrew/supported third party

Content from Explorer's Guide to Wildemount and Call of the Netherdeep is official, first party content

[whole raptor]

Interesting

[azure shard]

@modest pelican what do you think about this?

[modest pelican]

Please don't randomly ping people with your queries. If someone can offer assistance, they will

[azure shard]

Ok, sorry about that. I just didn’t want it to get buried and saw that you had responded to that other question

[uneven lantern]

The one that shows on your sheet represents the “free” use, without spending a spell slot. That use cannot be upcast, so it only shows for the base level.

You can also cast it with a spell slot, however. Most users just manually mark off the spell slot, but if you really want it to show at higher levels, you can add that using the homebrew system.

(That will show the spell twice at the base level, unless you also remove the freebie.)

[azure shard]

Ah, makes sense. I would have thought the class feature also added it to my known spells but I see what you mean. Thanks!

[fallen forge]

I just lost about 20 characters on dndbeyond because it wouldn't accept me trying to reactivate my subscription.

I would love to know where I can contact somebody to get some actual help with this

[fresh valve]

I might have a potential scam but I’m not 100% sure

[gaunt bloom]

I'd recommend contacting support with the Support form.
https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
What would you like to contact us about? D&D Beyond Assistance
What can we help you with? Subscription Help > Renewal Issues

[fresh valve]

Where would report this

[gaunt bloom]

If somebody sent you a scam PM, I recommend reporting it to Discord so that they can investigate.

[fresh valve]

Well the reason I wanted to to notify the mods on this sever is because this person made there account today, and the only sever we have in common is this sever, I thought maybe their trying to do it to other people on this sever

And if so the mods could put out a post saying it’s happening in this sever

[gaunt bloom]

Unfortunately we can't moderate what happens outside the server. Just because a user only shares this server with you doesn't mean they aren't doing it to other servers. Discord can deal with the account itself, so we recommend people report the account and interactions to them.

Also, FYI, this channel is for help with D&D Beyond. For server moderator assistance, we have #moderator-support.

[vivid monolith]

It does

The thing is that it says we have all the content shared but I dont see any of it whilst creating a unassigned character in the campaign

i only see our homebrew

[nocturne egret]

howdy all

i've got a question: if I'm a level 3 wizard, how many spells am I going to know? and what's the difference between knowing and preparing?

[opal pelican]

You don't "know" any spells. You have them in your Spellbook. Then each morning you can prepare an amount equal to your wizard level + int mod.

When you're a level 1 wizard you start with 6 spells in your book (all 1st level spells like Burning Hands or Mage Armor). When you reach level 2, you can add 2 more spells (also 1st level spells). Then at 3rd level you can add 1st OR 2nd level spells.

So, an average wizard at 3rd level might have:
3 cantrips
8 1st level spells
2 2nd level spells

Then each day they would prepare 3 (wizard level) + their int mod. So if you had +3 int, you could pick any 6 spells to prepare each day.

[nocturne egret]

Okay I think I understand

[opal pelican]

DnD Beyond allows you to add more than that though since Wizards have an ability to add spells to their book for a gold + time cost. So if you found a spell scroll or another wizard's book you could spend time and money to add them to your own book.

It makes it a little confusing on DnD Beyond since it doesn't have a hard limit like the other classes.

[nocturne egret]

right yeah that's why I was super confused

thank you for your help!

[split mauve]

I have one question I got a homebrew magic item that puts my charisma at +11. Is there any way to get the modifier above a 10

[opal pelican]

30 is the highest a stat can go.

You'd basically have to max your charisma and then give it +1 to all charisma related things for that character.

[edgy oriole]

Reminder - this channel is for technical support for DnDBeyond tools and services. Actual D&D questions are better asked in more appropriate channels.

[uneven lantern]

Can you give an example of a specific character option you’re expecting to see?

[vivid monolith]

Before when we were doing our last campaign and we had all the exact same books I would see extra races like tritons and all the monster manual races but I only see the basics and home brew we’ve used throughout the few years

and the monster manual does not appear as a source, like alot of our other books

[uneven lantern]

There are no player races in the Monster Manual.

[vivid monolith]

*guide to monsters

[uneven lantern]

Tritons were previously included in Volo’s Guide to Monsters, and now in Monsters of the Multiverse.

Who in your group owns Volo’s Guide to Monsters?

[vivid monolith]

Wait yea it’s not there gimme a sec

There is it, one of our players a while ago who played with us in the last campaign had the book and didnt join us in this new campaign

im looking at our old campaign we used when someone else was the DM and its there

man i feel dumb

[uneven lantern]

No worries! Just glad we found an answer.

Volo’s isn’t for sale anymore, but the updated versions of those races (and more) can be found here.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the-multiverse

You could get any individual race for $1.99, or all 33 for $9.99.

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

[vivid monolith]

we just reactivated his character in our old campaign, we really just had to create a new one because we use a 3rd party extension named above VTT for a tabletop experience, and we couldnt transfer DM status

[robust fable]

I was trying to google a solution but unable to find it. I dm for my nephews and their friends. One of the guys can no longer sign into his DDB account because his google account was transferred to a Google Edu license, which blocks DDB. How easy is it to transfer your email to another email? It won’t even let him sign in.

[modest pelican]

Assuming they don't have a secondary sign in such as Apple or Wizards accounts, they would need to contact customer service: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[robust fable]

Thanks for the quick response.

[wide zenith]

How do I get my homebrew spells to appear in my campaign's player's character sheets? I've created some HB spells, saved them under all the default class types, but the spells don't appear in the list in character creation.

[modest pelican]

The character sheets need to have homebrew content enabled

[wide zenith]

(double checks) It is enabled

Nevermind. Just fixed it. The spell level was higher than the player's. That's why I couldn't see it. *Facepalms.

[humble flower]

I'm having trouble buying the player bundle on dnd beyond. Any ideas?

[edgy oriole]

How are you trying to purhcase it? Via the mobile app or through the website marketplace?

[humble flower]

The website

[edgy oriole]

Are you getting any error message when trying to complete the purchase?

[humble flower]

Yes

[edgy oriole]

One thing to watch out for is to make sure your address matches exactly what your purchasing card has for your address (e.g. make sure your credit card billing address matches the address you put into DnDBeyond exactly.)

[humble flower]

Ok

[edgy oriole]

Another thing to check is with the card issuer - sometimes some banks will flag DnDBeyond purchases because it doesn't fit your normal purchase patterns

So you may need to contact the bank/card issuer and explain that you're trying to purchase something on DnDBeyond and they can basically "unblock" it so you can complete the purchase.

[humble flower]

Ok thank you so much!

[fervent tundra]

im running into an issue where i can not view one of my players characters on DDB. i can view and edit all others in the campaign just not his.

[edgy oriole]

Does this user have a special character in their username or in the name of the character itself? You may need to have them change the character name or contact customer support and have them fix it from the backend. Some special characters in names can break expected functionality.

[fervent tundra]

ok thank you. i will have them look into that because they do have a # in there name

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that would cause an invalid URL.

They can request a name change here:

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-newcomers. This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site, tools, and services

[tawdry hawk]

I'm wondering if there is someone here who is experienced with creating homebrew material. I have some character creation modules on FoundryVTT and I want to see if it's possible to transfer them over to D&D Beyond or if their setup doesn't work. If anyone is open to a quick chat - I would appreciate the help!

[modern saddle]

Does anybody know why homebrew feats made by the DM that include spells (E.g. Magic initiate for Paladins) don't count the spell as being learnt when the feat is given to your player's character.

[uneven lantern]

My first two guesses would be that either the feat isn’t set up to do that correctly or the DM has access to spells that the player does not.

Are you the DM in this case? Does it work as expected on a character of your own?

[main wraith]

Hi! I’ve made my level 1 barbarian using the mobile app. Now at the character screen, under the Actions section, there is the Rage action, which includes 2 counters; I thought that after checking a counter (indicating that I am enraged), the damage would be updated, however, it remains the weapon damage + STR modifier (missing +2 from Rage). Am I getting it wrong?

[lapis geyser]

unfortunately the sheet doesnt track temporary effects

the workaround ive seen is just to create a magic item that give you the bonuses, and equip it while you're raging

then unequip once you've stopped

[main wraith]

@lapis geyser great workaround! Thank you for the swift response and suggestion.

[molten ember]

I can’t afford an entire book just for 1 race in dnd beyond (mobile), could I just identity as the race I chose/want?

[uneven lantern]

You could create a homebrew race and call it whatever you want.

Or on the website, you can buy races individually instead of the whole book.

[molten ember]

Omg thank you!!

[uneven lantern]

They’ll still work in the app, and whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

[molten ember]

You’re a life saver

[magic osprey]

I don't think so you can add it. As GM you've to just remember to roll with disadvantage on particular opportunity attacks

[modest pelican]

@copper furnace What part of the site are you trying to access? Seems to be loading fine for me

[copper furnace]

character sheet, any page i try to load is laggy

[modest pelican]

I just loaded four different characters at the same time and they all loaded in a few seconds

So it might be a local connection issue

[copper furnace]

it's loading now, so might've been just a momentary issue

oh interesting

[proven valley]

I cancelled my membership thing back during the OGL, and to renew I'm going to have to renew the membership even though its only been a few months since my last one kicked over (as I do anually) should I wait till its about to run out and THEN renew?

[dusty dust]

Hello all,

I’m trying to use Avrae for an asynchronous solo campaign and I’ve linked both my character and campaign to my text channel. However, whenever I make a roll in my ddb sheet, the results go to the private DM channel between me and Avrae, and not into the campaign text channel. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[uneven lantern]

Open the Game Log and look at the top.

There’s a thing there that says Send To (Default).

If it’s set to “Self”, you’ll get the results in a DM.

It needs to be “Everyone” to send to the channel.

(You can also change this per roll if you right-click or long-press on the dice box first.)

[dusty dust]

Thank you! Is the game log on discord or ddb?

[uneven lantern]

DDB

[dusty dust]

Thank you very much! It works through the web browser, just not through the app

[proven valley]

How do I find the share link for my character sheet on the app, if its possible?

[uneven lantern]

Should be the same deal in the app. Just open the Game Log and change the visibility.

[uneven lantern]

There’s not a built-in option for it in the app yet.

But you can select “View Character on Website” in the app and get to it from there.

[old cedar]

Hey, could I please get the link for syncing entitlements?

[wild flare]

Is there a way to bypass the level 20 cap for epic level games?

[modest pelican]

no, because there are no official rules for gameplay past 20th level and as such D&D Beyond doesn't support that

[uneven lantern]

Magic items only include an attack if it’s a weapon.

You can pair it with a homebrew feat if you need some more flexibility there.

[uneven lantern]

Check out #find-a-game for instructions.

[uneven lantern]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[solid folio]

ooh, a feat?

[graceful belfry]

Probably answered many times, but how does one go about upgrading Hero to Master Tier through Apple?

[final badger]

How would you go about adding a subclass feature like this?

When you reach the 6th level, the destruction you leave in your wake is unmendable. Whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can force it to unleash its inner destruction. It must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC=8+ your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus). On a failure, you can choose to inflict it with one of the following effects:
• It feels the need to unleash violence. On its next turn, it must use its action to make a weapon attack. If the attack is made against anyone other than you, it takes 1d10 fire damage.
Its inner rage is boundless. It takes 2d10 fire damage, and the next weapon attack the creature makes against you is a critical hit.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Specifically, adding two options that do different amounts of damage, and that both contribute to a limited use number

[uneven lantern]

So rollable attacks and limited uses are both added using Actions.

But there's not a way to have two separate Actions use a shared Limited Use pool.

So you can either assign those to one Action or the other, or create a third Action just for tracking.

Either way, the Limited Use options are a little hidden. You'll need to give your Action a Reset Type ("long rest" in this case), then save it and scroll back down to the bottom of the page.

You'll also want "Display as Attack" checked to get the dice to show.

[little plume]

Is there a way to make or add the honor and sanity ability scores?

[uneven lantern]

Not alongside the other scores.

But you could potentially set it up as a custom skill, or track it in Notes.

[floral wadi]

content sharing is enabled, my entitlements are in sync, but I still get players telling me they can't see races that should be there!

I literally have to make their characters for them

[dusty turret]

One of my players made a character and we just realized that their spell attack and spell save dc calculation is wrong. DDB for some reason added an extra 3 to each when it shouldnt

[opal pelican]

What races are missing? And are they making the characters in a campaign you're in?

[opal pelican]

Do you have a link to the sheet?

DnD Beyond by default does everything correctly for the most part. It's possible that the player manually added something by mistake.

[floral wadi]

only races from the SRD are present for them, and I have content sharing enabled, I am the DM for the campaign and they are in it

all source were switched on

[opal pelican]

They made the character from the campaign menu?

The character has to be attached when they create it not after.

If they just click on new character it won't show the things you're sharing.

Or they can make one then assign it to the campaign

[floral wadi]

Yes they made it from the campaign menu

[opal pelican]

For example these two characters of mine are in a campaign

And it's YOU that owns the content correct? It's not being shared from someone else?

Like you purchased the options on your own account?

[floral wadi]

Yes. It's something wrong on D&D Beyond's end, not ours. I am 100 quadrillion percent sure.

[opal pelican]

And you have the master tier subscription?

[floral wadi]

yes

[opal pelican]

What races aren't there? Like just name one.

I know you said only srd.

I guess if you don't want to talk it over and are sure it's on DnD Beyond then you need to put in a support ticket.

They are answered in the order they get them, so might be a day or two sometimes.

[floral wadi]

goblin

[opal pelican]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace
So here you can see you bought Monsters of the Multiverse or the older version of goblin?

If so and they're in the campaign I don't know what else it could be.

I try to help

And you said you checked the content enabled

[dusty turret]

Sorry I just found out what was wrong! Double charisma spell casting cause of the homebrew race

It has now been fixed

[opal pelican]

Haha, that's broken as a race! Glad it's fixed now

Anyone else getting the access denied error code when trying to look at the pdf character sheet and how do I fix it

Tablet or computer players?

[ivory dagger]

I have a character that can't join campaigns and I'm not sure why, my other character can join them.. they aren't in another campaign and I can view their character sheet so they are a completed character..

[floral wadi]

wait so let me get this straight, I'm in the wrong place, I should just be submitting a ticket right?

[lone void]

I'm not sure what your issue is, so can't answer your question

[floral wadi]

the content sharing is wonky, we went through a bazillion questions about what we might be doing wrong on our end

[lone void]

Well if you have gone through the usual questioning, then contacting customer support is probably the best shout. Just be aware that if you already have a ticket and you submit another, you get bumped down the queue to the new ticket

[floral wadi]

I have never submitted a ticket before

wait that's not true, I just remembered I did for the encounter builder when it wouldn't delete some encounters once in awhile

but that hasn't happened again in a very long time

[sinful cliff]

Hi, I have bought some books and sets physically, how can I get their features in DnD Beyond ?

[edgy oriole]

There is no connection between a physically bought D&D book and access to DnDBeyond features unless you bought a special combo bundle from the Wizards of the Coast's online store that specifically comes with DnDBeyond keys along with the shipped physical product.

That said, you can buy just specific things (classes, races, spells, items, etc.) by going to the DnDBeyond marketplace and, under the specific book, scrolling down to the a la carte purchasing options.

Anything you buy this way will be deducted from the full book price if you do decide to buy the DnDBeyond book.

Another option is to use the DnDBeyond homebrew tools to create the things you need - just remember not to publish them and make them available to the wider community (you can use unpublished homebrew in your games and campaigns).

[grizzled hearth]

Is it a known fault that if you choose superior technique it doesn’t give you an option to choose any battle maneuvers

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

Goodmorning

I just joined and downloaded the beyond app. I created my character and I don’t know what to do now

[gaunt bloom]

The app is a game companion app, not a game itself. To join a game, you can look for one in the #750812887697588356 or #looking-for-players channels. To post in #750812887697588356, follow the instructions in #find-a-game.

[loud wren]

Sooooo

Like I don’t have books and kits for the game

Can I play online?

[gaunt bloom]

Sorry for the late reply, had to step away. Playing methods largely depends on the group, though most groups advertised in our looking for games section will be online games. It's very possible to find a group that has a campaign with content sharing available so that you can get access to more books.

[little plume]

How bad would it be to use art by someone as your character picture without purchasing it?

[modest pelican]

That's not a question for this channel, this channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site, tools and services

[wispy aspen]

Q: If one's DM discontinues their Beyond subscription, what happens to your characters in their campaigns?

[modest pelican]

Any content being shared with you will remain on your sheet with the exception of spells (due to how the system manages spells)

You will not be able to add any previous shared content and if you remove any shared content, you will not be able to re-add it

[wispy aspen]

Hmm ... so if I used up 6 character slots to make leveled up versions of my character, I should be able to access them all, except for spells?

[modest pelican]

yep

[edgy oriole]

This channel is for tech support for DnDBeyond tools and services. I suggest checking out #dm-discussion

[little plume]

Oh sorry!

[pure cloak]

That’s unfortunate.

[versed cobalt]

Hello I'm new to dnd but I downloaded dnd beyond and I made my character and I was wondering if I could join someone?

[surreal willow]

Tying to find Custom Lineage but i cant seem to find the option

[dawn egret]

Do you own Tasha's?
If you do not, is the character in a campaign with content sharing turned on?
If either of the above is true, are your entitlements in sync?

[surreal willow]

I dont have tashas

Can i buy it without getting the book like seperate

[dawn egret]

unfortunately no, you have to buy the whole book for it, and the Optional Class Features

[surreal willow]

Dam

@dawn egret did they remove ability score increase on it?

[dawn egret]

no.

[surreal willow]

@dawn egret i only see this

It says +2 to ability score in description but wont let me choose

[dawn egret]

yes... because it's not going to be there. it's going to be under Abilities.

[surreal willow]

Bruh when they change that

[eager osprey]

This channel is for getting technical help with D&D Beyond. For rules questions, please direct them to #dnd-rules

[steady thunder]

so has anyone else had problems with dndbeyond opening my characters on chrome?

[edgy oriole]

Not here on my end. But browser extensions, VPNs and adblockers have been known to interfere with DnDBeyond.

So try disabling any such things.

Also maybe try a completely different browser like Firefox and see if the issue persists or not.

[tough lava]

My brother’s cleric for some reason does 1d8 + 6 healing? But his spell modifier is +3
Why is this happening?

Oh wait it’s because of the disciple of life trait

Disregard me lol

[worthy scarab]

hey there is there a way to download the character sheets and print tem out?

[opal pelican]

You can export them as PDFs

[worthy scarab]

how? if i click on the character and go to share i just can make a link to it

[thorn sandal]

In the character sheet settings, on the "What's next?" tab

[stray pivot]

does anyone have a campaign i can join

[thorn sandal]

Check #looking-for-players

[worthy scarab]

ahh thanks 😅

[thorn sandal]

No problem! I understand, it makes sense that it might be something under "Share"

[south spoke]

Whats with the on going issue with "My Characters" I have sent in two tickets on the D&D Beyond website and have received no response back outside the automatic one. I am unable to access the My Characer portion of the website on my PC. I have tried clearinig history and cache and still nothing.

it would be nice to receive something back or that they have at least acknowledge that there is a problem that they are trying to figure out.

[thorn sandal]

Tickets are answered in the order in which they are received. We highly recommend you don't submit multiple tickets, as that resets your position in the waiting queue. There doesn't seem to currently be an issue with the page for other people, so all I can do is ask that you please be patient until they can get to you to try to help. 🙏🏻

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you open that page, exactly?

[south spoke]

this is what my screen looks like when i try to open the page

[south spoke]

Sorry i have only sent in one ticket but replied to the one email saying that it was recieved i have yet to hear anything else at this time

i can access everything else without a problem but the my characters is no luck

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in Incognito mode, or another browser?

[south spoke]

yes i have tried those things as well

my mobile side of things works just fine its just on my PC

[uneven lantern]

Are you using a VPN or any security software like Kaspersky?

[south spoke]

no i just tried it on my kids laptop and was able to get into it so its something with my pc going to trouble shoot the night away

[steady wadi]

Hello can someone help me to find the roles chanel I can't find it

[uneven lantern]

Right at the top of the channel list. (If you don’t see it, you may need to update your app.)

[steady wadi]

Gotcha need to update thanks 👍

[rough mango]

Hey can someone help me make an item in dndbeyond have the stats and effects but need someone to port it to dnd

[opal pelican]

What's it like?

[opal pelican]

Does dedicated weapon from monk not work on blowgun?

Here's my sheet

https://ddb.ac/characters/99638049/0AwPgI

[dire charm]

You're wearing armor, which might affecting your monk abilities.

[opal pelican]

That should just affect level 1 stuff

[dire charm]

Dedicated weapon is based on martial arts.

[modest pelican]

@opal pelican Your character has a lot going on, what do you think you should be seeing?

If anything, there's a +1 to attack/damage you're getting that I'm not sure where it's coming from

To hit: Prof+dex+archery fighting style = +9, you have +10
damage 1+dex = +4, you have +5

[dire charm]

The blowgun should be doing 1d4+ damage and it's doing flat

[modest pelican]

Oh, it's infused, there we go

blowguns do 1 damage

https://www.dndbeyond.com/equipment/blowgun

[dire charm]

That's without dedicated weapon.

[modest pelican]

Hmm, let me double check as martial arts might only replace damage dice

[opal pelican]

But I made it my dedicated weapon so it should be able to do 1d4 damage per my martial arts thingy

I took off the armor in case that was it.

[modest pelican]

No, you're right, it should have d4 instead of 1 damage, same as unarmed strikes

[opal pelican]

Derric was right that it wouldn't change it in armor however.

[modest pelican]

Passed that along

[dire charm]

I'm not sure DnDBeyond ever applies martial arts to ranged weapons even though it should, I've seen that happen on my monk's dart as well.

[opal pelican]

Thanks Davyd. Blowgun is a very stupid weapon so I don't blame the dev team for overlooking a very niche case.

[dire charm]

Basic martial arts only applies to melee weapons.

[opal pelican]

I wonder if I added kensei levels if that fixes it.

[modest pelican]

Ah, you're right derric

shortswords and any simple **melee **weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property.

[dire charm]

Dedicated weapon is intended to allow for ranged weapons, but that might not be reflected in the coding.

[opal pelican]

Kensei also doesn't work with it even after selecting it as my kensei weapon.

[modest pelican]

I'll pass this along

[steel atlas]

is there someone I can chat for most basic things total new player here

[dire charm]

Sure, what do you need.

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-newcomers

[steel atlas]

I was told by someone in that group to come here. 😦

[dire charm]

DnDBeyond has a specific system set up for homebrew.

If you want you can just pm me and I can help you out.

[modest pelican]

That person was incorrect

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

[granite thicket]

Hey there. Trying to print out characters to pdf, but when I use the Export to pdf/Click to Download, nothing happens (Android phone). I've done a search and can't find it anywhere. Any thoughts for a technology deficient person? 😁

[eager osprey]

Have you checked your downloads folder?

[pure hedge]

Hey, is the Graviturgy subclass for wizards on DNDbeyond? I’m a newbie but i can’t find it anywhere

Scrap that, got told it was a part of critical role, found it

[granite thicket]

Yep. Not there...

Apparently it works through the website, but not the app.

[dense viper]

My experince with the mobile app is "Whatever you want to do might as well do it on the website. Because Im going to open the website anyway"

[modest pelican]

@granite thicket where on the app are you selecting to download the pdf? Just so I can see if I can reproduce the issue

[modest pelican]

Maybe better suited to #ddb-feedback

[modest pelican]

@granite thicket thanks, that looks like an issue with the apps native browser. Does the link work?

[granite thicket]

Yeah, the click to copy appears to work. I can paste it to a note, it makes it a link, then I can open a sheet in Google Drive

[modest pelican]

Okay, I've passed that along

[little plume]

Help, pls. I need to unlink my Discord account from DDB. How do I do it, and can I even do it?

[opal pelican]

That's a way different question than what you asked.

You want to delete your account or are you just trying to unpair from Avrae or something?

[little plume]

If one won't work, then the other

[opal pelican]

Here you should be able to change your settings

https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

You can change your linked accounts.

[little plume]

The thing is, I have one discord account, but also I have Google linked for login

I'm asking because, Avrae thinks that Hex spell is behind a paywall, when it's a PHB spell

[opal pelican]

PHB IS a paywall

[little plume]

Because the account I'm using rn isn't linked with my current account

[opal pelican]

Only srd stuff isn't behind a paywall

[little plume]

And I'm on a content share

[modest pelican]

@little plume It sounds like you're jumbling up a bunch of different issues, you might want to slow down

[opal pelican]

Hex isn't free.

You need to purchase the PHB or be sharing with someone who does own it for Avrae to access it.

[little plume]

I just want, to unlink my Discord from one account and link it to a different one

[opal pelican]

The link I provided allows you do that.

[modest pelican]

No it doesn't

[opal pelican]

It doesn't ?

[modest pelican]

No

[little plume]

I want to unlink, not link a different Discord

Because I don't have a different Discord

[opal pelican]

Did you read what I wrote about hex?

[little plume]

Look

[opal pelican]

I think there's some confusion here.

[modest pelican]

@opal pelican Please stop, while you're well intentioned, this is getting heated

[little plume]

The character I'm imported in Avrae with is in a content share campaign. But this Discord account isn't linked to the account that my character is created in

[modest pelican]

@little plume If you head to #ddb-avrae-help, they can assist with changing your linked account

[little plume]

Just tell me how can I delete an account, if I can do it even. It'd be easier than this linking shizz

[uneven lantern]

The thing is that normally you can unlink it from the page nasada shared, but there's unfortunately a known issue there preventing that at the moment.

[little plume]

so what's the issue, then?

[modest pelican]

The issue is that you can't unlink, only change linked accounts

[little plume]

so, extrapolating from that, I assume you can't delete accounts altogether?

[uneven lantern]

You'd need to contact customer support for either solution:
https://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

Unless you've got a second Discord account, maybe. 🤔

Then you might be able to change the linked account on the one, then add the link on the other.

[modest pelican]

That would likely be the quickest solution

[little plume]

No, I have not

also, what's an order number from account?

[modest pelican]

That would be the number you received with your order, which makes me think you might have selected the wrong support option?

[little plume]

Uh, I selected DnD Beyond Account Deletion

because that's what I wanna do

[modest pelican]

That's an optional field, you can ignore it

[little plume]

Okay

and filed

[timid canopy]

How come I can't message in looking for players or looking for dm channels?

[thorn sandal]

#find-a-game explains how to use them

[elfin harbor]

I bought the war forged Race and it won’t let me share it dispute having the highest subscription. I don’t need to buy the whole sourcebook do I ?

[uneven lantern]

Did you enable Content Sharing for the campaign you want to share it in?

Is the other player’s character assigned to that campaign?

Do they have Eberron Content enabled for that character?

Are your account entitlements in sync? Are theirs?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[elfin harbor]

I have solved the problem they can’t have the same character in two campaigns .

[gloomy gorge]

Picking the superior technique fighting style doesn't give me an option to choose a maneuver
