How is my homebrew has views on it when it's not even published?

modest pelican
#

Homebrew in your collection is automatically shared with anyone you're in a campaign with.

Homebrew is automatically added to your collection when you create it

Hey, I've been working on a homebrew race for a character of mine, and I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to actually implement the ideas I have. There's so many dropdown menus and vague explanations that it all feels really intimidating. So if someone could help me out, maybe walk me through what to do and where to go, (and maybe help me with refining and balancing my ideas, but that's not necessary,) that would be greatly appreciated.

uneven lantern
#

The best general advice is to find something official that works similarly to yours. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how they set it up.

#

Where exactly are you stuck, though?

Hi, wondering whether anyone can point me in the right direction. I want the party to play games of chance, and was wondering if there was an online multiplayer dice roller that supports hiding and unhiding individual rolls? E.g. first roll is public, second, third, and fourth are hidden, last is public, and at the end of that round all of the hidden dice become public?

#

Is that something that Avrae can support? I read the docs but didn't see anything that would allow hiding and later revealing a roll.

modest pelican
elder seal
#

Thanks, I'll try that. Any other dice rollers that may have this capability?

modest pelican

#

How do I go into one of my player's character sheets and give them a spell beyond what they can cast normally?

elder seal
uneven lantern
#

They could set the roll visibility to “DM Only”, which would allow you and them to see the result but not anyone else.

#

There’s no option to reveal it later, though, other than you simply telling everyone what you see.

This isn’t directly related to D&D beyond but I went in to add my pronouns here because I realized I hadn’t added them and now I’ve lost access to like half the channels, I tried to choose the interest boxes to get more again but I’m still at like half of the public channels
Edit: I just realized how I can fix this sorry

Would this be the place to get help with my DDB Subscription? I am subscribed but cannot access anything with my subscription. When I click the link to my subscription it sends me to the "Start your free trial" page. when i click start, it sends me to itunes...

uneven lantern
#

What specifically are you unable to access?

crisp peak
#

I paid for Master tier but I can't access anything to do with the subscription.

#

it just tells me to start my free trial

uneven lantern
#

Again, what specifically are you unable to access?

crisp peak
#

"My Subscription"

#

takes me to "Start your free trial" and shows me as signed out.

How does one add chronurgy spells to subclass spell books? (Intent to add to bladesinger spellbook)

uneven lantern
#

You can make a homebrew copy of that subclass. Add it to “Additional Spell List” in a new or existing class feature.

wooden obsidian
#

So I know the only "organization" of encounters is by the campaign you they are associated with, is there any way to associate an encounter with a campaign after creating the encounter?

uneven lantern
#

Edit the encounter, click Manage Characters at the top, then select your campaign.

wooden obsidian
#

OK thanks so much

slender meteor
#

hi i was wondering if someone could help guide me in making a subclass? Im new tom aking homebrew on ddb

uneven lantern
#

Where exactly are you stuck?

slender meteor
#

so basically. im trying to create a subclass in which i know the player im building it for is into them but for a suprise. I built it but the descriptions not showing in the character sheet.

slender meteor
uneven lantern
#

Not showing where? Under Features & Traits?

slender meteor
#

yeah

uneven lantern
#

So in the editor, look for a field called Snippet instead. That’s the part that will show directly on the character sheet.

#

It’s usually a shorter version of the Description.

#

The full Description is shown in the sidebar when you click on the feature.

slender meteor
#

ahh

#

okay let me try that i'll let you know if it still doesnt work.

slender meteor
uneven lantern
#

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

slender meteor
#

ahh i see. when i do click the archtype it doesnt show there either

uneven lantern
#

I’m not available for a call at the moment, though.

slender meteor
#

its ok

uneven lantern
slender meteor
#

the class level where optioins are known. do i fill that out for the level the option is for?

uneven lantern
#

Or you can select one of the official subclasses as a template when you create your homebrew. That’ll give you an exact copy, so you can peek inside and see how it was set up.

uneven lantern
slender meteor
#

so if i add a new option such as a thing called swift strikes

uneven lantern
#

“Required Class Level” controls when they’re given the feature itself.

#

Options are used when you want to give the player a choice.

#

Like battle master maneuvers.

#

Is swift strikes something they choose or something they just get automatically?

slender meteor
#

so so far i get this(test character)

image.png
uneven lantern
#

And what are you expecting to see there?

slender meteor
#

one of the abilities called swift strikes

#

which i have saved in the subclass

image.png
uneven lantern
#

How long ago did you add that feature to the subclass?

slender meteor
#

like 3 days ago

uneven lantern
#

What did you put for Required Class Level and for Feature Type?

slender meteor
uneven lantern
#

Additional is your problem, then.

slender meteor
#

ahh do i have to do granted

uneven lantern
#

That’s for Optional Class Features, from Tasha’s.

#

If you want them to get it automatically, then yeah, it should be Granted.

slender meteor
#

ahh thanks

Hi

#

anyone here knowing how can I use DDB and VVT, but only using Beyond card?

uneven lantern
#

What do you mean by “Beyond card”?

fickle ravine
#

Hi, I'm trying to sign up for D&D Beyond with google but it's not working and I was wondering if anyone else has been exprincing the same thing

#

or if there is anyway to fix it

uneven lantern
#

In what way is it not working?

fickle ravine
#

Well I wold tap on Sign up with google and it doesn't load the screen or take me to a new place but the other opitons like sign up with Apple or Wizards works

#

all though I don't have accounts to either of them

#

I have tried reloading the page and that doesn't help either

uneven lantern
#

Make sure you’ve got popups enabled.

#

And if you’re using Chrome, you’ll need to enable Third Party Cookies as well.

fickle ravine
#

how do you do that?

#

I am on Macbook and I don't know how to do any of that

uneven lantern
fickle ravine
#

thank you!

novel vector
#

Hey so if other people have a book with content you want but you literally don't have enough to purchase the book is there a way to like 'borrow' the content from a person who has it or anything?

#

I really wanna make my path of the zealot barbarian but god damn i don't just have £30 lying around being a 16 year old high school kid and all

modest pelican
#

You can buy just Path of the Zealot for $1.99

#

Alternatively, there's content sharing via a master tier subscription

uneven lantern
novel vector
#

wait so can other people share content with me?

uneven lantern
#

You’d need to be in a campaign together.

#

Someone would need to own that book (or the subclass).

#

And someone would need to get a Master Tier subscription and enable Content Sharing for that campaign.

#

You’d then be able to use it for your character in that campaign.

novel vector
#

but I wouldn't be able to use that character outside of that campaign?

uneven lantern
#

No, you’d need to own it yourself for that.

#

But like Davyd said, you can get just the subclass for $1.99 if that’s all you want.

#

Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself as well.

novel vector
#

I don't even fully know if I'm gonna stick with D&D as a hobby super long term yet so I don't really wanna spend money on it

#

I'm tryna recreate a character on D&D beyond that I initially made on Roll20 so ig I'll just get the printable version of the character sheet saves as a PDF and use that instead of anything else cause the DM is gonna delete that campaign which I think will include the character as well

#

How can I add characters that I create to a campaign that I’m DMing for?

Can I have them available for use by “drop-in” players to the campaign?

uneven lantern
#

You can create them directly inside the campaign by clicking “Create Unassigned Character”.

#

If you created them already, use the invite link at the top of your campaign page — the same link you’d send your players — to add them instead. Once it’s added, click “Unassign” to make it available for your players.

#

When your players use that invite link, they can then choose any unassigned character, add an existing character, or create a new one.

#

How do you work the finding a dm stuff?

uneven lantern
restive fiber
#

Hi, I'm dming a campainn and using Beyond... I made a character/npc outside the campaign, can I move it inside the campaign to use it on encounters?

little plume
#

You can import characters on the campaign screen in Dndbeyond.

#

If you're talking about a pre-built encounter on beyond, i've never tried to import a character to one. I would just have a separate tab opened w/ that char sheet pulled up if you can't put them in your encounter.

#

If you put them in the campaign the other players in your campaign will see their sheet.

restive fiber
#

Oh I see, I don't want them to see this character's sheet... but where is the button to import characters? Can't find it?

little plume
#

Don't worry about importing it to your campaign if you don't want them to see.

#

just have a tab opened w/ that char sheet on your computer or print it out.

#

If you import a char to your dndbeyond campaign all players in that campaign can access much of the sheet.

restive fiber
#

all right... That's a shame tho, It would be great to be able to include this character on the encounters/ initiative list

little plume
#

I'm sure at some point that will be an option. The last time i messed with it it was more that i could see/manipulate the PC's char sheets and they could see each others(Minus background info).

#

You can always create a 2nd account, add a character(from dndbeyond account 2) to your existing campaign, and see what the 2nd account can see. Good way to test w/o your players knowing.

#

Can have at least 5-6 chars free if i'm not mistaken.

restive fiber
#

Another way is to just add another blank player to the encounter builder, call it the npc, give it's hp point and just roll with it

little plume
#

I've never used the encounter builder so that's good to know!

restive fiber
#

there's also an "manual entry" button after you created the encounter. where you can add other players and monsters afterwards. and manual input it's hp, initiative, ac etc... that works well enough

#

thanks man. I'm just starting to use beyond, pretty good tool. just need a few more features to be perfect

little plume
#

I haven't used it much for running a campaign besides managing PC character sheets. For my own character creations though, i prefer it over any other site.

ionic crane
#

With homebrewing a race, every time I try to create an Ability Modifier of STR +2, CON +1, it keeps changing this as Ability Modifier OPTIONS that the player can choose to other abilities upon character creation. How do I list it where it can't be changed from STR +2 and CON +1?

uneven lantern
#

All you need is a couple Modifiers.

#

Type: Bonus
Subtype: Strength
Fixed Value: 2

#

Then another for the CON.

ionic crane
#

Subtype Strength "Score"?

uneven lantern
#

Yeah

ionic crane
#

Ok. I think it was the fact that I was choosing "Score Bonus"...after experimenting with "Increase Stat by 2" option.

uneven lantern
#

(Just note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to show up on your character sheet.)

cyan token
#

How do I add a table to a homebrew item?

#

gloomy gorge
#

Since volo's guide to monsters is now legacy content and no longer able to be purchased, is it allowable to publish a clone of the mind blade as a homebrew?

edgy oriole
#

Not published for public to use - okay to recreate for personal use.

#

In other words you can recreate it for personal use but not publish it for others to use.

uneven lantern
#

More broadly: users can only publish their own original creations.

gloomy gorge
#

I just thought circumstances like this might be an exception since, you know, y'all still refuse to take my money for some reason

#

I did manage to find this but I have no idea how out of date it is

The DM of a campaign will be able to select which homebrew is in use within their campaign and this includes any homebrew items they have created, whether they have made them public or not. This functionality isn't complete yet, so please be patient with that.

uneven lantern
#

Anything in your My Homebrew Collection will be shared with any campaign you’re in.

#

Removing it from your collection is the only way to prevent it from being shared.

little plume
uneven lantern
#

If it was a homebrew you created, you’ll still be able to find it in My Homebrew Creations instead.

uneven lantern

#

Correct. You are a hexblood

But don't I get to keep certain features of a tiefling?

If that is my origin.

uneven lantern
#

The Ancestral Legacy feature details what you’d get from a previous race, if any.

little plume
uneven lantern
#

If you started the game as a Tiefling with a flight speed and became a Hexblood during the game, you can manually add the flight speed on the character sheet itself.

little plume
uneven lantern
#

(If you started the game as a Hexblood, that flight speed would not apply.)

#

But just go to your sheet, click your Speed, and you can add that in the sidebar.

Is there a way to manually adjust your skill proficiencies ?

I might go play a D&D 5E one shot at an RPG pub in town for the first time. I used to work for TSR/WoTC through 3E, but have left the franchise behind for most of the past two decades. I'm inclined/inspired by the first character vision that popped up as a Ranger shepherd, a (my) Cattle Dog at his side, with the likeness of something like a Jason Statham presence. Level 5.

What're some of the best builds? I'm a fan of archery, and I would be amused by builds that pump up the pup. Feel free to ping or message me, thanks guys.

little plume
lethal coral
#

I did literally see that as one of the first things that popped up in my search, but I'm more the physical approach. I would even sacrifice the Ranger magic for more whatever's put into my pup

little plume

You could perhaps multiclass.

#

Ah, ok. Let me look into it.

#

That won't work

#

Homebrew is not listed in their profile

Hi! I need help and hope this is the right channel for it
So I have an oath of the open sea paladin lvl 3 and my dm approved this:
Gentle repose, prayer of healing, warding bond, spirit shroud.
As the optional paladin spells
but when i flip the little thing in dnd beyond it doesnt appear in my spells or anywhere else
and when i try to manually add them it isnt on the list

Do you have access to Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, either having purchased it or it being shared with you?

#

hes offline rn so i cant ask

modest pelican
runic carbon
#

i can

#

this is all that shows up on my sheet

modest pelican
#

They'll appear on your spell list and you can choose to prepare them

#

They're not automatically addced to your character sheet

runic carbon
#

theyre not on my spell list

modest pelican
#

Can you link me to the character?

runic carbon
modest pelican
#

Your character can only cast 1st level spells and the optional spells start at 2nd level

runic carbon
#

ah i see

#

when i lvl up i should be able to cast them right?

modest pelican
#

You should be able to prepare them once you are able to cast 2nd level spells, yeah

No, even the official items don't do that yet.

Would there be a way to triple hp?

uneven lantern
#

Can you explain a little more?

dapper lotus
#

For a heavily homebrewed PvP campaign, I have decided to triple the hp of every player, which would apply after every other bonus to hp like constitution, tough feat, etc (I can't actually name any more...)

uneven lantern
#

For that, they'll need to go into their character settings and change the Hit Point Type to manual. Then on the Class tab, they can click Manage HP to set the required amount.

dapper lotus

Ah, makes sense. Thanks

modest pelican

@fresh juniper Check the following with your wizard player:

Been having an issue for some reason the homebrewed version of the dunamancy spells are being auto learned by my druid and are always prepared. I wanted to make it so they would still appear just not be always prepared. Not sure what I did wrong

uneven lantern
#

I would imagine you put a subclass in the "Available For Class(es)" field.

#

You could either change that to druids in general, or you could make a homebrew copy of your subclass and add those spells under "Additional Spell List" instead.

The fastest way to get help would be to just ask the questions directly and see if anyone can answer them.

Yes, it would be here, but rather than asking for someone it would be fastest to just ask the question.

last night i made an item on dnd beyond for a campaign im in and went all out with pictures and everything and it will show up for me, but not for others in the same campaign. im the only one who will use it, but i want them to be able to look at it too instead of me sending screenshots. Its published, in my homebrew collections and their homebrew button is turned on.

modest pelican
#

Apologies, I misread your query

hoary rapids
#

so do i need to take the pictures out for it to show up to them?

modest pelican
#

No, pictures won't stop it being shared, they just won't show up

#

Is the issue that they can't add it to their sheets?

hoary rapids
#

they cant even look at it, i did a few hours of work getting everything to work and it kinda sucks if they cant even look at it

modest pelican
#

And they're in a campaign with you?

hoary rapids

yes

modest pelican
#

If it's published, anyone should be able to look at it

hoary rapids
#

can you see if you can look it up? its called malignatas, might of the machinations +3

#

with it being published you should be able to see it right?

naive lodge
#

Can you post the link to it?

hoary rapids
#

it shows up on there so im not sure why they cant see it

modest pelican
#

That link loads for me which means it's published and visible. If they can't see it, that suggests an issue on their end

ill double check with them, hopefully i can get it figured out

I have googled to try and find a solution, but to no avail. Is there a way to add a spell for a character in the app if the class is not a caster? Our DM gave one of our monks a spell to cast, and i am having a hard time adding it to the app for the character.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! 😊

gaunt bloom
#

You'd have to use homebrew to grant the spell. Typically done via a feat or item.

young hull
#

What's the workflow for that? I checked the app and can't see how to do it. Sorry if that's a basic question 😬

gaunt bloom
#

Homebrew tools are available on the website, not the app.

young hull
#

Ok thank you!!

gaunt bloom
#

Once you create a homebrew item, you can assign it to a character via the app if the character has homebrew enabled.

young hull
#

Perfect. Much appreciated. You rock!

uneven lantern
#

As a bit of general advice, you might have an easier time if you find an existing feat or item that works similarly to what you want.

#

Then you can select it as a template when you create your homebrew and just change what you need, rather than trying to figure it out from scratch.

Again, you’ll probably want to use a homebrew feat or magic item.

For some reason, Tentacle of the Deep (Warlock's Fathomless) has a +3 to the damage, like the spellcasting modifier is added. I read the ability description and the +3 shouldn't be there. It's just a straight 1d8.

has anyone had issues with books going missing on dndbeyond? have purchased the legendary bundle a few years ago, and icewind dale is gone, despite using it last week

modest pelican
#

The most common explanation in a situation like that is that you purchased the legendary bundle before Icewind Dale came out, but were having it shared with you via a campaign with you realising

sharp spoke
#

Ok but we were using it last week on Dnd beyond, so that doesnt explain it

#

even still have the digital dice from it

modest pelican
#

It would if the person who was sharing it with you left the campaign that it was being shared via

#

Or sharing in that campaign was disabled

modest pelican
sharp spoke
#

No it is not showing on the DM account

uneven lantern
#

There was a free dice set for that book as well.

modest pelican
#

Also which dice? There were Icemaiden dice that were free

sharp spoke
#

Regardless, it was on the account last week and has been getting used on dnd beyond for 3 months, now its gone

modest pelican
#

Yes, which would be the case of the following happened

  1. You purchased your legendary bundle before the book released
  2. You were in a campaign that had content sharing on (you don't need to be the DM of the campaign or the person who enabled content sharing, just in the campaign)
  3. Someone else in the campaign owned the book
  4. That person left the campaign, or you left it, or the person who enabled content sharing turned it off
uneven lantern
#

Or for #4, their character was set to inactive for that campaign.

#

But like Davyd said, checking your oder history for the purchase date of that bundle is the first thing to check.

modest pelican

The way the legendary bundles work, it's not actually possible to just remove books from them

Hi, I have a question about ddb's homebrew spells and integration into the character builder. I'm a DM who's had a few wizard players reach 20 in a particular campaign, some of them spent the time to craft some homebrew spells, however, when it came time to choose spell mastery or signature spells the homebrew spells don't appear in the options list. I'm asking if anyone knows if this is an intended feature of ddb or if the spells themselves don't possess the correct tag to be added to those lists in the spells homebrew editing sections. Thanks! :D

thin cedar
calm flame
#

yes and content is shared, they've even tried using my homebrew spells and their own from our respective collections, and still doesn't show. We can all see the spells and add them to their spell lists while on the character sheet itself. But they don't show up in the character builder where you have to select the spell mastery and signature spells.

I'd assume that's a technical limitation.

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

Well, it wasn't currently running. I tried starting and restarting it a few times just now, but the manual entry creature is part of it every time. It seems like its part of the encounter itself, not that specific running

You could use a modifier to display that information in the Saving Throws section.

Novice question: what is the difference between buying a book normally on DDB vs compendium content only? Does Compendium Content only still get you the text of the book?

uneven lantern
#

The compendium is basically just book alone. The contents of that book won't be usable in other tools like the character or encounter builders.

#

Whatever you spend on the compendium does get credited toward the full cost of the book, though, in case you decide to get the rest later.

Great! I want to send the book to a friend in a different state, so this seems easier than mailing a physical book.

Add an Action to your homebrew class feature. Make sure to give it a Reset Type, then save it and edit it again. At the bottom of the page, you’ll find a Limited Use section.

#

Oh actually, for a spell you could just fill in the Number of Uses field inside there.

#

But it won’t show up in the same way as the checkboxes in your image.

Instead on the Spells tab, it would show “Use” instead of “Cast”, and the checkboxes would be shown in the sidebar when you click on the spell.

I have a weapon I'm homebrewing and need some help. Is it possible to have D&D Beyond show in the description of the weapon the calculation of a "Strength" save and me set up that save in the homebrew editor? What i mean is when typing out the description, it'd say:

"On your turn when creatures are within the radius of the Whirlwind, they must make a DC15 Strength saving throw, or be pulled into the cyclone, taking 3d12 slashing damage."

In the D&D Beyond Homebrew editor, that DC15 would be calculated with something like 8+strength modifier+prof mod

#

I'd like for D&D B to show the calculated DC rather than me have to spell it out for the player; ie, "Please Make a Strength Save equal to 8 + Str Mod + Prof Bonus"

In the editor, I do know that there is an "Insert Code block", but I don't know if that's what this is

D&D Beyond, like many websites, uses a product called AWS -- Amazon Web Services.

#

If AWS is having issues, then the sites that use it can have issues. This may be a symptom of those issues.

I'm having an issue with account connections. One of my players is trying to connect their Discord to their Beyond, but when they click "Link" it claims their Discord is already linked to another Beyond account. We have the account username and the ID, is there a way to find the email so we can attempt to reset the password and/or delete the account?

edgy oriole

I think there’s a known issue with some Discord accounts not being correctly linked/changed.

There was an issue with being able to unlink your Discord and DDB accounts, but that’s been resolved.

You still won’t be able to do that, though, if you can’t log in to your DDB account.

So contacting customer support is still the best option.

One of my players isn't getting their Aberrant Mind spells to show up on their spell list when their character is in my campaign hub, but if they join another campaign the spells show up on their spell list, even though myself and that player both own the Aberrant Mind subclass and the Tasha's spell list. What are some troubleshooting options to fix this?

boreal linden
#

I'm not using DDB, but just trying to understand someone's situation.
Do a wizard's nonritual spells appear in the spell list even if they aren't prepped?

uneven lantern
#

Yes, because a wizard can cast them as a ritual even when they aren't prepped.

uneven lantern
quartz parcel
#

And no, nobody is Content Sharing, but the player owns the class

uneven lantern
#

Does the player also own those spells? The first two are from the PHB, and the third is from TCOE.

quartz parcel
#

I will check

uneven lantern
#

But if it's working in another campaign and not yours, I'm assuming:

  • The player probably doesn't own the spells.
  • Content sharing is probably enabled in the other campaign, and someone else there owns them.
quartz parcel
#

Ah, that's the issue. The player misunderstood when I asked them if they owned everything they needed and they actually don't own anything besides Aberrant Mind subclass 🤦‍♂️

#

Cheers

boreal linden
uneven lantern
#

The opposite.

#

If a ritual spell exists in their spellbook, it will always be shown.

#

Regardless of whether they prepared the spell or not.

boreal linden
#

Rituals always appear. The other spells need to be prepped so they appear on DDB?

uneven lantern
#

Yes

#

In other words, it will show any spell you can actually cast.

#

Whether that's because you've prepared the spell or because you have a ritual spell in your book.

boreal linden
#

I see. So the player of our level 10 wizard earlier either did not prep 5th level spells or didn't bother getting them. Lmao.

uneven lantern
#

For that, you'd have to ask the player. 😅

What does this mean?

It probably means the homebrew subclass you are using did not get a feature at that level, but requires one to be published

teal oracle
#

weird... do druids get a lvl 3 feature even? nope they dont...

modest pelican
#

That is a poorly implimented work around for the level 3 druid feature requirement that is a result of the Circle of the Land having a third level feature selection

teal oracle
#

Oh so even if it says that, it doesn't do anything than just vanish once lvl 3 is hit?

modest pelican
#

Depends on how they set it up

uneven lantern
#

I mean, they could have set it to not even show there. 😅

#

So who knows what else they did?

teal oracle
#

hm okay. On a short note then, is it possible to make a statblock in the class like the steel defender? I was wondering because the steel defender levels with the character but like the tasha option for the companion for hte beast master doesnt show up

I’d suggest making a homebrew copy of Battle Smith. Then you can take a look inside and see exactly how they set it up.

So if you're logged in on your mobile device, you;re likely using the Google or Apple account associated with that device. So you can use that to know which email account and password to use to login on to the DnDBeyond website.

No, I don't need to. I'm not gonna log out anymore

Just to make sure the next time you worry about what account you used for what site and what the password is... it's handy to have it stored in a password management app (could be the ones already built-in with your phone or computer) so then you can just refer there to get it.

hey y'all, question about content sharing. Im running a little homebrew campaign that started as a simple one shot with some friends. They all made characters on DDB then joined the campaign after. I just recently purchased the players handbook, as this has been going on for a good number of weeks now, but none of my players can see any of the content from the PHB. i dont have a shared content subscription account, just the free one. is this normal? do I need the master tier to be able to have players in my campaign see that content - or am i missing something simple?

teal oracle

In the latter case, they may want to check whether Homebrew Content is enabled for that character in their character settings.

That is a frequent flyer of an obvious problem for myself because I keep forgetting it to turn on homewbrew in the HOME section xD xD

As for not knowing what optins they could use, you can write down the classes and subclasses and a short little infor about it that is given to them, which you can simply copy paste from the book to give them a first idea and later give them the access to it if they want to look through it more.

hey I was homebrewing a race whos racial is two feats but when I go to select a feat it forces me to choose the same one twice how do I fit this?

uneven lantern
#

Replacement features are optional class features like the ones in Tasha’s. A user has to opt in to that feature, at which point it replaces a Granted one.

#

If the user doesn’t opt in, they’ll see no change.

teal oracle
#

I want this to show up.

oohhhh.. okay uhm.. hm.. how would I make this show up at level 14 then? if possible even

image.png
uneven lantern
#

I don’t know of any way to make that appear conditionally.

#

I doubt it’s possible.

teal oracle
#

Hm.. then replacement with the opt in it is for now. I thought Replacement was meaning just simply that instead of the tasha features but that makes sense. but that works now, just needs to be noted then I guess.

now to figure out why a BA doesn't get a description shown even though it should be in the right places.

uneven lantern
#

If you edited that description in afterwards, you may need to simply wait. Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the character sheet.

uneven lantern
teal oracle
#

I did that about half an hour to an hour ago I believe which is a bit confusing as it normally only takes about 15min. I might just need to redo it if it doesn't show up. But here is how it looks on the sheet, in the Feature and in the Action.

image.png image.png image.png

Yeah, that looks like it’s set up correctly.

hhmm.. weird then.. I'll look at it later and if its still is like that.. guess I redo it then

(i think this question goes here, sorry if i am using the wrong channel!)
im trying to create an item i got in game, that allows me to crit on an 18-20 on attacks. is there a way to make this in the homebrew on dndbeyond, using homebrew modifiers/conditions or whatever it would be counted as? the game uses Beyond20 so ideally, id like it so that when i roll the dice, a 18-20 will show up as a crit in my VTT. normally if i add something as a feature/item in dnd beyond it will automatically consider that with Beyond20 so that is why i believe this is something on dndbeyond's side that i can do, i know there's no support offered for 3rd party stuff here.

#

i know the champion subclass works with Beyond20, so im assuming there's an option somewhere in the homebrew options of dndbeyond that calculates different ranges as crits, but i cannot find it and was looking for some help.

uneven lantern
#

You could make a homebrew copy of Champion if you want to peek inside and see exactly how it was set up.

wraith beacon
#

i did already, and there's no modifier it looks like.

uneven lantern

Since Beyond20 is not an official extension, though, I couldn’t really tell you anything about how it works from their side.

wraith beacon
#

(sorry for the quality, had to zoom out to show it all) its just text, but no modifiers, but im also very lost when it comes to homebrewing so i was wondering if there was a feature i was missing somewhere else that increased the crit range.

#

if theres not that option thats totally fine, was just asking because i know im very bad at this haha

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, I don’t think there is an option, honestly.

I've been trying, but there's a whole lots of options that sound very similar with not much info.

If someone could even just make a feat or something that does that, that would be perfect. I don't care about the name or anything, I just an extra 6th level spell slot and 3 extra known spells.

I don’t believe it’s possible to change the number of spell slots.

For the extra spells, though, I would indeed recommend a homebrew feat.

  1. Is your character proficient in other weapons? But other than that, not sure why it won't let you. Unless you're filtering the items.
  2. Lower left on the web site view of your character sheet there's a red d20 icon. Click it to pop up a list of the different dice and click the amount of dice you need then click the roll button.
  3. There isn't a way to do custom status effects (conditions/statuses can be found by clicking the conditions box and toggling the appropriate condition).

I have cleared the cache/cookies, I don't have a VPN, and the browser is set to accept DNDB cookies. I will try disabling browser extentions for the moment. I have not tried a different browser

#

disabling extentions did not fix it

#

currently updating chrome to see if that does... it did not.

edgy oriole
#

I should note that you need the browser to accept third-party cookies as DnDBeyond relies on 3rd party services like Google and Apple for authentication. So if you don't allow 3rd-party cookies, DnDBeyond may not work correctly for you.

main garnet
#

I'll double check that

#

I set Chrome to specifically use cookies and third party cookies on DnDBeyond, and tried the Edge browser. neither worked.

edgy oriole
#

Can you try Firefox? Both Edge and Chrome use the same backend rendering engine (Chromium).

#

The only other thing I can think of is super aggressive antivirus deciding to block things

#

It's been known to happen where an antivirus application blocked important javascript on the site thus breaking functionality.

main garnet
#

I downloaded firefox and that is the ONLY browser that has worked so far!

#

I do not have a antivirus program that runs on my browser

edgy oriole
#

No but system-level antivirus has interfered before

main garnet
#

so I guess if I have to run DNDB on firefox then okay lol. damn that kinda sucks about the antivirus tho

edgy oriole
#

But what this tells me is that something on your setup is interfering with normal Chrome/Chromium-based browsers being able to use DnDBeyond.

#

A likely culprit would be any third-party antivirus system. Windows Defender is usually enough for most folks. 3rd-party antivirus are notorious for... breaking things that really didn't need to be broken.

main garnet
#

ugh. I've been using super-antivirus, it's been good as a free sweep-through on the whole computer every six months or so. I don't download a whole lot.

is there anything you'd recommend that wouldn't interfere with Chrome/Chromium?

Windows Defender is actually quite good and works well on in most cases.

So I'm trying to make a barbarian subclass. One of their features is that they get access to a couple of different abilities that are dependant on the weapon, but multiple weapons can use the same action (for example, I have a cleave skill that is used by both greatsword, a longsword and the glaive). Is there a way of making a general ability that uses the concerned weapon or do i need to make specific ones for each weapon?

uneven lantern
#

Either way, you won’t be able to tie it directly to their equipment or anything.

#

You’d just be adding a feature with the description of what they can do.

#

You’d use Options if they’re given a choice between different abilities.

#

More broadly, though, I’d suggest finding an official feature that works similarly to what you want. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how that was set up.

surreal ledge
#

Yeah true, I guess I'll just keep it general then so I don't have to make like 15 different actions 😄

#

yeah I've been trying to do that when I can but haven't been able to find it in this case, there isn't really any instance that I know of which uses "weapon-specific" actions

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, I’m not aware of any either.

#

But if your goal is for them to select “Cleave”, then I’d set the option up as that.

#

And then specify in the description which weapons it can be used with.

Go to Sourcebooks and then choose Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything. From there, you should be able to see the entire page listing out subclasses, magic items, etc. Click to purchase any artificer subclass and you should be able to buy from there.

There's only like 5 out of 50 that aren't already available in the Basic Rules.

Hi guys im looking for help with making an ability for my Homebrew subclass and i just cant seem to make it work

uneven lantern
#

Where exactly are you stuck?

orchid gulch
#

So theres 2 things

#

1st im trying to make it scale with level and im also trying to make it be 1d4 + half your barbarians level

#

And i have no clue what to type in fixed value

#

Starting at 3rd level, if you make a melee weapon attack on your turn while you're raging and the target is damaged you can add 1d4 + half your barbarian level to the attack's damage roll on a hit. You can only deal bonus damage using this feature once per turn.

This increases to 2d4 at level 6, 3d4 at level 11, 4d4 at level 16 and 6d4 at level 20.

This is the entire idea

#

What do you mean

uneven lantern
#

You want to be able to click on it and have it roll a digital d4 and add half the barbarian level to the result?

orchid gulch
#

Yes

#

Thats exactly what i want

uneven lantern
#

Then Level Scale is not what you need.

#

To make it rollable, you'll need to add an Action. Make sure "Display as Attack" is checked.

Why are the expanded spell list options for warlocks, specifically the ones of 6th level or higher unable to be chosen for mystic arcanums

#

Trying to figure out how to put gate on my boi and even though the feature is enabled it’s not showing up

#

Is it a me being silly issue or a ddb oversight

uneven lantern
#

Then after you save it, you can edit it again, and you'll find a Level Overrides option there.

#

You'll need to add a separate entry for every level at which the roll amount changes. In your case, that's every other level.

#

And the fixed value in your case would be half that level.

bold void
#

Yes

orchid gulch
#

Is there a way to specify if im under Rage?

uneven lantern
#

So at level 4, you'd set the Fixed Value to 2. Then you'd add a separate one at level 6, with a Fixed Value of 3.

#

@bold void Can you provide a link to the character?

bold void
orchid gulch
#

Scratch that, that wont matter

uneven lantern
orchid gulch
#

Ill give it a shot, thanks!

uneven lantern
#

You could potentially leave your Arcanum unselected and add the spell using a homebrew feat instead.

orchid gulch
#

Umm so adding half the barbarians level is under fixed valeu right?

#

Wait nvm i see what yo usaid

bold void
uneven lantern
#

A character link won't change anything. It's a known issue. ☝🏻

modest pelican
#

That's only for those 2 9th level spells. Leifless said that no optional spells of 6th level or higher were selectable

#

Unless it's just those two spells you're having difficulty with @bold void ?

bold void
#

It was just that

modest pelican
#

Ah. there we go then

#

Known issue

bold void
#

Weird issue

uneven lantern
#

I think due to a quirk of the rules, the others show up regardless of whether you've enabled the Optional Class Feature.

#

(i.e. they count as warlock spells regardless, so they show up naturally.)

bold void
#

Yeah I think it’s the ones that are re released in tcoe

#

They are considered warlock spells

uneven lantern
#

Whereas Gate and Weird only conditionally count as Warlock spells, and that's where Mystic Arcanum has trouble.

It wasn’t allowing me to sign into my account

uneven lantern
#

In what way does it not allow you to sign in?

trim torrent
#

My account is linked to my gmail

#

And the button to sign in with google wasn’t working

uneven lantern
#

By "wasn't working", do you mean to say that when you click the button, nothing happens?

#

And if not that, then what steps are you taking and what happens (or doesn't happen) as a result?

#

The more specific you are, the better we can help.

trim torrent
#

Nothing happens when I click it

uneven lantern
#

Then it's probably one of two things.

#
  1. Make sure you have pop-ups enabled.
  2. If you're using Chrome, make sure you have Third-Party Cookies enabled.

uneven lantern
#

Did you have the Strength in there at first and removed it after?

#

Sometimes homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes to show up on your sheet.

orchid gulch
#

Oh i had the strength in befor

#

I just removed it recently ill give it a second to update then

Ok so I am using the DND character builder for the first time. I can get to the end and all seems ok, however I don't see where my "background" (the long bit I have typed in) appaears on the character page or PDF ? am I missing something?

copy and paste your backstory into the backstory section, then it’ll be in the notes tab of your sheet

#

cause on the sheet it’ll only show your background feature, not the description of the background

trim torrent
crimson bramble

there is this "Notes" section on the character sheet, which includes a backstory section but I have no idea where, if anywhere, the "Custom Background" appears? (see my first image above)
