Hello, I have a few campaigns that I am running that have a button for content sharing (I have the legendary bundle), but I went to create a new campaign today and the cotent sharing button isn't there at all. Can someone help? Was there a change to enable it I'm not aware of? This has happened on a few others I have created as well

Screenshot of one that is showing

I also do have the master tier subscription in case someone brings that up

[edgy oriole]

Content sharing only works on up to 5 campaigns - if you're now on campaign #6, your content sharing won't work until you deactivate it on a previous campaign.

[silk bramble]

Thank you so much!

[lavish vale]

Do you need to be a DM to content share or can you be a player in a campaign and share with the campaign including the DM?

[naive lodge]

You do not need to be the DM, nor the one with the subscription. When someone enables content sharing in a campaign it shares everyone's content.

[lavish vale]

Thank you!

[proven valley]

DDB still having the Issue with Custom Background skills taking 24 hours to show up?

[naive lodge]

I've never heard of a problem like that.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it’s a known issue.

But beyond that, I have no idea where it falls in their list of priorities.

[shut vessel]

The find a game channel and everything in it confuses me

[subtle juniper]

How do I download shared content on the Website? It's not displaying the material shared with me on the site. It says it's shared with me under Shared Content.

How to join post in finding player/game/master

[edgy oriole]

As a reminder this channel is for getting help with DnDBeyond tools and services, not for help with the Discord server in general (use #moderator-support if you need help with the server). If you find a game that works for you, direct message the poster or use the thread (the message area attached just below the post) to communicate that you are interested. Ideally the poster of that game will then communicate with you either via direct message or that thread on how to actually connect and play in that game.

[edgy oriole]

Content on the DnDBeyond website is not really downloadable - shared content just means you can access it to use with DnDBeyond's tools/services or browse through and read the material if it's like a book. But it's just a website and not intended to be downloaded to your local machine/device.

[stuck charm]

i am looking for lunar sorcery sourcebook dragonlance for a character idea i have but i can't seem to find, are lunar sorcerers in d&dbeyond yet?

[lone void]

Here you go. Link to the Dragonlance book on the marketplace
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/adventures/dragonlance-shadow-of-the-dragon-queen

[subtle juniper]

I'm making a character for a campaign, all the content books are shared with me by my DM it says so under shared content but when I go to edit the character that's part of the campaign I can't find any of the content that's supposed to have been shared with me. The DM is out of ideas as well. I'm also trying to make it on the Website itself not the app.

[modest pelican]

Have you enabled Dragonlance Content?

[stuck charm]

thank you i searched dragonlance of marketplace and got nothing :)

[jagged quail]

I need some help under standing some stuff with DND. Dm me

[glacial bough]

Same I need help as well. I just started playing

[uneven lantern]

Were your questions about D&D Beyond specifically? If not, you may have the wrong channel.

#dnd-newcomers is a good place to ask beginner questions about D&D itself.

can someone help me with signing up having alot of problems

[lone void]

Can you list out your issues and hopefully someone who knows what is happening will wander by?

[clever quail]

first pic> wizard sign in > second pic>authorize> back to first pic

@lone void

[lone void]

Do you have a Wizards account and if so, can you log into it?

[clever quail]

i just created the account but cant do anything with it

can edit profile or redeem a code

[lone void]

Can you see this page?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[clever quail]

thats pic 1

and thus starts the loops i posted before ^^^

[lone void]

So I understand the situation, going to write it out

1. You don't have a D&DBeyond account
2. You do have a Wizards account
3. You want to sign up for a D&DBeyond account
   All correct so far?

[clever quail]

i believe so? unsure about the d&DBeyond account as dont know whats happening

[lone void]

What are you clicking in this first picture? The button that says "Sign in with Wizards" or the link at the very bottom "Create Account"?

[clever quail]

sign in with wizards

[lone void]

Try creating an account. Should take you to a page with a similar purple button saying "Sign up with Wizards"

[clever quail]

those pages look too identical ugh

[urban swan]

Hi. I'm using D&D beyond to manage a fighter that is about to turn level 3. I see as a choice for the martial archetype "CR Gunslinger" I can't find that in any rules. Could someone point me to which book / where it is?

[modest pelican]

It's not in any book, it's a freely available homebrew option that is available if you have Critical Role content enabled. You can find it detailed on the fighter page on D&D Beyond

[urban swan]

Oh OK lol. Hence the CR. Thank you

[dusty mantle]

I guess this is not sorted by rarity? Is legendary the rarest?

[naive lodge]

You can find the list in the DMG: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dmg/treasure#Rarity

[carmine jungle]

I have a question. Been playing with a group for about a year now, but lost the account.

Made a new I've but allot of the races and stuff are gone. Is there a way to use something online to just use with dnd beyond? Buying everything again might not be an option for some time and of the few things I enjoy- I'd hate the partial experience.

[edgy oriole]

So there's a few things to parse here. The free basic rules/SRD material is free to access, no account needed at all. A DnDBeyond free account gives you access to 6 character slots but no access to any content not in the SRD unless you purchase the books/materials on DnDBeyond or are part of a campaign with content sharing enabled and someone in that campaign has access to that book/material. A hero tier subscription unlocks unlimited chaarcter slots and the ability to add other's homebrew into your personal homebrew collection, and free subsrciber perks - but no access to any content not in the SRD unless you purchase the books/materials on DnDBeyond or are part of a campaign with content sharing enabled and someone in that campaign has access to that book/material. The Master Tier subscription gives everything the Hero tier does but also unlocks the ability to enable content sharing on up to 5 DnDBeyond campaigns.

Does that help answr your question?

[dire blade]

You might be able to open a support ticket, maybe provide enough information to confirm your identity, and then recover the old account! That would be my first thing to try if I were you.

[edgy oriole]

Yes definitely try that!

[dense bison]

is there a way to make a fighter subclass that has spellslots similar to how warlock is right now?

[modest pelican]

No, not similar to warlock

[dense bison]

is there only half or full caster then from that dropdown?

[distant stirrup]

okay so, I'm kinda confused because I've tried to complete this character many times and it still says the character is incomplete, it always sends me to this screen but idk why? Can I get some help with this??

[dense viper]

I'm sure you checked them but have you made sure all your ability scores are in?

[distant stirrup]

ah

I forgot about them

Thanks for reminding me abt them!

[shell wing]

What happened to the Sharing button on Beyond Character Sheets?

[lapis geyser]

click manage, then shareable link

[shell wing]

That's not an option.

[lapis geyser]

is that on pc or the app?

[shell wing]

PC

[lapis geyser]

strange, i'm not getting the same thing. maybe check that no addons or adblockers are interfering

[shell wing]

All my other characters still have the share button at the top.

And I'll be honest.. I have no idea how to set addons and adblockers for a specific webpage.

[lapis geyser]

is the character set to private? that would do it

[shell wing]

It was. When was that function added?

[humble maple]

how do i log in i have been trying to do this for 30 mins and it wont let me'

I'm trying to find red wizards of Thay in a DND hardcover book but im having trouble. Can someone tell me if there's a hard cover DND 5e book that has them?

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking in #dnd-discussion. (This channel is for getting technical help with D&D Beyond.)

[velvet apex]

I’m getting a 500 internal server error when I try to log in; I’ve tried using both my Apple and Google accounts, which are both connected to my D&D Beyond account, with the same result. Anything broken at the moment?

Nope, that would be #ddb-avrae-help

[upbeat mirage]

Why aren't the spells from the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount showing up in my player's list of spells to add? I'm the DM and I'm trying to give them access to Gift of Alacrity and Fortune's Favor, but I can't find them to give them.

[modest pelican]

1. Do you have content sharing enabled?
2. If yes, is the character in the campaign that content sharing is enabled in?
3. If yes, does the character have Critical Role Content enabled in their character sheet content preferences?

[upbeat mirage]

Yes to all of those.

[modest pelican]

And the character is a chronurgy/graviturgy wizard?

[upbeat mirage]

No, but I’m choosing to let them take them even though they aren’t those subclasses.

[modest pelican]

That's homebrew and thus you would need to make homebrew copies of the spells with the pcs spellcasting class added to the availablity list

[earnest bone]

I just purchased the player's handbook on DDB. Do my players get access to it if I don't have the subscription? Thanks

[lone void]

No, you need the master tier subscription to enable content sharing for campaigns

[real path]

someone in the campaign needs a subscription, can be one of the players too

[hazy tendon]

How can I change my paladins spellcasting ability to Int? DM okayed it

[dry patio]

with armour do you add your dex mod to the ac you are given from the armour so like: 16 ac from the armour plus 2 dex mod or is that not how it works

[lilac dirge]

For the homebrew coding, is it possible to only add a +1 to attacks and NOT damage rolls or is that locked?

[real path]

not possible on D&D beyond, sadly

[real path]

more a question for #dnd-rules or #dnd-newcomers

but it goes like this

light armor: add your dex mod to AC
medium Armor: add your dex mod to AC but +2 maximum
Heavy Armor: ignore dex mod

[hazy tendon]

Dang

[unique violet]

how do i post on #750812887697588356 ?

[modest pelican]

Follow the instructions in #find-a-game

[uneven lantern]

Try making a homebrew copy of your subclass and setting the spellcasting ability there.

[uneven lantern]

What kind of homebrew? And what kind of attacks?

[velvet yacht]

How do I add an action that subsequently increases unarmed strikes damage? I'm guessing you can't, but I might as well try and ask. It's a subrace feature where you can cover yourself in thorns which increases the damage, and then you can turn it off which would turn off the extra damage.

[naive lodge]

Everyone needs their own account. Please do not share age though.

[uneven lantern]

It won’t be able to change the existing unarmed strike, but you can just set it up with its own action.

Equal to whatever an unarmed strike plus the extra damage would be.

[velvet yacht]

Okay thank you.

My brain too mumbled to think of it just being a separate type of unarmed strike.

[real path]

I was totally wrong. Sorry. See the message from spamandtuna.

[bright yacht]

Last night I went through homebrews on the website and found my race I created and removed it from my collection and then readded it. All other homebrew stuff I added shows up but mine(I just tried to yet again make a character with my created Phyrexian race). I even went to only show homebrew and still not there. I still don't know why I can't create my own character with the race I created and has been approved. Yes homebrew is set to be allowed. Other than some pictures in the books I own not fully downloading, this is my only major issue with ddb. Anybody else ever have this issue. I know I have asked here and in the forum already, but I still haven't gotten an answer that helps.

It shows up only in my homebrew collection, that is it. But not when I make a character.

[lilac dirge]

Ahh for homebrew weapons, specifically the dagger

[dry patio]

at first level when you can cast spells how does that work, do you have to go to a library to learn spells to start with or do you just have them

[edgy oriole]

This channel is for getting help with DnDBeyond tools and services. Your question is better suited for #dnd-discussion or #character-discussion.

[vagrant moat]

I'm trying to add an Ascendant Dragon's Wrath Halberd to a character sheet but it appears no such thing exists on DDB, as only an ascendant Longsword appears. Am I getting something wrong? Is there a way to change the longsword to a halberd? Or will I have to make the weapon manually?

[modest pelican]

You will have to make a homebrew copy of the longsword version and modify it to be a halberd

There are too many permutations (1,600+) of that weapon for them all to be entered (it'd make finding any specific one almost impossible

[distant isle]

Question: is there an updated noobs guide to creating subclasses on Beyond? I have a homebrew doc that I would like to convert to beyond homebrew, but I can't get my head around what everything means.

[upbeat mirage]

Is there a known issue with the "Browse Homebrew Magic Items" page? I cannot use more than 1 or 2 filters without causing it to display the error page.

[edgy oriole]

It does seem to not work correctly. I can check with folks in the back and see if it's a known issue or not.

[main garnet]

I can't load my list of characters or any specific character sheet on Chrome or Firefox. I was previously able to get them to load on Firefox but now it's having the same "blank screen" problem it was having on Chrome.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure all browser extensions are disabled, clear your browser cache, close the browser fully, then relaunch and try accessing it again.

[main garnet]

That did not work.

[edgy oriole]

Are you using any 3rd-party antivirus (like say Kaspersky or Macafe) that may do "network inspection" stuff? That can, in some rare cases, break things.
Also make sure your browser's allow third-party cookies - DnDBeyond's tools and services do rely on them.

[main garnet]

When I was logging in, I did click to allow DNDB's cookies. I do not currently have any 3rd party antivirus programs.

[edgy oriole]

Hmmm. Okay let's try something. In your browser, hit F12 to bring up the web developer tools and go to the console pane. Refresh DnDBeyond and see if you get any red error messages in the console.

(Substitute F12 with whatever command brings up the browsers web developer tools)

[main garnet]

yep, got a bunch of yellow and a few red errors

[edgy oriole]

We are interested in the red ones

[main garnet]

"Pageview was not tracked: Check url and configuration." and "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The operation was aborted. "

[edgy oriole]

Okay the Uncaught DOMException tells me there is a javascript error - either something in the network or your browser is preventing something in the various DnDBeyond scripts from completing. The Pageview not tracked tells me you're stopping Google Analytics. You are not running any Adblocker or using a proxy server like a Piehole by chance? That also can break normal DnDBeyond functionality.

[main garnet]

I specifically turned off Firefox's "Enhanced Protection" thing. I have not added any adblocking either system level or as a Firefox extension. I am not using any kind of VPN

[edgy oriole]

And you've tried a different browser (after clearing cookies/cache) beyond just Firefox?

I'm starting to hit the limits of what I can troubleshoot - you may need to submit a customer support ticket and see if they have any additional insights.

[main garnet]

My default is Chrome, and I did have this issue there as well. I tried clearing the cookies and cache there as well to no avail. I do have an adblocker on Chrome, and I don't think I've tried with that off or disabled yet

but I do also know that Chrome is known to be a little funky with DNDB

[edgy oriole]

Try disabling the Adblocker in Chrome and try using it just to test.

But yeah if that doesn't work... I'd suggest submitting a customer support ticket.

[main garnet]

No luck on Chrome. I did submit a ticket before specifically for Chrome, but no sollution was found. Maybe it'll be different this time

[dusty mantle]

how do i add proficiency for pistols in a subclass?

[edgy oriole]

Drat. I was hoping we could find a working solution. Sorry we couldn't resolve it tonight - best of luck and I hope you get a working solution soon!

[main garnet]

thank you. for the moment, the phone app does work... it's just not ideal

[edgy oriole]

Make sure the subclass has firearms proficiency. Maybe see how the gunslinger class is setup on how to do that.

[dusty mantle]

oh, i gave it ranged wondered why it wouldnt work i forgot there was extra firearm proficiency

thank you very much

[edgy oriole]

You're welcome!

[dusty mantle]

do i have to add something else or just like that?

[edgy oriole]

I think that should work - again I'd check to see how the gunslinger class was setup to get an idea of how it works.

[dusty mantle]

i copied it 1:1 and it wont work

[edgy oriole]

Well then I am stumped!

Maybe check with folks in the #homebrew channel? Maybe someone there knows how to get it to work?

[dusty mantle]

funny thing i just had to add a one the gunslinger subclass didnt had

[edgy oriole]

Oh so that's all it took? lol! Great job figuring it out!

[dusty mantle]

yeah, i just fought well maybe if i add a 1 as a fixed value

it seems if its not premade the system thinks you want to have any amount of proficiency? i cant really think of whats the problem but well

[edgy oriole]

It sort of makes sense looking at it from a "0 means no proficiency" I guess. Anyway, good job!

[uneven lantern]

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

So it probably just hadn’t caught up yet.

[dusty mantle]

nope, the name was switched cause that was something i thought of too first so i renamed it

[dusty mantle]

will this be able to double the proficiency i have in a weapon? did i understood it right how it works or does it work completely different?

[cosmic jasper]

Hey, so regarding the new Unearthed Arcana and their surveys, can one account holder submit a survey more than once? And if yes, is their most recent submission the one accepted? (With previous submissions discarded)

[uneven lantern]

No one here knows. 😅

It’s technically possible to submit it more than once, but what they do with the data in that scenario is anyone’s guess.

[hybrid junco]

how would i make this

:When you take the Help action, you can spend one of your Hit Dice to empower an ally within 5 feet of you, channelling your magic into their body. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to one roll of that die plus your Constitution modifier. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

[uneven lantern]

At the very least, they’d know both submissions came from the same person.

[hybrid junco]

iver been trying and nothing is working

[uneven lantern]

I would add an Action. Set it up with a dice roll and click Display As Attack. Set Reset Type to Long Rest. Add any other details you like, Then save it and edit it again to find the Limited Use section at the bottom.

[hybrid junco]

ok thanks

[uneven lantern]

You’ll have to manually track your remaining hit dice, and the target will have to manually set their THP.

[hybrid junco]

thanks i may have some more questions

[hybrid junco]

how would i do this:

After you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try and magically frighten a creature within 5 feet of you. That creature must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus) or be frightened of you for 1 minute. If the target ends its turn more than 30 feet away from you, it can repeat this saving throw, ending the effect on a success. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

can anybody ping me if they have a solution

[balmy venture]

If this is meant to be an additional class feature to an existing character, the best way ime to implement this would be to make it as a Feat, and add it to the character sheet via the Manage Feats button on the sheet

Besides inputting the text the only technical parts would be giving it an associated Action, so the snippet shows up in the bonus actions section on the sheet, and within that action add Limited Use Data so the player can easily track how many times they've used the trait per long rest

[cosmic jasper]

Ok, thank you

[bright yacht]

Any ideas why I can't get this to work? Has anyone had this issue ever? I made the race and have had it in my collection and every character I make I allow homebrew. It doesn't make sense to me.

[uneven lantern]

Just to be sure: it is in your My Homebrew Collection, right? Not just My Homebrew Creations?

[chilly spear]

The campaigns feature on dnd beyond is more for the DM to manage character sheets if you aren’t using a virtual table top right?

I own the content and a friend of mine is DMing so I’m not sure if it’s worth paying for a sub if we are just going to use a virtual TT.

[modest pelican]

Manage character sheets, share dice rolls, and share content*

*requires at least one person in the campaign to have a master tier subscription

[chilly spear]

That’s what I thought, thanks

So if we plan to play purely out of foundryvtt it’s not needed right?

Just going to use DDB importer to import and export character sheets into foundry

[uneven lantern]

If they want to be able to select options from your books to create their character sheets in DDB, someone with a Master Tier subscription needs to enable Content Sharing for that campaign.

[chilly spear]

Right I see

Does the person with the content have to have the sub or anyone?

[uneven lantern]

Anyone

Once it’s enabled, everyone’s content gets shared with everyone else.

[keen knot]

Hello. This would be a first time discord user. I'm trying to build a custom subclass. The only problem, so far, is "Ability Score Improvement". I can't seem to separate "choose 1 ability score increase" from "choose 2 ability score increase". Both show up in the builder. Does that make sense? I can't get just one or the other.

[uneven lantern]

Can you provide a screenshot? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say here.

Typically subclasses don’t include ASI’s. That’s part of the class itself.

[dusty mantle]

in a content shared campaing, can the other players see everything i created but creatures or my created creatures too?

[uneven lantern]

Anything in your My Homebrew Collection is automatically shared with your campaigns, regardless of whether Content Sharing is enabled.

Any homebrew you create is automatically added to your My Homebrew Collection, but it can be manually removed from there to prevent it being shared.

[dusty mantle]

and if it isnt "my campaign" but someone else created it?

[uneven lantern]

(It will still be available in your My Homebrew Creations instead.)

[uneven lantern]

Any campaign you’re in, regardless of whether you’re a player or DM.

[dusty mantle]

so this now isnt shown in the shared content?

[uneven lantern]

It shouldn’t be, no.

[dusty mantle]

ok, thx

[lilac dirge]

if I preorder the new giants book on the dndstore, will I get a redeem code for dndbeyond?

or if I just get the digital version, will it also be available on august 1st

[uneven lantern]

The early access on August 1st is only if you purchase the digital + physical bundle here:
https://dndstore.wizards.com/us/product/820928/bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants-digital-plus-physical-bundle

You'll receive a code by email to unlock the book on DDB.

If you buy from anywhere other than the link above, including directly on DDB, the book will be available on release day, August 15th.

[lilac dirge]

Super helpful as always, big thanks!

[stone bone]

How do I add an item ?

If you search an item you can't add it from the search item section

You can't seem to put a chest in a bag of holding

[uneven lantern]

You can't currently put containers in containers, no.

[stone bone]

Ah

[bright yacht]

It is in collection and creation.

[uneven lantern]

What happens if you make a copy of that homebrew? (i.e. select is as a template for a new homebrew)

[bright yacht]

????

[uneven lantern]

This is... what, a subclass?

If you create a new subclass by selecting your existing one as a template, are you then able to add the new one to a character?

[bright yacht]

No, a race

Phyrexian

[uneven lantern]

Same deal. What happens if you make a copy?

[bright yacht]

Copy it or redo it? I don't know about copying on there.

[bright yacht]

I will try it and get back to you.

[bright yacht]

That worked. Thank you. Greatly appreciated. 👍

How do I set it so that attacks crit on 1’s and 20’s?

If you roll a 1, you can right click or long press on the damage to roll it as a crit.

[jovial fog]

Hey I'm making a custom college for my bard my friend suggested and I'm trying to figure out what to put in the "Additional Specific Spells" box

[uneven lantern]

That’s a tricky one, because its purpose changes based on the class.

[jovial fog]

I already found it nvm

[uneven lantern]

Generally speaking, it’s for subclass spells, which bards don’t typically have.

[jovial fog]

by using my friends copy of the college

[native bridge]

Can anyone tell me if/where I can find the a version of the ODnD warlock class in dndb? I would like to make a new warlock character on the website and see how it works

[edgy oriole]

As it's currently under playtest (it's not published as official material yet), it does not exist in DnDBeyond.

[ruby lintel]

Super new to DND(started on the weekend). only played adventure league here. in adventure league am i allowed to restock on potions? like buying them but using the GP to buy it? like when im alone. or should i just wait for an oppotunity to buy one during a session?

[keen knot]

Hello. Is anyone having problems with any editors?

[edgy oriole]

Probably best to ask this question in #adventurers-league - this channel you're in is for getting technical support for DnDBeyond's tools and services.

[edgy oriole]

Can you explain the nature of the problem in a bit more detail?

[keen knot]

When I open up any of My Creations, the editor just spins.

The editor window has a spinning arrow.

[edgy oriole]

Have you tried logging out of DnDBeyond and clearing your browser cookies and cache, then restart your browser and log back in to DnDBeyond?

Also make sure you’re not using any adblockers or VPNs.

You're not searching with any of the filters on, like proficient?

The item is still in your My Homebrew Collection, not just in My Homebrew Creations?

[timid hill]

if im looking for a game do i look in "Looking-for-players" or "looking-for-dm"?

or both

[modest pelican]

Go to #find-a-game and follow the instructions there

[timid hill]

thx

[rotund fractal]

Just restating this issue that my friend encountered while trying to open the DNDBeyond website. It's a DNS that's listed in the cookies page of DNDBeyond but I could not find out anymore than that. If there's a more appropriate forum to ask about this, I am all ears.

[uneven lantern]

Does she get the same issue in another browser, or on another device?

[stuck charm]

what sourcebook has hoopak its a cool weapon but i can't find the source of it

[modest pelican]

Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen

[stuck charm]

i don't see it hoopaks there on individual items

yeah double checked its not there, so would i have to buy the whole book?

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to view it here?

[teal garden]

So i have an question:can ur dnd character control plants with shape water as in avatar the last airbender?

[uneven lantern]

That sounds like a question #dnd-rules can help with.

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

[teal garden]

Ohhh sorry and thx

[glacial heath]

hey how do you find games on the DnD beyond website

[edgy oriole]

You can check the forums here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/looking-for-players-groups

Make sure to read the rules before posting.

[abstract hill]

hey so im completely new to the idea of dnd so it might be a bad question but what should i do after i complete my character sheet

[wanton hill]

Kinda depends. I'd make sure to double check stuff like equipment, backgrounds, etc. stuff easily forgotten. after you do that you should be fine. if your class has spells make sure to pick the ones for you. what are you working with?

[abstract hill]

could you clarify "working with"

[uneven lantern]

I think they’re asking what kind of character you made.

[wanton hill]

ya

[uneven lantern]

But if you want help with your character, that’s probably a better topic for #character-discussion.

[clever thistle]

(Sorry if this isn't the correct channel to use) I am wondering how to actually create a campaign on DNDB as it just lets me join one and not create one, again if this isn't the correct channel to use I apologize

[modest pelican]

Go here https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns and click Create a Campaign in the top right

[clever thistle]

Okay thanks!

[gritty axle]

hello can someone help with a tutorial or some sorts of the encounter creator

[stuck charm]

sorry for late reply, but i'm not able too

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, seems like it's only available with the full book purchase, then.

[still sequoia]

Hi does anybody know how to make a item that adds +3 str to the score over 20

like if my charachter has a str of 19 score

it adds +3 and the stat goes to 22

[uneven lantern]

Not sure you can do that specific combination.

I think it'd have to be +2 and 22, or +3 and 23.

But for either, you'd add a Modifier.

• Type: Stacking Bonus
• Subtype: Strength Score
• Fixed Value: (2 or 3)

[glacial heath]

can i just add the unearhed arcana automaticly or do i need to just add it manually

[edgy oriole]

You will have to create it yourself as DnDBeyond does not create unearthed arcana playtest rules for folks to use.

[glacial vector]

Is there a way to select the alt ranger options from Tasha's cauldron in Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, just make sure you enable Optional Class Features in your character settings.

Then on the Class page, click the Optional Feature Manager tab and enable the features you want to use.

[covert iron]

If I create a homebrew animal stat block and add it to my character, can other players in my campaign add my creation to their characters?

Or do I have to be the creator of the campaign / share it with community?

[uneven lantern]

If they have Homebrew Content enabled for that character, yes.

Homebrew you create is automatically added to your My Homebrew Collection, and anything in that collection is automatically shared with any campaign you’re in.

(To stop sharing, you can remove it from your collection; it would still be available to you in My Homebrew Creations instead.)

[haughty horizon]

I need legal advice about using the Sword Coast setting in a homebrew then selling it on DMguild and Roll20.
I asked in lore and in 3rd party, both said it's not the right place. I tried google and found nothing.

[uneven lantern]

There is nowhere on this server that can safely provide legal advice.

I would recommend speaking to a legal professional.

[haughty horizon]

Okay thank you!

[wooden shore]

Hey! Is anyone else having trouble with the Character Creation on DND Beyond?

[shell falcon]

How do you add homebrew magic items to your inventory? I created one, but it's not appearing when I search for what items to add to inventory

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Homebrew Content enabled for that character?

[shell falcon]

That was it lmao

[uneven lantern]

Seems to be working on my end, at least.

[edgy aspen]

Hey, I'm trying to make a homebrew feat that functions similar to Fey Touched. When I copy Fey Touched as the basis, there's no actual functionality copied, just the description. Is there a way to see the "coding" of the feat?

[solemn orchid]

Is dnd beyond releasing glory of the giants early in general or can you only get it earlier than august 15th if you pre-order?

[uneven lantern]

The book releases on August 15th.

Anyone who preorders the physical+digital bundle gets two-week early access on D&D Beyond, which starts on August 1st.
https://dndstore.wizards.com/us/product/820928/bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants-digital-plus-physical-bundle

[solemn orchid]

Ok so the two weeks early access is locked behind preorder got it. Ty

[uneven lantern]

Behind that specific preorder, on that specific site.

Other preorders, including on D&D Beyond itself, will receive the book on release day, August 15th.

My players handbook will not download on D&D beyond, I’m wondering if this is a lasting issue or if it can be fixed easily

[uneven lantern]

In the mobile app? What happens when you try to download it?

[coarse vector]

It says “purchase now” and when I buy it again, it gives me a “you already own this item. Get it again?” If I say yes it will say purchased, but as soon as I try to use it at all it says download failed

[uneven lantern]

You might try force closing the app and restarting it.

You can also try clicking your profile picture in the top left corner and selecting Restore Purchases.

You can also check here on the website to confirm that the purchase was added to your account.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

Deleting and reinstalling the app might also resolve it.

But if none of the works, then contacting customer support is your best option.

it didn’t complete the transaction for some reason

[indigo wagon]

Hi can anybody help me with ddb-homebrewing?
I want to create brass knuckles for the monk in my party, which give him 1d4 additional bludgeoning damage on his unarmed strikes.

the problem is, if i create it as a weapon and pick a base weapon like the club, the damage die changes to 1d6 because of Martial Arts.

as a wondrous item it never displays the extra damage or unarmed attack modifier i entered. how can i make this work?

[uneven lantern]

You could try creating it as a custom action directly on the character sheet. (Go to Actions and click Manage Custom in the top right corner.)

Or you could try pairing it with a homebrew feat.

[marble thunder]

As far as I can tell I should be able to get level 3 spells, but I can't see any in the list.

[modest pelican]

Can you link to your character?

[marble thunder]

yeah one sec

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/105322345

hmm let me remember how to do this

[marble thunder]

I don't think I remember how.

I took this copy character all the way to level 20 and it still didn't unlock level 3 and higher spells.

[modest pelican]

I'm able to add third level spells to that character

[marble thunder]

I swear this wasn't working earlier D:

But yes, it works now

[surreal radish]

Anyone know of any good YouTube Channels or anything that shows you how to use the homebrewing tools better?

[timber dock]

how fix

[uneven lantern]

That looks like you tried to open the content sharing link in a new tab.

Go back to the campaign itself and just click the button instead.

[craggy grotto]

i cant see any 6th level spells as a 11th lvl wizard.

figured it out, had to refresh page

[rancid moth]

How do I fix the issue with background proficiency not reflecting on my character sheet?

[dire blade]

You can nudge the server to update by leveling up and then leveling back down, opening and editing the character on the mobile app, or tweaking other parts of your character like ability scores and editing them back after.

Sometimes it works, sometimes you gotta try after 15m, etc. Its not a guaranteed system.

[subtle vortex]

Hey i have a question about spellbooks for wizard?

im pretty sure i should be able to preperare 18 spells

cantrips doesnt count for preperared spells

why can i only prep 14?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to your character sheet?

[subtle vortex]

You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

[subtle vortex]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/104080887

[modest pelican]

Because of what you quoted

You prepare the list of wizard spells that are available for you to cast. To do so, choose a number of wizard spells from your spellbook equal to your Intelligence modifier + your wizard level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Your characters intelligence modifier is +4
Their level is 10
10 + 4 = 14 which is how many spells you should be able to prepare
The character sheet reflects this

[subtle vortex]

ah modifier. my bad

[modest pelican]

Your character knows 19 spells

[subtle vortex]

yeah i was reading it badly, my bad

[modest pelican]

S'all good, Wizard isn't exactly the simplest class

[wraith pendant]

Can someone help me? How can I move this homebrew magic item into "bonus action" tab, in "actions" section?

In homebrew editor I can't find where to set the activation condition

[unreal umbra]

In the app my PC can’t open but when I look at a different PC it works fine not sure why this is

[dusky temple]

So my dm is trying to try and homebrew a feat where the battle ready modifier also applies to the extra functions apply to the polearm master feat, any idea for how to set modifiers or other things to get it to apply or should I just copy the polearm master feat with the skill set to intelligence instead of strength?

[slow osprey]

How do I get the class role again?
I can't find the Role channel

[ruby lintel]

I can’t seem to be able to add this character to DND beyond account. Got him from a con premade character.

I can’t get the feature to show up and for some reason the stats won’t add up correctly.

[real path]

what doesnt add up? because I already see an error in the sheet with the heavy crossbow

also, variant human is not free, do you have access to it on DDB?

[uneven lantern]

It’s not possible to add actions to magic items. I would add it directly to the character sheet a custom action or pair it with a homebrew feat.

[uneven lantern]

Sounds like a local issue. You could try reinstalling the app, or check if there’s any security software that might be blocking its network access.

[ruby lintel]

@real path thats the case. i didn't XD just realize it.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you won’t be able to affect one feat with another. Making a separate copy if PAM and updating it as needed is your best option here.

[uneven lantern]

Click Channels & Roles at the top of the channel list. (Or just click here: id:customize)

[uneven lantern]

By “the feature”, do you mean False Identity? That’s part of the Charlatan background from the PHB.

[unreal umbra]

I uninstalled it and reinstalled it still same problem

[dusky temple]

I ended up doing that, thanks for being prompt with responses!

[tough patio]

Is there a way to make a Dhampir Aarakocra on D&D Beyond?

[little plume]

think you need to buy some books for your account to access those options

[tough patio]

Will that actually have the option to mix them?

[little plume]

So that has Dhampir

Monster manual has the Aarakocra

If you are trying to mix, i'd use the racial info from Ravenloft, and the rest of the stats and abilities from monster manual

[tough patio]

Just trying to make a long death vampire Aarakocra for my players to meet

[queen pecan]

when making a race on dndbeyond how to add a racial trait that forces a saving throw?

[little plume]

If you are the DM, home brew. Put what makes sense to you, and how organic the interaction you want it to be. Its an interesting mix you are creating but, ultimately you are the one to make it. Also, since its an Aarakocra, you can give it a row of teeth or just keep the beak. my opinion do the teeth, look crazier

[edgy oriole]

Dhampir is a lineage that applies to any class - it supersedes some class abilities with the lineage abilities

[little plume]

oh, i did not know that

[edgy oriole]

Maybe take a look at how the Dragonborn race is set up? Or a similar official race that has some feature that requires a saving throw.

[queen pecan]

ok ty

are there any otrher races that need a saving throw? in dragonborn it adds an action instead of modifier

would mimicry similar to the kenku's be considered an action?

[queen pecan]

im trying to add a trait that allows 2 skills of choice, I added 2 modifiers with "choose a lagnuage" but when I test it it always just gives one option

[molten mason]

what?

[queen pecan]

im teying to add a racial trait to a homebrew race that allows 2 skill proficinecies, but when I test it out in the character builder it only has one select option menu

[little plume]

To be honest, might be better off printing character sheet and filling out that way.

[queen pecan]

ok ty

[modest pelican]

@queen pecan try copying any race that grants a choice of skills, such as half-elf which has skill versatility that lets you pick any two skills
Copy that race, see how Skill Versatility is set up, and then copy that for your race

[queen pecan]

ok ty!

[coarse belfry]

Quick question. I just purchased the source book The Explore's Guide to the Wildemount and I was hoping to use the adventure "Frozen Sick" under the premade campaigns. But I don't seem to have access to it under the My Campaigns tab but I can see/read it under the sources section. Any ideas how I can access the add the campaign to My Campaign?

[uneven lantern]

Books don't create campaigns automatically.

At the top of My Campaigns is a Create Campaign button you can use to add a campaign.

In this specific case, though, you could alternatively select Create From Premade Campaign and choose Frozen Sick there.

[hexed citrus]

How do i enable content sharing?

[modest pelican]

1. Ensure you have a Master Tier subscription
2. Go to a campaign you're a member of (that doesn't have content sharing enabled)
3. In the top left, click the button to enable content sharing
   This will enable content sharing for that campaign and will count towards your maximum of 5 campaigns

Note you do not need to be the DM of the campaign, just a member

[hexed citrus]

Okay figured out my friend only has hero

[craggy grotto]

what do i type when making a home brew creature if i want it to be a rollable 2d4+5?

seems liek this worked rollable;{"diceNotation":"2d4","rollType":"damage","rollAction":"Heal (radiant)","rollDamageType":"radiant"}[/rollable] +5

[uneven lantern]

You'd want to put the +5 in both the parentheses and the dice notation.

Full instructions here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/106856-adding-rollable-tags-to-your-homebrew-monsters-for

Is this meant to be a healing ability, though?

Not sure what you mean there by "Heal (radiant)".

[coarse belfry]

Hi--The Create From Premade Campaign is what I was looking at and unable to use for Frozen Sick.

[boreal arch]

All my homebrew feats I have created have disappeared from my selection under "Manage Feats", but the feats I have already selected for a character are available.

[uneven lantern]

Did you turn off Homebrew Content for that character?

[uneven lantern]

In what way are you unable to use it?

[boreal arch]

Where is that setting?

Found it

It was turned off, but I have not turned it off. I have however not used D&D Beyond for 2 weeks, but nobody else has access to it. Bug?

[coarse belfry]

It won't allow me to select it as a campaign. It gives an error message "Could Not Save Claimed Campaign"

[dense viper]

I have received the same error. As I didn't know about pre-made campaigns and wanted to play around with them

[lapis geyser]

hmm when i go to set up from a premade campaign, i get a popup saying claimed successfully, but nothing appears to happen. however, when i go to my campaign page after, i have one for each time i pressed the link

i wouldv'e expected it to take me to the newly created campaign instead

[uneven lantern]

So when you go to Create Premade Campaign…
https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/premade

And click “Select Frozen Sick”, that’s when you get the error?

And Frozen Sick does not appear under My Campaigns?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns

[coarse belfry]

@uneven lantern Correct on all questions

[uneven lantern]

I see the devs pushed a fix for something related to claiming premade campaigns about an hour ago. Are you still getting the same error now?

[uneven lantern]

You can create a homebrew race here.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-race

There’s a tutorial article here you can use as well.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/190-design-workshop-races

The best general advice I can offer is that if you can find an official race that does something similar, you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how it was set up.

Then you can steal its secrets. 🤫

I don’t see anything in that race that would prevent it from working, though.

But if you get stuck, you’re welcome to ask any questions here.

[edgy oriole]

For personal use you should be fine but do not publish work that is not your own.

[coarse belfry]

Its fixed now. Thank you for your help.

[wheat perch]

how do you select to be dual wielding on ddb?

primarily for the added ac of the dual wielder feat

[uneven lantern]

Click one of your weapons and enable Dual Wield in the sidebar.

[wheat perch]

okay

[dire blade]

If you make a homebrew weapon and add the thrown property via Weapon Property, is there any way to get DNDB to display the range correctly? It defaults to a (5/5) range, and I can’t seem to change it.

[minor turtle]

Hey, can I add maps, combat maps and stuff like this in D&D Beyond visible for my players?

[modest pelican]

Nope, you cannot

[minor turtle]

ahh, thank you

[balmy plover]

Hey can anybody help me whenever I try to use the character creator After I'm done completing the character it does not show me the back story I've tried using the PDF and the link but it does not show in no matter what I do

[wispy canyon]

I'd like to delete a piece of published Homebrew. How do I do that?

[edgy oriole]

From DnDBeyond? Once published so it's publicly available it can not be deleted as others may be using it.

If it hasn't been published to be publicly available, you can click the "Delete" link as found on the item in your homebrew collection.

[wispy canyon]

It has been published. Will creating a new version override the existing piece?

[modest pelican]

It won't override it, but the new version will be what's displayed in search results

However the old version will still be visible in the version history and won't be removed/changed for those who have already added it to their collection

[edgy oriole]

Yeah characters with the old version will continue to have the old version until the user replaces it with your updated version.

[wispy canyon]

Alrighty. Thanks, y'all!

[verbal creek]

I've preordered Bigby's. What time do the early access start today?

[modest pelican]

Usually we target 7am PT / 9am CT / 10am ET / 3pm BST (UK) for releases
usually

[violet pilot]

Can’t wait

[verbal creek]

Fingers crossed. If I see an issue, I'll let you know.

[balmy plover]

hey uh im still here if anyone can help me

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[lapis geyser]

Where are you putting in your backstory and where are you expecting to see it?

[balmy plover]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/105324148

i forgot to put a title hold on

ya put i it in the thing called background but i dont see it

[serene ember]

Love getting a 403 error

[balmy plover]

dang just refresh

[serene ember]

403 is an invalid access, which means I don’t have pets to view it, which is reasonable seeing as I don’t have my account on my phone yet

[lapis geyser]

It's not coming up for me either, so it may be set to private, i think a recent site change made that the default

[balmy plover]

ok hold on

there we go

should work now

[lapis geyser]

Ha, I'm a fool. I forgot that DNDBeyond doesn't let regular users see each others background info anyway 😅

[balmy plover]

dam

[lapis geyser]

Spam should be able to help you out when they get the chance though

[balmy plover]

ok

[modest pelican]

Where are you typing out your character information?

[balmy plover]

for help i guess?

[modest pelican]

No, where are you typing the information on the character sheet, what fields?

Notes >> Allies? Backstory? Other?

[balmy plover]

this one?

[modest pelican]

That's not a text entry field. You can't write anything there

[balmy plover]

but i did

do you mean i put the description on top?

[modest pelican]

It says 2/2, where did you write 1/2?

[balmy plover]

honestly im confused just as much as you are there

[uneven lantern]

Background and backstory are two different concepts.

[balmy plover]

ohhhhhhhh ok

[uneven lantern]

If you want to see the description for your background, which is the text you entered above, you can go to the Description tab and click on your background feature.

[dire blade]

Your background is like…. “I was a criminal before becoming an adventurer.” Your backstory might explain what it was like for you to be a criminal and who you met. They’re in different places on a character sheet.

[uneven lantern]

If you want that to show as your backstory, then you’ll need to move it to the field for backstory.

[balmy plover]

ok

[dire blade]

Background also has some tangible character benefits like skill proficiencies or languages. Your backstory is pure flavor.

[balmy plover]

but what about pdf files? none of the pages show these text's

[dire blade]

They show up on page 4 if you actually fill in the correct place on the character sheet.

That’s where the “Character Backstory” field appears on the pdf.

[balmy plover]

thanks

[uneven lantern]

Note that the PDF does get cached for a short time, so you might not see the change immediately.

[balmy plover]

ok good to know

[covert pebble]

Ok so something weird's happening with my D&D Beyond account so that a lot of my homebrew stuff is just gone. Do y'all know what's going on with it?

[edgy oriole]

You made the homebrew yourself? Or was this homebrew of others you've added to your collection?

And is your subscription active?

An active subscription is needed to add other's homebrew to your collection.

[covert pebble]

1. It's my own.
2. As far as I know, my subscription is active

Like, I made this homebrew hand cannon named the "Ace Of Spades", based off of the hand cannon in Destiny 2, but I went to look at it just now and it's not there

[edgy oriole]

Can you go to your account and check the marketplace tab and confirm your entitlements are in sync?

[modest pelican]

(entitlements don't affect homebrew; if your subscription lapses you still keep everything in your collection)

[edgy oriole]

Okay good to know

[covert pebble]

I have no clue what I'm looking for, but according to D&D Beyond, by subscrption doesn't end until the 7th of December

[modest pelican]

@covert pebble is everything else for your account present? Characters for example?

[covert pebble]

Oh yeah. Some of my stuff is still there, but a lot of my homebrew conent is just gone

[modest pelican]

When you say "a lot", you mean not all of it is gone?

[covert pebble]

yeah

mainly just my paid stuff like the official content, characters and some homebrew stuff I made back in like, 2020 and stuff like that

[modest pelican]

Was this content private or published?

[covert pebble]

published

[modest pelican]

There we go

It'll have been deleted because publishing homebrew copies of other peoples work is a violation of the homebrew rules and guidelines

[covert pebble]

But I didn't though. I only took inspiration from Destiny 2, a game, to make an item. There was no copying involved

[modest pelican]

You said some of the missing homebrew was

paid stuff like the official content

Also publishing content based on other IPs is against the rules as well

[covert pebble]

lmao, that was my bad. I meant in my account as a whole. with homebrew specifically, there's only a few pages of stuff I made back in early to mid 2020

[modest pelican]

Okay, so it's not just homebrew that's missing?

Can you give me a clear list of what you cannot find

[covert pebble]

Then please explain how there's 4 pages of "Ace Of Spades" items in the homebrew stuff?

[modest pelican]

The moderation team is not omniscient and omnipresent and as such we rely on users reporting content that violates the homebrew rules and guidelines

[covert pebble]

Just a whole bunch of my newer homebrew stuff. it's mainly just a bunch of my old and not used ones

[modest pelican]

So it's only some of your recent homebrew you cannot access?

[covert pebble]

Yeah. As far as I know I can access everything else

[modest pelican]

And is any of this published?

Can you give me one of the items names

[covert pebble]

Anarchy

[modest pelican]

Can you give me one that'll be easier to search for? Something with a more specific or unique name>?

[covert pebble]

Not any that I can remember other than Ace of Spades and Anarchy

[modest pelican]

what item did you base it on? A heavy crossbow or a shotgun?

[covert pebble]

Anarchy is a grenade launcher and Ace Of Spades is a pistol

[modest pelican]

Those aren't items in D&D
What D&D base item did you use?

[covert pebble]

I'm pretty sure I put Anarchy was put as a laser rifle

[modest pelican]

The Anarchy is a big grenade lobber. It shoots three arc mines in 1 second. It holds 12 bolts and Grenades stick to surfaces and chain Arc bolts to other mines. The arc bolts stay there for 3 rounds. The bolts deal 2d8+2 lightning damage every round and, after the three rounds, the mines explode and does 4d12+4 lightning damage.

Is that description familiar?

[covert pebble]

Yes, and it's cringe to read it after 3 whole years

[modest pelican]

Okay, so the item is still there, it hasn't been removed yet

I'm afraid I don't know why you can't see the item in your homebrew creations

[covert pebble]

Dam

Thanks anyway. Guess I'll just make another one

[modest pelican]

Just do not publish it

[covert pebble]

It was published for over 2 years, I don't think that's the problem

[edgy oriole]

It is a problem because using others IP will mean we will have to remove it if it's published for the general public to access/use.

[modest pelican]

I'm telling you categorically that publishing homebrew based on an IP that you do not own is against the homebrew rules

[modest pelican]

Yes, these people are breaking that rule too

"Other people are breaking the rule" does not mean you get a pass

[covert pebble]

Also, that rule literally never applied when I was doing that with so many things. Most of which are just decently cool Destiny weapons I like

[modest pelican]

That rule has always applied

https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

Do not submit homebrew that contains copyrighted material. We can review it again if you remove any and all copyrighted content and any references to it (e.g. Captain America's Shield, anything from Star Wars, etc.).

[covert pebble]

Weird rule

[modest pelican]

It's not, but regardless, it's always been there

[uneven lantern]

Where specifically is this homebrew stuff "gone" from?

[covert pebble]

So many people have blatantly disregarded that rule to the point it might as well not be one

[uneven lantern]

Is it missing from My Homebrew Creations or My Homebrew Collection?

[covert pebble]

From my "Homebrew Creations" tab.

Well, both. Since apparently it doesn't exist as one of my creations, it also doesn't exist as a part of my collection

[uneven lantern]

If you remove the options in the Status filter, do they become visible?

[modest pelican]

Again, that doesn't change anything

And that's not how rules work

[covert pebble]

Might I ask, why does it even exist?

[uneven lantern]

Because those users do not have the legal rights to publish content using Marvel's IP.

If Marvel wants a Captain America's Shield available on the site as homebrew, they're welcome to publish one themselves.

[covert pebble]

Not even with just big names like marvel and Disney. Like, according to that rule most people that make subclasses based on things like last airbender or stuff like that aren't allowed, despite element bending being a very common element in a lot of fantasy

[modest pelican]

This isn't the channel to debate the homebrew rules and guidelines

You can refresh yourself of them here
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

[covert pebble]

It's just a really weird rule

[modest pelican]

It's really not as has been explained regarding IP law. End of discussion

[edgy oriole]

Consult a lawyer if you need to learn more.

[lilac dirge]

What is the Permission Request for DDB Support Tickets?

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure what you mean? I don't see any permission request field when submitting a support ticket for D&D Beyond

[lilac dirge]

ohh my screen is different

[modest pelican]

That's not got anything to do with D&D Beyond

D&D Beyond Help has it's own option in the dropdown, as you can see in the screenshot I posted

[lilac dirge]

Got it! Thank you!

[near badge]

I'm new to D&D beyond and have pre-ordered Bigbys Glory of the Giants but I don't see the book available for early access. Am I missing it somehow?

[modest pelican]

Did you pre-order the digital/physical bundle?

[near badge]

I think I see where this is going. I only pre-ordered the digital version. Is the early access for the combo only? Is there a way to upgrade from just digital to the combo then for early access?

[modest pelican]

Yes and not

Early access is only for the digital/physical bundle pre-orders and digital pre-orders are non-refundable and non-transferable

[near badge]

And I'm assuming that adding the physical one in now doesn't help me either?

I definitely wouldn't have ordered it this way if it had been made more clear. :*(

[modest pelican]

There's no way to 'add' the physical one

The bundle is done through a different store front

dndstore.wizards.com

I'm curious, where on the D&D Beyond marketplace did you see/get the impression there was early access included in the pre-order?

Because you said it wasn't clear

I can pass on feedback to improve that

[near badge]

Sure. When you're on the main page for the D&D store the wording is confusing.

[modest pelican]

Oh, so it wasn't on the D&D Beyond marketplace?

[near badge]

Here's a photo.

"PREORDER NOW Early Access to Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants Digital Content on D&D Beyond Ends In:"

Just implies that the digital content itself is in early access. That link isn't on the bundle page but rather an image countdown I've seen around and there.

[modest pelican]

Yep, that's on the D&D store, pre-ordering there gives you early access

[near badge]

You can surely see how that's confusing

[modest pelican]

From the description

INCLUDES:
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk printed adventure book
D&D Beyond digital copy of Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk
This preorder grants you Early Access to Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk on D&D Beyond starting September 5, 2023

[near badge]

That's not the page for Phandelver.l though. That's the header on the main page.

[modest pelican]

Let's move channels

[near badge]

A pre-order for a code on the app vs a preorder on a website that includes a code on the app isn't a clear distinction either for someone coming from regular digital storefronts

[quartz mountain]

do you only get the early access to Bigby Presents if you order the physical + digital bundle?

[modest pelican]

Correct

[rare quail]

For the early access book, can I make videos about BP:GoTG?

Or would I have to wait for Aug 15th for the official release? (also apologizes if this is the wrong place to ask, should I submit a support ticket?)

[modest pelican]

Not the place to ask I'm afraid, a support ticket is likely the better route

[rare quail]

all good! I'll try there!

[bitter pier]

Has anyone had issues as DM in a shared-content campaign where their players only have access to one or two subclasses for a class or don't have access to all of the races that they should?

I have the content purchased on D&D Beyond, and I do have content sharing enabled.

[uneven lantern]

Do you have a specific example of something they expected to see but didn’t?

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

Is their character assigned to your campaign?

[bitter pier]

Right now my friend is trying to make a forest gnome, but doesn't see it as an option.

Sees Rock Gnome and Deep Gnome

Another was a friend who was creating a sorcerer and couldn't access Wild Magic subclass but could access draconic bloodline.

[bitter pier]

I had him join the campaign, he's making the character now

[bitter pier]

What are account entitlements?

[uneven lantern]

At the top of the page I linked there is a section called Account Entitlements.

Have them check what it says there.

It will either say that everything’s in sync, or it will show a button they can click to sync it.

[bitter pier]

Okay.. I messaged him. He'll probably check when he gets to it.

Would that affect my shared content?

[uneven lantern]

If he just barely joined the campaign and it hasn’t synced yet, the system wouldn’t yet recognize that the content is now shared with him.

It will eventually sync on its own, but he can manually do it through that link as well.

[bitter pier]

That makes sense. So he can force the content sync if it hasn't done it yet, right?

[uneven lantern]

(And if it says everything’s in sync already, it rules that out as the cause.)

[uneven lantern]

Yep

[bitter pier]

Okay, I'll report back if he's having issues.

@uneven lantern no luck:

He doesn't need a Hero subscription, does he?

I had to go in and manually assign him First Gnome, now he can't choose Circle of the Moon.

[uneven lantern]

Is that new character also assigned to your campaign?

Shared character options are only available inside the campaign that’s sharing it.

And no, he wouldn’t need a subscription.

As long as someone with a Master Tier subscription has enabled Content Sharing for that campaign, everyone’s purchased game content should be shared with everyone else.

[bitter pier]

That new character is in the campaign, yes.

That's how I was able to access it to give him Forest Gnome.

But now he only has access to Circle of the Land

I've triple-checkednthat all of my content is shared.

[winter sigil]

I can't join a campaign at the moment even though the maximum amount of players is not reached. Is this a server error?

[modest pelican]

How are you joining? With an existing character or claiming one?
What error or message do you get?

[bronze granite]

I don’t know if I am blind but shortswords seem to have disappeared from DDB. It’s not coming up either searching or browsing in “add items”, and not coming up in starting equipment options when it should.

[modest pelican]

They're showing up for me

[bronze granite]

Okay, it was me being a doofus. I thought my character was proficient in shortswords but they’re not - and I had the proficiency box ticked. 🤦‍♀️

[modest pelican]

easy mistake

[minor turtle]

hey, what can I put in public DM notes?

[edgy oriole]

In a DnDBeyond campaign? Anything you want your players to to know about the campaign.

[zinc fiber]

Ok so I made a race that was based off the dragonborne with their own special breath weapons and now for some reason I can't choose the breath Weapon options

[modest pelican]

@hollow scroll You want #character-discussion

[hollow scroll]

ah ok sorry

[signal field]

I’m the DM to a homebrew campaign, and I’ve given a player a cursed homebrew sword that trades their wisdom for strength, but I can’t seem to override the Str stat to go over 20? Is there a reasonable way to do this?

Seems like this has been a known bug for a while based on forums, but other still claim being able to go over 20 while some have no such luck

[modest pelican]

It's not a bug, you just need to set up the modifiers correctly

[signal field]

Can you please elaborate?

[modest pelican]

You need to increase the Strength Score Maximum as well as Strength Score

[signal field]

Where do I find these fields?

[modest pelican]

Copy an official item that does the same thing and look at the modifiers

Belt of Storm Giant Strength for example

[signal field]

So i can’t just do that in their character sheet?

[modest pelican]

No, because RAW a character cannot have an ability score above 20 without a magic item or specific class ability

At the very least you'd need an item (or feat) that increases the characters ability score maximum and then you should be able to override the score above 20

[signal field]

Got it to work! Thank you

So under homebrew items “Modifiers” -> “Bonus - Ability Score Maximum” is how you do give stats over 20

[modest pelican]

If that's what the belt of giant strength does

[signal field]

It’d be pretty dope if there was some good documentation around how to do things in homebrew.

Surprised nobody put out a link. Im tired of opening up multiple tabs to just to load up other magic items or monsters to figure out how they do things. It took me forever to learn how to add spells properly

[wise talon]

How do you make skill modifier??

[signal field]

I believe its stacking modifier

[zinc fiber]

What did I do wrong here

[naive lodge]

It looks like homebrew that wasn't made correctly?

[stiff fractal]

Help so I ordered planescape though the wizards store and redeemed the code for dnd beyond

But it’s not showing up as owned and not in my order history on dnd beyond ?

Also bigsbys was ment to unlock as well but it didn’t

[uneven lantern]

If you bought the physical+digital bundle, the marketplace page on DDB will not show “You already own this” until the official release date.

The bundle code redeems a separate version to grant the two-week early access included with the bundle.

I believe you can verify that redeemed code on this page instead:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

Does that page show both books under Current Product Licenses?

[stable moss]

Anyone have a Firefox addon/plugin for DND beyond to see and track all players HP/General Stats?

[modest pelican]

There is no such official plugin
This channel is for getting help with official D&D Beyond services

[stable moss]

Ah my bad, Sorry.

[modest pelican]

s'all good

[uneven lantern]

You can view them all together in the mobile app, though.

[stable moss]

Ah, I do my DMing on the PC.

It is strange how some features aren't to parity.

[naive lodge]

On PC it's also assumed you can just open them all in tabs. HP is shown on the encounter tracker though.

[stiff fractal]

Oh I see it why didn’t it unlock bigsbys early becuse I brought it before the timer ran out …,

[modest pelican]

That's not correct. The early access pre-order window is still open and the timer is still running. However, you only get early access if you pre-order the digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com
https://dndstore.wizards.com/uk/product/820930/bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants-digital-plus-physical-bundle

[glossy river]

Anyone know of a way to add homebrew Features (as if using Grim Hollow) to a DDB sheet?

Was thinking about DMing a game using the Features and was considering DDB to keep the players sorted for ease

[stiff fractal]

Oh it dosht say you have to buy bigsbys it just says preorder now so I thought preordering somthing else would give me a early access key

[modest pelican]

Sorry, I might be misunderstanding, but are you saying you thought that pre-ordering any book would give you early access to Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants?

[stiff fractal]

Yup

[modest pelican]

Ah, well no, that's not the case

You must pre-order that specific books digital/physical bundle to get early access to it

[stiff fractal]

It says hurry preorder now to get early access to bigbys I’m pertty sure that’s the wording in my book that means you could preorder other things to get early access

[naive lodge]

In the common usage of that phrasing it would not though.

[uneven lantern]

NGL, looking at the site, I can see how it might be misinterpreted that way, though.

[naive lodge]

Hmm, yeah, that's not good. Feedback it?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I'm gonna send it over now.

[modest pelican]

That is confusing

[naive lodge]

If you want to purchase a different bundle instead, customer service should be able to help you though.

[stiff fractal]

Yeah I preordered planscape becuse I allready had bigsbys

[naive lodge]

Then please do use the pinned support link to open a ticket.

[stiff fractal]

Where do I do that

[naive lodge]

In this channel, it uses Discord's built-in pin system.

[stiff fractal]

Yeah I was looking for it on dnd beyond lol

[stiff fractal]

Yeah it was rolling down to hours to gain it on that day I quickly preordered but it took ages for the site to generate the key lol

[tough patio]

So this is for a different character but does Vecna's hand and/or eye mess with your spells or is DnD just bugging?

[modest pelican]

Can you clarify how it's messing with your spells? And maybe provide a link to the character?

[tough patio]

Well, 2nd pic is what I chose for my spells but 1st is what's showing up on the 1st - 3rd spell slots

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/104748691

[modest pelican]

It's a warlock

All your warlock spells will be highest level

However the spells from the hand/eye won't be, they'll be their base level plus the option to upcast

Which is exactly what I'm seeing on your character

[tough patio]

I chose 1st 2nd and 3rd levels spells so I'm pretty sure they should also show up there with the ability to upcast, but they're not showing up from 1st to 3rd

[modest pelican]

Nope, that's not how warlocks work

Warlocks only ever have spell slots of one level, fifth in the case of your character

All your warlock spells must be cast at that level

Does that clarify things?

[fallow hamlet]

I purchased "Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants Digital Pre-order" Is that supposed to be available now in my dndbeyond.com account or on the 15th? I see this in my menu, and I can click on individual chapters in the book, but it says it's not available yet.

[uneven lantern]

If you purchased the physical+digital bundle from here, that includes a two-week early access to the digital version.
https://dndstore.wizards.com/us/product/820928/bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants-digital-plus-physical-bundle

If you purchased it from anywhere else, including on D&D Beyond itself, then the book will be available on release day, August 15th.

[fallow hamlet]

Got it. IMO, the menu is a little deceptive and confusing.

[vivid flicker]

question - does the Deck of Many Things include preorder bonuses? I could be early since it just launched. But i was looking forward to it so just hit purchase lol. Sorry if i'm ahead of myself here

[uneven lantern]

Preorder The Book of Many Things to instantly unlock the Dice of Many Things dice set, character sheet frames & backdrops based on the book at release

hi

[uneven lantern]

Hey there! Did you need help with D&D Beyond?

[hoary creek]

hi i need help homebrewing a race into dndbeyond, im not too good at homebrew, and theres already a pre-existing sheet for this race

[uneven lantern]

Where exactly are you stuck?

[hoary creek]

yes

wait nvm i got it

[halcyon plover]

had hope we made see the glitchling or the dino druid in the book of many things shame

[modest pelican]

This channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond. For general discussion you want #dnd-discussion

[halcyon plover]

oh sorry i though i was in the general chat

[lunar schooner]

Question: I'm trying to make a feature that changes the damage die of thrown weapons. I'm assuming I'd have to do this with modifiers in the feature, but it's not seeming to work. Here's the feature:
Your thrown weapons can deal damage equal to 1d6 + the attack’s ability modifier on a hit, instead of the weapon’s normal amount. If the target is within the weapon’s normal range, the d6 becomes a d8.

With how I see it, I can add a versatile feature to when you make a thrown attack to show it can boost it to 1d8, but how do I edit thrown weapons to show as 1d6 + the stat modifier on the sheet?

What does Monk and Unarmed Fighting Style do to edit the Unarmed Strike damage and can it be replicated for Thrown weapons.

[vivid flicker]

Thanks. I guess my comment was more that i didn't see them so wondering if was delayed or not. I got the digital pre-order

[uneven lantern]

I think for the other books this year, the dice were all available within maybe a week or two of preorders starting.

But unless they announce a release date, it’s anyone’s guess here.

[lunar schooner]

Could I get some help with my predicament?

[uneven lantern]

I’m not sure yours is possible in the way you want.

If you can find an official game feature that modifies the dice for throwing weapons, you could make a homebrew copy of it and see how that was set up.

But if there are no such features, that ability was probably never added to the system.

Personally, I’d just add a separate attack to represent throwing a weapon with that feature.

[lunar schooner]

I'm guessing there's no system like the Unarmed Fighting Style or Monk Martial Dice that can be applied to thrown weapons?

[uneven lantern]

I believe those were built specifically for unarmed strikes.

But I don’t really have any inside information there.

[zinc shell]

yo how do i determine the attack bonus in this part of the sheet?

it says on the website that if it has a finesse property i can use my str or dex modifiers but what if the weapon i have has a property like Heavy, Light etc.?

[uneven lantern]

That sounds like a good question for #dnd-newcomers.

[zinc shell]

i couldnt send pics so

[uneven lantern]

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

[zinc shell]

oh mb lemme copy this

[uneven lantern]

You can link to an image in that channel.

Or in this case, simply ask how to calculate the attack bonus for a weapon.

I don't think this particular image is adding much to the conversation. 😅

[zinc shell]

ogey

[outer anchor]

Is there an option on a Character Sheet to enable the bonus feats at level 1 and 4 for a Dragonlance campaign?

[modest pelican]

No, but you don't need to, you can add feats manually at any level

[uneven lantern]

☝️ That's on the character sheet under Features & Traits > Manage Feats.

[outer anchor]

I know my players can add it manually, but it'd be nice to get a prompt for it. When adding Knight of the Crown, for example, there's no option to select which ability score increase, so that has to be adjusted manually too. Disappointing.

[uneven lantern]

There is indeed such an option.

It won't let me pick STR there because I'm already at 20.

[outer anchor]

I see, you have to add it and THEN it gives the ability score drop-down menu in the list of feats!

[spare shoal]

Hi folks. I’m attempting to add Critical Role’s Gunslinger to my character, how do I do this?

[modest pelican]

1. Enable critical role content
2. Make a fighter
3. Level them up to level 3
4. Select gunslinger as your subclass

[timber arrow]

Hey guys i have a question, im in a campaign(but not the DM) if i were to buy a book, would the others in the campaign be able to use sources from said book?

[uneven lantern]

They would if someone with a Master Tier subscription has enabled Content Sharing the campaign.

Whether that’s you or the DM or someone else.

[timber arrow]

this is what it says

so does that mean itd be okay

[uneven lantern]

Yep! You should be good to go!

[timber arrow]

sweet thank you

[timber arrow]

how would i send it to the campaign actually? is there a setting i need to click

[uneven lantern]

It should be shared automatically, though it might take a short while for that to happen behind the scenes.

Your group can check here under Account Entitlements to see whether that has happened or sync it manually.

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

[timber arrow]

awesome thank you very much

[static epoch]

Hello! I'm kind of new at DnD! I've played some years ago, but just recently I've bought the Essentials Kit and I think I read somewhere that the box set includes a reedemable code for DnD Beyond but I can't find it!

Is this the right place to ask about it? Or where can I do it?

[obtuse spade]

Uhhh

crud i have that, lemme check

its somewhere in your book

go to the store and redeem a key

[obtuse spade]

hope the above words of confusion helps

[static epoch]

I'd searc for it on the books and nothing

[uneven lantern]

I don’t believe those come with a code any more.

Does it still list one on the back of the box?

[ripe perch]

Hey, i try to share my person and it only shows up with copy pdf, how do i get the link to share it normally?

[sharp mango]

Does anyone know if you can share homebrewed monsters on DND Beyond?

*Sharing with someone in the same campaign and Sharing Content is enabled.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure the character is set to public (not private) then copy and share the URL to it from your browser address bar.

[edgy oriole]

I believe anything in your homebrew collection is shared with everyone else in that campaign.

[uneven lantern]

☝️ With or without Content Sharing enabled.

[uneven lantern]

That sounds like something you might want to ask in #dnd-discussion.

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

[fair latch]

Can someone explain the difference between purchasing a digital book on dndb vs just purchasing the compendium content only?

[halcyon plover]

the latter one you give you just the book to read no char builder use and the other does

[fair latch]

ok, so you can't use the items or classes on a char sheet for example with compendium, am I understanding that correctly?

[bold hinge]

I am currently making a bard, and selected the extended spell list feature, which should add spells to my bard list. Though it is not showing up. I know I have optional features enabled

I also own the books/spells needed,

[uneven lantern]

So you enabled both Optional Class Features and Additional Bard Spells?

When you say you own the spells, does that mean you purchased them yourself or they’re being shared with you through a campaign?

[bold hinge]

Yes it is enabled on the home section and in the class section

I also own the books, they are not being shared with me.

It says I should get command, and color spray for additional first level spells, but when I go to manage spells they do not show up as and option to prepare/learn.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[rustic shard]

how do i join a caimpian

[edgy oriole]

You look for a game or group and ask if you can join - see #find-a-game for more information. I’d also strongly recommend reading it carefully. Postings that don’t follow the instructions will get removed.

[gleaming gulch]

Is this the place to ask about questions involving the homebrew maker? And making a certain features work?

[modest pelican]

Here or #homebrew

But the best advice there often is on "how do I do X with the homebrew tools" is to find an official item that does something similar, make a copy, and see how it does it

[gleaming gulch]

It's more a technicall question.
And I tried to do a copy yeah.
I wanted to make an ability similar to Hex Warrior from Hexblade warlock. In that it lets you swap your weapon stat. However the hexblade feature only lists an action with nothing attached to it

[modest pelican]

I believe that is hard coded, which means it's written manually into the site code rather than being a modifier

Sorry

[gleaming gulch]

Damn.

I guess maybe a good idea to ask in the feedback channel them to add some features to the homebrew creator for stuff like that?

[modest pelican]

Never any harm in asking

[little plume]

how do I start im lost

[modest pelican]

#dnd-newcomers would be the place to ask

[vestal sun]

Quick thing. Im trying to adapt a homebrew class to dndbeyond, but am having trouble with a spesific ability. The ability increases the characters speed by 5 * their proficiency modifier, but there isnt any sort of gradual increase option that I can see when Im making the class feature. And when I go on the level scaling, it doesnt give me an option for speed. Is there any way to get this to work, or do I have to make new individual features for each level their proficiency modifier increases?

[steel ether]

Hi I'm trying to make a natural weapon for a character but I want the weapon to deal a D6 but I can override the base weapons D4 damage dose anyone know how to override it?

[forest glacier]

Hi, I'm trying to set additional hp per level adding an additional modifier. I have it down as Modifier -> Bonus -> Hit Points per level -> ability. This isn't working, can anyone help> (A feat is being used for this effect)

[west ice]

hey so my dm has a dndbeyond campaign and has explorers guide to wildemount but i dont see the spells on the spells I can pick from?

[balmy venture]

Only wizards of the Chronurgy or Graviturgy subclass can learn dunemantic spells, are those the spells you are referring to? And if so, is it because you are not one of those subclasses that gets dunemancy?

[west ice]

that makes sense

[cyan token]

Is it possible to add just a single new Battle Maneuver without having to make a whole new subclass to a character sheet? (homebrew)

[regal cloud]

On dnd beyond every time I long rest it resets my HP to max and I don’t think that’s supposed to happen does anyone know how to fix it?

[edgy oriole]

That's actually how the game mechanics work - Long Rests normally reset your HP to their default maximum.

There are optional rules that can change how long rests impact HP but DnDBeyond tries to adhere to the official rules.

[regal cloud]

Okay thanks

[stone bone]

Where do kit / tool proficiencys go on the DDB sheet ?

[stone bone]

Yeah that's how it was in the older editions, it's one of the things that kind of made 5e "easier", was the full healing on long rests instead of the older editions rules

[halcyon plover]

i have a question if asking if certain spells mechanic where handled in baldurs 3 could be used as inspiration for stuff in playtest in 5e would that go in baldurs gate 3 channel or playtest?

[edgy oriole]

I would post it in the Playetest channels as it most directly relates to that.

[halcyon plover]

ok

[edgy oriole]

Also for the record, these types of questions are best asked in #moderator-support as it deals directly with the server and not specifically DnDBeyond's tools and services.

[halcyon plover]

ok

[vivid flicker]

has there been any update on why the pre-order perks haven't been released yet? just not sure if i missed it in the chatter.

[reef flower]

folks is there any way to put your own backdrops on a character sheet?

[edgy oriole]

Not without using a 3rd-party web browser extension to load in your own CSS styling.

But there is no official way to do it.

[reef flower]

Hmm

Is there a way to add artwork to the official options?

because where is the bioluminescent forest option ;_;

[edgy oriole]

No - the backdrops are provided as they are and there isn't a way to add your own.

Well other than the 3rd party web browser extension to add your own styling.

[reef flower]

very sad

[edgy oriole]

But again, not an officially supported way to do it.

[reef flower]

hope they add the option to add your own

[edgy oriole]

Feel free to make that request in #ddb-feedback!

[little plume]

Hi I have a question

Can anyone be a dm and help me learn how to play

[edgy oriole]

Please use the appropriate channels to find a DM - read #find-a-game as it explains how to use our #looking-for channels.

[little plume]

Oh ok

[edgy oriole]

We also have #dnd-newcomers if you have any specific "how does this thing work?" questions for new to D&D players.

[zinc fiber]

How do I add racial options like in dragonborne

[edgy oriole]

I suggest creating a copy of Dragonborn and seeing how it's setup.

[little plume]

I’m confused

[edgy oriole]

That was for the person asking about Dragonborn racial options - this channel is for technical support for DnDBeyond's tools and services.

[pale hemlock]

what sized font does official material use? im working on homebrew and the formatting was off when I copy pasted

[pale hemlock]

okay I figured it out but in an odd way. I had to copy it from the description box, paste it onto another doc, and then from that doc copy and paste it back into the description boxes. very strange

[naive lodge]

They will be unlocked at release, which I believe is stated on the website.

[frozen oasis]

I own a subclass on dmd beyond but it won't let me select it

[lapis geyser]

what subclass. and do you own it or is it being shared with you?

[uneven lantern]

If you mean Echo Knight, make sure you have Critical Role Content enabled for that character.

[bright burrow]

Can you add anything you’ve bought from DMs Guild to D&D Beyond?

[modest pelican]

Nope, D&D Beyond doesn't support third party content at this time, nor content from previous editions

[bright burrow]

Thank you

[haughty hinge]

Has anyone come across this error before? I can access everything on DnD:B except my character sheets. Cleared data/cache and tried multiple other browsers, all with the same problem.

[edgy oriole]

Okay so you've cleared cache - did you disable any web extensions (particularly ad or script blockers)?
Also make sure you're not running on a VPN.

Wait I see something about VPN in your browser URL bar - VPNs can mess up things.

[haughty hinge]

I'm using Opera as a browser which comes with an imbuilt VPN, which is currently off

[edgy oriole]

And you've tried a different browser? Again with no web extensions or VPN on?

[haughty hinge]

Yes, also having the same issues on the moblie app

[edgy oriole]

Also make sure the browser is configured to allow 3rd-party cookies (at least on the DNDBeyond application).

Oh even the mobile app?

[haughty hinge]

yep

[edgy oriole]

Have you tried logging into DnDBeyond with a browser like Firefox (not-based on chrome in case the issue relates to something Chrome is doing)?

Oh and one of those stupid steps - have you tried restarting your machine?

I know that doesn't explain the mobile app issue though.

[haughty hinge]

Whatever the problem was seems to have just resolved itself

Only took an hour

[edgy oriole]

Maybe a region-specific "rebooting the servers" maintenance thing?

[ornate matrix]

Can you increase the max spells a bard can learn in dndbeyond?

[grizzled hearth]

Think you can manually add spells

Nope I was wrong may have to be some homebrew thing

[edgy oriole]

I believe you would need to use a feat or magical item to add more spells.

[ornate matrix]

Thanks, ill search for it and talk to my dm about my findings

[vivid flicker]

thank you! Sorry it said instantly in the same line so was just not sure which way to lean on that. Appreciate the response.

[elder summit]

can somebody help ? I want to try and make a character sheet with the ddb character builder thingy but it takes ages to load and when it's done it's just kinda- empty ? atfirst I thought it was my wifi but everything else is loading just fine

[edgy oriole]

Several things to check:

1. Make sure you are using a modern and up-to-date web browser
2. Make sure your browser allows 3rd-party cookies for DnDBeyond
3. Make sure you're not using an adblocker or VPN as these can interfere with DnDBeyond functionality
4. Rarely 3rd-party antivirus can interfere with DnDBeyond functionality.

[elder summit]

Ok ! I'll try to check those ! Thanks

[silk ember]

I'm trying to help my player add Lightning Arrow and Swift Quiver as magical secrets to their level 10 lore bard but neither appears in the list. Anyone know how to find them?

[dusty mantle]

are there any free dice rn?

[naive lodge]

Stop by the stream where we'll discuss it later.

[dusty mantle]

thank you

[craggy grotto]

im not sure why im getting this issue. is it because i have spells linked to it?

"This Item cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
This homebrew Item has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Item.
Remember, private homebrew is automatically shared with other users in your campaigns and does not need to be shared with the community for players to access."

[naive lodge]

Most likely, without knowing the spells, yes.

[uneven lantern]

Unless you’re trying to publish to the global community, though (after it’s been fully completed and playtested), then you can just ignore those warnings.

Your own homebrew gets shared with your campaigns automatically and can be used as-is.

But ultimately, anything published to the global community is restricted to Basic Rules content only.

[craggy grotto]

Oh OK. So spells from xanthars will block it then for example. I hope the exporter works on private content.

[quaint herald]

Just reporting a bug on the character sheet. Tested in incognito without extensions. When damage is applied that reduces your health to 0 it seems to prevent any further scrollwheel events from triggering. Can still use the scrollbar and a refresh resolves it. This only happens when applying damage using the box on the sheet not in the sidebar. Example in video. Using chrome 115 on windows 11.

[woven rose]

I'm not sure where to ask this but it "kind of" fits here:
My server is trying to decide upon which VTT to use, we've been using TotM while waiting for D&D Beyond's VTT but we've gained some new to D&D members and teaching them straight TotM isn't easy in this age of video games. So we decided to look into a VTT and settled upon Roll20 for now. Before I devote too much time to learning how it works and the various tricks for it has there been any update upon the ETA of D&D Beyond's VTT?

[modest pelican]

There haven't been any announcements made regarding the digital play experience from Wizards of the Coast or any ETAs

[woven rose]

Disappointing.. thank you. Guess I'll have to learn more about Roll20 then I'd prefer.

[hallow sky]

Greetings adventurers! I'm trying to add the magic initiate feat to my lvl 2 wizard but the DNDBeyond character sheet interface doesn't show any feats available. I'm new to playing so I may have missed something. I have access to the player's handbook in DNDbeyond.

[bronze mulch]

I was making a wizard the other day, and when I went to choose their school of magic I was only able to select Evocation. Am I missing something? Are they there and I just missed them?

[uneven lantern]

When you say you have access to it, does that mean it’s being shared with you? Shared character options are available only inside the campaign that’s sharing it.

[halcyon plover]

do you own any books on ebyond

[uneven lantern]

The Basic Rules include one subclass for each class. For wizards, that’s School of Evocation.

Other books offer additional subclass choices, or you can buy a subclass by itself, too.

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

[bronze mulch]

No I do not. That makes sense. Thanks y’all

[little plume]

yo so on d&d beyong all my multichoice options for martial archetype and feat are gone except for one each on fighter

[stiff wave]

What do all the races do?

[uneven lantern]

Were the other ones being shared with you through a campaign? Shared character options are available only inside the campaign that’s sharing them.

[uneven lantern]

You can read here about how races work in the game.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/races

If you have any more specific questions about it, I’d suggest asking in #dnd-newcomers.

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

[gentle veldt]

Hey! I need help with making a homebrew feat in the DNDBeyond homebrew creator, but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to imploment the features I want for this feat. Anyone in here know their way around the DNDBeyond homebrew creator?

[uneven lantern]

You'll probably have better luck by just explaining the problem itself. Without any further information, the best anyone can suggest is to find an official feat that works similarly, so you can make a homebrew copy of it and see how it was set up.

[gentle veldt]

That actually might be a good idea

I'll go try that thank you ahahah

[grave bone]

How do I input my maps from ddb to my server for a session

[uneven lantern]

Copy+paste

[grave bone]

Ok

[mortal night]

hi could someone judge my weapons to see if it's alright to be use?

https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/7146826-rites-of-the-vajra-treasures

[modest pelican]

You want #character-discussion, this channel is a technical support type channel

[mortal night]

thanks

[kind osprey]

is DnD Beyond character sheets not loading for people, im getting a Error 500 authentication issue, but i can access my profile tho ?

[edgy oriole]

I suggest giving it 10-15 minutes and try it again. There could be updates/maintenance happening.

[kind osprey]

yeah issue has been on-going for a solid 60 mins now - occurs other people in my Country - on multiple devices and browsers

[modest pelican]

I'm able to load my characters, so that suggests it's not a sitewide/global issue
Can you try the following basic troubleshooting steps

1. Clear cache and reload
2. Try loading a character in a different browser
3. Try loading a character in an incognito window
4. If people, load a character on a different internet connection (say mobile data on a phone)

[kind osprey]

Yep tried all that already - still same outcome

[tidal glacier]

I've also done all that and its been 2 hours now

(Since I could load into the My Characters, or load a character sheet.

[kind osprey]

is there any mechanism to submit a support ticket in-regards to this issue or track current outages / tracked issues with DnD Beyond ?

[edgy oriole]

Okay at this point there may be a regional outage in your area. I’d recommend creating a support ticket: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[upper prairie]

I am also struggling to load up the character sheets on the website
Hello im new here

[odd crown]

is this where i get help for the homebrew builder?

[dense viper]

On the Combat Tracker is there a way to automatically remove NPCs who have hit 0hp from the Initiative list?

[modest pelican]

#homebrew would be a good place to ask

[modest pelican]

not automatically, no

[rocky quest]

so i need some help can somebody explain to me why i cant sign up to D&D beyond with google

so i need some help

[modest pelican]

what exactly is the error you get?

[rocky quest]

i just didnt get a error it just does nothing

i click on it and nothing happens

[modest pelican]

You need to check that your browser has third party cookies enabled and you're not blociking popups

[rocky quest]

i might have not done third party cookies mabey i clicked on wrong button but is there anyway to still turn it on

[modest pelican]

That would depend on your browser, you'll have to google how to do it

[rocky quest]

k

[zinc fiber]

How do I add a ac increase to a race

@modest pelican how do I add ac increase to a race

[modest pelican]

I can't help with that at this precise moment. You shouldn't randomly ping people with your questions either

[zinc fiber]

Ok

[grim breach]

Hey guys, I’m trying to reassign a character sheet to another user, but as the DM of the campaign, I see the deactivate option, but I can’t find the unassign option like I thought it used to have. Is that not an option anymore? Or would they have to unassign on the original account only?

And then if they don’t have access to that account anymore, how might we be able to get their character sheet moved over to their new account?

[uneven lantern]

You’re trying to reassign one of your own characters or someone else’s?

You can only unassign your own characters.

[grim breach]

No, it’s another player who lost access to his account. So we’re trying to get his character sheet moved to a new account.

[uneven lantern]

Only the account that owns that character can unassign it.

[grim breach]

Dang, alright. I guess we’ll have to rebuild it then.

[uneven lantern]

If you don’t have access to that account, you’d need to recreate the character or talk to customer service about account recovery options.

[grim breach]

Yeah…….. we’re just gonna remake it.

[uneven lantern]

That all depends on how you’re trying to increase it.

Without specifics, the best anyone can recommend is to find an official race that does what you want, then make a homebrew copy of it and steal its secrets.

[proven valley]

So when I go to my campaign I dont get the share content button for some reason

[uneven lantern]

I assume you have a Master Tier subscription.

That allows you to activate Content Sharing for up to five campaigns. How many have you activated so far?

If you’ve hit the limit, you can potentially deactivate an old campaign and then add it to the new one.

Or if someone else activates it, your content will still be shared in the campaign as well.
