I can't help with Phandelver and Below access as I'm not sure that deployment has completed

I was just trying to help with the corrupted banner

[teal oracle]

Okay then I keep waiting and see when it does work or not work.

but the banner finally loaded so theres that.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the banner is unrelated to the book release.

As for the book, though: did you purchase the physical+digital bundle? That's the only way to get into the early access today.

Otherwise, the book will be available on release day, September 19th.

[teal oracle]

Id have to double check bit I believe I did..... ah yeah nope I didn't 🤣

Okay that explains that. Sry for that throuble. Havent gotten digital only since dragonlance

[little raft]

I did get the bundle but as far as I see it hasn’t released yet

[uneven lantern]

And you redeemed the code for it?

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

[little raft]

Yes

[brazen patrol]

Did anyone do the pre-order digital/physical bundle for Bigby's? How long after the actual release date did it take to get your book? I want to do it for Planescape, but it took FOREVER when I did the Dragonlance bundle. Has it gotten better?

[little raft]

And yes

I redeemed over a week ago

[uneven lantern]

And what happens when you try to access the book?

[teal oracle]

I did, my Book came a Day before release to me in Germany with french post.

The dragonlance bundle and the golden vault one did take longer for me.

[brazen patrol]

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

[stuck cosmos]

Sorry for the stupid question but anyway I joined a campaign and got shared a couple books from it. I downloaded them but if I try to use character building options it doesn’t show up I hope I worded that correctly

[edgy oriole]

You’ll need to create the character inside the DnDBeyond campaign that is sharing that content with you to be able to use it.

[stuck cosmos]

Ohhh ok

[storm forum]

In DMG, healing potions (the common variant with no descriptors like "greater") are introduced in the magic items list. DDB however, lists only greater and up as magic items and the common one as merely equipment, as you can see here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/equipment/potion-of-healing and you can notice in the category page https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/4708-potion-of-healing that healing is colored green for normal items instead of blue for magic items.

Seemingly DMG and DDB are in conflict about this: Is it an errata/clarification on the DMG text or a data entry error on DDB?

[uneven lantern]

The standard healing potion is listed as equipment because it appears in the PHB as equipment.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/equipment#OtherAdventuringGear

[storm forum]

Does this mean that it's specifically a magic item a) always b) sometimes or c) never?

[uneven lantern]

It's definitely always magical, since it's referred to in both books as such.

If there's a scenario in which it being specifically a magic item matters, then #dnd-rules can help clarify.

[storm forum]

I'm asking for "magic item" as in the rules concept, not mere "magical" in natural language

[uneven lantern]

That's a question for #dnd-rules.

[storm forum]

the problem arises from how it is defined on DDB and whether that can be taken as an authoritative description of the item, though

[modest pelican]

It's defined in D&D Beyond per how it's defined in the rules

[storm forum]

I'm trying to confirm whether that DDB page can be confirmed to be correct rulings or if it's possible that it's a result of error in data entry

[modest pelican]

As stated, D&D Beyond correctly lists a standard potion of healing as part of adventuring gear because the Player's Handbook lists it under adventuring gear

This does not change the fact that it is a magic item as stated in the Dungeon Master's Guide

[storm forum]

Are the PHB and DMG rules in this case referring to one and same item or two different items with the same name? If the former, then there is an error in the DDB entry as it is lacking mentioning important data

[modest pelican]

There is no error, they're the same item listed in both the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. All information found in those books is presented in D&D Beyond

[storm forum]

That is simply not true: The DDB page for it does not present it as a magic item

in which case that error should definitely be corrected on DDB

[modest pelican]

If you're refering to the listing, that is because an item can only be presented in one area of the database, not two simultaneously

However, if you look at this page you'll see that potion of healing is listed

[storm forum]

so the answer to my original question is that it's simply an error on DDB and not a clarification or errata to DMG suggesting it not being a magic item. Thanks.

[modest pelican]

There is no error, potion of healing is adventuring gear that's also a magic item, therefore it is listed as adventuring gear and a magic item separately due to the fact a lists page cannot be both

It's not an error

It's the site displaying the information correctly as intended

[storm forum]

it's not an error if a magic item is not labeled a magic item?

[modest pelican]

Potion of healing is adventuring gear and a magic item

It is labelled as a magic item here

It's also labelled as adventuring gear here

Because, per the rules, it falls under both

[storm forum]

if you hover over it there you can see it is not and it's even colored differently to draw attention to it

[modest pelican]

Well, your question has been answered

[storm forum]

so if, say, the entry of vorpal blade, happened to lack the label "magic item" that would not be an error either?

I do understand that the site may have technical limitations forcing the display of incorrect information but that is still incorrect and possibly something a developer ticket should be submitted for to potentially rectify in the future

[uneven lantern]

Again, is there a scenario in which this labeling matters?

It would be a lot easier to make the case that something should be changed if there's a clear reason to change it.

[storm forum]

plenty of rules specifically refer to magic items for buying/selling them etc.

I don't think it's a great standard to not fix missing or incorrect information merely because it may not often come up in actual play. More minor stuff has been errata'd previously and if DDB is to be an official source of rules it should seek to represent them as faithfully as possible, not just "where it matters"

[modest pelican]

The rules state that a potion of healing is both adventuring gear and a magic item, does D&D Beyond not present it as both adventuring gear and a magic item?

As spam has said, actionable feedback is the most useful kind, hence why it's useful to have a scenario where an issue arrises

[storm forum]

DDB does not present it as a magic item as seen on it's own page here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/equipment/potion-of-healing

[modest pelican]

I linked to where it does present it as a magic item

[uneven lantern]

That page matches what is presented in the PHB.

[modest pelican]

If it presented it as a magic item on that page, that would be misleading as it is adventuring gear as well

[storm forum]

And I linked to the page where is it not, is that page somehow more exempt to being correct than the other?

[modest pelican]

That page you linked reproduces this information from the adventuring gear section

[storm forum]

It's come up multiple times in discussions I've had about whether regular potions of healing should be subject to the suggestions on scarcity and buying as described in the DMG

[modest pelican]

That would be a question for the Sage Advice blog rather than D&D Beyond

The rules list it in two locations; the players handbook equipment section and the dungeon master's guide magic item section

[storm forum]

but as you say it's supposed to refer to the same item as described in DMG, in which case it would make sense to feature the full description of the item

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond matches that

What that means rules wise is not a question for this channel I'm afraid

[uneven lantern]

To clarify: there is nowhere in the rules that state whether these two entries refer to the same thing or not.

[storm forum]

even on the generic healing potions page if you mouse over the regular one the tooltip shows it not being a magic item compared to the other potions and the text color is different to make it more obvious

[uneven lantern]

The equipment listing matches what is described in the PHB as equipment.

The magic item listing matches what is described in the DMG as a magic item.

In both cases, the match the books as written.

[storm forum]

which one of you two should I trust in this as you've said completely opposite things here?

[modest pelican]

No we haven't? We're in agreement; D&D Beyond matches what's printed in the books

[storm forum]

here you state that they are the one and same item, which is contradicting what spam just said

[modest pelican]

Oh, that's got nothing to do with this channel

That's purely rules

Again, if you want to engage with that discussion, #dnd-rules would be the best place to ask

[uneven lantern]

To clarify further: we're only moderators here on Discord. We're not the arbiters of the rules themselves.

If there was a case in which the information on D&D Beyond did not match what is printed in the books, we could pass along that information for the staff's consideration.

[modest pelican]

Spam and I often disagree on the rules

[uneven lantern]

But in this case, since the listings accurately reflect what and how the potion of healing is reflected in the books, there's nothing for us to do in this case.

It simply exists in two books with two different descriptions.

[storm forum]

I still believe that the page for regular healing potion, listing it as equipment instead of magic item, does not match what is printed in the DMG, but if you don't see the discrepancy it's not like I can force you to pass it along

[uneven lantern]

Correct. The equipment listing matches the equipment description from the PHB.

[modest pelican]

That page, as has been stated multiple times, reproduces what is listed in the equipment section

[edgy oriole]

It is the way D&D has chosen to represent it in the Players Handbook and this is what DnDBeyond has followed. At this point we should move on and leave the channel open for technical support issues with DnDBeyonds tools and services.

[storm forum]

assuming you are not djinnis, you do have to see how while technically correct how nonsensical the end result is?

[uneven lantern]

If the fact that its listed in two books with two different descriptions makes the rules unclear, that's a concern for the rules itself. DDB simply strives to present the rules as written.

[modest pelican]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reaction-mood-1hMk0bfsSrG32Nhd5K

[full flare]

Hey any idea why the app is trying to charge me full price for the DMG and the MM that are on sale...?

[edgy oriole]

Because app stores don't have an easy way for DnDBeyond/WoTC to change pricing for sales - if you want to buy the sale price, please use the website marketplace.

[full flare]

Can do, just gotta wait til I'm home in that case

[trim sentinel]

is there a way to play homebrew subclasses or races on D&D beyond?

[edgy oriole]

Yes - folks can make and use homebrewed subclasses and homebrewed races.
But due to limitations of DnDBeyond's systems, it does not support hombrew classes or homebrew mundane items.

[trim sentinel]

ok thx

[lucid needle]

I'm trying to make a homebrew magic item my dm gave my character, it allows my character to cast mending as an action instead of one minute. Is there a way in making the item to change the casting time of the spell, or should I make a homebrew spell version of mending that has the reduced casting time?

[uneven lantern]

Not possible as a magic item, but you could either homebrew the spell or pair the item with a homebrew feat.

[lucid needle]

alright, that's what I figured. Thank you

[storm chasm]

can i buy options from taldorei reborn a la carte like i can for other books?

[uneven lantern]

Those are only available with the purchase of the book itself.

[storm chasm]

ah damn ok, thanks you!

[grand vault]

Hey im new
Can anyone tell me how to calculate the damage here
What does to hit mean?

[edgy oriole]

The creature rolls a D20 and add that +8 as it's "To Hit" bonus. If that is higher than the target's AC, it is a hit. Then either use the 13 flat damage, or roll 2d8 and add 4 for damage.

Then the otehr effects take hold if it successfully hits.

For further questions, this would be best fit in #dnd-rules or #dm-discussion

[grand vault]

No i think that covers it thanks

[radiant jasper]

Is there a way to change my profiles name I never got an option to when I made it

[solid kestrel]

How do you make a monster snippet (such as [monster]mimic[/monster] here) display as a plural? I want a "Mimics" word in the red monster text to hyperlink to the Mimic statblock.

[edgy oriole]

You might have to keep the s separate from the mimic text. So [monster]mimic[/monster]s.

[solid kestrel]

But then it's not the red hyperlink text. It'd be like Mimics

[modest pelican]

Those aren't snippets by the way, they're tooltips

You can give tooltips alt text
so [monster]mimic;mimics[/monster] should display Mimics but function as a mimic tooltip

[solid kestrel]

Ah, thank you Davyd

[modest pelican]

There's a general syntax
[tooltip]tooltip_name;displayed_text[/tooltip]

[edgy oriole]

So the semi-colon make it display the plural word but tells the behind the scene's code to do the lookup for the first word?

Interesting. Today I learned....

[solid kestrel]

Seems so, like function word first, then display as the second word

[modest pelican]

On the topic of monsters, you can also specify source
[monster src=vgtm]Vegepygmy[/monster] will link to Vegepygmy from Volo's Guide to Monsters
[monster src=motm]Vegepygmy[/monster] will link to Vegepygmy from Monsters of the Multiverse
You can get the source code from the URL of the book

[edgy oriole]

Very cool!

My friend is trying to be an artificer and they don’t know what slider to turn on to get it, so is it a setting or do you need to pay?

There is no official vampire player race.

Hello,
I'm considering pre-ordering the Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse Digital + Physical Bundle but unlike previous pre-order bundles, it is not clearly stated that dndbeyond perks (dice, backdrop, etc...) will be unlocked.

Digital/physical bundles do indeed grant you the digital pre-order bonuses when you redeem the key that is emailed to you on completing your purchase

You copy and existing monster and apply the sidekick changes to the stat block

Hey all, I noticed that the Bloodshed weapons say "add constitution modifer to attack and damage rolls"

Bloodshed Blade. We currently have no way to add a character’s Constitution modifier to the damage rolls of this weapon. We recommend customizing the weapon directly from the character sheet to add the appropriate bonus to damage.

[lilac dirge]

Is there a way to add spells to a monster's stat block?

if you want to upload druid sub class, what would be the requirements? i just finished my own druid sub class and it says "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels." i have 2 level 2, a level 6, a level 10 and a level 14 feature, which is the same amount as the circle of stars. what am i missing?

[modest pelican]

druid has a hidden level 3 requirement that is baked into the base class to support Circle of the Land which gets a level 3 feature

[versed sandal]

so i need 2 level 2 and a level 3 as well then?

or just 1 level 2 and a level 3

[modest pelican]

you need at least one feature at each required level (which includes level 3) if you need to publish it

[versed sandal]

ok thank you

[uneven lantern]

Might depend on what exactly you're trying to add, but if it's just a fixed number, then there's a couple Modifiers you can use.

• Type: Bonus (and/or Damage)
• Subtype: Unarmed Strikes
• Fixed Value: 1 (or whatever number you want to add)

[untold snow]

Hey can i have someone help me out? Im new to using dnd beyond and whenever i make a spell it doesnt allow you to role for hit.

i have it set up to role damage, but for rolling for hit stays blank for some reason

[uneven lantern]

The best way to figure out the homebrew system is to find an official spell that works the way you want, then make a homebrew copy of it to see how it was set up.

Steal its secrets 🤫

My guess, though, is that you need to select an ability score.

[untold snow]

im homebrewing a one piece dnd, (Its my first campaign lol so probably not the best idea) but how do i copy spells

[uneven lantern]

When you go to create a spell, you can select an existing spell as a template.

Doing so will give you an exact copy of it.

So then you can peek inside and compare it to yours.

Oh, actually...

Under "Additional Information", did you set "Attack Type"?

[untold snow]

yea i set it to ranged

[uneven lantern]

Was it set that way to begin with, or did you edit it in afterward?

Sometimes homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes to appear on the character sheet.

[untold snow]

dnd beyond can be so confusing lmao. i did set everything up from the beginning tho.

Standard debugging questions

1. Have you checked your account entitlements (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace) that is there and everything is in sync
2. Did you definitely order the Physical & Digital bundle that gives early access?

[uneven lantern]

3. If you got the bundle, did you redeem the code?

[uneven lantern]

Unless you're trying to publish it to the global community (after it's been finished and playtested and works as intended), you can just ignore those errors altogether. It gets shared with your campaigns automatically and can be used as-is.

But if you've got features at the required levels, I'd suggest hitting the main save button to re-trigger the validation.

If that doesn't clear the error, then you don't have features at the required levels.

Druids need features at 2, 3, 6, 10, and 14.

Does purchasing the Rune Carver background also get you the Rune Shaper feat?

Alternatively, you can use a homebrew race, subclass, or background to add them to your spell list.

[round wren]

Hey! I work at a community college library where we are considering starting to provide 5e materials to students and staff. We haven’t decided between going physical or going digital or doing some sort of split between the two so I am here to get some some insight about the dndb master subscription.

1. I see that with the master subscription tier we would be able to share materials we purchased. Does that mean people we shared with would actually be able to read the books? Also is that just sourcebooks or would that also include adventures?
2. Is there a way where to confirm the email of people we share materials with? Administration would very likely want us to be able to verify that the people we are sharing with are students or staff.

[uneven lantern]

The Master Tier subscription lets you enable content sharing for up to five campaigns. Each campaign can support up to 12 players (plus the DM) and up to 100 characters.

When the subscription is enabled, any books owned by anyone in that campaign are shared with everyone else in the campaign.

They'd be able to read the full book (unless the DM chooses to restrict sharing for that particular book), but any shared character options are usable only for characters within that campaign.

You would be able to see the D&D Beyond usernames for anyone in those campaigns, but not their email addresses.

In your particular case, I'd suggest applying for a D&D Beyond Educator License here:
https://dnd.wizards.com/resources/educators

[round wren]

Oh wow i probably should have looked for something like that right from the start! Thank you for the answers and the link. Much appreciated!

is the bloodwell vial supposed to give the bonuses for warlock/pact of the blade spells if you multiclass as well? I saw the errata that says that there is an error on ddb about that, but my player is arguing that there's something about how pact of the blade warlock works that makes it work. I'm not so sure.

[raven tundra]

Is there any way to get the blood hunter to show up in the ddb app like all the other classes?

[modest pelican]

No, not currently as the app doesn't support listing homebrew

[uneven lantern]

That’s more of a #dnd-rules question, but…

You can use the vial as a spellcasting focus for your spells while wearing or holding it, and you gain a bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your sorcerer spells.

The first part would work for warlock spells, since it just says “spells”.

And the second part works only for sorcerer spells, because it says “sorcerer spells”.

[tender briar]

What's the best way to get started?
I've played D&D back in the day (when you had to buy the coloured boxes as you levelled up) & more recently have played some Baldur's Gate.
Means I'm used to playing solo & at my pace

[uneven lantern]

Anything in your My Homebrew Collection gets shared, so you can simply remove it from there. (You’ll still be able to find it in My Homebrew Creations instead.)

[uneven lantern]

Not sure what codes you’re referring to. There aren’t generally redemption codes for the physical books.

And Volo’s, at least, is no longer sold. (Monsters of the Multiverse offers updated versions of those rules.)

[lone void]

Also isn't DDB more recent than 2016?
Edit: Yup, August 2017 was the launch date

[uneven lantern]

But you can use the homebrew tools to recreate that content instead.

Or you can purchase just the character options, monsters, etc. that you need for now.

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

[sour star]

Great, thanks, Spam! I didn't realize removing it from my collection would keep it in my creations. I'm the last to accuse my players of metagaming, but it's always bugged me to think they could simply look up the custom monster and ruin the surprise I spent so much time on.

[timid rock]

I can't spend money right now for something I basically already have. Thanks WoTC for paywalling me

I'm gonna use dicecloud

[uneven lantern]

Check out #dnd-newcomers!

[uneven lantern]

It’s not paywalling per se. There’s simply no way to be able to verify whether a user owns those physical copies.

And like I said, you can use the homebrew tools to recreate the content of your books at no cost.

[neon vine]

Hai,
is it intentional that the proficiencies you get from your background do not appear as option for expertise in the Rogue class features?

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[neon vine]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/108242476/y71ZJa

Nevermind... once I opened the character sheet, it updated and allowed the choice.

One thing I also noticed - before I opened the sheet, the dropdown for the Rogue proficiency selection didn't show the background in brackets for those skills.
I suspect it wasn't detecting the custom background?

[uneven lantern]

Ah, yeah

Sometimes adding custom background proficiencies can take a minute to pop up on the rest of the sheet.

[pure socket]

How do I make a Subrace a subrace to my race (I’ve made a Race with [Has subraces] ticked, and then made a subrace with the button) , but it doesn’t give it the features (I’ve used elf as the reference/copy) in the edit section, and when I want to replace Languages it doesn’t allow me to replace it because it isn’t there. (You may need to @ me so I can see your response).

As in, I’ve made a Race, as a copy of Elf, then ticked [Has subraces] and made a subrace, but I can’t group it as a subrace nor does it appear as a Subrace the same way as Elves.

Two versions of the same subrace when I was trying to solve this

[shrewd knoll]

Whenever I try to load my homebrew creations or make a new homebrew option, usually only when editing, the website slows down significantly before loading it for a while. Any idea what's causing this?

[steep coyote]

Honestly, right now the site is taking significantly longer than normal to load pretty much anything.

[lone void]

It is a weekend, might be higher load, plus additional unrelated load on whatever web services DDB is hosted on

[shrewd knoll]

oh ok, I was getting worried that I just had so much homebrew it was breaking the game. Glad to hear that's not the case. Though, not glad to see the site isn't working like, at all for me now. I tried clearing my cache and now it straight up won't load me into the website when I try to sign back in

It's fine I guess, I'll just have to mess with the site later then

[lone void]

Standard debugging questions.

1. Have you disabled any extensions that may be interfering with the site?
2. Any VPN active etc?

[nimble cove]

It's extremely delayed for our group as well. Clearing cache no help, neither was a restart or different browser. We are back on now but it is on and off

[naive lodge]

There is currently some extra load and the devs are attempting to fix it. There may be some downtime as they do so.

[boreal rose]

ah, thanks.

[glass raft]

Yeah it crashed on my end too. It’s Saturday I guess.

[edgy oriole]

Devs are looking into a load issue - they hope to have it resolved soon. There may be some downtime as they work on a solution.

[fallow galleon]

Any updates on the downtime?

[naive lodge]

We will say something here if there is any update on it.

We do ask that you wait for us to have an update so we can best utilize this channel.

[crystal charm]

I have a question about how to add something to a homebrew class on DDB. Should I post that question here, in the homebrew channel, or somewhere else altogether?

[naive lodge]

You can ask here, but the likely answer is to find something that already does it or something similiar, and make a copy to see how they do it.

[crystal charm]

I feel really dumb, but I think I just figured it out. I didn't know how to add a proficiency bonus to an action in the race builder... but I just had to save the trait and then it showed up. My bad, lol

[naive lodge]

I am told that maintenance appears to have been successful and that it should be smoother now.

[agile pulsar]

kind of ruins the point of keeping everything on file convieniently tho
honestly i wish they still sold volo's and mordekainen's
there was a lot of fun lore in those books
i don't really see why they had to be removed

[tranquil seal]

Hey, I have a question. So thinking of buying a few campigns, player handbook and DM handbook, can i run the full campign through DnD beyond? Cause i saw a map pack to buy and such

[uneven lantern]

Depends on what exactly you mean by “run the full campaign”. 😅

[wise prawn]

Is there a way to have DDB roll a random character and NOT use Homebrew?

[mint hull]

Hi. I bought all sub-classes, feats and spells for my account. CanI share that with my party in my campaign?

[uneven lantern]

If someone in your group has a Master Tier subscription, they can enable Content Sharing for your campaign.

Once that's enabled, everyone's purchased game content gets shared with everyone else.

And they'll be able to use those character options for any characters in that campaign.

[uneven lantern]

I believe the only option would be to remove anything you don't want from your My Homebrew Collection. (Anything you created could still be found in My Homebrew Creations instead.)

[tranquil seal]

ty, this answers a lot

[earnest owl]

Hello, I'm just getting started with a campaign (we're all pretty new) and using DDB. I want to use a homebrew class (ink mage) and I'm looking for a way to accomplish this on DDB, is it possible?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond does not support homebrew classes I'm afraid

[pastel dove]

Is there a way to restore a previous version of a character sheet?

[earnest owl]

Is there an alternative you could recommend??

[sour star]

Is there a way to create a magic item that casts spells with a check box next to each spell? For example, Necklace of Prayer Beads has beads that contain a spell that can be cast once per day, but the item shows in inventory as if it has charges, so you have to keep track separately which spell has been cast.

[modest pelican]

No, not currently

[modest pelican]

There isn't in afraid

[earnest owl]

Ah ok, thanks!

[pastel dove]

Ok, thanks!

[gusty herald]

Is it possible to have a feature that allows assigning digital dice to characters ?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by assigning digital dice to characters?

[gusty herald]

Something like when I'm using PC A's sheet, it automatically uses digital dice 1 but when I'm using PC B's sheet, it automatically uses digital dice 2 and so on.

[modest pelican]

Oh, you mean to set what dice skin is used on a sheet-by-sheet basis? No, that's not currently possible

[woven creek]

Where do I find a campaign?

[gusty herald]

Yes exactly that.
Do you have an idea if it's something that is planned in the future ?

[dense mason]

I want my party to make their character sheets on ddb, but all of them have selected races and classes from wildly different books, which will cost me a bunch of money on top of the subscription for content sharing, I know you can individually buy certain thing's from the books, but can you also share this with your players?

[naive lodge]

Yes you can, with the higher tier subscription. However the DM does not need to be the one with the subscription (nor the one with the content, who also doesn't have to be the subscriber).

[dense mason]

As long as someone has the higher tier subscription I can I can share the individual race/classes with my party?

[uneven lantern]

Assuming that subscriber activated Content Sharing for your campaign, yes.

[raven tundra]

Hello, I bought a physical + digital bundle for The Book of Many Things and I activated the digital code on dndbeyond but when I click on the book it doesn't say I own it.
Usually after I preorder a book digitally, there's some text that says "You already own this." when I click on it.

[dire blade]

You may need to try to Sync Entitlements on your account page. It also sometimes takes a little to process. If it doesn’t show up, though, I’d open a support ticket through the website.

[raven tundra]

Ok so the book appears in my "Product Licences" but it doesn't show as owned in the Marketplace.
Is this the channel to report a bug?

[dire blade]

It might just not be hooked up yet on DDB. If you’ve got it in your licenses, you’ll get access to it when it’s time!

[raven tundra]

It's not about the licence, I have that. It just doesn't appear as owned in the marketplace.

[uneven lantern]

That’s the intended behavior.

The code you’ve redeemed is a separate license that provides a two-week early access to the digital version.

Whereas the marketplace page is looking for the license that unlocks it on release day.

After the book is released, the two licenses will be merged and then you’ll see “You already own this” as expected.

[raven tundra]

Thanks for the insight.

[raven tundra]

The dates don't feel right. I know this isn't dndbeyond but maybe we should get some clarification. When is the book actually coming out? DDB says November, dndstore says October.

[uneven lantern]

The /us and /uk sites both agree with D&D Beyond on November 14th.

That’s also two weeks after the specified early access date, on which all sites agree.

So I’m assuming the /eu site simply has the wrong date.

October 17th is also the release date for Planescape, which could explain a mixup.

[raven tundra]

Ok. It's been like this since the book was announced. No one seems to have caught the error :))

[smoky hatch]

What class or feat give me Whip as a weapon
I can't find it I was going to go for Sorceress and bard
as to me a Whip is the best weapon for Succubus

[odd pewter]

Any class that gives martial weapon proficiency. Also, there is the option of some races getting weapon proficiencies and switching those weapons with Tasha's optional rules. Finally, there is a feat that gives weapon proficiencies assuming you are allowed to use optional feats. Ask your DM

[smoky hatch]

did you just reword it for me thanks :p

[odd pewter]

succubus.. it appears your gm is already homebrewing for you just ask them to add whip to the race. Also, not sure that this qualifies as DDB's issue.

[smoky hatch]

I don't have gm and When I said Succubus I mean winged Tiefling which is closest I just like making characters for fun

[rose hawk]

Hey idk if this is a bug or a new update to dndbeyond, but I can no longer edit my players' characters in my campaign? This kinda sucks since that was always a convenient way to help players level up PCs and manage their characters

[modest pelican]

There's been no change in that functionality
How are you accessing their character, through the campaign or via URL you have saved/bookmarked?

[rose hawk]

Collections -> My Campaigns -> View Campaign -> Edit (on character)

[modest pelican]

And what happens when you try and edit the character?

[rose hawk]

No options appear, only the descriptions of each section (class, abilities, equipment, etc)
I should also mention this problem seems to persist between multiple devices and different browsers on each
(Sorry, had to wait out slowmode haha)

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character?

[rose hawk]

It seems to be happening with every character in the campaign. Here's the link to one of them, and some screenshots of the problem itself
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/108363907

[modest pelican]

Have you tried clicking the arrows?

If the character has the builder tutorial enabled, whenever you click a tab at the top, you'll get the guide first

However, you can access the relevant page by clicking the next arrow

You can disable the tutorial by clicking the blue questionmark circle

[rose hawk]

[tardy grove]

Can you create non humanoid races using the DDB homebrew creator? And if so, how?

[idle arch]

I made a copy of the Satyr race, to see how they structured it. I looks like they have it listed as a Racial Trait called "Creature Type"

There is no special mechanic to it other than just writing "you are a [blank]" in the text boxes

[tardy grove]

Thanks, that makes sense because I don’t think a character’s creature type is ever mentioned in a DDB character sheet.

[dire blade]

Did you (or your DM) add it to your (their) collection? That’s a necessary step for it to show in a campaign.

[full jetty]

Is there a way where the link isn't a pdf?

[main garnet]

I have an extra Light cantrip on my spells list, but I can't find a way to delete it? it only shows up on the character sheet, not when I'm in the editor. the slot says both "always prepared" and "delete", but when I click to delete it gives me an error.

[dense viper]

Did you enable homebrew for the character you want this added to? Asking because it's often overlooked.

[charred lake]

yeah, that was what it was. thanks 🙂

[brazen thunder]

Hey! I'm kinda new to DnD and am gonna be uising DnD Beyond for it but I've got a question. If I buy the virtual Players Handbook as the DM, will my players get the benefits when creating a character? Like will they have access to the extra subclasses/feats/spells that come with the handbook or does it mean only I get them if I make a character?

[scenic grove]

the custom background isn't showing my selected proficiencies on the character sheet

ok, I got it to work... just had to mess around in the background tab for a while

[fading niche]

Which supply do I need in order to make a character that is a lizardfolk?

[tardy grove]

What subclass of cleric are you?

[stone halo]

Hi! I just want to get some confirmation with somebody that could help me, a friend group of mine that I've been getting to know a lot lately came down to the agreement of wanting to play a campaign sometime next week assuming we at least.

And so I decided to reuse beyond again, but the thing is that I don't have any of the source books so I went to go finally buy one of the source books but I just want to confirm that even though it's getting me an address to put in I won't be receiving any physical copies if I were to get something that's digital right?

[modest pelican]

Correct, any purchases made through D&D Beyond are for digital only and the address requirement is just for security and tax verification

However, purchases made throught dndstore.wizards.com are for digital + physical bundles so will include a physical copy of the book in addition to a code for the digital version

So tl;dr
dndbeyond.com = Digital Only
dndstore.wizards.com = Digital + Physical Bundles

[haughty blade]

This isn't dnd beyond help but it's just general help with D&D

So me and my friends want to do Dungeons and Dragons one of my friends said I would only play if our characters are involved and our worlds and we needed to find a dungeon master but I stepped in and said sure I will be the dungeon master now I got all these cool ideas for custom but there's a problem I don't know how dnd works I only played once and that was a couple of years ago and I'm expected to do most of the stuff I've already made like a little map but I haven't added the details on it so it's just a plane map with nothing on it no buildings nothing and I also don't know how leveling system works I don't know how to make a balanced stat block just basically anything so I'm just asking help for someone to just give me advice or how to do certain things because now I have to merge stories and make a bunch of customs lol

[modest pelican]

@haughty blade This channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond specifically

You probably want #dm-discussion

[heavy kiln]

Idk if this is the right channel or not. I'm trying to grant spells at a certain level, but if I add spells to my class feature it displays them as options in the builder
Where do i enter them to just grant the spell at level 3 or 5, etc.

[charred lake]

In the subclass, go to the class feature, down in the bottom, click "add spell" and then fill it in as either known or prepared.

Or did you want it as a spelllist where they have options?

[uneven lantern]

Someone in your group would need to get a Master Tier subscription and enable Content Sharing for that campaign.

[uneven lantern]

You can find that in Monsters of the Multiverse. You can buy either the full book or just that race.

[uneven lantern]

In the homebrew editor, you need to add each spell as its own separate entry.

If you list multiple spells in a single entry, it will prompt the player to choose between them.

[brazen thunder]

Thank you so much!

[ionic harness]

Is there a way to change the range on a weapon on DND Beyond?

[charred lake]

Not sure if its possible yet but I suggest, from what I found, is customize weapons to add "Actual Range (x/y)" to the Notes, at least for reference.

[fringe cedar]

If you buy individual parts of sourcebooks can you still share them with your players using content sharing? The content management screen seems to only show books I own in their entirety. For example I own all the subclasses, subraces and spells from the Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide but nothing relating to it appears on my content management list. I do own a master sub and I've already tried disabling/re-enabling content sharing

[modest pelican]

Yes you can, the content management screen is for controlling what compendium content is shared so you can prevent your players from reading an adventure you're running

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

There are five ways to access content on D&D Beyond that you may have in your physical books

1. Purchase the full book from the marketplace
2. Purchase individual elements from the marketplace (options can be found within the book description)
3. Purchase a digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com
4. Join a campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
5. Use the homebrew tools to copy the content from your physical book into D&D Beyond. Note: Do not publish any content copied in this way, it is for personal use only

[fringe cedar]

ahh I see, so all the individual stuff I own should already automatically be shared? Thankyou for your time and apologies for what's probably a silly question

[modest pelican]

If you have content sharing enabled via a master tier subscription, yes

Not at all a silly question

This is the second time this has happened to me and it’s very concerning. I can’t say for sure that the first time it happened after an app update on iOS but this one sure did. I updated it on Monday and then this happened, I was hoping it would go away but it’s still doing this. I really don’t want to have to uninstall and reinstall the app again, it’s already been super difficult to run games as well as it was before because I lost all my original bookmarks.

I need help on how to share a campaign

[leaden kraken]

Hey, I opened a support ticket nearly three weeks ago, and all I’ve received is an email two weeks ago saying there’d be a delay due to high volumes. This feels too long, high traffic or not, so is there anything I can do or should I just continue waiting?

[round coral]

On the website, go to your campaigns and select the campaign you want to share. At the top of the page, there should be a link to share.

[jade wraith]

Hey all, I may need some help.
We are just starting to use encumbered and my DM is asking for our characters PDF. The problem is what's being displayed on the ddb site and what's on the PDF are different as far as equipment and weight carried.

The PDF shows my character carrying 217 lb's and it seems to be missing some items I have in my backpack and is showing some items as doubled (currently in equipment) in the "additional equipment" section below. ddb site show im carrying 201 lb's.

anyone have any thoughts on whats going on here?

[dense viper]

Its probably a bag of holding causing the problem. For some reason the pdfs will show the weight that is in the bag as being on your person instead of in the bag.

To fix this I just changed the weight number that was in that filed before I printed out the pdf

[jade wraith]

Good idea! but I dont have a bag of holding 😦

[dense viper]

Well im not sure then. Ive only come across this with a bag of holding

[cyan token]

Is it possible to have a Homebrew Spell in my collection added as a Tool tip to a sheet?

[wheat island]

Why is this happening with my fighter subclass

ITs lvl 20 and has just multiplied every single attack by like 7

[edgy oriole]

Is it a homebrew subclass?

Perhaps it was created incorrectly and creates attacks at different levels?

[uneven lantern]

It might also be that something got selected multiple times in the character editor, possibly by having the sheet open in multiple tabs at once.

You could try unselecting the subclass, refresh the page to make sure it’s gone (keep unselecting it again if needed), then select it again.

[bright bramble]

Im having difficulty deleting characters in my campaigns that are NOT mine - It says i have exceeded my limit but there is no option under 'my characters' to delete anything to help me view other peoples character sin my campaigns.

i can 'tick and activate' but then by going back to my campaign, each time i try and view the character it takes me BACK to MY CHARACTERS, and has completely different things selected, I cant even delete any character sheets. Can anyone help at all?
it says I have 4/6 but it wont let me do.. ANYTHING
Clicking on any character sheet link from my own campaign also just takes me back to /characters.
Not to the sheet itself.
So now i cant even set up characters for my campaign. All character sheet links go directly to https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters.

[lilac dirge]

is there a way to get the extra damage from weapons to roll as well? Like flametongues or frostbrands?

[modest pelican]

There isn't I'm afraid

[uneven lantern]

Do you mean you’re trying to delete your own characters from other people’s campaigns, or other people’s characters from your own campaigns? Can you perhaps share some screenshots to demonstrate the issue?

[wild iron]

Hi, I was wondering how I can add a character that I created into the Campaign as a DM. Well, I don't even really know if I'm doing this right on DNDBeyond...

I'm trying to get the characters premade for the campaign into the campaign somehow. (Lost Mine of Phandelver) I have the characters in "my characters" which I selected from the pre-made ones of the campaign.
Is there a way to share these characters with another account? So that they can add them to their character list?

I'm so sorry, I have really no Idea what I'm doing. I would just like to do a test run with my dad. So that I can be ready for the first adventure

[edgy oriole]

So in your DnDBeyond campaign page, up near the top left is a link/URL. Open this in a browser and you'll be prompted to add an existing character into that campaign or create a new character inside that campaign.

Please note that DnDBeyond campaigns do not provide a Virtual Table Top with maps and tokens - it is merely a way to organize a set of character sheets connected to a campaign, share information via the notes section, and provide a shared dice rolling log for dice rolls made on DnDBeyond (or through Avrae discord bot).

Sorry - link is in the top right

The Campaign invite link

[wild iron]

ohhhhh I get it, and then I can unassign them and assign them to the players who are going to play them....

I was actually wondering about how to best go through the campaign. Since we are going to play in person, I just wanted to make sure everyone has access to their characters and I can see the updated characters myself from everyone.

But what if I enable share content? Can they then see the campaign digital book? Because we don't want that obviously right?

[edgy oriole]

Once content sharing is enabled, the DM (owner) of that campaign can configure whether the actual book content is shared or not.
The character creation bits are always enabaled but the book text content sharing can be toggle on/off.

The staff of flowers is incredibly op. Think about it a flower is a part of a plant not a type of plant. Due to how it’s worded “the flower is harmless and non magical and grows and withers as a normal flower would” it would grow the stem of the flower aswell. Technically bamboo is the stem of the flower. Multiple trees that grow flowers can be grown. Cactus is a maybe seeing how it’s harmful but maybe? Do you think this would work?

[noble sail]

Hey! How do i delete a character in DnD Beyond Moblie? Im also seeing a bug on the website when I made a new account and it wouldnt load the Character Creation screen.

[uneven lantern]

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

[uneven lantern]

From the Characters screen, hit the three dots next to the character you want to remove.

[crude sinew]

Where can I find a dm

[edgy oriole]

Please read #find-a-game

[crude sinew]

I d8d but nobody answered except for a guy who'd say he would play if I find a dm

[desert surge]

I wanted to make a passive ability based off of Terraria: Calamity Mod's stealth system. how do i configure a passive ability, and can i make it only activate while in combat?

[uneven lantern]

Can't really say without more details. What specifcally do you want to happen on the sheet itself, and where are you getting stuck in trying to accomplish that?

[desert surge]

I want to make an ability where, each turn that goes by without my character attacking, they gain a small amount more attack power. I also want to give my character a lower than average strength value to balance that out.

[uneven lantern]

What does "gain a small amount more attack power" mean in D&D terms? How do you want that to appear on the character sheet?

[desert surge]

basically, i gain lets say, 2 more temporary strength every time i use an action without attacking. when i attack, that temporary strength applies to that attack then is removed, leaving me with my base strength once more. idk the exact dnd terms, im relatively new to the whole game.

i think id want it to be in either the actions section, or any section that passive abilities are grouped in.

even if an attack fails it'd still reset

[uneven lantern]

There won't be a way to have it automatically increase your strength score.

But you can click your strength score and manually adjust it in the sidebar any time you need.

To add something to the Actions section, you can either click "Manage Custom" there in the top right corner of that section, or you can add it through a homebrew race, class, or feat.

[desert surge]

could I in theory have a DM approve of the ability and then i'd just manually increase/decrease my strength each turn?

[uneven lantern]

In theory, yeah.

(Though as a bit of unsolicited advice, I generally recommend newcomers focus on learning how the game works as-is before trying to modify it. But if you do wants rules advice here, #homebrew can help you develop it further.)

[little plume]

is 4 Goblins too much for 4 level 1 players to take down?

[dense viper]

According to the encounter builder 4 goblins is a deadly encounter for 4 level 1s.

Do with that information as you will.

Also I think #dm-discussion would be a better place to ask.

[wild iron]

what's this about e1 , e2 and e5?

[hearty salmon]

Is it possible to create a homebrew item that uses for example Wisdom instead of Strength or Dexterity?

[uneven lantern]

This channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond, which uses fifth edition.

[uneven lantern]

Uses it to do what?

[hearty salmon]

whoops, meant to write homebrew weapon

Intent: Basically to circumvent needing to roll Shillelagh separately

[uneven lantern]

I’m not sure. If you can find an official weapon that works similarly, you can make a homebrew copy of it to see how it was set up.

But I can’t think of any off the top of my head.

[hearty salmon]

nevermind, figured it out! You can add the modifier [Bonus - Magic Item Attack With Wisdom] to achieve this

[vital gazelle]

So sometimes on spell lists (let's say, the Artificer as an example) I see spells like Acid Arrow and Melf's Acid Arrow on there - are they essentially still the same thing?

[bright bramble]

Is the Encounter builder down?
I've refreshed it 4 times now, tried different browsers but it wont let me save any encounters im trying to make.

Unfortunately, we encountered an error while trying to save.

We have automatically logged this error giving us a +2 to our Investigation check to help prevent future errors.

In the meantime, you could refresh the page and try building your encounter again. We're sorry for the inconvenience.```

doesnt really do anything on any other browser.

[uneven lantern]

The named version is the trademarked (or copyrighted?) spell from the PHB. The nameless version is from SRD, with the trademarked portion removed.

[uneven lantern]

I was able to save an encounter just now. Are you trying to create a new encounter or save an existing one? Do you get the same issue on another device?

[tranquil seal]

Hey, now I am subbed how do i add people to create characters using the books i purchased?

[uneven lantern]

You can enable Content Sharing for up to five campaigns you’re in. You’ll find the option in My Campaigns or at the top of the campaign page.

Any characters in that campaign will have access to those character options.

[tranquil seal]

awesome, also now i am a sub i get cool art for my character sheets right, how do i activate those?

[uneven lantern]

Every month there’s exclusive subscriber perks. This month is a set of map-themed backdrops for your character sheets. You can find those on your character sheet by clicking your character portrait, then selecting “Customize Sheet” in the sidebar.

[icy shale]

If I grabbed the new phandelver book from dnd beyond (virtual only) do I get the early access?

[uneven lantern]

The early access is only included with the physical+digital bundle available here:
https://dndstore.wizards.com/us/product/820931/phandelver-and-below-the-shattered-obelisk-digital-plus-physical-bundle

If you bought from anywhere else, including D&D Beyond, the book will be available on release day, September 19th.

[icy shale]

ah shame - getting physical from local - never mind

[leaden kraken]

Hey if anyone is aware of how backed up support tickets are, that would be great to know. If not, no worries

[uneven lantern]

That’s not something anyone here could answer, sorry.

Tickets are answered in the order they’re received, though, and you will get an answer.

I’d also recommend against opening multiple tickets, because that could move you back in line.

[winged turtle]

When creating a custom subclass feature on DDB, am i able to create something lik ehow the Warlock's Book of Ancient Secrets invocation works, i.e being able to add spells without a limit? with that invocation, once you select a 3rd ritual spell, it adds another slot for a 4th, etc

[leaden kraken]

Thanks for the answer, it’s just been nearing a month since I submitted one and was getting worried about it. I’ll wait a bit longer. 😅

[uneven lantern]

Yeah. When you’re adding a spell, look for a checkbox called “Is Infinite”.

[winged turtle]

is there a way i can limit the selection list to those that are available at their level?

[uneven lantern]

There’s a field called Level Divisor that might do the trick. What class is this for?

[narrow sentinel]

Hey so I'm in a westmarch that has a special mechanic known as Ascensions. Basically you get a second set of abilities that are unlocked at levels 10, 14, 17, and 20
The problem is that some of these abilities have a specific set of abilities to choose from.

Trying to make it into a feat isn't feasible since there are several abilities to choose from which would make trying to streamline choosing abilities for ascension nearly impossible.

Do you guys have any suggestions as to how to set it up on DND beyond? Am open to plenty of ideas

[edgy oriole]

Feats would likely be the only way to handle it - and it may just need to describe in text what the abilities are and the mechnaics for them (e.g. they won't be automated or have dice rolls built in). Mainly because this is far beyond normal D&D 5th Edition mechanics and so DnDBeyond doesn't have a way to handle it.

[reef carbon]

How do I make a looking for players post?

[modest pelican]

Follow the instructions in #find-a-game

[serene olive]

did something change with Subscriptions? I can't lookup content in my GMs campaign any longer and get pointed to "go buy this book" now.

[uneven lantern]

They haven’t changed, no.

[serene olive]

nvm, GM reports that somehow content sharing got disabled

[tranquil seal]

Hey, so I created a hombrew race for group im running but i realised a spelling error and wanted to change a racial ability. So I updated them but how do they update the character sheets with the update?

[uneven lantern]

If this was private homebrew, it should update itself after a little while.

If this was published homebrew, they’ll need to re-select their race and choose the updated version.

[raw cipher]

Is there a way to add custom spells, feats, etc or you just get whats available

[edgy oriole]

You can create homebrew via DnDBeyond's homebrew tools and add it to your character sheets (also note you don't have to publish it to use it - publishing is just for when you've tested it and are ready to share it with the world for general use.)

[smoky hatch]

wait can i use 4th and 5th level spells even though i am only 5th level sorccerer
I see a Lighting bolt option for all 9 levels spells
and would it be affected by wild magic?

[edgy oriole]

You have a wand my friend

Therefore you can cast at the level the wand allow you cast at.

Since you are not casting it (the wand is), it is not covered by wild magic.

[placid trail]

Hello. I bought Dungeon of the Mad Mage on dndbeyond, for the campaign I run with Avrae. When I use Avrae's madd command to add to combat a Githyanki Gish (they're in level 16 of W:DotMM), I'm asked:

Which one were you looking for? (Type the number or c to cancel)
[1] - Githyanki Gish (MToF; legacy)
[2] - Githyanki Gish (MotM)*
Choosing 1 seems to work, and skimming the stat block, it looks the same as the one in W:DotMM; but I'm worried about that "legacy" tag. Is there something wrong with that one?

[edgy oriole]

No - just that D&D is no longer selling that legacy material any more. Nothing mechanically wrong with it. The MoTM version is, if you will, the new stat block and the one D&D will use going forward.

[smoky hatch]

So I can use a 9th level spell even tho I am only 5th level wow that seem powerful

[edgy oriole]

Read what the wand allows you to do.

[placid trail]

OK, thanks. Is it an error of omission that there isn't one provided as part of W:DotMM?

[edgy oriole]

Not that I’m aware of - W:DotMM comes with what it was originally printed with. I wouldn’t worry about it.

[marble dune]

I've been wanting to make w centaur build and I need a bit of help

[dawn violet]

have you been by #character-discussion ? they might be able to help

[main garnet]

can I get any help with this?

[edgy oriole]

Is one of them from a racial feature?

[main garnet]

might be? character is a satyr

[dawn violet]

if you are a Light Domain Cleric, you get the Light Cantrip as part of the class features. that could be why its always prepared and you can't delete it. Are you a light cleric?

[main garnet]

yes! but I'm not sure how I got two of them. on other characters, I don't have the option to delete "always prepared" spells

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[main garnet]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/37459601

[uneven lantern]

It looks like you’re using a homebrew version of that subclass, which could explain the inconsistencies.

The official subclass would appear like this under Features & Traits:

It’s got book references next to all the feature names. It calculates the number of uses for Warding Flare, and the DC+damage for Radiance of the Dawn.

Yours is missing those things, and incorrectly provides an action for “Preserve Life” instead of “Radiance of the Dawn”.

I’d recommend switching to the official version if you’re able.

And that should hopefully fix the spell issue.

[main garnet]

oh! great, thanks!

[lost plover]

is there a tutorial on how to use the homebrew tool on dndb? i wanna make a subclass but dont know what goes where and how it will look on the sheet

[edgy oriole]

Check with the folks in #homebrew as some there may have experience with whatever you're trying to accomplish with the homebrew tools.

[spiral ledge]

Hey guys, how can I add a pre-existing/ copy of a character to a campaign?

[edgy oriole]

Use the DnDBeyond campaign invite link located at the top of the campaign page. Open it in a new tab or window and you’ll be prompted to select an existing character or create a new character inside the campaign.

[spiral ledge]

Thanks 👍🏻

[spiral ledge]

[ornate matrix]

I found a video about the sun blade, wanted to check it on dndbeyond but i am confused about this. The item shows that it 1d8 +3 slashing. But you gain a +2bonus to attack and damage rolls made with it.

Why am i seeing 1d8+3 and 1d10+3

[modest pelican]

@ornate matrix Is this a question about using D&D Beyond? Or is it a question about game rules?

[ornate matrix]

I think its a bit of both?

[modest pelican]

Ah, I see you edited the question

The weapon is versatile, meaning you can use it one or two handed. It does more damage when used two-handed, which is the bigger damage dice (1d10+3)

[lost plover]

So i suppose i need to come up with a draft first then? Thanks btw

[uneven lantern]

There’s a guide here that walks through the basics.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/845-new-players-guide-how-to-homebrew-on-d-d-beyond

But honestly, the best way to learn is by making homebrew copies of the official subclasses. Then you can peek inside and see exactly how they were set up.

[elder olive]

if i want to add an action to my homebrewed weapon how do i do that? (i want to add so that you can use an action so that the sword goes on fire)
and i also need it to roll 2d6 extra fire dmg only when it is on fire. i also need to add a dc to the fire dmg roll how do i do that

[modest pelican]

You can't, items don't support adding actions

The workaround is to add a custom action directly to the character sheet through the manage actions menu

[elder olive]

damn aight

[carmine timber]

Is anyone having issues accessing personal content on ddb, specifically the character app?

[modest pelican]

When you say the character app, do you mean the mobile app?

Or the character builder?

[carmine timber]

The character app, I have issues with both website as well as mobile app

[modest pelican]

So the character sheet?

[carmine timber]

yes

[modest pelican]

I'm able to acess my characters normally without any noticible slowness, both on the website and mobile app. You mentioned "personal content", I assume you just mean things you've made such as characters and not something else?

[carmine timber]

Correct. I am happy to hear it is working for others, suggesting the issue is somewhere on my network (2 PCs are and 1 cell phone) have the issue

[modest pelican]

Or even slightly less local, it could be an AWS node in your region or something like that

[carmine timber]

Interesting, that could be it... damn that slowmode is annoying for a decent conversation

[lapis geyser]

I asked in #homebrew and was directed here, so here goes: I'm trying to work out snippet code that would essentially let me show inside an option, a starting number of 2d6 at level 3, then an additional d6 at 7, 10,15, and 18. {{scalevalue}} doesn't work since it's inside an option. Any way I could make this work? Any snippet code math wizards in here?

[modest pelican]

I don't think that is possible I'm afraid

[lapis geyser]

In case anyone was wondering, i did figure this out {{2+(classlevel/7)@max:1,rounddown+(classlevel/10)@max:1,rounddown+(classlevel/15)@rounddown+(classlevel/18)@rounddown}}

[delicate gate]

How do I homebrew a patron for my warlock?

[uneven lantern]

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

[delicate gate]

It forces me to use fiend as a template

Oh nvm

[uneven lantern]

You can hit "Create From Scratch" instead if you don't want to use a template.

[delicate gate]

Would I stay in this chat for help with making the subclass itself? Because I'm not really sure about all of this stuff

[dire blade]

#homebrew would probably be more helpful.

[uneven lantern]

There’s a guide here that walks through the basics.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/845-new-players-guide-how-to-homebrew-on-d-d-beyond

But honestly, the best way to learn is to create one by selecting a template, if only to peek inside and see how the official one was set up.

But if you have any specific questions, yeah, you're welcome to ask them here or in #homebrew.

[lunar schooner]

Question: I can't add the proficiency bonus to initiative through a subclass feature

Is it not just giving a Proficiency in Initiative?

[delicate gate]

The template didn't show much

Like there was nothing for the short description or description

[lunar schooner]

Anyone able to help me?

[lunar schooner]

Additionally, any way to add a "rule block" to a description of a subclass? Like this?

[edgy oriole]

This one I can answer - look at the underlying HTML and CSS code that is used to style it and copy that code to your text field (not all fields allow html and styled content). Adjust text content inside to what you need.

[lunar schooner]

...I don't understand what half of that said

Please dumb it down for me...not compooter smart

[edgy oriole]

Open up your browser development tools, find the section of HTML code you're interested in, copy that element's HTML code, paste into your homebrew text field making sure you're in HTML code view (the </> button). Then adjust the text to your needs. Save.

This is somewhat advanced stuff - you may be better off just styling it using the blockquote tool (the button with the double quote marks like this ").

[lunar schooner]

Oh, that's what I was asking for LUL

[gritty island]

Oh i just hit a big snag with homebrewing a race. is there anyone who can help me with some racial magic stuff?

[uneven lantern]

Hard to say without knowing what the snag is.

[gritty island]

ive made a race of self transforming slime but i want that to come with a limit on the school of magic that they can then learn from. (ie i want a race that cant learn transmutation spells due to physiology)

is there any way to do that?

[uneven lantern]

You could limit any spells chosen as part of the race itself, but not any they’d choose from a class, feat, etc.

[gritty island]

oof alright i may just need to keep my players to an honor rule

thank you

[unkempt owl]

Created a magic item, Trying to figure out where to change the Damage it does so it shows correctly under the actions window...

[lone silo]

Husband bought Phandelver Below and it says on ddb that he owns and has access to it, but he hasn't actually been able to access it all day. It just takes him to the store page?

[modest pelican]

It hasn't released yet. We're targeting 7am PT / 9am CT / 10am ET / 3pm BST (UK) for releases.

[lone silo]

Ah this makes sense now! We are UK based so we thought it was out. Thanks!

[modest pelican]

No worries, releases generally happen once the team (who is based in Alabama) is fully online and ready to oversee things

[clever heath]

Yo, i preordered shattered obelisk and its telling me to pay 1.99 extra? Any idea why

[modest pelican]

Where is it telling you to pay this?

[clever heath]

In the market on the site, i click a chapter of the book and redirects me to the store page even when ive preordered at 25.75 (preorder and subscriber brought the price down) and kepts redirecting

[modest pelican]

The book hasn't released yet

And subscribing doesn't give a discount

Can you provide a screenshot of where it's saying you need to pay $1.99?

[devout dune]

Mine does the same

[bronze ridge]

I see this same issue

[fluid shoal]

same

[clever heath]

Yeah according to discord book released 9 mins ago? Can access some of the items and stuff in the menus like magic items

[modest pelican]

Where are you seeing that the book released?

As far as I'm aware, the release hasn't occured yet

[devout dune]

It's 404ing now, I assume they're just in the middle of releasing it

[frosty pelican]

question... i already bought the Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk adventure in dnd beyond... why does it say i need to pay 1.99$ (discounted for owned content) still?

[clever heath]

Events, in this server, say shattered obelisk on top of mobile menu

[modest pelican]

That is for the day as a whole, it's not announcing the specific time

[devout dune]

My guess it's a 100% discount, but dnd beyond has a minimum charge of 1.99 so it bumps it up to there. I'd just wait a few minutes

[clever heath]

In the middle of asking that ourselfs lol

[devout dune]

It'll probably resolve itself

[modest pelican]

I've raised this with the team, but

1. The book has not been released yet
2. There won't be a need to pay an additional charge to access it
3. There'll be an update here once more information can be provided

[vivid flicker]

i bout the book and same here

bought*

[vivid flicker]

thank you.

[little plume]

Appreciate all the effort D

[urban egret]

I am in the same boat as everyone else. @modest pelican this is just a thank you for being so good about the mass messages of problems and being an absolute champion about it all

[clever heath]

Its working now for me guys!

[devout dune]

👍 Same here

[agile elm]

We should be all set! Sorry for the delay!

[spice maple]

When is the release today? and why $1.99?

[lone void]

So, in the home page I see this but when I click I see Rylzrayrth saying 403 - forbidden. Is there something I shouldn't be allowed to see here?

[modest pelican]

Caching issue with the site

[heavy nest]

Just cleared my browser cache and still seeing a 403 error.

[modest pelican]

The site, not your browser

[earnest ledge]

Uhhh, I can’t continue with google on the dndbeyond app??

It keeps telling me to enable tracking

[modest pelican]

Have you enabled tracking?

[earnest ledge]

No, I don’t want tracking

Is there no other way?

[naive lodge]

Google requires it with how they work.

[earnest ledge]

Strange, ok

I’ll see what I can do then

[modest pelican]

To expand; google requires tracking to be able to tell D&D Beyond "Hey, this user wants to use our service to log in to your service and I can securely confirm they are logged in so here's the token saying they are who they claim they are"
Tracking means cross-platform communication which is required for two different systems, in this case D&D Beyond and Google, to communicate

[hoary ivy]

good afternoon from south jersey

I cant get to my my digital purchase of the new phandelver book. i bundled it with the hardcover

[modest pelican]

You've redeemed the code?

[hoary ivy]

where is the redemption code?

[modest pelican]

It would have been emailed to you when you purchased the digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com

[hoary ivy]

ty sorry

[vivid flicker]

thank you staff!

[magic token]

Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I just wanted to ask about the 2 Tasha's Sorcerer subclasses, Clockwork Soul and Aberrant Mind. They say that if you want to swap the spells you gain at certain levels out that you can with another Sorcerer, Wizard or Warlock spell of a certain school, but I'm not seeing an option for that in either the character builder or the optional feature manager. Am I missing anything, or do I need to turn on a setting or something to do so? Thank you!

[uneven lantern]

The current solution is to make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change it there.

[magic token]

There's no other official way to do it right now?

But either way, got it, thank you!

[uneven lantern]

I'm afraid not.

[magic token]

All good!

[little plume]

I want to get into dnd, but I have no idea where to start, what to buy, or what to read. I am greener then moss when it comes to dnd. Any kind of advice would help me immensely

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

[little plume]

Thank you

[torpid tendon]

When I make a mosnter and give it legendary actions it defaults to italics regardless of settings. This extends to the Legendary Action title as well. This this a known bug?

Same goes for mythic actions and bonus actions

[marble harness]

hey guys! im still having issues viewing literally any character sheet. I looked it up and apparently this problem happened a long time ago in January of this year as well. Any advice on how to fix it? as a dm, this is extremely frustrating, as I was unaware of this issue before beginning my campaign. Now, neither I, nor my players can access their own character sheets

[torpid tendon]

I'm not sure what would be the fix, but have you tried opening them in a different browser or under incognito mode? I know browser settings can sometimes mess with websites. I had to delete my cache and remove some extensions a while ago to fix dndbeyond not loading right

[marble harness]

this issue has been going on for about 3 weeks

will try and delete the chace

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to view one?

Are you able to view ones outside that campaign?

Can you share a link to one of them?

[reef flower]

Can anyone help me create a weapon to represent Shadow Blade? So I don't have to manually roll the attack and damage each time? Or, alternatively, a custom spell that uses dex as the attack and adds dex bonus to dmg?

[torpid tendon]

I made a custom action for my player that uses shadowblade

That was the easiest fix I found.

[reef flower]

thank you, that's what I'm giving a shot now

can't make it appear on my list of attacks though :S

[torpid tendon]

You have to click the box that says "display as attack"

[reef flower]

you legend

ty

[torpid tendon]

custom actions are literally my best friend. I added them to all of my players' sheets and now combat is waaay faster

[reef flower]

yeah I'll be using it a lot more

when u have pets and concentration spells and stuff, it's such a pain to jump to different places to try to find the rolls, which half the time don't work properly anyway

[torpid tendon]

I used to make feats, but then realized that the custom actions were 10x easier haha

I made them for my paladin player and that was a godsend

[reef flower]

oof I'll bet with all their extra dice

[marble harness]

I am not able to view any character sheets unless I create them

[marble harness]

It's just a white screen with the dnd beyond banner above it

[edgy oriole]

1. Are you running any VPN, Ad-Blocker, or other browser extensions that may interact with the DnDBeyond website and it's functionality? If so, disable them and try again.
2. Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies, restarting your browser, and re-logging in to DnDBeyond?
3. Are you running some 3rd-party antivirus that does packet inspection and is it blocking things on DnDBeyond? Check to make sure it isn't blocking things.
4. Open up your browser Web Developer tools and check the network console when refreshing the page - any red error messages?

[rose schooner]

I had a question about maps. Is it possible to upload your own tokens?

[edgy oriole]

I believe it uses the images associated with the character or monster.

So if you use a custom image for your character on your DnDBeyond character sheet, I believe it uses that for the token.

[runic vigil]

Uh hi, I'm preparing for my first dnd session and was working on my character, which I decided would be a sort of mimic. I obviously needed to homebrew this, which I've done but now that I've finished, I can't find an option to make a character using it?
Im sorry if it's a stupid question but where do I go on the dnd beyond website to do that if I can?

[thorn sandal]

Changeling is an official race that might be close to what you're looking for

You likely don't own it

If you navigate to the Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse in the marketplace, you can buy the race individually without having to buy the whole book if you like

[quaint burrow]

I've got an encounter that is bugged out and I can't delete. I've deleted every other encounter and it still shows up. Any suggestions? I've tried running it, adding monsters to it, editing, deleting.. Always shows up when I reload.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure the encounter is named.
If it still can't be deleted, you may need to create a customer service ticket to have it deleted from the backend.

[quaint burrow]

yeah, it's named.

okay thanks. From DDB website to create a ticket?

[edgy oriole]

Yeah - or check the pinned message here in the channel

[quaint burrow]

thanks

[quaint herald]

A couple of the new phandelver monsters are showing as unowned in the encounter builder. Entitlements in sync, relogged in incognito so no extensions and cleared cache.

Also seen some magic items unavailable on character sheets. (mind crystals)

I do own the book and the monster stat block page itself loads fine as do the item pages themselves.

it might actually just be those 2. Clicking through a few more it seems every other one ive looked at is working

[uneven lantern]

Are there checkmarks on this page next to those monsters/items?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/adventures/phandelver-and-below-the-shattered-obelisk

[quaint herald]

yes there is - shows everything owned and checked.

[quaint herald]

if it helps isReleased shows up false for those two monsters when I go here (direct link to search json data for each monster). And other data that would fill out a stat block shows the basic non-owned empty data.

https://monster-service.dndbeyond.com/v1/Monster?skip=0&take=1&search=goblin-psi-commander

and

https://monster-service.dndbeyond.com/v1/Monster?skip=0&take=1&search=goblin-psi-brawler

All others I looked at show true there and have the stat block data.

[candid orchid]

How do I change my subscription status? I am currently Hero tier but want to try out maps... when I go to the subscription page it displays as if I am not logged in though.

[naive lodge]

Yeah, that's just a display bug, you're still logged in.

[candid orchid]

Oh great thanks. I was getting very confused! Appreciate the clarification

[remote sinew]

is there a way to change the character sheet to show spell points rather than spell slots?

[modest pelican]

There isn't currently

You could make a custom feat based on the lucky feat to provide a way of tracking spell points

[remote sinew]

thank you, i just customed my player's focus to have charges = to points 🙂

[modest pelican]

That's a very clever solution!

[crystal stratus]

hey Davyd, some people have pointed out on the forums that the bracers of celerity and mind crystals are not showing up in the inventory manager on the character sheet, can you pass this on to the devs?

[uneven lantern]

Thanks. Any chance I can get your DDB username as well?

[uneven lantern]

Did you purchase the book yourself, or is it being shared with you? Can I get your DDB username as well?

[spark gale]

how do you make a summon as a subclass feature

[uneven lantern]

That depends. What does the feature say?

Best general advice I've got is to find an official subclass with a summon that works similarly to yours. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see how it was set up.

[spark gale]

circle of wildfire but i don’t have tashas purchased

[uneven lantern]

Gotcha

Basically, it adds an Action.

[spark gale]

but like how do you show the wildfire spirit stats inside of the subclass creator

[uneven lantern]

That action uses Limited Use to track the HP for the spirit, and snippets to calculate specific stats.

And then the full stat block is in the Description, so if you click the action on your sheet, you can see the full details.

[crystal stratus]

yes i have bougth the book myself, all of the other items are showing inside the character sheet, just these two that are not

my username is Depul on the website

[quaint herald]

Jay_Lane is the display name, Azmoria the username in profile but I think that's just the socials line

[lunar schooner]

these are all PHB and BR spells correct? My homebrew is saying it's using licensed content, but these are the only linked things in the document besides the poisoned condition.

[uneven lantern]

They have to be Basic Rules only. A spell that's in the PHB but not the Basic Rules, like Hex, will still give that error.

That said: the errors only matter if you're trying to publish this to the global community, after it's been finished and playtested and works as intended.

If this is just for your own campaigns, it's already usable as-is. You don't need to publish at all, and you can just ignore those warnings.

[uneven lantern]

Can you check those monsters again?

[uneven lantern]

Are those items showing up now?

[crystal stratus]

nope, neither are the monsters, i have the same problem as @quaint herald

sorry wrong item

[uneven lantern]

Does it still say here that your entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[uneven lantern]

And still no monsters either?

[crystal stratus]

yeah, both of the psi goblins

i can access outside the encounters

and the items outside the character sheet

[edgy hazel]

Hi all! I’m starting to homebrew a campaign and need help making a race.
I want to add a spell to the race but give the PC a choice out of two class list. The problem is I only want them to choose 1

[crystal stratus]

i have them now, both items and monsters

[uneven lantern]

Good to hear!

Guess it just needed another minute to work through the system.

[crystal stratus]

thanks for the help

[uneven lantern]

You can give them a choice by adding Options.

Set up each choice as its own Option.

Then inside each Option, set it up with whatever that choice needs to do its thing.

In this case: give them a spell from that class list.

[edgy hazel]

I put it in as a racial trait. Just so I get what you mean. So when I add spells, I set it to cleric spell list( cantrips). Then I add another spelland set it for the wizard spell list. That will give my PC the option to take 1 spell out of both lists is what I’m aiming for

1 spell total *

[uneven lantern]

Leeeets back up.

The player gets to choose only a single spell from either the cleric or wizard spell lists?

What's the actual text description for this feature?

[edgy hazel]

At Level 1, choose a cantrip from the Cleric or Wizard spell list to have prepared. This does not count towards your total allowed prepared spells. At Level 5, learn a Level 1 spell from Cleric or Wizard spell list that can be can cast once per short rest for free. After that, it will cost a spell slot

[uneven lantern]

What's the spellcasting ability?

[pearl pewter]

The feedback page for the maps feature is broken

[edgy hazel]

I’d like them to use their Spell casting Mod if possible. If not I’d use INT

[quaint herald]

they are showing up in the encounter builder for me now yes. 😄 Thank you

[uneven lantern]

It won’t have a way to detect their spellcasting mod, but you could give them a choice between the three (again, using Options).

If you just want to stick with INT, click Add a Spell, and under “Class”, type both Cleric and Wizard.

Add any other details like the spellcasting mod, and you’re done.

If you want to do Options instead, you’ll need to set one up for each spellcasting ability. Inside there, you’ll Add a Spell following the instructions above, but set it to match the chosen ability. Then rinse and repeat.

[twilit root]

I manually added shield proficiency to my character and can't seem to remove it. Is there a fix? (I could try creating a custom feat that adds shield proficiency, then remove the feat after it has overridden the manual/custom entry)

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to remove it?

[twilit root]

No option to try to remove it shows up when I click on it

[twilit root]

Nevermind. I had the tab open on my laptop, and due to the small screen size, part of the UI was hidden. My mistake.

[edgy hazel]

It has gotten worse somehow. I now can’t select a spell from the list when I try to build a character? It is also still giving me two options 1 from each list.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of your current setup?

[gusty herald]

Hello, not sure if this is the right channel to ask about this, if I pre-order both the deck of many things and Planescape simultaneously will I receive them when the later book releases or receive them seperately ?

[thorn sandal]

Separately

[gusty herald]

thanks

[leaden kraken]

Hey, on the subscriber perks page, it says Master tier subscribers can get 10 GB of storage. What does this mean?

[tough shard]

quick ( hopefully ) question, how do we get our stat blocks back to the left side of page

[shrewd lance]

how do I add a boon on d&db

[leaden kraken]

You'd have to homebrew a feat to stand in for that, epic boons aren't officially implemented yet

[shrewd lance]

ty

[edgy oriole]

With the new Maps tool, Master Tier subscribers get 10 GB of storage for uploading their own maps (maps not provided by DnDBeyond). Of course copyright laws apply - only upload maps you have permission to use.

[tranquil seal]

So I purchased the map pack, and i have 3 campaigns with maps inside, but in a campaign manager i cannot load any of the maps purchased in, have i done something wrong?

[thorn sandal]

Currently to my knowledge that map pack is just the downloadable image files. Online map functionality only just launched in Alpha the other day, so those likely aren't currently automatically plugged in. There is a function that will still allow you to upload and use the images in Maps though

[tranquil seal]

ty

[thorn sandal]

No problem! Let me know if you have any trouble.

[wide berry]

Can I log into my dnd beyond account with my discord login?

Like it allows me to link my discord account, but what does that do?

I made a mistake and signed out, and my school email is connected to it and for some reason it’s now blocked by my administrator.

and the only other link I have for it is my discord

I really need help

[edgy oriole]

No - DnDBeyond only uses Google, Apple, Twitch, and Wizards of the Coast accounts to handle login/authentication. If you have one of these accounts though, please reach out to customer service (see pinned message here in the channel) and they may be able to reassign your account to an up to date and not-blocked account.

[wide berry]

Really? You think they’d be able to do that for me?

[edgy oriole]

If you can show proof that you use to own the previous account, yes, they should be able to reassign it to a functional Google/Apple/Twitch/Wizards of the Coast account.

[wide berry]

How could find proof, like what would count as proof?

[edgy oriole]

If your Discord account is still connected to it you could use that.

I think - you'd have to ask customer service

[vestal skiff]

Are there any workarounds to having both a full character portrait and a head shot on ddb?

[modest pelican]

No, there's no way to have larger images uploaded than the avatar

[steel orbit]

So it seems I might be either having a dumb moment or there's something that's not making sense for me. I'm playing a fighter and wanted to see how a build would play out.
At lvl 1 I picked superior technique and then at level 4 I chose the feat of martial adept to give myself two choices of maneuvers. I thought superior technique gave me a maneuver as well? Although I only got to choose 2 instead of 3. And on top of that when I view my character sheet it only lists one box for a superiority die.

[edgy oriole]

This channel is for getting technical support for DnDBeyond's tools and services. I think your question would best fit in #character-discussion as it's less about the DDB tools/services and more of how a class feature works.

[grizzled hearth]

The fighting style superior technique doesn’t give you an option the choose a fighting style on dndbeyond

I’ve found a work around, go to the dndbeyond webpage and create a homebrew feat copying the martial adept feat, Edit the name to Superior Technique, then change the language in the feat to say "one maneuver" instead of "two maneuvers". Finally, change the "TOTAL NUMBER OF FEAT OPTIONS USER CAN SELECT" to 1, then save.

You can then add this to your PC on the feats tab on your character sheet and choose the fighting style you need

[steel orbit]

yeah but superior technique is a fighting style

[grizzled hearth]

It’s a known bug and they haven’t figured out a way to do it yet

[edgy oriole]

Ah gotcha! Yeah this is a current limitation of DnDBeyond.

[grizzled hearth]

I’ve made the custome feat here to show

[steel orbit]

Hm I see. I guess I'll just have to communicate this with a DM then so I can be allowed to possibly use it like this

Did not expect this to be a bug, but oh well

[grizzled hearth]

You also only get one dice from martial adept so that is showing fine for you

[autumn crown]

Possibly the wrong channel, but does the Maps alpha have integrated audio & video or is that still being developed?

It somehow slipped my radar 🙄

And I'd like to try it out for my next game.

[modest pelican]

I assume you mean for voice/video chat, in which case no it doesn't have that and that's not mentioned on the roadmap

A common option is Discord, which integrates with the gamelog via Avrae

[autumn crown]

Oof. Yeah that's what I figured.

Not entirely a problem, except for those occasions where you gotta herd people who haven't used discord before onto Discord 🤣

[raven tundra]

Will sales affect pre-orders ever again?

[modest pelican]

Impossible to say

[raven tundra]

😦

[autumn crown]

Thanks for the help Davyd! ❤️

[edgy hazel]

Hey all. I’m trying to make a homebrew race and give them spells to pick from at Level 1. I’ve made a racial feat but when creating the character I’m not getting access to the spells

Specifically I want them to choose from the wizard or warlock cantrips and at Level 5 choose a level 1 spell from these lists

[boreal arch]

New iPhone and wanting to log in to the app using "Continue with Google" I get a message saying "Tracking":
"To log in with google, you agree to their privacy policy and must allow tracking"
Where do I enable this tracking?

Oh, this is the same as the previous person posted 😄

[dire blade]

I had this problem too and I ultimately had to make a wizards account, link it to my DNDBeyond account via a web browser, and then sign in with that on mobile.

[boreal arch]

Thanks.
How is the linking via web browser done? Is that by logging in to the wizards account in a web browser, and then finding some linking button under settings or similar?

[boreal arch]

When I try to create a new Wizards account it says "Invalid email address or password.".
Do I need to create a Wizard account using a different email address since my Google login email address is already used?

[edgy oriole]

For the Google/Apple/Twitch login you need to allow tracking as those services need to track who you are and pass that information to DnDBeyond.

As for a wizards account and an existing DnDBeyond account you need to login with the existing account and under your user profile, you can connect it to your Wizards account. You should then be able to login using the wizards account.

[delicate gate]

How do I transfer subclasses like Eldritch Knight into dnd beyond via homebrew?

[uneven lantern]

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

(Alternatively, you can purchase just that subclass. Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.)

[delicate gate]

Too expensive.

[modest pelican]

Make sure you're looking at the right options. Subclasses are $1.99 each

There are subclass bundles, which are more expensive, and also the compendium option which is $19.99 but doesn't include content for the character builder. It's just the digital version of the book

[delicate gate]

Still a lot

[modest pelican]

No, sorry, I think you misunderstand, the subclasses are $1.99 each, not $19.99. Sorry for confusing things

[delicate gate]

Also, I moreso meant that I would literally recreate the class in homebrew instead of just making my own

[delicate gate]

Yeah

I just don't wanna buy anything, since for me doing digital purchases is kinda a pain

And again, its kinda pricey

But also, I know transfering something into homebrew is gonna be a pain so I was wondering if anyone had some type of guide I could use

[dense viper]

Is there a way to add the Steel Defender from a Battle Smith Artificer to the character sheet? When I look in extras it doesn't show Steel Defender as an option.

[modest pelican]

The steel defender is baked into the class features section

That way more of the defenders features can be displayed correctly

[dense viper]

I didnt know that. I will let my player know as well. Thank you

[ember temple]

Is there a way to homebrew an infusion for a subclass to use

[uneven lantern]

Not as an infusion itself, but there may be a workaround.

What’s the text description for this infusion?

[ember temple]

I was thinking about having the artifcer be able to infuse their teammates or their own armor to increase the speed at which it performs. Like boots would double speed, arms would give advantage and ect

Work in progress but before I started I wanted to know if I had the capability to implement it

[uneven lantern]

Probably the closest you could get, then, is a homebrew feat with the description.

[ember temple]

Damn

[uneven lantern]

Then just leave one of your invocations unselected.

[ember temple]

I'm making a subclass for others In a community to use

[uneven lantern]

You can click on your speed to manually adjust it as needed.

[ember temple]

It's a Clockwork Architect Artificer

[pliant coyote]

Trying to create a custom feat that allows the players to select two skills to be proficient in and a new language

I have been able to figure out the skills but not the language

[proper stump]

Does anyone know where a good place I can buy metal dice at?

[uneven lantern]

The #ddb-support answer is that you can buy dice here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/digital-dice

But if you meant that question in a different way, #merch-and-dice is probably a better place to ask.

[dense viper]

I would suggest to make a copy of the Linguist feat from the players handbook so you can see how that does it.

But it looks like its Modifier type (Language) and on the sub type line pick "Choose a Language"

[runic vigil]

got it figured out by signing into wizards then linking it
if anybody on the ddb support team is for some ungodly reason reading this, thank you for the help with that situation with the whole accidental linking thing before it got figured out

[twilit root]

Is it possible to create a homebrew/custom container?

[edgy oriole]

I don't believe it's possible at this time (logic for nesting containers and what they contain is hard to pull of in a good and performant way)

[twilit root]

When you add a spell through a homebrew feat, it doesn't show up in the spell list and can't be prepared. However, if you add it through a custom/homebrew background, it shows up together with the other spells in the class section of the character creator.

I don't expect this to change, but it would be nice if it did, at least as an optional use-case where spells added through a feat aren't intended to be used at will with a limited number of uses.

[uneven lantern]

I usually just add an existing container and rename it.

[uneven lantern]

And it’s definitely possible to have feat spells show up in the Spells tab.

[twilit root]

Then my question is... how do I do that?

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, I’m more surprised that yours aren’t already.

I’d suggest making a homebrew copy of a feat like Magic Initiate. Then you can peek inside and see exactly how it was set up.

[twilit root]

These feats were copied from Magic Initiate

I created feats that allow me to add spells from ANY class to my wizard. One for cantrips, one for lvl 1 spells, one for lvl 2-3 spells, and one for lvl 4-5 spells. Couldn't get the prerequisite function to make a homebrew feat require another homebrew feat, but that isn't really a problem as the text is still there saying it is required.

I have a test character up and running. I get the spells in the character sheet, but not in the character builder -> class -> Spells menu. If I add the spells through a homebrew background I do get the spells showing up in that menu.

The spells work as intended. They can be cast with any available slot, instead of being limited. This is intended to be used in a homebrew campaign where we will be able to train for feats. It will be bothersome to keep track of which of these spells are on my prepared list as they always show up on the character sheet.

[uneven lantern]

Ah, now I gotcha.

To do it that way, you’d need a homebrew background, subclass, or race.

[twilit root]

TIL you can customize items with a capacity weight override

[gusty herald]

Did the price of the Planescape Digital + Physical bundle change ?
the dndstore Europe homepage shows that it's €114.99 but then the cart shows it as €84.99 but I proceed to checkout it goes back to €114.99

[modest pelican]

I'm afraid we can't help with that as the bundle isn't sold through D&D Beyond

You'd need to contact customer service through the links provided on dndstore.wizards.com

[gusty herald]

thank you

[modest pelican]

sorry I can't be more help

[gusty herald]

it's okay, can't help with everything

[dire shoal]

so im looking at downloading D&D beyond on to my tablet and im slightly concerned if it will work as it only has 2gb of ram and is running on android 8.1

[dire shoal]

i think it could possibly a pre-order discount? don't quote me on it but it is a possibility

[reef flower]

can anyone help me with how to create a custom vehicle?

[reef flower]

I mean, with a stat block like the various ships in Saltmarsh

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond doesn't support homebrew vehicles at this time

[reef flower]

ok, thank you

[carmine timber]

Is there a list of tags you can use in the text editors when created homebrew stuff: like descriptions, etc. And with tags I mean things like [spell] [\spell]? It would seep that [spell] isn't one of them.

[uneven lantern]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips

[uneven lantern]

@lyric leaf That character has ten spells that are set as Always Prepared.

Add the normal 13 a level 10, WIS +3 Cleric, and that’s 23.

[lyric leaf]

How does that happen?

She's a halfling cleric with a Life domain. Don't know where the "Always Prepared" status comes from.

[uneven lantern]

Ah, those are just your Life Domain spells.

Each domain has a list of spells — its domain spells — that you gain at the cleric levels noted in the domain description. Once you gain a domain spell, you always have it prepared, and it doesn’t count against the number of spells you can prepare each day.

You can view the list of spells in the subclass itself:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/cleric#LifeDomain

[lyric leaf]

So, Domain spells are freebies that don't count against your regualr Prepared limit. I must not have specified a domain for my other NPC cleric.

Okay, thank you. I figured the error was all mine. Like I said, I rarely have to deal with clerics in my campaign, so I was not tuned in to this. Thanks!

[real path]

Sometimes, DDB wont load some images for me. Example:

I disabled all DDB specific browser extensions and forced a refresh without cache already. Browser is Opera (current version)

doesnt load background and character portrait in this case

[marsh ice]

I am having a problem where it wont let me pull up purchased content ive already bought. I have a subcription till next year

[edgy oriole]

Not using VPN or have a thirdparty antivirus tool? Sometimes those can interfere (and I know one of the Opera browser versions has a built in VPN tool).

[edgy oriole]

Go to your DnDBeyond user profile and make sure your entitlements are in sync.

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

Subscriptions shouldn't touch anything that you've bought.

[marsh ice]

I believe they took BG out of the players bundle?

[real path]

I dont have a VPN activated and I just checked the site with my antivirus deactivated. no change.

[edgy oriole]

Can you open up your browser dev tools and check the console after refreshing the page? Any red error messages?

My hunch is that one of the services DnDBeyond uses - at least in your region - is not working as expected.

[real path]

I got a lot of
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_ADBLOCKER
but I dont have any adblocker enabled on the site

oh and this Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 ()

i think that is the background

[edgy oriole]

Does your ISP do any adblocking services?

That is pretty weird

Particularly if you're not using an Adblocker

Or... does your internet router have any adblocking tools in place?

[real path]

let me check. I think I just got a normal firewall

[edgy oriole]

Also is this a recent issue? Has there been any changes of how you access DnDBeyond? Or with your ISP or network setup?

[real path]

its been going on for a few weeks at least

soo, I open the same page in firefox and dont have the issue, I dont think its an ISP or router problem

[edgy oriole]

So that sounds like something Opera is doing then

are you sure Opera's VPN thingy is not on?

[real path]

yep, just double checked

[edgy oriole]

Because the behavior you're seeing really does suggest adblocking or VPN-like behavior

Okay welp...

Firefox works, Opera does not

Might want to double check all the Opera settings and see if something there is impacting things - like blocking 3rd-party cookies

[real path]

yeah I will take a deep dive I guess

could it be the IPFS/IPNS gateway?

[edgy oriole]

Maybe - if it's sending the traffic through some other service or whatever that can definitely impact things.

[real path]

hmm, changing it didnt do anything

[edgy oriole]

Okay I'd reset it back to it's native state then.

[summer fog]

I'm making a wood half-elf and I can't find anything on the racial page to choose my profs for skill versatility?

I only have the Tasha's options but I don't want them

and I already unchecked the optional origin manager but my sheets still only provides options for the optional origin manager

[real path]

hmm deleting cookies worked.

[uneven lantern]

A wood half-elf with skill versatility is mechanically just a regular half-elf. Select that for your race instead.

Narratively, you can describe it however you like.

[summer fog]

ok thanks

not the most intuitive but whatever works, it's fine

[uneven lantern]

It makes more sense with the context of the actual rule here.

Wood half-elf doesn’t exist in the book itself as a distinct race.

Some half-elves in Faerûn have a racial trait in place of the Skill Versatility trait. If your DM allows it, your half-elf character can forgo Skill Versatility and instead take a trait based on your elf parentage:

• A half-elf of wood elf descent can choose the wood elf’s Elf Weapon Training, Fleet of Foot, or Mask of the Wild.

Cool, thanks. I'm still exploring the site. But as long as I know it's possible, I'll figure it out :-)>

[cedar relic]

if you need any help dont hesitate to reach out

Any character options owned by anyone in the campaign will be shared with the whole group. Shared character options are only available to characters in the campaign that’s sharing them.

This channel is for getting technical support with DnDBeyond tools and services - your question would be better suited for #dm-discussion

Can you name a specific monster, as an example? What happens when you try to add the token exactly?

[edgy hazel]

There is no option in the class page or when I “finish” the character it won’t let me add spells
