[floral relic]

It was a wood woad I believe, I have content sharing on my campaign and while I can check the character in the encounter tab I can't select it in maps

[hushed grotto]

When we click on our character sheets to roll an attack or damage, nothing happens. If we then refresh our browser window everything works as expected. This is happening about every round.

When we click on our character sheets to make an attack or roll damage, nothing happens until we refresh our browser windows. This is happening on pretty much each player round.

[uneven lantern]

So after you refresh your browser, you’re able to roll as normal? At what point does it stop letting you roll?

[hushed grotto]

It usually stops working at the beginning of each player’s round.

[uneven lantern]

And the same thing happens for all players? All using different devices and browsers, I assume?

[hushed grotto]

Yes. Same for all players. We’ve tried Edge and Chrome. We are playing with AboveVTT.

[uneven lantern]

Does it work with AboveVTT disabled?

[hushed grotto]

We haven’t tried that since we’re in the middle of a gaming session. It does work normally sometimes but usually not.

[uneven lantern]

Above seems like the probable cause.

TBH, I’ve never heard of this happening before.

But since Above intentionally alters the normal functionality of the site, then it seems likely it could be causing abnormal behavior here.

[hushed grotto]

One of our players just quit the game and came back to the campaign without joining above and it still happened. She’s trying it with above disabled now and it seems to work. I’ll submit the question to AboveVTT support.

[uneven lantern]

Good luck

[uneven lantern]

You don’t own that monster yourself, then? Does someone in that specific campaign own it?

How did you set up this feature?

[floral relic]

Yeah the book is shared, so i can read it no problem, and it was unlocked in the dnd beyond encounter maker, but couldn't add it to maps

[uneven lantern]

Shared through that specific campaign, or through another one?

[floral relic]

same

[uneven lantern]

And what happens when you try to add it?

[floral relic]

It just won't let me. Says its not in my content library, which yeah i don't have the book myself, but im able to add the creature to everything else

[floral relic]

I assume its because its very early release

[uneven lantern]

Possibly. I’m able to add it to my Maps just fine, but I do own it myself.

I don’t see anything in the FAQ about content sharing either…

[floral relic]

Yeah they may not have added that yet

[uneven lantern]

I put out a question behind-the-scenes just to see, but I don’t expect an answer over the weekend.

[edgy hazel]

I set up a new racial feature. Then went into options in that racial feature. Then set an option for warlock and wizard cantrips

I have other screenshots If that’s not clear

[uneven lantern]

An Option with Is Granted is given automatically. It won’t show up as a choice.

And if you only have a single Option, you probably don’t need Options at all.

[shrewd lance]

If I buy a subscription and then make a 7th character (above the maximum character limit) and then my subscription runs out will I lose my character?

[lapis geyser]

i believe it locks your characters, and you pick 6 to unlock until you resub

[stoic lantern]

Hey, does anyone have a free website for doing online battles

[lapis geyser]

this channel is for help with dndbeyond, try #third-party-tools-archive

[stoic lantern]

Thanks

[uneven lantern]

D&D Beyond has both Encounters and Maps, if either (or both) of those fit what you’re looking for.

[edgy hazel]

How would I make that a choice for the players? There will be 4 total options; 2 at base Level and another 2 at Level 5

The idea is 2 cantrips, 1 each from warlock and wizard spell lists. Then at Level 5, 2 Level 1 spells, 1 each from the same spell lists.

[topaz tide]

I am trying to add an intelligence modifier bonus to initiative rolls on an item in the homebrew system. would anyone know how or know where i can find out how to do that?

[zealous tundra]

ugh. i have been getting this screen all evening and now i can't even get in

odd, clearing my browser's cookies for the site helped

[scenic grove]

I made a homebrew scimitar with the versatile property and tried to set the versatile damage to 2d6 but it just went with 1d8 and I'm not sure how to get the damage I want

[remote sinew]

one of my players is not having the spell 'silvery barbs' show up on their spell list, they have access to all the sources and is a level 3 divination wizard, it shows up for them on the fey touched feat but not on their regular spell list, any idea why this would be?

[modest pelican]

Have the enabled Magic: the Gathering Content?

[remote sinew]

ah that was it, they had enabled everything but that, thank you

[modest pelican]

glad to help

[stone sapphire]

I applied for an edu license 10 days ago, and there has been no reply to my request. Is there a way to contact ddbeyond about this?

[modest pelican]

You'll just have to wait for D&D Beyond to contact you back about your application

[pale crater]

need help i have friend that are hero subs and they cant use the alpha map to view my home brew campaign map

[modest pelican]

To create and manage maps you need a master tier subscription

To be invited, you don't need a sub

[pale crater]

i have master

been master over 4 years

but we figured it out thanks

[sweet dock]

In underdark mode, my background feature is an unreadable dark brown/red text

it doesn't appear to be attached to my sheet's color theme and doesn't happen for any other text as far as i can tell

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[sweet dock]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/109039589

[wraith pendant]

How do I add a cantrip that's not on my class's spell list? And how do I make it not count against my cantrips amount?

Got all purpose tool for artificer

[uneven lantern]

It seems like whoever created this homebrew background set their own custom color there.

You'd need whoever created it to remove that.

[sweet dock]

ah i didnt even realize it was homebrew

thanks so much

[uneven lantern]

It probably belongs to someone else in that campaign, then. You'd could ask your group to find out.

[uneven lantern]

I used a homebrew feat for mine.

Using a homebrew item would make it more difficult to swap the spell.

[sweet dock]

It's in my collection, I must have just added it a long time ago.

[wraith pendant]

Hoped I could avoid this

After all it's not a homebrew magic item I use. Why should I go through all this hustle?

But thanks anyway

[rancid wraith]

I'm currently making a Bloodhunter subclass and I was wondering if it is possible to change the Hemocraft modifier (WIS/INT->CON), as part of the subclass.
If yes, how would one go about doing so?

[balmy venture]

I don't think its possible to create homebrew on DDB that alters base class features (such as the hemocraft feature)

[unique gust]

Hey if i've an Encounter created on the site, can i somehow access it via the app ?

[edgy oriole]

Currently DnDBeyond Encounter tools are website-based only

You could use your mobile device's web browser to access it I suppose.
But it's not built into the app yet.

[rotund crescent]

can anyone help me create options for a subclass im making? i want it to be akin to battlemaster options where they can select from a list. however, the issue im facing is that whenever i check, has options, i make options, then put them to unlock at 3rd level. then when i save and refresh everything, the dropdown list doesnt show up under the class.

[uneven lantern]

I’d recommend making a homebrew copy of Battle Master so you can see exactly how it was set up and compare notes.

You didn’t mark the Options as “Is Granted”, did you?

[rotund crescent]

i think i did but i changed that, i just tried doing the battle master copy thing and tried mimicking that on my homebrew sheet. for some reason still doesnt work

tried doing it without "is granted" and it didnt work either

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the character sheet.

If you just unchecked that now, you may need to wait a little bit.

[rotund crescent]

even if i refresh it a few times?

unfortunate

[uneven lantern]

Yep. It’s cached server-side, so it’s not something you can control on your end.

That second image, though, also shows that it’s set to let them pick two Options at level three… but there’s only a single Option to choose from.

Not sure if that’ll cause an issue or not.

[rotund crescent]

i had it like that just so i could see if it would open the option for 2, but ill change that to accomodate one just in case

[uneven lantern]

Or rather, I’m not sure if it’s causing this issue. It will definitely cause an issue of one kind or another. 😅

[rotund crescent]

i fixed it anyhow, now i guess i have to just sit here and wait about 15 minutes for it to update

god do i wish ddb homebrew worked like any other sheet management site where i can just type everything in but this what we workin with cause im too lazy to hand do it in avrae

[rotund crescent]

its yielded no results sadly

[rotund crescent]

so, im able to use the battlemaster fighter as a base and plug n play and it works. the problem is when i try to do it in rogue and just make it from scratch following the same steps as battlemaster fighter, it just, refuses to work and i dont know why

[woven rain]

When I go to the front page, it says I'm logged in, but when I try to access anything other than the front page, I'm suddenly not logged in anymore. Anyone else having these issues, and if so does anyone know what to do to solve it?

[willow relic]

Also getting this problem

Might be a server side maintenance

[sacred latch]

Ditto

[woven rain]

It might just be a server problem, and we might just have to wait it out, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

[lone silo]

just here to confirm same issue for me and several others also. definitely must be a server/website issue

[modest pelican]

Might want to try the following steps (as I'm not seeing the issue)

1. Go to the homepage
2. If it's showing you as logged in, log out
3. Clear your cache and cookies for D&D Beyond
4. Log in again

This might fix a bad cache/cookies which can make the homepage display you as logged in when you're not, and also regenerate any logged in tokens

[haughty ginkgo]

This issue is also happening for myself and my party of 4

[modest pelican]

I've raised this with the team, so don't need any further confirmation that it's happening

[cinder cipher]

hi - seems the character section is broken? I'm not sure if this is a device issue

[lone silo]

clearing the cache didn't work. thanks for letting the team know for all of us!

[lone silo]

^ it's now being raised 🙂

[cinder cipher]

thank you!

[modest pelican]

If there are any updates, the mod team will endeavour to post them here as soon as they can

[young drum]

it seems to be common since i'm having the issue myself, and there's a forum on dnd beyond talking about it

[unique willow]

same here

[young drum]

correction: there was a forum on dnd beyond. but it's since been deleted

[modest pelican]

No it hasn't, it's been consolidated into a single thread

As 3 threads reporting the same issue are not necessary

[rotund rock]

Ah, man. My game starts in two hours. 😱

[serene marsh]

Mine started an hour ago :/

[modest pelican]

The issue has been raised for investigation and the team is aware

[slim pagoda]

Cool I was just about to ask about this my pages keeps saying I'm not logged in on my characters and forbidden from my campaigns scared me for second

Luckily I don't have a game for another 9/10 hours

[unique willow]

i am also actively playing lol

[fleet imp]

i think i am having a bug in dnd beyond when i try to access my characters or campaigns it instantly logs me out of my account and if i try to access a character link it just says rolled 1 on authentication does anyone know how to fix this?

[modest pelican]

I would ask people keep this chat clear of general chatter; it makes it difficult for the team to relay updates
The issue is still with the team and the moderators her will endeavour to post updates as soon as we have new information

[solemn bobcat]

Im experience some weird stuff on dnd beyond I can't check my characters it wil. Be bring at the page of starting for making an. Charater for free

[modest pelican]

@solemn bobcat As you were told, the team is aware of the issue. Please see above

[solemn bobcat]

Alright ty

My apologies

[short mist]

any idea when this will be resolved

[lone silo]

he says he will update us when they can 🙂

[short mist]

thankls

[sturdy scroll]

in the meantime you can still acces your characters trough the app if i'm not mistaking

[edgy oriole]

Thanks for your patience folks as devs look into the issue.

[young drum]

it's gone back to working for me

[vivid flicker]

Yes but it won’t update or sync. But yes temp it works

Same. Back up

[lone silo]

ey yo it works for me too

[sturdy scroll]

🥳

[rotund raptor]

Hi, so i am logged in on beyond, but whenever i press characters or tend to go to my characetrs, it automatically logs me out, same goes for looking at my subscriptions, anyone with an idea how i could solve this?

[modest pelican]

Team is still actively monitoring and investigating, but services should start returning to normal

[lone silo]

they were just looking into fixing this ^ our just this second started working! try again?

[lone silo]

thank you brothers

[modest pelican]

https://tenor.com/view/jurassic-park-back-business-working-gif-19235254

[rotund raptor]

ow lord it just gotten normal, thanks, i was a bit worried bout it

[modest pelican]

And sisters and all betwixt

[unique willow]

thanks!

[short mist]

woo i was worried i had a game at 8 i needed to run

[solemn bobcat]

Poggers

[mental garden]

thats actually pog thanks for solving it so fast the mod team is always so nice here

[modest pelican]

Mod team didn't do anything except report it to the devs and try and keep y'all as informed as possible, but thank you for the kind words anyway

[woven rain]

Thank you mod team and dev team.

Ya'll are kings and queens and inbetweens.

[rotund raptor]

i accidentally published my homebrew race, how do i delete it?

or how do i get it back offline?

[naive lodge]

You cannot, that's why you are given multiple warnings.

[rotund raptor]

weird, i didnt get any....

is there a chance you guys can get it off?

[modest pelican]

You 100% would have

After you click Share With The Community, there'd be a dialogue where you confirm that you've read the homebrew rules and guidelines before posting

And no, published homebrew cannot be unpublished by request

[rotund raptor]

well f, now there is an unfinished probably broken homebrew race out in the wild. darn it

[wraith pendant]

Is ddb slow for everyone rn?

[steep delta]

Actually would my question be better suited for here?

Might as well ask.

Hey, is it possible to add a custom language to a homebrew race in DND beyond?

[modest pelican]

You can add custom proficiencies, including languages, directly on your character sheet

[drowsy tapir]

HELLO i have a question
a little bit ago i was in a campaign that i am no longer; it gave me access to all of the DMs books and the races they could play as
i want to give my family access to all of the books i own in dnd beyond,,,,, how do i do that?

[modest pelican]

You'll need a Master Tier subscription, then create a campaign, enable content sharing, and invite your family members to join the campaign

Once they have a character in the campaign, they'll be able to access your shared content

[drowsy tapir]

ty!

[steep delta]

That doesn't answer my question though. I know that. I need to know if it's possible to add a custom language to a homebrew race.

[modest pelican]

No, it's not

[steep delta]

dang it

[idle arch]

With the new Maps Alpha, does your whole party need a master tier subscription, or just 1 member?

[modest pelican]

Just the DM

(ie the person managing the maps and tokens)

[idle arch]

How do other party members access it?

[modest pelican]

Send them a map invite link or hit the map join button on their character sheet

[lunar wolf]

Where is the "Play Activity Survey" that was launched yesterday? The community update says they want people to participate in it but no one knows where it is?

[modest pelican]

It was targeted to launch yesterday, but I don't believe it has yet

[uneven lantern]

It did. You can find a link in #dnd-announcements.

[modest pelican]

Ah, thanks spam!

[uneven lantern]

You should also see a blue banner at the top of dndbeyond.com that has a link to it.

For your convenience, though: https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7509689/dnd

[old cedar]

Anyone else having an issue downloading the new Lightning Keep adventure in the mobile app?

[modest pelican]

What issue are you having?

[old cedar]

I press download, then the button briefly appears as 'Preparing'
Immediately after it says download failed

[modest pelican]

Okay, I'll pass that along

@old cedar can you try again now?

[old cedar]

Whatever you guys did fixed it, thanks a ton!

[modest pelican]

No worries, glad it's working

[edgy hazel]

First @uneven lantern thanks for all your help so far with my custom race questions! I have another however😑. I have successfully gotten my custom race to chose from a list of spell(warlock and Druid cantrips lists specifically) at first level. I want to do that same thing with cleric cantrips but they won’t populate where all the other classes give me a drop down list. Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of the issue?

[edgy hazel]

So for every other class, the list of cantrips pops up but for cleric spells in particular the list won’t pop up

This is in character creation

[uneven lantern]

And how did you set up the Cleric ones?

[edgy hazel]

The same way as my other race. I added a racial feature, went into options and set the two spell lists to chose from

Warlock, wizard and Druid cantrips worked but cleric isn’t

[hallow ivy]

nvm, figured it out

[edgy oriole]

You can't prove you own physical books to DnDBeyond unless it came with a code to do so - and currently the only way to get that is by purchasing some of the hybrid bundles through the Wizards of the Coast store. You can use the homebrew tools to recreate things for your own personal use (just don't publish them and make them publicly available to others).

[hallow ivy]

Yeah I have the entire set.

In box with the little DM barrier

Does it have to be through wizards?

I got mine off amazon.

[edgy oriole]

It has to be bought through Wizard's of the Coast's store as one of the hybrid physical + digital bundles - they email you a code to use to unlock the content on DnDBeyond. Currently there isn't any other way to buy physical and also get digital access as they are sold as separate products except through WoTC's online store physical+digital bundles.

[hallow ivy]

sad

[edgy oriole]

The issue of having lots of small mom and pop stores and distributors with systems not tied directly to WoTC's systems and also just the issue of publishing physical books. If every physical book were to come with a digital access code, all the books would have to be shrink wrapped and stored in secured locations to protect the digital codes.

[fickle palm]

Can you rename individual monster tokens in the new dnd beyond map screen?

[hallow ivy]

yeah thats a shame I gotta copy and paste all of the drow race now

[edgy oriole]

Not yet. It's on the roadmap though (Additional Token Options)

[fickle palm]

Brilliant, I did a test play and that was really my only gripe

[edgy oriole]

You can see a bit of the roadmap here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/games

[fickle palm]

Awesome

Fog of war eraser size options would be good

[unique gust]

if i make a custom creature, can that somehow be accessed via the app ?

[edgy oriole]

Add that to your survey feedback!

[edgy oriole]

The app is primarily player focussed at this time - it focusses on Books, Lists (look ups of official materials), Characters, and Campaigns (overview). It doesn't yet have access to homebrew creations.

So no, your homebrewed creature can't be accessed through the mobile app. Only through the website.

[hallow ivy]

I'm gonna be here for another hour bruh

[naive lodge]

Yeah, the Homebrew tools are the same as what the content team works with, just with some of the admin permissions removed.

[hallow ivy]

since I have the book ima just gonna write everything word for word and call it a day

[uneven lantern]

Just to throw it out there: you can also buy individual character options instead of the full book.

So if Drow is all you need for now, you could get that alone.

Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too, so you can just grab what you need when you need it.

[hallow ivy]

minor issue

im broke

money is squalid levels of broke

[drowsy tapir]

hihi i dont see the grung book anywhere in the app for dnd beyond;;;;,…,,.. where it go

[dire blade]

It’s showing up for me. Do you own it / is it shared with you?

[drowsy tapir]

i do not own it but all of the other books i dont own show up for me

as much as i’d love to have it 😭

[rose parrot]

you can heal people through clothes right? like don't have to make direct contact to the skin?

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #dnd-rules can help answer that.

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

[vestal skiff]

How do I add a improvised weapon on dnd beyond?

[edgy oriole]

On the front page of the sheet under actions, click "Manage Custom" and in the dropdown select the action type. Then fill in the details of that action/attack - if it's meant to be an attack make sure to check the box so it will show up under your attack options.

[rancid wraith]

How can one increase/set the ability dc on a character sheet (ex: ki dc, hemocraft dc, etc)?
If not possible directly, is it possible to do through an homebrew item?

[modest pelican]

@proper vessel You can't view the legacy content likely because you don't own it and aren't having it shared with you

[proper vessel]

I do own Volo's guide & can't see Legacy Kobold

I can see Kenku bugbear etc

Just not Kobold as the only one

[modest pelican]

So it's not that you can't access legacy content in general, it's that you can't access specific options?

[proper vessel]

Yeah

Saying it's legacy content & they are moving on

[modest pelican]

Is there any other legacy options you should be able to access but can't?

[proper vessel]

Kobold, Lizardmen, Triton, Pure blood yuan ti, Orc

[modest pelican]

And you're sure you purchased the entire book?

[proper vessel]

Pretty sure yeah

[modest pelican]

Did you purchase the book individually, or as part of a bundle?

[proper vessel]

Individually

[modest pelican]

Okay, can you go here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace and confirm the book is listed in your transactions/current product licenses?

You should see something like this

[proper vessel]

Odd it isn't there but i was quite certain since i do have acces to half of it

[modest pelican]

Are you sure those options aren't being shared with you?

[proper vessel]

I don't share with anyone

[modest pelican]

No, shared with you

If you're in a campaign that has content sharing enabled and someone else owns those options, they'll be shared with you

[proper vessel]

Yeah i'm in no campaign

[modest pelican]

Do you have any individual purchaes listed for Volo's, like this?

If you just do Ctrl+F (or find on page on mobile) and search for Volo's

[proper vessel]

No i don't & can't see it in the market either

[modest pelican]

in that case it's not that you don't have access to something you should do, but you have access to something you shouldn't

You're possitive you don't have a single character in a single campaign?

[proper vessel]

Only my own

[modest pelican]

And is anyone else in that campaign?

[proper vessel]

A friend of mine but he hasn't used money on D&D beyond & he lends my source books but thats it

[modest pelican]

You're gonna have to contact customer support then, as I'm not sure what could be happening

http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[soft field]

okay so i need a tiny bit of help, somehow i messed up adding a cleric domains added spells. instead of giving both as known spells its having me chose between one of the other.

[uneven lantern]

I'm guessing you clicked "Add a Spell" once and listed both spells.

[soft field]

yes

[uneven lantern]

You can either click "Add a Spell" for each one individually...

Or just delete the spell you've got and add them on the main screen under Additional Specific Spells instead.

The latter will automatically handle all the rules for domain spells; you just have to put the spell name.

[proper vessel]

I'll try that doesn't make any sense to me either ^^ thanks for trying though

[soft field]

"additional spell list?"
or... like a different option?

[uneven lantern]

On the main screen for your subclass, under Basic Information.

Not inside a class feature.

[soft field]

okay

the second thing that confuses me

is that it wont let me publish..... cause it thinks that its too close to spores druid..... but its both a cleric and has very different features...

[uneven lantern]

You only need to publish if you want to make it available to the global community, after it's been fully finished and playtested and works as intended.

If you're just using it in your own campaigns, you don't need to publish and you can just ignore those errors. It will already work as-is.

All that said... you can try clicking the main Save button to re-trigger the validation, which may resolve any warnings you see. (If it doesn't, there's still a problem.)

[leaden kraken]

Hey, I just recently subscribed, where can I see this month’s subscriber perks?

[uneven lantern]

This month is a selection of map-themed character backdrops, which you can see here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscribe

You can add a backdrop to your character sheet by clicking your character name and selecting "Customize Sheet" in the sidebar.

[leaden kraken]

I took a look, I don't seem to be seeing them. I only subscribed yesterday, should I give it a day or two to sync up? I'm seeing the other benefits of subscribing already

[idle arch]

Why would the Share button be missing on one of my characters?

[modest pelican]

The character might be set to private

[idle arch]

Yep that was it. Thanks

[celest tangle]

What's that? Some kind of easter egg?

[edgy oriole]

Yes - the party wizard. Congrats on finding them!

[celest tangle]

Ohh... links and labels enter party mode too. 🥳

[soft field]

new homebrew issue.

XD am trying to do a feature that replaces lesser darkvisions with 120ft darkvision and what i got intead was it added 120 darkvision to existing races

[uneven lantern]

I think you need a Modifier with…

• Type: Set Base
• Subtype: Darkvision
• Fixed Value: 120

But you could make a homebrew copy of an official race with darkvision to see how that was set up.

[soft field]

hmmmm

its still 180 hmm

took some time to update on the sheet were all good

[woeful wadi]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask but will my adventurer bundle still give me a 10% discount when the 2024 players hand book drops

[rancid wraith]

Is there a way one can increase/set the ability dc on a character sheet (ex: ki dc, hemocraft dc, etc)?
If not possible directly, is it possible to do through an homebrew item?

[winged parcel]

I bought a whole bunch of books back in 2020 and i cant seem to access them via store, the laptop i had finally broke and well i couldnt get them off. How do i regain access to what i purchased? I tried going on to the website but nothing has come up

[naive lodge]

Make sure you're logging in with the correct account.

[winged parcel]

i did

[naive lodge]

Then you will need to contact CS: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[winged parcel]

They dont reply

[naive lodge]

It can take time depending on how many tickets have come in. Making sure that you're using the correct account is the only advice we can give. Check Twitch and any alternate Google accounts you may have.

[winged parcel]

i only have one

[lone void]

Also I believe creating a new ticket bumps you back down to the bottom of the queue, so don't spam lots in as it won't help

[rotund raptor]

is there any tutorial on how to add spells, modifiers to your traits of your homebrew race? i kinda struggle adding traits as i dont know what is what and what should be added where

[modest pelican]

Best way to figure out how something is done is to make a copy of something that already does it and see how it works

[minor belfry]

Not sure if this is correct channel but I'm not sure whats going on with this homebrew item I've created on D&D beyond.

The weapon is a longsword that is being used by a Hexblade/Rogue as the pact and hex weapon., it has has a +2 to bonus to hit and damage. I've set up the modifiers to the weapon its +2 but also the finesse property.

When the weapon is equipped and attuned to it shows correctly on the character sheet until you refresh it the page it seems to revert to using strength instead of the dexterity. Anybody know of a way to fix this or even change a shortsword to be a 1d8/1d10 weapon?

[dire blade]

Well, for starters it should be using CHA and not DEX or STR as a hex weapon. But to your second question, you can’t change the damage dice on weapons currently, so using the base of a longsword is definitely what I’d recommend. It looks configured correctly.

[minor belfry]

Hmm what about the finesse property not applying? When its added to the sheet it shows +11 to hit then when the sheet is refreshed it changes to +8 to hit - it even does this on a soulknife rogue. The weapon seems to lose the finesse property and I'm losing my mind as to why

[lapis geyser]

if your character isnt private, can you link it here? it seems to work fine if i make either a rapier with versatile or a longsword with finesse

[minor belfry]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/88942666/YDLgdV sure, it now seems to be retaining the finesse property as intended o.O

[lapis geyser]

hmm, may have been a server cache issue then, you get that sometimes when editing homebrew

[minor belfry]

Ah right I was pulling my hair out lol, thanks anyway though

[scenic grove]

So as far as books go, Tal'do'rei and the pre-orders are the only things I would have to get separate from the legendary bundle currently, right? Like in order to have all of the books

[modest pelican]

If you were to purchase the Legendary Bundle today, correct. It doesn't include pre-orders or Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting Reborn

[stark fable]

hello, is there a current roadmap for things to come in dndbeyond?

[modest pelican]

The only public facing roadmap we currently have out is for Maps. You can find it on the Maps discovery page

[stark fable]

alright, thank you 🙂

[covert notch]

Been getting this error recently. Especially trying to access encounter builder:
Please verify you are a human

Access to this page has been denied because we believe you are using automation tools to browse the website.

Anyone know what I can try to correct this? I've cleared cookies, enabled javascript, and don't have ad-block or other extensions enabled in pretty sure

[scenic grove]

will it have Tal'Dorei in the future or are you just saying today because the current pre-order stuff will be added to it when it officially releases? also, it seems like the 2 extra life works (Misplaced Monsters: Volume One and Domains of Delight) aren't included. I figure because extra life is a charity thing, but it seems to say that locatha rising is included and that's part of the bundle, so I'm not sure if those are included and I'm missing where it says it is, or if they're not since the funds from them go to a different place.

[long prairie]

does D&Dbeyond have all the phb spells available for free

[edgy oriole]

No - only the System Reference Document (SRD or the free basic rules) spells are freely available.

Spells not in the SRD must be purchased.

Or shared in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled.

[onyx lichen]

many of the spells in the free basic rules are also in the PHB, right?

[solid kestrel]

many of the spells in the PHB are free SRD stuff, such as burning hands.

but not all of them

[uneven lantern]

The PHB has another 50+ spells.

Make sure you're allowing popups and third party cookies, and disable all your extensions.

[quiet abyss]

i have, i sent in a ticket aswell as put in a ticket

[naive lodge]

I just tested it with my account and it's functioning. The troubleshooting is to try those steps (at the same time) first, then to try different browsers or devices,

[quiet abyss]

still nothing and i cant change my browser

[shell wing]

On the new Map Alpha testing... is there anyway to change a Token Name? Like if I have multiple Goblins... in the gameboard they're listed as "Goblin (A)", "Goblin(B)" etc... is there a way to relate that to the Tokens?

[modest pelican]

Not currently, no

[edgy oriole]

It is on the roadmap though

See: https://www.dndbeyond.com/games

How can I get access on #dnd-advertisements ?

[edgy oriole]

Go to #dnd-advertisements and make sure to read the channel description (there is channel specific rules) and follow the server rules. There isn't any special access.

[sacred dune]

Is there an option to toggle seeing owned content in the marketplace? I swear there was, once upon a time. Did someone move it? 🤣

[edgy oriole]

Not currently but devs are aware of the desire for a better search/filtering system overall.

[modest pelican]

In the marketplace, yes

[edgy oriole]

(well short of the checking the marketplace... and Davyd beat me to it)

[modest pelican]

It's just not on the Featured page

How does my friend have so many options on ddb but i have none?

[gritty walrus]

how do I add a character to discord campaign

[edgy oriole]

Did they buy books/items on DnDBeyond? Anything beyond the free basic rules must be purchased or shared via a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled. Or us ethe homebrew tool to create items from your physical books.

[edgy oriole]

If you are using DnDBeyond and the Avrae Discord bot, you can use Avrae's !import command to import a DnDBeyond character for use with Avrae. Check #ddb-avrae-help and #ddb-avrae-commands for more info.

[gritty walrus]

How do you make a character? Like I mean what sheets do I need?

[uneven lantern]

You can create a character here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters

[languid stream]

Is there a snippet or anything to increase size/carrying capacity and such through a feat in dnd beyond

[hybrid turret]

can anyone explain why i know 3 runes when i should know one?

is it scaling wrong?

cause the feat seems balanced like this

its supposed to scale off half proficiency

in which case

3 spells BY LEVEL 17 is awful

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character sheet?

Ah, I see

You've made your spell selections prematurely. The number of spells runes you can get with this feat is Prof/2 rounded down, which means the maximum is 3

Because feat selections can't be modified by that variable (Proficiency divided by 2), it instead gives you all three selection fields the moment you take the feat
It's up to you to only use as many as you should

Because the snippet says you know 1 rune, you're only supposed to select 1 rune, not all three

[hybrid turret]

Ahh okay, and also my character is a rogue but I was still able to take the feat, not sure if that’s due to feats I selected before but I shouldn’t be able to take it

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Add a Modifier with a type of “Size” or “Carrying Capacity”, plus an appropriate subtype.

[languid stream]

Oh cool ok, I was on phone, didn't reilize I just needed to turn my phone sideways to use modifier thing

[worn cosmos]

Has anyone been able to set up custom action for dual wielding a dagger in the off hand. I can set up the action but I am having trouble removing the damage bonus to the action. I have a 16 dexterity so I should be getting the +3 bonus to the to hit roll and no bonus to the damage roll. I can only remove the +3 to damage by removing the Dexterity as the stat associated with the action and that drops my to hit to +2. RAW I should be getting a +5 to hit and no bonus to the damage roll,

[uneven lantern]

Add an actual dagger and click it. Then open the Customize section in the sidebar and click “Dual Wield”.

[worn cosmos]

I did that and it didn't change the outcome gave me +5 to hit and 1d4 + 3 to damage. Is it a bug in the program?

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to the character?

[worn cosmos]

I think this will work. https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/107123141

file:///C:/Users/MJsto/Downloads/Jeaggan_Krystinshard_107123141%20(1).pdf

[uneven lantern]

You haven’t checked Dual Wield for either of those daggers.

Again, you can click on the weapon and open the Customize section in the sidebar to find it.

[worn cosmos]

thank you

[lime sparrow]

Dumb question. Is there any way to tell D&D beyond that I've phisically purchased Volo's guide, or do I have to pay for the thing a second time to get access to the races in beyond?

[edgy oriole]

There is not a way for WoTC to confirm you own any specific physical book - physical books don't have individual serial numbers that can be cross-referenced or stored by WoTC and these physical books are sold through so many different marketplaces that there isn't any way to create a cohesive system (plus mom and pop bookstores don't have the money to pay for updating their systems to participate in such a system). So at this time the only way to get physical + digital access is by buying one of the bundles through Wizards of the Coast's online D&D store.

What you can do is use DnDBeyond's homebrew tools to recreate the bits you need.

Just don't publish it for others to use.

[lime sparrow]

Nah, too much work for my lazy butt. I'll just stick to in person games.

Another dumb question, though this one is more curiosity than anything substatial. @edgy oriole . I'm trapped in rust belt town of less than 1000 people and the nearest game store is in the city about 3 hours away. What would game stores have to do with beyond's updates beyond just selling physical copies? I've never heard of a mom and pop having anything to do with Wizards other than a being a reseller?

[edgy oriole]

For a mom and pop store to be able to sell physical + digital there are several things that need to be in place:

1. Books must be shrinkwrapped and stored securely so the digital serial code could not be accessed
2. The Point of Sale System would need to tie the book purchase and serial number to a user's email account that would also need to be set up on DnDBeyond
3. All that user data (proof of sale, unique digital serial number for the book purchased, transaction date, etc.) would need to be communicated near real time (access to high speed internet).

And we're not even dealing with the inevitable what happens if someone sells their copy of a book? Who gets access to the digital license then?

So yeah, right now there is not feasible way for regular D&D book purchases to have digital access too beyond the current way of selling hybrid bundles through WoTC's online D&D store.

[lime sparrow]

I feel like most of that could be done on the user side and not need the store to upload anything, but fair enough. As far as resales go, I dunno, I would just expect the serial or code to be one time use similar to the way video games manage their purchase bonuses.

[edgy oriole]

It can't be done at the user side - it needs to be verified by WoTC that a specific user bought said book to be able to give them digital access.

Anyway I hope that helps answer your question - we should leave this channel open for DnDBeyond technical support though. Have a great evening!

[little plume]

My TCE isn’t downloading

, no matter what I try

[edgy oriole]

Please check https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace and make sure your entitlements are in sync.
Also make sure you actually own it (if you've bought it): https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/tashas-cauldron-of-everything - it should have a note that says you already own it or a checkmark for the items inside it.

[rancid ruin]

It's kind of detrimental to dndbeyond to not link physical books with the digital services. Most people aren't going to buy twice

[little plume]

Most, 😦

It keeps saying retry download

[edgy oriole]

Wizards of the Coast now sells hybrid physical + digital bundles on their online D&D store: https://dndstore.wizards.com/us - basiclaly you get the physical book and a DnDBeyond access code when you purchase one of these.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure your DnDBeyond app is up to date.

[little plume]

It is,

[rancid ruin]

I'm aware. Still doesn't change my point. If you already bought the book, your not likely to buy the whole thing again. You're more likely to use a different service or none at all. It's not good for dndbeyond is all I'm saying

It's probably too late for 5e but I'd hope future physical copies are different

[edgy oriole]

The problem is pretty hard to solve - see #ddb-support message and #ddb-support message. You basically have to change the whole system.

[autumn crown]

Quick question. Can the Tactical Maps for sale on DDB be used in maps yet?

I mean without downloading and reuploading them.

[modest pelican]

No, not yet

Existing maps will be backfilled over time

[autumn crown]

👍 Thanks I assumed.

[modest pelican]

Future books will release with map support from day 1

[autumn crown]

Yeah I figured, I was just going through the list of things I havent bought on DDB yet 🤣 and I was like oh hey if these work in maps I might pick them up.

[modest pelican]

You'll need to resize them if you do because they're above the upload size limit. They're optimised for printing

[autumn crown]

Thanks for the heads up!

I'll probably wait then.

[proper vessel]

Hey so I'm curious since one of my char's has a passive perception of 19 at level 6 with +3 in wisdom how can that be?

[proper vessel]

Since it doesn't give me a breakdown like AC or Spell attack bonus etc

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to said character sheet?

[proper vessel]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/109123982

[modest pelican]

Passive percetion = 10 + perception bonus
Your perception bonus is +9: +3 Wis mod and expertise which means +6 (Prof of +3 x 2)

[proper vessel]

Ohhh thanks :D

[stark fable]

Is there a workaround to customize an attackroll (1d20+9 to hit) with 3d10+6 as in the giant apes fist attack?

[glass vector]

Hi there! Ok. So, I purchased a gift for a friend on dndbeyond.com. I had her redeem it. She couldn't find the gift in the redemption section. When I checked on my end, I couldn't find the gift I purchased. HELP!

By the way, I also checked my purchase history but it doesn't list out what it is I purchased, it just shows the date and amount purchased.

Also, I did confirm that the item/gift was purchased but this was a while back and I don't remember how to get to where it is or where it would be.

[edgy oriole]

Check https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace
It should list any gift purchases (which you have to select that you're purchasing it as a gift before purchasing) right above your Order Transactions.

[drowsy spoke]

hey im making a character, im new. it says choose a generation method, witch one should i pick?

[edgy oriole]

Work with your DM and group as they’ll decide what stat generation approach they’ll use. For now I suggest starting with standard array.

[drowsy spoke]

thx

[copper garden]

Having an issue purchasing the monsters manual on ddb. It's giving me an internal error everytime I try add it to the cart?!?

[uneven lantern]

Is there an error code?

[copper garden]

Just 500

[uneven lantern]

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

[copper garden]

I went to purchase the Monster Manual. I went the way through "clicking on one of the monsters" to bring up the "add to cart button" got the error when navigating through the monster manual way. However I went to the marketplace and got it that way, all is resolved on my end.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/error?aspxerrorpath=/cart/add/299538622/3 - not sure if links are allowed, but this is the url I was given from the monster manual "add to cart"

[dusky trail]

D&D beyond have all the D&D 5e books for sale in the app or Web

All the books WotC currently sells, yes.

[dusky trail]

WotC?

[solid kestrel]

Wizards of the Coast

[uneven lantern]

The makers of D&D

[solid kestrel]

The company that does DND

[uneven lantern]

There’s a couple books they no longer sell, so you won’t be able to buy digital copies from any store, or new print copies.

[dusky trail]

and all the WotC books that are saleing are at D&D beyond

[uneven lantern]

Yes

D&D Beyond is owned by WotC.

[dusky trail]

and it probably will never delay the books for D&D beyond

[uneven lantern]

Books release digitally on the same day they do physically, if that’s what you’re asking.

[dusky trail]

yes

do they?

Hello!

The item nightbringer does not come up in any of my players' character sheets as an option to add to their inventory, and I can't find it in the homebrew editor to copy and try to force it into their inventory. Any fix short of just "making" the item from scratch?

Do you have dragonlance content enabled?

But as for not being able to make it in the homebrew item copy creator, do you have the compendium?

Hello, almost new on D&D Beyond, I bought some digital source book to be able to access some of other subclass and was wondering if by sharing selected source book in my campaign to my players they will be able to also access those subclass too?

[modest pelican]

Yes they will, if the following are true

1. someone has a master tier subscription
2. they use that subscription to enable content sharing in a campaign
3. everyone is in the same campaign
4. they make/transfer their characters into that campaign

[random scroll]

Ok thanks that's a good news to ear! Will look to it then thanks again for the quick reply!

[magic token]

Question about the maps feature, and sorry if this is an extremely preemptive question: once it gets out of alpha would it be available to lower tiers or all users to use/host? Or is it meant to be a feature exclusive to the master tier?

That's not been stated

Everything that is public knowledge facing information is on the maps discovery page

I'm trying to add prerequisites to homebrew feats I'm creating, but something is going wrong. On the feat I'm currently working on, I have a prerequisite set up as:

Prerequisite type: Class
Prerequisite sub-type: Circle of the Moon
Value: [blank]
Then on my character, who very much is a Circle of the Moon druid, the feat shows up under "Unavailable Feats" citing "Missing: Circle of the Moon".
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

[sour star]

I need to make a copy of a player's character in a DDB campaign. Since I'm the DM, I have full access to the character sheet and could recreate it, but I was hoping there's a simple way to make a copy (similar to the way I can make a copy of my own characters).

[modest pelican]

You can only copy characters you control, so they'd need to unassign the character, you claim it, copy it, then unassign and let them claim it back

[sour star]

I was afraid of that. The player is currently unavailable due to illness, so I was hoping as DM I could make a copy without recreating it. Thanks, though.

[daring seal]

is there a way i can add a homebrew feat to a modifier while creating a homebrew subclass in dnd beyond?

[barren crater]

I'm trying to make a character on the app. I've verified that I'm signed in on the app and my profile acknowledges that I'm subscribed at the master level, however (even though I have access to MPMM) it won't let me choose Tabaxi as species. Could you help?

[modest pelican]

When making a character using shared content, you need to be making the character within the campaign the content is being shared through

[barren crater]

Even though I'm the one with the subscription?

[modest pelican]

Do you own Monster of the Multiverse?

[barren crater]

Hardcopy, yes. And I'm paying $6 a month for the subscription.

[modest pelican]

In order to use content from a book you either need to own the book on D&D Beyond or have it shared with you

Subscriptions do not grant access to any content by themselves

For a book to be shared with you, you must be in a campaign with someone else who owns the book, and that campaign has content sharing enabled (which requires a subscription)

[barren crater]

How do I start a character within my campaign?

[modest pelican]

Follow the invite URL and either select to join with an existing character or create a new character within that campaign

Just to double check

1. Have you enabled content sharing in that campaign
2. Is there someone else in that campaign that owns Monsters of the Multiverse (on DDB)
   ?

[barren crater]

Yes to the first, and my subscription has given me and my players everything else on the players side of the game so far. If that's not what I'm paying for, then there's no point in the subscription, from my point of view.

I can understand still keeping monsters, adventures, etc behind an additional paywall. But having full access to the players side of the game for me and the players (or at least the specific linked characters), is the entire reason I subscribed

[modest pelican]

Your subscription won't have given you access to any content, it will just have allowed content that other people in the campaigns you're in to be shared with you

D&D Beyond subscriptions have never granted access to content by themselves

The Master Tier subscription has only ever allowed sharing of content between people in a campaign

[barren crater]

Then I'll be cancelling as there's no point to it

[modest pelican]

That's your prerogative

Question... Any fix on the Verify Your Human prompt? Ive been pressing the button for 20mins. Still the same issue...

[grizzled hearth]

Anyone else got this when you open a book on the app

[edgy oriole]

That sometimes happens I think because the app didn't fully complete an update or something. Try closing the app and restarting it. If that doesn't fix it, you may need to reinstall the app.

[edgy oriole]

Some things to try:

1. Disable any VPN software/browser extension
2. Enable 3rd-party cookies allowed for DnDBeyond in your browser (DnDBeyond needs to communicate with Google/Apple/Twitch/WoTC services to allow you to login)
3. Disable any browser extensions that my interfere with DnDBeyond functionality (Beyond20, AboveVTT, etc.)
4. Clear browser cache and cookies, restart browser.

[grizzled hearth]

That works cheers

[drowsy tapir]

Hihi ! when you content share in master tier; you get to show everyone your own races, do you get theirs was well? cause i have new content shared books in my thing lmao

and if this is the case why dont i have content sharing from all of my party members?

[modest pelican]

Content sharing shares everything everyone owns with everyone else in the campaign

[drowsy tapir]

okay nvm apparently they havent bought any books they only bought races individually
are we still able to content share those?

[modest pelican]

Yep, individual purchases would be shared as well

[drowsy tapir]

i dont have the option to play their races when i try to make characters though

for example; they got Warforged, i dont

[modest pelican]

Do you have Eberron content enabled?

And are you making the character in the campaign that content is being shared through?

[drowsy tapir]

im the DM of that campaign
do i need to? cause i have the stuff from all of my other players no matter where i make one, i just dont have this players stuff in particular

how do i enable eberron content?

[modest pelican]

Shared content will only appear in the character builder if the character is being made in the campaign, or is already in the campaign and being edited

It won't appear if you're making the character outside of the campaign

And you can enable eberron content from the first page of the character builder

[drowsy tapir]

but i can see all of the other shared content, just not that players

[winter flume]

Do the newest books offer access to D&D Beyond as well. I have just checked my store and it says that 'The Deck of Many Things' book includes D&D Beyond access as well?

[modest pelican]

The only way to get a digital copy with your physical copy is by buying a digital/physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com

[hexed magnet]

I am trying to homebrew spells with a save but cant get it to work it only comes up as to hit and it doesnt scale on dnd beyond help please.

[warped yew]

Not sure where else to ask for clues on this.... I was just messin an encounter set up and found that the Basic low cr Modron doesn't apear available anymore...heck it doesn't apear...the newer upper cr fancy modrons from the new Planescape book pop up but non of the usual hum drum low cr ones... have tget been removed fully due to that new book?

[lapis geyser]

Best bet is to make a copy of a spell that has a save and scales, and see how they did it

[lapis geyser]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/mm/monsters-m#Modrons are these what you're looking for?

[warped yew]

Yeah thats em...the issue is they dont seem to pop up on the encounters area as an option.

Might just be my thing being set up odd...ill have another tinker just in case iv unknowingly set the cr up high and perhaps not noticed.

[lapis geyser]

how are you trying to find them? i f you just search Modron, they wont come up, since that isnt actually in their name

[warped yew]

Yea i figured it....iv been just putting in Modron without thinking....to many ponderings at once while planning things sos...and thanks.

[hexed magnet]

I tried it didn’t work 😢😢 specifically fireball it was exactly the same apart from wording but grammatically the same

[lapis geyser]

also keep in mind that homebrewe edits can take up to 15 minutes to show up

[hexed magnet]

That I didn’t know

[mental solar]

why is the repeating crosbow that is in Oota but it is not in the merchant shop. so when gm tells a player you get this but he cant add it. how do we fix this ?

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'merchant shop', but WotC hasn't defined it as a basic piece of gear and therefore isn't in mundane weapon list

There are a few items like this

[mental solar]

well i mean the books Wotc sells all those items in those books should be in the merchant store so when i player find it he can add it to his inventory

[rancid wraith]

If someone affected by Entangle, misty-steps out of the area does the restraining end?

[mental solar]

yes . misty step gets you out of trouble

[edgy oriole]

Can you explain or point out this merchant store you’re speaking of? D&D doesn’t have a merchant store that all D&D games access so I’m a bit confused about what you’re asking for here.

[mental solar]

i mean when you clik inventory then you can add items you buy or find in game. that is where the Oota item is missing so hard for players to use it when it is not there

[edgy oriole]

The user or a campaign with content sharing enabled with access to that item would need to be the starting point. If you don’t have access to it, it won’t show up.

[mental solar]

yea i know all that. the Error is they have not added this item to there programming of the items.

[raw mortar]

Are there any preorder bonuses for the new Planescape book?

[uneven lantern]

You get the Modron dice set, plus character frames and backdrops.

can anyone help me? im trying to create an account on dndbeyond, but i cant press sign in with google.

[mental hazel]

Can you fully create a Homebrew subclass completely free on dnd beyond?

[mental hazel]

Yeah same thing happened to me had to change devices to do it

[dry oar]

thank you, i will try that.

[mental hazel]

Still haven’t found a fix other then that tho and support never messaged me back

[dry oar]

still doesent work :/

[mental hazel]

Well wish I knew more honestly getting kinda annoying only able to use it on some devices

[dry oar]

ig ill use wizards of the coast

Check your browser settings to make sure pop-ups are allowed and third-party cookies are enabled.

Or you might have an extension (like an ad blocker) that’s interfering there.

[mental hazel]

Anyone know anything about this

[mental solar]

dont know if it is free but i can go under creation and then choice Background and then just create one

[mental hazel]

I was planning on making a bard subclass

But that does sound pretty good just what would I do for its subclass from the base ones? Do I then ignore the subclass features?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you can.

[mental hazel]

So far every time I tried it said stuff is missing and filled everything

[uneven lantern]

What “stuff”?

[tight coyote]

can i mark off hit dice without taking a rest? I have a symbiotic bein which expells them

[ebon minnow]

This isnt really a pressing issue but I am a bit curious as to why my homebrew monk subclass, with absolutely no ties to any existintg content besides the fortune's favor spell, is yelling at me that i plaigarized circle of spores

[uneven lantern]

Unless you’re trying to publish it to the global community (after it’s been finished and playtested and works as expected), then you can just ignore those errors.

You can already use it in any of your campaigns as-is.

That said: you can try hitting the main save button to rerun the validation and hopefully clear those errors.

[mental arch]

What does this blue sun looking icon mean on one of my player’s portraits?

[dense viper]

It means that they have clicked the inspiration button on their character sheet. To help them track if they have it or not

Hello, I just want to give my DM a present. Is there any option how to buy digital content via dnd beyond web/app as a gift?

or where can i buy a redeem code for my friend? IS there any option how to byu content as a qift for another user? Thx

[fading bramble]

there is the "as a gift" option when you check out

[little sigil]

oh really? Thx, I am going to try it

[fading bramble]

np

[little sigil]

ok, so how it works pls?
I am supposed to fill in my address etc. Pay the bill and than I will get some code that could be sent to my friend?

[fading bramble]

not sure. I've actually never tried sending something as a gift...

sorry

[modest pelican]

When you go to the checkout, make sure you check the option to buy as a gift

When you complete the purchase (which does involve filling out your address for security and tax purposes), you'll receive a digital code which will both be emailed to you and show up on your purchase history

[little sigil]

thx a lot

[modest pelican]

Make sure that is selected; if you already own the book it'll be the only option

[grim finch]

I realized I never came back to this - yes, dragonlance content is enabled and yes, I have the compendium.
Cleared cache too just to be safe and Nightbringer is still mia from both character sheets for adding and homebrew editor for copying
Looking at the comments underneath the item too, it seems this may have been a problem since at least December '22

[modest pelican]

I'm able to see it in my character sheet, can you link me to a character that can't see it?

[uneven lantern]

And just to confirm: does this page say “You've successfully claimed this product”?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/claim/source/mcv2

[fading bramble]

did you buy it from a book?

[uneven lantern]

No purchase necessary for this one. You just have to claim it at the link above for it to be added to your account.

[fading bramble]

ah

[meager temple]

How do I get access to the Planescape content. I did the early access digital purchase several days ago. I was supposed to get access yesterday but if I click on Planescape, I get re-directed to the shopping cart app where it says I have already purchased Planescape

[dire blade]

Did you preorder the digital/physical bundle? That's the only way to get early access to the content on D&DB.

[meager temple]

I pre-ordered the digital only bundle. Is that different?

[dire blade]

It's the same content, but it doesn't come with early access. You'll get access to the content on October 17th.

[meager temple]

Ah, I see. Nuts. I was excited to read it today

[vestal skiff]

On DnD beyond mobile app on Android for a second when I reloaded my character it showed their desktop background and theme and everything and had a different layout but when I reloaded the page it went back to the Normal dnd beyond grey what's up w that

[gusty charm]

the website won't let me view Planescape for some reason even though I pre-ordered it (it should be available early for pre-orders)

it redirects me to the marketplace when I try to access the book, then proceeds to also tell me that I already own the book

[modest pelican]

Did you pre-order the digital+physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com?

[gusty charm]

(sorry for the shaky phone camera)

[modest pelican]

That doesn't help I'm afraid

I need to know if you pre-ordered either
a) the digital+physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com
or
b) the digital only version from the D&D Beyond marketplace

[gusty charm]

the former

mostly because the latter didn't deliver to my country

[modest pelican]

Are you sure you're using 'former' and 'latter' correctly?

[gusty charm]

oh oops, you're right I got confused

[modest pelican]

Because the former in this case is the digital physical bundle, which does require being delivered
While the latter is the digital only which doesn't require delivery

[gusty charm]

I'm sorry

[modest pelican]

If you pre-ordered the digital only copy from D&D Beyond, then you don't get early access

[gusty charm]

ohhh, got it

[modest pelican]

That's a pre-order perk for the digital + physical bundle from dndstore.wizards.com

[gusty charm]

understood

thank you for explaining

[modest pelican]

No worries

[hushed apex]

Hi! I have a problem, whenever I'm in the page of a campaign, I can't click on anything

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by "the page of a campaign"?

Do you mean the screen where all the PCs in a campaign can be viewed?

[hushed apex]

Yes

[modest pelican]

Do you have any extensions running, such as AboveVTT?

[hushed apex]

Not that I know of, no

At least not anything ddb related

[modest pelican]

what browser are you using?

[hushed apex]

Firefox

[modest pelican]

And nothing on that page can be clicked?

[hushed apex]

Nope, nothing

I checked if it works in Chrome just now, and it does, so it might be a Firefox thing

[modest pelican]

Then you'd need to troubleshoot firefox, which isn't something we can help with

[hushed apex]

Alright thanks! I hadn't checked a different browser yet so I didn't know

[modest pelican]

Yeah, it's not something that immediately comes to mind

[hushed apex]

I refreshed Firefox and it's all good now!

[toxic harness]

If you purchase hard copy core books like Tasha's or Xanathar's, is there a way to unlock the associated content on Beyond or do you have to purchase them again in Beyond?

[modest pelican]

?books

[loud sedge]

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

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

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

[toxic harness]

thank you

I'm new to DnD Beyond but I'm trying to figure out, if my DM (the host of the campaign) has Master subscription and source books do i have access to those books to build my character as an unsubscribed user?

I see the response from Bot above which looks like the answer is yes but we can't figure out how to get it to work

[halcyon plover]

they need to turn compenium share on for that campain and you can only use the compenium for character build in that campain

[hard loom]

ok great we will try that thank you @halcyon plover

[wooden plank]

I'm a high elf life cleric which means I should get one cantrip from the wizard list. But I can't see where to add that on my character sheet. Help?

Hello, I got Tasha's book that contain Oath of Glory for Paladin, but I can access Oath of Glory only by selecting Homebrew content in the character creation. Is Oath of Glory part of the Core Rules or is the DDB considering Oath of Glory not update or something else?

[solid kestrel]

I can't figure out a way to fit both #unsigned and @rounddown in one snippet code.

Ah, they just had to be the other way around...

[modest pelican]

@autumn marsh you want #dnd-rules

[autumn marsh]

Mk my bad

[chilly token]

I'm still getting Error 503 on DDB website, is this normal?

[modest pelican]

No, it's not normal

What part of the site you are trying to access?

[chilly token]

I click on the front page and it just shows me this error, tried it on other browser too and it didn't work.

[modest pelican]

I'm looking at the frontpage right now

What happens if you go to My Characters

[chilly token]

It works now, strange. Thank you, mate.

[uneven lantern]

You need Magic: The Gathering Content enabled for that one, since that subclass was first released in Mythic Odysseys of Theros.

(If you’re seeing one when Homebrew Content is toggled on, that’s likely a homebrew version belonging to someone else in that character’s campaign.)

[uneven lantern]

For future reference:

• @ applies locally, to just a single part of the snippet. It can come after any part of the expression.

• applies globally, to the snippet as a whole. It has to come at the very end.

You can also combine them with a comma, so #rounddown,unsigned would have worked as well.

(But not the reverse in this case. #rounddown works but not @unsigned.)

[abstract cloud]

Hey, I'm trying to help my player create a new character, but whenever he tries to add a feat or background, he says he only has access to 6 of each, whereas 4 of them are my homebrew ones.

I have previously bought the Legendary Bundle, and we share a campaign in which I have shared my homebrew content with him. But he should also have access to all the feats in the Player's Handbook, plus other sources

[modest pelican]

Is the character they're making being made in the campaign that you're sharing content through?

[abstract cloud]

I sent him the link to our campaign, and I can see his character in there. He also says he can see several of my homebrew feats and backgrounds (I added several feats, like vampirism and lycanthropy, he says he can see those), so I assume so

[barren copper]

If you select the gunner feat under the custom lineage extra feat, it is not increasing the dexterity score, even tho it should

[modest pelican]

Can you check on your actual character sheet?

Sometimes the ASI doesn't show up in the builder

[barren copper]

Seems like that was the case, thanks

[abstract cloud]

The problem keeps happening. The player should have access to all the new fighting style options as well, but they're not showing up in the creator

[modest pelican]

Their entitlements may not have synced up and so they're not seeing the shared content yet

[abstract cloud]

But neither am I for the Fighting-styles when I - as the DM content sharing - is editing his character

He even tried to unassign it so I could claim it and edit it, and the extra fighting styles were still not showing up

[barren copper]

I am a bit confused regarding how attunement of equipment works in dndbeyond. How can I attune?

[modest pelican]

Select the attune option from an items description on your character sheet

[worn crane]

ok so i am making a homebrew spell and i can't get the damage to scale correctly, can i get some help?

[modest pelican]

Copy an existing spell that has similar scaling and look at how that does it, then copy that method

[barren copper]

I am unsure if I am doing something wrong or not but... the equipment is not showing up

if I equip it or not doesnt change anything about them appearing on attunement

[static kiln]

you dont seem to have any magical items that require attunement

[modest pelican]

You don't attune to mundane items

[barren copper]

I guess I meant infusing and not attuning

is it not possible then to see if you infuse an item? (Artificer infusion)

[modest pelican]

That's entirely different. You need to go to Inventory >> Infusions. Select an infusion and then in the sidebar you'll have the option to infuse the appropriate item

[grim finch]

Weird! It did not, but the compendium had been showing up in my catalogue of owned sourcebooks so I assumed that wouldn't have been a problem (I swear I claimed it previously, but oh well).

In any case, it's working now.

[uneven lantern]

If you were able to view it before, it seems likely that someone else in another one of your campaigns had claimed it.

[little plume]

I’m pretty new to the game and my friend last time helped me through this but it’s been a while and I’m not sure what to do here

Like the whole page I don’t understand..

[uneven lantern]

You should ask your DM which of those settings to use.

(If you don't have a DM yet, I'd just keep them all at their defaults.)

[autumn marsh]

For the divine magic for a sorcerer it says that you can change the spell later on from the source of divine magic. Currently the sorcerer I am making has a good divine alignment and got the cure wounds spell, how would I change out that spell later on without Changing the alignment.

Is there a way to later replace the spell I get from the alignment without changing the alignment? If so how?

[uneven lantern]

The only way to change it atm is to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and change it there.

[autumn marsh]

Oh ok

[uneven lantern]

(You could set it to allow a choice of spells instead.)

[autumn marsh]

Oh rly?

Mk so gotta homebrew it to do that.

[autumn marsh]

Aww, I don’t like how dnd wrote this ability because they make it seems the subclass has the ability to change that spell later on

The reason I ask this is because I want to have my divine sorcerer’s power come from a good alignment but have inflict wounds as the spell not cure wounds, so you’re saying to do that I have to homebrew the divine sorcerer subclass?

[uneven lantern]

Yes, you'd have to use the homebrew system to do that.

(Or ask your DM if you can select evil but just agree that you're good.)

[autumn marsh]

Awww cmon

Ok thx for the help

[fickle palm]

Hmm, any word on putting custom art on tokens for dnd beyond maps?

[edgy oriole]

You can do that for player character tokens (via the character art) and homebrew monsters (using the small avatar image).

[slate pelican]

so ya know you can claim the LOST MINE OF PHANDELVER
i claimed it and its showing up on pc but not my hpoine anyone know why

[fickle palm]

Ah, homebrew monsters perfect thank you

[uneven lantern]

Try force closing and re-opening the app.

Is that on a specific section of the site?

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

[little plume]

Ah okie

[autumn marsh]

For using a subclass like clockwork soul do I need to have bought the appropriate book aswell? Or just the subclass? To use all of the subclass’ features and what not

[uneven lantern]

Buying the subclass alone is enough.

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

[final trellis]

Of course if ytou are after the spells linked to the sublcass, those are a separate purchase (if they are licensed content)

[hollow sleet]

Is there a way I can give a “modifier” to a subrace that makes the player receive 2x as much damage the entire game? Is that possible? Im doing a joke subrace for a skeleton race I made that just gives the skeleton glass bones.

[uneven lantern]

You could use a modifier to give them vulnerability to all damage, which is functionally the same thing.

But since the player applies the damage themself regardless, it doesn’t really do anything but serve as a reminder.

[hollow sleet]

Thats true,I wanted to really make it and see how truly bad I could make it, so it was gonna be you deal 2x less, and receive 2x as much, but I guess if one of my friends actually wanted to play this dumpster fire I could leave it at just 2x received.

[autumn marsh]

For the ability to change out the spells from clockwork magic, how would I have to initiate that process?

[modest pelican]

The character sheet service doesn't currently support that
The most popular workaround is to make a homebrew copy of the subclass, and then modify the spells that way

[autumn marsh]

Damm

Whyyyy

Just why.

[modest pelican]

For the reason I said, the character sheet service doesn't currently support that functionality

[autumn marsh]

Sigh

Thx for the info

Well, time to get the paper out again then 😛

[placid trail]

Hello! One of my players says he has lost his dndbeyond login information, and has not been successful apparently with a password reset. In an effort to get up and running today, he has created a new dndbeyond account and accepted my campaign invite (with content sharing on), and is attempting to clone his old character to a new character owned by this new account.

He has set his classes as Fighter / Rogue / Warlock, but has not found how to set them to Eldritch Knight, Swashbuckler, and The Hexblade. I don't see how to set this up either. Anyone know what we are missing?

[uneven lantern]

Is he creating that character within the campaign? Shared character options from your campaign are only available to characters assigned to your campaign.

He could also check whether his account entitlements are in sync:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

D&D Beyond doesn't store passwords directly. If he's having password trouble, he'd need to contact the company he's trying to sign in through: Apple, Google, or Twitch.

Alternatively, customer support can assist with recovering his D&D Beyond account itself. (He'd still need an Apple or Google account to log in through.)

ow wait, my bad, i was looking at fighting style, not archetype....

[solid kestrel]

I'm trying to make a class feature that imparts a flying speed, which increases at higher levels. I can't figure out how I would do that in modifiers...

[uneven lantern]

You might need to add a separate hidden feature at that higher level and put the increased modifier there.

[dense bison]

how exactly do I add spellcasting to a homebrew fighter subclass in dndbeyond? also is there a way to make it prepared, like paladin-style, instead of known?

Mhmm, but the bonus action attack seems to be missing. Is this intended?

[modest pelican]

You haven't equiped the weapon

[barren copper]

I had before

and it didnt work

Now I have it equipped again

and it doesnt show up

[modest pelican]

Ah, yeah, items can't add bonus actions

you'll have to add a custom bonus action

[barren copper]

Aight, will do that then

[dry geyser]

Is there any way to add a weapon attack for a torch? Every time I try to add it as a custom attack it's adding STR to the fire damage. I just want it to have the standard improvised weapon to-hit and then the 1 damage as stated in a Torch's description. I'd be fine just doing it at a table but I'm looking for Avrae integration

[uneven lantern]

Probably easier to add it directly in Avrae, then.

!a add Torch -b strengthMod -d "1 [fire]"

[dry geyser]

Oh good shout. Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

If you really want it in DDB, though, you'd probably have to manually add a negative damage modifier to cancel out your STR.

So if your STR is +2, you'd add a -2.

[dry geyser]

Tried that- it defaults to a minimum of 1

[uneven lantern]

Ah, "Fixed Value" does, yeah.

I don't think it's possible in DDB, then. At least not as a custom action.

[dry geyser]

Thanks for your help anyway- adding it through Avrae does the job

Is that the correct link? I updated it.

[uneven lantern]

Assuming you picked "Choose an ability score to increase by 1", you probably still need to set Fixed Value: 1 as well.

(Note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on your character sheet as well.)

[vital galleon]

Ohhh maybe that's why. I did select 1 as the fixed value

I'll check again

[uneven lantern]

Loads fine for me.

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

[unreal umbra]

It’s only on the mobile app

It’s having the same problem. My other character sheet on the mobile app has.

Last time someone said it was the homebrew but now I think it’s the app

I am using a iPhone 12 IOS 17

I even deleted the app and reinstalled it

[vital galleon]

I got it to work lol I was selecting the bonus separately instead of the choose between Dexterity or Wisdom Bonus in the modifiers

[barren copper]

uh... I logged in now and I am recieving this page after I entered email and password

Seems like it was some kind of outage or smth but now it is gone and I could login

Hi all - I'm using the ddb character sheet and have a question regarding the mage armor spell. Is there a way to let ddb know I cast it so it'll automatically adjust my wizards's AC?

[edgy oriole]

No there is no automatic way to have it set your AC. You will need to manually adjust your AC by clicking the AC section of your sheet and manually adjusting your AC to match what Mage Armor provides.

[urban lotus]

Gotcha. Thanks.

[buoyant lichen]

Wizard. Does it work differently on others? I know Cleric it did it correctly.

Also on a different topic, if I tried to copy the artillerist features and just slotted them into my custom subclass with a bunch of other things, would I be able to publish it?

I'm trying to get past the "Not enough features at levels"

[uneven lantern]

Cleric works that way because they have a feature called Domain Spells that works the same for all its subclasses. Additional Specific Spells handles those class-specific rules.

Since wizards have no such rules (and since putting spells there did nothing for you), I think it’s safe to assume that approach won’t work here.

[uneven lantern]

And no, you would not be able to publish that, even with the right levels. Users are only allowed to publish their own original creations.

You can find the Homebrew Rules and Guidelines here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

[buoyant lichen]

You think remaking it as INT Cleric would be best?

[buoyant lichen]

Basically I’m trying to give access to all spells but give the player a set of spells he can cast on his own. The “all other class spells” is a crafting thing.

So if he sees always prepared, he can cast it on his own. If not, he has to craft them with other caster help.

[river ravine]

I think i did something wrong in my homebrew race? all my bonuses' are wayyyy high, does anyone know how to fix it?

[balmy venture]

It's hard to say without showing the mechanics in the homebrew youve added to the sheet. I'd assume youve added a modifier to some homebrew that has added a +8 to all your ability checks

[river ravine]

would sending the race help?

[balmy venture]

a screenshot of the modifiers section in the homebrew editor would be useful

[river ravine]

how do i get there? sorry im still getting used to homebrewing

idk if this is what you mean, but these are the only modifiers i have added

[balmy venture]

In that second screenshot, I believe that using Proficiency - Ability Checks: Dex will grant the race proficiency in every type of dexterity ability check. Is that intentional?

That isn't what is causing the +8 however, do your recall adding a modifier to any of the racial traits that affect ablity checks, that would be where to start looking

[river ravine]

no, ill fix that, ty for pointing that out

and i dont think so, those were the only things i added T-T

[balmy venture]

Is there any other homebrew on the sheet other than race? A custom feat or magic item perhaps?

[river ravine]

nope, nothing else, just the race is all

ty for trying to help, ill figure it out tomorrow, its getting late

[modest pelican]

@eternal pendant You want #dnd-newcomers

[dusty turret]

When will the encounter builder ever go out of beta?

Or will it never be developed on

[modest pelican]

Cannot answer that I'm afraid

[modest pelican]

Development is still on going

[midnight heart]

Hello people, i need some help. I create a caracter in dndbeyound.com and server in discord. I whant manage a game in discord from actions on site. What can i use? How can i do that?

[edgy oriole]

Hi there - this channel is for getting technical support with DnDBeyond's tools and services. You may be looking for information on Avrae, a Discord bot DnDBeyond owns and operates. Check with folks in #ddb-avrae-help to get help in setting it up. Avrae allows you to import DnDBeyond characters, do dice rolls, rules lookups, and even run initiative and combat inside of Discord. Additionally it allows the dice rolls to show up both in Discord and on DnDBeyond's shared dice log.

[barren copper]

Where do you add the +1 AC on dnd beyond from forge cleric?

[uneven lantern]

You can click on your AC, then open the Customize section in the side menu.

[spiral ledge]

Quick question guys, if I DM a campaign can I see ALL the dice rolls? I'm thinking about running a one shot for Halloween and I'd like to see everyone's roll, even if they've set it to private. Ty 😀

[modest pelican]

Yes, the DM can see the rolls of everyone in the game log

[spiral ledge]

Nice 👍🏻 Going to have my kids and a few of they're friends in game so that's handy lol

[native bridge]

Hello all. I am looking to create a relatively complicated character feat in DnDB which essentially acts as a pseudo-class. I believe a custom Feat is the only way to implement this, as the platform does now allow for the selection of multiple Backgrounds, afaik.

My feat is based on a popular third-party supplement. There are four tiers to the feat, each of which offer additional Actions/features based on player selections. For example, at tier one, the feat provides feature X, as well as a choice between features Y or Z.

Is this currently possible in DnDB?

Bonus question: is there a way to have an feat with an charge-based action (similar to Lucky), but defaults to zero charges and manually requires build charges up between short rests?

Alternatively, if there is a way to dynamically allow option selections based on player level (similar to warlock Invocations), I could use that as a workaround for the more-complicated version of the process I spoke of above.

[unreal temple]

Hi all, I recently homebrewed a race in DnD Beyond and made subraces for it. However the website is saying i didn't make any subraces and is instead showing the subraces as seperate races? yet when i go into the parent race it says the subraces are there. Anyone know how to fix this?

[fading bramble]

save?

reload?

[lapis geyser]

It's likely Intro to Stormwreck isn't supported by Maps yet

[dense bison]

can you make a half caster wizard subclass on dndbeyond?

[fading bramble]

wizards are fullcasters... so not sure what you mean by that

[stone halo]

I'm a little confused on something, a while ago I bought my master subscription. I also bought about 4 to 5 source books, a friend of mine made the campaign through D&D beyond and my question is even though I'm not the DM nor the person who has made the campaign. When I still be able to content share whatever I have that I bought?

Or do I have to be strictly the person that made that campaign for it to work?

[lapis geyser]

anyone in the campaign with a master tier can enable content sharing

[dense bison]

basically I want to make my own class that's a half caster but you can't make classes in DDB so I thought I'd make it a Wizard subclass cause they have the least class features to interfere with it but it has to be a half caster

[lapis geyser]

spell progression is baked into the class, so you cant chage when they get more spells or spell slots

[grim hatch]

Hey, so uh

I got disconnected after emptying my browser cache - I can't remember the google account I used to sign up. Should I contact support already ?

[naive lodge]

I'd recommend trying your various accounts first.

[grim hatch]

I'm sorry - I should've specified it.

I can't remember, and for some reason, none of them work ?

Litterally, I have tried all 6 of them.

[naive lodge]

Did you try Twitch and the other login methods?

[soft nexus]

Is it possible to "homebrew" official races/subclasses that you don't own on DnD beyond

[edgy oriole]

Yes. But you may not publish them (e.g. make them available for others to use).

[soft nexus]

Ok cool. I wasn't planning to publish them either.

It's just Ravenloft content

[trail root]

Every time I roll from beyond it rolls 3 times, sometimes more 🤷 any fixes? Been happening a while

[modest pelican]

Are you running any extensions, for example Beyond20 or AboveVTT?

[trail root]

I'm just on my phone on the app

[modest pelican]

I'm not aware of any issue causing multiple rolls

[trail root]

It's been happening a lot and not just to me, but multiple people 🤷

[unreal finch]

okay ive already resized my files properly, reset my cookies, and changed file types, why cant i upload images to my creature creation

[glacial heath]

how do I give my homebrew magic items to my players

and where do I make coustem weapons

[uneven lantern]

If they have homebrew content enabled for their character, they should be able to add it like they would any other item.

[mint bronze]

I have several active campaigns running in D&D Beyond. For the last couple of weeks I've had a problem using the website as soon as I click on one of the campaigns.

That is, I can click on the campaign, and it will show me the various characters, but the entire page is... inert. I can't even click on the search field or any of the menus on the page. The only "action" I can take is to click on the back button.

Other parts of the website appear to work fine for me.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[edgy oriole]

Try disabling any web browser extensions, VPNs, and make sure you’re not blocking 3rd party cookies on the DnDBeyond.com domain.

Also try clearing your browser cache and cookies and restarting your browser.

[uneven lantern]

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

[mint bronze]

Yep. Chrome and Edge, on Mac at home and Windows machine at work.

[uneven lantern]

That probably rules out a local issue, then.

I’d recommend contacting Customer Support.

[tiny maple]

hey so i’m filling out the looking for dm page and i don’t really understand what preferred way to play means

i could just be really dumb

[uneven lantern]

It’s simply to describe what type of game you’re looking for.

The better you communicate your expectations up front, the more likely you’ll be able to find a suitable match.

[scenic grove]

is there a way to give a homebrew weapon attack that little damage type selection drop down like chromatic orb has?

like if I want to be able to choose between a weapon dealing slashing or piercing damage?

[dusty turret]

Does the 40% sale only happen on Sunday or until the end the Sunday

[scenic grove]

the sale goes until sunday. iirc it'll probably end at the begining of sunday though. I could be wrong on that part, but the sale's going on right now.

[stuck charm]

for genie warlock Mystic Arcanum (i was checking something with it) it says you can cast wish, but i don't see it on the Mystic Arcanum list

[scenic grove]

that's an old, well known thing. basically what I was told when I asked way back was that the mystic arcanum dropdowns don't change based on the warlock subclass and basically what they suggest is to homebrew a copy of wish and then to mark that as the arcanum for that level.

[grim hatch]

Is there any way I could add proficiencies to an already existing character sheet, namely, skill proficiencies ?

...Nevermind, found it.

[real path]

I made a hombrew monster and I noticed these inserted (and wrong DCs for attacks and spells. whats up with that? can i get rid of them?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/3911499-tiefling-cultist-level-14-prodigy

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure I'm seeing what's wrong, can you share a screenshot with the incorrect elements highlighted?

[modest pelican]

Are you perhaps running any extensions that modify D&D Beyond, such as Beyond20 or Above VTT?
This is what I'm seeing

[real path]

yeah sorry for that. (it was a DM screen extention)

[modest pelican]

S'all good

[heavy nest]

I like that Curse of Strahd has now been added to the Maps tool, they look really good. Will the Ravenloft Castle maps become available as part of the compendium?

[autumn crown]

Do I need to contact DnD beyond support to delete an account?

[modest pelican]

Yes

[frosty pelican]

Reporting a bug. I bought Tashas way back, just noticed it that whenever I want to create a Circle of Spores Druid at level 3. It doesn't pop up in Choose an Option Tab.

[modest pelican]

That's because you need to enable Magic: the Gathering content as it was first published in Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, an MtG source, and source category is determined by first printed book

[leaden kraken]

The Player Bundle for me is showing up as $95 for me, even though I own the player's handbook. Meaning its currently more expensive than buying the other books individually. My only idea for why is that I own the player's handbook through the Educator Bundle, but I don't know why that doesn't cut the price of bundles when it clearly shows I own the book

Same thing is happening with the other bundles, for example, the Sourcebook bundle shows a $30 decrease even though I own four books

[uneven lantern]

All bundles are decreased by the dollar amount spent on its included content.

If you received a book without spending any dollars, then the amount would not decrease.

(Gift purchases are somewhat of an exception; the person receiving the gift gets credit for the dollar amount spent by the person who purchased the gift.)

If it’s cheaper to buy the books individually, though, then that’s what I’d recommend.

[leaden kraken]

Does it say this somewhere? I've never seen that before. Either way, thanks for that info 👍

[silent fox]

If I entered the digital unlock code from physical pre-order for BoMT, should that show up in my purchase history? Because it isn't.

Disregard, it shows up in my "product license"

[unborn anchor]

Hey, I am trying to make a homebrew item, that will add an extra die to sneak attack, how do I do that? I only see the standard 4 d6 for a level 8

[unborn anchor]

looks like I solved it, not possible with an item and needs to be added as a custom action

[solid kestrel]

Quick question, I assume Hexblade's hex weapon feature is one of the few backend things?
As I couldn't figure out a way to do things like pact weapon, weapon bond, hex weapon, or any similar feature in a subclass builder

[tranquil seal]

Am I going crazy or did selecting Paladin Oath vanish from character creator?

[uneven lantern]

Still there for me. Can you share a screenshot of the issue?

[autumn crown]

I just need to confirm something quick, does sharing content for a campaign also share character portrait frames with players?

It looks like it. But that is not a feature I was aware of 🤣

[modest pelican]

No, character sheet customisation options are not shared

[noble spade]

i just bought the digital player's handbook for dnd beyond, and when i decided to make a warlock it still says that i've only got the fiend patron to choose? do i need to, like, activate the handbook?

[edgy oriole]

It may take 10-15 minutes for things to sync after a purchase.

If it's still not showing make sure core D&D content is toggled on for the character and check https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace and make sure all your entitlements are in sync.

[noble spade]

compendium content bundle is the right one, correct?

[wintry lagoon]

so my dnd beyond app, rolling the dice seems to roll multiple when i tap things like a weapon attack roll. thing is im not setting anything to roll multiple dice. last session we did was a month8sh ago and it was double rolling everything. today, its rolling x 4 ANY roll I've done. does anyone know why, or a fix?

[grand palm]

Has anyone else experienced an issue with the Encounters tool today? I'm just getting a blank page... 😦

[edgy oriole]

We haven't heard any widespread reports of any issues with it today.
Let's try some basic troubleshooting...
