Is mindguard crown a known bug with the saves? It is supposed to give cha, int, and wis saves, but beyond is only showing adv on int saves when attuned.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/110433328

[modest pelican]

It's showing all of them for me

[prime quiver]

Odd. Will try to refresh’s

[modest pelican]

That's a different area of the sheet that can only display a finite amount of information

[prime quiver]

Oh fair

[prime quiver]

Ah yes I see it now. My apologies, if I click the saving throws

[modest pelican]

No need to apologise, I agree that maybe there could be some better messaging to show there's overflow information

[coral barn]

I've mentioned in the past (here and on the forum) that the char sheet on ddb doesn't account for unarmed fighting style (with the dice) under my bonus Unarmed Strike or Astral Arms. The solution was to make custom attacks, which is fine. But now I have an attunement that gives me + to my Hit/DC, and that isn't accounted for under my custom actions.

As far a I understand that is not possible under custom actions, but is there a work around?

[modest pelican]

You will have to manually adjust the custom action, or make a second one that includes the bonus

[coral barn]

I swore I couldn't, you just said it so I looked at it right there. 🤦‍♂️ I thought you couldnt adjust the hit/dc.

I'm blind.

[daring stump]

So I'm making a custom homebrew subclass for paladin and I'm trying to give them oath spells and I can't seem to find out where to put it.

I put it under Additional Specific Spells but they arnt showing up on the character sheet

[uneven lantern]

That should be the right place to put them. Did you add them in at the start, or edit them in later?

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

[hallow viper]

players can't access all the content I even have with sharing on? what is going on?

[uneven lantern]

What’s one specific thing they’re unable to access?

[novel roost]

Ok whenever I try and use D&D beyond it brings up the Monodrome are you a robot screen

I have allowed Cookies and stuff but it does not stop showing up

And whenever I hold the Button it gliches out and asks me to do it again

I have a session in under an hour and I gotta finish these statblocks

(I use Opra GX as a browser if that matters)

[uneven lantern]

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

[novel roost]

Yes just Tried Google and the same thing happens

It only happens after like a couple minutes of use

[uneven lantern]

Can you try Incognito Mode in Chrome?

[novel roost]

It not loading past the google sign in alert

Its just white

[daring stump]

Sorry I just now got back home. I added them weeks ago.

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend trying it on another device, then.

If it works there, it's probably a local issue on your device -- possibly a VPN or security software installed there.

If not, you may want to contact customer support to have them check under the hood.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character? What spells were you expecting to see that aren't there?

[hollow bronze]

my question might seem stupid but on the interactive characters sheet on paladin how does smite work exactly ?

after using an action how do i roll the smite damage?

[uneven lantern]

For that one, it’s easiest just to hit the dice button in the bottom corner and select however many d8s you need.

But if you really want an all-in-one solution, you could set it up as a homebrew spell.

[hollow bronze]

oooooh wait 2 means the number of d8s? im new so i didn't know that

thanks ❤️

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

But since the number of d8s you need varies based on the spell slot used and whether you’re facing a fiend or undead, there’d be a whole lot of clutter to try and display every possible roll.

[hollow bronze]

i was relying on the automatic features lol

on level1 one it's a 2d8 right?

and it goes up by one each spell level?

[solid kestrel]

For a first level spell slot, it's 2d8, and gains a d8 for every slot level above 1st, and caps out at something like 5d8

[swift bane]

Did something change with the homebrew tools? I can't make copies of my homebrew subclasses.

[pine mango]

Is there any way to import the stuff I bought through dnd beyond to roll20?

[modest pelican]

nope

two entirely different companies/platforms/marketplaces/product licenses

[pine mango]

Right. Tracks.

[plain flicker]

Hi friends, in my campaign there is a very renowned paladin order that our paladin has joined. the order schools its members specifically in fighting against fiends and abberations that threaten the region. I want to crate a feat that gives +1 Charisma (for the renown) and advantage on Nature and Arcana checks regarding weaknesses of Fiends and Abberations. On DnDBeyond is is easy to create a Feat, give it +1 Charisma. I also added Modifiers for Advantage Nature and Arcana and commented with 'regarding finding out weakness of Fiends or Abberations. - but the second part doesn't show up anywhere. Does anyone know how to do this?

[modest pelican]

The second part being the "regarding finding out...." or the advantages in general?

[plain flicker]

not advantate in general. i would like it to show up like it does for elves/half-elves regarding charmed/magic sleep

[modest pelican]

It won't display like that because that display is for saving throws, not ability checks

For ability checks, it'll show up in the sidebar when you click the skill

For example, this is how it displays for Blood Hunter

[plain flicker]

it does not for me. do I have to custamize the skill or can I do that via the feat?

[modest pelican]

1 second

[plain flicker]

this is what I did in the feat

[modest pelican]

Works for me

You have to make sure you've put it under the Details section

[plain flicker]

don't know why, but it doesn't work for me.

okay, I know what the problem was: Feats seem not to be updated like homebrew magic items

[modest pelican]

I was gonna ask if that's what it might be

[plain flicker]

after deleting the feat and readding it it worked

[wraith pendant]

Is there a way to make my homebrew item boost only sorcerer's spellcasting, regardless of if there're other classes in the build?

[modest pelican]

Not currently, no

[wintry sleet]

Is there a way to add additional spells to the warlock arcanum list? I tried adding an expanded spell list to the background and it works for spells I have pact slots for just fine, but not the arcanum dropdowns

[modest pelican]

There is not, you can't modify base class features on D&D Beyond

You would need to use a workaround such as a feat or magic item

[wintry sleet]

ok ty

[uneven lantern]

I'm discussing this one with the devs. Are you using iOS or Android? If you remove the book and redownload, does it fix the issue?

[gilded hatch]

iOS 17.2.1

I will try to delete and download again. Brb

[gilded hatch]

Deleting did not help.

[uneven lantern]

I'll let them know. Thanks!

[terse burrow]

Does anyone now where I can find good free maps that work on dnd beyond? If you do @ me.

[modest pelican]

@terse burrow Wrong channel, this channel is for getting support on using D&D Beyond. You want #dm-discussion

[terse burrow]

My bad

[small dew]

okay so

im designing a character, and my original idea was to be an echo knight, but that is not available. Do i have to purchase this?

[green vault]

you can buy it in the explores guild to wildemount book

[small dew]

sigh

i have no money :/

but thank you

[hoary linden]

When equipping a shield as a druid4/monk1 with unarmored defense, it still gives +2 AC and the +5 from unarmored defense aswell as the +2 from the shield.
Is this just honor based or should it automatically update

[timid scroll]

It technically should automatically update. But I don't think the app has been configured 100% perfectly. You will occasionally run into things like this. It's up to you to make sure it's working right and adjust your character and equipmunk accordingly

How do you add tools/kits/instruments, etc to a homebrew background like this?

When I create a new skill proficiency, all I can see are skills. No gaming sets or anything of the like. Even when I click to edit the Gaming Set in the screenshot above, it goes blank.

[hoary linden]

Ah, that seems clear. Thanks.

[hollow bronze]

does dnd beyond have a browsing feature for homebrew stuff?

i can't seem to find it

[solid kestrel]

It does, just look in the Collections tab

[ebon tapir]

Did they stop individual itemized purchasing?

Like I can't just buy one magic item, I have to buy the whole book?

[uneven lantern]

Individual items are not available for purchase on Book of Many Things. This will not affect your previous purchases. You will still be able to make a la carte purchases for all products that have always had a la carte purchasing.

[humble field]

looking for help with a homebrew i am trying to make in dndbeyond, would i ask that here or in the tinkering section?

[ruby pivot]

Is there a way to get my homebrew character (Ademar Coldbane) to appear like the Cultist does in the notes section? When I hover over the cultist, it gives me a brief description of the monster, and I'd like to have my homebrew character have the same function

Nevermind. I took a look at another forum and it said it's not possible. Maybe I can make my character more like a pre-existing monster and just use the ";" to name my character

[daring stump]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/114264966/JvJe0I

He should have the following as his Oath spells: Charm Person,Charm Monster,Compulsion,Enthrall,Faerie Fire,Hypnotic PAttern,Major Image,Modify Memory,Phantasmal force,synaptic static

[uneven lantern]

You haven’t chosen a subclass.

[daring stump]

One moment, im running this in a CoS game so had to take him down to one again

Sweet its there now, idk what I did but it shows up lol

[uneven lantern]

As long as it works.

[daring stump]

Exactly lol

[arctic lava]

Can some one help.. when I'm putting in a charisma ability in dnd beyond it comes as a 1 ????

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character so a mod can have a look?

[arctic lava]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters

My max HP should be 52

[modest pelican]

That's not a link to the character

That'a a link to the characters page

[arctic lava]

Thought that's what it was

[modest pelican]

That's the page that lists all your characters (or when I open it, all my characters)

I was asking for a link to the character you're having issues with specifically

[arctic lava]

Might have to put that in later.. I'm on my phone and at work

Is this the best place to get support for D&D Beyond?

For some reason my Master level subscription ended today and I get a server error when I try to manage it

[modest pelican]

You'll need to contact customer support for that

[loud sedge]

Contacting Customer Support

If you have an issue with D&D Beyond purchases or subscriptions, you may need to contact customer support. To do so, please go to http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket and submit a ticket.

Important

1. You will need to make an account for the support ticket system. This is not your D&D Beyond account.
2. Tickets are responded to in the order they are received and response times depend on how busy the support team is.
3. Tickets are grouped by user based on the most recent ticket. Do not submit multiple tickets for the same issue. This will push you down the queue
4. The customer support team is active Monday-Friday and work US hours. This means you may not get a response based on your local timezone or weekends.

[tacit niche]

on dnd beyond i want to make a path of totem warrior barbarian but when i open the dropdown it only shows me path of beserker. Also, when i try to enable a feat it only shows me grappler when i have available many other feats. Whats going on

[uneven lantern]

Did you purchase those other things yourself, or are they being shared with you through a campaign?

[tacit niche]

i havent bought anything

[uneven lantern]

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

[tacit niche]

ok i see

[uneven lantern]

You could buy that path by itself if that’s all you want.

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

And then you’d be able to use it anywhere.

[graceful belfry]

Why can't I see my subscription under the My Subscription tab? I'm constantly getting offers to subscribe, and under that tab is just the tiers like I haven't been subscribed to Master Tier for years

Seeking help with this, please

[prime quiver]

Weird question...is there a way to highlight and then copy/paste all of the race list names on beyond? I need to paste the list into a spreadsheet so I can check off that I have one character of each, including sub races

[modest pelican]

No, there's no way of doing that

You'll just have to make a list manually

[nocturne flicker]

Dndbeyond is saying "HTTP ERROR 500"
any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

Weird question...is there a way to

[uneven lantern]

Where does it say that?

When does it say that?

[nocturne flicker]

In my Google Chrome browser when I try to load the site. Just cleared it cache and cookies thinking that would help, but it's still doing it

[modest pelican]

Where as in what part of the site? The homepage, my characters, my profile etc

[nocturne flicker]

Homepage dndbeyond.com

[modest pelican]

It's loading fine for me

[uneven lantern]

Working fine on my end, too, in both Chrome and Firefox.

Did you get the same issue on another browser or another device?

[modest pelican]

That would suggest either

1. A local node issue
2. A browser issue (possibly a bad cached version of the site that's conflicting with the data the server is trying to send)
3. A data transfer issue (which can be caused by ISPs, extensions, ad blockers, anti virus, VPN etc)

[nocturne flicker]

Ok, when I cleared all my data and went back, it was fine. Then the instant I tried to sign in to my account it started giving me the error again

[uneven lantern]

Do get the same issue in another browser, or another device?

[nocturne flicker]

Tried another browser same issue

[uneven lantern]

And only while signed in?

[nocturne flicker]

Correct

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend trying another device, still, too.

If you get the same issue there, your best option is to contact customer support.

If not, then it must be something related to your computer.

Possibly security software or something network-related.

[nocturne flicker]

Chrome didn't work
Samsung internet didn't work
Firefox worked though
Using the exact same sign in method.
Any idea what that's all about?

[modest pelican]

If you get the same issue there, your best option is to contact customer support.

[uneven lantern]

If it's inconsistent across browsers/devices, that does suggest it's a local issue.

Does it happen in Chrome's Incognito mode? That's the last thing I can think to try regarding the browser itself.

[nocturne flicker]

It worked in incognito mode strangely enough

[uneven lantern]

I'd suggest disabling all your extensions, then, and trying again.

If that works, you can re-enable those one by one to find the culprit.

[nocturne flicker]

I will give that a shot next break. Thank you 😊

[ripe kestrel]

I am also getting intermittent 500 errors on the dndbeyond homepage. I can sometimes get it to work fine and it not working within the same browser.

[summer fog]

What's the word on WOTC's Chains of Asmodeus coming to dndbeyond? Has there been any announcement of that?

[modest pelican]

No, there's been no announcement

[uneven lantern]

FWIW, they did just release a print option on DMsGuild.

So it's clearly something they've continued working on.

But whether there's future plans for it still is anyone's guess.

[dire blade]

It's exciting that they did that. I'll second the support for seeing it on DNDB at some point. Would happily pick it up here!

[uneven lantern]

And on DDB, we did get a late release for... whatever that Feywild one was called.

Domains of Delight?

So it's not out of the realm of possibility that they'd bring an older title over after release.

[dire blade]

Domains of Delight, yes, which suggests that we might someday see Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy and Chains of Asmodeus.

[modest pulsar]

Hi folks, I'd like to add Thorn Whip to a homebrew item, but it isn't available in the list of spells.. What gives? Or am I stupid? 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased that spell?

[modest pulsar]

Ah so because I can see the players handbook via a shared resource from a campaign I'm in with a friend, it fooled me into thinking the handbook was free/I owned it. But I don't and so it cant be added.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, shared character options are only usable inside the campaign that’s sharing them.

Since the homebrew system doesn’t belong to any campaign, that means it uses your own content only.

[modest pulsar]

Bought the spells pack for that module on it's own 🙂 Thanks for the advice

[nova pond]

heya guys i have a homebrewed class which in turn has it own spells. is there anyway to add meta tags to the spell to desiginate the class it is for and what custom "school" it belongs to?

[trail stag]

Hey y’all how do I make a campaign on ddb

Thank you!

[heavy osprey]

Looks like DnD Beyond is broken again. It says they can’t process my membership payment, even though nothing changed on my side. When I go in to fix it, the only option is to cancel. I submitted a ticket but with my game coming up and no access to my characters. This is very bad.

[modest pelican]

If you've already raised a ticket, that's not much else we can offer in terms of support here

[crystal scaffold]

Hi - I am having the same issue with my subscription. what should I do?

[edgy oriole]

Please create a customer support ticket: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[crystal scaffold]

What is the issue?

[modest pelican]

That's not something we have the answer to, we're moderators, not devs or customer support

[old cloud]

A heads-up for anyone who uses the DDB app on iPhone/iPad: the sounds don’t work if you have installed the latest 17.4 beta of iOS. It’s likely a codec issue; the sound is fine on Safari and Chrome on my Mac desktop.

I did submit a customer support ticket, just letting folks know here in case they experience the bug.

[bright needle]

Hi, I’m trying to export a character sheet to pdf but it’s not reflecting what I have equipped. For instance, it says in D&D Beyond that I have a heavy crossbow (and other weapons), leather armor, and a shield equipped (resulting in AC 16), but the pdf shows only unarmed attacks and AC 13. Could you please assist?

[uneven lantern]

PDFs get cached for a short while after you open it.

So if you open it, then make a bunch of changes and quickly open it again, you’ll still be seeing what it showed the first time.

If you just wait a few minutes, it should fix itself.

[bright needle]

I’ll try, thanks!

[prime quiver]

Hey….i’m a recurring hero tier member, have been for year+.

Suddenly found out today that it said my subscription had expired. I can PM a staff member my email or any other relevant info. My credit card still works. Unsure what the issue may be.

[prime quiver]

I think the same thing is happening to me. Credit card still works, auto payment, it says my sub expired. It was working as of Thursday morning

Have they been able to help you?

[heavy osprey]

No; but, I cancelled my subscription and redid it. For the moment it’s worth. I downloaded pdf of my active character sheets to be safe

[prime quiver]

Oof ok. I have 80 characters. If I cancel my subscription, do they poof or what?

[naive lodge]

You will need to submit a ticket to support, as Davyd said above we're not devs/support we are moderators.

[wispy horizon]

I chose abberant mind sorcerer, but the psionic spells are not showing up in my list of spells, is this a bug with ddb?

[uneven lantern]

None of the 1st-level spells are in the Basic Rules. Have you purchased those spells, or are they being shared with you through that character's campaign?

[wispy horizon]

I'm using a shared campaign.

[timid scroll]

Is there a way to add an image/portrait to a custom class?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond doesn't support custom classes. But assuming you mean subclass, no, it's not possible

[uneven lantern]

Does someone in that campaign own those spells? Is Content Sharing enabled for that campaign?

[timid scroll]

Is there a way to share homebrew content with my friends who aren't in the same campaign as me?

Like, since I'm more familiar with the app than them, my friends are asking me to make a couple homebrew items for them. How do I then get those items to them?

[timid scroll]

Anybody know why the dex mod is blue?

[lapis geyser]

this means it has been customized i believe

[lapis geyser]

your private homebrew is only shared in campaigns you are in. unless im mistaken, you dont need content sharing enabled to share it though

[edgy oriole]

This is correct - everyone's homebrew in a campaign is automatically available and does not need to be published (e.g. made public for everyone to access). In fact we'd recommend not publishing any homebrew until it's been playtested and you feel comfortable releasing it to the world to use. Once published homebrew can not be unpublished.

[edgy oriole]

This is correct - blue text means someone has manually overridden/modified the ability/modifier.

[timid scroll]

Ok, ty. I removed the +0 is the override section. lol

[timid scroll]

How does Spell Scroll (1st Level) work in DDB? Do I get to pick whatever spell I want? If so, how do I add that spell to the item?

[edgy oriole]

The DM would decide what type of spell scroll you get - there are no mechanics for it in DnDBeyond other then listing that you have said spell scroll.

[timid scroll]

DM specified it is a spell of my choice! 🙂 So might it be better just to homebrew a Scroll of Hex or something?

[edgy oriole]

Then in that case create a copy of the spell scroll at the appropriate level and attach the specific spell you want to it (or see if such a scroll item already exists). No need to publish it - all homebrew is usable without publishing (publishing makes it accessible to everyone whereas unpublished homebrew can be used by you and folks in the same DnDBeyond campaign).

[timid scroll]

Sweet, ty.

[timid scroll]

My DM gave me a spell scroll (Hex), but I'm a fighter. Still, it was a special reward and the DM is giving my character proficiency with this scroll only. As a fighter, DDB doesn't give me a spells section on my character sheet. How do I add the Hex spell to my character sheet so I can see what it is and how it works from my character sheet?

[balmy venture]

You could use the DBD Homebrew tools to create a homebrew feat that grants a character with the feat, the ability to cast the hex spell 1/long rest. Then add said feat with the button at the bottom of the Features & Traits section

A much easier solution is to simply keep track of it in the notes section of your sheet

[timid scroll]

Ok, yeah. I'll just copy/paste the Hex spell text to notes. I dabbled in that homebrew stuff and it's a bit tricksy.

[fluid shoal]

Hi all, Need some help with changing the Reach on a weapon in D&DB, i've tried
modifiers Weapon Property - Reach , fixed 15 but its not work , please help

[modest pelican]

You can't modify base weapon properties, your best bet would be to make a custom action

[fluid shoal]

Cheers 🙂

[timid scroll]

How do I homebrew a mundane item? All I can find is "Create Magic Item"

[modest pelican]

You can't, but you can make custom items on your character sheet

[timid scroll]

I've been playing with this, but it's not working the way I need it to. I'm homebrewing up some custom arrows that my DM approved. Like arrows with small vials of holy water, that, due to their weight, get a -2 to attack and only 50% of their normal range.

[modest pelican]

Okay, well you'd also need to make a custom action for that

[timid scroll]

Ok, I wouldn't mind playing with that. Will that allow me to customize attack and range?

[modest pelican]

You don't need to ping me every time

And yes, you can set custom ranges and to hit bonuses

[timid scroll]

Ok, sweet! thx!

[timid scroll]

So far, this is working and is what I was looking for. However, how do I do 2 damage types on 1 action? For example, those holy water arrows I mentioned before will do regular arrow damage (1d8+dex+prof piercing) + 2d4 radiant vs fiend/undead

[modest pelican]

You can't, character sheet dice rolls don't support multiple dice expressions. Instead you'll just have to note it in the actions description

[timid scroll]

Very well

[bronze tartan]

Hey, can someone help me? Im trying to set up dnd beyond on my phone and i have a few questions

[modest pelican]

It's easier if you just ask the questions and then people who can help will

[bronze tartan]

Well, i am messing around with the encounters, and the campaings, i added an encounter, but i can only throw for the monsters on the PC, and not on my phone, i wanna set it up, so that i can roll for the monsters, using my phone, idk if its possible

[modest pelican]

When you say using your phone, do you mean using the mobile site or the mobile app

[bronze tartan]

mobile app

[modest pelican]

The encounters tool is not integrated into the app

You can roll from character sheets, but that's it

[bronze tartan]

Oh, i get it.
But i can use the site version on my phone i guess?

Or i maybe should get a laptop

[modest pelican]

You can use the encounters tool on mobile

[bronze tartan]

Ahha
Its kind of a mess now.

But i guess i should get another player, im just trying to figure out the basics before getting togethet with my friends

[naive lodge]

Encounters is not in full release yet.

[timid scroll]

How do I adjust the attack bonus on a custom action?

[proud parrot]

Can't chose subclass on mobile

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character builder?

[proud parrot]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/117669124/builder/class/manage

[modest pelican]

By any chance did you make this character in a campaign with content sharing and then remove them from the campaig before level 3?

[proud parrot]

Its a copied character

It was working yesterday

[modest pelican]

It's working for me which suggests the issue is with your content access

Do you own the artificer class content?

[proud parrot]

Nope but it was working before

Plus subclass is the only thing I can't change

I can change infusions

[modest pelican]

That would be expected if the content was no longer shared with you#

[timid scroll]

Is there a way to adjust attack bonus on a custom action or non-magic item?

[queen burrow]

please help im just trying to make a homebrew spell and it wont let me in increece the damage dice when up casting

[modest pelican]

Have you tried copying an existing spell with that functionality, say fireball, and then copying how that works?

[queen burrow]

quite literally exactly what I did I looekd up fire ball and did that

[modest pelican]

So what issue are you having specifically?

[queen burrow]

my 1st level spell dose 3d6 force damage and i want it to increce by 2d6 force damage by up casting it beyond second level

[modest pelican]

I get what you're intending to happen, but what actually happens on the character sheet?

[queen burrow]

it decreased the damage to 2d6

[modest pelican]

What have you set in your modifiers?

[queen burrow]

its no worries it alright il try and figure it out I apricate the help but in the moment i was frustrated and i will try and find a solution

[modest pelican]

I'm trying to assist, if the base damage is wrong that suggests the modfiers field is off

[queen burrow]

i figure as much but i dont know where that is

[modest pelican]

It's in your screenshot

Two sections above At High Levels

[queen burrow]

i see

[modest pelican]

In that section you should enter your base damage

can you share a screenshot? This is what it should look like for fireball

[modest pelican]

Can you link me to a character that's had this spell added?

[queen burrow]

i just deleted them i knew something was wrong and it takes a while for the character sheet to update with new info from homebrew content so i delete then and make new ones as there is no faster way to refresh it I do apricate all the help but i would rather just try start from scratch and attempt this another day

[modest pelican]

ok ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Good luck for the next attempt, hope it works

[queen burrow]

thank you very much i do apricate if it is still apearing should i message back in here?

[modest pelican]

thank you

[dull ruin]

Hey, I’m new to D&D beyond and am about to DM a new adventure. I have master tier and am trying to share my maps with players. They don’t have subscription so when they click on link, they are asked for subscription. What am I doing wrong?

[timid scroll]

What is your "Higher Level Scaling Type" set to?

It needs to be set to "Spell Scale"

[timid scroll]

Have you already invited them to your campaign? And have they joined it?

I'm having great difficulty creating custom gear (not magical items). If I create one from scratch, I can't customize the cost and weight. If I customize an existing item, I can't change the description. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this part of DDB just severly lacking?

[dull ruin]

Yes. It appears to have been sign in related. Maps needed to be signed in first then click the link

Thanks for your help

[timid scroll]

Glad you figured it out!

[tight cargo]

My dndbeyond map has a crash error not allowing me or my team to play, how can i fix this?

[gaunt pine]

Found a bug. Customized spells dont keep their customizations (names) when unprepared. Heck, or even when the browser is closed and reopened.

[uneven lantern]

Seems to work fine on my sheet.

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

[gaunt pine]

Yes I tested it on my phone too

im trying to work out what exactly is happening. the ones that are prepared will keep their custom names when i close the browser/refresh the page/restart my pc. but the spells that have a custom name but are not prepared lose any customizations when i do those things

stupid question, but are customizations tied to cookies at all?

i just renamed every single spell. logged out. logged back in. all are reset except for the ones that are prepared.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t know. I just logged out and back in, too, but the two spells I was checking (one prepared and one not) both kept their custom names.

[gaunt pine]

do you know how i can reprompt the cookie pop up? im gonna try turning them all on

[uneven lantern]

Ironically, your cookie preferences are by necessity saved as a cookie.

One called CookieConsent.

So removing that cookie (or clearing your cookies entirely) should do the trick.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/cookies

[gaunt pine]

ok it wasnt the cookie thing. im noticing though that they are keeping the customizations upon refresh, page close, etc., but will lose them once i customize an additional group of spells

because you can only customize what you have prepared. (i customize 4, unprepare them, prepare 4 more, then customize the new 4. once i customize the new 4, the old 4 lose their edits)

this is on a cleric btw

[gaunt pine]

problem has not been fixed after 2 hours of trying things. the truth is that customizations just dont stick. and ive found threads in the forums confirming its not just me.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share those threads here?

[soft field]

im trying to program a homebrew in DDB its a cleric. trying to make it so that when they use the Channel divinity. the action pulls from the CD resources in avarae?

[uneven lantern]

That’s something you’d have to automate in Avrae regardless.

[soft field]

okay second question then

one of the channel divinities is to do 2d8+wisdom in healing. but currently programing the action type looks like it would do 2d8 damage instead? is there away to make a healing action in dndb?

[uneven lantern]

Not really, no.

But this is all pretty simple in Avrae itself.

[shrewd rock]

I haven't logged into my D&DBeyond account in a while.
So I tried logging in but it says I don't have an account.
Did they purge accounts recently or something?

[uneven lantern]

I highly doubt it, but that’s not something anyone in here could really answer.

[shrewd rock]

yeah. Thought I'd ask first

[shrewd rock]

Well, I got into my account.
But is something wrong with the site, specifically with the character creator?

I rolled 6 straight 18s

yeah. everything is rolling maxed dice

[uneven lantern]

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

[shrewd rock]

I do not have the same issue on mobile. Haven't tried another browser.

Only other browser doesn't work for some reason.
But I'm using Firefox

API question. Is there a user equivalent to the character stuff that's available? (ie https://character-service.dndbeyond.com/character/v5/character/117483919 ) I'm hoping to see a list of all of my characters so I don't have to keep track of them manually.

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond has no official, public facing, supported API for any of its services

[wispy horizon]

Is there a way to get UA content in ddb?

[lone void]

No, they stopped supporting it a few years ago

[uneven lantern]

You can sometimes add them using the homebrew system, but it depends on what you're after.

[atomic pecan]

What’s an easy way to add or modify a spell. I have a divine soul sorcerer and want to change my divine magic spell (allowed per RAW) but can’t figure out how to easily do it. I don’t have a subscription or anything but am borrowing books from our DM/group.

[wispy horizon]

Wanted to have the mystic class but looks like you can't use homebrew classes only subclasses

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that one's sadly a no-go.

[uneven lantern]

The only way to change it at the moment is to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and change it there. (You could then set it to let you choose a spell in the character builder instead.)

[wispy horizon]

I guess the only way to do it would be to print out a character sheet and do it manually

[ionic pilot]

Hi everyone. I have a few beyond questions. I am not new to playing dnd, new to 5.e though, and have a few questions about beyond. How many of the books are vital to own if one wants to run a game? Do people on here share the books/content they own? I hope this is the right place to ask.

[modest pelican]

That's not really a support question, you want #dnd-discussion

[ionic pilot]

Oh, my bad. Ty

shall I delete my question here?

[fading wave]

can you view messages from the app?

[modest pelican]

No, none of the forum/community features are present in the app

[rugged pilot]

in DnDB, I'm looking at the Sword Coast Adventurers Guide, and apparently can read it. Is the benefit of buying this to be able to use it in character creation? What is the difference between the physical copy and the digital copy? (cause I don't see PDF options and I own several books in DnDB already)

[timid scroll]

Yes, the benefit of buying it is to be able to use its content in DDB. If you don't buy it, you won't have access to any of its content. There is no fundamental difference between physical or digital except that the physical copy doesn't unlock the content on your DDB account.

[uneven lantern]

If you can read it but never bought it yourself, then it's probably being shared with you through one of your campaigns.

Shared character options are only available for characters inside the campaign that's sharing it.

If you purchased it yourself, you'd be able to use it anywhere on the site, and you'd retain access if that campaign's content sharing ends.

[rugged pilot]

all digital content is basically just searchable on the website, there is no page flipping correct?

Do if I get Shadow of the Dragon Queen, does it come with the specifics of encounters and such, that do not appear to show up in the "Table of Contents"

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean by "page flipping"?

[rugged pilot]

ignore that question, second one is kinda where i'm going

[uneven lantern]

The content in the digital and physical books are the same.

So if you bought the digital Shadow of the Dragon Queen, you'd get the full adventure as if you'd bought the physical book.

Plus you'd be able to use any character options or monsters elsewhere on the site.

[rugged pilot]

i'm trying to figure out what I would get outside of being able to see the book contents before I buy

I don't think i can see any "maps"

[uneven lantern]

That's just referring to the game rules and maps and stuff within the book.

[rugged pilot]

assuming this is shared content and not something due to my mastery sub

i guess i can just drop the money and see

[uneven lantern]

But you'd be able to use those maps in the Maps tool, if you have a Master Tier subscription.

[rugged pilot]

right now I run a VTT in foundry with a custom campaign in Mystara... yes I'm that old. lol

ahh probably need to look at hte map tools then

[timid scroll]

Alright, how do I get the Ammunition property? It shows up when adding items to my inventory, but when I try to copy the item, it's nowhere to be found. What gives?

[uneven lantern]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/games

[ionic pilot]

I have a question. If I gift my friend some individual content, does it make their book purchases cheaper/ the big bundles?

I hope that came out right. IfI used the wrong words, I'm sorry.

[edgy oriole]

That is correct - the gifted person will receive all the benefits as if they had made the purchase themselves.

[ionic pilot]

Ty!

[timid scroll]

I read somewhere that if you make smaller purchases from a source, it makes that source cheaper. For example, if you bought all the races from Eberron separately, then it would discount the rest of Eberron. I can't find where I read this to confirm, so there's a chance I'm wrong, but I definitely did read it somewhere on DDB website. I don't know how much the source material is discounted either.

[edgy oriole]

Every individual item purchase from a book discounts that book by that amount (to a minimum of 2.99 USD I believe)

[ionic pilot]

Ty.

Ok, one question. A friend and I are going to do a few campaigns, one withm y friend dming, two with me. If we both have content, either full books, or invividual connet each, and we ebable sharing, could both of us the combined content for dming, encounters, ect?

I hope that came out right, and I used the right words.

[edgy oriole]

If content sharing is enabled on a DnDBeyond campaign (to enable content sharing, one person in the campaign must have a Master Tier subscription) all content owned by everyone in the campaign is shared among everyone. The DM can lock down the book text content though (so players can’t read the adventure spoilers) but all the character content would be available for use.

[ionic pilot]

Ok, so I have the master, so that would work. My friend coudl say make a centaur if i own the centaur race, and could use the centaur in their game? Or would they need to be master as well? Also, if i have a question about the content of the book, do I ask it here?

[silk sundial]

I made a ticket about my issue, but I have yet to hear back from dnd support. I am wondering if it is possible to call a representative

[ionic pilot]

Sorry for the questions @edgy oriole and mayeb not posting in the correct place.

[edgy oriole]

No this is the right place!

[ionic pilot]

Was that for me or Phantom?

[silk sundial]

u i think

[ionic pilot]

Ok, ty. 🙂

[silk sundial]

I just want a support line to call because I made a mistake with purchasing a source book. I meant to buy it for a friend and I had it on the self option without me realizing it.

[ionic pilot]

I hope it works out for you Phantom. 🙂

[silk sundial]

Thank you. Do you know if there is one available to contact?

[ionic pilot]

Yeah tickets will get responded to usually within 2-3 business days but may take longer potentially. Just be patient and it will be responded to. You can check here to see if there’s a phone number: https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us

[silk sundial]

I appreciate it

[ionic pilot]

Do two people need to be master subcribers to share? Like if one wanted to dm a game, and the other wanted to dm another game with both of them, can they both use what the other has, or do they both need to be masters?

[uneven lantern]

Any Master Tier subscriber can enable Content Sharing for a campaign, regardless of whether they’re a player or the DM.

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

[ionic pilot]

Ok ty. 🙂

[covert pebble]

with making a race, specifically the features, how do I make it so it changes natural AC?

[steel shore]

Question please: (DnD Beyond) When I click the "short rest" button, there is a checkbox that says "Reset Maximum HP changes during this rest." and it's unchecked by default. This sounds more like a long rest to me... what is that button for and should I check it?

[lapis geyser]

if you have an effect that has changed your Max HP, checking that will reset it to what it was default. check it if the effect says it lasts untill the type of rest you are taking

[steel shore]

Okay. Thanks so much for the explanation.

[covert pebble]

Ok, so I'm tryna buy the Spelljammer module book, but it wont work for some reason. I checked, and when converted to NZD, I still have enough money to buy it

[uneven lantern]

In what way does it not work?

[covert pebble]

I put in all my info and stuff, then I press the button to buy the thing, loads for a bit, then just says there's a problem with my transaction and that's it

Correction, it says "There was an error completing the transaction."

[uneven lantern]

No error code or anything?

[covert pebble]

nothing. That's it

[uneven lantern]

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

[covert pebble]

I haven't tried on either

I've only had this issue once and that was because I didn't have enough money, but I checked, and rn I do have the money to get it

[uneven lantern]

I'd suggest giving it a try, just to rule out any potential local issues.

If that still doesn't work, your best bet is to contact customer support.

[odd gull]

I can't see the characters I've made on the DND beyond app does anyone know how to fix this

[timid scroll]

how do i add modifiers to the DDB dice roller? so i can roll something like 1d8+4 + 2d4?

[edgy oriole]

You manually add it and tell the DM? DnDBeyond, while it does do a lot of things for you, is not a replacement for humans actually playing the game together and sometimes this includes things that may be noted on a sheet but do not actually have a dice roll functionality automatically created for it. Sometimes you just need to do the rolls manually and calculate things on your own just like a regular paper character sheet.

[uneven lantern]

Are you signed into the same account?

[odd gull]

i fixed it ty

[grim oriole]

I am curious as I have done it before but can't remember how. How would one expand class features through homebrew.

[modest pelican]

You can't modify base classes, only subclasses

[grim oriole]

So no way to do a feat to replace a class feature?

[modest pelican]

Nope

[grim oriole]

Trying to create a feat, however it is not letting me add modification.

[modest pelican]

You'll need to save it first

Then you'll be able to add modifiers

[grim oriole]

I have. Unfortunately it is still not even showing the button to add a mod. It shows the button for everything else but that. I'm on my phone so that if that is the issue.

[grim oriole]

For reference of what I mean

[vital gazelle]

Heya, when attuning to any of the Armor of Safeguarding items on DDB, the HP maximum doesn't increase on my character sheet. I'd assume it'd do the adjustments automatically, unless I am suppose to manually do the changes myself.

[uneven lantern]

Try turning your phone sideways.

[grim oriole]

Didn't work

[cunning seal]

I remember seeing an option to purchase individual backgrounds, races, etc.
how is this done, I can't find it anymore

[uneven lantern]

Head to the marketplace and open whichever book contains the thing you want. You’ll find the option inside.

[cunning seal]

thank you so much, I hate it because I found this out RIGHT as you replied lmao

[fickle prism]

Can players other then the dm share content in there campaigns

[pliant veldt]

No.

[uneven lantern]

Yes, they can.

Anyone with a Master Tier subscription can enable Content Sharing for a campaign.

And once it’s enabled, everyone’s purchased game content gets shared with everyone else.

[wicked zinc]

I am trying to create a race that has a choose skill option that is limited to Athletics, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, Survival, Or Stealth but I am struggling to find a way of doing this

How would I if it is possible? also is this the right spot to ask?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll probably need to set them up as Options.

Set each choice up as a separate Option. Inside, add a modifier for the matching proficiency.

You might also need to find a box in your racial feature called Character Levels Where Options Known.

Assuming they choose only one proficiency at level 1, putting a 1 there should do the trick.

[wicked zinc]

okay, what if I wanted them to be able to chose 2 of those options

Would I set up 2 different traits that effectively do the same thing?

[uneven lantern]

Both at level 1?

Then you’d put 1,1 in that box instead.

[wicked zinc]

oh nice thank you

also yes at level 1

[timid scroll]

Does this include homebrew content?

[uneven lantern]

Anything in your My Homebrew Collection is shared with your campaign automatically, whether Content Sharing is enabled or not.

(New homebrew creations are added to your collection automatically.)

[timid scroll]

But only if I have Master tier?

[uneven lantern]

Either subscription allows you to add publicly-shared homebrew to your collection (which can then be shared with your campaign).

Whether you have a subscription or not, any homebrew you create yourself is shared with your campaigns by default.

[civic depot]

Hi there - can you please explain the difference between purchasing the Players Handbook $29.99 and the English Content Compendium $19.99?

[uneven lantern]

The compendium lets you read the book in full. It does not let you access its contents anywhere else on the site, such as the character builder.

Whereas the $29.99 option gives you access everywhere on the site.

[civic depot]

Right - so you have the information about traits, classes, spells etc, but these don't flow through to your digital character sheet unless you have the PHB.

[uneven lantern]

Yep

[civic depot]

Tops! Thanks!!

[timid scroll]

Awesome!

[cinder hearth]

Hello support,
In the filters with the sources, there is the line "acquisition incorporated" what does it mean exactly ? Is all the content bought or shared ?

[modest pelican]

It's the name of a book

[covert pebble]

Ok, so I own the MotM sourcebook, and I'm wanting to use the Aasimar subraces, but for some reason, none of them are appearing for me

[modest pelican]

Aasimar doesn't have subraces in Monsters of the Multiverse

Instead they have the Celestial Revelation trait which encompasses the features of the legacy subraces

[slim lichen]

Does anyone know why spells like GFB can't be added to homebrew items? Or why they can't be searched for as "Attached spells"?

So far this applies to GFB, Booming Blade, Shadow Blade, and Zephyr Strike but there's probably others.

What is it I'm missing about those spells?

[modest pelican]

Do you own those spells? They're not part of the SRD so aren't free and you can't use shared content on homebrew

[slim lichen]

Hm. That may be it then.

But if I have those source books as shared content where can I go to purchase them? If I try to get to the book anywhere it just takes me to the ToC, not to the itemized store page.

[modest pelican]

The marketplace

https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace

[slim lichen]

But would not owning the spell still prevent me from searching for it as an "Attached spell"?

On the homebrew item filter.

[modest pelican]

No, you must own it to use it in homebrew

[slim lichen]

To create my own items, yes. But if I'm trying to search for it on an item someone else made, i still have to own it?

I'm spending the 2 bucks to find out, either way. It just seems a little weird. I've made items before with spells I haven't paid for and haven't had this issue.

[modest pelican]

Oh, I think I get what you're getting at

It's "kinda no" either way

homebrew that references non-SRD spells (such as a subclass that adds spells to your list) can be published for you to find, you just won't be able to add the spells you do not own or have access to. However, if they're shared with you, you will be able to access them

homebrew that adds non-SRD spells (such as a magic item that gives you castings of a spell) cannot be published fullstop

So say someone publishes a cleric subclass that adds Greenflame Blade to your cleric spell list. You will be able to add that subclass to your collection regardless of if you own or have access to Green Flame Blade. You'll only be able to see that spell on your cleric list when using that subclass if you own Green Flame Blade or it's shared with you

However, if someone makes a sword that lets you cast green flame blade, they will not be able to publish it

[slim lichen]

Alright. That all makes sense. Thank you very much. I learned something new today.

[modest pelican]

No worries, and sorry for the initial misunderstanding

[slim lichen]

No worries at all. I got everything I needed to know and even a little extra. The purchase solved my dilemma and my player's cool earring now has GFB on it. 🙌🙌🙌

This tells google to only return results with the above URL and they must contain dragon and adventure

[autumn crown]

Ah there we go! The article itself is tagged so if I click on the tag it shows all articles with the same tag.

I swore there was an option to select or search by tags before. 🤷

Hmm seems not all the "free adventure" posts don't have the tag though. Perils in PineBrook for example.

Appreciate the help Davyd! I've got a friend who's going to run a few games for some littles and I know the dragon and the familiar adventure go over pretty well. ❤️

[uneven lantern]

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

I’d recommend selecting one of the official subclasses as a template to start. Then you can take a look inside and see exactly how it was set up.

Then you can either adjust it as needed or start yours from scratch.

DnDBeyond does offer pregen characters - see https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/builder and select "premade".

But yes, you can't copy someone else's character. The DM could let you claim a character from within their DnDbeyond campaign though.

[hollow plover]

Is there a comprehensive list of macros / formulas for homebrew creations.
As an example when working off of an existing subclass yesterday I noticed a line something like: ( DC {{savedc:con}})
I know I butchered that but I'm working off of memory.
A comprehensive list of parameters like that would be immensely helpful for homebrew content creators.

So on a diff D&D server that I am a part of a number of us have been trying to help a blind new player work through character creation with her screen reader. Recently she has gotten an error where finishing her sheet she still can’t use it as if it were getting the incomplete notification. I believe there are parts in the D&DBeyond character builder that may not be getting picked up by her screen reader. I am hoping to bring this to light so that the team at D&DBeyond may take a look and possibly make the site more screen reader friendly to help this blind new player and any future and other current visually impaired members of the D&D community

[naive lodge]

Can you provide a link to the character sheet so we can verify if it's complete or not?

[frail yoke]

I was able to look at the sheet myself. The issue is the notes section. Trying to write in any of that pages subsections like backstory she is unable to exit and the written information ends up getting lost. The rest of the sheet she has been able to fill. There are other sections she has said to have gotten stuck in.

[muted stratus]

Did D&D Beyond ever come up with a fix for being able to change the spells of clockwork and AM sorcerers or do you still have to do the weird work around with the homebrew subclass?

Homebrew is currently the only solution.

[willow heart]

Hey, I'm making pregens for my players but might not have enough room in character list for all of them. Is there a way to give them the pregens I made and free up room on my character list?

[uneven lantern]

Are those pregens all assigned to a campaign already?

Ultimately, you need to get them in a campaign and mark them as unassigned. (You can also create unassigned character directly inside the campaign.)

Then when send your players the invite link at the top of the campaign page, they’ll have the option to choose any unassigned character in that campaign.

Once a character is claimed, it will transfer to their account instead of yours.

Thanks!

[frail yoke]

Update, her screen reader sees this bar in the sheet as images. The screen reader wont read them out because of this.

[modest pelican]

Can they try disabling Beyond 20? Third party extensions can modify the site in ways we cannot support

[frail yoke]

That was from my sheet, she doesn’t have beyond 20

[naive lodge]

What screen reader is she using, and is it a current version?

[frail yoke]

The program is called voiceover on iPhone and it’s up to date

[uneven lantern]

Is she using the mobile app or the website?

[frail yoke]

She said she’s used both phone app and braile computer with the same issue.

[vagrant crown]

how can i make a spell use action instead of spell slot? its a feat that can use a spell once per long rest

[uneven lantern]

What you’ve got there should do it.

Number of Uses: 1

[vagrant crown]

it doesnt show up in action list, when i try to use it it tries to use a spell slot.

[vagrant crown]

i found a workaround i made it an alias thx anyways

[timid scroll]

How do I claim the free stuff?

[uneven lantern]

The ones linked above? Just visit the link and hit the "Claim" button inside.

[timid scroll]

oh perfect! thank you, my friend!

[little plume]

How would i change a homebrew sword to throw more die than 1d8?

[modest pelican]

This channel is D&D Beyond support

[tacit niche]

If I buy a digital&physical book from the dnd store do I get a key to redeem on dnd beyond or another way?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it will be emailed to you after purchase.

[mystic badge]

Can players in my DnD Beyond Campaigns "access" (I say they find it, they can add it to their character's inventory) magic items that only I have access to thanks to books like the DM's guide or do I need the Master Subscription for that?

[edgy oriole]

To enable content sharing, someone in your DnDBeyond campaign must have a Master Tier subscription and enable content sharing for that campaign.

[idle shale]

I'm homebrewing a rogue subclass for a campaign and I need some help with making a working resource value that you use in order to use the subclass actions. If you know how to help dm me so we can hop in a call and I'll stream.

[uneven lantern]

Inside your class feature, you’ll need to add an Action. Give it a Reset Type, then save it and edit it again. You’ll then see a section for Limited Use at the bottom of the screen.

[idle shale]

Right so. Every action this class gives uses the same resource. Should I just make a feature for the resource and tick the boxes on it when I use a move?

I wanted to make it like starry map guiding bolt where the actions have a use button that automatically takes away a use

Yknow how the guiding bolt that gives has a button next to the action that says 1 U and if you press it, it automatically ticks a box on the feature

And I want the amount of uses to scale with your profiency modifier

[uneven lantern]

What I described above would be more like Channel Divinity or Ki.

Since Guiding Bolt is a spell, that’s set up differently.

Is yours also a spell?

[idle shale]

I guess it could work like a spell. Basically you use your bonus action to apply a buff to your next attack

[uneven lantern]

If you wants to see how that one was set up, you could select Circle of Stars as a template when you create a homebrew subclass.

That’ll give you an exact copy so you can peek inside and steal its secrets.

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to create it as a homebrew spell if you want it to work in the same way as Guiding Bolt.

[idle shale]

There a way I can do that without using a template?

[uneven lantern]

No

[idle shale]

.

[uneven lantern]

You don’t actually have to build yours from the template.

But that’s the only way to look under the hood.

[idle shale]

So the problem is that I don't own circle of stars

[uneven lantern]

Ah

Basically when you add a spell to your class feature, there’s an option inside to give it a number of uses.

[idle shale]

So I should indicate the action as a spell?

[uneven lantern]

No

Inside the class feature, there’s an option to add actions and an option to add spells.

They’re two separate things.

[idle shale]

Am I able to have the uses it takes be linked to multiple different actions.
Action A and Action B take the same resource(uses) but Action B takes 2 uses

[uneven lantern]

That’s not possible, I’m afraid.

[uneven lantern]

What you suggested here would be the best solution for that.

[idle shale]

Alright. Thanks, I'll just have to take a look at it

I was trying to give the features some automation because I'm making it for a friend who's new

[idle shale]

K, is there a way to make it so the amount of boxes on that feature scale with proficiency

This is how I have it set up to look right now

[uneven lantern]

1 x Proficiency Bonus

[idle shale]

Alright

Thank you

I set it like this so it should be 4 uses because it scales off my dex but it's still 3

I'm gonna have to remake this from the ground up without the unique resource probably.

I'm sorry if this is annoying you but I have another question. How do I get this feature to actually apply these buffs?

[uneven lantern]

You can use Modifiers for that.

• Type: Bonus
• Subtype: Initiative
• Fixed Value: 1

[idle shale]

I set up the modifier like this but it isn't working

[uneven lantern]

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

If you added that just now, I’d wait a little bit.

[idle shale]

Right. And how do you do the movement speed?

[uneven lantern]

There won’t be a way to conditionally add it using the subclass.

Not without setting it up as a choice in the character builder, but you’d have to reopen that every time you want to switch.

If you wanted to add it permanently, that would be a modifier as well.

Alternatively, homebrew magic items are a popular workaround for temporary effects.

They could equip it when the speed boost applies, and unequip it when it does not.

[idle shale]

I tried to impose a -5 speed reduction but that didn't work

[idle shale]

I suppose I could do that.

[uneven lantern]

You’d want to use Type: Bonus, Subtype: Speed when you’re adding movement.

Same if you do it as a magic item instead.

[idle shale]

I did that last night and thought it didn't work because I didn't know the character sheet took time to update

Alright thanks. I'm reworking the resource for the class to just give the features their own uses and having a move that allows you to restore the uses one a specific move twice per long rest

It was originally going to be that you would get a resource back for a successful sneak attack

You've been a big help.

How do I make a move that has a limited # of uses being 0.5 times proficiency?

[uneven lantern]

You might have to fake that one.

Add one that sets it to 1 to start.

Then add another one for 2 at level… whenever that would go up. 😅

[idle shale]

So remove the stat modifier and just have it give X number of uses at certain levels?

[uneven lantern]

“Number of Uses: 1” is all you’d put.

So you’d remove Stat Modifier and uncheck Use Proficiency Bonus.

[uneven lantern]

Level 9 is when half your proficiency would be 2.

[idle shale]

How do I make it give more uses at X level. It has 2 uses at level 3 rn and I want it to get boosted to 3 uses at level 9

[uneven lantern]

Save the one you’ve got, then click “Add Limited Use” again.

[idle shale]

k

Oh I see. oops

If I'm making the actions count as spells do I need to make the class able to cast spells in the basic info like this?

Assume I did this right once the character sheet loads it should look like this but for the skill not guiding bolt

1 U MoveName 1 BA Self To Hit(doesn't matter) Damage 1 Use (x/x)

[uneven lantern]

Anything you add as an Action will appear in the Actions tab only.

If you want it to appear under the Spells tab, you need to create a homebrew spell and then add that spell to your subclass.

[frail yoke]

For downloading the sheet as a PDF, the ability scores and prepared spells did not show up on the PDF

[gentle patio]

quick question.... a level 5 paladin in our group is somehow getting +20 to their damage on their items?

I can't track down where it's coming from

any suggestions where I should look?

[lament edge]

Hi, I purchased the Order subclass for Cleric on DND Beyond and it is not available at character creation. The purchase was several months ago.

[lament edge]

Try their Features page, might be something in there that they've added. Do you have homebrew enabled?

[edgy oriole]

Make sure to enable the Magic the Gathering content toggle on your sheet (that subclass comes from Guildmasters' Guide to Ravnica which is a MTG setting).

[gentle patio]

we do, but I don't think they've added anything.... will investigate regardless

[edgy oriole]

I would double check that sword item and make sure it's configured correctly - maybe they customized it (click the item on the front-end of the sheet and click the "Customize" text and review the settings).

[lament edge]

that fixed it, thank you!

[dire pewter]

So, was in my first ddb vvt game. Everything was going great until the dm shared a pic to the group. For the rest of the game, I couldnt see the official map (just the beholder behind the screen image and my cs). The shared image had to be opened in a separate window... as per the error msgs.
So, I'm not sure what I missed or not and the dm has not had this happen before.

• I've updated Chrome
• I've checked ad blockers
• I've resigned in many times

Any suggestions here?

[modest pelican]

That looks like you're using AboveVTT, not Maps

AboveVTT is a third party extension that is not supported by D&D Beyond

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[gentle patio]

dunno if this works - || https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/95448620 ||

[gentle patio]

couldn't find anything there

[modest pelican]

You don't need to spoiler your URL

[uneven lantern]

Try going into the Class page of the character builder. Unselect their fighting style, wait a second, and refresh the page.

If the fighting style is still there, do it again until the field is empty.

Then reselect it.

[modest pelican]

Damn, just beat me to it!
Yeah, given that it's only applying to the one handed option, that'd suggest it's an issue with multiple (hidden) instances of the dueling fighting style

[gentle patio]

oooh, let's test it out

FIXED - ayyyy, appreciations ❤️

[noble badger]

Where can I follow this project?
I'm finding it very difficult to find any information within the last year for this.
Who is D&D Direct?
Where is their project page?
What is the development stage now, a year later?

[modest pelican]

Where can I follow this project?
It doesn't have a public facing portal/site yet
I'm finding it very difficult to find any information within the last year for this.
There hasn't been much released since then
Who is D&D Direct?
D&D Direct is a live stream that has updates on D&D, it's hosted yearly
Where is their project page?
There isn't one
What is the development stage now, a year later?
That has not been announced

[noble badger]

Thank you. Is there a studio name that is working on the VTT?

[modest pelican]

No such information has been shared, and given that it's not a D&D Beyond project, that would also fall outside the scope of this channel

[noble badger]

Understood thank you.

[noble badger]

I physically own a copy of Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. Why can't I find this lore on D&D Beyond? Fighter subclass Echo Knight for example is not listed on DDB

[modest pelican]

Because you need to buy the book on D&D Beyond to access it on D&D Beyond

[noble badger]

Oh, so it is available just not publicly

[modest pelican]

It's not available for free, no

[noble badger]

I'm sorry. I guess I don't understand the licensing well enough to ask effective questions.

So on this site, there is free information
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/fighter

There are subclasses listed.
How do I refer to this canon? Is it SRD?

[uneven lantern]

Anything in the Basic Rules is available for free.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules

Echo Knight is not in the Basic Rules.

If you've already got the physical book, you could use the homebrew tools to recreate that subclass.

Or you can buy the subclass by itself, instead of the full book. Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book as well.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/explorers-guide-to-wildemount

[noble badger]

And if I buy 'Explorer's Guide to Wildemount' on DDB, I will get access to this content digitally through the character creator?

[noble badger]

Gotcha, thank you!

[dawn egret]

Buying a physical book and expecting the content to be on Beyond "Because I own the book!" is like buying a physical Playstation disc and demanding that Microsoft give you a digital Xbox copy.

Beyond is a different medium to physical, with its own associated costs.

The only exception would be if you bought a Physical+Digital Bundle from WotC directly, in which case you will be sent a code via email to redeem on Beyond AND eventually be mailed a physical copy.

[little plume]

hello am i in the right channel for asking about issues im having with my tul/dndbeyond page?

Poifect im having issues with tul not accepting some of my spells when i type out casting for eldritch blast it works just fine but when i type out casting for hex of chromatic orb it says my account isnt linked

And rest assured my account is very linked

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by "tul"?

[little plume]

I was told to come here if i was having issues with tul i forget its full name but its the bot program that connects your dndbeyond to discord

[modest pelican]

Avrae?

That's the only bot that D&D Beyond officially supports for connecting your D&D Beyond account to Discord

[little plume]

Oh ya i guess hahaha im not super techy

[modest pelican]

If you want help with Avrae, you're best off asking in #ddb-avrae-help

[little plume]

So that message pops up when i use hex and some other spells but not when i use spells like eldritch blast

[random garnet]

Is it just me or is using the custom background option a little buggy? I can select my proficiencies and all that but it doesn't appear on my character sheet.

I remember this happening before but after a few minutes of refreshing the page, it finally showed up.

[modest pelican]

That's a known issue with the custom background option

[patent crown]

I bought "Flame TongueDouble-Bladed Scimitar" but dnd beyond doesn't have it so i had to make a custom one, and it's not doing good. It's missing 2d6 fire dmg per hit. How do i add that 2d6 fire dmg?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean you bought it but D&D Beyond doesn't have it? How did you buy it?

[patent crown]

Ingame/session

Shop

[modest pelican]

Oh, okay
I thought you meant you bought it on D&D Beyond (ie you had a markplace issue)

The reason DDB doesn't have it is because Flame Tongue is "any sword" and double-bladed scimitar isn't a sword
Why are you making it as custom action and not making a copy of the flametongue weapon and setting the weapon type to double-bladed scimitar?

[patent crown]

I just tapped the first thing i saw and tried haha, basically i got no idea what I'm doing haha

[modest pelican]

You wouldn't be able to add multiple dice expressions to custom actions, you'd just have to note it in the description

[patent crown]

Where is it, and how do i get there? haha

I bought hunter's coat from the market store, but it's not showing up in an item search under item management to add to inventory. Help!

[uneven lantern]

Have you enabled "Critical Role Content" for that character?

[dire pewter]

That fixed it. Thanks!

[noble field]

weird, dndb showing not secure on firefox suddenly. working on chrome tho. is just me?

disreagrd, gotta be firefox. or at least my particular browser

[tropic atlas]

When I create a homebrew monster I can select sidekick statblocks all the way to level 10 as template. But when I search on the search bar I can only find the level 1 statblock for sidekicks. Are the higher level sidekick statblocks available anywhere else? I own both Tasha's and Dragon of Icespire Peak

[daring stump]

Not sure if this is more Homebrew or DDB help, I'm cresting a subclass that uses mostly Ranger spellcasting but I need it to have Charisma for the spell casting. Is that something that is possible?

[modest pelican]

The higher level ones are only available in the character sheet and homebrew tools, much like how some magic items are only found there (such as flametongue longsword vs flametongue weapon)

[uneven lantern]

A ranger subclass, I take it? I think there's a Spellcasting Ability option under Basic Information.

[daring stump]

Actually going to be under Fighter but was curious if I could dictate Ranger spells but with Charisma casting

[uneven lantern]

Should be doable, if you follow the same spell slot progression as Eldritch Knight.

You can make a homebrew copy of that subclass if you want to see how it was set up.

Steal its secrets. 🤫

[timid drift]

Were there any subscriber perks back in December 2023? I see November 2023, January 2024, and February 2024 added. But December seems to be skipped

Is there a page I have to visit every month to claim subscriber perks? Or does it just get added to the account automatically

[modest pelican]

They get added automatically

And I can't remember what they were, but they weren't skipped

I think they might have been dice?

[timid drift]

Oh, maybe it's the Red Dragon Dice

That would fit into the correct order

Yea, that's got to be it. Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

It was indeed. #dnd-social-feeds message

[oak rose]

how would i level up an artificer thats subclasses in a hombrew Engineer class from dead space?

and how do i add its spells and stuff in a char sheet?

[modest pelican]

Are you asking about making a homebrew subclass or using it?

[idle arch]

You would need to first build this subclass in the D&D Beyond homebrew creation tools. Once you do that, you can add it to a character, and then level them up as normal. Assuming you created everything properly, it will add their spells and such automatically the same way it does with official subclasses

[oak rose]

both

[oak rose]

i cant access the artificer class since i dont own it so beyond is usless for this but its okay just need to know how. to do it manually

[modest pelican]

You can't manually homebrew the whole class

[idle arch]

when you say "manually" do you mean pen and paper character sheets?

[oak rose]

yeah

[modest pelican]

This isn't the channel for that

This channel is for getting support using D&D Beyond

[edgy geyser]

Is there a way when browsing the items/monsters/etc to have it automatically pull the sources you own or do you have to filter it by source manually each time

[modest pelican]

You have to manually filter each time

[idle arch]

If you perform a search through the character sheet interface, then it will only show you results that are legal to add to your character sheet, which means content that you own or is shared with you only.

Not quite so helpful for monsters, but magic items and spells can be filtered this way

[graceful belfry]

Is there a way to create a homebrew weapon with a fixed damage value of 1?

[idle arch]

i don't believe so, because all homebrew magic weapons are based off a base non-magical weapon, and I don't think there is a way to reduce or change that base damage amount, except by adding onto it. You could either create a custom action directly on the character sheet to do 1 damage, or just write it in the item's description. The point of changing the damage amount of the weapon on DDB would be to make it so you can use the auto dice roller to show the damage amount, but if its a fixed damage value of 1, then you don't need a roller

[graceful belfry]

Thanks! That's very helpful.

[uneven lantern]

FWIW, you can unlock the artificer class by purchasing any artificer subclass. They're like $2 each.

[quaint burrow]

I've got a bug where 2 encounters can't be deleted from my account no matter what I have thought to try. I've tried the following:

Renaming the encounters
Removing all monsters
Removing all characters
Adding different monsters/characters
Deleting all other encounters from the list
etc.

Is this a known bug? Do i need to put in a ticket?

[uneven lantern]

If you already tried renaming them, then I’d recommend contacting customer support.

[quaint burrow]

thanks

[plain shore]

for some reason my account says its a free account

even though i paid for a yearly subscription for master in december

[uneven lantern]

Does it show your subscription here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[plain shore]

no

ive got proof that i paid for it and everything

it only happened sometime this week

[uneven lantern]

Are your other purchases/characters/etc. still there? Are you sure you're signed into the same account?

If so, then you may want to contact customer support: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[plain shore]

thanks i was trying to find this lol

[timid scroll]

is sharing a campaign the ONLY way to show somebody one of my homebrew thingies?

[uneven lantern]

Your private homebrew is automatically shared with your campaigns.

It’s also possible to publish homebrew to the global community, but I wouldn’t do it unless it’s been finished and playtested and is ready to live on the internet forever exactly as it is.

[fringe grove]

On the monsters lists on ddb didn't the advanced search have an option for "has spellcasting"? Or am i imagining that

[icy ledge]

Is there a reason that Actions in Class Feature Options uses character levels for level overrides but a regular action in the same feature uses class levels for level overrides? It feels strange that they don't match up and I'm trying to convert an action to put in Class Feature Options that uses class level for level overrides

[tacit niche]

so im trying to make a modified zombie with a weapon but i dont know how to make like a new stat block for it (on dnd beyond)

[uneven lantern]

Just select the existing zombie as a template when you create your homebrew.

You’ll get an exact copy, which you can adjust as needed.

[tacit niche]

OH!

thanks

[daring stream]

Hello, I am a new player to the app and I was wondering how to display and equip my mount that I added from the D&D Beyond website onto my character on the mobile app

[tardy grove]

Do I have to buy TCoE in order to get access to the expanded spell lists?

[uneven lantern]

The optional class features are only available with the full book purchase, yeah.

[uneven lantern]

Once you add it on the website, it should be visible in the app.

[daring stream]

It definitely isn't on the app, is there a way I can submit a bug report

[uneven lantern]

On your character list in the app, does that character show a green phone icon with a checkmark?

[daring stream]

I don't think so

[uneven lantern]

That would suggest it hasn’t synced with the website for some reason.

If you change something else on the site, like their name, does that show in the app?

[daring stream]

The name for the character did

Changed from it's original to "test 123" and that tracked nearly right away

[uneven lantern]

Strange 🤔

I added a saber-toothed tiger to mine and it showed up right away.

[daring stream]

Let me try a different character

[modest pelican]

Just did the same and it appeared almost instantly

[daring stream]

This one worked, maybe the character is bugged. I will just try to make a new one

[uneven lantern]

Strange

[daring stream]

That resolved it, a new character identical in name and stats and it's now visible

[uneven lantern]

[ruby spruce]

I made a character with the Witherbloom Student background and selected the Strixhaven Initiate (Witherbloom) feat. I then changed my mind about the background and removed it, but I cannot remove the Feat. https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/118461928

[modest pelican]

Can you try re-adding the background, then re-select the feat, then remove it, then change your background?

[ruby spruce]

Okay, I just tried that. I cannot remove the feat even doing that. Once it's on the sheet after choosing it via the background, the option to Delete it does not appear on the "Manage Feats" list (unlike other feats). Instead, where the add/delete button usually is are only the words "From Witherbloom Student."

[modest pelican]

Do you mind if I have a mess around and see if I can figure out what's going on and try and fix it?

[ruby spruce]

I don't mind at all.

[modest pelican]

It looks fixed to me

I unselected the spellcasting ability, and then switched the feat to Sage

[ruby spruce]

Yep, looks fixed. And now I get it. I hadn't thought that the feat would be removed by unselecting the spellcasting ability. Thank you!

[tough salmon]

hey - I've got a new player as a druid, we're using D&D beyond for the character sheets and encounters / rolls. He's using wildshape, and while we can figure out how to pull up his wildshape and get his shape hit points visible (at least to him), for the life of us, we can't figure out how to get his attack rolls to use the dice notation found in the rest of the character sheets. Is there a way? Or does he just have to do the manual rolls?

he's super new to D&D, so, he's pretty frustrated by it, and I'm trying to help but finding myself a bit stuck

[plain shore]

It’s not showing that I have a subscription even though I paid for a yearly one. I bought it like 2 months ago what is going on?

It’s been like this for like a week atleast

I made a ticket on Friday but I get they might not of answered it on the weekend, but I’ve seen people saying that it took them 3 weeks to get a response?

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered in the order they’re received, so the wait time ultimately depends on how many tickets are ahead of you.

But that number isn’t something anyone here would know.

[dire pewter]

I bought the initiate of high sorcery background, and the feat not only didn't auto add, it isn't even listed in drop down for manual addition. I am playing a sorcerer and have the Dragonlance options clicked available.
Is this something that can be address here? Or do I need to file a ticket at ddb?

[lapis geyser]

if you want the feat, you have to buy it too

[dire pewter]

.... really? Ugh. Ok. Ty.

[hardy kernel]

is there a way to make mundane (nonmagical) items? cause i like to bring in 3rd party content from books i own into my games, and some have, for instance, new weapon types. and i can’t just add them as magic items because if i try to add a magic weapon it forces me to pick what type of weapon it is from those that already exist. is there any way to add mundane things like that? cause if there isn’t that’s unfortunate

[lapis geyser]

you cant make homebrew mundane items unfortunately.

[uneven lantern]

You can add custom items and custom actions directly on your character sheet, but there’s not a way to make ones that can be reused across sheets.

[vivid flicker]

was the pre order just removed?

i had it in my cart and cannot add it back

[modest pelican]

Pre order for what?

[raven tundra]

Why don't I have the legendary bundle discount on the new Vecna adventure?

[vivid flicker]

sorry for Vecna

[vivid flicker]

you can order it? I can't do digital pre order.. keeps removing it from my cart

[raven tundra]

apparently not

[eternal latch]

Looks like there is an issue adding the digital only preorder for Vecna: Eve of Ruin to my cart. Additionally, the Legendary Bundle discount isn't applying?

[modest pelican]

It would appear that the marketplace isn't fully updated yet

[vivid flicker]

thanks! I mean it literally was just announced so not that big of a deal. I'll check back later to see if i can just lock in the pre order.

[acoustic niche]

Hey, thanks for the report.
We will look into this now

[vivid flicker]

thanks to the team - looks like the issue is resolved

[tender wing]

I'm having this error trying to load my encounters. I have a session in 2 hours, can anyone help me please?
(Is either that error or a eternal loading of my encounters).

Already tried: Reload the page, Another Browser, Close the Browser and open.
I have no VPN active.

[tough salmon]

I’ve had that periodically, logging out / back in seemed to fix it for me

[tender wing]

Already tried that too, unfortunelly it still like this

Tried now: Clear navigation data.
Did not work as well.
Any staff online that can help?

[uneven lantern]

You generally won't find the DDB staff here.

But do you get the same issue on another device?

[tender wing]

I don't have other computer to try it.

There is not staff in D&D Beyond support channel? o.O

[modest pelican]

No, this is a community focused support channel where we assist each other or the moderation team directs you to the formal support channel (customer service ticket) where necessary

Honestly, you don’t want formal support staff in a channel like this

[tender wing]

I've open a thread in Bugs & Support forum of D&D Beyond, but before that I had search for the same problem and saw people that had the same issue with no response whatsoever.
The support is usually like this? .-.

[uneven lantern]

If you want to speak to an actual staff member, you should contact customer support.

Hi folks - I want to confirm there is no way to mark off a hit die without taking a short rest. We have a house rule that allows the use of hit die, so in order to use it we have to mark it the go and remove all the effects of the short rest. Not ideal 🙂 I tested it on the web and the mobile app. Which I guess are nearly the same code.

You can tick it off but when you open it again it is not saved

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it’s currently only possible with a short rest.

[pastel sand]

Thanks.

I am guessing this is not a feature others are asking for? Or is that no something folks here would know about...

[uneven lantern]

I know it’s been requested before.

And I’d be surprised if it wasn’t already on their to-do list.

But ultimately, yeah, no one here could say where it falls in their list of priorities.

I just lost my whole finished back story . I spent hours last night writing out my backstory in my character sheet. I ended up writing and revising like eight paragraphs. Everything was done. It was set. It was good. For context, I wrote my backstory on my desktop PC at home. I'm so totally heartbroken though, because when I opened up my laptop this morning, the character sheet loaded in on a chrome tab. The sheet was open, but it was open with the backstory's old unfinished version. And unfortunately, I think once the sheet loaded, it set itself as the most current version of the character sheet. Please tell me there's a way to restore the old version?

[modest pelican]

There is not

[meager canyon]

quick question about using dndb and buying books as the DM - if I buy books and have access to things that my players don't (bc they don't own the books) can I still edit their character sheets myself to grant those things? Or should we continue to use the homebrew tools to get them added?

I know if I sub to the site they get access to anything I own, but I haven't subbed yet. Just wondering if buying the books there would let me grant the things to them

[tough salmon]

Just share content in the campaign, it lets you select which content to share and then they can access it as if they own it for that character

[meager canyon]

isn't that only if you have the master tier sub though? here I phrased my question a bit better in another server

I'm asking bc there's books neither I nor my players own, and none of us are subbed either. So before we start spending money, I'm wondering if I have to buy the books and subscribe, or if I can just buy the books and then I'll manually do it for all of them since it won't share.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the website and the only way to share it is by buying and subbing, but I thought if I edit the character sheet I'd have access to whatever I buy whether I share it/they own it or not. But I could be wrong! Which is why I'm asking here

e.g. if I bought xanathar/tasha, would I be able to edit them to fit those new subclasses if applicable? or only if I subscribe too

sorry I keep trying to rephrase my question bc I'm not sure I'm articulating it right

[idle arch]

If you the DM create a character using content you own, you can have that character join your campaign, and then unasign it from yourself. Then another member of your campaign could claim the character, and use it as their own, whether or not they own the content that was used to make it. They would not be able to make changes that add more content they don't own, and if they remove any content they don't own it would not be able to be added back, I believe

[meager canyon]

I see... and if the player makes the character, but I the DM edit their sheet myself, would I have access to only the books they have, only the books they have in common, or everything I have?

Sounds like the answer is to homebrew or buy and subscribe really

[idle arch]

I am not sure, but I think the answer is only content they have

[meager canyon]

yeah I get this is a pretty specific scenario I'm curious about haha

thanks for the help though!

[rustic elm]

is placing a dummy character with books and content sharing into another campaign to grant them access to them violating any tos

[idle arch]

Content sharing only exists per campaign. You cannot use content share with you in campaign A to make a character in campaign B

[rustic elm]

yeeaah...? i dont think thats what i mean

given the fact that you are able to content share and have bought at least some books, you join the campaign of a different party and enable content sharing for them, to grant the entire party access to those books

is that a thing

[edgy oriole]

Content sharing is only possible if someone in the campaign has a master tier subscription and enables one of the 5 uses on that campaign.

[rustic elm]

yeah

so yes
thats what i wanted to know

[idle arch]

Oh you're asking if its ok for you to join a campaign just to grant them access to content sharing, even if you aren't playing in that campaign?

[rustic elm]

Yes

[edgy oriole]

That is against the terms of service - folks enabling content sharing or join a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing are expected to be active participants in that campaign

[rustic elm]

okay
thanks for the help guys

[lapis geyser]

can you point me to this in the TOS? i've seen it mentioned before, but i can't seem to locate it. for future reference

[edgy oriole]

The footer of the DnDBeyond website links to the terms of service.

[lapis geyser]

thats the document im looking at, i just don't see this mentioned

[edgy oriole]

I’m not sure it’s strictly spelled out but per our server rules (see bit about soliciting access here #1133105812785610862 message) that is our understanding of the intended use of content sharing.

Hope that helps

[lapis geyser]

Got it, so as far as i can tell it is not against the TOS to use the site that way, it's just against server rules to ask for access in that way

[edgy oriole]

Eh… I mean you can have your lawyer talk with WoTCs lawyers about the definitions and intentions but that is our understanding of what is intended.

[lapis geyser]

its just not mentioned at all is my point. it may have been before the acquisition, but the TOS link now points directly to the WOTC terms

[edgy oriole]

Anyway I think we’ve discussed this to where we are at the limit of what’s permitted per server rules - I’d suggest reaching out to WoTC directly if you have questions about their terms of service.

[solid kestrel]

content you have. I did it for my first group years back.

[meager canyon]

Oh perfect that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. So if I just buy the books I can edit them with anything I would have access to without subbing?

That means I would have to level them up to see all that, but I wouldn't have to sub to do it?

Of course compared to the price of the books subbing is nothing but to me, it's the price of buying the book once vs subbing to give them access which they'll only use once a week

[solid kestrel]

subbing also lets you add homebrews to your collection, have more than 6 characters, use the lacking maps tool, early access to alpha features, it's more than just book sharing.

[meager canyon]

That's true. I'm using a number of other tools to make up for it, like maps via DungeonScrawl and using Owlbear Rodeo as the game room

[solid kestrel]

Yeah, as is I cannot recommend the maps tool until it matches OBR quality. That said, you can indeed use your content manually on the sheets for the group you're playing with.
I tried to hammer it into the heads of the DND club I was in but it seemed like everyone threw their communications in a river every week-
Hopefully your group recognizes what you can do.

[gaunt ocean]

is anyone having problems with accessing your marketplace cart to purchase the two new books: Humblewood Campaign Setting and the Vecna: Eve of Ruin Digital Preorder cuz im unable to go to the page to pay for them

[uneven lantern]

Works for me.

Do you get the same issue in another browser, or on another device? What happens when you try to access your cart, exactly?

[waxen crypt]

is there a way to change the spells you get from the clockwork magic feature in dndbeyond? i cant figure it out

ive seen in some places that you just need to make a homebrew version of the subclass. is that still what you need to do?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, homebrew is the only option so far.

[waxen crypt]

ah ok. thank you!

[gaunt ocean]

when i press "my cart" it gives me an error and i already have item inside of the cart of the new books but it used to work on google chrome

[sturdy talon]

does ddb support count as avrae support as well, mine wont work

if so, my Avrae is bugging out in a rp server. my coin pouch wont register. when i do a ! order command it say register pouch but i did. the moderators dont have a answer on how to fix it and im hoping i could just go to the source.

[uneven lantern]

Were you able to try it in another browser or on another device?

If you’re getting the same issue there, then you’ll probably want to click that “Contact Support” link shown in your image.

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking in #ddb-avrae-help. It sounds like your problem is with a user-made alias, though, not a built-in command. You may need to contact whoever wrote that alias.

[gaunt ocean]

ive just tested it in Safari browser and did the same error

[patent crown]

I cant find the homebrew item i made, to add it to the inventory of my character

[solid kestrel]

The first couple of things would be
Homebrew toggle on?
waited ~15 minutes for cache?

Sometimes a toggle or the caching can slip the mind and lead to a very confusing ~10-15 minutes

[patent crown]

I found it thank you

[rustic elm]

i added a damage modifier to my homebrew item but i dont know how to increase it by 1d4 every time the item is used, is that possible and if yes, how so

[modest pelican]

That's not possible, you would have to just write it in the description

[rustic elm]

okay thanks

[patent crown]

Double-bladed scimitar, it has the special after you attack as part of the action you can use bonus action to attack dealing 1d4

how do you add that special in homebrew items?

[modest pelican]

You can't, it's hard coded into the double bladed scimitar

[patent crown]

Automatic on it already?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean?

[patent crown]

Double-bladed Scimitar automatically has it on them

[modest pelican]

Yes, because as I said, it's hard coded to that item

Homebrew items cannot add actions

[uneven lantern]

By "hard coded", he means its just included in the text description.

That item doesn't actually add anything to the Bonus Action section on your sheet.

[modest pelican]

Sorry, I could've made that clearer

[patent crown]

Got it

[timber nova]

could state "using ba scim" -d +1d6

[modest pelican]

That's an avrae command, that won't do anything in the homebrew tools

[uneven lantern]

That's not even how much damage that BA does.

[devout crest]

Is there a way to swap out one of the characters you picked as active upon cancelling a membership for one that is inactive?

[modest pelican]

There is not

[devout crest]

But if i re-up my sub ill regain access?

[modest pelican]

Yep, you will

[cyan surge]

I had an old account and I think I linked it to my discord accout when I was younger, and I lost access to that account and am unable to link my new DND beyond account to my Discord acoount, waht do I do guys?

[uneven lantern]

You can try going into your Discord settings > Authorized Apps and removing Avrae there.

But if that doesn’t work, you’d need to contact customer support to ask about account recovery.

[gaunt ocean]

ive tried fixing the issue of a bug with the marketplace cart from the website. i was able to purchase the Humblewood Campaign Setting from the D&D beyond app, but theres no Vecna: Eve of Ruin Digital Preorder on the app. but when i use the website's marketplace it doesnt update the cart at all to be accurate with only having the Vecna: Eve of Ruin Digital Preorder book inside the cart to purchase it on the website.

[muted needle]

Is there a way to share my sourcebooks with my players?

[modest pelican]

Yep, via the master tier subscription

https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscribe

[muted needle]

Ty, 3 more dollars a month as I have hero is much better than two phbs and the other needed ones

[gilded tide]

Okay so I’m making an earth genasi Dao Genie warlock and I have two main questions

1: for some reason I have blade ward cantrip twice? I know I have it for being an earth genasi but idk why I have it again and idk how to fix.

2: I have two weapon fighting but idk where I picked that? And idk if there’s a way to change it

[modest pelican]

1. Each spell will say where it's from on your sheet, usually when you click it
2. You can go into Manage Character and edit them to remove the fighting style

[gilded tide]

Where would I find the fighting style on the manage character?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character?

[gilded tide]

Hold. Also both my blade wards say there from merge with stone but one has three charges and one has no charges

I’m currently using mobile and and beyond how exactly do I get the link off my phone using the app?

[modest pelican]

You can't, you'll need to load the character on the site and get the URL from there

[gilded tide]

Would the pdf be of use or no

[modest pelican]

No

[wintry junco]

Is there a better way to find my owned content?

[lapis geyser]

better than what? where are you looking for it?

[wintry junco]

Well I've been going into Sources, and searching for it

But there has to be a better way that doesn't require searching lol

Why isn't there just a drop down for content you own

[lapis geyser]

there is not, it is a much requested feature

[wintry junco]

That's crazy

But alright I'll deal

Thank you!

[dense viper]

You can go to your account on the website then the Marketplace tab scroll down and you will see "Current Product Licenses" that should be everything that you own under your account.

[uneven lantern]

The mobile app also has an option to filter by owned content.

[wintry junco]

Yeah the mobile app is better in that regard

I was talking about desktop though

[fervent aspen]

Are full-on homebrew classes possible?

[edgy oriole]

Only subclasses can be homebrewed at this time. Full classes, mundane items, or base archetype weapons are not possible at this time.

[fervent aspen]

Right, thanks.

[night plaza]

Can someone help me homebrew a subclass in for fighter
