It does a couple other odd things too. It’s almost like it’s not reading the formatting correctly. When you turn a page it’s like there’s a huge amount of white space that you have to scroll to the end of then swipe again or zoom out fully then swipe. Search basically doesn’t work because the highlighted text is completely lost. And bookmarks don’t always take you where they’re supposed to.

Some screenshots of the page issue. It seems to only do this when art is involved.

[uneven lantern]

I’d bet the CSS is failing to load for some reason.

But what that reason is, I wouldn’t know. 😅

[warped orchid]

The craziest thing is that it still to this day hasn’t happened on my previous phone. I can load up anything and read it without any issues.

[dire blade]

This issue can be fixed by reinstalling the app. This happens when the local files get corrupted. Delete it and all data from your device and redownload it entirely.

[warped orchid]

I stated previously this doesn’t work permanently. It comes back and pretty quickly. Which if it’s happening repeatedly it doesn’t seem like files should corrupt that much. Also as I stated earlier there’s no bookmark backups and I’ve got a lot of them that allow me to run games easier. If I do this I’ll have to remake them over and over again which takes a lot of time.

I won’t be doing that again unless it’s discovered that this is a permanent fix 100% or there’s a backup system for bookmarks

[dire blade]

Sounds like you might best be served by opening a support ticket then. Something about your configuration specifically might be causing the issue and they can help more. Reinstalling is a permanent fix for a vast, vast majority of folks who encounter it.

[warped orchid]

I…already said I did in my original statement…

[mental mauve]

If I buy the digital Player's Handbook now, will I get access to the version coming out in September, or will I have to buy the updated one separately?

[modest pelican]

It's not been explicitly stated what's going to happen, but it's a good bet that (like Volo's Guide to Monsters/Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes going into Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse) they 2024 PHB/DMG/MM will be new books that you will need to choose to purchase

[mental mauve]

Thank you!

[wet cradle]

Having trouble adding a homebrew feat to a character that will be in my campaign, by using Beyond's homebrew feature. On the feat I put a prerequisite (light domain cleric) that Beyond seems to think that the character doesn't meet. I made sure several times that I selected the correct class and that the feat saved and I relaunched the Beyond app several times, and I tried on my browser. My other homebrew feats work perfectly fine but not this one. The feat needs prerequisites so that my players can't access it. (No one in the party plays Light Cleric nor plans to multiclass into it)

[cinder hearth]

Hello support team,
I am not sure to understand how the "Reorder sections" works on the app.
When i tap the button reorder, the interface changes, showing those 2 lines for each section. I guess it is made to move the sections up or down. But when i try on my phone, it doesn't allow me to move anything. Rather, it puts me in the section tapped, as if the reorder tool does not exist.
Do I do anything wrong?

[modest pelican]

@cinder hearth Don't tap, hold then drag

[cinder hearth]

Yes i tried that too. Doesn't work either 😅

Or i didn't press hard enough... it works now. Sorry for the inconvenience 😅

[modest pelican]

S'all good, just glad it's working

[uneven lantern]

What’s the prerequisite?

Can you share a link to that character?

[pine dune]

Hello, I am having some issues with DDB-Discord account linking and Avrae bot
I already asked for help in Avrae discord when staff, from original server where the problem happened, couldn't do anything, but in Avrae discord they couldn't help either, they told me to come and ask here

[uneven lantern]

What issues specifically?

[pine dune]

With avrae bot I can't use some spells that are from purchasable content
I made PC using content share that is set up in discord I joined and the PC is assigned to the campaign
Content share also has majority if not all purchasable content (I didn't check all, only those where spells are from and they have all "big ones" too)
When I use Avrae's !ddb command it shows my disc account is linked to my ddb account and in discord's authorized apps ddb is there too, but when I go to ddb account it doesn't show it is linked to discord account
When I try to link from ddb website it says linking failed because my discord account is already linked to another ddb account
I made ddb account using Wizards account and I checked in sign ins do I happen to have account with different mail I forgot about but there aren't any
We tried relinking dozen times, de-authorise ddb from disc authorized apps and even made a new account to try and link that one to discord but it failed again
Staff from Avrae discord tried to help but it doesn't seem like it's avrae problem which is why they sent me here if it's possibly ddb problem

[uneven lantern]

Can you go to #ddb-avrae-commands and try !ddb-debug? That should show the DDB username your Discord account is linked to.

If that’s not the account you want linked, you’ll have to sign into that account and remove the link here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

Then you can sign into the account you do want and go back to that same page to link there instead.

[pine dune]

I believe it's the same, right

[uneven lantern]

One says _Sky_Rox_50427, and the other says _Sky_Rox_.

Two different names means two different accounts.

[pine dune]

Isn't 50427 there because it's made with WotC acc?

[pine dune]

Also as I said I didn't have any other account when this happened so idk who's account _Sky_Rox_ is if it's not mine

[uneven lantern]

It has your name and it’s linked to your Discord account, so it seems unlikely it would belong to anyone else.

But if you’re not sure how to sign into that account, then you’d have to talk to customer support about account recovery.

[faint night]

Hi I’m looking for an dnd community that has the name dnd&friends in it, I was part of game but my main account was acting up so I had to make new account and now I’m trying to find that same community

[uneven lantern]

I think you’ve got the wrong channel, unless the community you’re looking for is on D&D Beyond.

[zinc patio]

Hi, I would like to know something. Is there a way to integrate the HP bar of campaign characters into OBS? Like in Critical Role

[lapis geyser]

not likely, there is no public API for DDB

[zinc patio]

I understand, thank you

[lofty sluice]

If you wanted to, you might be able to code a browser plug-in like Beyond20 as it passes HP into Roll20

[dire blade]

Yeah, you could just scrape the page.

[shell wing]

Looking for some help with an aspect of home-brewing a Subclass....

I made the College of Dance for the Bard class. Based exactly off the One D&D playtest College of the same name. And everything for it functions exactly as it should.

However I ran it an issue where when multi-classed with a Barbarian or Monk (Or probably anything with unarmored defense.) In my particular case a Monk.

The character sheet is list AC as 10 +Dex +Wis +Cha....

So the question is... is there some way to get one of these Unarmored Defenses (Monk or Dancer) to supersede the other so it's defaulting to the higher of the two, rather than combining them?

[uneven lantern]

I would have expected it to default to the highest already. 🤔

Can you share a link to your character?

What modifier did you use?

[tacit crystal]

I am trying to make a homebrew background, but I have no clue what "Primary Feature" is supposed to mean. Every time I looked it up, all I got was stuff about primary ATTRIBUTES which seemingly have nothing to do with it. What are primary features and how do I implement them into my homebrew?

[uneven lantern]

I’d recommend making a homebrew copy of one of the official backgrounds, so you can peek inside and see how those were set up.

I don’t even see the phrase “Primary Feature” in there, though. 😅

[tacit crystal]

Feature Name and Feature Description are what i'm specifying

[uneven lantern]

Every background has a feature, like acolyte’s “Shelter of the Faithful”.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/personality-and-background#FeatureShelteroftheFaithful

So the Feature Name for that one would be “Shelter of the Faithful”.

And the Feature Description would be the two paragraphs linked above, describing that feature.

[lucid stratus]

I want to change the damage die of a magic weapon for one of my homebrew items to 1d8+1 and I also want to make the base to hit bonus be +6. how would I do that?

[dire blade]

If you want all that to be fixed and not dependent on things like your PB, you probably want to just create some custom actions for it.

[dense viper]

The damage dice can't be changed on a homebrew weapon. You would have to pick a weapon base that uses the dice you want and make your weapon from there.

The bonus to hit would be a in modifiers.
Modifier type> bonus
Modifier subtype> to hit

And in the fix value filed put the number you want the to hit bonus to be

[lucid stratus]

will that then disregard my proficiency bonus and stat bonusses?

[dense viper]

No. You have to put in modifiers for the weapon to ignore those numbers

[zinc patio]

Hi

Is there a possibility that one of my players has a pet **SQUIRREL **and can add it as an extra to their character sheet?

[slate surge]

Is there an easy, obvious way to change subclass spells on Beyond that I’m missing? What I’m specifically trying to do is switch out my Clockwork Soul Protection from Evil and Good with the abjuration spell Armor of Agathys

[uneven lantern]

You can add pets in the Extras tab. There’s no official statblock for squirrels, but you could add a homebrew one.

[uneven lantern]

That’s not currently possible in the character sheet itself, but you can make a homebrew copy of the subclass and change it there.

[zinc patio]

I could already add it hahaha

[sterile pagoda]

That's adorable!
For a squirrel, I would recommend creating a new monster based on the weasel stat block but removing Keen Hearing and Smell and instead give it a Climb speed of 30 ft.

[hard crystal]

Anyone on who knows how to use Beyond well?

I think I may have found a glitch

[red knot]

Hey, I'm struggling to add a custom race to Beyond, there's a lot to look at and a lot of it is very confusing. Was wondering of anyone was willing to help?/nf

[dense viper]

@weak girder Moving the conversation here as it's more support based.

Do you own Explore's Guide to Wildmount or is it being shared with you?

[weak girder]

I own it. I may have found the problem and it's my misunderstanding. Thank you for your attention.

While going through the toggles and checking the spell list I noticed access is restricted to specific subclasses. This was me not noticing footnotes.

[uneven lantern]

What kind of glitch?

[uneven lantern]

The best general advice is to find an official race that works like yours. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see how it was set up. Steal its secrets. 🤫

But what have you got so far? Where are you stuck?

[hard crystal]

Thank you for responding. I finally figured it out.

[red knot]

I've managed to fill out all the general information, like the name and about the race etc, but I'm struggling with like racial traits and stuff

[uneven lantern]

Struggling with what part of them, specifically?

[red knot]

Well I can fill out the info but then the parts at the bottom confuse me

Uh I can get a screenshot, I'm not great at explaining

These :)

[uneven lantern]

Those all add things to your character sheet in addition to the text description.

Which ones you need, if any, depends on the feature itself.

[red knot]

I understood that part, I was just confused as to how it actually works. There's a lot of buttons and I don't know what a lot of them do lmao

[uneven lantern]

• Options are used when you want to give the player a choice.
• Modifiers have a lot of broad uses, but typically modify data elsewhere on the character sheet.
• Spells add to the Spells section of the sheet.
• Actions add to the Actions section of the sheet.
• Creatures limits the available options in the Extras section of the sheet.
• Additional Spell List expands the spells available for a player to choose.

[dense viper]

Hey spamandtuna, Do you know if homebrew creatures can be added to the creatures section of a homebrew subclass?

[uneven lantern]

Dunno. That's one I haven't tried. 🤔

Given that you can add homebrew spells to the Spells section, and that the Extras tab itself supports homebrew creatures, I would assume it's possible.

But I don't know for sure.

[red knot]

Ooh I see! Thank you so much for your help!

[civic minnow]

Hi, how can I add Grid on DnDBeyond Maps ?

[modest pelican]

[loud rover]

I need help with purchasing a subclass so I can get the artificer class.

For some reason an Error message , keep showing up every time I try to checkout.

I am using my cash app to pay for it. Since it's a visa

[modest pelican]

That sounds like the error may be with your purchasing method

[loud rover]

It's the only credit card I own

[loud rover]

But cashapp is a visa which is why I think I should be able to use it

[uneven lantern]

What kind of error message? Is it giving you a specific error code?

[loud rover]

Hold on

[loud rover]

This

[uneven lantern]

"avs" stands for Address Verification System.

Your bank is rejecting the payment because the billing address you've entered doesn't match what they have on file.

Could be something as small as an extra space of a missing period.

During checkout you'll need to enter the exact address you gave your bank.

[idle arch]

Can you be more specific about what you are struggling with?

[uneven lantern]

No one here will be able to view your homebrew links.

You shouldn't be publishing items that aren't your own original creation.

[idle arch]

When you say "just like Agdon's Branding Iron" do you mean you want to make an item that's inspired by it, or you are trying to recreate it?

[uneven lantern]

The Homebrew Rules & Guidelines apply to all published homebrew and state:

For official D&D Content

• Do NOT submit official fifth edition D&D material to public homebrew. (e.g. submitting the “Alert” feat from the Player’s Handbook is NOT permitted as part of public homebrew)

You can create things like that as private homebrew for use within your campaigns, but publishing it to the global community is not permitted since it's not your own original work.

That said, even as a private homebrew, you won't be able to set a fixed attack bonus like that.

You already did publish it.

Ah!

Very well, then. Sorry. 😅

What I'd recommend for an item like this is to use a custom action directly on the character sheet instead.

That item that was published likely doesn't work as advertised.

[idle arch]

As far as I am aware, there is not a way to tie a clickable button attack action to a magic item, unless it is a weapon, and magic weapons on the D&D Beyond homebrew tool must select a RAW non-magic weapon to be used as the base

[modest pelican]

Do you mean the Beyond20 links?

That's not a D&D Beyond feature

Unless you mean from the action in the character sheet (in which case that screenshot is kinda muddying the waters)

If you do mean in the description as per the screenshot above, that is 100% not a D&D Beyond feature

For example, here's a Mace of Smiting

See, no links or anything

And here it is in the character sheet

I would love to know how to do it with beyond 20 as well.
Beyond20 is an unsupported, third party extension. If you need help getting it to work, you'll need to contact the developer

Here's the only place those modifiers are clickable

Then they're use Beyond20 or some other third party extension

Or maybe we're describing different parts of the character sheet?

Either way, descriptions of items do not have clickable features for rolls as you can see

[dawn tendon]

How do you access your owned character bundles?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by owned character bundles?

[dawn tendon]

I can see that I have this when I look at my current product licenses but can't find any other record of it

[modest pelican]

Ah, that's a collection of character sheet options. You can access them from the character sheet appearance menu

[hexed heath]

Figured out how to do it.

[idle arch]

Thank you for the link! I didn't see this until now, and this is is my favorite dice set i've gotten on D&D Beyond so far

[dawn tendon]

I also saw something about pre made characters also being available are those just the character sheets that are included in the pdf?

[uneven lantern]

Seems like it. If you want them as a D&D Beyond character, you'll probably have to recreate them there yourself.

[dawn tendon]

That's what I thought just making sure. Thanks so much for your help!

[idle arch]

So, after I claim this content, the PDF doesn't show up on my Sources page. Which kinda makes sense, because its just a PDF instead of the normal D&D Beyond digital content format, but how can I view this later on? Do I just need to save the URL or PDF somewhere, or will I be able to navigate to it on D&D Beyond somehow?

[uneven lantern]

AFAIK, you'd need to return to the claim page to re-download it.

[idle arch]

Do you know if this will be available only for a limited time?

[uneven lantern]

At the very least, no end date has been announced.

But if there is one, the claim page would likely remain accessible even after the claim period has ended.

[loud rover]

thanks man

[agile mason]

This is an unconventional request: is it possible to negative filter spells by class?

If I want to filter out spells learnable by my allies' classes so I see the list of spells that only my character can learn, is there any way to do that?

Basically I wanna see the list of spells that it's my job to learn because nobody else in my party can.

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[agile mason]

Gotcha

[harsh vigil]

do you have to buy custom lineage

[uneven lantern]

I think that’s only available with the purchase of the full book.

[opal spade]

Hi,

I was after some help using the Homebrew function to create a new subclass. So far everything is working but I'm having trouble giving an option to the subclass. What I'm wanting to do is:
Glaives, quarterstaves, pikes, halberds, and spears count as finesse weapons for you

This is what I thought would work but I'm not sure, if somebody could help walk me through it that would be absolutely amazing. My other workaround would be to homebrew a bunch of common weapons that have been altered?
[Please ping respond]

[uneven lantern]

That modifier won’t work on a feat.

I don’t think that one’s possible to automate, tbh.

[opal spade]

I wasn't trying to do a feat, I was working on building it into the subclass directly.

Maybe I can't automate it, all good just saved me some extra work for a player that isn;t the best at upkeep haha.

[uneven lantern]

Still, pretty that one works only on weapon magic items.

[uneven lantern]

[surreal light]

[halcyon plover]

ok

[edgy oriole]

Hopefully will be fixed soon

[halcyon plover]

hopeful but just in case it also seem to happen sometimes in the equupment tab

[uneven lantern]

Is there a specific item it happens for?

[halcyon plover]

for for encounter builder the issues seem to be for me with explorer guide to wildermount and theros

seem the equipment menu issues might have been fixeds or its depend on the device if the issues occurs

[gleaming gulch]

So... I got a question. The subscriber perks. I've noticed that this months perks are these Kintsugi dice. However I check my dice collection, I can't find them

[uneven lantern]

Not dice. Character frames.

[gleaming gulch]

But it says the dice?

[uneven lantern]

🧐

I also see dice now.

When I checked earlier, it showed character frames.

[gleaming gulch]

So... did something go wrong?

[uneven lantern]

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

[gleaming gulch]

It does. Also I see another issue... How come the subcription page says master tier is 4.58, but I'm paying 5.99

Before tax

If it's become cheaper then I totaly want to, why would I want to pay more every month

[uneven lantern]

It's "starting at" $4.58.

That's probably the price-per-month if you have the annual subscription.

[gleaming gulch]

... Well thats deceptive...

So $4.58 is like the price if you do yearly?

Per month

Yeah, I just looked at the math. 54.99 a year becomes 4.58 a month

In any case... subscriber perks. Is it supposed to be those dice?

[dense viper]

I am also showing the dice being missing from the dice page but they are showing up under my Current Product Licenses

[uneven lantern]

I'd assume the dice are correct and I just checked before they updated the image.

I don't see them on my account either, though. Let me go poke some kobolds.

[gleaming gulch]

I just checked the dice collection. They aren't in there

[modest pelican]

Which part are you finding to be "deceptive"? The price per month does indeed start at $4.58 if you purchase a yearly subscription

As for the subscriber perk dice, I believe they're still rolling out

[gleaming gulch]

Yeah but it makes it really seem that it's $4.58 a month, when it's not actually a month it's for the yearly.

[uneven lantern]

You're welcome to share your thoughts in #ddb-feedback if you like.

[gleaming gulch]

Yeah, I just orignally came to ask about the dice since I thought a problem had happened

[lofty sluice]

It actually says in the Marketplace The Kintsugi Dice Pack, however despite being in sync, I don't see them in my dice either

Just read the "Still rolling out" bit 😉

[uneven lantern]

They're investigating.

[uneven lantern]

@gleaming gulch @dense viper @lofty sluice i#I’m seeing the dice now! Are you?

[gleaming gulch]

Yup, it's there

When I try to choose a feat for my 6th level fighter, there are no feats available. Why is that?

[edgy oriole]

Do you own the material on DnDBeyond with feats? If not, you'll only be able to have the Grappler feat which comes from the free basic rules. And if you already have that feat... then that's all you can get. You have to own the material or be in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled with that content.

[rocky glade]

Oh! Thanks. I've not paid for anything yet.

What do I have to buy?

[edgy oriole]

Different books may have different feats but you may be specifically interested in the Players Handbook which has a lot of useful materials for players

[loud sedge]

D&D Beyond

Player's Handbook

The Player's Handbook (PHB) is an official sourcebook containing the full core rules of the game. The book is everything a player needs to create heroic characters for Dungeons & Dragons the world’s greatest roleplaying game. Some of this content is available for free as a part of the Basic Rules. Learn more: https://dndbeyond.link/discordPHB

[rocky glade]

I bought a hard copy at a store. I guess that does not count:(

[edgy oriole]

Unfortunately they are different products (same material, different products - a bit like games for Playstation don't work on Nintendo even though they are the same game)

[loud sedge]

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

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

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

[edgy oriole]

You can use the DnDBeyond homebrew tools to recreate what you have in your physical book - just note that you may not publish these homebrew creations to share with the greater community to use. You can create them for your own use.

[rocky glade]

I'll give that a try. Thank you for the advice.

[balmy venture]

Sorry for pinging you after you appear to have gotten an answer
But, if you have a physical book, but want a digital character sheet you could use one of the fillable PDFs on WOTC's website here:
https://media.wizards.com/2022/dnd/downloads/DnD_5E_CharacterSheet_FormFillable.pdf

It will be a bit more difficult without DDB automating the process, but still very doable

[tidal granite]

Guys, I am checking in after a while, are we able to make Homebrew classes yet in D&D Beyond?

[rocky glade]

Thanks

[tidal granite]

I'm sorry never mind, looks like I cannot. I answered my own question. Is this a feature that's on the roadmap?

[lapis geyser]

i dont believe there has ever been any interest expressed by the team to implement homebrew classes. for the most part, focus is on supporting official rules

[edgy oriole]

The devs are aware of the desire for the ability to create full-on homebrew classes but as for if or when it will ever be developed... there has been no statement other than a recognition of the desire.

[fathom mauve]

how do i buy rewarded background from bmt? i can only find link to buy the whole book. i just need the background

Encounter builder doesn't seem to allow wildermounte monsters, is this a bug?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide more information? How is it not allowing them?

[clever hearth]

I own the content

[modest pelican]

Ah, this is a known issue

The team is aware

[clever hearth]

ah okay, is there any etas? no big deal, glad ya'll are aware

[modest pelican]

Nothing that I'm aware of, but I have re-flagged this issue

[hollow void]

I have a question when it comes to making homebrew spells, I’m trying to get a cantrip spell to scale I can’t seem to get it to work.

I have it to where it does 1d10 and want it to do 2d10 at lvl 5, and I’ve been messing around with the “higher level” section for the last 3 hours and only managed to somehow put on a plus 5(no idea where that came from and haven’t been able to get it off either…)

[idle arch]

When it comes to figuring out how to do something in D&D Beyond's Homebrew tool, the easiest way to do so is always to make a copy of something that does what you want to do, and see how they did it. In this case, you can just make a copy of Firebolt, since its also a 1d10 scaling cantrip, and just change the damage type or secondary effect to whatever you want

[hollow void]

Oooooh ok I haven’t thought of that so I’ll try it, hopefully it works bc I need to get this done before tonight, I’ll just cry if it don’t. 😭

[hollow void]

It worked, you’re a life saver TY!

[idle arch]

Happy to help

[hollow void]

What spell would be a good template for this: wind force pressure where everyone in the area has to do a strength save which makes them retrained on a fail? Or should I try to make it from scratch?

[idle arch]

Web is a spell that forces creatures in an area to make a dex save or be restrained. You can use that as a template, changing the save type to strength, I suppose

[hollow void]

Sounds good! That will be my last questions! Tysm!

[harsh vigil]

currently ironing out the kinks in my custom background and i'm wondering why it won't list the features for both my far traveler background characteristics and prismari student background feature

like honestly i don't even care if i can't have two features i just want to make sure my description lists both "far traveler" and "prismari student"

[uneven lantern]

Whatever you put in “Feature Name” and “Feature Description” is what will show on your character sheet.

[slate oriole]

Hi, I'm new to dnd and trying to create a character but I can't get it to let me sign up with my Google account, can someone help me?

[edgy oriole]

Are you using the mobile app or the website?

[slate oriole]

The website

[slate oriole]

Do I need to use the app to do it?

[edgy oriole]

No - you don't need to use the mobile app.

I'm just trying to identify what instructions to give you for logging in and need to know what you're using.

[slate oriole]

Yeah I'm trying to use the website but everything I click on sign up with Google it doesn't do anything, just sits at the same page

[edgy oriole]

Okay make sure you're not using a VPN and configure your browser to allow 3rd party cookies and popups at least for the DnDBeyond domain.

[slate oriole]

Oh ok, and no I don't even have a VPN or even know where to get one tbh

[edgy oriole]

Okay then that's likely not the issue!

But yeah, do make sure you allow third-party cookies and allow pop-ups. DnDBeyond requires them to use the login options from Google and Apple.

[slate oriole]

Where do I do that at 😅

[edgy oriole]

What browser are you using?

[edgy oriole]

What browser are you using?

[slate oriole]

Google

[edgy oriole]

So Chrome?

[slate oriole]

Yeah

[edgy oriole]

Go to the top right near your URL/search bar and click the three dots and select Settings in the menu.

Under Privacy and security, add *.dndbeyond.com to sites allowed to use third-party cookies (or select Allow third-party cookies if you're okay accepting all 3rd-party cookies).

[slate oriole]

All third party cookies are already allowed

[edgy oriole]

Also under Privacy and security, find the Pop-ups and redirects section and add dndbeyond.com to sites allowed to send pop-ups and use redirects.

[slate oriole]

Ah ok

I allowed them but nothing is still happening

[edgy oriole]

After changing the settings, have you restarted the browser?

[slate oriole]

Yes

I'll do it again

[edgy oriole]

Hmmm.

If that's not doing the job, something else may be getting in the way.

[slate oriole]

Do I need a wizard account for it to work or no?

[edgy oriole]

I mean you could set up a Wizard account and then sign-up on DnDBeyond using that.

If you haven't set up a DnDBeyond account yet, that's not a bad approach.

Then it's not tied to your Google or Apple account.

(well not as directly connected I should say)

[slate oriole]

What I don't understand is that I can click on the sign up with wizards and it works but not google?

[edgy oriole]

I don't know - I don't develop Google's oAuth system 😉

[slate oriole]

It's no biggie that it doesn't work I'm just trying to figure out an easy way to create a character without any books or anything

[edgy oriole]

I need to step away but if all else fails, you can reach out to Customer Service for further support: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket
It may take a few days but they may have additional tricks to try and get your account setup and you logged in.

[slate oriole]

Ok, thank you for the help 😁

[neat sparrow]

Hey guys. Where would I go to find a dm thay would work for me in establishing a semi custom campaign with an already established one?

With me not for. Sorry bad wording.

[dense viper]

Your best bet would either be #dm-discussion or #homebrew

[neat sparrow]

Thank you.

Got Strixhaven Prismari feat, any reason why I can't get Chromatic Orb for one of my spells?

Do you also own the PHB or at least that spell?

[little plume]

Heyy so im creating my first campagin and im a littleeeee stuck with the whole monster creation. I know how to use it as a player and roll dice, remove hp ect. BUT how do i do that for my monsters?

[timid drift]

Try the encounter tool on ddb.

[little plume]

Can i use my premade monsters to do that?

[timid drift]

Yes, as long as they are in your homebrew on ddb.

[little plume]

OOh okay lemme try that

much love (:

IT WORKS

You are a genius

thank you

[patent canyon]

how do i add the two handed property onto a homebrew weapon?

[modest pelican]

You can't add/remove properties from weapons via the homebrew tools

You'll need to start with a weapon that has the appriopriate properties

[patent canyon]

so i start with a greatsword and then can change it into the right weapon?

can i also somehow make a weapon dual weapons like dual longswords or something?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by a 'dual weapon'?

[patent canyon]

this is the sword im trying to add for my drow character

[uneven lantern]

Add a Modifier.

• Type: "Weapon Property"
• Subtype: "Two-Handed".

[dense viper]

From the character sheet most light weapons can be customized to be dual wielded. ( Note you only need to have the one in your off hand marked as such)

[rocky lark]

How do i make homebrew races available for my campaign players only

[edgy oriole]

If they are in your collection, they will automatically be available in your campaign for use.

[rocky lark]

Oh ok

[hoary gazelle]

How do I add 2 cantrips and mage's hand to Arcane Trickster?

[dire blade]

Spell list on your character sheet. Click the top right page icon and navigate to the spells tab.

[hoary gazelle]

Am I supposed to fill up all cantrip and spell slots?

[jovial moat]

I don't know if this has been answered already. I searched but it doesn't really seem like it, so I apologize if this is well known: When will Nest of the Eldritch Eye be available?

The press releases say "when you pre-order Eve of Ruin"

which I did pretty much when it was announced.

[deep plover]

Is anyone else having issues with encounter builder not showing some monster stats

[dire blade]

It will stop you when you can’t get any more, but your feature tells you how many you can have so you can check that.

[dire blade]

Yes, this is a known issue. There is sadly no ETA on the fix yet.

[hoary gazelle]

Alright, thanks. I thought I would get to fill slots during sessions

looking for some help with a dnd spell
trying to make a homebrew spell that adds a damage dice for every lvl
ive got at higher levels scaling checked and selected Spell Scale
then I've added a at higher lvl modifier with 1 for lvl, my damage modifier selected, addtional count, and 1 for the dice count.
but it dosnt scale

[regal musk]

Does anyone has problems accessing the dndbeyond website. It says that it has suddenly broke contact.

[lone void]

It's working for me now. Where you trying to access a specific part of the site?

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest making a homebrew copy of an official spell that works like yours. Then you can peek inside and see how that was set up.

I’m guessing you want to change Additional Count to Additional Points.

[little olive]

Does anyone happen to know if I only preorder Vecna: Even of Ruin on DDB (and not the physical+digital) will I get it early on May 7th? The digital purchase page usually makes note of an early release, but I see nothing on it. However, the digital+physical says, if I buy that one, I'll get early release of the DDB one on May 7th. Thank you!

[modest pelican]

Digital early access is only via the digital + physical pre-order
Physical early access is only via select gaming stores

[little olive]

Ooof. It's a bummer that they're limiting early access to only digital+physical. Seems out of step with their prior digital preorders at best, and feels very 'cash grab-y' at worst (to further prod people to buy physical). But... 🤷‍♂️ it's working. LOL. Physical+digital it is, I guess. 😔

Also, thanks for the quick reply!

[modest pelican]

It's how it's always been for the digital + physical bundles

[little olive]

Hm. I could have sworn other digitals only came out early.

[uneven lantern]

Digital early access has never been available except through those bundles.

[little olive]

Oh! Then my mistake! Thanks!

[modest pelican]

The only change has been gaming stores getting physical copies early in line with bundle early access

[uneven lantern]

A digital-only preorder will get you access to the Vecna: Nest of the Eldritch Eye adventure on April 16, though.

[little olive]

Well, I'll def buy Digital+physical to get it early. I feel a lot better about it now, knowing it's always been that way, though. Thanks again!

[uneven lantern]

(So will the bundle)

[shell wing]

Sorry... I was muted and forgot I asked...
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/119711295/xfcaOW

[uneven lantern]

What Modifier did you use?

[shell wing]

Well Monk is Dex + Wis, College of Dance is Dex + Cha

[uneven lantern]

No, in the homebrew itself.

There’s a section called Modifiers which is presumably how you added this.

[shell wing]

I'll send that over as well.

Should this be "Set" instead of "Bonus" for a Modifier type.... and then fixed value of "10 + Dex Mod + Cha Mod"?
If so... how do I write that? "10+{DexMod}+{ChaMod}"?

Yep... that did it. "Set" instead of Bonus.

[mystic fossil]

I'm using ddb for a Dragonlance campaign and chose the Initiate of High Sorcery (Lunitari) option in '4. Description' of the character builder, choosing the cantrip Ray of Frost and spells Disguise Self and Feather Fall. I can see and use Ray of Frost from the 'Spells / Cantrip' section of the player sheet, so it functions correctly. However, in the character sheet under 'Spells / Manage Spells / Spellbook', Ray of Frost is not listed in my spellbook. If I go to 'Add Spells', the 'Learn' button is greyed out, suggesting I've already learned the spell. Why do other cantrips show up in my spellbook but not Ray of Frost? Is there an impact to this?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, “Set” designates it as a separate AC calculation, so then per the rules, it automatically chooses the optimal one.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[mystic fossil]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/120923689

[uneven lantern]

Okay, that all looks normal to me.

For a spell to show in your Spellbook, you need to have added it through the Wizard class.

Which in the case of Disguise Self and Feather Fall, you’ve done in addition to adding those spells through Initiate of High Sorcery.

Conversely, Ray of Frost does not show there because you haven’t added it through the wizard class — only through the feat.

[mystic fossil]

Do I care? Any impact to this? It doesn't upcast and I have it in cantrip area, so it seems like it's just a visual thing

Also, since it came as a feat, it's not something that can be swapped around later, so it doesn't seem like it needs to be in my spellbook anyway

[uneven lantern]

Generally adding a spell to your spellbook just lets you prepare and cast the spell -- which you can already cast through the feat instead.

[mystic fossil]

ok, thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated

[uneven lantern]

There may be minor rules implications if you have a feature that hinges on you casting "a wizard spell". The spells from your feat would not be eligible since you didn't learn them from the wizard spell list.

But if your goal is just to be able to cast the spells to begin with, you can ignore that entirely.

[queen star]

Oh never mind

[steel spoke]

Anyone able to help with a strange issue I ran into this evening? The encounter builder doesn't register that I own certain sourcebooks and so wont show me the stat-block for some reason.

[idle arch]

Are you sure that you own the book, or is it being shared with you via content sharing? Shared content can only be used in the campaign that its being shared through, so you wouldn't be able to use that in the encounter builder

[steel spoke]

Definitely own it.

[dapper plover]

Hey quick question. I just purchased Icewind Dale from DND beyond, but I don't see any of the maps populating when I go to look at it. When purchasing it I was under the impresion that it would have maps attached to it that I could use and put up on the TV for the party.

[idle arch]

If that's the case, then this seems like a technical issue, so you'll probably need to submit a support ticket:
http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[halcyon plover]

its apparntly a know issue with the wildermount book

if you click the vist marketplace link it will show it will take you the page for the stat block

[uneven lantern]

That's a known issue at the moment. They're working on it.

[steel spoke]

Yeah, I can look at the stat block. I can "open" the book and see the bestiary. But it wont show the stat-block in the encounter. For instance: here is an encounter that I made over 2 years ago when I bought the sourcebook that was fine when I made it.

[steel spoke]

Thanks, I have submitted a ticket anyways as per Colossus' suggestion.

[uneven lantern]

Can you check here to make sure your aaccount entitlements are in sync?

[minor granite]

Hello. I'm having an issue with DDB and not sure what broke.

For some reason I can't pull up a list of
Feats anymore to add to characters. I get one or two, and thats it 😦

[modest pelican]

Have you purchased any books that grant feats?

Those feats there are the free options
Grappler is in the SRD
Svirfneblin Magic is from the Elemental Evil Players Companion
Firearm Specialist is from the Critical Role homebrew Gunslinger subclass

[minor granite]

Yeah, have several. But noting that that list is all I'm getting. Not even seeing anything out of the PHB or SRD.

[uneven lantern]

Grappler is the only feat in the SRD, which is indeed shown there.

[idle arch]

Is it possible that the feats from the PHB that you had before were through content sharing? If you are making a character that isn’t part of the campaign that the content was shared through, you would not be able to use it

[uneven lantern]

What’s one specific feat you’ve purchased yourself?

[minor granite]

It is through content sharing, and this character is part of that campaign.

And this specific character has Observant. Was planning to add Sharpshooter

[idle arch]

Perhaps the person who had the subscription that enabled content sharing had their subscription run out

[minor granite]

Hrmm, maybe.

I'll have to ask him about that.

thanks!

[glass goblet]

Are there any APIs for DDB? I see Avrae syncs characters, and there are DDB Importers for Foundry and other services, but I can't find any APIs. I'm looking to build a simple tool that analyzes your character as a fun side project. Thanks! 🙏

[edgy oriole]

There are no public APIs for DnDbeyond.

[glass goblet]

But could I say, make some kind of Avrae bit using my logged in avrae bot to use that data?

[edgy oriole]

Avrae already does that (but also is owned by DnDBeyond/Wizards of the Coast)

You can create custom actions on the front end of your DDB sheet and Avrae can use them

But as noted there is no public API for DnDBeyond tools and services and anything you try and do to connect to DnDbeyond's tools and services outside of existing supported tools would be unsupported and likely to break as DDB continues development.

[glass goblet]

Cool, I'll check that out

[tulip vault]

Anyone know how to make a choose one proficiency in dnd beyond? trying to make a homebrew race.

[uneven lantern]

Depends on what proficiencies you’re letting them choose from.

You could try adding a Modifier with Type: Proficiency. For Subtype, there’s a number of them that start with “Choose” that might suit your needs.

If not, you’d need to use Options. Set each available choice as its own Option, with a Modifier inside that grants the appropriate proficiency.

[tulip vault]

gotcha thanks!

[ember stream]

Want to ask this because the last thing I purchased was from dnd beyond. I'm from the UK and a couple days after I purchased some things from dnd beyond I got a few Non gbp perch fees, no more than 0.50p each. But still it's confused me because when I searched it up nothing is said about getting those kind of fees from a dnd beyond purchase. Just want to know if it's a problem with something else entirely on my end or it is something from dnd beyond?

[naive lodge]

That is usually a currency exchange fee from your bank.

[ember stream]

Yeh but woild dnd beyond do that? Because they've all come in after the dnd beyond purchase?

[lofty sluice]

As someone from the UK, it's a charge that your bank or Credit Card charges for paying in non-GBP

Nothing to do with DDB, other than you were paying in US Dollars

[ember stream]

Was I? Is that what happens

[lofty sluice]

Everything for sale on DDB is in US Dollars

[ember stream]

Oh okay totally didn't pay attention to that fact, thank you, panic over lol

[lofty sluice]

No worries. Some Banks and Cards don't charge this fee, but most do

[mental arch]

When I export a character sheet to PDF I get a blank character sheet. It isn't filled out at all.

[daring hedge]

Trying to become a DM, my first campaign group is asking for a few races that im trying to homebrew through dndbeyond but im having some difficulty figuring out how everyhting connects with the list like it did with draconic ancestory. Any help is appreciated!

[daring hedge]

P.S. if anyone can help me through a call i would be very greatful. Thank! (Please Ping me)

[uneven lantern]

What have you got so far? Where exactly are you stuck?

If you want something that works like Draconic Ancestry, you could always make a homebrew copy of the Dragonborn race and see exactly how they set it up. Steal its secrets. 🤫

[daring hedge]

i tried twice but i think i keep breaking something ;/

[uneven lantern]

Tried what? Broke what? Broke it how?

[daring hedge]

the connection between the liniage and the abilities isnt connecting properly

[uneven lantern]

I… don’t know what that means. 😅

What did you want the “connection” to do? What did it do instead?

[reef beacon]

Not sure if it should go here, but I cannot for the life of me understand where I got two weapon fighting, but DND beyond is showing it for my character. I'm a gloomstalker ranger with archer fighting style. Nothing is showing in the feats section, but my bonus actions section shows two weapon fighting. Anybody else run into this?

[modest pelican]

Two-weapon fighting is a rule all character have access to

It's a general game rule

[edgy oriole]

This channel is for technical support for DnDBeyond tools and services. Please use #character-discussion to discuss characters.

[reef beacon]

Thanks!!

[wild gorge]

Anyone knows if there will be an update for Descent into Avernus, the current maps are kids drawings

[edgy oriole]

I do not believe there is any planned updates for that adventure. But if there are updates, they’ll be announced in #dnd-announcements

[daring hedge]

So, when i chose from the list i cant make it so the type of spider they are (like the ansestory of dragon) connects to what they get with it (like the dragon breath)

[daring hedge]

if you wanna help me through a call i would very much appreciate it 😭

[modest pelican]

Have you tried copying dragonborn and seeing how that's set up?

[daring hedge]

i did twice but i either am misunderstanding it or am breaking it

[uneven lantern]

If you want to give someone a choice, you’ll need to use Options.

Each choice needs to be set up as a different Option.

Everything that depends on that choice needs to be set up inside the Option itself.

[daring hedge]

right, im trying to but it wont show up in the prerequisite section of the option . _ .

cause it showed it for the breath stuff for dragon but not the stuff im putting in

I remade the list with like 6 spider familys, then im TRYING to rewrite the thing so instead of acid breath or fire breath and whatever to be the stuff i made like "Orb-Weaving" or "Net-Cast" but i cant connect them to each other at all

[uneven lantern]

The only other alternatives I could suggest are to either include everything in a single set of options, or simply edit your copied dragonborn instead.

[daring hedge]

tried both, nothign seems to function :(

Ok, that's what I would assume it does. I DM a game with a Ranger PC who has a Wolf companion. But it doesn't show up there...

They have to put it under extras on their sheet?

[brazen pier]

so, my subecription ran out. but when told to deactivate some characters, i'm physically unable to. i selected the ones i wanna deactivate, but i'm given no option to confirm my choice or anything. i can't delete characters in this state either, so....i'm just sort of stuck unable to use or do anything. and the warning message at the top isn't comforting for me in any way as well

[dawn violet]

that text looks like it wants you to select the characters to activate not deactivate. But without the bottom of the screen it's hard to say much else

[brazen pier]

regardless of what it was asking me to do, there's definitely enough selected. but no matter the order and how many i select/unselect, there's nothing i can do after the fact

[dire blade]

It sounds like you should open a support ticket. This is likely beyond our ability to troubleshoot here.

[brazen pier]

damn. thanks

[dense viper]

Have you tried selecting a total of six characters?

[brazen pier]

yep. still nothing i can do

[dire blade]

My only other suggestion would have been to log out, clear your cache, and log back in.

But the text at the top looks fuddled, so it’s probably worth the support ticket.

[crude rose]

So I have a campaign link question I have multiple campaigns going and wanted to sue the master maker artificer subclass in one and I have the grim hollow book but the problem is it shows up in kne campaign but not the other even when I have it toggled in on both

[edgy oriole]

How many campaigns are you in that you personally hevae enabled content sharing? The Master Tier subscription only allows content sharing on up to 5 campaigns. If you have more, you will need to deactivate content sharing on one of them to enable it for another campaign.

[crude rose]

I have 5 and the master tier

May I send a screen shot of what I’m talking about?

[edgy oriole]

Yes you can

Just don’t share info with the campaign link

[crude rose]

Would you like me to send it here or to you?

And it’s just where you would pick the subclass where I’m screenshotting

[edgy oriole]

Here is fine - I need to step away but other moderators and community members can assist.

[crude rose]

Ok

Two campaigns I own both with all optimal ticked on but both show different things even though both have all active

[edgy oriole]

So it looks like this is a homebrew subclass right? Is that homebrew subclass in your homebrew collection?

[crude rose]

No master master is a partners thing and none of those are in my homebrew

[edgy oriole]

I can tell you it is homebrew and not from any of the official or partnered material as the artificer class is not available in the SRD and thus partners can not create subclasses for it as they are not licensed to.

[crude rose]

Master maker is it’s from grim hollow if I’m correct

If it’s not partners mb still don’t know why it won’t show up it’s also not even in my homebrew

Becosie if I’m right it would be there

[edgy oriole]

Okay I've checked with folks in the back - the only Grim Hollow content DnDBeyond offers is https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/loe (Lairs of Etharis) which does not contain this subclass.
What you are seeing is homebrew content, potentially from one of your players (or the DM) in one of those campaigns. It is unpublished because it is copyrighted content recreated vis DnDBeyond homebrew tools and can only be used in campaigns that the user who created it is in.

So to sum up - you need the user who created this homebrew to be a part of the other campaign if you want to use that homebrew tools recreated subclass.

[crude rose]

Ok so one of my players have it that’s what happend

[edgy oriole]

Most likely

[crude rose]

Alright ty sorry about all that had no idea and all I was seeing from google was it was part of grim hollow lol ty for solving it :)

[ocean turret]

if i own a physical copy of the players handbook - do i still need to buy it online for dndbeyond?

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

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

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

[uneven lantern]

If you don’t want to buy the full book, you could buy just the parts you need — like a single subclass.

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

Alternatively, you could use the homebrew tools to recreate that content from your book.

[terse shuttle]

hey so i upgraded from the hero tier to the master and it has bricked all of my characters

https://imgur.com/a/FbPAF61

clicking the select option does nothing, and mobile is equally bricked

[dire blade]

Hrm. Someone else also just had a very similar issue. I’d raise a support ticket here, they’re the only ones who can help. It will also hopefully help alert them to the severity of the issue that’s happening.

[cunning pollen]

Is there a simple way to change a Wakened Dragon's Wrath Longsword into a Greatsword? The longsword is the only thing that pops up.

[lapis geyser]

homebrew a copy of it and make it a greatsword

i believe they didnt implement every weapon type by default, because it would have been way too many

[cunning pollen]

how would I copy the item?

[lapis geyser]

make a homebrew copy, use that item as the template

From the Support thread on the forum

[cunning pollen]

Oh, I got it thank you

[visual hollow]

I just started using DDB, and several of my players keep losing access to their characters. Two of them joined via the campaign link, one of them used a sheet I made unassigned.

They don't see any characters when they go to their characters or in the campaign screen. What's the issue?

To reiterate, they had their characters briefly. But now they've vanished. I can still see the characters however, and that it's "their" character

[modest pelican]

1. Did they properly claim the character?
2. Are they logging in with the right credentials (D&D Beyond will auto-create a new account if you log in with the wrong details)

[visual hollow]

1. As far as I know. They used the link and claimed it, it shows their username (auto generated, looks like)

2. This may have something to do with it. I don't know how any of them chose to make their accounts, whether it be through Google or Discord or what.

I have noticed the second sheet my player made after they lost the first has a different ddb user name

[modest pelican]

auto generated, looks like
This might suggest a mis-match in accounts

I have noticed the second sheet my player made after they lost the first has a different ddb user name
This would confirm it

[visual hollow]

OK. That's one of the players. The other 2 have only used 1 account as far as I know, it just doesn't show their character anymore when they attempt to join campaign. Says make a new one

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond allows 3 different ways to register

• Google
• Apple
• WotC account

If you make an account using one, and then try to sign in with the other without first linking it to your existing account, that will create a new account

Alternatively, if you make a DDB account using Google account A, then try to log in with Google account B, that will also make a new account

[modest pelican]

Why are they attempt to join again if they've already claimed characters? If they do that, assuming there are no more unclaimed characters and they don't have any characters they've made, they won't have an option to join

The join link is just a first time join link, it's not how you should regularly access the campaign

[visual hollow]

I suppose a lot of this is just confusion and miscommunication about the user interface -- there are 6 players, it was difficult to understand what was going on on their end. I'm gonna assume rn it's an authentificaiton type issue

[visual hollow]

Right -- I'm thinking maybe they're doing that and accidentally making new accounts + sheets by mistake

[modest pelican]

If they want to access the campaign, they should go to "My Campaigns" from the collections menu

[visual hollow]

Is there a little tutorial that goes over beyond functions as a dm/player? It seems intuitive enough, just has some quirks about access and ownership

[modest pelican]

I don't believe so

[mossy solstice]

how do i add a bonuis feat to my character im creating in dndbeyond? when i press manage feats i do not get the option to add a feat..

[dense viper]

You should just be able to hit the add button on the feat you want.

[mossy solstice]

but i only get this?

[dire blade]

In the "SETTINGS" in top-right, you need to override Feat Prerequisites. You, uh, also need to own the feat on DNDBeyond or have it shared with you to add it to a character.

[dense viper]

Some feats have prerequisite that have to be meet before you can add them but you can do as Dusk said and override that

[lapis geyser]

Those are the free feats, you need to purchase any others to have access to them, or have them shared with you in a campaign

[hardy dagger]

Hello I need help in making an action that is granted by a sub-race to deal just damage equal to proficiency bonus once per turn on hit, like how Aasimar Radiant Soul with the wings and stuff and the same if i want the damage be driven by level

[lapis geyser]

Your best bet is to make a copy of that race, and see how they set it up.

[hardy dagger]

The Idea is from a legacy sub race [Scourge Aasimar]and i dont have access

Can i ask as well how to make an effect work in beyond? for context i am trying to make an transformation that will last 10 rounds [aka 1 min] and have a special and such

[lapis geyser]

the sheets dont support temporary effects. the best you can do is create a magic item that does what you want, and equip it when you want the effect on

also, new aasimar is the one that scales with proficiency, legacy scaled with level

[hardy dagger]

yes i am using the level scaled like the legacy

i just wanted to know how to do both

i want the transformation work like the new aasimar but i cant access it for somereason

[lapis geyser]

i should point out, that this feature doesnt actually add anything to rolls or anything on the sheet, just shows the text for the feature on your sheet.

[hardy dagger]

yes i have noticed but what bugs me that there is actions that doesnt require the damage thing but still shows it off

can i show you in #ddb-avrae-commands ?

[lapis geyser]

i dont know anything about avrae unfortunately, if your'e trying to make it work with avrae, youd probably be better off asking there

in #ddb-avrae-help

[hardy dagger]

ah alright sorry for repling late

thanks for help

[teal ember]

I don't know if this is where I'm supposed to go but let's give it a shot. My friends invited me to play dnd and I said yes but I know absolutely nothing about dnd and now they are having me make a player. I don't want to seem dumb and come to them for help so can someone explain the basics please

[edgy oriole]

Please check the pinned messages in #dnd-newcomers

[sacred dune]

Is it expected that the 'Featured' section of the DDB Marketplace doesn't have an 'owned content' toggle? The other sections do seem to have one. Just wondering.

[river current]

Is there a way (using website or app) to roll hit dice when going up a level that it automatically populated into hp? Or are you just supposed to use the dice rolling and then add it manually? (If that makes sense) (And this is the proper place to ask)

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you have to roll it and then manually add the amount rolled.

[river current]

Ok thats what I thought. Thanks!

[harsh stump]

Hi, I have a very niche question, and would very much appreciate any feedback.
This is regarding the D&D beyond educator license.

[edgy oriole]

What's the question?

[harsh stump]

With this license, how would I be able to share resources with my students?
is it similar to the campaign sharing feature? Similar to the master tier is there a limit to how many people I can share the content with?

I can’t find much information about it online, and would like to know a little bit about the specifics. Trying to do what I can to help my students in regards to an affordable option for their after school club.

[edgy oriole]

Let me check with folks as I'm not very familiar with that license and what is included and allowed with it.

[fading sky]

In the Magic Item Creator, is this supposed to allow an item to give additional attunement slots? If so, how does it function?

Nevermind, I found what I'm after.

[heavy nest]

How would I go about reporting a typo in the Red Dragon's Tale pdf? The premade Cleric shows as 30 hit points when it should be 43.

[uneven lantern]

Why 43?

[heavy nest]

Base 5th level cleric with fixed HP would be 28 (8+5+5+5+5). They have a +2 CON so add 10 more, for 38. They are a Hill Dwarf with Dwarven Toughness so add 5 more for 43.

[uneven lantern]

Is there something that indicates these characters were built using fixed HP?

[dire blade]

All of the other characters are.

The fighter has 44 HP, which is 10+6+6+6+6 +10 (CON) = 44. The rogue has 28 HP which is 8+5+5+5+5 +0 (CON) = 28, etc.

The wizard is also correct at 22, which is 6+4+4+4+4 +0 (CON) = 22.

[uneven lantern]

Got it. Thanks!

I'll try and pass that along.

I don't see anything that explicitly states they're a hill dwarf, but I've noted that the increase would apply if so.

[astral silo]

hey guys

can one of u help me rq with beyond?

[dire blade]

Yeah, I was struggling with that, but I backed out its stats and I think it has to use the +1 WIS from hill dwarf to reach 18 WIS at level 5. They could've just rolled stats or used some optional features or whatever, though, so it's still unclear.

Either way, 30 HP is wrong. If they're a mountain dwarf then they'd have 8+5+5+5+5 +10 (CON) = 38 HP, still 8 more than they have in the PDF. It looks like the PDF just took 28 and added +2 for the CON score, which is incorrect.

[astral silo]

idk if my site is bugged but i dont have access to feats other then grappler for some reason, even at higher lvls

[edgy oriole]

You need to own the books with the other feats to use them

[astral silo]

but i have players hand book

[uneven lantern]

Or have your character assigned to a campaign that's sharing those feats.

[astral silo]

and its from where i get grappler to begin with

[uneven lantern]

Grappler is available in the free Basic Rules.

It's the only feat available in the free Basic Rules.

[astral silo]

so why can i access the phb if i dont own it?

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, though, is there a checkmark next to the feat you're looking for?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

Someone might be sharing it with you through a campaign.

Shared character options are only available for characters assigned to that campaign.

[edgy oriole]

Also the free basic rules are not the Players Handbook book

[uneven lantern]

If you own the feat yourself, you can use it anywhere you like.

[astral silo]

ngl that might be it lol

let me check

yep that was it

danm i hate beeing an brazil dnd player, everything is 5x as expensive to me to buy

[dire blade]

You could create your character inside the campaign where the book(s) are shared with you and then have it leave the campaign when you are done.

[uneven lantern]

You could also buy just the feat you need instead of the whole book. Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

You could even get all 41 of those feats for $3.99 USD.

[inner kettle]

why does it say "charisma" as something recoverable?

[edgy oriole]

Was charisma modified sometime before this long rest?

[outer crescent]

I NEED Support because I've never been so unreasonbly infuriated with this site.

I haven't played in a while, and as such I ended my subscription a lil while back. I'm now wanting to play a new campaign and wanting to use the DnD Beyond Character creator. problem is I have 10 characters from when I used to have a subscription and now only have 6 slots.

I'm more than willing to delete all of my characters to free up space to make more BUT THE WEBSITE WONT LET ME it asks me to select 6 to activate and the rest will be deactivated until I make space, which again I'm more than willing to do, but upon selecting 6 of them, NOTHING HAPPENS there is no confirm button, there is no activate button, reloading, refreshing, nothing does anything, I can select up to 6 and then that's literally it.

I can't open the characters, I cant delete the characters, I cant confirm which ones to actually activate, all I can do is select them, and unselect them, regardless of anything at this point my entire account is locked from character creation because I CANT DO ANYTHING

I have never been this unreasonably infuriated by the website and normally love using it which is why I am almost always subscribed, but as of now I literally cant use the site and it's very quickly making me despise it

[modest pelican]

You will need to submit a support ticket so someone with the right level of credentials can fix whatever is stuck in your account

[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.

[inner kettle]

nope

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[inner kettle]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/119159334

[lapis geyser]

It's resetting the uses for Fey touched i think, but it is weird that it shows up as "Charisma" instead of Fey touched

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I was just about to say.

[inner kettle]

that was my thought too lol, weird

[ocean portal]

I got Candlekeep Mysteries digitally and it looks like the player version of the full poster map is not really included? I see the half map in the Candlekeep Locations sections but that's it.

[dire blade]

There should be a button under it that says “Player Version.”

[ocean portal]

Yes I know, it only gives the half map.

I double checked the downloadable image... still half.

[dire blade]

Huh. You’re right actually. I never noticed this because in Roll20’s version you get both. Have you checked the Maps tool? It might have both.

[ocean portal]

No sub 😦

[dire blade]

That definitely feels like an oversight that they would fix. You should post it to #ddb-feedback and hopefully a mod can pass it on to the devs.

[ocean portal]

Aight done, thanks Dusk.

I grabbed one off the fandom wiki so I should be fine for now.

[uneven lantern]

Maps seems to have only the smaller one. 🤔

[gleaming gulch]

Soooo.... not sure where to ask this... But any reason why the script stuff isn't working? Like I figured if I used this stuff in the hoemrbew maker it would make it rollable, but while it is, it's also making it look like a mess

[modest pelican]

That isn't the supported syntax for dice expressions

[gleaming gulch]

I mean that is the stuff it automatically put in

[modest pelican]

I don't think it did, I think what's happening is that Beyond20 is causing the issue

[gleaming gulch]

Not the case. If I open another stat block, it works

[modest pelican]

Because there aren't any roll syntaxes for critical or expand, so that's not from the auto insert

[modest pelican]

I assure you, it's Beyond20 causing the issue, either at insertion or rendering

[gleaming gulch]

Alright, I turned it off and it still seems to be broked

[modest pelican]

Then it's causing the issue at syntax insertion. You'll need to remove all that Beyond20 code and do it again

[gleaming gulch]

I tried it again with beyond20 off and it makes the code the same

It's not a beyond20 issue

[modest pelican]

That's the forum dice roller

That's the button to the right of the one you highlighted here

[gleaming gulch]

I have no idea how to use this then. Also I ment to highlight the other, sorry

Like do I just pit +7 to hit, 1d6+4 peicing? And it does the rest?

[modest pelican]

Check out this article

[gleaming gulch]

Alright, Though I think wish it was a bit easier than having to learn all the syntaxes. I'm terrible at rememebing that stuff. Something like that dice roller menu is a lot easier. Fill in the blanks, it does the rest

[modest pelican]

It's easier because it's a simpler system. The stat block dice roller is more complicated

[gleaming gulch]

I don't see how that is but okay

[modest pelican]

The forum dice roller system just inserts snippets that are rendered as a result once when you post
The stat blocks don't do that, they render a button that interacts with the dice and game log systems and includes meta data such as roll type, attack name, or damage type

Two entirely different systems, the latter more complex than the former

[gleaming gulch]

You miss interpreted what I was trying to say then. I'm saying it would be easier if it could create a menu to past all this down by filling out a list. Whats the to hit mod?: +7, How much damage?: 1d4. And so on

Then once filled out it pasted the code

I really suck at stuff like this so I'm just copy and pasting and replacing any key words I recognize and hope for the best. Becuase I would not be able to do this from scratch

[frank trout]

Can you edit the base damage dice of homebrewed weapons without adding additional damage using the modifiers? For example, if I wanted a great sword to do 5d6+10 without modifiers instead of whatever it is normally, am I able to change that

[uneven lantern]

No

You'd have to use modifiers.

Alternatively, you could create a custom action directly on the character sheet.

[frank trout]

Welp, time to suggest something on #ddb-feedback

[frank trout]

That’s a thing? Cool

[uneven lantern]

Yeah. Head to the Actions tab and hit “Manage Custom” in the top right corner.

[ripe karma]

hi there,
I'm testing Maps in D&Dbeyond for the first time, I just subscribed.
I invited a player on the map, and he can load tokens, move monsters, delete them, etc
He seems to have the same rights than me at controling the environment. Is it normal ?

[uneven lantern]

Yes

Once you’ve placed tokens on the map, you and your players can begin controlling them. It’s important to note that, currently, anyone viewing a map can move any token on that map, so it is possible for players to move monsters and each other's tokens.

[ripe karma]

Ah ok thank you !

[versed quest]

when making a homebrew subclass, how do you get the spells to appear as known or prepared in character builder? The spells appear as usable on the character sheet, and I see it affecting the count of known spells, but there is no display to show in detail what spells are known.

[uneven lantern]

I think that only works for spells added using the “Additional Specific Spells” field.

But the way that field works changes depending on the class.

I’m not sure if it does anything at all for wizards.

But if there’s an official subclass that works in the way you want, you could make a homebrew copy of it and see how they set it up.

[versed quest]

I haven't seen an official subclass that adds spells like this yet. I see it working for Paladin withthe "Additional Specific Spells" but for Wizard and Sorcerer adding spells there doesn't seem to affect anything

FWIW I did add these spells to that list also for the screenshots above

I've tried all of these together and various combinations of the settings.

[gleaming gulch]

When adding a monster stat block to a character sheet in the extras tab, how come it doesn't show any of their bonus actions?

[modest pelican]

That's a current limitation of the extras sidebar

Bonus actions as a dedicated section were added after the extras section was added

[gleaming gulch]

Well thats not helpful... crap. I kinda need them visable lol

[modest pelican]

Uh, sorry? Just answering your question

[gleaming gulch]

I know, just... now I gotta think of a work around lol

[civic depot]

Hi there, quick question about opportunity attacks. If the PC is wielding two weapons do they roll for both, or do they nominate one weapon? Same for creatures who have multiple attack options. Cheers!

Hello! I preordered Venca: Eve of Ruin on D&D Beyond, but I'm having trouble finding Nest of the Eldritch Eye, which I believe has an April 16th release date.

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

[modest pelican]

It hasn't released yet

There'll be an announcement when it releases later today

[vocal night]

I see! Thanks!

[jovial moat]

Came here looking fFor the same thing. Good to know, thank you!

[vivid flicker]

its up under sources if you qualify for it

[jovial moat]

hrm. I did pre-order the physical and digital bundle. So I should have it right now?

I see the page but it's only a link to the order fFor Eve of Ruin. I dont have the Eldritch Eye adventure

[modest pelican]

Go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources#Adventures

It'll be listed there

[jovial moat]

ahhhh I fFound the issue!

Slightly more complicated ...

Since I preordered the bundle, I had to unlock the Activation Key, over on https://dndstore.wizards.com/us/account#/orders

I now have access to the Nest of the Eldritch Eye

SO EXCITING! Okay gonna go geek out. 🙂

[tiny thicket]

Is there a way to move the Improved Divine Smite up to actions? that way it shows on top when all is selected?

[dire blade]

It's not an "Action" so no, though what I would recommend is to click "Improved Divine Smite," select to hide it, then create a new custom action up in the higher section to replace it.

[livid hearth]

Is there any way to add my own alignment to DDB?

I am playing a character that doesn't fit any of the alignments, and I want to change it to something goofy, as an Easter egg to my DM.

[edgy oriole]

Just leave it blank and add notes in the note section

[proper flame]

Are maps down for everyone right now?

[edgy oriole]

Yeah it appears maps isn't loading as expected. I'll check with folks in the back.

Looks like there is a technical glitch and the kobold engineers are busy trying to identify the root issue and fix it.

[amber ocean]

Looks like it's fixed! 🎲

[olive cobalt]

Is there any way to get homebrew monsters I've created to display as an option under Add a Class Feature->Creatures with Create a Subclass? I seem to only be able to select from core monsters none of my homebrew monsters are showing up there.

[edgy oriole]

Monster stablocks are different than subclasses or races. We strongly recommend finding an existing subclass/race that has similar mechanics to what you're trying to achieve and create a copy from it to see how it was created/structured and work from that/

[dusty turret]

Im currently trying to make a warlock subclass that has options you can choose from in some of its feature, though when i go into the character builder the options just dont show up and no mater what i do they still wont show up

How could i fix this?

[dusty turret]

I even tried turning on "Has options" and it still doesnt show up

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear.

And if you know of an official subclass that works in the way you want, you could make a homebrew copy of that to see how it was set up.

But assuming it’s been more than 15… you didn’t check “Is Granted” for those Options, did you?

You probably want that unchecked.

[dusty turret]

Just checked back now and they have appeared!

So yeah i just had to wait

[brittle cape]

I'm having problems initializing the d&d beyond maps, every time I try the message below appears:
"Our steps got out of sync thanks to Otto's Irresistible Dance.
Please refresh to help us save our Wisdom Saving Throw!

(We ran into an error while loading the map. If this continues to persist, please contact support.)"

Ps: I contacted support and got no response...
I'm not using any extensions on Chrome, I've tried it on other browsers and it didn't work either

What can I do?

[dire blade]

Support is liable to be the best means of getting an actual response here. You should just give them enough time to reply, as their response time isn't immediate.

It sounds like that error is just something beyond regular debugging to address. You could try clearing your cache and history and relogging in to see if that helps, as maybe some cached data is corrupted, but that would be my only guess if you've confirmed you have no extensions installed.

[brittle cape]

okay

I will do this and get back

No, it keeps giving an error, it opens on the cell phone browser but on the computer it doesn't, this can happen in any browser

[brittle cape]

If it opens normally on a cell phone, why doesn't it open on a computer using the same browser?

[lofty sluice]

One of my players had the same issue last night and a reboot of his PC fixed the issue

[brittle cape]

Okay, I will try

Reboot or Format the computer?
Because I reset it but the problem still persists

[naive lodge]

Disable any extensions, clear the cache and cookies, make sure that no security software is interfering, turn off any VPNs, and try again.

[brittle cape]

I already did this, unfortunately it's not working yet 😦

[naive lodge]

Other than that, given that it works on a different device, which says it's local to that device, the only thing I can suggest is trying a different network and making sure your clock is in sync.

[brittle cape]

I checked and everything is correct in this regard

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in a different browser?

[brittle cape]

On computer, yes

I tried Edge and Opera as well as Chrome but all 3 gave the same problem on the computer

[edgy oriole]

Are you using an antivirus system on the computer that’s not Windows Defender? If so, perhaps it blocking things…

[brittle cape]

No, only Windows defender

[edgy oriole]

Okay well I’m pretty much out of ideas - I’d suggest creating a Customer Service ticket and letting the devs look into things. See #ddb-support message

[brittle cape]

Okay, to add the information: this happened right after the map enhancement update for "Vecna: Nest of the Eldritch Eye on April 16 (yesterday)

[brittle cape]

For curiosity's sake, roughly how long does it take for them to take a look?

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered in the order they’re received, so it all depends on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

No idea what the current expected wait time is.

[brittle cape]

Oh yes, ok ok, Thank you, I'll wait for their response now 😊
Thank you also to everyone who gave tips and tried to help!!!

[brittle cape]

Hi guys, so I was curious to try something and it ended up “working”.
In Windows safe mode, the maps opened normally, but here comes the strange thing...
I didn't install anything, I'm not using any extensions, I have clean caches and my antivirus is the default Windows one. In this case, does anyone have any idea what it could be?

[lapis geyser]

It's definitely something on your computer then, likely some kind of VPN or Firewall

If you have a ticket open already, I would update it with this information. Just make sure you don't submit another, as that bumps you to the bottom of the queue

[brittle cape]

The strange thing is that I don't use any VPN...

[brittle cape]

I received a response now about it and they only said what had already been done here, I updated it informing about the discoveries

[edgy oriole]

Are you on a cell network provided internet by chance? I wonder if the internet provider is doing something crazy with "shaping" (e.g. managing) network traffic that's breaking things.

(Basically mobile phone company providing internet)

[brittle cape]

No, my pc work just in ethernet

[edgy oriole]

But is your Internet Service Provider a cell phone network company? Some of those have been known to do weird network shennanigans like I mentioned and it's kind of like a ISP-provided VPN if you will. It can mess stuff up.

Or even if your internet router has some network traffic security settings?

[brittle cape]

idk, How can I see this?

[edgy oriole]

You would need to have some way of connecting to your router. Did it come with a manual or does your ISP provide a tool to access it (often a mobile app)?

I'm just throwing it in as a possibility - this level of network control is generally rare unless you're actually running a VPN or some other security setup knowingly.

[brittle cape]

manual. I enter the IP in the web browser and then I will have access to the settings

[edgy oriole]

Okay yeah you can look in your router settings and see if there's a security or network security settings (or firewall?) and see if anything there might be configured to block certain kinds of traffic.

[brittle cape]

okay, i will see and return

firewall and security settings there is nothing, just the option to create

[edgy oriole]

Okay well that rules out the router (it does not rule out your ISP doing weird stuff unless you've tried on a different device on the same network and didn't have any issues).

[brittle cape]

yes, I believe it, because in safe mode I was also using the same router with the same settings

[edgy oriole]

Have you disabled all browser extensions and tested? (I think you said you did)

[brittle cape]

Yes

I checked again and everything is disabled.

[edgy oriole]

Welp I guess we'll need to see if customer support and devs have any other ideas.

[brittle cape]

okay

Can I do anything else to help now?

[edgy oriole]

One last thing is to try running the browser again with no extensions, open up the browser's web developer tools and open the console tab, then try loading maps again and see if there's any red error messages that show up in the console.

That might give us a clue of what's failing/getting blocked.

[brittle cape]

I'm going to go crazy lol,
there are 7 failures, do i sand here?

[edgy oriole]

Add it to the customer service ticket - that can be really helpful for the developers to look at.

[brittle cape]

okay

I sent them all now

[brittle cape]

It also shows a peculiar message I would say... it says:
source map failed to loaded
DevTools can't show authored sources, but you can debug the deployed code
Error loading url (and then show the url
)

[uneven lantern]

If it works in Windows Safe Mode, the problem is unlikely to be due to an external source like your router or ISP.

[edgy oriole]

It's a weird one - they've tried with all extensions disabled as well and it still fails.

[brittle cape]

So is it likely that only developers will be able to help?

[brittle cape]

yes unfortunately, I already sent all the images of the log console

[edgy oriole]

Well we are pretty sure the issue is somehow with your device/browser. But how and why is a bit beyond us poor moderators and perhaps a developer would have more ideas to try.

[brittle cape]

Oh yes, well, I hope we can fix it by Saturday (I have a live to do and I chose beyond as my main tool lol)

[uneven lantern]

The most likely cause is a setting on your computer.

Since it works on another device and in safe mode, we can confidently say it’s not your account that’s the problem.

Since multiple browsers are affected, it’s clearly not a browser-specific issue like a browser extension.

And since it works in safe mode, again, we can rule out any external causes like your modem or your ISP on their own.

It could still be a computer setting related to your internet connection, but it would be something on the computer itself, not the modem.

[brittle cape]

It only works via ethernet, it does not have a wifi card
Maybe the ethernet is messed up? But wouldn't that also compromise any other resource? I could send you photos of the console log if you want

and also until yesterday it was working normally, I didn't do any different installations or configurations, I just started the maps normally after the update (the maps themselves) and this problem started

[uneven lantern]

I didn’t say anything about wifi.

But if it works in safe mode with the same internet connection, then it can’t be a cause of the internet connection itself.

If it was the internet, then switching to safe mode wouldn’t change anything.

[brittle cape]

oh, ok

sorry, I got it wrong, lol

[brittle cape]

about this, any ideas?

[dire blade]

It works in safe mode but not regularly? The only thing that tells me is that you probably have malware / a virus / some invasive app interfering with your internet browser. If this were me I'd do a OS reinstall because that suggests some pretty nasty stuff, but you could possibly sort it out by comparing the list of active system services and processes running between safe mode and normal mode. This is classic OS debugging, however, and really isn't something that anyone here or anyone in support would be able to help with.

[brittle cape]

ok, i will reinstal the os...

[brittle cape]

if the windows defender If don't find any malware, will I need to reinstall the system?

[naive lodge]

I'd recommend double checking that nothing has installed an extension for you. That's the most likely difference in private mode vs not.

[brittle cape]

I actually checked and it wasn't installed, I don't use extensions btw

[meager condor]

I'm running the Vecna: Nest of the Eldritch Eye oneshot soon and I'm trying to set up the campaign in D&D Beyond but it's not listed with the other premade adventures, even though I own it. What's going on?

[uneven lantern]

When you select “Create a Premade Campaign”?

Only the three options shown there are available as premade campaigns — all ones that are freely available to all users.

If you click the normal “Create Campaign” instead, you can use it for Vecna or anything else.

[meager condor]

Oh okay—thanks!

[spice acorn]

Does dnd beyond already account for proficiency with weapons when making an attack roll?

[dawn egret]

yes

[vast shell]

hey there ! trying to add a custom counter to a subclass i m making in DnD beyond, I'm having trouble finding how to do it. Anyone could help me ?

[worldly moon]

yo, i'm making a magic weapon that can shapeshift into other weapons the user likes, is there a way in dnd beyond homebrew creations to add other damage dice along with the base weapon damage dice?

[uneven lantern]

You need to add an Action with a Reset Type. After you save it, look for the Limited Use section at the bottom of the page.

[uneven lantern]

Not as something that can be rolled separately, no.

The user could add custom actions directly on their sheet, or pair it with a homebrew feat instead.

[patent sun]

I have an issue. Why do I have access to outlander background, even tho I don't have phb on beyond?

[uneven lantern]

Is that character in a campaign where that background is being shared?

[patent sun]

No

[uneven lantern]

Is there a background called Outlander in your My Homebrew Collection?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection

[gleaming pasture]

is there a way to add a bonus to attack rolls in the modifier tab on homebrew? I can only chose ranged, meelee, spell attacks, but not general attack rolls

[patent sun]

No. It's just the outlander background

[edgy oriole]

If you go to your DnDBeyond profile and click on the Marketplace tab, does it show that you've specifically purchased this background as a single item purchase?

[uneven lantern]

An easier check would be to see if there's a checkmark next to it on this page:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

Actually, let's back up. When you say you can access it, does that mean you're able to open this page, or that you're able to assign it to a character?

[patent sun]

hu. It doesn't show on marketplace any individual purchases, as I don't also recall having done individual purchases, but on the phb bage it has the checkmark. I have content share from a campaign so I could even through that, but originally I noticed it after having used it on one character, and then later on noticing that outlander is in fact not basic rules, at which point I first decided to simply ignore the option and not use it on future characters, until now that I thought I should actually ask about it

[lapis geyser]

if it has the checkmark, you have purchased it

[patent sun]

tho it also shows as individually bought items for tough, magic initiate and skilled, tho I do believe at least tough and magic initiate come from owning spelljammer, where those feats are part of the backgrounds.

[lapis geyser]

you can always do as undying suggested, and check purchase history and product licenses at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[patent sun]

I did

And i haven't bought it

[uneven lantern]

A checkmark on that page indicates that you own the background yourself.

[patent sun]

Yeah

That's the weird part

[vestal pond]

Ok so I have a issue going on with my account. I keep trying to change my subscription as the card I used was denied. But when I hit to change it, it takes me to the free trial page for the master tier. Clicking on that free trial link only sends me to the free trial page. Also the site acts like I have master tier and don't have master tier. Check the picture below on my character's page.

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend contacting customer support.

?tag ddb support

[lofty holly]

In my character's short rest tab, I have 5 hit die slots. Once I roll any amount, I can't "reset" those rolls unless I take a long rest. Ie, I unclick the slot, but it won't let me roll in that particular slot unless I take enough long rests. That doesn't seem right to me. Does anyone know how this is supposed to work?

[lapis geyser]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/adventuring#Resting

[lapis geyser]

That supports the rules.

[lofty holly]

Oh ok. So everything is in order?

[vast shell]

so still making this, now that i have a limited use counter, how do i go about making other action that use this counter ?

like i have three actions dependent of this counter and they use one point out of the counter- and i have a conditions that also let me refill that counter by one.

so i need four action dependant on that counter.

[modest pelican]

You can't I'm afraid, the player will just have to remember to increase/decrease that counter when they use the abilities

[vast shell]

I am said player- i see i can add a snippet into another action, could i possibly write code that will manipulate the custom counter ?

[modest pelican]

That wouldn't work, you'll just have to remember to track usages using the counter

[vast shell]

mh guess I'll have to add custom action with avrae then

make me think i should probably look how the battlemaster does it. maybe it ll give me insight into it

or the soul knife. I ll look at the soul knife

[uneven lantern]

Avrae won’t import any homebrew actions except for simple attacks (an attack roll + damage).

If counters are involved, you’d have to make it in Avrae anyway.

[sterile beacon]

Does anyone know if D&D Beyond will continue to use the current rules, switch to the new rules later this year, or have both and allow users to choose?

[edgy oriole]

Nothing has been announced yet.

[ornate summit]

Does anyone know how to add a spellcasting feature to a martial class’ subclass that would work like the wizard’s spellcasting does? (Prepared, able to know every spell on their spell list)

[modest pelican]

You can't add spellcasting to a subclass other than fighter and rogue (and it must follow the eldritch knight/arcane thief format)

[ornate summit]

How do you add a spellcasting feature like those?

[uneven lantern]

You can make a homebrew copy of either one if you want to see exactly how it was set up.

[ornate summit]

I don’t have either of those subclasses

[hot bay]

I'm looking for an alternative to pen and paper and found this app
is there any limitations to the free model apart from the 6 character limit?
like, can I use the app to play with the character, then when I'm done with it, delete it and create more? No level restrictions, time restrictions etc.

[edgy oriole]

Correct. If you want more character slots (and monthly subscriber perks) you can get the Hero subscriber tier.

More info can be found here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscribe

[hot bay]

Excellent, since I only need 1 slot

[hoary onyx]

[brittle cape]

Did the maps server crash? Is anyone else like this?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I just get a page that says "Something went wrong!" Is that the same thing you're seeing?

[brittle cape]

yep,
apparently now it's back

[uneven lantern]

The devs are taking a look anyway.

[rocky glade]

I want to add the Heroism spell that I earned in an adventure, but it is not in the list available to my Arcane Trickster Rogue. It is in the Player's Handbook which I own the digital version of. Why do I have to unlock another book and which one is it?

[brittle cape]

I think the heroism spell is one of the basic rules... you may have already unlocked it...
(I could be wrong)

see on the spell page if it is available for the class/subclass

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, Heroism is in the Basic Rules, which means every user has access to it.

But arcane tricksters choose from the wizard spell list, which does not include Heroism. (It’s normally on only the bard and paladin lists.)

So if you and your DM still want to add it, you’d need to go through the homebrew system.

[ivory prism]

i

I 'm finishing a character in Dndbeyond and I want to add the Tough feature. How can I?

[ivory prism]

and/or unlock all features in the marketplace? I dont find them. In the feature options in the builder, I can only add the "grappler" feature 😦

[ivory prism]

forget it...I found it...

[frozen quail]

Hey i have a question

I have the Book of many things and unfortunately all the cards came shuffled up, does anyone know the right order they came? All 66 cards?

[lime void]

I'm homebrewing a magic item, but can't figure out how to increase a wielders ability score by +1

Does anyone know how?

@modest pelican Do you know?

I thought it'd be "Bonus > Choose an Ability Score > CHA > Fixed Value 1

[winged bramble]

I think step 2 and 3 are combined? In the 'Subtype' box you can select the specific scores.

And then the reason I was coming in, can snippet codes still not be used in items?

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/25930-using-snippet-codes-in-your-homebrew

[uneven lantern]

No, they can’t.

[worn oyster]

Hi, I was trying to add + dice modifiers to magic items to emulate spell effects, like Bless +1d4 to Saving Throws. Seems it does not work. Any way to make it work, or maybe is it part of roadmap to have this working at some point?

[little plume]

If your trying to do it on D&D beyond you need a separate roll. If you constantly have bless like for the whole session. Copy the character and override the score reminding you ro roll that or add them together. I will DM you the way to do it

[hazy oracle]

whenever one of playets rolls for initiative with advantage, the encounter put the last one roll instead of the highest. we have try all we can think of. any ideas? or is this a known bug? thanks!

[modest pelican]

Are they actually rolling with advantage (right-click/long press, Advantage) or are they rolling twice? It sounds like they're doing the latter

I've just tested it with one of my characters; the encounter tracker always takes the most recent initiative roll but is correctly applying advantage and disadvantage

[hazy oracle]

He is.. right click adv.
hmmm.. gonna supervise his next roll 😂 thanks!

[heavy nest]

It should look something like this. If not they are rolling twice and then it will take the last roll.

[meager condor]

I haven't gotten my subscriber perks yet this month, and I don't know what to do

Hi! How would I go about caching if someone threw the dice (as Beyond 20 does)
I wanted to make an app that will basically do DnD Beyond dice rolling but on transparent background, and I wonder if I can make it work with DnD beyond for better user experience

[modest pelican]

We don't provide support/assistance for anything that interfaces with D&D Beyond in an unauthorised way

[long zinc]

Got it! Assumed it was fine since there are public extensions that already do that
Thanks for the info ^^

[fallow patrol]

My DM is sharing content from one of our party members who owns all of the sourcebooks, but for some reason I'm not able to add the Hat of Wizardry from Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Other party members have been able to add magic items from Xanathar's and other sourcebooks that *they *don't own. I'm not sure what settings are not correct for my character.

[long zinc]

Are you sure your DM owns the item?
He might buy things one by one when needed

[fallow patrol]

It's one of our party members that ownes the sourcebooks. When I was DM with his account added to my campaign, the entire party had access to his content.

[long zinc]

Never had the case where player had more content unlocked then me so I can't help with that one :/

[fallow patrol]

Thanks anyway.

[modest pelican]

Is the character in the campaign that the content is being shared through?

[fallow patrol]

Yes, it's one of the characters in the party has all the content. The DM doesn't own many of the sourcebooks. As I said, my previous experience as a DM with this same player allowed me to share his content with the rest of the party.

[modest pelican]

The DM doesn't need to own the content; provided content sharing is enabled, all content owned by all members of the campaign will be shared with all other members of the campaign

Can you access Xanathar's Guide to Everything and the item listing page for the hat of wizardry?

[fallow patrol]

That's what I thought. Hence my problem with the Hat of Wizardry.

[modest pelican]

Hat of Wizardry - Compendium
Hat of Wizardry - Listings

[fallow patrol]

I can, but the campaign that he was on where I was a DM is still active, so it may be from that shared content.

...I don't own Xanathar's by the way.

[uneven lantern]

Their character is in that campaign, or your character is?

They'd both need to be in the same campaign, with Content Sharing enabled for that campaign.

Also, can you check here to see whether your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[fallow patrol]

Yes, I'm in a campaign with another user as the DM with the player who owns the content.

It shows that "Your entitlements data is in sync! " I do see a link to the Support Team... I'll contact them if this community can't solve my issue. Thanks, by the way.

[modest pelican]

If you can access those links but don't own Xanathar's, that suggests the content is being shared with you via a campaign

And you're 100% sure it's the campaign your character is in?

[fallow patrol]

OH! I need to share content as well (as a player). I just saw the link to share...

Clicked and solved the issue.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, someone needs to enable Content Sharing.

Doesn't matter who.

[modest pelican]

If content sharing isn't enabled in the campaign, nothing will be shared

[fallow patrol]

I didn't realize I needed to do this as a player. I've have only been a DM on DNDBeyond until just recently.

[modest pelican]

Someone, DM or Player, needs to do it

[fallow patrol]

Any one of us (DM or players)? or all of us?

[modest pelican]

Anyone in the campaign

[fallow patrol]

Hmm... I guess the other players own the content that they were adding to their respective inventories. At any rate, this was very helpful. Thank you @uneven lantern and @modest pelican

Great. Now I'm over my carrying capacity. 🥴

[reef flower]

does anyone know why, when using a custom background, the skill proficiencies and tools are not showing on my character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

I think it’s a cache delay.

They’ll show up in time.

The team’s already aware of the issue.

[reef flower]

ok, thank you

Also, is there actually no way to copy a spell you've made so you can make changes to it for a different version? Or to make a copy of someone else's homebrew spell so you can modify it for yourself? Because that would be like really, really helpful

[random topaz]

Hey, so I'm in the process of creating a Ranger. Well, I set a custom background to have Acrobatics and Sleight of Hand proficiencies.

Deft Explorer won't let me choose either of those skills to have expertise in.

It is only allowing skills from the ranger skills proficiency choices to get expertise. Is there any workaround here?

BTW, all the optional/additional features from Tashas are enabled.

What I am trying to do should be perfectly legal according to the rules.

[lapis geyser]

Can you confirm the proficiencies are actually showing up on the character sheet? There is some weirdness with custom backgrounds not working right away

[random topaz]

Yeah, I guess they're all showing up now. So, either I had to view the character sheet, or wait a really long time. Not sure what made it work

[lapis geyser]

The character sheets do some caching to load faster, and that can affect things like homebrew loading properly, so i guess custom backgrounds fall into that as well.

[supple wave]

I recently purchased the Player Bundle, which was on sale and it said that if I owned any of the other books, it would reduce that cost from the price. I owned the player's handbook, but it did not subtract the 29.99 from my purchase? Can you please help me with that?

[uneven lantern]

When you made the purchase, did you select “Buy for myself” or “Buy as a gift”?

Discounts for owned content apply only to things you purchase for yourself, not to gifts.

[uneven lantern]

You can copy any of your own spells or any official spell you own by selecting that spell as a template when you create a new homebrew spell.

It’s not possible to make a copy of anyone else’s spells.

[compact socket]

trying to make a custom subclass, how do I add extra swim speed as a feature? something along those lines anyway
