Most of them don't have launch dates yet, but you should at least have the character sheet preorder bonuses now.
I assume future launches of each individual piece will be announced on DNDB's blog.

You might need to sync your entitlements on your account page.

You might need to sync your entitlements on your account page.
How do I go about doing that?
dire blade
- Go to Main DNDB Page
- Top right of screen, hover over your name, select Account
- In list of tabs, select Licenses
- At the top is a section that says "Account Entitlements." If things are out of sync, there's a button there to sync things, otherwise it says "Your entitlements are in Sync!"
Because of volume management, these things do not happen automatically but are instead queued.

Hello, I come back from long time stop on the Beyond website, are the Bundle no more for sell (Legenrady Bundle etc...), the one with all Adventure or one with all book etc..

Hi folks, one question: since some content is being revised in the 2024 PHB, players who have access to old versions on D&D Beyond now will have to buy the 2024 PHB to see the new version?

It's a new book and so you will need to buy the book to gain access to it's options; the same as any other book previously

uneven lantern
If it follows an established pattern for that class (like a cleric's Domain Spells), you can simply add it by name under Basic Information in a field called Additional Specific Spells.
Otherwise, you can add them using the Spells or Additional Spell List section inside a subclass feature.
Using Spells actually gives them the spell. Using Additional Spell List simply adds the spell to their spell list, making it available for them to choose as one of their normal spells.

So, any idea on how I could get this feture to work?
Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel the radiant magic of the celestial realms to heal your allies. As a bonus action, you can spend 2 sorcery points to restore a number of hit points equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier to a creature you can see within 30 feet of you.
Additionally, whenever you cast a spell that restores hit points, you can add your Charisma modifier to the amount of hit points restored.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Armor Proficiency. Anyone can put on a suit of armor or strap a shield to an arm. Only those proficient in the armor's use know how to wear it effectively, however. Your class gives you proficiency with certain types of armor. If you wear armor that you lack proficiency with, you have disadvantage on any ability check, saving throw, or attack roll that involves Strength or Dexterity, and you can't cast spells.
The rules explain it ☝️

There isn't really a good way to do this.

On the mobile app make it easier to “return to your character” instead of “return to the campaign or your characters list” when switching between screens.
Example, click the “squares” icon then select skills. If you click the back arrow in the top left corner, it takes you back to the character selection sheet instead of your character sheet. Have it take you back to your character not the “select a character screen”
Upper left corner return arrow. Have it instead take you back to “ability , saves, senses” screen unless you are already on this screen the back arrow from that page should be the only one to take you to character selection.
You currently have to click the red squares and remember to click the right option or cause a delay at your table trying to get back into the campaign and character.
Instead of “back to previous screen” its like “exit completely take you to character selection screen” can be frustrating when its your turn.

Hey! How do you homebrew a natural armor feature? Something similar to autognome or locathah. Will this set it to 12+DEX or will it just set my AC to 12?
uneven lantern
It adds 10+DEX automatically.
So remove the Ability Score, and change Fixed Value to 2.
sharp finch
And change "set" to "bonus"?
uneven lantern
No, keep Set.
sharp finch
Wait, so help me figure out the math here. Like I'll do that but I also want to understand why it works. Shouldn't "set" be "this value will override the following feature" while "bonus" is "this value will be added to the folowing feature"?
uneven lantern
Does your feature provide its own AC calculation, or does it add a bonus to an existing AC?
If it’s the former, you want Set.
If it’s the latter, you want Bonus.
Autognome and locathah would both use Set.
sharp finch
It's the former! And this makes sense, I think.
Well, another question then— if my feature worked like Tortle's flat AC feature, how would I go about implementing it

That uses like three different modifiers. I don’t remember them all off the top of my head.
But if you select any existing race as a template when you create a homebrew, it will give you an exact copy.
Then you can peek inside and see how it was set up.
sharp finch
Also. How do you do Tasha's customized ASIs, languages and proficiencies?
uneven lantern
Most races nowadays are just built with that flexibility as the default.
But if you want to make it an opt-in thing like the older species, you’d need to add a Racial Feature, set the Feature Type as “Replacement”, and then choose the feature you want it to replace (like your default ASI).

Is there a way to sell items inDDB? I purchased some armor that I can’t use. Well I can use it but my unarmored bonus gives me a higher AC
dire blade
Each mundane item has a cost visible in the character sheet, and if your DM for your campaign says you can sell it, then you and the DM can work together to decide if you sell it at full price or not. Then you can add the currency you make to your character sheet.
sharp finch
Any easy way to add a spell to a character that isn't listen in their class' spell list?
Just a freebie spell
dire blade
The easiest way is to create a Homebrew feat or magic item that adds it and give it to yourself, which would add any spell you want with no strings attached. It’s not as simple as typing it in directly on the sheet due to the way DNDB works, however.
sharp finch
Sorry for so many questions tonight— and if I'm looking to make a feat that adds a spell to whatever my class's spell list is, how do I go about doing that?
This should be for a background, but the spell list background thingie did nothing so I thought that turning it into a feat would be better
I did this, but these spells dont show up on my sheet
dire blade
If you want to add a list of spells to your class's spell list you need to do it with a homebrew subclass. If you want to just add the spells to your sheet, you just add them in a feat here:
sharp finch
Is this how stuff like the Strix backgrounds is implemented? I would check it for myself but I never bought Strixhaven, but I do remember them having a "x spells get added to your class list" thing
dire blade
Backgrounds have a separate section for adding spells to a spell list. That's also an approach you could take if you wanted.
I usually prefer feats or magic items because they're more modular (I can add/remove them as needed), but the backgrounds definitely get the job done.
uneven lantern
Yeah, the Additional Spell List section of a homebrew background, subclass, or race will do what you’re looking for.
Note also that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on your character sheet.
So if you changed it and checked immediately, you might have had it right and the changes just hadn’t shown up yet.

If it’s a homebrew subclass and these are following a standard set of rules for that class, like Domain Spells, there’s a box under Basic Information called “Additional Specific Spells”.
You can just put the name there, and you’re done.
If these follow rules of their own or if it’s not a subclass, it’s a little more involved.

When I'm creating a magic item which allows you to cast spells, it won't let add custom spells or some spells I can see in the spell list. Is there any way around this?
modest pelican
There is not, you can only add SRD spells to homebrew
I should clarify, if you want to publish your homebrew, you can do the following:
- Integrating spells so they're castable/added to spell lists/etc - SRD only
- Linking to spells via tooltips - all spells except homebrew
You can integrate non-SRD spells (including homebrew I think) and also hyperlink to spells, but you won't be able to publish if you do

modest pelican
If you've published it, no. You'll have to make a new version using the Create New Version option, fix the errors, and publish that
patent sun
well issue is that I used another subclass as basis, and left a lot of its features accidentally in there because I am new to homebrew creation
so when actually aplied on a character in character creation it unfortunately shows up many of those features
modest pelican
That doesn't change anything; you cannot delete/unpublish published homebrew. You can only publish a revised version
patent sun
does revised version get rid of the older version?
modest pelican
No, it just becomes the version people see when browsing published homebrew
The previous versions will appear in it's version history and anyone who has added the old version will not see any change unless they remove it and add the newer version
dire blade
Basically, it’s done this way so folks using the older versions of your Homebrew don’t end up with broken character sheets.

Same thing with non-specific strength checks, but an Athletics check still goes to Roll20.

Some spells in dnd beyond won't show up

Feat spells can't be set to use a spell slot.

You'd need to use a homebrew subclass for that.

Alright so that explains that, thank you.
Now, does that also answer why it's only showing up as castable at 5th level, when i have have it set to scale higher at 6/7/8/9th?
uneven lantern
Not sure on that one. 🤔
The screenshot there looks correct for the scaling, though.
Actually, yeah, it's probably because you're assigning it through a feat.
Spells can only be upcast by using a spell slot, and since the feat doesn't know you can use a spell slot, it's not displaying the higher levels.
So adding the spell through a homebrew subclass instead should fix that issue as well.

I would like to buy it as a gift for someone else, and I don't want to accidentally bind the digital versions to my Beyond account ^^
modest pelican
dndstore.wizards.com doesn't use your D&D Beyond account to log in and it's not tied to your account. When you make a purchase from that storefront, you'll recieve a code that can be redeemed by anyone at D&D Beyond
fading creek
awesome, thank you!
rapid tiger
I would like to ask the staff if on 03SEP24 when the pre-orders get early access, are we going to be able to make characters in DDB on that day? Or will there be a different date?
uneven lantern
I don't think they've explicitly said either way.
little plume
do we know what up with DDB and saving encounters? its been throwing error whole day
uneven lantern
What kind of error?
little plume
What kind of error?
uneven lantern
You gave the encounter a name?
Is it linked to a campaign? Are all the characters in that campaign "complete" (race + class + ability scores)?
rapid tiger
Remember the weird thing that happened to me Tuna...I had to delete the campaign and re-insert the characters to save encounters
uneven lantern
Could be worth a try if you can't find any other explanation, yeah...

I have a question about my pre order of the digital physical bundle
I ordered it, it showed the total amount taken out of my bank account, and now the amount has gone down, is this right or is something wrong?
uneven lantern
I believe you get charged only for the digital books to start, then there will be a separate charge once each physical book is shipped.
warm canopy
Oh ok
little plume
What kind of error?
in the end, just leaving it be for a bit seems to solve the issue as per usual

You'll need your DM to send you an invite link for the campaign.
Then you can create a new character, add one of your existing ones, or choose an unassigned character in the campaign.
remote oar
y'know, I'm so tired of always getting this message whenever making homebrew
it's always either this, "This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass."
like- no, I know for a fact it has the right things for the right levels, and the only place it could be mapped to, is my own homebrew I posted somewhere else
uneven lantern
Those warnings only apply if you're trying to publish your subclass for use by the global community.
If you just want to use it with members of the campaigns you're in, it's shared with them automatically and can be used as-is. You can just ignore those warnings altogether.
remote oar
I know, but I want to share the link with people to show it off
and it's just weird- because like-
my monk- has nothing in common with the circle of spores?
how has this bug not been fixed yet?

That error could be displayed if there’s a description somewhere that’s missing or too short.
Or you could try simply hitting the main save button again to rerun the validation. If you’ve already solved the problem, that error should go away.

Question: Dark Elf/Drow is listed as a race in the 2014 player handbook. Except, you can't select it as a race during character creation in DDB. Is there any reason why?
heavy nest
Do you own the 2014 PH on DDB?
rapid patrol
I'm able to use it, yeah
dense viper
If it is shared with you have you made the character in the campaign where it is shared?
I own the 2014PHB and I am able to make a dark elf character
rapid patrol
No. I'm the campaign owner
so now i'm really confused. I can read the PHB on DnD Beyond but I also have to purchase it?
uneven lantern
If you’re able to read it and haven’t purchased it yourself, then it’s being shared with you through one of the campaigns you’re in.
rapid patrol
oh
uneven lantern
Shared character options are only available for characters assigned to the campaign that’s sharing them.
rapid patrol
:'D RIP. Okay then
rapid patrol
Is anyone else having issues on DDB with the website not processing the payment?
edgy oriole
Sometimes it can be your bank preventing the transaction
rapid patrol
I already confirmed with my bank that it isn't them. They said it was WotC

Interesting. Okay so in that case make sure your billing details on DnDBeyond match what the bank/card has on file.
If that still doesn't resolve it, you'll need to contact customer support.

Can i have some help with my homebrew? I just made one but it is no showing up in character builder. Can anyone help me?
dire blade
Do you have homebrew turned on for that character? It’s on the first page of the character builder for each character.
dire blade
Only other thought I have is that Homebrew caches on the site every 15 or so minutes, so you might need to wait for the caching to update.
grim gyro
Ok i'll wait 15 minutes and come back if it doesn't show up.
I see the other homebrew i have so it is werd it is not working.
I also set the race to "share with community" thinking it would work.
dire blade
Well, share with community does what it says on the tin: it publishes it for other people outside of your campaigns to use. It wouldn’t help here.
grim gyro
Let me make a new one and delete the one i made to public then thanks.
dire blade
You can always use your own homebrew so long as Homebrew is enabled and you have it added to your collection.
You can’t delete homebrew that’s been published because someone else might be using it. That said, it shouldn’t hurt in either case, just explaining why it doesn’t help.
Or, to be specific, you can’t delete the published version.
grim gyro
Oh. Well i'll use my private verson then. (Yes it got approved and someone added in seconds so at least it is liked)

Is your character assigned to that campaign? Is Content Sharing still enabled for that campaign?
uneven lantern
And added to my collection without a subrace
Does this mean the race is meant to have subraces, but you haven’t included one?
Because that would also explain it. A parent race can’t be selected on its own, because it’s incomplete. You need to have a subrace.
Only standard and variant races can be selected on their own.
dire blade
Good catch! I hadn’t noticed that remark; that might be it.
grim gyro
Because that would also explain it. A parent race can’t be selected on its own, ...
It had a subrace but i removed it as it never showed the main version.
So does it need the subrace?
If so i can add them. (It is weird tho because the other one i have doesn't have subraces and it still shows up.)
uneven lantern
It depends on whether you’ve marked the race as having subraces.
If you did, you do.
If you didn’t, you don’t.
grim gyro
I'll add the sub races maybe i will help hold on.
Hold on i'll copy and paste on a new homebrew sheet cuz i don't even see the subrace option anymore only variant.

Quick question, in a campaign, is it the DM who has to have Master Tier to share, or as a player if I have it, can I share my books

Any participant in the campaign can turn on content sharing for that campaign, which shares all books of all players with everyone else in the campaign. There is a limit of 5 campaigns activated in this way for sharing per person at that tier.

Since the phb (2014) just updated in dndbeyond, what was changed?
Also, not sure if this is the right spot (direct me to the right one if it isn't), but will someone with the 2014 phb need to buy the 2024 phb seperately?
modest pelican
As far as I'm aware, the only update was adding the "(2014)" suffix in preparation for the new 2024 PHB (which will just be called "Player's Handbook")
And yes, the 2024 PHB is a separate book and therefore seperate purchase from the 2014 PHB

You can purchase D&D books for use in DnDBeyond through the marketplace: https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/
To share these books with folks (and to allow others to share the content they own) in your DnDBeyond campaign someone in the group needs to have an active Master Tier subscription and you will need to toggle on content sharing in that campaign.

Just what I want a few hours before my session starts, D&D Beyond telling me my saved password that has worked every day for the past 2 years is suddenly wrong... And I can't reset it because the email never arrives to reset the password.
modest pelican
That's not a D&D Beyond issue because D&D Beyond does not provide it's own account authentication service
The services D&D Beyond uses are
- twitch (legacy)
- apple
- wizards
Whichever service you use, you'll have to go through that services password recovery system; D&D Beyond has no access or control over that
lilac trout
And Wizards is what I was using. Ah, all my password reset emails arrive at once... Time to try each reset code...
modest pelican
No, don't do that
Use the most recent (the emails will have time stamps)
But this isnt' really a D&D Beyond support matter, so we'll leave it that

Okay I'm on all is good again!

If you're using their public sharing URL, you won't be able to edit.

I see the change logs. What I don't see is how the legacy items mesh with 2024 rules. Does dndbeyond go ahead and use the guidance from the 2024 phb when using a legacy "race" or background with the phb 2024 rules and classes. For eg. When creating a character using a legacy race that gives ability bonuses, will they still give those bonuses or ignore them?
uneven lantern
No idea! 😅
But I’ve reached out behind the scenes to see if we can get some clarification.
vast swan
hi question, is there an option for subclasses on dndbeyond?
uneven lantern
An option to do what with them?
vast swan
add them to character sheet?
uneven lantern
Then yes
You’d add it on the class tab, under whatever feature grants the subclass for that class.
So fighters, for example, choose theirs in their Martial Archetype feature at level 3.
celest mulch
So if you do not order the new books, does that mean that you won't be able to use character sheets to spell links anymore? Even if using only 2014 materials?
uneven lantern
What do you mean by “use character sheets to spell links”? Can you give an example?
celest mulch
The right or left column spell description when managing a spell selection on the character sheet.
I create a 3rd level wizard 2014. Select subclass evocation. On spells selection, known/prepared are all the spells going to reference 2024 version? And what happens if I don't own PHB2024? Will the spell options be blank and limited to 2014 spells that haven't been updated? Do I get the updated 2024 spell descriptions for free?
uneven lantern
From what I’ve been told, if you have access to the 2014 version of a spell, you’ll also have access to the 2024 version of that same spell.
So when you click a spell on your character sheet, the sidebar will open to display the description of the 2024 version of that spell — whether you have the new book or not.

Is it possible to swap my pre-order bundle for alternate covers on the physical copies? I just saw recent announcement mention them but I don’t see them on the website yet.
uneven lantern
The alt covers are available only in local game stores.
You can call your local store or check here to find a store near you:

For any changes to your preorder, you’d have to contact customer support:

Oh I didn’t realize they’d only be in-stores. I already ordered the digital+physical bundle and just hoped it might be possible to switch physicals. I guess I’ll have to wait and see if any stores near me bring them in but I don’t want to lose the bundle price and don’t need 2 copies 🤷🏻♂️

Right. Today, for example, you cannot choose the 2014 PHB Beastmaster (there's only one option, and mine gives me Tasha's but maybe if you don't own Tasha's it gives you legacy?), but you can choose legacy races. But classes changed. Will I be able to level up existing characters or create new characters with the 2014 base class progression?
uneven lantern
You can definitely create a Beastmaster using the 2014 PHB rules.
It's the default, even, when you select that subclass. There are then additional steps required to enable the feature replacements from Tasha's.
lone sun
Not in my builder. I select the only Beast Master and I get Tasha's version.
uneven lantern
But yes, both versions of each class will remain available. If you want to switch to the 2024 version, you'll need to apply the new class to your character and remove the old one.
uneven lantern
Not in my builder. I select the only Beast Master and I get Tasha's version.

I understand I will be able to look at it, "in the book", but will it be available in the builder?
uneven lantern
Yes
lone sun
I'm sure I'm not the only one in my particular situation - several ongoing campaigns, none wishing to move to new rules until the campaigns are over, perhaps years from now, that presently rely heavily on DDB. It would be nice to keep our subscriptions and continue playing as we do today,
uneven lantern
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/130520594/ej215h
That's definitely the PHB version.
It's got the Ranger's Companion feature from the PHB.
And not the Primal Companion feature from Tasha's.
lone sun
That's Tasha's
lone sun
That's Tasha's
OK, I stand corrected. This is controlled by Tasha's optional features. Is that how they will allow you to control 2014 vs 2024 classes and sub classes (optional check boxes)?

When selecting a class, the 2024 and 2014 versions will be listed as completely separate options, as shown here:
https://x.com/DnDBeyond/status/1826348893505740960
The 2014 versions will only be visible (during class selection) if the "Legacy Content" toggle is enabled for that character.
Once you've selected your class, it will remain on your character sheet regardless of whether that toggle is enabled.
violet vortex
The entry for the Druidic Focus in DDB’s Equipment only lists a Sprig of Mistletoe (or Holly) as an option, but the PHB equipment section also offers Totem, Wooden Staff, and Yew Wand as options. Is that accidental?
uneven lantern
I don't know, but since that listing is about to be replaced with the 2024 description, it will forever be a mystery.
violet vortex
Fair enough 😅
fading sky
I'm not sure if it was made clear or not in the change list, but if I don't own or plan to own the 2024 rules, will my magic items and spells remain as they were, will I get the new definitions for free, or will I suddenly get a 'you don't own this content' error in my spell book?

You’ll effectively be getting the updated spells and magic items for free.
If you can access the 2014 version, you’ll have access to the 2024 version in the character builder and the spell/magic item listings.

It entirely depends on how many tickets are open before yours.

No idea - depends on customer service workload and where your ticket is in their work queue.
I'd also suggest checking your spam folder in case they sent any follow-up questions and are waiting for a reply from you.

Hey could you guys help me with understanding/fixing on why I can’t make a sidekick? Also sorry if this is the wrong place to post this at
uneven lantern
Can you be a little more specific? What have you got so far, and where are you stuck?
little plume
Well I know how to add extras, I put in sidekick none of the classes that Tasha’s sidekick rules allow showed up. When I tried searching for the classes nothing showed up, only after I disabled the rules it allowed me to pick creatures, but I couldn’t give them levels and classes
Also the sidekick/creature I want to add is a spell caster rat
uneven lantern
The Sidekick category there is for the versions in Dragon of Icespire Peak, which predates the Tasha’s rules.
I’d recommend making a homebrew monster. Select a rat as a template, and then you can manually add your sidekick choices as needed.

Thanks!

will people with subscriptions lose access to the unsupported material when the books drop for everyone or in the early access period, i believe 1 week for hero and 2 weeks for master tier?
Subscriptions don't grant access to content, so I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at here precisely
If you're referring to content sharing, anything shared with you will continue to be shared with you in the form that it exists
What this means is
- Listings of spells and (later) magic items that are updated from 2014 to 2024 versions will be shared in their new, updated forms
- Compendium entitries of the above content will continue to be shared in its unaltered 2014 form
harsh sparrow
this part of the subscriptions, will subscribers loose 2014 content in these periods or at full launch?
not content sharing
modest pelican
To clarity, you won't be losing any content
harsh sparrow
i WILL be losing my 2014 spells
modest pelican
No, they will still be accessible through your 2014 Player's Handbook
Only the listings will be updated to the 2024 version
harsh sparrow
on m y character sheet? for my character to use?
modest pelican
When the 2024 Player's Handbook goes live on D&D Beyond on September 3rd, all spell and mundane item listings (what the tools use) will be updated to their 2024 versions _where both a 2014 and 2024 version exists)
harsh sparrow
im sorry, im upset and i shouldnt get rude
modest pelican
It's completely okay
I'm just trying to reassure you that while you will lose the convenience of being able to add the 2014 spells to your character sheet (without the use of hombrew tools), you will not lose access them
They will still exist unchanged within the 2014 Player's Handbook you have
(because there's a lot of misinformation circling)
I get that's a cold comfort if you're just concerned about the tools, but when communicating on this matter, the moderation team has to be careful to communicate as precisely as possible for those viewing the channel, not just the person they're addressing
So to answer your question as precisely and to-the-point as I can
When September 3rd comes out, regardless of if you have a subscription or have ordered the 2024 Player's Handbook, your spells and mundane gear will be updated to the 2024 versions for listings only (listings are what's used in the tools such as character builder).
Entries for those same game options in your 2014 Player's Handbook will remain unchanged
harsh sparrow
ok, thanks, im sorry so much of this is hitting you
modest pelican
eh, it's okay. I'm in it for the community and the community has ups and downs
One thing I will say is that for the vast majority of spells (as far as I'm aware) the changes are trivial (or none)
This means that making the 2014 version in the homebrew tools will consist mostly of
- Copy the 2024 version
- Make a small change such as spell school or damage dice
- Save
(Again, I'm aware this is cold comfort but I'm trying to provide whatever I can)
harsh sparrow
i am currently copying every spell and adding (2014) to the start of the name so they'll be in a block

Why is the Articifier class in official discord but not in the basic rules?
uneven lantern
The Basic Rules contains a subset of content from the 2014 PHB, DMG, and MM.
The Artificer was released long after any of those books.
You can use it in D&D Beyond if you have access to ERFTLW or TCOE.

Membership is irrelevant. You can use old/legacy rules for class/subclass/race/background/feat. Everything else on the character sheet will be changed to 2024 rules whether you like it or not. This includes spells, items (when the DMG is released), conditions, rule references etc. Essentially if you want to continue using 2014 rules you will have to reference a load of things off-sheet, negating the whole point of using the site.
modest pelican
Most content will be unaffected bar getting the Legacy Tag
Spells and (later, when the DMG comes out) magic item listings will be automatically updated to the 2024 descriptions and rules. This will not affect the compendium entries in the 2014 Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Basic Rules
You can use those compendiums to create homebrew copies of the original, 2014 versions for use on your character sheets
Mundane gear, including weapons, will be updated in a similar fashion, but no homebrewing will be necessary as these changes are purely additive (with the exception of the Net weapon); weapons are simply having their master traits added (so you can ignore those if you're using the 2014 rules) and items will have their item-specific rules added (which again, can be ignored)
Tooltips, links to rules, and other such rules reminders and descriptions will now show their 2024 versions (such as the new Exhaustion rule or the Magic action) in the character sheets, but the original wording of those rules will likewise be unchanged in the compendiums
