I think that covers everything

nimble sedge
#

So if I have a character now, once these changes are implemented I will no longer see the 2014 spells, and I will ONLY see the 2024 spells in my character sheet? Sorry but that's a terrible move by you to do that.. My characters are built around the spells, and some of those changes will kill the build.

modest pelican
#

Sorry but that's a terrible move by you to do that
Just a reminder that no one in this channel made the decision

nimble sedge
#

I inderstand that.. and I feel sorry for th emods, you are facing the backlash of all the unhappy players, I understand you ar enot to blame, but we have to vent our frustrations somewhere.

modest pelican
#

No, you do not

nimble sedge
#

We have to let WOTC know how unhappy and how poor of a decision this is

modest pelican
#

No one on this server, be they mod or community member, is obligated to the be target of anyones frustration

#

I want to make that crystal clear

sinful gyro
#

This has probably been explained but hard to find. If you have the 2014 books with magic items do you get access to all the 2024 version of those items automatically or is it going to block you access to it? Same question applies to spells.

modest pelican
#

You will not be blocked from anything
One of two things will happen

  1. Your content will be unchanged except for a Legacy tag
  2. Your content will be updated to reflect the 2024 wording for listings only
#

This means if you own a spell from the 2014 PHB, you will continue to be able to use it in the tools, it'll just have the 2024 wording

#

Same for magic items

sinful gyro
#

Ok thank you.

modest pelican
#

No worries

#

the tl;dr is "some of your content may change, nothing will be taken away"

sinful gyro
#

I personally think its fine, means you get free upgraded items and spells.
My feedback would be for legacy books - allow a PDF download.

calm narwhal
#

Nah, you're taking away something someone bought and replacing it with an inferior version. I asked in feedback:
Will I be getting a refund for the items being taken from my account that I purchased?

That's not something anyone here can help with. You'd have to discuss it with customer support.

I have a question about character sheets - the changelog says that character sheets will be updated to reflect the 2024 rules (race becoming species, for example).

If I have a character created using a 2014 race/class, will things like origin feats and other new character creation content be automatically added to my character sheet? And if so, will that be for all existing characters or only new characters?

uneven lantern
#

For any spells and equipment your character has, those will be updated to the latest versions, but your character will otherwise have the same spells and equipment selected.

#

Any other character options like race/class will be not be changed, aside from being labelled as "(Legacy)" in cases where a more recent update is available.

#

If you want to take advantage of brand new things like Origin Feats, you can simply add those to your character.

bronze granite
#

But will they automatically appear in the character builder section if using a legacy character?

#

The changelog says "The Character Builder and digital character sheet are being updated to reflect these changes as well as changes in game terminology."

#

By automatically appear, I mean, if I create a character once these changes have gone through, and choose a legacy elf and legacy wizard, will the character builder prompt me to pick an origin feat on the background tab?
I'm using origin feat as a concrete example - trying to figure out whether my 2014 character is still actually going to be built as a 2024 character, or not.

If I have an on-going campaign using the 2014 ruleset and don't want to change in the middle of a campaign, do I have any option other than extensive use of the homebrew tools?

That will still be the case, legacy options will remain available to use

#

You'll just need to actually pick the legacy version

bronze granite
modest pelican

It is, but not in the way you think

#

2014 options sans spells et al will be marked legacy, but still useable
2024 options will be the standard options

native shoal

The rule references on the character sheet will be updated to 2024 rules. I'm not familiar with all the changes yet, but as one example the Exhuastion rules/tracking will change to show the 2024 rules where you lose points from D20 rolls and movement speed based on level, as opposed to the old rules where you had a different effect per level.

If you want to use the old rules you would have to look them up yourself in the compendium.

Why are the subclasses from certain 3rd party books labeled as such and explicitly said to not be official, but from others they're not?

For example:

https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/4-paladin

Oath of the Open Sea vs Oath of Zeal

D&D Beyond
Paladin

uneven lantern
#

Oath of the Open Sea likely has that label because it’s both A) freely available for all users and B) made by Critical Role, meaning that when Critical Role Content is enabled for a character, it’s displayed alongside Critical Role subclasses that are official.

modest pelican
#

I believe that header is supposed to indicate that everything from that point on is partnered content, but it does appear to have cr specific branding

uneven lantern
#

Oath of Zeal’s lack of that label does not mean it’s an official subclass, or that its use isn’t still subject to the DM’s approval as with any subclass.

fluid ferry
modest pelican
#

Yeah, I was incorrect, as was spam

#

The header is on all cr subclasses, not just the once free ones.

#

I'll pass this along as soon as I can

fluid ferry

#

If a subscription is cancelled, do all the benefits (unlimited characters, content sharing etc) continue until the next billing date? When it does end, do I get to choose which 6 characters are "active", and are the rest deleted or just locked?

uneven lantern
#

Your subscription will remain active for however long you've paid.

#

When the subscription ends, you will indeed be prompted to choose six characters to keep active.

#

The rest will be locked until/unless you subscribe again or manually remove characters.

A number of people I know have reported issues downloading their character sheets as PDFs. Any known reason for this?

uneven lantern
#

What kind of issues?

arctic fulcrum
#

They try to export the character sheet to PDF and nothing happens or the PDF is blank

uneven lantern
#

Can you share a link to one of those characters?

marsh shadow
#

I keep seeing spells are changing, how are those spells changing? Is there a list some where?

oblique ravine
uneven lantern
#

Essentially the D&D Beyond spell listings (which includes the spells you can select on your character sheet) will include only the most recent version of any spell.

#

So for any spell you have that's being updated, you'll instead see that updated version in the spell listings and your character sheets, whether you purchase the new rulebooks or not.

#

The older books will still display those spells in their original version.

harsh sparrow
#

if a magic item uses a spell, like lets say the the fireball in staff of power if you make a homebrew copy of that item will the spells inside the item change to the 2024 variants?

edgy oriole
#

Since the spells are changing, I believe so.

harsh sparrow
#

oh no

modest pelican
#

Copying the item doesn't copy the spell, it just copies what spell it's pointing to

harsh sparrow
#

and i assume class features that give access to spells like warlock invocations are the same way, correct?

uneven lantern
#

Yes

#

There’s only one set of spells, and they’ll all be the most recent version.

#

When you look at the spell list for your character, you’ll still see all the same names.

#

Regardless of how your character got that spell.

harsh sparrow
#

and we still cant homebrew invocations or atrificer infusions, correct?

uneven lantern
#

Correct

#

As far as I know, there’s no changes to the homebrew system.

native shoal
#

Doesn't that mean there will be no way to play a 2014 warlock?

If the legacy invocations all point at 2024 spells and there's no way to make homebrew invocations to point at homebrewed 2014 spells?

harsh sparrow
#

yes thats what im currently talking to my group about

uneven lantern
#

The advice I’ve always given for homebrew invocations is to do it as a homebrew feat, and then simply leave the invocation unselected.

harsh sparrow
#

so to keep playing the way we are we have to homebrew every spell, every item, every subclass that has an always prepared list, make a feat for every invocation that adds a spell, make a feat for every infusion that copies an item, homebrew any feat that gives a spell, and homebrew every race that gives a spell am i missing anything?

native shoal
uneven lantern
harsh sparrow
#

im sorry but the position of "if you want to play the way youve been paying to play you need to completely remake a large portion of the game, while still paying to do that" is insane, at this point theres no reason for me to keep paying for a subscription because i can just share the homebrew i was forced to make for free and 90% of that is what im sharing anyways

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, I know the answers I gave aren’t the ones you want. If you want to share your thoughts in #ddb-feedback, I can pass them along, and if you want help with homebrew, I’m happy to offer any advice I can.

#

But that’s really the extent of my power here.

native shoal
#

As my previous comment was removed (and I think misinterpreted) can I just say thanks again for providing what help you can, and doing so in such a polite & patient manner.

harsh sparrow
#

will the search function on ddb still show results for 2014 content or will all that be scrubbed in favor of the 2024 stuff too, like if i look up fireball will the 2014 fireball show up at all or will i have to go and dig through books to find out where every spell and item are from?

uneven lantern
#

If you want to see the 2014 rules for fireball you’d have to check the 2014 PHB or the 2014 Basic Rules.

#

(Although Fireball itself is functionally unchanged in the 2024 PHB.)

harsh sparrow
#

fireball was just an example

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, I know.

#

Spell examples always start with Fireball. dndLol

harsh sparrow
#

so are you saying i cant search for it directly and i would need to navigate to the book to access the 2014 version of updated content?

native shoal
#

This might not be knowable yet, but I'm guessing the optional features from Tashas that expand spell lists are not homebrewable (to use old spells)? At least not without workarounds like homebrew feats.

uneven lantern
#

If you use the global site search, that will return results from books, including the 2014 PHB.

harsh sparrow
#

ok, thats good at least

uneven lantern
#

If you’re using the Spells page or your character sheet, that will show only the latest version of each spell.

uneven lantern
#

Basically working off the same information given at the same time as everyone else. 😅

harsh sparrow
#

does anyone know why they did this?

#

i just realized we need to homebrew every monster with spellcasting too

uneven lantern
#

No idea, but I think technical limitations is the most likely answer.

sick carbon
#

I hear that the new rules will happen automaticly on dnd beyond, so what happens if you have the old phb book but not the new one?

uneven lantern
#

But in that specific case, for any spells and items you currently have access to, your characters will be updated to the latest versions.

#

All other character options like your race, class, feats, etc will remain as-is.

harsh sparrow
#

so what benifit does buying the 2024 rulebooks give us if we're being forced to use everything anyways?

lilac dirge
#

How will the spells from the 5e legacy books on the site be affected with the new 2024 spells?

harsh sparrow
#

like this only feels like a loss, as the people who would have bought it for the new spells and items just dont have to and many people will cancel subscriptions due to this

harsh sparrow
uneven lantern
lilac dirge
#

harsh sparrow

#

So when the changes roll out will we need to buy the legacy players handbook in order to create stuff with them?

uneven lantern
#

The 2014 Basic Rules will continue to be freely available.

#

But if you wanted to use any of the other subclasses, feats, etc. from the 2014 PHB that aren’t in the Basic Rules, then yes, you would need access to that book to do so.

#

Exactly as you would need to use those options today.

We've established here and on the forum that you cannot run a purely 2014 character, even with homebrew. At best you can have a mix of 2014/2024.

golden maple

wait so when creating a character you will choose between 2014 and 2024?

since i already have a campaign planned with the 2014 ruleset

and I don't want to now change it since I have still not read the new rules

#

neither did my friends

wraith iron
#

im not happy with this switch at all

modest pelican
#

"everything 2014 is just going to disappear"
This is not accurate
Only some options (spells, mundane items, magic items) are being updated and only the listings

#

Please do not spread misinformation

wraith iron

thenn WOTC needs to be more transparent with what they are going to do with our money

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere above, but could you clarify/confirm the statement about spells in the clarification forum thread, please? It says available in the Compendium without referencing listings specifically. Will the 2024 spells be added as new entries, or are the 2014 spell locations going to be updated to reference the 2024 version? To go by example, will https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2046-contagion continue to reference the 2014 Contagion spell, and the 2024 version of Contagion be given a new id/url, so both can be found in the Game Rules/Spells listings, or will the content at that URL be updated to reference the 2024 version, so there will be no reference to the 2014 version under Game Rules/Spells, just in the text of the 2014 PHB?

Hmm kinda don't understand the changes: if right now I'm in the middle of campaign then if I'll lvlup the character then I'll see the old version of of character sheets or the new one?

nocturne nimbus
#

since we were told the "fix" to not having 2014 spells would be to homebrew, how do we get around the restriction of publishing things that are too close to the source?

uneven lantern
uneven lantern
#

If you want to use the rules for the new class, you’d need to remove the existing class and add the new one.

desert lily
uneven lantern
#

All the character options you have selected (and can select) will still be there, but spells and items will reference only their most recent versions.

#

So if you’ve selected a spell like Contagion, you will still see Contagion there one your character, but it will be the 2024 version of that spell.

modest pelican
nocturne nimbus
#

so rather the allowing one person to do it for the entire community each dm is expected to do it for their group? I know this is maybe now feedback and not support, but maybe a DDB admin could just create the 2014 spells as homebrew for everyone instead of having people do it a bunch of times.

So the answer was yes which is…. A choice from dndbeyond. Thanks.

#

Is there a reason beyond “marketing thought it wouldn’t sell’ that none of this was mentioned when phb 2024 preorders went up?

uneven lantern
#

The only information I have is what’s been made publicly available.

drowsy sparrow
#

Because the 5.2014 books were still on sale then and dndbeyond’s been selling digital toolkit access to them since then while assuredly knowing that it would be removed

How do you add exp on your character in dnd beyond?

Then you’ll an XP tracker near your character name.

Click your character name and select “Character Settings”.

#

I got a campaign that's wrapping up likely end of the year, and we play with the 2014 rules, when the Integration drops will everything there be changed to 2024?

modest pelican
#

No, not everything

#

Just

  • spells
  • mundane items
  • magic items (that are in the PHB)
  • rule links/language/tooltips
#

Everything else will remain unchanged, with the exception of getting a Legacy tag

#

And these changes will only apply to listings (the bits that appear in the tools such as the character sheet)

#

It won't affect the compendium (the "ebook" of the rules)

modest pelican
#

For the four things listed, there won't be a toggle I'm afraid. They're being updated at the source

#

For everything else, there will be a legacy content toggle

distant magnet
#

Ok, Can they, like, not do that? I don't know about programming so I don't know what logistics issues are at hand here but I imagine changing things at a source code level is pretty hardcore

pliant veldt
#

i’d imagine it would be difficult to create a general toggle because there’s checking that comes into effect. 2014 can be brought forward to the 2024 settings, but not backward

distant magnet
#

I know, I do like that things are updated to their newest version and from what I have seen almost everything in 2024's is either an improvement or exactly the same as before, but I just want to wrap my game and then move on to the next campaign with 2024 update

pliant veldt
#

home brew is unaffected. you could create a home brew version of anything you need to keep unchanged.

distant magnet
#

And It's a big disconnect to have one session be like 'some of your spells now work completely different'

native shoal
# pliant veldt home brew is unaffected. you could create a home brew version of anything you n...

No you can't. We haven't come up with a full list yet, but we know that Invocations can't be homebrewed, so any that grant spells can only reference the new ones. Same with the expanded spell lists from Tashas, no way to homebrew them as they are part of a class so no way to add the old spells to your list.

As things stand you will not be able to create a 100% 2014 character, even with homebrew.

drowsy sparrow
#

Tbh given the growing list - does dndbeyond have a plan to refund people that thought they could keep using the tool because 5.2024 was fully 5e compatible?

native shoal

Do the tooltips for spells on Monsters pull from the compendium or the character creator listings? Just wondering if legacy monsters are likely to reference the new or the old spells.

uneven lantern

Tooltips will all reference the latest version.

native shoal
#

I assume that would also apply then to spells linked in an adventure, e.g. on traps? (I realise you may not have all the answers on this, just gathering what info I can).

uneven lantern
#

Yes. Every tooltip will point to the latest version.

#

And for any tooltip you can access today, you’ll continue to have access to in its latest form.

native shoal

Thanks, I thought as much but wanted to confirm

I just got to know about new 2024 spells overriding the old ones even if you wanted to play with the 2014 ruleset, and this being the case for other rules too. Has someone a comprehensive list of all of the changes that will happen even if I were to play with the old ruleset?

native shoal
#

Spells will be changed to 2024 versions, as will all of thebrules/tooltips on the character sheet (some of these are identical in both versions, but for a start I know that exhuastion and the hide action have both changed).

There are homebrew workarounds to keep the old spells, but they're a lot of effort and don't work in all circumstances.

When the DMG releases the items will also be changed over. It's unclear yet whether they can be fully homebrewed back to the old versions.

#

You do get to keep the old class/subclass/race/background, they will just be marked as legacy and hidden unless you enable legacy options in your souces.

You also get free access to the new spells that replace ones you already owned.

#

Oh, just for clarity, the old spells (and later items) will still be available in the compendium/search, just not in the character builder, you know, where they'd be useful.

How do i check if theyre entittled to me? Just to be double sure

#

The granted section seems to be fine

uneven lantern
#

There’s a section at the top of that page that says “Account Entitlements”. Ideally, that section should say “Your account entitlements are in sync!”

#

If they aren’t, there should be a button to manually trigger a sync.

Oh, im blind as a dingbat then, its synced

uneven lantern

On the alt account?

Check whichever account isn’t able to access the shared content.

Just to see whether the entitlements are in sync.

I need help with a DnD homebrew race thing. I'm trying to make it so the race becomes immune to non-magical bludgeoning, slashing, and piecering damage once the ability is activated. I have it set to be a bonus action but the modifier is always on I want it to only be on when they activate it. Oh and it's in DnD beyond

uneven lantern
#

There isn’t a means to mark when it’s active or not.

#

Though some people do use homebrew items as a workaround for that.

#

You can equip the item to start the effect, and unequip when it ends.

Question Re: 2014-2024 conversions:
Bard made on 2014 took Aura of Vitality. My understanding is that won't be available for Bards in 2024. Will it disappear and need to be readded as a homebrew? If I am okay using the 2024 version will I be able to add that to the available spells? How will that work?
Another character is an Eladrin. Will she still be able to be an Eladrin? How will that work?
Will they need to make entirely new characters?

Guys, can I ask for help on a snippet calculation? How can I succinctly convert the following? "a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls you make with it. This bonus increases to +2 at 9th level and +3 at 17th level." The +1 starts from level 1, if that makes any difference

#

Is there a list somewhere of the spells that are changing re: 2024? DDB says to make homebrew copies. But without the new book, I don't know which spells to homebrew without homebrewing everything. DDB is rolling out the changes before the books are released. By then it's too late to "copy" the existing spells and they'll need to be re-created from scratch.

#

Also, couldn't have DDB just made homebrew copies of all spells for us??

#

Seems to be a common solution. They should just be proactive and do it once and for all so everyone doesn't need to make their own homebrew versions.

visual parrot
#

Do you really think they'd go the extra mile and do something they could easily ignore? They'd never do that. I appreciate the toolkit for what it is, but the ones behind it couldn't give 2 s**ts about the people that actually use it. Those that are left, that is

After the switchover there will be a 2014/Legacy Bard and a 2024 Bard.
If you leave the character as a 2014 bard then they will keep the spell, but it will be changed to the 2024 version of the spell. You will not be able to keep the 2014 version. (The two versions may be identical for this spell, I'm not sure offhand if this is one that changed).
If you rebuilt the character as a 2024 bard then you wouldn't be able to add the spell (assuming you're correct that it's not a bard spell in the new rules)

uneven lantern

#

They'll be able to play an Eladrin with the 2024 rules. They'll just pick the Legacy Eladrin species as their species option.

uneven lantern
#

You’ll be able to continue using any of the existing Eladrin options.

#

Everything you have selected (and can select) will still be available, but spells and items will display only in their most recent versions. You do not need to purchase the new book to use the updated spells and items if you can access those today.

hello! D&D noob here, and even moreso to the DDB interface. The campaign my DM is running has allowed us 2 additional spells (due to our allegiance to the god in the homebrew) I tried to add those spells to my class (bard) and it wouldnt work. So I tried to make homebrew levels of those spells to fit my L1 character, but again it wouldnt let me add those spells. The last thing I've tried is creating a homebrew subclass of Bard with those two spells in the [Additional Spells] section. I saved the Hb, it shows up in my HB list. Now on to character creation, when i make a new character i select to allow HB stuff but now I cant select the new subclass I made, it doesnt even show up in the classes list.
There is an error message on my HB subclass that says the following:

This Subclass cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
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.
Bard: College of Creation (Bygar HB) is currently too similar to College of Creation to share with the community.
Remember, private homebrew is automatically shared with other users in your campaigns and does not need to be shared with the community for players to access.

How can I resolve this?

uneven lantern
#

The error you’re seeing only applies if you’re trying to publish it for the global community.

#

You can safely ignore that if you’re just using it in your own campaign.

#

Do you have Homebrew Content enabled for that character?

austere pelican
#

I do

uneven lantern
#

How long ago did you create it?

#

Sometime the homebrew stuff can take a few minutes before it shows on the character sheet.

austere pelican
#

ive been editing it for about an hour now and i keep trying.. on another note.. i tried adding a public subclass to my collection and it still isnt showingup in the carachter builder either (yes I HB content enables)

austere pelican

none at all

uneven lantern
#

Can you share a link to that character?

austere pelican
uneven lantern
#

That’s just a 1st-level character?

#

You’ll need to be at least level 3 to choose a subclass.

#

Under their 3rd-level “Bardic College” feature.

austere pelican
#

huh? Im trying to create a homebrew Bard class (i believe its called a subclass in the homebrew section) with 2 additional spells available: Freedom of Movement & Charm Monster In my character setup page I have Homebrew, Expanded Rules, Legacy, etc all selected as options, Ive even created HB versions of those spells to be available at Lvl 1,.. THOSE spells show up as selections.. but my overall problem is that on creation of a lvl1 character, I get 2 cantrips and 4 spells.. I cant add any additional spells.. I thought by creating a new HB class with those HB spells (set to be available at lvl1) as additional spells Id be avle to solve that issue, but for the live of me I cant select any homebrew classes at all, ive even added public HB classes to my collection and those dont show up either

I also have a support ticket open but I know support are swamped right now. I'm mostly posting this here to keep updates in case anyone else has issues. Thank you for raising it to the team!

uneven lantern
#

Subclasses are a specialization within a class. Members of the Bard class choose their subclass at level 3.

#

So if you’ve created a homebrew subclass, the earliest you can add it to your bard is level 3.

austere pelican
#

I see. I just did that and you are correct thank you

uneven lantern
#

If you need an option that works at level 1, a homebrew race, background, or feat could do the trick.

austere pelican
#

gotcha, thank you very much

#

dumb question.. how do I add a feat?

#

to a character, not in the HB section

uneven lantern
#

On the character sheet itself, if you go to Features & Traits, then scroll all the way down to the Feats section, you should see a button that says “Manage Feats”.

Players who only have access to the 2014 Player’s Handbook will maintain their character options, spells, and magical items in their character sheets. Players with access to the 2024 and 2014 digital Player’s Handbooks can select from both sources when creating new characters. Players will not need to rely on Homebrew to use their 2014 player options, including spells and magic items, as recommended in previous changelogs.

So I purchased the physical copy of DoIP and have been prepping for my first couple of sessions. I realized it would be easier to have the digital options for things like magic items and what not since I didn't want to homebrew everything. So I purchased the digital copy as well, only to find that the magical items included in the physical set, aren't included in the digital set. Something like the sending stones from dwarven excavation say that they you need the 2014 DM guide. I have the 2024 books all preordered, but it doesn't make any sense to have certain elements of the starter set still tied to the old core books. Besides homebrew is there any options for this? Becomes a totally wasted digital purchase as is.

modest pelican
#

What's your specific support query?

white radish
#

Is this expected behavior, a bug due to the current change over to the 2024 rules, or am I missing something I guess.

modest pelican
#

Because you mention both Dragon of Icespire Peak and the 2024 core rulebooks

#

Is what expected behaviour?

white radish
#

I guess main question is the digital copy of DoIP not supposed to come with the content needed to run it?

modest pelican
#

I'm struggling to parse your query, which may very well be a me problem

#

Yes, you're supposed to have everything in the adventure in the digital version of the adventure

white radish
#

So for example, the physical copy has the needed rules for the Sending Stones, has the phsical card to help players, etc... but in the digital copy when you get to the Sending Stones in the encounter it is not available when you hover or click on it you get told its in the 2014 DM Guide

#

I am wondering if the digital copy is not considered a starter set, but is just counted like the other adventure modules

grizzled bobcat
# modest pelican

Ah Thank you! The race selection becomes a dropdown not a button, cheers

modest pelican
#

What is offered on D&D Beyond is the adventure from the starter set, not the starter set itself

white radish
#

That is likely the difference, I made the assumption it was still the starter set

modest pelican
#

That's why it's listed as Dragon of Icespire Peak rather than D&D Essentials Kit

#

I will pass on that it's referencing items not found in the basic rules

white radish
#

Yeah from a quick scan many of the magic items are not included

modest pelican
#

I've passed that along

uneven lantern
#

According to the mobile app, those should already be included.

Hello, Im new to dnd and not sure whow it all works yet. If I purchase any adventure in the marketplace for example Tyranny of Dragons, if there anything else I would need to purchase with it? Will I have access to all the items and spells needed ect?

idle arch
#

So, in the marketplace, there are 2 types of books, Sourcebooks and Adventures.

Sourcebooks contain information for the players and DMs, and often include things like character options, magic items, spells, etc.

Adventures are for DMs, and they contain a prewritten story with pre-built combat encounters, dungeons, maps, and other things you need to actually run the game.

Adventures might contain the spells and magic items that are used specifically as part of that story, by the NPCs and such, but it won't contain all the options players can use to make their characters

errant garden
#

ok so an adventure is kinda like a lego set, only has what you need to build what you bought but not all the options to expand on it ?

idle arch

Thank you for explaining it so simply, makes total sense!

i know this isnt really a support question but the new 3d sandbox in beta testing available for everyone if you sign up? Or you need to be extracted out of a certain amount of people to enter the beta?

modest pelican
#

No specifics on how the closed beta will work have been announced

dense viper
sharp summit
#

I did, but I can seem to get it right anyway.

I'm trying to add the Cosmic Caller-subclass from the Feywild Companion to ddb, but at the 3rd level at the choosing of ones Companion you are to gain access to spells connected to which Companion-beast you choose. For one of those you get Chromatic Orb.

I've made the class-feature, with the three options of beasts. And in each option I was thinking I could add the spells under "Spells". But it won't add Chromatic Orb. It will add the 5th level addon, which is Levitate, but that won't appear in the spell-list of my Ranger anyway.

What am I missing?

crimson lotus
dense viper
uneven lantern
#

You'll only be able to use spells you own in the homebrew system.

sharp summit
uneven lantern
#

That should add it to their spell list so that when you choose any Ranger spell, you can select from those additional options.

sharp summit
#

But when I try to add it in the spells in the options it doesn't find it

Screenshot_20240828_200255_Edge.jpg
sharp summit
dense viper
#

That means you dont own the source book that it is in

sharp summit
#

But not Elemental Weapon and Chromatic Orb

#

Oh its not enough to have access to it through friends?

uneven lantern
#

You need to own the PHB for both of those.

uneven lantern
#

But to have it give the spell directly, you need to own the spell yourself.

sharp summit
#

Oh that explains that then.

But — Levitate, it adds it to the spell-list, nemas problemas, but it refuses be set as Always Prepared.

uneven lantern
#

Levitate is part of the free Basic Rules, so anyone can use that.

#

But again, if you're using Additional Spell List, that simply adds the spell to the class's spell list for your character -- not to your character's known spells.

dense viper
#

The way you added that spell wont let you set it as always prepared.

You would have to add it through the spells tab of the option that you chose to have it always preparred

sharp summit
uneven lantern
#

Yep

sharp summit
uneven lantern
#

Rangers don't prepare spells.

#

So I wonder if having it set there as "Always Prepared" is causing issues.

😆

#

Oh my god

THANK YOU

Does DND Beyond usually take a while to realise you have access to stuff?

is there any way to artificially increase a custom action? like increasing it's to hit bonus

dire blade
#

No. The right way to do this, annoyingly, is to add an item with 2d6 damage dice (ie. greatsword) to your inventory and then edit the action created when you use that. You can customize the item to be more of an "activator" than an actual item. Unfortunately, you'll just have to remember that it actually does psychic damage.

#

Alternatively, you could homebrew a greatsword that does psychic damage and then add that, but it's a lot more work just to get this to function properly enough.

It should be very easy. You just make a copy of any existing circle as homebrew and then copy and paste the text from the MCDM source over the initial text. This doesn't appear to have any particularly noteworthy features that would impede homebrew.

Following the steps they indicated, it appears everything is directing to the correct places, so theres not really a way to tell if this was just user error or some actual shenanigans in the marketplace/email. given that there is no 2024 rulebook bundle for all three books currently available outside the US, and the 2014 bundle is a different price. this person likely misread the email, or is experiencing a typo, but they can easily check account entitlements to see if they have the correct books

I need some major help. My DM introduced oversized weapons due to us facing minotaurs. I wanted to use it, so we discussed what damage that would and the limitations since the DMG PHB or any other source doesn't spell it out in black and white. I'm trying to craft it using +1 greatsword as the base. He said the great axe would do 3d6 (instead of the normal 2d12) for a medium creature with disadvantage unless you have at least 16 strength.

How do I modify the programed 2d6 of the greatsword to be a 3d6? Is there an easier way to apply this damage if I you build it from scratch?

I can get it to say 3d6 damage as a description feature, but it doesn't change for the damage on the action page

That's an unfortunate oversite. They should really have fleshed out stats for at least large category weapons by now. It's the only real increase a martial class can ever get to hope to compete with the damage output of your magic allies, even then it's peanuts to 60-100 damage on the regular. They should really work on that.

At least give the option in homebrew.

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

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

  1. Purchase the full digital book from the marketplace
  2. Purchase a digital/physical bundle from the marketplace
  3. Join a DnDBeyond campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
  4. 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

The short answer is technical limitations.

#

But you could make a homebrew copy of Martial Adept and use that.

I have bought the three pack of 2024 rules, used the code for the digital download but don't see them anywhere, I understand that they have not been released yet but its just weird that I have nothing saying I have them.

As far as I know, that’s always been the case.

It definitely worked, I have monsters on a map that I cant access now, redcaps from Volos

modest pelican
#

No, it didn't. I would know as I've been the one helming the Maps functionality articles on D&D Beyond

#

Redcaps are also found in MOTM.

#

well how come I could acces the tokens and now I cant, I definetely have them on my map lol

#

and I want to add more and I cant, I dont have any books

#

different example with the giant ooze, I had at some point, its on the map, and I cant add it again

Your entitlements may have glitched, allowing you to add tokens you shouldn't have been able to. All I can say is the currently intended behaviour is the shared content isn't usable

glossy ledge
#

can we make that glitch permanent? 😉

#

I am the new dm for this group, and their forever dm has all he content and he shared with me so he can play, doesnt make sense we have to buy all tha again?

I didn’t realize that Maps doesn’t support normal content sharing. I need to go submit some feedback on that right away.

Hello!

We had a break during the summer, and are going back into it tomorrow. However. We are experiencing an issue where the GM cant access the player character sheets anymore.

She is getting booted back to the "My Characters" page

Slots:0/Unlimited

Character Slots Exceeded

Your current D&D Beyond Membership is: MASTER ( slots). To continue, select up to unlimited characters to activate. Your other characters will be deactivated until you restore them by deleting an active character to free up a slot, or by adding more slots with a D&D Beyond Subscription```

Any suggestion on how to get this fixed? 

She is trying to access the player sheets by going into the campaign, then clicking view on the respectable characters.

if I create a campaign (and therefore am the DM of said campaign)
is it possible for me to add one of my characters into the campaign in order to assign it to a player, or no?

#

I see options for creating unassigned characters, but not adding an existing one in

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, just use the same invite link you’d give your players.

cobalt turtle
#

ah I see, thank you

Anyone know how to apply a custom movement penalty on DnDBeyond’s iOS Mobile App? I have a character I’ve made and my DM and I have agreed that, even though he’s a Warforged, him being the height of a Dwarf will incur a penalty to give it a 25 foot movement speed instead of the standard 30 feet.

Or will I just have to work with it being something in my notes?

Never mind. I found how to customize it via “View on Website” option.

Hey, Spell Mastery and Signature Spells aren't working, even after preparing level 1, 2, and 3 spells.

Is there a reason that custom backgrounds take longer to update on the sheet?
I know it's a known issue and that it will udpate at some point, but I was wondering if we knew the reason

fallow glen
#

Not certain if this is the right spot, but I received a promo code from the LGS for an adventure module. The module is showing blank.

cobalt turtle
#

Also, when building a custom background and choosing the background feature of one that would give a feat, you are required to manually add the feat to your character sheet, as it does not add it correctly from the background when done this way.

#

interesting

#

it takes ~15mins to update at most, right?

uneven lantern
#

Not sure on that one specifically.

#

But that’s the guidance for homebrew, at least.

cobalt turtle
#

yeah that's the knowledge I was pulling from

#

any insight on this?

UPDATE: The Wizards Play Network Team has made a change to how you will receive the character sheets and adventure supporting your 50th Anniversary Play Series – 2024 Player's Handbook event. Instead of your Dungeon Masters activating the codes you previously received on D&D Beyond, we are instead providing you with a PDF file for download via e-mail.

Not sure how/if that will change with the new PHB in a couple days.

Can someone help me please?
I have the book Monsters of the Multiverse shared with me by one of my players in our campaign but I'm not able to add the monsters from this book on the DnDBeyond Maps.

Am I obliged to buy the book myself?

uneven lantern
#

I believe you need to own the book yourself to use it in Maps.

Anyone know if we will be able to migrate our old character sheets to the new "rule set" that comes with the new books? Or do we have to recreate them all?

uneven lantern
#

Unclear, since the plan they shared last week has changed.

#

But I imagine you’ll have to manually convert everything if desired.

I upgraded to master tier on DDB so I could share content with my players. Tested maps for the very first time. Used the fog paintbrush tool, and it was super laggy. Other functions seem to work fine, as I tested them. Has anyone else experienced that?

If they’ve added the feat somewhere else, that would explain why it can’t be selected now.

wispy needle
#

They must have added it manually on the character sheet, then confused themselves trying to clear the ! on the edit menu.

uneven lantern
#

Looks like they just manually added it to their sheet, by clicking “Manage Feats” in your last screenshot.

Indeed

If a Kindle can use a web browser to log into DNDB or install the app, yes, but otherwise no.

Items such as Arrows, +3 are not applying the +3 bonus to hit and damage rolls while equipped in dndbeyond
is this a known issue, and do we have a solution that's not "just manually add the value"

Hello all, I have a question and I hope this is the right spot for it. I purchased the Grim Hollow: Players Pack from the marketplace. There is a bow: Bow of Four and I am trying to add it to a character but can't seem ti find it. How do I add it or do I have to make a homebrew/custom one? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I keep getting the "are you human page" thing, I have turned off all extensions that could cause issues, and I am still getting them, I have gotten so far 10 times, with 1 roughly every 2-5 hours give or take, I checked my cookies as well so its not that... idk what keeps tripping the security system on DDB, can someone help me figure this out as these pages are annoying while trying to edit homebrew, among other things?

If that solves the issue, you can re-enable them one by one until you find the culprit.

Are you using a VPN or any security software like Kaspersky?

# uneven lantern Are you using a VPN or any security software like Kaspersky?

no, also I found my entitlements out of sync so I fixed that will see if that fixed if not then I will come back and try something else, as the only extensions left are the built in ones like google docs offline. As for security I use Vipre and it has never caused an issue. (its my antivirus, so turning it off is out of the question)
