[misty field]

like a sourse book for creating the buildings for tokens on map ?

[fading bramble]

this channel is for DnDBeyond help

[misty field]

and i am talking about tolkens for the game

[fading bramble]

are you asking about the Virtual table Top?

[misty field]

There are no map tokens to represent buildings and places.

D&D Beyond maps.

[fading bramble]

dndbeyond feedback should go in the feedback site, but yes, they dont have anything for buildngs

[misty field]

am i alowed to make them as homebrew?

[fading bramble]

cuz buildings are supposed to be part of the initial image

[misty field]

well i am building a town and had to make building tokens. wondering if there was a book for creating a town.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, buildings aren’t typically represented by tokens.

[fading bramble]

its just part of the map istelf

[misty field]

wow. can i homebrew them then?

[fading bramble]

you can make your map image then upload it to the VTT

[uneven lantern]

You could create a homebrew monster to add a token with whatever image you want.

[misty field]

cool

thank you.

[uneven lantern]

But again, buildings and other non-movable parts of the map are typically part of the map image itself.

[fading bramble]

although you can draw lines in the VTT iirc, right?

[uneven lantern]

And then tokens are used for creatures, vehicles, and other things that can move around on the map.

[misty field]

i just made tokens representing buildings, homes and businesses level 20 retirement town. Bars meeting places town hall repair shops.... a town.

[uneven lantern]

If that’s how you want to do it, have fun.

[misty field]

ok cool thank you

[buoyant lichen]

If I buy the 2024 PLayer Handbook, do I get access to all of the new spells (And updated spells from legacy), new class changes, magic items, and new gear?
Does it basically revamp all of the feats and spells and all that stuff I buy the new player handbook?

Cuz we have a bunch of old legacy its and bits

And random homebrew spells that were essentially copies from the actual handbook

[jagged brook]

Ah ha I found the right channel for this

I just wanted to know if there was a way for the DM to add characters to a campaign from the already made characters in their character collection

Like i just found out that i can use the campaigns to like do maps and stuff so I wanted to add my player's into it but I have all their sheets in my character collection on dnd beyond and cant find a way to add them to the campaign on my end

[buoyant lichen]

We've always just made our characters in the campiagn itself, I'm not sure that you can move the characters like you say

[dawn egret]

by using the invite link, yes

[jagged brook]

even if im the dm?

[dawn egret]

yes

[jagged brook]

Ah ha you all are brilliant

Thank you

[honest totem]

Hello, I have a couple of questions about the character builder using 2024 phb. Since during the character creation the builder don't suggest me any origin feat, should I add it manually once completed the creation? Furthermore, I created a 15 Bard with magic initiate druid, but in my spell list I can't see the spells I choose, I can see them only in feature&trait.

[wispy kayak]

thanks, today app was updated, all info is present))

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[uneven lantern]

If you’re using an older background that doesn’t already include an origin feat, yeah, you can manually add one for now.

Not sure what’s going on with Magic Initiate, though. Can you share a link to your character?

[upbeat gale]

My character sheet (using Legacy rules) does not have the option to make Monk attacks DEX based. They are all rolling off STR only. I believe there should be an option for Unarmed Strike (DEX). How can I force this to appear on my sheet?

[stuck charm]

so i am using content sharing with tashas sourcebook. but when i use sidekick (i'm trying to add a sidekick for the party) nothing appears.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[uneven lantern]

If you’re referring to the Extras tab, that’s for the DOIP sidekicks, not the TCOE ones.

[stuck charm]

DOIP?

[uneven lantern]

Dragon of Icespire Peak

If you want a TCOE sidekick there, you can build it as a homebrew monster, then add it under “Misc”.

[blissful tundra]

When one of my companions uses his healing kit applying his healer feat to let me gain hp, i have to spend one of my hit dice. In DDB character sheet I see my spent Hit Dices when I click on "short rest". But since I am not resting I cannot click in "confirm" so I can't use that page to check the hit dice boxes. Is there another way to do that?

[uneven lantern]

Not currently, no.

[uneven lantern]

That seems to be working as intended. Unequipping the shield will get it to use your higher DEX.

You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed or wielding only monk weapons and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:

[upbeat gale]

Oh dear that was so simple! Thank you!

[honest totem]

Sure, here it is

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/132839283/MhSvj4

[uneven lantern]

I see all three of those in your spell list.

Plus Shield farther down.

Is that not what you see?

[honest totem]

You're right, I could have miss'd em while creating the PG, thanks

[buoyant lichen]

Has anybody here bought th 2024 player handbook? Does it improve your experience with building cgaracters and campaign info?

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend asking in https://discord.com/channels/516367331358801950/1252622903669686342.

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

[strange magnet]

can we post screenshots here to show our problem? I'm seeing something weird between two characters in the ability scores page

in short, I have two characters who are 2024 rules, both set to custom backgrounds, but above "Score Calculations" in the ability scores tab one of them has an extra section called "Ability Score Increases" that gives me the opportunity to add a +2 and +1 or a +1,+1,+1. I'm half guessing this is because of the custom background, because there's nowhere to add ASI when you choose custom background in the background tab, but my other character doesn't have it, I just add it manually to the "other modifier" section.

What's weirder is when I use that section to add the bonus, it gets set to "Species Bonus" not "Misc Bonus"

the versatile trait doesn't come with an additional ASI bonus does it?

[uneven lantern]

Can you share links to both those characters?

[strange magnet]

here's the one with the ability improvement section that shows up. I actually noticed on the character sheet, if you look under "species trait" there's an ability improvement listed there, not sure why https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/132686573

this is the other character, since I didn't have that option, you'll notice my ASI for the background is added in "other modifier" for charisma and constitution https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/132528429

[uneven lantern]

That's very strange. 🤔

[strange magnet]

I decided to change the background to not be custom, just chose acolyte, and it disappeared... so it does seem like it might be a section made for custom backgrounds... weird thing is I set it back to custom, and now I can't get it to appear again, so now I had to set his ASI in the other modifier section just like my paladin

[buoyant lichen]

How do I update my homebrew subclasses and spells to work with the new classes

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to remake the subclass for the new class.

And update the spells to include the new class.

[buoyant lichen]

Bascially just go into the spells and click "2024 CLeric"?

[agile nest]

How do I make the "Character Background" section of my character sheet update on the pdf download/printable page?

[buoyant lichen]

Remaking the subclasses though... so much effort...

[agile nest]

No matter what I do its not updating.

[uneven lantern]

The PDF is cached for a short while after you create it. You need to either wait for the cache to expire, clear your cache, or use another browser.

[golden canyon]

So I am creating a fighter subclass that is the exact same as the fighter subclass samurai and I am getting the message
This homebrew Subclass does not have the
necessary class features with the correct
required levels.
Can someone help me

[uneven lantern]

Those errors only matter if you’re trying to publish it to the global community. If you’re just using it in your own campaigns, you can safely ignore that and use the subclass as-is.

That said, if you do want to publish, you can try hitting the main save button to retrigger the validator. If you do have all the right levels, that should go away.

Otherwise, you’ll need to make sure you’re adding features at all the levels expected for a fighter subclass.

[cobalt turtle]

yeah that same thing happened when I made my homebrew warlock subclass for the 2024 warlock
very strange

2024 warlock is 3, 6, 10, 14 right?
I have two at level 3 (spell list, and the actual feature)

[uneven lantern]

And hitting the main save doesn’t make it go away?

[cobalt turtle]

nah

oh hm it did this time

it didn't before. strange.
it also got rid of "hmmm this is too close to Circle of Spores Druid to share with the community"
lol

[frozen junco]

I am leveling up my druid class to lvl 2 and want to choose Circle of the Moon as my circle, but dnd beyond is not allowing it, even tho it has allowed it for me in the past. I purchased the 2024 PHB to gain access to everything, but it is still not allowing me to choose anything other then Circle of the Land. I have checked and all my toggles are turned on. I would prefer not to create a homebrew and just choose Circle of the Moon. Can anyone help me? Please dont tell me i bought this dnd phb for no reason

[fiery gull]

Guys, I need help, my PHB isn’t sharing to the party, even tho the other books is working

[clear river]

Is there a way to auto filter legacy content instead of having to click it off every time i make a character?

[uneven lantern]

All 2024 classes choose their subclass at level 3.

If you’re being shown a choice at level 2, that sounds like you’re set up with a 2014 Druid, where you won’t see the 2024 subclasses.

[uneven lantern]

Have them check whether their entitlements are in sync. 👇

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[uneven lantern]

Not at this time

[misty glacier]

HI, I'm having some drama creating a misfortune bringer rogue from grim hollow. I own it but its not coming up in the drop down

just checked - cant choose carrion crow barb either

or any of the grim hollow sub classes

[fiery gull]

Yes

It’s in sync

[cerulean sundial]

So I live in Canada and ordered the PHB 2024 digital + physical bundle and I haven't recieved my book yet, nor have I received a shipping notice/tracking number. I have submitted a support ticket and haven't received a response.

The status on my Orders page just says Validated.

[cerulean sundial]

Wait, if I ordered all of the bundles separately like this (because that was the only option at the time), do I have to wait for all of the books to be out before they ship?

[edgy oriole]

Only the 2024 Players Handbook would be shipping right now. The DMG isn't expected to ship until November.

[cerulean sundial]

Oh, I know, but I ordered those all at once, and this was in the email:

So do I have to wait until all three are out to get them?

[edgy oriole]

It would be by product item I believe

So no, not untill all books are released but as each book is released

[cerulean sundial]

It says I will get a shipping notice email when the product ships, but I have not received one, so I don't believe they've even sent the PHB yet.

[edgy oriole]

Maybe - they are likely shipping books out in waves for logistic reasons. But to get details for your specific order, do check with Customer Service as they would be able to look things up and confirm where things are in the process.

[misty glacier]

Figured it out - have to use 2014 rogue. Which hadn’t been turning up for some unknown reason at the time on the class screen. All fixed now

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, for now, those third party subclasses are available only on the 2014 classes. (They should be coming to the 2024 ones in time.)

[timid drift]

I am in Canada as well. My physical PHB arrived last week but it had customs slapped on it. Something is up with mail customs lately from the US. Another package of mine is currently being held at customs for 2 weeks already. That's possibly what happened to your book. Also, I never got a tracking email. It totally showed up out of the blue.

[cerulean sundial]

Hey, thanks for the info, I really appreciate it! Out of curiosity, did you order multiple bundles at once or just the PHB one?

[timid drift]

I ordered all 3 books at once with digital bundled. So PHB, MM, and DMG all in one order.

[cerulean sundial]

Okay, that's what I did. You're probably right about customs! Thanks again!

[timid drift]

You're also right to wonder why it hasn't arrived yet. Reaching out to customer support won't hurt.

[cerulean sundial]

I did a few days ago and I'm awaiting a response. 😶

[tawdry sparrow]

Three questions:

Are there plans to implement legacy invocations for warlocks? I'm talking specifically about the "Gift of the Ever-living Ones" from Tasha's.
Also, it appears as if the Lessons of the First Ones doesn't allow one to actually pick an origin feat - I had to manually add it.

Finally - and this is one I'm very concerned about - it appears that the first time I downloaded my character as a PDF, it was cached, and each time I make a change to it, and download it again, the initial PDF version is returned. Is this intentional?

[uneven lantern]

1. I haven't seen an official statement either way.
2. That's a known issue.
3. That's working as expected. If you don't want to wait for the cache to expire, you can clear your cache or try opening it in another browser.

[idle arch]

@fluid ferry Can you explain how/where you see the Optional Class Features on a class's page on the DDB App?

[delicate tendon]

i dont have permission to use looking for dm, how do i get the correct permissions?

[fluid ferry]

@idle arch

https://i.ibb.co/0Zc6960/Screenshot-20240924-162158-D-D-Beyond.jpg

[tawdry sparrow]

Thank you. re:3, do you know how long the cache timeout is?

[idle arch]

OH! This is the 2024 Ranger, which means it uses "expertise" because it is now a defined keyword in the rules. We were discussing the 2014 ranger

[fluid ferry]

Ah sorry, thought I'd clicked on the right thing

👍 I'm dumb

[uneven lantern]

See #find-a-game for instructions.

[uneven lantern]

I think it's like 20 minutes? I'm not exactly sure.

[red yarrow]

Does the rage toggle work for anyone in the web app character sheet? When I first made a barbarian weeks ago I had the option to toggle it on/off, but that option disappeared after a few hours, and it's never shown back up on the character sheet. The dropdown is missing.

[thin leaf]

So, now the "Manage Feats" doesn't allow me to access all feats. How am I supposed to add the homebrew feats to my character that give them the new traits that they should have... if the builder were working properly?

[dire blade]

Have you tried turning off feat prerequisites and enabling homebrew for your character?

It works for me.

[random garnet]

For character building, I'm noticing that when cleric and paladins choose their spells, it says "learn". Is a mistake?

[thin leaf]

Oh, you're so right. I had forgotten that I turned off homebrew for another reason. Thanks, and sorry for the rant.

[buoyant lichen]

How many players can join a campaign on DND Beyond? I'm going to get the Master subscription.

[edgy oriole]

I'm not 100% sure but I think a single DnDBeyond campaign can have 12 active characters in it.

[buoyant lichen]

I see...

Wait, that would still work for a drop in drop out campaign

I could stuff most of them into the deactivated area

So long as there's no player limit

[uneven lantern]

No, 12 players.

Up to 100 characters.

[buoyant lichen]

Fuuuuuu-

Maybe I'll go look at Foundry...

[oak mica]

I'm trying to learn to run a game on Beyond with Maps, and some of the very basics are eluding me. All the videos I've found don't address these so they are probably things that are so obvious to most people that they don't think to mention them. (Background: I usually run on Fantasy Grounds, where I'm fairly competent).
I've figured out how to Create a Campaign, Launch Maps, do whatever I want with Maps, Create an Encounter, and Start Encounter. What I can't do is integrate these things.
So, I have my creatures in an encounter, and I've put matching tokens on the map. But when I'm in the Initiative and HP tracker window, how do I access my NPC stat blocks to roll attacks and things? I don't see any way to move from that window to my campaign window and clicking on the creature in the combat tracker does nothing. Should I just keep three tabs open, each with an instance of Beyond - one with Maps, one with the Encounter and one with my monster stats?
Also, how do I implement effects as they happen? I can use the initiative tracker to record hit point damage, but how do I turn on Rage, or Mage Armor, or anything else that changes die roll targets or modifiers? Do we just keep all that on paper offline?
Is there a REALLY BASIC video that shows game prep and game running from a GM's point of view?

[livid quail]

folks - simple question - In DDB, is there a way to reorder items of equipment on a character sheet? (e.g. if I have a preferred order for general equipment, like weapons first; or a preferred order of items in a backpack?)

[dense viper]

I believe it automatically does it in alphabetical order but you may be able to customize the names of the equipment with number so that they are in the order you want.

Like:

02. Longbow
03. Plate Mail
Etc.```

[harsh swift]

Anyone else having trouble editing the Backstory, Option, Monster, fields nothing I type goes into the field. Trying another character now.

Nope not working on any of my characters

[sharp flame]

Same, it seems to only take one letter, tried different browsers etc

[harsh swift]

Thanks hope they can fix it I use the heck out of those fields

Inventory is Jacked up too type in Bracers of Archery and it finds nothin

[ember wedge]

Same here. Only a few characters appear in a field as I type, and backspace only moves about one in five times I hit it.

[idle arch]

So, one of my players is saying that they can't access the 2024 PHB, even though its being content shared with them. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue?

[fading bramble]

might wanna check entitlements, thats what heppened with a player of mine

[idle arch]

how do I do that?

[fading bramble]

profile, account, check entitlements

[static lodge]

So suddenly my players aren't seeing class features in their Feats section that they used to have, is this a consequence of the new stuff?

[flat wind]

The Stat blocks for most NPCs are available as monsters. It kind of sucks because it throws off the challenge rating. If you have homebrew NPCs you have to add them as a monster in Homebrew.

[oak mica]

So to include a monster in my adventure I must first make an Encounter with them in it?

[flat wind]

Once combat is started you should be able to click on the monster in the encounter turn order and their stat block should show

[oak mica]

(yah I was using NPC in the generic sense to include monsters as well as humanoid characters)

hmm that wasn't happening for me but maybe I hadn't s"started" the encounter. Or maybe since I was testing solo to figure it all out, it didn't see a combat since i owned both the PC and the monster

[flat wind]

The tokens aren’t linked to the encounters, so you have to add all the monsters/npc’s to the map

Yeah, you have to start the encounter to be able to roll from the stat block

[oak mica]

I had an initiative track with the participants in it, showing their hit points. And none of them - PC or monster - were clickable/ "live". So there's another step to "start"?

[flat wind]

It’s really disconnected right now, but my hope is they will add the character sheet to the tokens in the map,

[oak mica]

Having to pre-create encounters means I have to have a pretty good idea of what my players might do. This is an optimistic view of players.

[flat wind]

If you’re using a canned campaign it’s not terrible. I built out all of the random encounters that result in combat and can modify them on the fly pretty quickly. Anything else is pretty quick to set up at this point

[oak mica]

Since what I'll be running is "learn to play" one shots, maybe a canned game is the way to go. I usually don't.

Thanks for your help! I'll see if ti makes more sense with a preloaded adventure.

[sharp flame]

I put in a ticket regarding the notes section of the sheet only taking one character of input. I did find if you are not in the character sheet, but in the builder- you can edit notes there.

[buoyant lichen]

Is it possible to change the portrait of a monster/NPC in beyond maps?
Like, can I give that knight a picture?

[buoyant lichen]

While in the encounter page, you can click on the monster/NPC statblocks in the inittive order list and click to roll dice and attacks and stuff

SO no need for a third page for monster statblocks

I... don't think DND beyond is advanced enough to add the status effects and states yet

FOundry has a bunch of status effect icons like invisible, rage, unconciouness, paralyzed, etc

I think for stuff like that you have to keep track of it yourself

Or if your players are in rage, have them remember that

If a player forgets that they're in rage, that's on them

I mean try to remember that you deal less damage while a player is in rage but it IS their responsbility to remember their status

[buoyant lichen]

God if I could just click a character and have the stat sheet on the right side... I'd be so happy. As it is now we all run multiple tabs to keep the cvharacter sheet and map up

[flat wind]

Preaching to the choir. Lol. I gotta believe they know these things are wanted

[oak mica]

It sounds like moving from Fantasy Grounds to this will require some adjustment of expectations. This is more like Owlbear Rodeo than like FG. But for teaching the game to people who may be playing with pen and paper in person, it might actually be better, and that's what this event is for.

[livid quail]

Mumble…. I guess that’s the answer. related question - how does one submit suggestions for DDB improvement?

[wicked rover]

Is there any way to get help with orders other than the support portal? My PHB (as well as a few others in my gaming group) was cancelled for no explicable reason, I opened tickets 14 days ago and have yet to get a response. I am at a loss for how I can get help with how and why it was cancelled??

[cobalt turtle]

Tickets are dealt with in the order they are received, and with so many people having issues with the new book, there is a backlog of tickets rn.
#server-announcements message
I would read that

[cobalt turtle]

#ddb-feedback

[wicked rover]

While I understand a backlog of tickets. However, neither of the things mentioned in the server-announcements posts happened to me. I received nothing from the team except an email saying my book was cancelled?

[kind lance]

hey if i found a character on ddb but its readonly character sheet how do i download it and interact with it?

[dire blade]

You don’t. The owner would have to transfer the character to you or you’d have to be the DM in that character’s campaign.

[kind lance]

is there a way i could copy it?

[dire blade]

Not to my knowledge, nope.

The character would first have to be transferred to you for you to have duplication privileges.

[dense plaza]

not sure where else to even ask this, but have we ever heard anything else about the griffon's saddlebag book for dndbeyond ?
I wanna say that it's been almost 2 months since they announced it, and aside from seeing it's name in some screenshots for the one dnd character sheet showcases, I believe nothing else has come up ? so far they've announced 3rd party book releases way closer to the actual release date so I was just wondering ?

(apologies if this isn't the right channel, I tried looking through them to find the best one 😖 )

[uneven lantern]

It's definitely still coming, but I'd assume it's delayed from the original (vague) September release.

Given that we've already passed the last Tuesday in September.

Usually they just announce those once it's actually been released, though.

[orchid sparrow]

My Conquest Paladin (2024e) isn't showing his Oath Spells. Is there a clever workaround that will let me add the spells without taking away from the spells known limit?

[tight spoke]

You can. Go to homebrew, create a monster - there you take the Knight as existing template. In this homebrew monster which is now called "Copy_of_Knight", you assign a picture of your choice (square pictures work best in maps). Call this Monster Knight * or something like that and you can add it with your chosen picture in maps.

[lilac trout]

Could someone tell me how to buy a sourcebook that is currently being shared witrh me. (Mobile)

[fading bramble]

go to the marketplace

you might have to go to the website

[lilac trout]

I can't do it on my browser on my PC, because it wants an address

to buy a PDF...

[dense viper]

It isnt a PDF.
The address is for tax purposes

[dense plaza]

Ah well thank you !! Just glad I didn't miss any news then !

[lilac trout]

I seem to not have the full background list?

[uneven lantern]

You said the book is shared with you? Shared character options are available only inside the campaign that's sharing them.

[lilac trout]

I just bought the book myself

[uneven lantern]

Ah. You might want to check if your entitlements are in sync, then.

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[lilac trout]

It seems it is not in the list?

[uneven lantern]

What list?

[lilac trout]

wait I need to redeem it via key now?

my list of licences

[uneven lantern]

You'd only need a key if you purchased it as a gift or purchased it from dndstore.wizards.com (instead of directly on D&D Beyond).

[lilac trout]

oh well, as long as it still gives me the stuff I'm good, brb lemme check

[uneven lantern]

If you did purchase it as a gift, you'd be able to find the code here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/my-gifts

[lilac trout]

Fixed, thank you, I must have accidentally clicked a gift check box or something

[tidal totem]

When I set restrictions to try a new character in D&D Beyond using only 2024 Free Rules to test out things before making the 2024 PHB jump, I cannot add any gear and have to revert to my 2014 PHB to add gear. Yet gear and tools are listed within the 2024 Free Rules. (https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/equipment#AdventuringGear)

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

its kinda embarrasing to say but im stuck on the beginning

[uneven lantern]

Which is what exactly?

[kind lance]

for now im stuck on these

@uneven lantern

[uneven lantern]

I need more information here. Help me help you.

Are you just trying to figure out which options you should pick? Are you looking for specific options that you can't find? What about this image has you stuck?

[kind lance]

like the skills and feat said in vid i didnt understand

[lofty holly]

I'm having this issue too. The good news is I can at least edit the backstory without issue in the character creator (ie, click the anvil)

[uneven lantern]

I haven't watched the video (and respectfully, I'm not going to).

[kind lance]

no problem

[uneven lantern]

What did it say about skills and feats? What are you actually trying to do?

The more accurately you can explain the situation, the better we can help you.

[native shoal]

There's a link under the video to the character sheet, you should be able to see on there what they selected.

https://ddb.ac/characters/30044637/H4f2p2

E.g. they've taken common and orc as languages, and Great Weapon Master as their Variant Human feat. For skills they have Acrobatics, Athletics, Intimidation, Perception, Persuasion and Survival. You won't be able to pick them all on that screen though, some will come from your class/background/level up.

Also be aware that the video is using the "Legacy" classes (as its 4 years old). You'll need to turn on the legacy toggle on the first page and select the correct version of the class (if you haven't already).

[kind lance]

as for language i can pick only one and for skills I can only pick 1 skill but for intimidation and athletics they come with soldier default and for weapon equipment i can only pick greataxe and chainarmor i dont see great axe of wounding

[kind lance]

btw the battlemaster option is not avaliable for some reason?

[native shoal]

I forgot that you get Common for free, so only need to choose Orc for language.

Skills you'll get to pick more from your class choices. Looks like they start with a Fighter, which gives two more options, you get the two from the Soldier background, and I'd guess the other is from one of the higher levels/other classes (probably Survival from one of the Ranger levels).

Axe of Wounding you have to add after character creation from the Inventory screen. For now just pick the Chainmail & Greataxe, plus your choice of the other starting equipment.

Have you definitely selected the "legacy"/2014 Variant Human and the "legacy"/2014 Fighter? Looks like you're using the 2024 versions which are slightly different.

[kind lance]

yes i have the lagacy enabled

[kind lance]

the sentinal feat isnt avaliable also

[native shoal]

Do you have the relevant subclasses/feats etc unlocked on your account, either from buying the old players handbook or from buying them individually in the old marketplace? It's only showing the Champion subclass and Grappler feat under legacy in your screenshots, which suggests you only have the free rules, in which case you won't have all the options you need.

[kind lance]

sad

[native shoal]

Indeed. It used to be that you could buy the individual features for a couple of $ each, so could make something like this pretty cheaply. You have to buy complete books now though, and I've just noticed it uses stuff from Xanathars Guide to Everything as well, so you'd have to pay $60 for both books just to create this one character. Otherwise you'll have to find someone who's subscribed, has those books, and is willing to share their content with you.

[neat badger]

Trying to make a new druid on dndbeyond - only have access to circle of the land, the 4 from xanathars/tashas. Any ideas?

[winter oxide]

So I have a home brew item I want to make that has charges, and is a wondrous item preferably.
The description is

As a Bonus Action: Has 5 charges, every charge you can discharge a small wisp of energy towards an enemy to deal 1d8 lightning damage in a 5 feet radius. Has 45 feet of range.

As a full action: You throw the Crystal and uses all its charges, the Crystal violently discharges energy and deal 5d6 lightning damage in a 10 feet radius. Has 45 feet of range.

The Crystal recharges every long rest back to full charge.

Info: Hextech Crystals are magical crystals. They were first made by harvesting the magic of the sleeping Brakerns, basically just magical crystal scorpions that protect Shurima.
The Crystals are the pride of Piltover, and now can be produced without harvesting the souls of the Brackern, therefore, making it cheaper and easier to produce.

Is there anyway to make this? So far, I’ve only been able to make it into an weapon and have to add the attacks manually

[buoyant sparrow]

Cleric spells on app, are broken

[delicate gate]

are invokations fixed yet?

[gaunt bloom]

i’m unable to replicate this issue

[buoyant sparrow]

Cleared apps cache, created new cleric issue still persists

[gaunt bloom]

Let me try on my android device.

Nope still unable to replicate, but I'll pass it along anyway.

[buoyant sparrow]

Cheers

[pale granite]

so i cant add any of the partnered content to my character sheet even though its enabled on the character

[ember wedge]

Thanks. I tried that and it worked for me. At least there is a work around. I wonder why it just started yesterday, and why only a few of us seem to have this problem.

[prisma meadow]

As a DM, how do I share my digital content with player's?

[lapis geyser]

its not available for 2024 characters

[lapis geyser]

have a master sub, create a campaign with content sharing enabled

[prisma meadow]

yes I have a master acct. thanks.

[uneven lantern]

Yet

[pale granite]

its a 2014 character using 2014 classes

[uneven lantern]

At the top of your campaign page, there should be a button that says “Enable Content Sharing”.

[uneven lantern]

What specific content are you trying to add?

[pale granite]

stuff from ebon tides

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific?

Is there a certain spell you’re after, or…?

[pale granite]

the douse light cantrip using the 2014 magic initiate - wizard

[uneven lantern]

I do see it on mine, so I don’t think it’s a technical issue…

Did you buy the book yourself, or is it being shared with you?

[pale granite]

its shared content

[uneven lantern]

Is your character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?

[pale granite]

yes

[uneven lantern]

Can you check if your entitlements are in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

[pale granite]

says its in sync

[uneven lantern]

Hmm…

Can you share a link to your character?

[pale granite]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/133209554/oxEUZa

[edgy oriole]

Have we toggled partnered content on the sheet?

Yep looks like it's been toggled

[uneven lantern]

And just to clarify: you don’t see any options from that book?

Not spells, species, subclasses, anything?

[pale granite]

i dont see any options but the core rules, expanded rules, and legacy 2014 stuff + homebrew

[uneven lantern]

Who in this campaign has purchased that book?

[pale granite]

the dm

[uneven lantern]

Actually, it looks to me as though your character already has that spell.

Is that not what you see?

Though even in that case, I’d expect it to show in Magic Initiate…

[pale granite]

damm i see i have it now but im still not able to see any of the partnered content as options available

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I’m honestly not sure at this point.

I’d suggest asking your DM to confirm they have the book listed here under Current Product Licenses:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

And check that whoever enabled Content Sharing still has an active subscription.

[pale granite]

i will double check, thanks for the help

[uneven lantern]

If that still comes up empty, you may need to contact customer support to have them check under the hood.

[sudden gorge]

Hi all. I've got the new PH on DnD Beyond (purchased) and have started creating characters using the 2024 rules. Unfortunately, all of my pre-existing Homebrew (subclasses and spells in particular) are not showing up as options when I try to create a character. They show up on my old (pre 2024 update) characters, but not anything I create now. I've made sure to activate 2014 content in character creation, and am a loss for what is causing it. Anyone encountered this issue and/or found a solution?

[gaunt bloom]

If it was a homebrew subclass or spell for a 2014 class, it won't be available for a 2024 class (and vice versa). They're functionally separate classes in the system. In order to use the older homebrew, it would need to be updated or remade for the new 2024 version.

[sudden gorge]

That was it. Thank You!

[golden fox]

uhhh has anyone else ever noticed that the dark mode on dnd beyond turns the text black too on notes?? is there a fix?

[scenic grove]

can't roll dice on the site using google chrome. haven't been able to for at least 3 days. can get around it using Opera GX, but chrome is definitely my preferred browser. this is the longest me not being able to roll has persisted.

[edgy oriole]

Is Chrome configured to use hardware acceleration? If that’s toggled off it could impact/prohibit dice rolling.

[livid quail]

I noticed this as well - my workaround is to highlight the text so I can read it…

[scenic grove]

it was on. I toggled it off and back on again, but still no luck.

[quaint herald]

i saw somewhere someone with the same issue had to clear out cookies/cache as the browser was holding onto bad links to dice images/textures.

[solid kestrel]

The character editor is constantly flashing between black and white and this background. I have no idea why. I've turned off all extensions on DDB and it's still so weird

[unborn cairn]

Am i the only one or can you now for some reason not access tiefling subraces from mordekainens?

the option for it is fully gone

[uneven lantern]

They definitely still exist.

Do you have Legacy enabled for that character?

[gaunt bloom]

Can I get a character id for a character that is facing this issue? This would help the team identify the issue.

[uneven lantern]

A link to the character should be enough.

[buoyant sparrow]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/musicandmovies789_132828624.pdf

[gaunt bloom]

I need a character URL, not a PDF

You may need to open it in a browser to get the link. I don't see a way to get it from the app.

[buoyant sparrow]

I'll send it later

[odd pebble]

hey guys i have a question about the dndbeyond website. i've got 2 accounts for some reason and have all my sourcebooks on 1. it's not convenient for me to log onto this account anymore and was wondering if there was a way to transfer the books to the other account? the issue im having is that it's an acc using apple login details and for some reason i dont have the option to use apple credentials on the ddb mobile app on android??

[uneven lantern]

The easier solution would be to just add an additional login method to your existing account.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

Otherwise, you'd have to talk to Customer Support about combining the accounts.

?tag ddb support

[loud sedge]

D&D Beyond customer support can be contacted at the link below. Requests are answered in the order they're received. Submitting multiple requests for the same issue can result in a delayed response.
http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[odd pebble]

i actually just found that option just now. unlinked my apple and linked in a diferent account and it seems to work perfectly now thanks

as a DM hosting on a campaign on the website do my players get access to my sourcebooks as well or do I have to have a master sub?

[uneven lantern]

Someone in the group would need a Master Tier subscription. It doesn't necessarily have to be you (though it certainly can be).

But then they can activate Content Sharing for that campaign, and everyone's books will get shared with everyone else.

[odd pebble]

understood, thanks

[lyric hull]

Hi! One of my players is having issues with adding a Humblewood Race for their character creation.

-I do have the book
-She did accept the campaign link
-sharing content is on in the campaign
-she does have humblewood on
-she does have 2014 legacy on.
-her app is updated

• same issue on both app and browser

[uneven lantern]

Is this character assigned to that campaign?

Can you have her check if her entitlements are in sync? 👇

?tag ddb entitlements

[lofty holly]

Just a quick question, if you're in the character editor, and you go to another page, nothing bad will happen to the sheet you were editing, correct?

[slim anchor]

Correct. It's very hard to lose progress in a character creation.

[lyric hull]

It looks like her character is assigned to the campaign

[frosty osprey]

I have an issue where the character pdfs are competly blanks, or at least show up completely blank

[sand iris]

not really sure where to send this but is there an update on 2024 phb shipments? I live in Canada and bought the physical + digital bundle and have not heard anything about it being shipped and its been over a week since release

[lyric hull]

She says entitlements are in sync

[delicate gate]

most recent bug fixes?

[lyric hull]

Should be, she doesn't see anything and everything is updated

I checked my entitlements and they're synced.
I turned off and on sharing content.

Yup

Works now

Turned off and on sharing content
Went to my contents and tapped/clicked on share all for both adventures and sourcebooks

[lofty holly]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/30066910
I noticed that, under Features and Traits, "Red Dragon" is in bold text. I was just wondering if that was how it's supposed to be appearance wise

Things like "Draconic Bloodline" under sorcerous origin and "Intimidation" and "Persuasion" under proficiencies in the same tab are not in bold

[tropic roost]

hey yall im homebrewing a bunch of new species but im new to adding them in dnd beyond and have some questions, is this the best place to ask on discord or is there a better channel to ask questions

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Ask away!

[tropic roost]

Awesome! I want a subclss to learn one additional cantrip from the Divination or Enchantment schools as a granted trait... what settings would i use

[uneven lantern]

Once you add a class feature, you should see a Spells section inside.

If you add a Spell there and set the spell level and schools, it will then prompt them to choose from those spells.

[tropic roost]

ok perfect... if i wanted to increase drakvision to 120 feet, I would just make this a new spell right?

[uneven lantern]

No. Alongside Spells, you should see a section for Modifiers.

You'd probably want to add one with:

• Type: Sense
• Subtype: Darkvision
• Fixed Value: 120

[tropic roost]

Perfect, thank you for your help, im sure ill have more questions later lol

[lofty holly]

@uneven lantern I apologize for the ping. If you could let me know I’d appreciate it!

[uneven lantern]

Yes, that's intentional.

[lofty holly]

Thank you!

[vague kraken]

2 issues. Recently bought the players handbook 2014 edition and the data is sync'd. still not showing content. Example, paladin only has 2 subclasses: devout and oathbreaker.
I bought tash's book a while back and magic items not apprearing. Example, amulet of the devout is not showing up.

What do i do

[sudden rover]

I doubt this is going to get me anywhere, but I am missing my DDB copy of the new PHB. I preordered through Wizards (I'm Canadian, so I had no choice). Physical copy showed up, no digital. Sent in a request ticket 23 days ago, and haven't had a response whatsoever. I've synced my entitlements, but it's not there at all. It's like my order never even got taken to DDB from Wizards. I'm extremely frustrated by Wizards' poor customer service.

[lapis geyser]

you would have gotten a code through email to redeem if you bought through wizards

[sudden rover]

I didn't receive an email, other than the one for the preorder bonuses.

[lapis geyser]

you didnt get a confirmation for the order at all?

[sudden rover]

I found it. It was in the original order confirmation, way down at the bottom, after following a very subtle link. My bad. Thanks for the help.

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Legacy enabled for that character?

Are your entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[vague kraken]

@uneven lantern i have tried both. Legacy on and off and like I said before my entitlements say they are synced

but yes legacy is on

[sharp flame]

amazon sells keys now too

[vague kraken]

I have also cleared my cache and relogged

[uneven lantern]

Does it show the PHB here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[vague kraken]

yes it does @uneven lantern

[uneven lantern]

Ah! It’s because you’re using the 2024 Paladin class.

[vague kraken]

Good sir, how would I change that?

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to remove the existing class and then add the 2014 one instead.

You should see it further down the list under Legacy when choosing your class.

[vague kraken]

Nvm! I got it. Thanks spam. I need to learn the difference between the 2014 and 24. Im not use to all this new stuff. Thank you!

[uneven lantern]

And then for the Tasha’s items, you’ll need to also enable Expanded Rules for that character.

[vague kraken]

understood looking into itn ow

showing up. thank you! youve been a very fine dish indeed with your insights. A natural 20

[jagged meteor]

did they ever add back the ability to filter out marketplace items you already own

I'm trying to look at this fall sale but have no idea which of these books I already own

[buoyant sparrow]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/132828624

Spell lists appear normally on the website, seems to be only on the app its bugged

[gaunt bloom]

Thanks! I'll pass this to the team. They can probably check it from the mobile side

[feral loom]

Hey all I'm so sorry if this has been asked a thousand times, but I just bought a subscription to DND Beyond, and after creating characters for everyone in my party the characters aren't showing up in the campaign I created. Does anyone have a solution?
I have done the following:

1. cleared cache.
2. made characters public
3. made copies of characters
4. joined the campaign from my significant others account, still saw no characters.
5. leveled up characters and brought them back down and refreshed.

I'm lost now. Any insight would be super helpful. Thanks.

What I did notice is that if I create a character from the campaign menu, then the characters show up.

[naive lodge]

I believe you need to add them via the invite link then unassign them.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, add them using the invite link, then unassign them on the campaign and send your players the same link.

[balmy venture]

I submitted a support ticket on the 23rd and am yet to hear anything back about it. Is this a normal time to be waiting for a response or should I submit a second support ticket about it 😅

Its in regards to a purchased 2024 PHB delivery (or lack thereof)

[peak igloo]

Please do not resend your support ticket. The Customer Support Team works on them in the order they receive them and making another one would push you down the line even further. Please have patience as they have a larger then usual load at the moment to deal with.

[balmy venture]

Thx. Any clue on what the expected response time for support tickets is like at the moment?

[peak igloo]

That is beyond my knowledge I'm afraid. I just know that the amount of work they have to deal with is pretty large and I feel bad for them ^^' I hope they can help you soon!

[balmy venture]

yeah totally understandable, appreciated

[cobalt turtle]

Second ticket would put you further back in line. Don't shoot yourself in the foot like that

[daring gyro]

How long is the sale?

[uneven lantern]

I haven't actually seen an end date specified anywhere. 🤔

[fading bramble]

i would say fall

[cobalt turtle]

it is autumn. we've passed the equinox

not sure when WotC's quarter change happens though

[daring gyro]

I've got money coming in. just planning how to spend it lol

[cedar marten]

So I want to get the book that gives me the winged variant tiefling, which one is it ? Sword Coast Adventurer's guide / The Adventurer's Guide

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, SCAG

[cedar marten]

You 100% ?

How can I verify for myself ?

[uneven lantern]

The DDB app:

[cedar marten]

Ahh ok ty it worked

[fallow cipher]

I'm having some trouble with notes in the character sheets, it's really glitchy and doesn't work. My players have tried to change it and so have I, but it won't work.

[brisk wraith]

Is there a list to show the old module numbers of the six adventures in Infinite Staircase?

[uneven lantern]

Each chapter has an "About the original" sidebar with the original cover and a short description.

The cover for The Lost City says "Dungeon Module B4", for example.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/qftis/the-lost-city#SettingtheAdventure

[brisk wraith]

Okay, cool. As I've gotten older, my memory has gotten worse, so I was hoping there would be something in there to refresh my memory. Thank you!

[prisma tundra]

Heya, how do I use my pact weapon through ddb sheets for 2024

[sharp sinew]

Yo so quick question, I'm on DDB website making a character for a campaign and I want to be a way of mercy monk but even though I bought Tasha's the subclass isn't showing up astral self is but not Mercy any ideas how to get it to show up?

[ruby spruce]

I’ve had the same problem recently. To amend my notes I have to do it in the character editor.

[dense viper]

Do you have the expanded rules turned on?

[sharp sinew]

Yes I do

[uneven lantern]

If you're using the 2024 Monk, you'll need to use the 2024 version of that subclass found in the 2024 PHB.

If you want to use the old version from TCOE, you'll need to use the old class from the 2014 PHB.

[sharp sinew]

How do i swich between the 2 if I may ask?

[uneven lantern]

Remove the 2024 one and add the 2014 one instead.

[sharp sinew]

And how do I remove that? I looked it up and it said you can't disable it right now?

[uneven lantern]

Click on the weapon you want to use, then look for the Pact Weapon checkbox in the sidebar.

[uneven lantern]

Right next to your level is a big red ❌. Clicking that will remove the class.

[sharp sinew]

Okay I deleted it but I don't see any option to chise which version?

[uneven lantern]

All the classes under "Core Rules" are the 2024 versions.

The 2014 versions are under "Legacy" further down the list.

[sharp sinew]

OHHH there it is!!

[prisma tundra]

Super, thanks!

[thin flume]

How do you do a legacy class in D&D Beyond ie. 1st level cleric with a subclass

[dense viper]

The legacy class are under the 2024 core classes. You have to have the legacy check box ticked on the first page of the creator for them to show

[thin flume]

I turn them all on that only helps with spells and other things not classes

I already have all the other legacy stuff working just not classes. Is like they didn't include those

[dense viper]

You arent scrolling down far enough on the pick a class page if you dont see the Legacy versions of the classes

[thin flume]

I'll look again ty

You are awesome.
When I contacted tech support they sent me this and that's it

And didn't explain much else
So ty for your help

[dire blade]

Can you homebrew ammunition somehow?

[edgy oriole]

I don't believe that's possible (homebrew mundane ammunition). You can take existing ammunition and make a homebrew copy I believe.

[brittle vale]

Hi im having an issue where i do not have access to my sourcebooks, even though i purchased the sourcebook bundle back in 2021

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to access them?

[brittle vale]

i figured it out lol

[earnest bison]

So, I have a character in one campaign. However, I’d like to be able to use the same character in another campaign. Anyone know how to do that or would I need to recreate the character sheet in the new campaign to be identical?

[uneven lantern]

A character can only be assigned to one campaign.

You can either remove it from the existing campaign and then add it to the new one.

Or go to My Characters and make a copy of them.

[earnest bison]

I’ve made the copy.

[deft maple]

So I'm trying to link my D&D Beyond account to my discord and it says my discord needs to be verified? Problem is, it's been verified for 4 years, idk what the actual issue is

I removed and reapplied my verification, did nothing

[harsh swift]

so typing in the other field is still not working is there any chance a fix is coming ?

It's causing problems with custome thing and story line stuff in my game

[deft maple]

Yeah, nobody else in the campaign I'm in is having this issue. No idea if a fix is coming, every post I've seen about it never got a response

[harsh swift]

sad it is a really imoortant thing to have on a character sheet

Just did a copy and paste from a word document and despite not showing it did enter it in other when I hit enter

[uneven lantern]

Where is it showing this message?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue. In the meantime, you should be able to edit it in the Background section of the character builder.

[harsh swift]

thanks just have to hit copy paste a few times and then delete the extras very annoying but better than nothing

[uneven lantern]

Even if you do it through the character builder instead?

[harsh swift]

I'll try

the copy paste works smooth in that

[spark summit]

Can we not have ASI increases for custom origins?

[spark summit]

nvm found it

[delicate gate]

Hey are agonizing blast, repelling blast, and the other invokations fixed yet?

[uneven lantern]

Are you still experiencing the same issues on your character sheet?

[rancid moon]

i can't seem to add some homebrew items since the update to 2024. is this a common bug?

[uneven lantern]

I haven’t heard of anyone else having issues there.

Do you have Homebrew Content enabled for that character?

Are the items still in your My Homebrew Collection? (Not just in My Homebrew Creations?)

[full seal]

Is their any (5e) races that self heal or gain healing while standing or being in water?

[uneven lantern]

You can ask in #character-discussion if you’re looking for help finding character options.

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

[maiden swift]

It's looking like racial feats aren't locked out based on character species anymore. (On my elf character I can see every other racial feat in the feat selector). Is this something to do with the 2024 system?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue.

[maiden swift]

Ahh, gotcha.

[viscid reef]

I just went to make an aberration wizard, and I definitely bought the book with this subclass, but it's not there in the drop-down subclass menu. Apparently it's been moved to the 2024 players handbook, along with a whole bunch of others, so now half my character options are softlocked behind a $30 dollar purchase.

[verbal creek]

Aberration wizard?

[uneven lantern]

If you meant abjuration, the new PHB contains both a new wizard class and a new Abjurer subclass.

But you can continue to use the 2014 School of Abjuration with the 2014 wizard class.

[olive delta]

I am having some issues with character creation in dndbeyond. I'm a first-time DM this time around and got the subscription for dndbeyond. I have the 2024 players handbook and some expanded rules that include backgrounds like Investigator and Rewarded. If I, as the dm, go and make a character I have all the backgrounds available to choose from. My boyfriend who I sent the link to our campaign to goes to make a character but only sees the core rules backgrounds...but only the free ones. Nothing from the books I bought. I'm sharing content with my players but have some turned off to avoid spoilers for our upcoming session. Do I have to have all sourcebooks shared for the background options to work?

[uneven lantern]

Is that character assigned to your campaign?

Are his entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[olive delta]

Yeah, it is. We have another separate campaign where he has all options available. This one doesn't for some reason though. It's something wrong with my new campaign I made for some reason. I just don't know what it is that is wrong with it.

The one that works for him is one that is a pre-made campaign but the one that doesn't work for him is one I made on my own.

I'm very new to this all.

[verbal creek]

Have you made sure content sharing's enabled?

[olive delta]

Yeah it all is. Also have the one grung above and that race isn't showing up for anybody either. 😦

Okay wait we good nvm

[lilac trout]

How do I add tokens to DnDBeyond Maps?

The only way I see to do it is to make player characters and add them to the camapaign

I own like every sourcebook digitally so I should have quite a few... But don't know how to find or add them.

[tight spoke]

Homebrew a Monster, for example choose knight as template. Name it „Knight *“ or something, change the pictures and then search for your „Knight *“ to get the monster with an individual token.

And ofc use the search bar in the monster tab in the first place.

[lilac trout]

The search bar just brings up a load of stuff I can't use despite owning the sourcebook they are from...

[prisma tundra]

How can I make a homebrew class on ddb?

[spiral stream]

You purchased those books yourself?

Are your account entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[oblique ravine]

It's been raised already, but all of my players yesterday were unable to edit their notes in the character sheets.

[midnight rune]

Lost Laboratory of Kwalish content does not appear on 2024 Character sheets when you use a 2024 class, is there a way to circumvent this?

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Legacy enabled for that character?

All those charity releases are under the Legacy toggle.

[midnight rune]

Yes I do

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of something from the book you’re unable to add?

[midnight rune]

Flock of Familiars

@uneven lantern

Galders tower and the other galders spell iirc as well

[uneven lantern]

Thanks. Looks like those spells are only tagged for the old classes. I’ll pass it on the devs for a look.

[midnight rune]

Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

In the meantime, you could make a homebrew copy of those spells and add it for the new classes.

[midnight rune]

Thats what i did for now

[scenic grove]

looks like sorcerous burst's damage is only scaling on the acid damage.

[verbal creek]

That goes for Chromatic Orb and spells like it. Technical limitation, I think.

[grim breach]

So sorry if this has already been mentioned a while ago, but are there plans to add the filter back on the marketplace page to exclude books and content to buy that you already own? I really want to make sure I have all of the books but it’s really tedious to go look at each one to see if it has the “you already own this” label.

[wide elk]

That cool it would be a pain to own it twice

And it would help to know what books you own

[lucid juniper]

i cant seem to change my notes at all

and they're in black text for some reason

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue at the moment. For now, you should be able to edit it in the Background tab of the character builder.

[ember condor]

So my friend bought mythic odyssey of theros as a gift for me. When you order digital books do you get them sent to you instantly? He used private relay when buying the book and he's gotten nothing yet even though he just purchased the book

If anyone has any insight that'd be very helpful 🙏

[uneven lantern]

If they purchased it as a gift, they should be able to find the gift key here:

[uneven lantern]

The D&D books are definitely sold in bookstores, but you’d have to contact your local store for availability.

At the moment Customer Service is dealing with more tickets then usual. Please have patience until they reach out to you through your ticket. Please keep in mind that tickets are taken care of in the order they arrive so making a new ticket will push you further down the line, causing longer wait times in the process.

[twin stone]

Hello! I preordered the 2024 PHB, DMG and MM digital and physical versions back in June on the UK D&D Store. All preordered separately (no option to purchase as a bundle in the UK). I’ve still not received a notification that my PHB has been dispatched and we’re almost two weeks past the release date now. Anyone else had the same problem? The website makes it very difficult to raise a support ticket, so if anyone has a link for that, I’d be grateful, please.

[hoary citrus]

Hi,
It seems that the 'Notes' section of the ddb character sheet is not working correctly. I can enter no more than a single character and can't edit whatever is already there.

[formal peak]

I didn't write a new ticket, but added more info to my original ticket with a second message in the same ticket thread. Does this shove me down the line as well?

[quaint raptor]

When creating a character, I enabled legacy content and selected all legacy things, from class to background, but when choosing starting weapons, I only see 2024 version weapons. Is there any way to select legacy weapons?

Hello.
I've used Maps through a projector for my party of PCs, and I want to say it's so damn good and convenient!

Now, question: could PCs access Maps through the app and move their token from there? Or would it work only in browser version?

No, that should not knock you down the line as it’s still your original ticket.

[edgy oriole]

At this time they can only access it via browser.

[odd fable]

quick question

r the prices in dndb martketplace only in usd and not in local currency?

my purchase came out to $32.99 but was billed $48.05

[edgy oriole]

Taxes are added at time of purchase - that's likely why.

But if you have questions about your order please contact customer service.

As with Spells, we’ve created brand new entities for each of the 2024 equipment - with the exception of armor and weapons (especially as our system relies on the existing weapons and armor for Magic Items). All of the 2014 versions of equipment that have been updated in the 2024 Player's Handbook now have the Legacy tag.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/204813-players-handbook-issues-and-support-thread

The weapons are largely identical except for the addition of mastery properties, but a character needs mastery with the weapon to use that property.

If you need, though, you can add a custom action to your character to match the 2014 version.

[uneven lantern]

Prices on the website are displayed in USD only. Prices in the app will reflect your local currency.

[uneven lantern]

Monsters of the Multiverse contains the updated versions of the things in Volo's.

[tawdry sparrow]

Is this the correct forum for asking what the expected roadmap for DnDBeyond and backwards compatibility is?

Specifically, I'd like to know when the Warlock Invocations from Tashas and Xanathars will be implemented for a 2024 warlock.

Thank you in advance!

[reef salmon]

Is it confirmed that you can't use the codes for previous a la cart purchases along with a dndbeyond sale? Because over the weekend I tried purchasing some books during the fall sale, and of course having previous bought sections of the books via the a la cart system I wanted to use my codes to get the correct pricing I should be paying, but none of the codes work. Now today as the sale is over, my codes magically work. So does that mean during dndbeyond sales I have to choose between repurchasing the entire content again, despite the fact that I may have already purchased 80% of the book? Or use my codes and don't get to participate in sales?

[oblique ravine]

I don't know what you're talking about when you say "my codes" but most companies don't let you double-discount things so it's likely that you wouldn't be able to use multiple promos.

[reef salmon]

The promo codes are what they provide you if you previously made a la cart purchases on the books.

And it’s not exactly a “double-discount” when you previously purchased sections of the product, it’s getting the rightful discounted price.

[oblique ravine]

You're already getting the discount for having made the previous purchase. And additional discount would be a double discount.

I didn't realize they gave codes for that, the marketplace used to do it automatically.

[native shoal]

If you bought parts of books from the old store you're entitled to have the value of them deducted from the price of the full book if you purchase it (so that whether you buy as a whole or in pieces you should never pay more than the full book price). This also applies during sales, although I can't remember if you deduct from the full price then apply the sales % discount, or deduct from the reduced sales price. I believe the latter, as I "completed" a couple of rulebooks very cheaply in one sale as I'd already bought most of the options piecemeal.

Unfortunately while DDB have confirmed that these discounts still apply, the new marketplace doesn't directly support them, so you have to contact support for a discount code. There's been no mention of them no longer being valid during sales, so this seems to be (another) bug. Unfortunately when the sales are only a week or two long, and support (according to the forums) often takes 2-4 weeks to respond the result is that people won't be able to get the discounts they're entitled too.

Assuming of course that this isn't a one-off, but there's been so many other issues I wouldn't be surprised.

[oblique ravine]

But it's just like me having a Legendary Bundle discount. I can't get that discount on top of a sale price.

[reef salmon]

I'm now sure if you've ever made any a la cart purchases when the system was in place, but yes actually you were able to get both the sale price and the discounted price based on how much you previously purchased from the book(s). Because they acknowledged the fact that if you purchased a section of the book and if a sale was taking place, then you shouldn't be prevented from participating in the sale. Nor should you have to repurchase the entire book or sections of the book again just to be able to use the sale price.

Now when the marketplace was updated in April-May and they removed the a la cart system, and you now have to contact support for a "discount code" to get the correct pricing for previous purchases, it was never stated or mentioned that you can not use a promo code from the a la carts during a sale. Which is simply what I'm trying to get confirmed to avoid future disappointment.

[native shoal]

I believe the bundle discounts are treated differently as they're a) a percentage discount rather than a fixed price and b) they apply to every book released now and in the future (more or less). That's why they don't stack with other sales. Ignore, incorrect info.

[tardy quest]

None of the text entry boxes on the character sheet are working correctly. Text does not enter properly - only a few characters appear and the cursor jumps to the end of the text box. This includes all the tabs in Notes, the Appearance box under Background, and the Other Possessions tab in Inventory among others. There are lots of threads in the bugs forum but no response from DDB regarding the issue. Any ETA on when it will be fixed? I realize there are lots of issues with the character creator at the moment but for many folks the notes features are an essential element for using characters on DDB.

[oblique ravine]

Known issue.

[clever ruin]

Is there a way to homebrew a monster companion that's tied to your PB?

[native shoal]

Ignore my last post, I misunderstood the post I was reading (it was talking about it not stacking with the 2024 bundles).

According to the posts by LaTiaJacquise & Davyd on page three of this thread , the old bundle discounts should stack with sales of individual digital books (although possibly 1st party only), unless stated otherwise (and LaTia is not aware of any past or future sales where it would not apply).

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/198464-bundle-discounts-no-longer-stack-with-sales-in-the?page=3

However from the rest of the thread it also appears that the discount isn't working for some reason, and support don't reply fast enough to deal with it before the sales over.

[reef salmon]

Yeah, I responded to them immediately when I received the promo codes, but unfortunately it was already late on Friday when they even emailed me. I was hoping for an update today, but also I didn't realize that the sale ended today

[cyan compass]

Hello, I want D&D beyond to show me spells from only partnered content. As can be seen here, I have set partnered content to 'Yes', however, there are still spells like 'absorb elements', which are baseline D&D (it seems to be a mix between partnered content and baseline spells). Is there a way to show exclusively partnered content?

[uneven lantern]

I'm afraid not

[uneven lantern]

You could try searching by Source Category as well.

[cyan compass]

That works much better. Thank you!

[unkempt jay]

2014 monk's aren't getting the correct damage die - DnDBeyond reports it should be (for example on a lv 4 Monk) a D4, but rolls a D6 (which is the 2024 monk damage die)

[uneven lantern]

That's a known issue.

Martial Arts. We don't have a method of disambiguating the Martial Arts granted by the 2014 Monk and the one from the 2024 Monk. As such, all Monks will temporarily match the 2024 Monk's Martial Arts Die until we’re able to fix this.

I've had that before. It's corrupted data on your phone, and you need to fully uninstall the app and reinstall it.

[modest gust]

Hey, so I currently have a level 4 Monk set up (Legacy Monk), and at that level, my martial arts die is a d4. All of my other stuff uses a d4, but my unarmed strike is doing 1d6 damage for some reason. Anyone know what's up?

Are there any known issues with not being able to purchase the PHB through the online store? I enter all of my information and it kicks back an error telling me some input fields are invalid (name, card #, cvv, exp) even though they are all filled in correctly…

[uneven lantern]

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

[quick cosmos]

Is there any way to create a container on dnd beyond that can actually have items put in it? Same question with ammunition.

[uneven lantern]

No, but you can add an existing one to your sheet and then customize it to change the name, description, etc.

[gaunt merlin]

Did the Fall Sale happen literally for a day? I went on it a couple of days ago, lined up some titles I was interested in, sorted some money out, then went on now to buy, and it has already gone. Is that the norm?

[uneven lantern]

It was five days

[crisp hound]

How do I overwrite the dexterity limit for armors with homebrew items?

Trying to remove it from some custom scale mail so I get just +dexterity

Like essentially it's black dragon scale mail armor but with cold and necrotic resistances instead of acid, no dexterity limit to AC, and no stealth disadvantage is what I'm trying to make and it's just not giving me the AC bonus

This is how I currently have it set up

I got rid of the stealth disadvantage but it's not putting my armor class as high as it should

I should have 15+dex+1 for a total of 21 AC but it's only putting me at 18 (my dexterity is +5)

So it's still limiting me to +2 maximum

[uneven lantern]

Try also adding a Modifier with:

• Type: Set
• Subtype: AC Max Dex Modifier
• Fixed Value: 10

[crisp hound]

So like this?

Oh wait not Armored

But otherwise

[uneven lantern]

Yep

That’s what Serpent Scale Armor does, anyway.

Just note that it can up to 15 minutes for homebrew edits to appear on your sheet.

[crisp hound]

Okay yup that did it, thank you!

[dusky umbra]

DDB is still not backwards comaptible ready? I was trying to rebuild my necro wizard to 2024 rules and I cannot get necromancer subclass with 2024 wizard. WHy is that?

[dire blade]

It appears to work for me. You can use 2014 subclasses on 2024 classes.

Do you own the 2014 PHB or are you in a campaign where it is shared with you?

[dusky umbra]

yes

[dire blade]

You may need to go to your account page and sync entitlements.

[rustic obsidian]

True Strike only appears to be showing up for melee weapons, but the 2024 wording should work for ranged weapons too, right?

but Detect Thoughts and Phantasmal Force do appear in my list of spells

[crisp pine]

How do I make this an option in the homebrew subclass?

I thought it would be this but it doesnt seem to be showing up

[fallow cipher]

[onyx ridge]

it seems like the 2024 GWM feat isn't functioning when you roll damage for weapons with the Heavy property

[dire blade]

It shouldn't behave that way because it only applies to attacks made with the Attack action, so if it updated all Heavy weapon attacks then it wouldn't be usable the other way.

You can create a custom action or have additional weapons on your sheet to add the bonus damage if you want.

[iron thorn]

Alright quick question - When I want to create Homebrew Items based on an item of a sourcebook, do I have to own the book or is it enough to be in a campaign, which shares that book?

[uneven lantern]

You'd need to own the item yourself to use it as a template when creating homebrew.

[iron thorn]

So in other words I need to either buy the item or the book?

Is there a way to only buy the magic items and spells?

[uneven lantern]

I'm afraid not

[iron thorn]

I think it was possible, but it seems, that they removed it. So in other words, I either have to ask someone to create a homebrew item for me (Cuz WotC isn´t able to deliver) or pay the 30$ to get access to the item.

The Item in question is the Dragon´s Wrath Weapons, which they specifically tell you, that you have to use the homebrew tool, when you want to use a weapon other than the longsword

[dire blade]

You could just create the Homebrew item from scratch and copy/paste the text in. The modifiers aren’t complicated, either.

[iron thorn]

I think I also can´t change Homebrew Items right?

[dire blade]

If they’re your homebrew, of course you can.

You can’t modify someone else’s homebrew, though, but that should be obvious because it would negatively affect their use of it.

[iron thorn]

(it's named that way so that people in my other campaigns knew it was homebrew, but now they are actually under homebrew which is nice)

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue.

[uneven lantern]

Strange, those should be there even without a subclass. Can you share a link to your character?

[safe hedge]

I thought so too. Here's a link https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/131767399

[It is completely possible I'm missing it somehow, but I can't figure out where]

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I don’t see it either. Just your subclass version. 🤔

[safe hedge]

yeaaaaaah, so that's not supposed to happen right?

[uneven lantern]

Does the default one reappear if your subclass is removed?

[safe hedge]

let's see!

sure does!

[uneven lantern]

And it disappears again with the subclass re-added?

[safe hedge]

yep

So...does it need to be set up as "additional" perhaps?

[uneven lantern]

I’d set the Feature Type to “Granted”, if that’s what you mean.

[safe hedge]

It is currently. And I thought that was correct. I was wondering if I needed to recreate it and change it

[uneven lantern]

I hate to say it, but I’m not sure, then. 🤔

I haven’t had any time to play with homebrew since the new book came out, so I’m not sure if/how things have changed there…

[safe hedge]

Well, I am capable of keeping track of my channel divinities, it was just something that I wondered if y'all could point me in the right direction

[verbal creek]

I think that applies to official subclasses. Might worth checking out, just in case.

[uneven lantern]

You could try making a homebrew copy of Oath of Devotion if you want to see how an official one was set up and compare notes.

Otherwise I think you’re in uncharted territory here. This is a problem I’ve definitely never seen before.

[rapid carbon]

How do I play a game with people

In dungeons and dragons beyond

Bc I need people to play with

Again, i suggest checking out #dnd-newcomers

[gentle glacier]

Has anyone attempted the homebrew magic item method in this link to allow a weapon to use an alternative stat for attack/damage (such as CHA instead of DEX):

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76031-demystifying-homebrew-updated-with-pact-hex#c8

According to the "Further Customization" section at the bottom, it appears that this should enable a Pact Weapon toggle box for the weapon, even if your character is not a Warlock. However, that's not working for me.

By "not working" I mean that there is no Pact Weapon check box on the weapon, so therefore it is still using the default stat (dex) for attack/damage.

[uneven lantern]

Was it set that way from the start, or did you edit it in later?

Sometimes homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes to appear on your character sheet.

[gentle glacier]

I edited it in later, and I did notice that delay you reference. I used a version number on the item to ensure that my changes were getting applied to the item.

This may just be a collateral damage bug as they are working to adjust several things with the new content. My main reason for posting it here was to see if anyone has tried that approach and it is working for them at the moment. That would help identify that there's a problem with my item.

[uneven lantern]

The post does say it works for any subclass. It doesn't say anything about working for magic items.

If you're just trying to change the ability for a specific item, try this instead:

• Type: Replace Weapon Ability
• Subtype: Charisma Score

[solid peak]

hi guys i have a problem i bought the Xanathar's Guide to Everything i can see ranger subclasses but cant see the gloom stalker class what can i do to fix it

[uneven lantern]

That version of Gloom Stalker works only on the 2014 Rogue.

If you're using the 2024 Rogue, you'd need the Gloom Stalker from the 2024 Player's Handbook.

[gentle glacier]

Yes I did try that Replace Weapon Ability -> Charisma as well, and that did not seem to have any effect on the bonus/damage for the equipped item. I just went through that test again with a new item, and same result, unfortunately.

In their description of the homebrew post, they say:
We also wanted to add the ability to allow you to create your own Pact/Hex Weapons using the Homebrew tools.

So I think their intent was weapons (or in my case, a magical weapon).

[uneven lantern]

I'm not sure, then.

[solid peak]

thankss

can i refund the book xd

is there a way to do it i bought it from play store

[gentle glacier]

Thank you for talking it over with me and taking a look. I'll let you know if I find anything that addresses it.

[uneven lantern]

Artificers can now select spells from the 2024 PHB.
@vital gazelle@thick bay@swift bane@unkempt rover@dry tapir@compact sand@frank atlas@ocean scaffold@harsh swallow@verbal creek@jolly kindle@static wave

[uneven lantern]

That's something you'd have to discuss with customer support.

how can i do that

Woohoo, yep, I can see all the new 2024 spells on my artificer characters now! Thank you so much!

[unkempt rover]

THANK YOUUUUU

[solid peak]

i try to find my order number but cant find it

[lime void]

I need some help, I've been having a bit of trouble with getting my D&D Beyond homebrew spells to work. This one, as an example, doesn't seem to be learnable.

Melf's Elemental Binding

In the spell editor:

My class is selected as a Warlock currently.

[uneven lantern]

Have you checked in your order history?
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/account/orders

[uneven lantern]

There are two versions of Warlock. Is the one selected in the spell the same one you've selected for your character?

[solid peak]

it doesnt appear

[lime void]

I wish you guys would label the two versions so it doesn't show just:

That is really confusing.

[uneven lantern]

How long ago did you order it?

[solid peak]

like an hour

[uneven lantern]

Was it ordered directly on D&D Beyond, or on dndstore.wizards.com?

[solid peak]

from play store

[uneven lantern]

But through the D&D Beyond app?

[solid peak]

yep

[uneven lantern]

Play Store orders should send you a confirmation email with the order number as well.

[solid peak]

it didnt

[lime void]

@uneven lantern yeah I can't get the spell to work :/

It now shows up twice.

I chose the Ranger - Beast Master subclass to test this

The spell is still unlearnable tho

Perhaps a tooltip when hovering over the "Learn" button if it's greyed out to tell why it's unlearnable?

[solid peak]

@uneven lantern what should i do?

[lime void]

Can I keep my d&d beyond character sheet as 2014?

I've only had problems thus far with the 2024 changes.

[uneven lantern]

It’s showing up once for “Ranger” and once for “Ranger - Beast Master”.

I’d generally advise against listing subclasses in that field.

That could be why the Learn is disabled.

[uneven lantern]

The only other place it might be is here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/order-history

If not, you could wait and see maybe tomorrow if the order syncs over from the Play Store and gets displayed directly in D&D Beyond.

Or you can contact customer support to see if they can help you find it.

[vital gazelle]

While its awesome that Artificers have access to 2024 spells now - depending on the subclass though, the always prepared spells that come from the subclass are labeled as legacy spells. Though, gonna assume it's because Artificers are technically not part of the 2024 PHB and that's why it's displaying as such

[solid peak]

nope it doesnt show 😦

[verbal creek]

Easy to homebrew a version with 2024 spells.

[verbal creek]

Fair warning, homebrew spells has the artificer tag removed. It's an easy fix to reapply the tag.

[sand iris]

how long does it usually take to get a support ticket responded to?

[karmic night]

mine is over 3 weeks now

[sand iris]

damn im never getting my phb then lmaooo

bought the physical + digital bundle in August and has been complete radio silence on my physical copy

[dense viper]

Ive seen that wait times are longer than usually but I dont remember the reason

[karmic night]

my exact problem

[sand iris]

are you also in Canada?

I've heard some non americans have the same issue

but it seems america got them I think

[karmic night]

US...Tennessee

[sand iris]

uh oh

maybe this was their plan to get us to go to local game stores all along

cause i am never buying a physical product onlien again lol

[karmic night]

I'll never preorder from them again for sure

[violet pilot]

Anyone know what the updates to the books were today? Like 5+ books including the new phb got updates

Any change log anywhere?

[uneven lantern]

Nope

[slate kelp]

Wrong channel sorry

[solid peak]

hi i completed my character just the pearsonal characteristics are left but when i click personality traits, ideals, bonds or flaws nothing shows up is it a bug?

[lapis geyser]

depnding on the subclass, it may not have any premade ones.

[solid peak]

i use gloomstalker

oh ok i see thanks

[lapis geyser]

sorry i meant background

only the older ones will usually have those traits

[solid peak]

oh okay thanks

[undone lake]

if i put a character into a dndbeyond campaign can everyone else see it?

[uneven lantern]

They’d see that it exists.

Whether they can view the sheet itself is controlled by the “Character Privacy” option in your character settings.

[fading bramble]

its also not possible on the app

[gilded rose]

so on my warlock under my pac magic ith shows my save save dc and hit dc but under my spell it does not show the same how do i fix this

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[light widget]

If I am the DM in DnD Beyond do the players need a subscription to play?

How do they access as a PC?

Do you have any reviews of DnD Beyond?

[edgy oriole]

They create a character, you send them an invite to your DnDBeyond campaign, they can then add their character into your DnDBeyond campaign

[light widget]

Thank-you

[edgy oriole]

Or you can send them the DnDBeyond campaign invite link and they can create a character inside the campaign (and thus use any materials being shared there for their character)

[light widget]

Which channel would be good to ask for reviews of DnD beyond.

I may want to hear some reviews before getting a subscription.

[edgy oriole]

Probably a general internet search would be the best way to see others opinions of DnDBeyond.
Also you could see on app stores reviews for the DnDBeyond mobile app.

[light widget]

Thank-you

[zinc rivet]

Hey, i should have 20 charisma, but its only displaying me having 18, I get +2 from my background, +1 from the Inspiring leader feat, and +2 from ability score improvement

fixed it

[uneven lantern]

The ones that don't match are coming from your homebrew species, not your class. Since those aren't warlock spells, they don't use your warlock spell attack modifier or spell save DC.

If the value there isn't what you were expecting, you'll need to edit the homebrew accordingly.

[mint basalt]

So awhile ago I had asked if anyone had info on having my shipping address changed for the DMG and MM since I’m moving. I reached out to the email provided and they are telling me they are fully unable to change the billing address for placed orders and can refund to the original card. I told them the original card isn’t valid anymore and to refund to the new card on my account. They apparently can’t do that either and told me to reach out to my bank for refunds to the original card. I did and as I assumed, they said it can’t take refunds as it’s not a valid card anymore and that the only recourse they can see if DNDBeyond can’t change the billing or shipping is to dispute the charge.

So just a heads up for everyone, it seems like the system is setup entirely to not assist you. Be aware that you aren’t allowed to move or have a card stolen. I’m waiting to see what support says before moving forward with the dispute.

[zenith trail]

It has been two weeks since I submitted a support request for an order I made and has never been responded too how do I get ahold of dnd beyond support

[mint basalt]

I did the email through the support site

[zenith trail]

I have done that- and have two open support tickets

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, don't open multiple tickets.

That will bump you back down the line.

[zenith trail]

I did the second one on day 12 this is unacceptable

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered during regular business hours and in the order received (based now on the time of your second ticket). That means the expected wait time can vary based on how many tickets are ahead of yours. I don't know the current expected wait time, but I believe they're a bit backed up at the moment.

[mint basalt]

I sent mine on Monday and the first reply was on Wednesday.

[zenith trail]

I believe my was submitted the 19th of September

[zenith trail]

I’ve been a master tier member for over 5 years

[mint basalt]

I’m in the same boat. I’ve spent probably over $1K with DNDBeyond. If this issue isn’t resolved and I have to go the dispute route, I’m sure they’ll end up banning my account. Not that if that’s the resolution id want to stay with DNDBeyond or DND at all anyway

[karmic night]

My ticket has been unanswered since September 16

[dire blade]

No one here can help you with support tickets, unfortunately.

[mint basalt]

The issue is that people have no where to turn. They can’t open new tickets cause that will push them down the list. Can’t call because there’s no number.

[karmic night]

Exactly. At this point we are stuck and at this rate it could be another month or more. It is sad.

[mint basalt]

Ever since WOTC took over DDB, it’s gone way downhill. I never had any of these issues or lack of customer support. They took $180 happily from me. And because I’m moving and had my card stolen, their only response has been

“oh we can’t do anything 👉🏻👈🏻🥺”

But if I go through with the only course of action I have, I lose out on all the products I’ve purchased because I’ll get my account banned.

You’re telling me a company that does $5-$6 billion in revenue a year can’t change a shipping address? That’s insane.

[dire blade]

I pretty strongly disagree with your conclusion, but this is not a discussion channel so I'm not going to engage with it. What I will offer, however, is that if you have feedback about DND Beyond, it belongs in #ddb-feedback and not here.

[mint basalt]

👌

[dense sentinel]

How can I add a legacy weapon that does not have the 2024 mastery features?

[lapis geyser]

All of the base weapons now have the mastery features. They decided to add it that way since you need a class feature to use them, so it has no mechanical effect on a legacy character.

[stoic osprey]

Hello! My new 2024 Players Handbook seems to have a binding issue. I submitted a case with D&D Beyond Support 14 days ago, but haven’t received a response. Case #4099339. Any help would be appreciated.

[lapis geyser]

Unfortunately no one here could help with that. Support generally answers tickets in the order they are received, on work days, and they apparently have an overwhelming amount right now. Don't open a new ticket, as that will move you further down the queue.

[stoic osprey]

OK, thanks for the tip Nofton.

[hexed basin]

I'm trying to update a species from MofM on DND Beyond by simply changing the 2014 spell the species gets to the 2024 version. What would the code change be. The base version has the spell fog cloud as "<em>fog cloud</em> " for it's trait and the description says [spell]fog cloud[/spell] . Is there a simple way to change these so they reflect the 2024 version?

[uneven lantern]

Unless you plan on referring to the subclass page outside of the character sheet, I wouldn't even bother updating those descriptions.

I'd just change which spell gets assigned to the sheet.

[mint basalt]

I was able to figure out how to solve this myself. I did some digging and found that the Physical DMG and Physical MM were not charged to my card yet (Should have been explained when emailing with the CS rep). I was able to cancel out the physicals while keeping the digitals still in my account since those are marked as delivered already. I reordered the physicals with my updated payment info and delivery info so we should be all clear.

[delicate gate]

Are agonizing blast and repelling blast by chance fixed yet?

[kindred merlin]

just saw artificer spell list no longer showing only the legacy spells except for the subclass-given ones. is that going to be fixed as well?
also are armor modifications for armorer and homonculus scaling block ever going to be implemented?

[floral fog]

Is anyone else having an issue where tokens from modules you've paid for (e.g. Phandelver -- Goblin Boss (Variant)) are still greyed out and unselectable in Maps?

[open aspen]

Did anyone else have an issue where you bought the Digital+Physical Bundle for the new rulebooks but the physical Players Handbook got cancelled?

[edgy oriole]

Yeah some folks had issues. The process D&D followed was they charged you for the digital that was delivered on the release date, then charged for the physical when the physical copies were ready to be sent out. However some folks didn't have the funds at that point, in which case the physical order was cancelled. There were also some other rare issues that popped up as well. If you were impacted by this, reach out to customer service to get support.

?tag ddb support

[open aspen]

Ahhh I thought it charged me for all of it initially, but it did not. And I had to get that card replaced between then and now

[edgy oriole]

That would likely be why the physical book order part was cancelled - the billing method used in the initial order couldn't work when the physical books were ready to send out.

[solemn grotto]

I could use some help if anyone is available to answer.
I’m trying to make a character using the -mark of sentinel human- race/species from the book “eberron: rising from the last war”.
I’ve used the race in the past to make a character on dnd beyond but when doing so now on dnd beyond I see the race isn’t adding the racial/species bonuses like its supposed to now (constitution increase by 2 and wisdom increase by 1) and appears to have been completely removed

From checking the other human races from the book, mark of finding human is the only one appropriately adding its racial bonuses

[queen sentinel]

Has anyone had issues making a purchase on dndbeyond

[solemn grotto]

Ok I have figured out what my issue was but idk if this was an intentional change or not, the ability scores for the races where completely removed, I noticed this by comparing the race as it now with an older character using the same race

[lilac trout]

I now can't access my 2024 content.

[lilac trout]

Okay so the 2024 edition is updating, that might have been the problem...

Also where can I see the changes in this update?

[lilac trout]

I can't even google it as it just brings up people discussing changes from 2014 to 2024, not these patch changes.

[timid vale]

Hi, I am trying to create a lvl 4 ranger with the Blind Fighting fighting style, but I can't find it listed in the style options. Am I missing something?

Edit: Silly me. I had the Blind Fighting feat added, which removed it from the style options. Derp!!

[dusky umbra]

is there a way to just allow absorb elements to roll once? i really find them very confusing rolling a lot of times

and by extension, sorcerous burst as well

[uneven lantern]

If you chose one of the new backgrounds, you should be getting that increase from your background instead, according to the rules.

[uneven lantern]

What kind of issues?

[uneven lantern]

There aren’t published lists for those changes. It’s usually just fixing typos and such.

[uneven lantern]

Why would you need to roll Absorb Elements more than once? If you cast it at a higher level, just roll the one for that level.

[dusky umbra]

it rolls differently for each damage type

i just want a 1 universal roll

since they all have the same dice anyway

[uneven lantern]

I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. There’s only one roll, ranging from 1d6 to 9d6.

Are you using some extension that’s changing the normal behavior of the site?

[dusky umbra]

no

it rolls 1d6 every damae type : cold, fire, thunder, etc.

[uneven lantern]

When I click the 1d6, it rolls exactly 1d6, as stated in the rules.

Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends.

When I click it at a higher level, like level 2’s 2d6, it rolls exactly 2d6 — again, in accordance with the rules.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

[dusky umbra]

oki will try to show

[solemn grotto]

What part of the rules says they removed ability scores from old content when I thought the old content was remaining untouched, not to mention the info on the race still says they are supposed to receive those bonuses as apart of its race, all the races from Eberron do

[slim anchor]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/creating-a-character#BackgroundsandSpeciesfromOlderBooks

[uneven lantern]

Similarly, species in older books include ability score increases. If you’re using a species from an older book, ignore those increases and use only the ones given by your background.

[solemn grotto]

Ok, I’m going to withhold my opinion as this isn’t a place for ranting. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll just point out that I for one and I’m sure others don’t like this change and want to continue using thier content the way it was.

[uneven lantern]

If you pair it with an older background, the older rules apply. If you pair it with a new background, the new rules apply.

[chrome cargo]

Hey hey, is DNDBeyond having a problem or is it just me? I went over the usual steps;

• Avrae says I don't have TCoE (or any book for that matter)
• In a campaign, character is setup, content sharing is enabled, TCoE is part of that list (this worked fine last night)
• Disconnected Discord, reconnected
• Checked the content manager tab, it's completely blank (this repeats for all other campaigns I'm in)

I know for a fact I'm still part of the campaign and other players have access to the content, grabbed another friend and they could see it just fine

[clever dagger]

How do I put the Celestial language on my character's sheet using DD Beyond? I don't see the option.

[uneven lantern]

Does it work if you disable Beyond 20?

[obsidian oxide]

lmt this

[obsidian oxide]

It returns to normal when I disable dnd beyond

[uneven lantern]

You mean when you disable Beyond 20?

[obsidian oxide]

yes

Do you know a fix to this?

[uneven lantern]

If Beyond 20 is causing issues, that’s not really something we can help with, I’m afraid.

[obsidian oxide]

^If anyone else has the same issue just uninstall Beyond 20 and reinstall this fixes it

[ruby spruce]

I have a level 5 spore Druid that I’ve converted to the 2024 Druid base class, and Aid is showing up as an “Always Prepared” spell—for the life of me I can’t understand why. Is that an error?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s a known issue.

[glacial lark]

Am I doing something wrong? Can you not write notes in the Map tool?

[keen notch]

i have a campaign im trying to start but cant see most of the subclasses for the sourcebooks i have

[woeful coyote]

I just made a character based on a sheet I used in a previous D&D campaign, and it says my Initiative is +2 when my sheet says 9, but I'm having trouble finding a page that edits Initiative and I want my character to be true to my sheet as possible.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think you can, but you can use the feedback link inside Maps if you want to make any feature requests.

[uneven lantern]

Did you purchase those books yourself? Do you have the appropriate content toggles enabled in your character settings?

[uneven lantern]

How did you get to nine before? If your character was using some homebrew feature to do it, you likely need to use the homebrew tools to add it for the new one as well.

[woeful coyote]

It was like that when I attended a D&D group at a library.

[uneven lantern]

The point remains that if you’re not using the normal rules (in which your Initiative equals your Dexterity modifier), then you’ll need to use the homebrew system.

[teal oracle]

Where do I have to go to/ what do I have to do when I can't see an order in my order history, either being the old or new one, but I wanna check the status of my bundle?

[uneven lantern]

Did you order on D&D Beyond, or dndstore.wizards.com?

[teal oracle]

Uhm... urgh why are there 3 ways to find an order history... curses
It was the dndstore one. assuming I get both phb and dmg once dmg is out as I paid both together?

[woeful coyote]

But I don't know how to use the Homebrew system.

[uneven lantern]

Then you can add it to your character sheet by going to Features & Traits > Manage Feats.

[woeful coyote]

Wait, I have to type in all of those details from scratch?
Dude, I spent what felt like forever typing it in on the regular page.

[uneven lantern]

All what details?
