Whats the difference between twice proficiency and expertise?

[quick pagoda]

Where do you see 'twice proficiency'?

[strange sedge]

specifically for me I saw it when I was adding a character trait to a homebrew speicies'

[uneven lantern]

Expertise requires them to already have proficiency.

Twice proficiency just gives it to them.

[quick pagoda]

For homebrewing, I'd strongly suggest not combining those then.

[strange sedge]

I wasnt aiming for both. That would be insane. I was just scrolling down the list to get to the option I wanted and saw it.

[strange sedge]

So how would I go about doing this?

[spice spade]

Hello! Good evening to everyone

I'm here just to ask for help

I have a ticket for 4 days ago trying to change a shipping address for my 2024 monster manual pre-order

The thing is nobody answers

And I have another ticket 2 months old that's still open and I still haven't got responded there

Does someone knows if there is another way to get support? Or what's the wait time

[solid kestrel]

Is there anywhere in the marketplace to add
"Add all adventures and sourcebooks I don't own"
into cart? Like the Legendary bundle did back in the day the legendary bundle was everything on DDB.

[leaden socket]

I'm in the process of making an Illrigger character right now, and looking at the equipment section the first option says "two martial weapons" but there is only one dropdown to put my selection, not two. Additionally, selecting the Priest's or Dungeoneer's packs don't actually add any items to the equipment

Also, there are no weapon mastery options, I thought this was supposed to be a class for the new 2024/5.5e rules but I guess not

[verbal creek]

It was designed and revised before the 2024 rules came out.

As for weapon masteries, that's easy to fix. Make a homebrew feat that gives the class, say, two masteries and manually add it to the sheet.

[leaden socket]

Oh yeah, clever

[frosty elm]

okay so i made a homebrew paladin oath that im planning to use for a campaign how do i get it to show up during character creation

i am confused on why its not there

[exotic rose]

Hello, I've made a ticket a few days ago regarding the Paladin's old subclasses on the 2024 edition of it. The spells below are never prepared for the 2024 edition even though they should be. When are they going to fix this? It's been 2 months already. And clearly these subclasses are separate from the ones that the 2014 classes get why is it taking them this long? Not like it's going to ruin the 2014 classes.

[uneven lantern]

TBH, I’d set it up as a separate action to make it easier to roll. Then after you save the action, there’s an option at the bottom for Level Overrides.

[strange sedge]

I’ll look into that. Thank you

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are ultimately answered in the order they’re received, so the exact wait time can vary depending on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

I believe they’re pretty backed up at the moment, but I don’t know the current expected wait time.

I wouldn’t expect anyone to be waiting two months, though. 🤔

[uneven lantern]

Not currently, no.

[uneven lantern]

I’ve let the devs know about the weapon choice. The packs should be added as individual items to your sheet, in a separate backpack.

[uneven lantern]

Did you enable Homebrew Content for that character?

Did you select the same Paladin class in both places? They should both have either or .

I.E. if you create the subclass for , it won’t appear on , and vice versa.

[cinder axle]

If i buy dnd beyond books and the subscription that allows sharing. if i join a campaign as a player can my books be shared with my fellow campaign members and the dm?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

Anyone in the campaign can activate Content Sharing.

[cinder axle]

awesome thanks

[uneven lantern]

And once it’s activated, everyone’s books get shared with everyone else.

[cinder axle]

oh so everyone in the campaign gets their books shared?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[cinder axle]

just one person needs the subscription

awesome

[uneven lantern]

I’ve passed that one on to the devs before, but I’ll follow up.

[uneven lantern]

That weapon choice should now be fixed!

[little plume]

I turned on legacy options in beyond but still only see new spells

is there anything i can do to fix this?

[uneven lantern]

Can you give an example of a spell you were expecting to see?

[little plume]

the old sleep

[uneven lantern]

Sleep would be under “2014 Core Rules”, not “Legacy”.

But you also won’t see those spells for the 2024 classes regardless.

(If you did want to use it for a 2024 class, you can pretty easily make a homebrew copy and adjust the available classes.)

[leaden socket]

Oh cool, thanks

[leaden socket]

When I said the Priest's and Dungeoneer pack don't get added to the equipment, I meant to say they don't get added to the inventory at all

[uneven lantern]

They did for my character... 🤔

Can you share a link to yours?

[leaden socket]

Maybe they fixed the issue when the fixed the weapons thing
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/118293874

Wait

You know what, I had that setting where I unchecked the legacy box

That was it, wasn't it

Don't know why I didn't think about that

[indigo wagon]

is the new Illrigger for 2024, 14 or both rulesets?

[uneven lantern]

It works in either, but all third-party content is currently built using the SRD for the 2014 rules.

The new SRD won't be made available until sometime after the Monster Manual is released.

(Since it will need content from all three books to be effective.)

[indigo wagon]

Ok thank you very much, just needed to know as one of my players wanted to play one but we'll keep using the 2014 ruleset

[hidden wolf]

I'm trying to select a Divine Domain subclass I created as a homebrew subclass for D&D beyond for a Cleric. The Divine Domain is not showing up as selectable. I've verified I have homebrew turned on.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I created the subclass two different times.

[uneven lantern]

Did you create it for the 2014 cleric class () or the 2024 one ()? Did you choose the same class for your character?

[hidden wolf]

Yes

Tried both cleric classes available to me. Created from both expanded rules and legacy.

[uneven lantern]

And the subclass is in your My Homebrew Collection?

(Not just in My Homebrew Creations?)

[hidden wolf]

Yes it shows up in the My Homebrew Collection.

[uneven lantern]

I genuinely don’t know then.

If it’s in your collection, you’ve got Homebrew on, and you’re using the same class for both, then I’d expect it to be there.

[hidden wolf]

Hence my confusion.

[stuck cosmos]

I'm trying to create a deflect thing like the monk has for a monk subclass, how do I make it add your monk level to the damage (reduction)

the only alternative to not adding monk level other than not having the roll include it (which the regular deflect attack does do) is to simply decide the fixed value to be my character's current monk level, but I obviously can't create a new subclass for one different value every time I level up

[uneven lantern]

Fixed Value has to be an actual number.

So the only real solution there would be to set it at 1, and then provide a Level Override for every level.

[solid kestrel]

well, starting at 3 for the subclass at level 3...
But yeah.

Another issue I've found

I can add two limited-use-data entries to a single action, but it doesn't do anything?

[uneven lantern]

You can add multiple in case the formula changes based on the level.

If you set those both to the same level, then yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them gets ignored.

[solid kestrel]

No, I mean... I can add one that's, say, 2xProf, and one that's an ability modifier
but it just... doesn't use both?

I can't get limited use to actually function on
(2 x PB) + a Modifier

[hidden wolf]

I think I figured it out. There are a bunch of subclasses that are alienated out of homebrew content available to available classes if you use as a template. I did the class directly with a subclass from scratch and it worked.

[barren knot]

How is sharing content actually working between two DM’s?

I have most of the books, and I am a player in my friends campaign. However, it seems like he is controlling the options of which book he wants to borrow from me, and I am not able at all to control that. Is that how it supposed to to be?

[uneven lantern]

Anyone in a campaign can activate Content Sharing.

Once it’s activated, everyone’s books are shared with everyone else.

The DM can allow or prevent any shared book from being read. (Any character options from that book will remain available either way.)

[stuck cosmos]

I didn't think of that
kinda sucks but I guess it's good enough

[uncut forum]

Is there a way/channel to post d&d community on here? We got a fast growing comunity of players and dm’s that we like to grow

[cunning prairie]

Question! I noticed in the D&D Beyond Terms and Conditions that there's a clause about not using the platform for monetary gain.

5.2 Rules of Use: In addition to the Wizards Fan Content Policy and Code of Conduct, here are comprehensive rules for using D&D Beyond, Services, Marketplace and Digital Content:

I. Personal Use Only: You may use D&D Beyond, the Services, and the content solely for your personal enjoyment. This means they should not be used for any form of monetary gain, for piracy, or for political activities. The intention is to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all users.

Would using D&D Beyond as part of a paid session on websites like StartPlaying constitute a violation of this? Sorry if this is the wrong channel for this.

[edgy oriole]

Read #find-a-game and specifically learn about the #looking-for-community channel.

[soft pecan]

Can you rearrange these maps in DnD Beyond??

[dark heron]

Is it possible to make a homebrew magic item that doubles carrying capacity, which will take into account a PC's species like Firbolg with Powerful Build?

If I set the Carrying Capacity modifier on the magic item to Large, it will work for a species without Powerful Build, but not for the Firbolg

[tired creek]

Silly q, we are sharing the 2024 PHB but our character won't allow us to have circle of the moon

[uneven lantern]

I don’t believe so, but you can use the feedback option there inside Maps for any feature requests.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think so.

[uneven lantern]

Is the character assigned to that campaign? Are they using the 2024 Druid class (, not )?

[buoyant lichen]

I can't seem to publish this class. ANy idea why? It keeps saying "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels."

[uneven lantern]

What class is this for?

You could try hitting the main save button to rerun the validation process.

If you actually do have the right levels, that error should go away.

If not, then you’ll need to make sure you’ve got subclass features at every level that class normally provides one.

[buoyant lichen]

Yeah, 3,3,3,5,9,15

Artillerist seems to do the same

Artificer

[uneven lantern]

Did hitting that main save button clear the error, then?

[buoyant lichen]

It's working!

It reran it and it's working

THanks

[waxen flare]

Has anyone been able to fix the Can't Update Payment error for their subscription? My wife's account couldn't take the subscription payment, so it needed an update, but she couldn't. She tried cancelling, then subscribing again, but just keeps getting can't update subscription or can't change a cancelled subscription. She opened a help request over two weeks ago, then got a response a few days later, and nothing since. The response didn't fix the problem, and seems like a form message that didn't address the issue.

[fading bramble]

So im looking at my hawk familiar, and im noticing that its passive Perception is 16 while having a +4 to the skill

[scenic thicket]

The Elven Accuracy feat ... it isn't offered in D&D Beyond when we use the new Elf races listed in 2024 PHB. This is a bug in the tool or is there a specific reason that feat isn't available for the new 2024 Elf races. Why hasn't this bug been fixed by now? I assume if this is a bug that one must use Homebrew to create the feat to add to a character.

[strange sedge]

You can just disable feat prerequisites and then add it

[strange sedge]

It’s possibly proficient

[fading bramble]

Well, im assuming Expertise if youre going off the Passive

[scenic thicket]

Guidance on how to remove the prerequites for the feat would be appreciated.

[strange sedge]

Are you using the app or website?

[strange sedge]

Character sheet > Features and Traits > Manage Feats > Settings then you’ll see where to toggle it off

[leaden socket]

I'm looking at my Level 14 Warrior of Mercy Monk and on the sheet and under Actions it lists Hand of Harm and Hand of Healing as a D10, not as a D10 plus Wis mod. I just checked in Avrae, and Avrae adds the bonus where rolling on DnDBeyond does not

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think they currently can add that without also displaying it with an attack roll…

But I don’t see it listed as a known issue, so I’ve passed it along to the devs anyway.

[buoyant lichen]

Are any of these spells liscened? Keeps giving me you have liscensed or homebrew spells.

[fading bramble]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/135929713
Here she is (sory for late reply)

Im also seeing Sorcery Incarnate at my current level for some reason, despite not being level 7

[uneven lantern]

You can check here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells?filter-source=1&filter-source=148

[scenic thicket]

Got it! Think I saw that once before ... wonder why one would use it ... now I understand. LOL
Appreciate the guidance.

[fading bramble]

And one final thing, my Tentacles of the deep seem to be adding my CHA mod to damage

[uneven lantern]

Seems like you’re using the Free Rules version, which does indeed have a 16.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/4775824-hawk

(Even in the physical book)

[uneven lantern]

Where are you seeing this?

[uneven lantern]

This one’s a known issue, even with the previous class.

FATHOMLESS - Tentacle of the Deeps. If the attack is set to display for this feature it incorrectly adds your characters CHA bonus to the damage roll.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/87774-tashas-cauldron-of-everything-issues-and-support

But you can customize the attack to add a bonus of -3 and cancel it out.

[delicate gate]

Hey so the elven accuracy feat isn't showing up for me and I am a drow

2024 rules and drow via the elf thing

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s a known issue for the 2024 species.

But you can disable Feat Prerequisites for that character to add it anyway.

[delicate gate]

aight

elven accuracy still makes it so you have double advantage right?

wait why is fireball on my spell list? I am a dao genie

[uneven lantern]

It lets you reroll one of the two dice for advantage.

[delicate gate]

so double advantage

[uneven lantern]

You’re rolling three times instead of two, so in that sense, I wouldn’t call it double.

[uneven lantern]

This one’s a current system limitation. There isn’t yet a way to conditionally add spells based on your choice.

[fading bramble]

In the feature section

And yeah, using the minus works, it just wasnt working on mobile for some reason

Oh nvm, looks like innate sorcery fixed itself

Thanks spam

[little ivy]

how come im unable to see half of 2014 content i own like feats, spells, magic items etc
it just says locked behind phb2024
(example crossbow exxpert feat)

[scenic thicket]

Just checking - is development aware that the Heightened Patient Defense listed under Bonus Action is only offering a single roll of the monk's martial die, not 2 as it should, towards gaining temporary HP?

Update - This is on the Actions tab, Bonus Action sub-tab, not Features & Traits

[fading bramble]

youre probably looking at the 2024 versions. 2014 will be marked as legacy

[little ivy]

the legacy versions arent listed

idk where im supposed to look if not here

[fading bramble]

Scroll down usually on the character sheet

[little ivy]

for example
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items
the 4th item is adamantine weapon
its not viewable for me rn

this is the link i have always used before 2024 was a thing

if there is a seperate link for 2014 content i cant find it

and adamantine weapon only shows once on this list

[fading bramble]

Do you have legacy turned off?

[little ivy]

if thats the default then yes cos idk where that would be

[fading bramble]

legacy isnt turned off by default

[little ivy]

then no

when i search feats in 2014 phb only 2 show up

if i go into the book itself then it all shows up obviously

so basicly all these feats arent showing up in the feats list

[uneven lantern]

Adamantine weapons are originally from XGTE, and weren’t a magic item.

So that specific option exists exclusively in the 2024 DMG.

[little ivy]

alright well that was an example so i was wrong on that 1 but i been having this problem all day with things i know was a magic item or other stuff before

[uneven lantern]

And you’ve got this also filtered by feats with a Dexterity prerequisite.

[little ivy]

true let me fix that

alright that fixed the feats so thats my bad

now let me see if i can find the magic item list i had problems with

okay idk what happened before i guess, now things are properly showing up seperately as legacy and new but earlier today it wasnt

aaaaalright i suppose we good

first time using dndbeyond in a year+ so stuffs changed a lot

[little ivy]

is there a way to easily see the sources of the calculations of my hit bonus without digging throught my char lvls and stuff

[little plume]

[merry fossil]

Can someone help me understand why wraithful smite doesnt appear under 2014 ruleset for hexblade warlock? I own both Xanathar's and both versions of the PHB

I even tried leveling up my character sheet but it still doesnt appear under choosable spells

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not

[uneven lantern]

There’s no “i” in “wrathful”

[merry fossil]

I mispelled it here, but originally i was just typing smite and it still wasnt showing

But i came back too it an hour after buying the 2014 phb and its showing now

was just taking its sweet time i suppose

Thank you though lol

[outer merlin]

i need help, my character leveling is stuck on milestone, and when i try to change it the accept button to switch to xp does not work.

[uneven lantern]

Does it work if you change it in the character editor instead of directly on the sheet?

[grand sky]

hi, im making a monk with 2024 rules and two weapon fighting feat is not showing on character creation and not even on my characetr sheet ( manage feat and try to add it there ). im very confused

[earnest hill]

D&D Beyond still has my wrong email address ... not able to access email sent to wrong email address.

[uneven lantern]

That’s a Fighting Style feat. You can only choose it if you have a Fighting Style class feature, which monks do not.

(Though you could disable feat prerequisites and add it anyway.)

[grand sky]

so level 1 fighter would be my problem solver

thanks for cl;arification

[grand sky]

just to make sure, thats the feat that allow us to add modifierto damageon extra attack right ?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

[grand sky]

ok

wanna do a monk of shadow dual wielding daggers

i wish fighting style was a feat we could take and pick one from the list

[grand sky]

if i take dueling too, and do extra attack with bonus action can i also add mod to damage on that bonus attack ?

ill probly do flurry of blows anyways but im curious if the TWF also work on the dueling extra attack

[uneven lantern]

#dnd-rules can help with game questions.

[outer merlin]

i tried that too and it didnt work either

[uneven lantern]

[rain schooner]

Quick question. Does the web site show book marks? Or is it just the app. Many thanks.

[delicate gate]

So does the genie subclass give you wish as apart of 9th level mystic arcanum cus I don't see it

[uneven lantern]

Looks like that was indeed reported previously, but I’ve given it a nudge.

[uneven lantern]

Just the app, presumably since browsers already natively let you save bookmarks.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t believe it does.

[rain schooner]

Makes sense. Thanks

[delicate gate]

is that a bug?

[uneven lantern]

A system limitation, I believe.

[blazing yew]

Hello, i am struggeling to understand why ASI (the +1 and +1] is not showing when i chose variant human. Am i being stupid and missing somthing?

[fading bramble]

Are you using 2024 rules perchance alongside the vhuman

[blazing yew]

I dont own the 2024 rules. I am a mere noob when it comes to Dnd and beyond.

[fading bramble]

You might be accidentally using the 2024 rules then

[fading bramble]

Yeah, but again, the class/background you chose might be the newer ver

[blazing yew]

You mean this?

[fading bramble]

Thats the races/lineage

in 2024, races no longer give you the ASI, backgrounds do

[blazing yew]

Oh you helped me find it thanks! It was the background that wast the problem. Thanks 🙂

[toxic scaffold]

For some reason the "add item list" doesn't want to work on the character sheet inventory screen. Is this a common issue?

[delicate gate]

There are a lot of those with warlock seemingly, may be a good idea to just make a system for altering class features

[lean flame]

I'm quite late to the party, but I've had the same issue and I just solved it!

The problem lies in the fact that both the class feature and the subclass feature is called Channel Divinity (at least that's what it was on my end)

Renaming the subclass feature to Channel Divinity Options brought back the checkboxes

[safe hedge]

Thank you for this!

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[scenic thicket]

Wow. Thanks. Nice power in that nudge. 😉

[viscid prairie]

trying to homebrew a creature, but why doesnt an attack option show up for Acidic Bolt and Illusory barrage?

and when i click the bite attack, it does the affect of Illusory Barrage as well?

[uneven lantern]

If you’re asking about those buttons from Beyond 20, you’d have to ask whoever made that extension.

[oblique ravine]

I'm sure the answer is still no, but are we yet able to add spell slots to characters?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t believe so.

[tawdry sparrow]

Hey, I cannot add my homebrew magic items to players in my campaign any longer - I have been able to do so earlier. Have something changed in the past week or two?

ah! the characters did not have homebrew enabled, nevermind

[dire blade]

Make sure that your characters haven't disabled--Yeah, exactly.

[jade turtle]

how do I get my map to look like this?

I was watching a streamer and he has his map like this

[solid kestrel]

Looks like an extension

[jade turtle]

that's what I was kind of thinking but I was just asking here

let's go I found the extension

[glad tree]

I have players with characters in campaign A that we completed. How do they move to campaign B without losing anything from the content I shared with them?

[fading bramble]

Use the same campaign, rename it

[glad tree]

I thought about that. But I want to run campaign A with my kids and their friends while the other players move on.

[fading bramble]

you can always deactivate or remove characters

[uneven lantern]

You can enable Content Sharing in up to five campaigns.

So you could just share it in the new one, too.

[glad tree]

They won’t lose anything in the meantime? I ask bc they’re getting a popup warning that they might lose stuff.

[uneven lantern]

If they leave the first campaign before joining the second, they wouldn’t have access during that time.

But if they join the second and then leave the first…

[prime quiver]

Is there any word yet about Black Friday beyond sales? Or even “hey here’s what will be on sale at Y time”?

[ivory nova]

Phantasmal Force and Silvery Barbs are missing from the 2024 Sorcerer spell list, not even appearing there as a legacy option.

[uneven lantern]

They both show up for me.

You need “Expanded Rules” on for Silvery Barbs.

[swift bane]

The Lord of the Rings book releases today doesn't it?

[uneven lantern]

I haven’t seen a specific date announced. Where did you hear that?

[ivory nova]

For me Phantasmal Force only shows in 2014 sorc spell list as a legacy spell regardless of filters.

[swift bane]

could have sworn it was listed on the store page, but I don't see it anymore

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased the 2024 Player’s Handbook?

[ivory nova]

No, but the legacy 2014 spells aren't a part of it, so why would they be missing?

[uneven lantern]

The new classes aren’t meant to be used with spells from the 2014 PHB.

But you can make a homebrew copy of the spell and change its available classes if you really want to use the older one.

[glad tree]

I have players with characters in campaign A that we completed. How do they move to campaign B without losing anything from the content I shared with them?

Reposting this. Can they just leave and join a different campaign without loss? I don’t think I got the best advice last night. It won’t let them join two at the same time.

[fading bramble]

did you send them the link?

like, there isnt a limit on how many campaigns you can join

[glad tree]

I did send the link. Hmm. Let me see if something is showing active in Campaign A. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[uneven lantern]

A character can't belong to more than one campaign, but there's no limit to how many campaigns a player can join with different characters.

[wary quail]

Why does the website log me out every time I try to buy something or even just look at the marketplace

[swift bane]

I see the book is starting to come out. I can't access it yet so I guess it's still rolling out?

[main vortex]

i just purchased the lord of the rings source material on DDB but every time i go to access the material, it sends me to the marketplace to purchase it again. any tips?

[wary quail]

the marketplace has been extra buggy recently, cant even buy the 2024 dmg cuz of the glitch

[main vortex]

well this is unfortunate

[wary quail]

im cancelling my subscription till they fix this

[uneven lantern]

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

[wary quail]

havent tried that yet, lemme try

[uneven lantern]

I think the release is still in progress, but you could try checking 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.

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.

[main vortex]

thanks for the information. I just saw that the entitlements are synced but the LotR source material is not listed yet

[wary quail]

what browser should i try? i tried firefox and that doesnt work (dont say chrome)

[uneven lantern]

Whatever you like

If it works in any other browser, then the problem has something to do with the first browser.

[wary quail]

i tried microsofts browser and that didnt work either

[uneven lantern]

If you get the same issue, then it’s probably not a browser-specific issue.

Do you have another device you can try?

[wary quail]

it works on my phone but i hate the mobile app

[uneven lantern]

Seems like it might be an issue specific to your computer, then.

Maybe a network issue, or some other interference like a VPN or security software.

But if you can buy it on your phone, you’d be able to use it on your computer as well.

[charred vapor]

I just submitted the support ticket for it being missing, but there are a lot of tickets today apparently.

[swift bane]

I'm also having issues accessing the Lotr book, it doesn't show up in account entitlements either.

[charred vapor]

I think the servers aren't syncing properly to the licenses right now.

[uneven lantern]

It’s not missing; the release is simply still in progress.

There will be an announcement when the release is complete.

[swift bane]

That's what I figured, slow roll out.

[charred vapor]

Ahhh so the release time is like an embargo essentially?

[uneven lantern]

Where are you seeing a release time specified?

[charred vapor]

No release time showing, I am saying they put a release time in on the backend for the source material, correct? That would be the only way it wouldn't be rolling out.

Because if it had a release date it would have been listed on the market like usual. This one did not.

[swift bane]

It did have a release date a few days ago while it was available for pre-order.

didn't have a specific time, but it did have a date.

[finite meteor]

Ditto on the LoTR... purchased and its not showing up in my library yet, but no "will be available on"

[vivid flicker]

same

[swift bane]

It comes out today, it's just still rolling out I think.

[vivid flicker]

i just bought it and i see the confirmation email

just don't see it as purchased

[charred vapor]

Didn't notice it in the market earlier or talked about on the website. Just saw it today.

[swift bane]

yeah it was hidden, I only saw it when I was looking at the Illrigger last week.

[charred vapor]

Prob be a bit slow on the roll out, which is fine. We can essentially wait for it to happen by the end of the day since it is digital.

[vivid flicker]

as long as the purchase stick so i don't need a ticket lol

[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.

[vivid flicker]

yup first thing i checked

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to access the book from here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/lotrr

[vivid flicker]

no

[charred vapor]

It is not released for me

[vivid flicker]

it takes me to purchase screen

[charred vapor]

Nvm it still just takes me to the purchase screen after I click a link

[swift bane]

I can see the table of contents, but if I click anything it takes me to the marketplace

[vivid flicker]

just so i'm not spamming.. i have a confirmation email of purchase but cannot see it as "in library" nor do i see it as "you own this product"

[swift bane]

Same ⬆️

[final glacier]

Ah, same problem for me as well. Okay. I’m just glad I’m not the only one.

I’m sure they’re working on it.

[vivid flicker]

oh i'm def sure they are. I'm in no way bashing so apologies if it comes across that way. I just want to ensure the charge is valid since it went through. I know they are dealing with a backlog right now

[final glacier]

Oh no, I was just saying. I didn’t really read what many people said. I just skimmed through, and saw others had the same issue. I guess I was just more or less « thinking out loud. »

[uneven lantern]

I checked in with the devs. They are indeed still working on it.

[obtuse burrow]

glad I'm not the only one experiencing this

[obtuse burrow]

What would be the best way to stay up to date on progress related to this issue?

[main vortex]

this is pretty bad. sucks to have purchased a resource that we cant even access

[obtuse burrow]

I had the same issue with the DMG and XGE, but those were resolved relatively quickly.

[slim pagoda]

i just cheched on on my dndbeyond app its still says go to the marketplace so i think i may just wait tell tomorrow to check it for the lord of the rings books

[swift bane]

It's working for me now

[vivid flicker]

same

idc what folks say.. the staff and dev team are def on it

[rustic olive]

Does the dnd beyond subscription give access to any books or is it just for unlimited characters?

[vivid flicker]

The subscription is independant of materials

[fading bramble]

unlimited caacters, content sharing in campaigns, anda bunch of other stuff

itshouldbe listed

[rustic olive]

Ok thanks

[topaz forge]

What is this

[fading bramble]

what is what? The picture?A Modron

[vivid flicker]

its when you click too often.. you have to press and hold to authenticate

[obtuse burrow]

Guys, if you don't have access to your LOTR purchase, go to the DND Beyond support page on the WOTC website. I filed a ticket and got it resolved an hour later.

I would share the link, but it'd probably be deleted by the bots, so I'll refrain. Sorry for being unable to help further.

Oh, if you go to support dot wizards dot com it'll show you the link to access the DND Beyond support portal.

[topaz forge]

it happens when I go to dndbeyond, regardless if i click on anything

[cobalt turtle]

is there a way to fix these tooltips
for reference they are homebrew spells for this subclass

[dense viper]

Tooltips don't work for homebrew spells. You will have to use links to the homebrew

[cobalt turtle]

o7 thank you so much

yk this is better than nothing

ty again

[leaden socket]

I've got two barbarian characters, one started out with the 2014 rules and was later updated to 2024, whilst the second one was made from scratch using 2024. In the Saving Throws and Defenses section of the sheet, the second one lists things that the first one doesn't even though they both should have the same information (Minus a Species damage resistance)

It isn't an issue for me, I'm only showing this off incase its a symptom of something or other, or if you guys would like it fixed anyway

[cobalt turtle]

they might be subclass specific things? I would check that since they have different subs

[leaden socket]

I checked already. Besides, the resistances in Drone (Orange) is from rage. I know I didn't click on the thing in the image, but I can take screenshots if you would like

Maybe it's because there are two Rage classfeats, and the system is confused... I'll change Blue to cleric or something then back to see if tat fixes it

[delicate gate]

Hey so there is this new player I set up with content share in my campaign thing which should give him access to all the content but seemingly isn't

[leaden socket]

Nope, no change

[dry tapir]

having troubles adding an otherworldly patron to a dhampir bloodhunter i am making. the drop down is not showing any options to select. any suggestions?

[chilly lily]

Having difficulty with character pdf generation on dndbeyond. Whenever I download from the character's 'what's next' page I get an un-filled in sheet. Any ideas?
Win-11, Edge Version 132.0.2957.11

[uneven lantern]

The 2024 class has a new character sheet option that lets you activate Rage. Those resistances are displayed while Rage is active.

The 2014 classes have not yet been updated with those options.

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest having 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]

Try switching the class to either “Bloodhunter (INT)” or “Bloodhunter (WIS)”.

[uneven lantern]

What are you using to open the PDF? Maybe it doesn’t support form-fillable values. You could try opening it in Adobe Acrobat or a similar program instead.

Character sheet PDFs are also cached for a short time after viewing. If you opened it before providing any character information, that could also explain it.

[delicate gate]

They are

[chilly lily]

Tried in Chrome, worked fine...local trouble.

[delicate gate]

he just cannot access my content

[fading bramble]

did you turn it on?

[uneven lantern]

Do you have a specific example of something he’s trying to access? What happens when he tries?

[dry tapir]

i have the hemocraft modifier: wisdom option selected, but where would i switch the class to bloodhunter (int) or bloodhunter (wis) ?

[uneven lantern]

Sorry. Not the class, but the subclass.

[dry tapir]

Thank you!

[toxic jackal]

I'm trying to make a homebrew feat that awards learned spells, and every time i add more than 1 spell as an option, it suddenly won't let me publish the feat. why is this?

[leaden socket]

Problem resolved, no need to reply
Where would I find these options? I can't see them in the Home section when editing the character and neither can I find it within the sheet itself

[fading bramble]

Click on Rage in your features tab

there should be a drop down

[leaden socket]

Ah

Yes, that seems to have done it

Thanks heaps Moth

[uneven lantern]

Might depend on the specific error it’s showing, but published feats can only use spells from the 2014 Basic Rules or the 2024 Free Rules, for one.

You don’t need to publish it to use it in your own campaigns, though.

[halcyon turret]

i see lord of the rings book is on DNDB. does this mean if I buy that book and share it with folks, they can create new characters based on the lotr book classes/species that otherwise work just fine with other d&d things?

[icy rock]

Custom Backgrounds, not to be confused with custom lineages, built in the character creator do not add the tools, languages, nor skill proficiencies to the character sheet.

[twilit remnant]

This has probably been ask before but had anyone know how to add custom tokens to maps

[uneven lantern]

It seems like it’s meant to be self-contained and not really mixed with non-LOTR options, but nothing would stop you from doing so anyway.

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue.

Unfortunately the Custom Background portion of the character builder do not provide the added benefits that Backgrounds now receive (an Origin feat and an Ability Score Improvement). We’re working on updating this functionality - but there’s no ETA for this yet.

You can add them as a homebrew monster. Just give it a name and add an image.

@uneven lantern do you have a link to show me how to do that exactly

[lethal timber]

In dnd beyond the new lotr stuff says theres six new classes, what are they?

[dire blade]

The Captain, Champion, Messenger, Scholar, Treasure Hunter, and Warden.

You can see a very brief synopsis of each on this page: https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes

[halcyon plover]

Had a question about char builder useablity could the lord of the rings species be used for stuff outside the lord of the rings material ?

[dire blade]

I don’t see why not if it’s approved by your DM.

[clever gull]

Hello. If I have more than one campaign on D&DBeyond, is there any way to move a player character from one campaign to the other?

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to remove the character from their existing campaign, then use the invite link for the new campaign to add them there.

[clever gull]

But they would be able to join with the same character sheet they already have?

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[clever gull]

Okay, can you walk me through on how to do it? :( Or, is there a guide on the FAQ I can check?

[edgy oriole]

1. User goes to the campaign screen where the character is currently in
2. User goes to the "More" link under the character card on that screen and selects "Remove"
3. User then goes to the new campaign using the new campaign's invite link
4. User selects the now un-campaigned character (from step 2) and adds it to the new campaign

[clever gull]

Thank you so much ♥️

[clever gull]

Another question Does anyone know if D&DBeyond supports gestalt rules? Like, having two classes but for just 1 level

[fading bramble]

no

thats entirely a homebrew thing

[clever gull]

Alright, thanks

[delicate gate]

species

they just do not show up

while when I edit his sheet they do

[uneven lantern]

Do you have a specific example of a species he’s not able to see?

[delicate gate]

several, but Aasimar is one

also backrounds on his sheet don't work right

like he choose musician but it didn't give him the origin feat

[uneven lantern]

Which Aasimar? The 2024 version?

[delicate gate]

2024 yes

[uneven lantern]

If you’re editing his sheet, clearly the character is assigned to your campaign.

Did you (or anyone else) enable Content Sharing for that campaign?

[vivid flicker]

Getting an Internal Server Error when trying to access my campaign. Just trying to QC my player sheets for the next session. Is there a known issue at this time?

[delicate gate]

Y e s

it works for everybody else

[uneven lantern]

If all these things are true, I see no reason he wouldn’t be able to select that species.

• Content Sharing is enabled for the campaign
• Someone in the campaign owns the 2024 PHB
• The character is assigned to that campaign
• His entitlements are in sync

[uneven lantern]

Mine seem to be working fine

[weary brook]

Hello again, can someone help me with this? Still got nothing from support. Feeling my only option is to charge back on my credit card now.

[vivid flicker]

works now for me as well.. must have just been a one off thing. thank you for checking.

[uneven lantern]

Sorry, can you clarify here? Waiting on them for what, exactly?

I still can't reorder the PHB because I've been waiting on support this whole time.

[weary brook]

I'm waiting for them to respond, hopefully with a solution for the bundle discounts.

I preordered the 2024 rulebook bundle. When the PHB was supposed to be shipped, it got canceled instead. I got the email to reorder it with a code so that I'd still get the discount.

I decided to add a few other books to the same order while reordering my PHB, all with physical + digital bundles. The entire physical order was canceled and I was charged some weird half discounted price on the digital books. As a result I cannot reorder without double paying for the digital portions of the bundles, and I can't get the bundle discount I was supposed to get for the PHB

[echo linden]

does anyone know how to change the spell list for a feat like magic initiate? im trying to create a new 2024 Magic Initiate origin feat but for warlock instead of the other available options

[echo linden]

nvm i figured out how to choose the different spell lists and such i just cant figure out how to give an option to associate them with different ability scores

[uneven lantern]

I think those powers are beyond us mere mortals.

[echo linden]

Yeah I don’t believe there to be a way to do so with a feat. Instead im just adding all the options for the different ability scores

[warm hatch]

can i get some help pls referring to dnd beyond website issues

i have purchased a few books including old 2014 PHB and DMG as well as the new 1s for 2024 but when creating character i can only pick one subclass.

for example if i create a druid only subclass option i am given is circle of land. no moon stars or sea shepherd spores etc
it is the same with every other class only get 1 choice not all like i should have
i have allowed content from all sources but still nothing

[uneven lantern]

Are you using the 2014 class () or the 2024 one ()?

Are your 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.

[warm hatch]

i have tried both ways and yes

[uneven lantern]

And does that same page show the PHB there under “Current Product Licenses”?

[warm hatch]

yea both 2014 and 2024

and it is in sync

[opaque parrot]

Good day! So I just subscribed to the Master Tier, I created a campaign, and then I got a new button to "Launch maps" because I want to create one, but then it says I need to subscribe?

Or start my free trial

[uneven lantern]

That’s very strange, then. 🤔

[warm hatch]

see above lol make sure ur in sync

i had that same issue a month back

[opaque parrot]

Hehe how far above? 😄

[uneven lantern]

Here: #ddb-support message

[warm hatch]

thats how i already knew to do it for my classes when u told me @uneven lantern but still wasnt working for me now

[warm hatch]

bump

@opaque parrot

i think my issue may just be a bug so i sent ticket in

[opaque parrot]

It says "Your entitlements data is in sync! You should have nothing to worry about, but contact our Support Team if you're having problems accessing your purchased content."

Lemme restart my browser.

[uneven lantern]

If you’ve got the 2024 PHB, you’re using the 2024 class, and your entitlements are synced, I see no reason you wouldn’t be able to use those subclasses…

[warm hatch]

so try again now it may be in sync now but wasnt when u tried

[warm hatch]

thats what i thought to but its not showing for me thus why i sent ticket

but ty for trying to help

[opaque parrot]

Do people create maps somewhere else and upload or how do you do there usually? 🙂

[warm hatch]

i use another site its free but i can dm u the link if u like

Yes please 🙂

Hi. Is the Black Friday sale currently ongoing? ***Or ***will it go into effect on Friday?

And will prices become ***cheaper ***as Black Friday approaches?

[edgy oriole]

It's currently live but there's a known technical issue with the discounts not displaying except in the cart/checkout - the issue is currently being worked on.
See #dnd-announcements message

[delicate gate]

How do I cancel a subscription?

Whenever I try to manage it, it tells me to do it with google but never shows up there

[edgy oriole]

Go to your profile in DnDBeyond (https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscriptions/manage) and under the two subscription options is a link to cancel your subscription that will start the process.

[delicate gate]

And on the website it even just is telling me to subscribe when I already am

[delicate gate]

and yes I have tried clicking the sign in button and it has not worked

[edgy oriole]

No not there - go to this link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscriptions/manage

[delicate gate]

this?

cus it just pops up as a nothing burger

[edgy oriole]

Sounds like you may need to logout, clear browser cache, and log back in and see if that clears the gremlins out (stale cache preventing you from accessing the needed page).
Also make sure to disable any adblockers and VPNs as those can interfere with things.

[delicate gate]

using a different browser

[edgy oriole]

Oh good call

[delicate gate]

nope didn't work

[edgy oriole]

... very weird

Because the screen you're supposed to see looks like this

[delicate gate]

nope still not working

lemme try all this on the other browser

[edgy oriole]

If this still doesn't work, it may be time to reach out to customer support

?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

[delicate gate]

Yeah not working

it somewhat does on mobile

like it says I have the subscription just not that I can cancel it

And I mean my only thing here is just wanting to renew the subscription slightly earlier than the end date which is literally today

[edgy oriole]

At this point I'd reach out to Customer Support for support with this.

[delicate gate]

I mean I could also just wait a few hours until its 11/28 and then my subscription should be done meaning I can renew it

I know for a fact customer support will take their sweetest of time responding meaning it would be pointless to contact them until after it hits tommorow

[edgy oriole]

Yeah they are quite busy from what I understand with the current book releases and then it's also a US holiday tomorrow

[delicate gate]

Yeah

so I am not gonna do that

I'll just wait until the current subscription expires and then just get it again

[lost plume]

Hey yall, Im having an issue with my D&D beyond account. On my computer, I can see my character and campaign. But if I log into the same account on another device my character and campaign are gone.

any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

If you visit this page on both devices, does it show the same username?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[delicate gate]

Okay so I renewed my subscription, it fully went through

I got the email and everything I think

then I changed the payment method afterwards to a different one so it wouldn't renew afterwards and now its saying it didn't go through despite going through before and presumably taking the payment, what gives?

if it seriously took the money and then canceled my thing I will genuinely be pissed off because that is just stealing outright

It literally clear as day said it went through

and now its on hold due to a payment method change and it not working despite me already paying?

Ig tommorow I'll check to see if the money was refunded but if not we got a serious problem

its saying the order went through so I guess it didn't take the money? I'll just leave this here though just in case so that if it did I can follow up on it tommorow

[grave pumice]

where can i find i game to play with other people when i press on find a game there is only a server where they say you must be +18

[edgy oriole]

Look through the games posted in #looking-for-players and #looking-for-community . If you find a game that interests you, private message the user that posted the game or go into the thread attached to the game post and post something to indicate you're interested in that game.

Also make sure to read through #find-a-game carefully.

[uneven lantern]

If a subscription payment doesn’t go through, it will wait an hour and try again. If that still doesn’t work, the subscription is then cancelled.

If you don’t want a subscription to renew, you can cancel a subscription at any time. It will remain active for however long you’ve already paid.

[delicate gate]

It would not let me cancel anything

that right there is a lie

or I'll need a long chat with customer service in the future

[grave wing]

So where are the sale prices supposed to display?

I'm on the individual item page and it's not showing a sale price. Either I'm doing it wrong or none of the core rulebooks are on sale? But that can't be right for a black friday sale. could it?

[dire blade]

It shows up like this on the individual pages:

[grave wing]

Ah okay, so it's just that none of the core rulebooks are on sale then?

[dire blade]

The brand new books? No, though that doesn't surprise me in the least. That's common for all types of media that release this close to sales.

[grave wing]

Neither the 2014 books

[dire blade]

Well, they want to encourage 2024 rules update adoption, and putting those books on sale eat into that.

[grave wing]

So their practice is to not discount their new rulebooks on black friday because theyre too new. But also not to discount their old books because they don't want people buying them anymore?

[dire blade]

That's quite a loaded way to ask that. Plenty of old books are discounted, and they do want people buying them.

[grave wing]

How is it loaded? It's what you just said to me?

[delicate gate]

how do I make it so a dndbeyond subscription will not autorenew?

[dire blade]

It's loaded because it encourages a negative interpretation. Nothing they've done here surprises me or bothers me in the least, and frankly it was all expected. They want players to adopt the new rules updates, so they don't want to encourage purchasing the legacy rules.

[grave wing]

Okay but how is that different from what I said? Regardless of interpretation. Theyre not discounting the new books because they just released - but also not discounting the old books because they want people to buy the new books

[dire blade]

Looks like the 2014 physical rulebooks are on sale on Amazon if you want those.

[dire blade]

Specifically the core books, not just old books.

[grave wing]

Yes yes I do in fact mean the core rulebooks. Like PHB MM and DMG

[dire blade]

Cool.

[grave wing]

I still think thats the opposite of consumer friendly. But it is what it is

I already have the physical books, I just purchased a laptop specifically to go digitial in my DnD games. Shame on me for thinking Black Friday would aid in that

[dire blade]

You're welcomed to be upset, but I think it's a stretch to call it unfriendly. It's a sale after all. That's about as much as I'll offer there, though.

[delicate gate]

I mean it makes sense to not discount the new books, and if they don't want people buying the old ones then discount those leaving stuff like tashas, xanathars, sword cost, etc left to discount

since the new phb does adapt many xanathar and tashas things but it leaves pleanty unadapted

[uneven lantern]

This article has the full list of what’s in sale:
http://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1861-epic-adventures-epic-savings-shop-d-d-beyonds

[grave wing]

I wouldn't say I'm upset. Just confused really. If they don't want to discount their rule books on Black Friday that's their business. But it does make sense. They weren't advertising their Black Friday sale anywhere on the internet, and I know because I've been checking a lot since I bought the laptop. And If they were, it was hidden away and hard to find. So when I seen it popup on my phone I was surprised to see a sale at all, then when I went and looked at what was actually on sale, and the type of discounts there were... it all clicked. Thats why I came here to make sure I wasn't missing anything

[delicate gate]

Aight figured out how to cancel stuff

[glad tree]

I’m preparing for Frozen Sick. I see both player maps and DM maps. I assume that I load up and display the player maps and that the DM maps are just for my reference. But I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing some cool feature of the maps being linked somehow.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[soft frost]

Hey, i'm trying to buy the digital DMG 2024. But it wont let me proceed to payment? i've got it in my cart and im ready to pay, but DDB is just refusing to let me pay for the digital book, any ideas as to how I can purchase it?

Edit: I found that there's a partner site that I can go on, but I have to pay double because im getting digital AND physical, that isnt what im looking for. I'd rather only pay for the digital (and save 30 dollars). Is there a way on the partner site to ONLY get the digital?

[uneven lantern]

The DM maps are exactly as you’d find them in the physical book. The player maps have the location markers, secret doors, and other such identifiers removed. There’s no functional interaction between the two.

[uneven lantern]

In what way are you unable to proceed? Where exactly are you getting stuck?

[soft frost]

"Next: Proceed to Payment" option, I click it and it does nothing. I was able to purchase it on my phone through the app, but the brower didnt let me proceed.

[uneven lantern]

It’s not possible to create a feat with spells that use spell slots.

I’d recommend making a homebrew copy of your subclass and adding them there instead.

[past sierra]

Anyone here good with Avrae issues? Tried the Avrae discord but not seeing much in the way of helpful info. I have players in my campaign that have all shared content, but their subclass does not transfer to Avrae. Example, circle of the sea druid.

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean they don’t “transfer”?

[past sierra]

When using '!level options druid' for example, that subclass is not listed

But Land, Moon, Dreams, and Shepard are

[uneven lantern]

There is no built-in !level command.

Assuming that’s a user-made alias, you’d probably have to ask the user that made it.

[past sierra]

and that would be "!level v4.511 | @Derixyleth#0636" listed at the bottom of the command?

[uneven lantern]

Seems likely

[past sierra]

Ok, thanks

[uneven lantern]

It might have some sub-command you’d have to run to effectively activate those additional options.

But without knowing the alias itself, I couldn’t say for sure.

[opaque parrot]

Quick question: If i buy the physical edition, but from a normal store here where I live. Isnt there a way to register this to my DM account, so I have use of this when I´m playing with the maps? Or are we "forced" to buy the digital to get this to our account? 😄

[edgy oriole]

The physical books and DnDBeyond books are two separate products and the only way to get a DnDBeyond digital book with a physical book is through the digital+physical product bundles on the DnDBeyond marketplace.

So to answer your question exactly - buying a physical book does not get you the digital DnDBeyond book.

[opaque parrot]

Okay 😦

[frank tiger]

Question: Trying to make a 2024 warlock and it won't let me select xanathar's guide invocations? I can select XGtE subclass but the invocations just don't appear at all? Has anyone else experienced this / is there a fix?

[delicate gate]

I have a question about homebrew subclasses: Would it be possible to outright override the functions of a class with enough subclass features effectively creating a new class?

[onyx moth]

Did they ever fix the paladins getting their oath spells automatically added for 2024?

[onyx moth]

I don't think so, at least not currently. Homebrew classes or something close is what people have been wanting a long time

[knotty crystal]

Howdy, I'm trying to make a homebrew item for my campaign on DNDBeyond and I can't figure out how to make the weapon have finesse (Its base is a longsword)

[onyx moth]

"Modifier: Weapon Property->Subtype: Finesse"

Found this after a quick Google when I was struggling with same thing

[onyx moth]

Hope it helps!

[knotty crystal]

Much obliged

[narrow sparrow]

For today’s sale, it’s only one a few select items, right? My nephew has asked me for some books (Xanathar, Tasha, and Fizban’s Dragons) but none seem to have a discount price… :/ is there a promo code somewhere I’m missing?

[uneven lantern]

I think there was an issue with the sales prices not showing on the home page.

But if you click into them and/or add them to your cart, it should show the sale price.

Actually, yeah. Maybe those ones just aren’t on sale… 🤔

[narrow sparrow]

Nope, no sale price on the three books I mentioned. As far as I can tell only 37 items are on sale (33 digital ones) and the other 50+ items just aren’t… :/ hence why I was coming here in case I was missing something

[fading bramble]

Have you read the warlock's Pact Magic perchance?

[final epoch]

I have a player trying to use 2014 rules monk and it is still using 1dnd rules damage scaling for unarmed attacks, cant figure out any way to fix it

[frosty elm]

question, i have a hombrew subspecies that has an armoured shell i dont want it to be able to wear heavy armour how exactly would i input that into dndbeyond if no one knows then dont worry i just figured i should ask. i dont want it to be able to wear traditional heavy armour because it would be too obstructed by its organic plated armour, i am however offering that armour be altered by certain smiths and nps etc

i might just end up honour systeming it tbh

[rose shell]

Take a look at the tortle. They just have 17 AC and can't wear any armor but use shields. DDB can't forbid you to equip something, you just have to write a species feat and hope everyone using it is able to read.

[native shoal]

The text for Unarmed strike\shove\grapple\initiative is still incorrect on 2014 character sheets. Is this going to be fixed at some point, or has DDB now dropped support for 2014 rules?

[dim ginkgo]

Hey my friend is having issues with dndb and avrae
well come with discord than those i guess
he has linked his char, improted and all joined campaign and all !char shows the char but his rolls dont show up in our rolling channel
we have tried linking with discord again but when we do it says his discord is linked with anoyher dnd beyond account
he deauthorized dnd beyond from his discord and retried but its still saying the same thing
any idea how to fix this? my other players havent had this issue

I have already sent this to avrae discord but thought better to ask here as well to reach out to mroe people

[median arrow]

Good evening, I got a question cause I'm creating a wizard in a campaign but i can't find the magic stone cantrip in the spell list but I can find other spells from XGE. Am I missing something?e.g. Tiny Servent lvl 3 spell is shown (looks like the cantrips from XGE aren't shown)

[uneven lantern]

!ddb-debug should show the username of the DDB account they’re linked to. They’ll need to sign into that account to unlink it, then sign into the correct account to link it again.

They can link/unlink from this page:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[uneven lantern]

Magic Stone isn’t a wizard spell.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/2391-magic-stone

(You could make a homebrew copy of the spell and change its available classes if your DM allows.)

[median arrow]

Thanks for that

[dim ginkgo]

So apparently he gets an old deleted ddb account

and cant link new one

[uneven lantern]

Then he’ll probably have to talk to customer support.

hey ho

so im making a hb wizard subclass based on clerics and such but i cant seem to add the full spell list to it like divine soul sorcerer does

any1 who can or knows how to help me with this?

if this is the correct chat for this that is

[compact belfry]

does anyone know why my characters arnt deleting? it keeps getting stuck on "deleting kat" or whatever character i try to delete

[scarlet burrow]

somehow going afaik did it

[uneven lantern]

I’d recommend making a homebrew copy of Divine Soul so you can look inside and see how it was set up.

[uneven lantern]

No idea. Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

[compact belfry]

i just tried it on a different device and it worked

[random garnet]

Is it just mean or multiclassing Monk 2024 doesn't change the unarmed strike damage?

Im currently playing around character builder as Rogue. So when I took some classes in monk my unarmed strike is still 1 dmg (my strength modifier is 0)

[stable talon]

If your Rogue is wearing armor, Martial Art Monk abilities won't work. At least that was the 2014 rule.

[fading bramble]

still cant wear armor as a monk on 2024

[foggy nest]

Yo, is there a way to take off tiefling's fire resistance? I'm playing a homebrew race with the tiefling as the base and instead of resistance i'll have vulnerability to fire. I know how to add the vulnerability but not how to take away the resistance

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to make a homebrew copy of that species and change it there.

[foggy nest]

Thanks

[oblique oar]

hello im working on homebrew items at the moment im trying to create them on dnd beyond is there a way to make an item give you an extra spell slot?

[gilded briar]

Hi, is anyone having issues with the encounter builder in DDB? Several times now I have had to stop the game session mid-combat but when I've gone back to the encounter the initiatives have all disappeared and the encounter has reset to as it would be before running it. No 'resume' option. This is damned annoying!!

[balmy shoal]

why i can't have acces to stuff in the dmg on dnd beyond, i bought the book but it says that i have to buy it to have acces ?

[fading bramble]

Might wanna check your entitelements in the accounts section

[balmy shoal]

it on my account

some other item are working

[fading bramble]

You need to check your entitlements in your account

See if theyre in sync

[balmy shoal]

i think its the link in the chart that are broken because i can see the description of the item if i go by the book

weird

[fading bramble]

Again, check your ENtitlements and see if they are synced

[balmy shoal]

lol i'm not sure to understand what you mean by check my entitlements, where do o check that (i'm french so something i get lost in the english lol)

[balmy shoal]

yes it in sync

it does the same thing using chrome or firefox. i also erase the historic and cookies on both browser still not working

[balmy shoal]

thanks for your help, i've send a request to dndbeyond

[sacred dune]

Where's the most efficient place to see what I've purchased, vs what I have left to purchase? I feel like I'm missing something.

[fading bramble]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources

[sacred dune]

So, searching "library" will show me what's in my library, but there's no way to see the other side of the proverbial coin?

[fading bramble]

I mean, looking at the stuff that doesnt say In Library should help

[sacred dune]

I mean.. yeah. Just wondering if I was missing some "show X, not Y" thing.

Like, "hide books I already own".

[fading bramble]

Ah, yeah, unfortunately i dont think thats possible

[random garnet]

oooooooo. good to know. Thank you.

[sage thicket]

I am having trouble making a 2024 wizard with the Graviturgy subclass

I can't find it.

I have purchased it. Is it just not compatible with 2024 wizard?

[cold gyro]

If I make a campaign on DDB can I share my purchased content with members of it without being a monthly subscriber?

[loud drift]

Looks like partner content isn't compatible with the 2024 stuff yet

[loud drift]

At least one person in the campaign has to be a subscriber for sharing to work, but it doesn't have to be the book owner

[cold gyro]

Oh, so if one person in a campaign (not even the owner) is a suscriber, than all other non-subscribers can share the content they have on their accounts?

[wide elk]

Why doese the app not have subclass on the beyond account

[uneven lantern]

Can you clarify? I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, any Master Tier subscriber in the campaign can activate Content Sharing for that campaign.

Once it’s activated, everyone’s books get shared with everyone else.

[fast nacelle]

I've noticed a bug in the character creator. Creating an Orc Fighter with hit point generation set to "Manual", the first d10 generated hit point roll resulted in a value of "12". The second generated hit point roll resulted in a value of "0". Easily corrected and worked around, but it did take me by surprise when my 1st level Fighter with a 16 Con started with an inexpicable 15 hit points.

[solid kestrel]

Did they have Tough?

[fast nacelle]

No. Checking the manual window the d10 roll result before adding modifiers were 12 and 0.

Hence, a potential bug.

[supple swan]

Hi! I bought a digital copy of the 2024 Players’ Handbook and it’s saying I don’t own it? I can provide proof of the order receipt via DMs if necessary but I’m very confused

Never mind

It needed a minute apparently

[icy quiver]

At lvl 1 your starting hp is the max value of your hit die plus your constitution, in which case you’ll be get 12+3 to get a result of 15 hp. You roll your hit dice for hp when you get additional levels

[supple swan]

I've made a Warlock Subclass and I want to share it with my players, but it says it's too similar to the template (The Fathomless) I used? I'm not really sure how it works but this is the subclass:

fixed the spell list, it's still upset with me fsr

[uneven lantern]

That happens when you set the Hit Point Type to “Manual” before you’ve chosen a class.

[uneven lantern]

If you’re just sharing it with your players, you can ignore those warnings and use it as-is (even with your first set of spells). It’s already shared with your campaigns automatically.

The warnings only matter if you’re trying to publish it for use by the global community.

[supple swan]

Most of them don't use DnD Beyond - we're doing a play-by-post session in a Discord server so being able to access the site isn't usually an issue

[uneven lantern]

That said, you can try hitting the main save button to re-trigger the validation.

If the issues have been resolved, those errors should clear.

[supple swan]

I fiddled around and remade the subclass in the Legacy Warlock class and removed Elementalism (which doesn't have a backdated equivalent) and it removed the first warning

still stuck with this one tho

[uneven lantern]

Legacy warlock needs at least one feature each at levels 1, 6, 10, and 14.

[supple swan]

ah

one sec

nope

[uneven lantern]

That does look like it’s set up correctly.

Hitting the main save button for the subclass still doesn’t clear the error, though?

[supple swan]

which one's the main save button?

like just hit Edit and then Save?

yes that fixed it

thank you :)

[delicate gate]

Is there a list of commands used when making homebrew subclass I could see?

[uneven lantern]

Is this what you're looking for?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/25930-using-snippet-codes-in-your-homebrew

[delicate gate]

why is content share not an option?

[icy quiver]

One of you needs a subscription

[delicate gate]

I have one

like master tier

active

[icy quiver]

Are you content sharing in other campaigns?

There’s a limit of 3 campaigns

[delicate gate]

ooooooh

[uneven lantern]

Two of those just popped up on sale for today only.
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/Sale_Cybermonday_24

[median beacon]

why is there a limit on how many games you can share content with? and why is it only 3?

[fading bramble]

Its 5

[median beacon]

yeah? but still the same question, why a limit at all?

now i as a DM can only have 3 campaigns at one time

[fading bramble]

So you cant just share it with everyone

Its still a business

[median beacon]

yeah... but why 5? if im paying for the sub

[fading bramble]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[uneven lantern]

FWIW, while you can only activate it in five campaigns yourself, your books are also shared in campaigns where other people activate it.

[median beacon]

so they want us to pay for the sub and content, but still restrict up on how much we share it with other players...

[fading bramble]

Again, still a business

[median beacon]

no problems with the buisness argument, just the strict limitation, why 5, it feels like a low number

[median beacon]

but dont they also need a sub?

[uneven lantern]

Indeed

The point being you actually can share your books in a theoretically unlimited number of campaigns.

[median beacon]

how?

[uneven lantern]

You just can’t do it all on the one sub.

[median beacon]

oh with another DM

yeah

, thats my issue

[uneven lantern]

Or another player

Anyone Master Tier subscriber can enable it, regardless of their role in the campaign.

[median beacon]

yeah, but then i wouldnt have the D role

DM

thanks for the tips though

[uneven lantern]

Whoever creates the campaign is the DM.

If you create a campaign, any Master Tier subscriber you invite to it could activate Content Sharing.

And once it’s activated, everyone’s books get shared with everyone else.

At no point in the process does anyone’s role in the campaign affect the outcome.

[median beacon]

yeah, thanks, i just am thinking what to do now if i have more than 5 games going

[buoyant lichen]

Can you list multiple features on the same level so long as it adheres to the normal subclass levels, like 3, 3, 7, 15, 20?
But I could do 3, 3, 3, 7, 7, 7, 15, 15, 20?

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[buoyant lichen]

thanks

[dusty verge]

Ok, so, I'm trying to create a Lord of the Rings character on Beyond but I see no Lord of the Rings options. The Free League box in the first screen is checked but...nada. I haven't bought the book but my best friend has it and has it shared with me like all of the other books he owns. I also have no subscription. Any advice?

[fading bramble]

Are you making it in his campaign

[dusty verge]

No, he hasn't started one yet. I just sent him a message about that

[fading bramble]

And does he have a subscription and turned on content sharing

[dusty verge]

I think he still his a subscription. I know I have access to all the books in our regular 5E campaign

[fading bramble]

oh, you can only access stuff if theyre sharing and youre in their campaign

[dusty verge]

Bollocks. Well at least it should be an easy fix. Thanks 🙂

[buoyant lichen]

Are any of these lisensed

They all say free rules

Goddamn it it was summon

[uneven lantern]

Those errors only apply if you want to publish it to the global community. If you’re just using it in your own campaign, you can ignore those errors and use it as-is.

[buoyant lichen]

I'm still getting the error

After getting rid of summon elemental

But everything else is a free rules

And I ran the verify again by clicking save changes

[buoyant lichen]

Trying to publish it

[uneven lantern]

If the error’s still there, then there’s still a problem somewhere.

Are you using any external links?

[proven swallow]

For fighting styles, i select superior technique but it doesnt allow me any option to select a maneuver

is there something im not seeing?

[lean flame]

Is there a way to add a homebrew spell to the options provided by 2024 Magic Initiate? (Wizard specifically, but I assume it would be the same for all of them)

The options seem to be hard coded, and copying the feat as homebrew reinforces that assumption since there's no options/spells in the editor; the entire functionality seems to be "under the hood"

EDIT: Fixed it by adding the homebrew spell to the 2024 class spell list rather than the 2014 one 😅

[uneven lantern]

The Resilient feat has been updated to allow only a single ability score choice. If you've previously added this feat, you'll need to remove it and add it again to see the update.
@torn spade@solid wadi@viral cargo

And for anyone interested: Fey-Touched, Poisoner, and Shadow-Touched have received similar updates. You'll likewise need to remove and re-add to get those updates.

(The ones already assigned to your sheets were left as-is to preserve any existing choices made within those feats.)

[lofty holly]

I’ve noticed this “No Choice Made” text in the Reach to the Blaze section of my EEPC Genasi’s sheet. Is it supposed to be there? What does it mean? I don’t remember if I’ve seen this before. It also is not present in the mobile app

[uneven lantern]

It’s usually a signal that the feature provides some choice between multiple options and you haven’t selected one.

But in this case, I don’t actually know why it’s saying that. The rules for that species don’t provide any choices, and I don’t see that “No Choice Made” on my own character.

Can you share a link to yours?

[lofty holly]

Sure thing, here you go: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/30066910

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I don’t see it on yours either. 🤔

The new wild magic class already give "tamed surge" under the name "wild magic surge" at level 5? in Dnd beyond
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/137435402/WUyqni

[idle arch]

To clarify what Roel is describing, the snippet text for Wild Magic Surge seems accurate, but if you click it for the full description, it actually displays the text of the Level 18 feature: Tamed Chaos

It seems like it’s more than just a text mix up, since the character sheet has a Once per Long Rest use box, which presumably should be attached to Tamed Chaos instead of Wild Magic Surge

[knotty grove]

Anyone have problems buying things on DnDb?

[fading bramble]

might wanna check with your bank for that one

[uneven lantern]

[inner garnet]

Hey guys, whats up with the removal of spells on some classes?

I was browsing the spell list on D&D Beyond and noticed something: Witch Bolt wasn’t on the wizard’s spell list. Not only that, it wasn’t even described or detailed in the spell chapter on the D&D Beyond site. The spell has been deleted! (Although it’s still listed under the warlock’s spells.)
I did a thorough review...
A total of 41 wizard spells have been removed from their list, and 36 of them were completely deleted from the spell chapter (only 5 are still detailed in the chapter but have simply disappeared from the wizard’s list).

more possible Errata changes?

And there’s a curious pattern: some of the deleted spells are those that include the name of a famous wizard from the game in their title.
For example:

Mordenkainen’s Sword
Tasha’s Hideous Laughter
Melf’s Acid Arrow

Another pattern: almost ALL spells that begin with "Summon" have been deleted.

Summon Fey
Summon Undead
Summon Construct, etc.
The only one left is Summon Draconic Spirit (it’s still described in the spell chapter but was removed from the wizard’s spell list).

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased the Player’s Handbook?

Not all spells from the Player’s Handbook are included in the Free Rules.

The ones you’ve named are all found only in the PHB itself.

[inner garnet]

The free one, but why for example Witch Bolt is on the list of Warlock but not anymore in the Wizard list?

Power Word Heal has disappeared from the cleric's spell list, but it’s still on the bard's list.

those changes affected the free rules, some days ago was all fine

[uneven lantern]

I’m not sure why the Free Rules show that spell for one but not the other. I can pass that along to the devs.

Should be either both or neither.

But Witch Bolt is indeed a wizard spell in the PHB itself (which you’d need in order to access that spell on DDB.)

My guess would be that the Free Rules spell lists are meant to include only the spells found in the Free Rules, and that Warlock got overlooked.

[inner garnet]

hmm, good guess!

ty for the help!

[lost kiln]

Does anyone know if monster stat blocks are coming to Maps soon?

This Reddit post shows what looks like a sneak preview of the feature that was pulled directly from this page on DDB. I actually saw it myself as well but at some point it looks like the page is now taken down.

Just curious if anyone has any insight into whether this feature is coming soon. It’s basically the last thing I’m waiting on to switch fully over to use Maps for all my games.

[uneven lantern]

I haven't seen any official announcement.

[eternal bridge]

The new hammer of thunderbolts is setting my strength to 20 instead of 29.

[dire blade]

Yeah, I think it doesn't work with the way Belts of Strength are programmed. You might have to manually set your Strength to what it should be.

[uneven lantern]

I've passed that along for review, though.

But for now, yeah, you can use the "Override Score" box there to directly set it instead.

[uneven lantern]

Actually, should be fixed already!

(You may need to remove and re-add the item first.)

[maiden swift]

Is it possible to manually add a spell to the list of spells a character has that they wouldn't ordinarily learn on Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

There's a few different ways, depending on the situation.

For example: is this being added to their class spell list so they can prepare it, or is it always prepared?

Whatever the situation, though, the answer invariably involves using the homebrew system.

[maiden swift]

Generally the idea was that it was always prepared, I'm looking to replace one spell from a Druid's Circle Spells feature with another.

[keen ibex]

Hi so I bought a 50th edition package and now I won't get the two already-released physical copies of the DMG and the PHB until February when the MM is released.
How do I get a refund?

Then I'd just make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change it there.

[uneven lantern]

You'd need to talk to customer support.

[delicate gate]

how do you make it so that when a homebrew subclass gives you a language, you can pick a different language to learn if you already know that language?

[uneven lantern]

I don't believe that's an option.

Is this just for your own campaign? If so, I'd just have the player manually add a language of their choice directly on the character sheet.

[keen ibex]

Oh yeah they don't respond to those tickets

Is there a phone number where I can call a real person?

The "customer support" is not very supportive

[terse cave]

Do we have any idea when 2024 custom background support is set to become a proper thing on DDB?

[delicate gate]

what code would I wanna use for homebrew if I want a subclass to give fly speed equal to your movement speed?

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered in the order they're received, so the exact wait time can vary depending on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

I think they've been a bit backed up lately, but they are indeed answering them.

I'm afraid those tickets are the only way to get in touch with them, though.

[uneven lantern]

• Type: "Set"
• Subtype: "Innate Speed (Walking)" or "Speed (Walking)"
• Fixed Value: (none)

I honestly don't know the difference between making it "innate" or not. 😅

If you leave the Fixed Value blank, though, it'll then match your walking speed.

[delicate gate]

innate is your base walking speed, like inherint

[uneven lantern]

But how do those differ on the character sheet itself? I don't know what changes if I pick one over the other.

[glacial escarp]

im so confused on variants like how do they work??

[uneven lantern]

Variant... what?

[glacial escarp]

human variant

[uneven lantern]

It just provides a different feature set from the non-variant human.

They're both still narratively human.

Thank you! It didn't say test, but support responded to my email surprisingly quickly so it was sorted out. Thank you for the help, though!

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[iron linden]

I still see it when looking at my sheet.

Does it need some time to apply?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, might take a little bit for the cache to clear.

(You could try removing and readding the subclass, or level up and down to try and speed it up.)

[earnest hill]

from my understanding is that Evocation Savant adds spells to spellbook but d&D beyond is treating the spells as always prep and not counting against the spells the wizard can preps much like a Sorcerer. Is this addendum to the rules that not found in the 2024 PHB? I not see a real disbalance to having a 17th level Evoker having 31 spells prep, just saying this not seem consistent with the wording with Evocation Savant.

[grim otter]

Any way to add Battle Master Maneuvers (Brace) and Invocations (Improved Pact Weapon)? For example, a 2024 Warlock with Hexblade Subclass.

[keen ibex]

btw, thank you. that did resolve my issue, i have requested a full refund of all digital and physical copies of the 50th anniversary edition of the source books.

[viscid prairie]

I'm trying to homebrew a item on dnd beyond

its a musket that does 3d12 bludgeoning damage on hit, instead of the 1d10

but when i try, ti doesnt work and instead does 1d12 despite me setting it to 3d12

*it

[azure echo]

You might have to make a custom magic item then add the modifier damage then piercing

[delicate gate]

innate is like how your base ac is usually just 10 while speed speed is like a bonus or just overall change anything else be damned

[viscid prairie]

how?

[uneven lantern]

You’d need Type: Bonus and Subtype: Speed in order to add to an existing speed.

Type: Set is used when you want to provide a specific value.

But Type: Set is what then has the two different kinds of speed Subtypes.

[azure echo]

1. Go to create magic item
2. Press create from scratch
3. Under Base Item Type press Weapon
4. Then go to Base Weapon then select musket
5. After doing the name, description, and rarity go to Add a Modifer
6. In Modifier type select damage, in Subtype select piercing, under Dice Count select 2, and under Die Type select d12

[viscid prairie]

that's what i did

and it just kept it as a 1d12

ill remake the item again and try

[grim otter]

I think if you make a weapon BASED on a weapon it uses the weapon's base damage. (I also think Modified damage is added to the base damage rolls)

[viscid prairie]

explain a bit?

also im pretty sure when making a custom magic item you have to have a base weapon

[grim otter]

DO not make it a weapon then. Try making it a wonderous item.

[viscid prairie]

okay i feel DUMB

ill give it a try

[viscid prairie]

how do i give that item an action?

[uneven lantern]

You can’t

I’d recommend just adding a custom action directly on the character sheet.

[viscid prairie]

well rip

[grim otter]

I just tried to create it but only got to give the item 3D12 Bludgeoning damage. No Range or other features. Only test I used was Boom Stick and said I cannot share due to non-english language used.

Can make custom weapon BUT NO NOTE INFORMATION. (Properties/Mastery Info)

Any Way a 2024 Warlock with Hexblade Subclass can add Improved Pact Weapon invocation in character Builder?

Any word on any upcoming fixes (besides turning Slides to radio Buttons)

[spring haven]

Where can I set a setting to disable the 2024 core rules, so players don't get confused during charecter creation? (playing with 2014 ruleset)

[native shoal]

You can't. DDB have chosen to make it difficult to use just the 2014 rules. You'll also notice that some of the rules on the character sheet are 2024 only (e.g. Unarmed Strike/Grapple/Shove), and there is apparently no plan to restore the 2014 wording, not even under a "legacy" heading like they have on some other rules.

[spring haven]

Awesome...Well, if they don't want our money then its fair enough

[grim otter]

I thought one of the incentives to use/subscribe to DDBeyond was the Character Creator. the supposed ease of using DDBeyond to make your 2014 or 2024 character is a source of amusement for WotC?

[verbal creek]

No?

For the 2014 stuff, scroll fown in the classes or species tab.

[grim otter]

NO word of "We are working on making sure your warlock has access to all available Invocations based on Version of main class. (Add a comment on the old innovations saying now that Warlocks can cast rituals Invocation XXXX is not needed.) How can I use DDBeyond to give my 2024 Warlock with the HexBlade Subclass Improved Pact Weapon?

Also give Battle Master access to missing Maneuvers (I Miss Brace)

[spring haven]

Shouldn't be needed to scroll. Should not be needed to set filters on spell lists.
Should not be needed to go back and forth in menues for a player to figure out if the spell/class/race/.. is part of the ruleset that the campaign is using.

Especially new players have enough to think about with playing the game and having fun.. The UI should not be a problem-maker, rather it should make it easy for them by only showing selections that are avalable

[cedar thicket]

(completely new to the server but also completely new to online dnd and dnd itself somewhat) as a semi new player to all of this can i put my 10 cents in? in my opinion despite all the scrolling and all that having it all in one place can be a struggle but its also nice, if i really wanted something i can just look for it in one go rather than flipping through a 1000 page hardback spell book to find the exact one i want, and its not that tough a job to scroll down to the races its 1 fluid motion scroll and for what its worth whether you're doing tabletop or online dnd you're gonna spend hours going through all the bullshit when you're new and when you're a veteran the only diffrence is memerization.

[spring haven]

Its the difference between telling a new player:

a:
Create account on DDB
Click this campaign link and join
Create a character, the webside will guide you through the choises and just ask me anything

or

b:
Create account on DDB
Click this campaign link and join
Create a character but be mindfull to disable these 7 settings and enable these 4, when you enable this one you must disable this one after.

When you select your race make sure to scrool down to there it says 2014, but you can also pick the articificer even though its not in 2014.

When picking race be carefull you don't pick any from the 2024 list, or the volo list, or any of the other lists that I can't disable.

Right, now your character is created, as a spellcaster you can go through your choises, but make sure that each and every time you go to manage spell you remember to remove this tick, and add these ticks.

Now, when you look at the actions it says unarmed attacked, note that the wording there is not correct...

[verbal creek]

You have fingers. You can use them to click on the tabs.

[cedar thicket]

in all seriousness dude. i think this is just a you problem🤷‍♂️

i have never in my time of doing this met somone that would rather complain than figure it out, dispite everything dnd beyond is set up in the most non confusing way the devs could figure out and if you need to learn anything you have acsess to the books on the website too

so instead of ranting here just sit down take a breather and do some reading, it will help improve your short and long term memory and the action of scrolling while it wont do much its more just a proof of attention span.

[verbal creek]

That's practically 90% of the issues people had with stuff in general.

[spring haven]

I know the rules well enough, but having brand new players its a problem when they click on something and its says "This is the rules for..." and we then have to go over that no, its not, thats just DDB showing a different ruleset

[cedar thicket]

maybe its an attention span problem? i have no problem with any of it infact i find it fun, though the only thing i really have a problem with is items like weapons having no price

[verbal creek]

It's a laziness problem.

[spring haven]

• The problem being, its a bad experience for them = less fun

[verbal creek]

Then scroll down until you find the 2014 rules. It's not that hard to find them.

[cedar thicket]

thats where if they're having a tough time they have the people around them to ask for help

[verbal creek]

It's like Ruben said, Zub. It's a you problem.

[cedar thicket]

thats what dnd is all about its an experience you're ment to have fun and explore WITH FRIENDS and sure its confusing and tough but once you figure it out then you get into all the other stuff

and if you think charachter creation is a problem the dms have alot to run through (they deserve alot of respect especially if they can create a totally original idea)

[uneven lantern]

Alright, folks. Time to drop it.

[spring haven]

DDB had the absolutly best UI in my opinion.
Then they converted to 2024, it would still be the best UI, just for a different system.

Then they reverted and said they kept 2014 as an option... And the result is a mixed mess of possible confusion, rather than just keeping the two seperate....

Thas a UI problem

Legacy Rogue seems like somethings didn't take over well when yall worked on the '14 and '24 system in the background. Thats what I just noticed now but might be worth checking out throughout all of the legacy subclasses

[peak meteor]

I am starting a new campaign. I want to run it with 2024 rules. Am I supposed to have everyone uncheck 2014 core rules in their settings?

[green ridge]

Can you print off spell cards or ability details for 5e 2024 like you used to be able to do with 4e? I have new players starting and trying to find a way to do this without me having to recreate the wheel.

[uneven lantern]

I’ve passed that to the devs for review. Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

If you don’t want any character options from those books to be displayed, then yes.

[uneven lantern]

There’s no such feature on D&D Beyond, at least. You could try asking in #third-party.

[dull fox]

how do you add a custom inventory to a sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Go to Equipment > Manage Equipment > Add Custom Item

[grim otter]

I tried to add Brace to my 2024 Battle Master and My 2024 Warlock with Hexblade subclass unable to add Improved Pact Weapon invocation. Any work around?

[uneven lantern]

You could manually add those to your sheet as custom actions.

Or make a homebrew copy of that subclass and add it there.

[verbal creek]

You don't have to.

[native shoal]

How else do you avoid the confusion of a mixed ruleset?

[sand grove]

Does DDBeyond consist all of the backgrounds?

[uneven lantern]

All official backgrounds are available on D&D Beyond, if that’s what you’re trying to ask.

[warm surge]

Not all

There are only 5 free available

[dense viper]

There are only 4 backgrounds in the 2024 free rules. The rest you have to own the source book that they are in on DnD Beyond

[warm surge]

I’m trying to do a homebrew of the backgrounds that doesnt are available, but i’m not managing to get the 2/1 ou 1/1/1 rule to work

i’m using an existed one as template; but i’m not finding where to set this

[dense viper]

For the 2024 backgrounds? I think the homebrew tools havent been updated for the 2024 rules yet.

[warm surge]

If you choose one of the news ones as templates you can

But this option in specific is not showing

[dense viper]

I believe they currently use back-end magic to make it work.

[warm surge]

i’m gonna have to do it in the old version

and its sad because they changed the itens system too

kkkkkkkk

[dense viper]

My belief is that the homebrew tools wont be fully updated till after the 2024 Monster Manuel comes out next year, but that is just a guess

[warm surge]

Where do i get my class badge?

[dense viper]

id:customize

[warm surge]

ooo

thx

[warm surge]

@dense viper this is what i'm talking about... there is no place in the backgrounds homebrew to ser this

[dense viper]

Im pretty confident that it is back end stuff they are using but as a work around you can do that by having your background give a custom feat that has that as a modifier

Its still kind of clunky that way though

[scenic gust]

I was advised to come here for assistance building my homebrew subclass at least on the more mechanical side of things. Am I in the right place?

[dense viper]

This is the right place. I would advise that you say what you are having trouble with then when someone has time they will answer or advise.

[scenic gust]

I have two things I want to make. But I will start with the simpler of the two.

I want to create a resource. Similar to Ki or Sorcery points. I want to create a wizard subclass that can use special abilities in order to modify aspects of their spell casting for a price.

[warm surge]

wait i think i got it

[uneven lantern]

The quickest way to figure these out is to find an official subclass that works like you want. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it to peek inside and see how they set it up.

In this case, you’ll need to add an Action and give it a Reset Type.

Then after you save, there will be a Limited Use section at the bottom of the page.

[scenic gust]

I see. I know when I tried to look at monk I wasn't sure where the ki stuff was located but ill try again

[warm surge]

is there are a way of making setting a homebrew species that doesn't use dexterity in his ac at all? (unarmored or armored)?

like, his base AC is gonna be X+CON

and i want that when he is using armor, the armor is gonna give him X+CON too

no dexterity AT ALL

[uneven lantern]

I don't think that's possible.

You could change the base AC, but not how armor works.

(Unless you also homebrew the armor, maybe, but it's probably easier just to manually set their AC.)

[uneven lantern]

Ki is a class feature. You'd need another subclass feature to compare, like battle master maneuvers.

[scenic gust]

Oh battle master Maneuvers THAT IS PERFECT THANK YOU.

[warm surge]

in the homebrew options, there are:

• Set -> AC Max Dex Armored Modifier
• Set -> AC Max Dex Modifier
• Set -> AC Max Dex Unarmored Modifier

If i set all those values to 0

and then:

• Ignore -> Unarmored Dex AC Bonus
• Ignore -> Unarmored Dex AC Bonus

theoretically i will not get any bonus from dex in my ac right? from any source

and then i can go and:

• Bonus -> All types of Armor Class -> CON

is my thought right?

[uneven lantern]

I doubt it, but you'd have to try it to know for sure.
