Is the character part of that campaign where the content is being shared?
Have you toggled the right toggles to allow Fizban content to be shared? (might need non-core toggle turned on and possibly legacy as Fizbans was released with the 2014 ruleset i mind).
Also make sure everyone's entitlements are in sync.

#

?tag ddb entitlements

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.

Hi all! I'm a new player/DM and have gotten the 2024 players handbook so far. I was looking at getting Strixhaven and xanathars guide, would the subclasses and spells be accessible on dndbeyond 2024 characters? or would i need to enable 2014 legacy content to use them? also for custom backgrounds, do you just add the feat and ASI scores seperately to bring 2014 backgrounds to 2024 level? 🙂 sorry if these are silly questions, just dont want to spend £50 if i'm not really going to be able to use things

uneven lantern
#

The subclasses would be mostly available. Some of the ones in XGTE have been updated in the 2024 PHB, so the older versions from XGTE work only on the 2014 classes.

#

But for the ones that weren’t updated, yeah, you can.

#

You’d need to enable Expanded Rules in order to use any character options from either of those books.

gusty notch
#

i see! i think i understand 🙂

#

thankyou!

uneven lantern
#

And for custom backgrounds, yeah, you can add those manually.

#

Or you can create a homebrew background.

latent rain
#

is there a FAQ or breakdown for how D&D beyond works as far as license, books, campaigns, etc. works? I am a new DM and had previously purchased the 2014 gift set. My group had created characters via the d&d beyond app and we realized they were all 2024. I went out and bought the 2024 core rule books and am looking to run some more campaigns. I saw there was a bundle for physical and digital editions I could purchase...but I'm unsure what buying all 3 core rule books for 2024 actually does for me digitally. If I'm running these in person, what is the benefit of having them digitally? I see "beyond unlocks" but it states the same things for all 3 core rule books. Will all of my players have to repurchase all the books? Hoping there is an easy breakdown somewhere

uneven lantern
#

Everyone can access the 2024 Free Rules and the 2014 Basic Rules for free.

#

For anything outside of those, either you need to have purchased the book yourself, or you need it shared with you through one of your campaigns.

#

Purchasing a book lets you read the book in full (as if you had a physical copy), and lets you use its character options and monsters throughout the site.

#

If a book is shared with you, you'll also be able to read it (unless the DM prevents that shared book from being read), and you'll be able to use any shared character options for character assigned to the campaign that's sharing it.

#

Any Master Tier subscriber in a campaign can activate Content Sharing for that campaign. Once it's enabled, everyone's purchased books get shared with everyone else.

#

That subscription lets them activate it for up to five campaigns.

#

If you did still want to use the 2014 character options, they'll need to remove any 2024 options they chose (like their class) and select the 2014 version instead.

latent rain
#

Thank you!

#

How do 2014 books like Xanthar and Tasha and other campaigns work with compatibility on D&D beyond for people using 2024 characters?

That’s a known issue for older Paladin subclasses on the 2024 Paladin class specifically.

uneven lantern
#

As far as I know, yeah.

#

I have a quick question with my DNDBeyond account. I'm trying to build out my character's sheets with them, one of them is an Arcane Trickster Rogue and another is College of Glamour Bard...but, I'm unable to select those options in the character sheets???? What am I missing here? To my knowledge the Arcane Tricker is in the 2014 Handbook and the College of Glamour is in XGtE, which is showing I own those??

fading bramble
#

Youre using the 2024 versions of the classes

uneven lantern
#

To use Arcane Trickster or Glamour on the 2024 classes, you need the updated versions of those subclasses found in the 2024 PHB.

runic stirrup
#

Is there a way to choose to not use the 2024 versions? LOL, I just selected the class in the character creation, I guess not realizing it defaults to 2024?

uneven lantern
#

If you want to use the 2014 versions, you'll need to remove your classes and add the other ones instead.

fading bramble
#

not as of right now no to not use 2024

uneven lantern
#

Choose class2014Rogue Rogue instead of classRogue Rogue, for example.

#

And class2014Bard Bard instead of classBard Bard.

runic stirrup
#

OH, yep it helps if I scroll down the Class page and see the 2014 options

#

Thanks y'all!

#

What am I supposed to put in the attunement description? Whatever I put there doesn't make sense in either the notes or weird bar at the top and the examples don't clarify this for me. For reference, what I entered in the field at the time I took the screen shot was: "requirements: 14+ Wisdom. time: instant"

#

For example, if I change what I put in the description to "player" it would say "requires attunement by a warlock" which makes sense, but in the notes it would just say "warlock, damage, combat, light, thrown, vex" which makes absolutely zero sense

dire blade
#

Imagine it like this:

(requires attunement by a <YOUR INPUT TEXT HERE>)

#

You put whatever in there that you want to be a requirement for Attunement. Generally, you can just leave it empty for most magic items.

mossy sparrow
dire blade
#

Just put “You can attune to this item instantly without a Short Rest.” in the item’s text and put “creature with 14+ Wisdom” in the Attunement requirement.

#

There are artifacts that already do it this way in the game.

digital wolf
#

Yeah, that seems like the best approach

When homebrewing a weapon, is it a bug, or is there a reason why certain modifiers are applied irrespective of being attuned? This is when all modifiers have Requires Attunement enabled. Specifically the ones I am aware of are: Weapon property, and Damage.

#

Is there a way to make a Homebrew Dagger with 1d6 damage instead of the typical 1d4 and get rid of the Thrown property?

dire blade
#

Make it a scimitar instead and change the damage type to Piercing damage is probably the closest you can do.

fading bramble
#

or a Shortsword

dire blade
#

Shortsword has a different mastery property, so I think scimitar is closer, but yes.

#

does anyone know how to put a damage die increase on a magic weapon when creating a magic weapon item on dnd beyond

You can’t do that, unfortunately. Best to add it as a custom action on your character sheet instead.

Hi, would anybody know why my player's character sheet on dndbeyond has an extra asi that shows as coming from origins even though everything is from legacy and expanded rules from what I see?

real path
rose shell
real path
#

damn, guess I have to make a magic item as workaround?

#

also, there is no place to mark used channel divinity charges

rose shell
#

I just made a homebrew-copy of the watcher subclass and added the spells myself. Don't get shown as "always prepared" on the sheet, but they are added to the spell list.
And on both my paladins i have check boxes under "limited use"

real path
#

ohh that might work too

uneven lantern
#

And/or a link to that character? You’d have to make sure their Character Privacy setting is set to Public as well.

midnight hamlet
#

He has it under the ability score tab @uneven lantern

uneven lantern
#

All characters get a starting ASI, either through their race (in the old rules) or their background (in the new rules).

#

In this case, it looks like your player chose the 2024 Dwarf race and the 2014 Criminal/Spy background, neither of which normally have a starting ASI on their own (even though the actual character still should).

#

So the option you’re seeing there is basically just ensuring that character doesn’t get short-changed.

Hi I bought the Obojima sourcebook on DNDB, and I want to create a character using the new sourcebook. I checked 3rd party content, but when I go to make a character it only shows me the 2024 PHB subclasses and nothing from Obojima. How do I get it to hook into my online character sheet?

uneven lantern
#

The Obojima subclasses are currently available on the 2014 classes.

#

1985 Games has not yet provided versions for the 2024 classes, but they’ve said it’s in the works.

#

As a workaround in the meantime, though, you could make a homebrew copy of the 2014 subclass to see how it was set up, then manually reproduce it on a homebrew 2024 subclass.

ornate comet
#

ty

#

Except that's not my experience 😦

#

Looks like we will just have to build the sheets manually with gsheet.

#

Wizard should have Origami Mage as a subclass option but it doesn't even recognize the Obojima content, despite having it selected and using the 2014 books.

modest pelican
# ornate comet

That looks to be the 2024 Wizard given the subclass is listed as a 3rd level feature, rather than 2nd

#

You want to select the 2014 wizard class2014Wizard

#

If you have the right wizard version selected, you get a very different list of subclasses than what's in your screenshot

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, you’ll need to remove your existing class and add the other one instead.

Do Maps support images with transparency?

#

I was editing a map to change the color of the background to match the one the fog of war uses

#

So that when I show the rooms
The players don't get to see parts of the background

Maps supports standard web image formats like JPEG/PNG and PNG does support alpha transparency

I'm a DM that always runs my fights using the Encounters Tool on DDB, rarely have I had problems with it. However this current fight my party are in, all of the DMPC's aren't having their health updated in the Encounter. I'm making sure to edit the health on their character sheets for damage taken/healed and that still stays/saves and is accurate. However none of that is reflected in the initiative order health, which is very confusing for me. The players have theirs updated just fine though and I can also edit the monsters' health. For context, I've made each of the DMPC's regular character sheets and have added them to the Campaign/party and have had no problems with the health showing up accurately in an Encounter for them and my players before now. I've tried closing out my browser and exiting the encounter and re-entering, refreshing it and the character sheets and it still isn't reflecting what their health is actually at. Is there anything I can do to try to get it to work as it had before?

uneven lantern
#

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

ocean plinth
# uneven lantern Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

Yes. I've checked on my phone which uses a different kind of browser. I've also tried re-creating the same encounter with same enemies, PC's and DMPCs using Maps because it was suggested to me at the top of my encounter page just today. I never use DDB's Map tool because my party always uses drawable in person maps n figures, but i figure if i can use it just for the Encounters function then that's fine too. Except that i'm still encountering the same issue even in maps. Can edit the monster's health, my PC's health automatically shows up as what it is on their character sheets (still lower from the fight from last session), however all the other character sheets are still at full, even though THEIR character sheets reflect the previous damage.

#

Well I feel silly. I just tried healing them and then damaging them again for the same amount and refreshing the Encounters page and it finally updates.
Just glad it works now xD don't know why it didn't before.

Is there a way to add Action to a magic item?

modest pelican
#

nope, unfortunately

frigid tree
#

ah... guess i have to find a workaround...

modest pelican
#

You can add custom actions directly to the character sheet. If you want to distribute the item to your players and let them do it, you could put the instructions for said custom action on the magic item (not pretty, I know, but gets the job done)

frigid tree
#

i managed to do it by adding a spell, a workaround i found, it gets the job done, just hoping they will add the possibility to add action to magic items

Why do the books look like this now instead of how they should/did look like previously?

I’m using IPhone 13. I have it updated to its current version. I’ve done that multiple times but it’s still the same

edgy oriole
#

When you have the book open, in the upper right corner there's the 3 dots, and if you click that you can adjust the display settings.
You may have the settings set to Book. Try Clean or Dark and see if that makes it display better for you.

#

(in mobile app)

rich drift
#

Even if I was to change the settings which I have done as an experiment just now, it’s still not how it used to be writing wise.

#

I do have it set to book because I’d want it to be a book look wise it’s still how I screenshot it writing wise

#

None of the other options like line spacing or font size is changing when I pick other options either

edgy oriole
#

Hmmm - I'm not sure how it used to display for you previously so it's hard for me to figure out other steps to try and troubleshoot.

#

Have you re-downloaded the book?

It's tricky for sure but we're doing our best! dndLol (and thanks for your patience!)

Hey everyone, got a friend that is DM'ing and I have shared my 2024 monster manual through the campaign. When he tries to add a water weird it is fully greyed out. Any ideas why it is this monster and a few other are doing the same.

dapper gazelle
#

If this is for Maps VTT, it is a rare location where the user of the content has to also be the purchaser or it will be grayed out.

viral fossil
#

Hmm weird cause he can add other things to it without issue and I have DM'ed and added monsters from his books with not issue.

dapper gazelle
#

As to why some monsters would work, some monsters that appear in the MM also appear in Free Rules and Free monsters will be treated as owned.

#

May want to check sharing settings on the campaign. It is possible to disable specific content when sharing. It may be unintentional, but it does happen.

viral fossil
#

Yeah fair enough kinda sucks but guess it is what it is.

#

Thanks really apprecitate the assit.

dapper gazelle
#

For example, I don't share the adventure book in the campaign for the adventure I am running.

viral fossil
#

yeah that makes sense

dapper gazelle
#

The person who owns the campaign and the person who owns the content can check their settings. If they both unblock, it should show.

#

why does ddb say unarmed strike dice as 1d8 for 7th level monk?

#

martial art dice at level 7 is 1d6 right?

modest pelican
#

If that's a 2014 monk, it'll be displaying the dice progression from 2024 monk due to a system limitation mentioned when the PHB 2024 released

unreal niche
#

oh ok, I just created a quick think to see if my manual character stats were correct. so if I am using just 2014 rules, it will be 1d6. but since ddb uses 2024 it is showing 1d8 right?

is there a way to use the new versions of the character sheets that have come with 2024 on beyond?

#

also also, i have added a speel with charges to a weapon that should reset after a long rest. but when testing it and using the long rest the charges to not recover and i have to manually unselect them in the weapon details.

rose shell
#

Long Resting only recharges Feats. Always did (at least the last 3 years since i use DDB).
Has to be on the known issues list already.

median beacon
#

so its a known issue that long rests dont recover item charges?

fading bramble
#

I just tried the long rest, and it reset all of my LR features on my Sorlock

fading bramble
dire blade
#

Items usually recharge on Dawn, not Long Rest. These do not always overlap, so DNDB doesn’t attach charge reset to Long Rests.

As that's not an actual mechanic in D&D, DnDBeyond won't support it.
You could create a homebrew feat and in the text description describe your super advantage mechanic. The player would have to roll the appropriate dice though.

If you want to see the rest, you should open the PHB instead.

barren canyon

But yesterday I saw the other subclasses like vengeance paladin, or wild heart barb

#

In the free rules, which is why i found it weird

Those aren’t part of the Free Rules. They’re in the PHB.

#

Ah, i see them now
Tho weird cause I swear I saw them in the free rules before as well

I don’t know, then. There’s no scenario I’m aware of that would cause them to appear in the Free Rules.

#

Okay so open up the Extras tab (Actions/Spells/Inventory/Features & Traits/Background/Notes and then Extras - click that tab)
Then click the Manage Extras button
Then Add an Extra, then select Misc. then in the Filter look for the creature you added to your homebrew collection.
Once you've found it, click the Add button to add it to your extras tab.

#

That's now a creature you can refer to in the game (e.g. that can be what you use as your beast assuming the DM and group are good with it).

  1. Have you enabled homebrew content for the character

I noticed the heroic warrior feature of a 10th level champion fighter in beyond has the 1 action next to it. To me this implies it takes an action to give yourself inspiration at the turn when you dont have it, but the players handbook doesnt state this requirement. Shouldnt beyond state no action for this feature.

You’re using the Magic Initiate from the 2024 PHB, which does not increase any ability score.

And actually, the 2014 version didn’t have any ability score increase either.

So either way, that’s working as intended.

If it’s one from the 2024 PHB, the rule is to ignore any ability score increase from older species.

Has the ddb encounter builder not been updated for 2024 ruleset?

#

When building an encounter for a party of 5 lvl1 characters, it is telling me that 4 goblin warriors is a hard encounter

#

And that is a lie

#

At least according to the xp budget method of building encounters as described in the 2024 DMG

the encounter builder itself is in 2014 yes. DDB maps is in 2024 though. (Also, be do warned thatlevel 1 combat can be extremely squishy, it can go both ways)

Why True Strike is adding my cha mod? I'm getting something wrong?

It does let you use your CHA instead of STR/DEX, so that would also mean it gets CHA added to it (which means True Strike isn't worth using until level 5 if you have Pact of the Blade, as they both do essentially the same thing, but then you can get Thirsting Blade if you wanted which would be more damage than True Strike if both hit).

Note that the character will still count against user 1's character limit between steps 2 and 3

Did you resolve this? My workaround is to switch to a different browser for a while. It's frustrating. I think DDB's session authentication code needs seeing to. "Press & Hold" is one symptom, I've seen missing graphics as another. The usual response you get in forums is to clear your cache but that makes you feel like it's you that is doing something wrong.

I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but when I choose the new Great Weapon Master, it gives me the wrong bonus to damage.

I have a +2 prof bonus, but it only adds 1

dapper gazelle
#

Do you have a link to the sheet? If I had to guess though, my suspicion is you have a negative modifier from something you may not realize.

haughty blade
#

The normal damage is 1d12+3, i thought it should be +5 after not +4

#

I don’t have it selected right now but I can if needed

dapper gazelle
#

If you can, yeah, I want to see what it shows.

haughty blade
#

There

dapper gazelle
#

So, I think I might know the issue.

GWM gave you +1 to STR which happens to make your strength 18 now. As a result you now have a +4. The +1 you are seeing is coming from the higher STR score.

In effect, it's not adding +1 for GWM, it's adding nothing for GWM.

haughty blade
#

So it should be +6??

#

Do I just need to add the damage manually or by a snippet then?

#

I thought because it’s not the usual -5 +10 anymore it would do it itself, but that explains it 🙂

dapper gazelle
#

+6 would be correct.

#

What I'm not sure is whether Beyond just does not add it. Need to check one of my own Barbarians.

uneven lantern
#

My guess is that it's intentionally omitted because that bonus doesn't always apply.

fading bramble
#

yeah, the GWM bonus onl applies on the Attack action attacks

uneven lantern
#

And even then, it's a "you can", which means it's technically a choice.

#

(Though I don't know why anyone would choose otherwise. dndLol)

dapper gazelle
#

My Barbarians aren't doing it either.

haughty blade
#

I’ll just make a snippet then, thank yous

dapper gazelle
#

If it helps, in the old days of GWM, I used to add a custom magic item (homebrewed) that just added the -5 to-hit and +10 to damage. I would "equip it" when I was doing the trade off shot. In the new system, you could create one that you could turn on to add the new damage for GWM. I make them as Artifacts so they sort at the top of the Inventory screen and can be easily adjusted.

That does actually sound like a neat idea, thanks 🙂

Hallo! New DM looking to homebrew a bit. Does anyone know the difference between a variant species and an option?

uneven lantern
#

A species option is what used to be known as a subspecies.

#

Like the 2014 elves or dwarves.

#

Each one adds on to the traits of a shared parent species.

#

(Nowadays, these are typically designed as choices within the species instead.)

#

A variant species, on the other hand, doesn’t inherit any traits from the parent species. It just follows its own rules.

#

Like the 2014 variant human.

#

Gotcha

#

Variant is like starting from scratch but with the "human" name?

I assume if I want to carry over most of the basic "human" traits, I'll want to choose option

You can manually recreate stuff as private homebrew, assuming you have access to it physically or in some other form, but it's obviously not as easy as just making a homebrew copy of something you already own on DDB.

I bought Glory of the Giants recently so I could get the Rune Shaper feature. What's bothering me is that I can't find it anywhere in the actual features list for me to grab? I've heard from others that, "the feature still works, it's just that you have to place your runes in manually." The feature is just, not showing up at all for me though. Can someone help me figure out what's going on?

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.

I'm a brand new baby DM and I hated modules so I just made my own world and drove in head first. I've got planned a pub crawl for the opening of my game and the players will be cell mates. I played a 10-20 campaign with them so they won't resist pub crawling to start.

Trying to make a custom magic item. I have the description already but idk how to properly add it to dnd beyond for my charecter sheet. anyone able to help?

#

The Shredder
Lute
Requires Attunement
As an action, you can strum this lute to project a magical wave of sound at a creature within 60 feet of you. Make a ranged spell attack against the target using your Charisma modifier.
If you are proficient with lutes add your proficiency bonus to the attack roll.
On a hit, the target takes magical slashing damage equal to 2d8 + your Charisma modifier.

#

it's a lute but idk how to write it in dnd beyond so it shows up as an attack action

uneven lantern
#

It’s not possible to add actions to magic items.

#

But you could create a custom action directly on the character sheet to go with it.

#

Just go to the Actions tab and hit Manage Custom in the top right corner.

#

I want to make a feat that just allows me to add new spells to the spell list. No free uses or anything like that, just extras to the spell list that can be cast with spell slots. If I just leave all options empty, it makes the new spells "At will" instead of costing slots. Which option works for it?

modest pelican
#

I don't believe feats support that, but backgrounds and species do (Ravnica backgrounds and Eberron Dragonmarked species both add spells to your spell list)

uneven lantern
#

Subclasses can do it, too.

ivory nova
#

Odd distinction as feats like Fey Touched also add spells to the spell list on top of giving a free use of them.

modest pelican
#

That's because they're set up differently

#

There are (AFAIR) no official feats that add to your spell specifically

ivory nova
#

Telepathic I think has specific text that says you can cast detect thoughts with spell slots.

#

Technically it doesn't say "Detect thoughts is added to your spell list", but still, the spell slot use is there

#

Magic Initiate says "You learn to cantrips of your choice" and then "You always have the spell prepared".

modest pelican
#

Neither of those are adding options to your spell list, they're granting the spell with both a feature-limited casting and the ability to cast it using spell slots

#

Adding something to your spell list works very differently; you don't automatically learn the spell, it just becomes an option to pick whenever you gain or change a spell

#

Official options that add spells to spell lists are subclasses, backgrounds, and species

ivory nova
#

Which is what I said. The functionality I'm looking for is a feat that lets you learn spells that can be cast with spell slots.

modest pelican
#

no, you said

allows me to add new spells to the spell list
This is not the same as
lets you learn spells that can be cast with spell slots

#

For that, just copy a feat that already exists that does that and modify it

ivory nova
#

gonna try it

modest pelican
#

Fey Touched would be one such example (both the 2014 and 2024 versions)

uneven lantern
#

It's not possible to create a homebrew feat with a spell that uses a spell slot.

#

The devs can do it; us lowly mortals cannot.

ivory nova
#

Telepathic only has 1 modifier where it adds telepathy as a language

modest pelican
#

Yes, Spamandtuna pointed out it's not possible

#

I was incorrect

ivory nova
#

How strange... spells can have unlimited use, a specified number of uses, but can not be tied to spell slots. Maybe something that'll change eventually.

Per the Dragon Delves preorder:

Pick up The Ultimate Bundle by choosing Digital + Physical when you add this book to your cart to receive special digital bonuses:

  • Dragon Lairs Digital Map Pack, featuring 5 additional maps and 10 exclusive stickers for your dragon-themed adventures
  • Ancient Golden Dragon digital dice
  • Does this mean digital preorders receive no bonuses or incentives on their own?
  • Will the "Dragon Lairs Digital Map Pack" be available separately at all?
  • Are the contents of the "Dragon Lairs Digital Map Pack" locked to Maps or are they downloadable/printable images like in a regular book?

Great, thanks. Bummer to lose out on DNDB preorder bonuses. I'm not terribly incentivized to preorder now haha. Will be interested in the answer to (C) because if the maps are downloadable and usable physically I'd be much more inclined to do the bundle to get them, but if they're for the Maps tool only then I am much less interested.

Question for someone more knowledgeable on the Homebrew Species creator than I am:

Trying to create a "mutant" species option that will be able to have multiple mutations, so I decided to build off of the Simic Hybric as a base.

However, during the character creation process, my Mutant is only showing the ability to pick 1 option whereas the Simic Hybrid can pick 2 options. I've poured over the two species creation pages and cannot for the life of me figure out why I'm not getting 2 options. I even had some of the options set to a different level like how Simic Hybrid has some set for 1st and others set for 5th level.

uneven lantern
#

Look for a field called “Character Levels Where Options Known”

#

If you put 1,1,5 there, as an example, they’d get two choices at level 1 and one more at level 5.

sly valley
#

... huh. I'll be honest I saw it was blank on the Simic Hybrid so I wouldn't have thought that was it at all.

uneven lantern
#

If it’s blank, they just get one choice whenever they unlock the feature.

#

IIRC, Symic Hybrid has its options split between two separate features.

#

So you get one choice from the first feature at level 1, and a separate choice from the other feature at 5.

#

Battle Master would be a good one to compare to if you want to see that field in action.

sly valley
#

Strange. On the creator the "animal enchancement" feature for the Simic Hybrid is all one feature.

Quick question: a character of mine would be wearing a Mizzium Apparatus as an Artificer 10 / Wizard 3 multiclass.

Is there a way to show every spell that they would get due to the Apparatus? Like, because of it, they can cast 4th level Wizard spells, but I can't see them in the spellcasting section of the character sheet.

I saw online that some people would suggest doing a magic item that would be the spells, but that feels like a huge undertaking due to the massive Wizard spell list.

To publish it for the global community, it can only include spells from the 2014 Basic Rules or the 2024 Free Rules.

If it does include only valid spells, that error should go away.

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

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

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

Any homebrew you create is automatically added to your My Homebrew Collection as well.

#

I wouldn’t publish anything unless it’s finished and playtested and you want to share it with the global community in its current state forever.

Not sure if this is the right channel but on my character sheet I seem to have this theme, I however don't seem to have it in my list of themes to pick from so I was wondering if anyone knew what the source of this theme is?

#

It was one of the preorder bonuses for Mythic Odysseys of Theros.

#

Maybe your DM added that to your sheet?

Another DM shares content with me (and I him) but today some of the stuff wasn't visible when one of my players tried to create a new character. He went to try the ol' off and on again on content sharing, and is getting this error message, but we're not sure what to do with it.

When running a session as the DM, I try and do attack rolls for the enemies. For some reason, I am not able to see the results of the dice rolls. I look at the game log on my phone or in other browsers, I don't even see any updates. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Hey guys, I host a weekly campaign using DNDBeyond. This even (just now) I logged on to DM our game, and my entire campaign is completely gone. DNDBeyond is acting as if I never had it.

I have a few created encounters, and those are still there, with a link to the missing campaign. but, when I click on the link I get a 403 Forbidden Error page.

I have tried clearing my cache, and searching on reddit and the forum boards, with no luck.

Might anyone have heard of this before, or offer some suggestions of help?

Did something happen to the mobile app content? It appears there’s a CSS issue with the exported content on mobile. The books look “bad” now. I don’t have a screenshot of content from before, but all books look like this now.

This sometimes happens if your app has its cache corrupted on an app update. Reinstalling the app will fix it.

why does creating a homebrew magic item based on a magic tattoo, ammunition, or arrow, result in the homebrew item having a tag in brackets

#

I can't seem to remove this tag from the brackets

It's probably set in a dev-only field that none of us can edit.

Are your account entitlements in sync?

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.

#

Did you purchase the book yourself, or is your character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you?

#

Do you have Expanded Rules enabled for that character?

#

When selecting your class, did you scroll down to the Expanded Rules section?

twilit sigil
#

It’s being shared.
Yes
Yes

Were your entitlements in sync, and is your character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing that book?

Is there a separate channel for maps questions? I was wondering if there is a limit to the number of monster tokens that can be added? I seem to have one map that wont allow me to add monster tokens to... I can add stickers, but not monster tokens. It does have probably more than 100 on it already (as before stickers, we homebrewed some "city" monsters)

Is this something new or have I just missed it? In the character app right click on a dice roll for damage and this menu pops up.

I believe it's new. I noticed it 2 days ago myself.

Lately I’ve noticed this graphical glitch in the character editor. Luckily it doesn’t seem to affect functionality, and corrects itself within a few seconds (ie, the first picture is hovering over hp immediately upon entering the editor, the second is taking the cursor off for a few seconds, then hovering back over it)
Has anyone else noticed this? To my memory this is a cross browser issue

Would love to to see the dice icon be able to move from either right to left side on app. Get in the way to see results of die rolls sometimes.

How do I properly edit this? I don't know coding stuff and this just looks like a bunch of gibberish to me. I've tried before and messed it up. I just want to make it a slashing attack, swap the damage die for 1d8, and add 2d6 necrotic damage.

Is there a way to make a custom item that requires attunement?

#

(Outside of homebrew, or is it only homebrew, or is Homebrew even able to do that?)

dire blade
#

Homebrew can do that, yes, and it is required to make a custom item with this behavior.

dense viper
# wet cradle How do I properly edit this? I don't know coding stuff and this just looks like ...

Start with something like this:

Scimitar. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d8 + 1) slashing damage and 2d6 necrotic damage.
Highlight that sentence.
Then hit the button that looks like a calculator (The button on the far right, on the send row labled "Add rollable dice blocks automatically")

In the box that pops up click "Add Rollable Dice Blocks"
You can now exit out of that box and the dice should roll for you.

Dude why did I buy Maps from D&D Beyond its ass it’s not working for me

modest pelican
#

Well for starters you didn't buy maps, it's part of the Master tier sub

#

Have you tried clearing your cache and reloading?

#

If that doesn't work, you probably want to provide more information (including a screenshot that captures the full maps screen, you've cut off the top where it displays the map browser etc) such as browser, device, etc
I've just loaded maps myself and it's working fine for me

This is the whole thing I reset the computer didn’t work I loaded it in another PC and it worked completely fine. Tried to press every button didn’t work now I don’t wanna understand how to do it I just got it today

I created a whole new campaign and tried it there and also didn’t work it doesn’t show the map but I can still interact with it

I can spawn characters can grab them, but I don’t see them

Here’s the thing I’m using the same website in the other PC and it’s working completely fine when I started the map, it worked on the computer, fine and suddenly it goes to Black

For example, here, I’m using the same website, but it’s working completely fine

#

Also, give me a moment let me try it

modest pelican
#

If it's fine on a different machine, the issue is your machine, not Maps

#

Could be some kind of file conrruption or hardware/shader issue etc

upbeat wigeon
#

Could be, but it worked completely fine when I started

#

Is it like some sort of thing I pressed by accident you think

modest pelican
#

Dunno, but doesn't seem to be a Maps issue IMO

upbeat wigeon
#

Just give me a few minutes, tried another website if it did happen I guess I cannot do shit about it

#

Thank you though, appreciate the help

dapper gazelle

One thing to try is temporarily disable all extensions or plugins. Once you see if that helps, you can always turn them back on. If it does work, you can iterate until you find which one is causing the issue and can decide from there how to proceed.

Having trouble selecting ASI feat multiple times on a fighter. Nevermind... when switching from milestone to XP it assumed i had 0 XP and wasnt a 8th level fighter anymore

It's been 7 & 1/2 months since the PHB was released on DDB, and they have still not fixed the missing 2014/legacy rules on the character sheet (e.g. for Unarmed Strike/Shove/Grapple and Initiative). Do we know if they are still planning to fix this, or have they officially stopped supporting 2014 rules? The "fix" is literally just adding some legacy text to the tooltips, there shouldn't be any actual coding involved, so it shouldn't be taking this long to implement.

So I was making custom items and suddenly two of them appear cut off... I don't know what I did different

Um help please?

Did you copy and paste that text in from another program? It might have copied some unexpected formatting with it.

#

I’d recommend trying to re-entering it without that formatting.

mint hornet
#

using the same program I did the last few to type up the concept but I will try clearing the format

#

even posting as plain text didn't work

#

while this is something I did a couple days copying from the same program I used for those two.

uneven lantern
mint hornet
#

First one is the former is paste as plain text the latter is not it’s just straight paste.

uneven lantern
#

The bottom one is using the site’s normal font, though, and the top one definitely is not.

#

You might try hitting the </> button in the text editor’s toolbar. That will let you see the underlying HTML.

#

My guess is the top one is wrapped in <code> tags.

#

But I’d just delete everything there and start again from scratch.

#

Thank you it was a code tag but from DnDB. it was the pre tag must of accidentally hit it when bolding and underlining stuff.

Hi, I'm trying to take the Rune Carver background,
It asks me to pick a tool proficiency i picked Weaver,
In the Rune Shaper Feat :
"Rune Magic. You know a number of runes equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down), chosen from the Rune Spells table."
My proficiency bonus is +2, so I should be able pick 1 rune, but it doesn't let me pick anything
Is there anything i did wrong or is it simply a bug on D&D Beyond ?

You could make a homebrew copy of your subclass, for example, and add it there.

You don't have to use the 2014 wizard. It also works on the 2024 wizard.
