Was doomscrolling to cope then came back to see your reply just now
I followed your instructions and synced my entitlements and closed my browser then reopened it
I can see it now
Thanks for your advice. Have a good day!

#

Is anybody having trouble syncing their entitlements? I've tried syncing them many times and even contacted Support about it, but hasn't worked so far.

#

After you click it, it should pop up with a banner saying the sync it was successful.

#

If that happens, you’re good.

#

Don’t worry if the page itself still says things aren’t in sync. That’s a current display issue, not a functional one.

#

Thanks for letting me know. I'm guessing that the website might get an update in the near future.

#

When I try to join a campaign with an existing character (this character isn't in any existing campaigns) I get to the join screen and can make a new character, but clicking any of my existing characters does nothing

#

For example, clicking the blue arrows near me characters do absolutely nothing no matter what I try

fading bramble
#

you need to scroll down and click join with this character

you saved me. I was so frustrated when I was unable to use my first source book :D

#

Are there currently issues with the implementation of the material from the Crooked Moon book, by any chance? I have the character option book, can read it if I go in the Sources section, but I can't find any of the Classes, Species, Items, or Feats from it in the character builder. Plus, if I try to look up the items in the Game Rule section, it's acting as if I didn't own the book.

#

Watch for a popup that says the sync was successful; don't worry if the page itself still says things are out of sync.

Thank you very much! Seems like it fixed it!

"Synch My Entitlements" is pretty much D&DBeyond's equivalent of turning it off and on again.

Hay so I'm having problems using the thing I prordered, I don't know whats going on I can use any of the content like at all here is the proof that I have it can you guys please fix this

#

im having a similar problem where i cant access it on 2014 when it said it would be compatible with both 2014 and 2024 when i pre-ordered it

nimble ether
#

this is especially weird because these books were written before the new core rules had even come out, there is almost no reason I can think of as to why this was done.

dapper gazelle
#

Wizards has not hidden the fact that future supplements will be targeting / supporting the new rules. DDB appears to just be towing the party line.

oak forum
#

but it said available for 2014 and 2024 so

nimble ether
#

I did not understand a word of that if I'm being honest.

dapper gazelle
#

Maybe also to be noted, if this is meant as a request to include it with support for 2014, i think it probably should be sent to #ddb-feedback .

oak forum
dapper gazelle
# oak forum it said it would be included when i pre ordered the bundle

Oh, yeah, I am not questioning that. Only saying I am not surprised because Wizards is indicating new stuff will be targeting 2024 rules.

Best i can suggest is if you have some proof you can send it and hope they will facilitate it, but considering how some content is tied to only one rules set, there are obviously legal or logistical issues that could be present. For example, one of the issues with Critical Role content being in 2024 related to Matt Mercer not saying it was OK yet. The owner of this content may not have signed on for 2014. DDB may have committed to something they now cannot deliver.

oak forum
#

i didnt take a screenshot of it when i saw it as i was buying it because i was expecting it to come so i didnt think i needed to do it

#

but i clearly remember it stating "compatible with 2014 and 2024"

i just did on the site thanks for the suggestion

dapper gazelle
#

Good luck! I know how much it sucks to go in to a purchase understanding it one way and coming out with something else. I hope it works out for you. 🤞

sharp dagger
#

So everyone is noticing that D&D Beyond falsely advertised that those two books would be backwards compatible too, I pre-ordered those books under a false pretense, also, I cant even use them at all along with the gunslinger, sync my entitlements does not work, ive been doing it since yesterday and i cant use the content i payed for

dapper gazelle
#

For Gunslinger, you will need Critical Role content ticked on the Home screen of that character.

You will probably have to tick Expanded rules or Legacy rules as well as i have seen posts that some CR stuff is only set up for 2014.

You may also need 2014 rules active because it was supposedly only coded for 2014.

#

With regard to sync entitlements, i see the mods indicating it is often displaying not in sync even when successful. You apparently need to see the popup say it was successful and that is the better indicator.

sharp dagger

dapper gazelle
#

And you checked the settings in Home? Those settings can make classes disappear.

sharp dagger
#

yep, Ive done everything

#

clicked them off and on, made sure that nothing was available except those sources just to be sure, they never appear

dapper gazelle
#

I will just pass on the generic missing content suggestion in the hopes something here might help.

#

?tag ddb missing

loud sedgeBOT
#

Missing Content?

If you're missing something in the character builder, check the following things:

  • Your entitlements are synced (Account > Licenses > Account Entitlements)
  • The appropriate toggle in the character builder is on to enable the content
  • The content is being shared with you from a campaign that your character is not in

If you've confirmed these things, try clearing your cache or logging out and in again.

sharp dagger
#

ive cleared the cache, cookies, and logged in and out too, I even used a different device to be sure it wasnt just my computer causing the issue

#

also, my players, in the campaign Im in that im content sharing to, do not own the books, but are somehow able to use the content despite myself unable to, I tested out with a player that they could choose the gunslinger class, but when I try to edit the character im unable to choose the subclass of it or edit anything with the class features

dapper gazelle
#

So, as to why they can access it, if the character involved is in a campaign (the specific character) that has sharing enabled and anyone also in the campaign also in the campaign owns the book, they can use the content.

#

Editing limitations is probably because I have noticed editing restricted to the player that owns the character and the person that owns the campaign. While presumably that could be the DM, Beyond sees it as the owner of campaign, not who the players are using as DM specifically.

sharp dagger
#

Im the only one that owns the book, and im the one content sharing, I own the campaign, but, Im not able to use the content

#

everyone else is able to though

dapper gazelle
#

For me, this is type of problem as you laid it out that has always come down to something set in a way DDB is not expecting in the Home screen. Maybe try duplicating the Home settings of a character that is seeing it?

sharp dagger
#

this is the player's sheet, as you can see, the content is set to on, but Im unable to choose a subclass, as if I dont own it myself and its restricted from me, and heres proof that Im sharing the content in the campaign

Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.06.49_AM.png Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.06.04_AM.png Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.10.57_AM.png Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.11.15_AM.png
#

now, when I try to make a new character, nothing from those new books shows up

#

ive tried testing this with several new character after trying to do the sync thing, ive lost count at how many times ive pressed that button

dapper gazelle
#

I asked about Critical Role being ticked. It's not in that screenshot. Can you try ticking it in your own sheet if it is not?

sharp dagger
#

its the class, not the fighter subclass

dapper gazelle
#

I am just wondering if DDB is being dumb here.

sharp dagger
#

ive checked everything off and on, it does nothing for me, ive turned content sharing off and on too, it does nothing

dapper gazelle
#

Also, why did you send the subclass dropdown if you are looking for the class? Is something else missing?

#

2nd image.

sharp dagger
dapper gazelle
#

Got it.

sharp dagger
#

i can remove the subclass and Im sure not even the one that was selected will disapear from the choices, the same if I remove the class, but Im having that player keep that sheet so I can test how it doesnt show up

dapper gazelle
#

On the DDB dumb line of thinking, maybe try putting your character in to your campaign if not already there?

sharp dagger
#

ive done that already

#

ive tested it being in the campaign and out of the campaign

#

ive deleted, recreated characters, ect

#

its like it exists for everyone except me

#

its not just the gunslinger, the stuff from the crooked moon books I bought yesterday dont show up either

#

Im able to read the books on the site btw, and I just checked with looking at the classes from that tab up top, when I click on the class it just sends me to the page to buy the book its from

#

im confident it has something with the entitlements being broken, cus resyncing it does nothing

dapper gazelle
#

What does it say for that item when you look at the licenses table at the link here...

#

?tag ddb entitlements

loud sedgeBOT
#

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.

sharp dagger
#

this is what it says

Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.48.12_AM.png Screenshot_2025-06-18_7.47.11_AM.png
#

and yes, Ive waited til this popped up several times, even left the tab up after, still not synced

#

Stumped. You could wait on a Moderator to show up in case they have ideas, but you may be down to just contacting Customer Support by opening a ticket.

sharp dagger
#

ive bean in emails with customer support, im sure they just clicked the button like I did and didnt test it, they said they manually synced it, I told them it didnt work, now Im just waiting for another response

#

ive been seeing that this is a problem for not just me, so I know Im not alone

dapper gazelle
#

(BTW, I don't own it but much like your players, I can access it when I'm in a campaign with someone who does.)

sharp dagger
#

this has all been happening since yesterday

#

im sure its fine for you, since you dont own the book, if you dont own it, and someone is content sharing, you can use it, but I own it, my players can use it, but I cant

dapper gazelle
#

I think I am in agreement that this sounds like a bug. My apologies I was not able to help. 😦

sharp dagger
#

im just waiting for customer service to respond again, Im hoping they dont have me do everything Ive already done and I have to tell them I already tried

any notice on the thing with the crooked moon books cus im still trying to fix it on my end but nothing works

#

im not gonna bother doing the sync thing again, its a waste of time when it hasnt worked for a whole day straight for me, so the site is bugged

#

cant use stuff I paid for cus the site is bugged

oak forum
#

the gunslinger works for me its just the crooked moon that said it could be used in 2014 setting that aint working

sharp dagger
#

oh, yeah, they lied about that

#

thats callled false advertising if they said it could work that way and then change it right as the books arrive

#

its bad enough that I cant use what I paid for, then finding out later what I bought isnt even implemented as advertised

tulip mirage
#

Now obviously I could be wrong and they are just being very quiet until a fix happens but until then I am calling it what it appears to be

#

Which is a scam

sharp dagger
#

true, if you dont get what you were advertised, that is indeed a scam, D&D Beyond just scammed everyone who bought those books

tulip mirage
#

2024 works just fine

sharp dagger
#

its just a straight up scam, if it says FULLY compatible and then you change it when its available after pre-order, you paid for a false product

tulip mirage
#

Then again I shouldn't be surprised, this isn't the first d&d scam and it certainly won't be the last

#

Honestly I should be ashamed for believing in this product in the first place

Your frustrations are valid, but we and the mods can't do anything about that here.

And I will also remind y'all that we do still have rules here that need to be followed. You're allowed to be upset, but by being here you agreed to follow those rules.

To be fair, it's likely the reason they didn't have 3rd Party content on here before. I don't think it's a coincidence that as soon as they stopped offering the piecemeal purchases, 3rd Party content started appearing.

It was also probably a major issue for their backend infrastructure.

There seems to be a bit of a discrepancy between the book and the character sheet in Crooked Moon for the Sinner Rogue. The full digital book says the Jinx Weapon mimics the stats of a Pistol, but on the character sheet itself it gives specific stats that don't match the Pistol.

#

The Pistol says 1d10 damage but the character sheet says 1d8 damage.

Hey guys. Im really sorry I know this is probably a very obvious question that I cant find the answer to. I purchased the monthly DnDBeyond gold tier subscription and started a campaign and shared my content. The gold tier sub comes with the 2024 phb, mm, and DM guide correct? My players aren't able to utilize the 2024 material when creating their character sheet. Am I doing something wrong? I know I may be leaving out key details, but im almost due back from lunch so im typing quickly. I can elaborate further on any questions regarding my situation. Tysm for any and all help!

No subscription comes with content. Master Tier comes with the ability to share owned content.

Is there a way to roll custom dice on DnDBeyond maps VTT? Like roll 1d8+5

#

Also, is there any kind of chat in ddb maps?

edgy oriole
#

There isn't a shared text or voice chat on DnDBeyond Maps.
To roll generic dice, click the box icon in the lower right that brings up the game log and there is a Roll Dice area to roll some of the standard D&D dice.It won't allow you to add anything beyond rolling the dice though (no modifiers or bonuses - need to calculate that after the dice roll). So you could roll the 1d8 but you'd have to add the +5 afterwards.

Hello! When I make a character and it gets the Ability Score Improvement class feature, if I select Ability Score improvement and choose an ability score (or two) to improve, it is not applying the bonus in the Abilities tab of the character creator. In this screen shot this character selected a +2 to Charisma from the 4th level Ability Score improvement, and got a +2 to Charisma from the Background chosen, which should give the character a +4, for a total of 19 in this case.

I've tried making other characters and this problem affects any characters I make. Please advise.

So i have a question, I bought the 2014 spells and was curious whether to recieve the new updated 2024 spells. I saw i received majority of the other cantrip spells but did not get the new blade ward spell. Is this a bug or not.

image.png
dapper gazelle
#

2014 spells are generally not meant to come with their 2024 counterparts. If they are, that would likely be a bug.

Note though, some spells just did not change or changed very little so a 2024 spell might look like the 2014 version.

#

Note though that some 2024 spells are in the free rules. You would get those even without buying them.

In the context of your question, Fire Bolt is in the free rules and thus you would have it while Blade Ward is not in the free rules, so you won't.

#

ive got advantage on my insight through rune carver, however on my passives list it shows up as the base value rather than with a +5 bonus

simple lichen
#

Since Rune Knight offloads those bonuses onto items, DDBeyond probably just doesn't automatically assume that you have these items on you. You'd probably have to create a homebrew item that gives the passive.

#

Or, more likely, override the passive if you are assuming that you will always have it on you.

hey I have a silly issue, I have a player that wants to make a Bard: College of Masks from the Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass sourcebook, however it doesn't show it a playable subclass. both the player and I have the book, and both consent to them using it. any advice?

uneven lantern
#

The subclasses from that book are only supported on the 2014 classes. They’ll need to select class2014Bard, not classBard.

#

(Alternatively, you could make a homebrew copy of the 2014 subclass to see how it was set up, and then rebuild it as a 2024 subclass.)

Is it a 2014 homebrew or a 2024? and did you chose the corresponding class?

uneven lantern

☝️Check the class icon at the top of the homebrew page, then make sure you pick the same one for your character.

#

If it shows class2014Bard Bard (the 2014 one), you need to choose class2014Bard Bard. You won't see it on classBard Bard (the 2024 one).

All over the new book "Dragon Delves" are these runes written as text which get automatic detected and translated by google translater in normal letters.

My question is:
Which programm DNDB officially used to make normal letters (fonts) look like this "in text written runes" which are part of the official DND draconic language and can be auto translated by google translator ?

Screenshot_20250624_221659_YouTube.jpg
#

Official DND draconic runes/alphabet (which fit 100% the text runes above).

image0.jpg
vivid mica
uneven lantern
#

Yeah, looks like the text itself is actually written in "English", and then just displayed in a different font.

#

So Google isn't translating the glyphs; it's just spitting back the gibberish "English" letters it doesn't know how to translate.

#

In this case, it sees ||AUSSIR DARASTRIX|| and can't find a translation match, so it just gives you back your starting phrase.

viral cargo
#

Yeah. But would be nice to get the "font creator" officially used by dnd. In "Baldurs Gate Decent Into Avernus" there is also a whole page which infernal runes.

So i could use the same Font Creator as DND do for the official context without creating own runes 😄

uneven lantern
#

I don't think anyone here knows what programs they're using.

#

But you don't need to create a font. The one linked above has already been created.

This is all they did on the page, though. Standard Latin alphabet in a custom font.

modern patio
#

Does anyone know how to set a magical item thats homebrew to have it set so the one spell on it recharges every long rest? Ive tried multiple different settings but nothing seems to work 😦

uneven lantern
#

You could give the magic item a charge and have the spell consume that charge.

modern patio
#

its currently showing as having 1 charge but it wont come back when you do a long rest on the character sheet

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, official magic items recharge at dawn, not after a long rest.

#

And since the homebrew system is ultimately built to facilitate the official items…

modern patio
#

Ive tried setting it to dawn too, but once i click to use the spell it doesnt let me bring back the charge

dire blade
#

This is true of all core items as well. They don't automatically recover their charges.

#

Most use some bizarre formula to calculate charge accrual, so I think they decided not to try to have the character sheet guess at it for you.

modern patio
#

does that mean you can just never gain back charges on items?

dire blade
#

You just manually uncheck the boxes yourself accordingly.

modern patio
#

its not putting boxes on the item for me just a "1 Charge" button

dire blade
#

It should! You need to set it to have "Uses Charges" set to true and then put 1 in the "Number of Charges" field.

#

I have homebrewed multiple items that work this way.

modern patio
#

what about the settings on the actual spell itself?

#

do i leave the min-max part blank?

dire blade
#

Min and max should be 1 and 1, respectively, if you want to disallow upcasting and have it always cost 1 charge.

modern patio
#

hmmm then i have everything set up correctly, its just not working :S

dire blade
#

Items only update once every 15 minutes or so due to homebrew caching (to prevent DDOS attacking the site via the homebrew), so you may just need to check back later.

Using the Experiment Background from Crooked Moon seems to calculate unarmed strikes with double the normal modifier. I didn't see it in the thread. Is is a known issue?

  1. Make sure your browser is configured to use hardware acceleration

Goblin, as a playable race, is in Monsters of the Multiverse, you’d need to own that or have it shared with you

If it was shared with you and you find you cannot access it, this specific character has to be in a campaign where the Goblin is shared or it won't appear on the list.

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)

Why can't I choose any subclass on ddb?

is your character of the correct level to chose? (level 3 is the most common)

dapper gazelle
# quasi bay What do you mean own?

Short answer is, some of the content is paid.

DDB will only display content you have paid for or someone else did and is sharing it with this character in a campaign.

But is players handbook content free?

dapper gazelle
dapper gazelle
quasi bay
#

But if i by it, can I choose any subclass?

Or if my dm does it

The PH digital option is cheaper than the paper copy and you need the digital option specifically to use DDB, so don't order paper if you want to use it on DDB.

dapper gazelle
# quasi bay But if i by it, can I choose any subclass?

Any subclass from that book, yes.

Re: DM buying it... they have to set up a campaign so it can be shared with you but otherwise, yes, that can work.

Note: someone has to be a subscriber to allow sharing in the campaign though.

quasi bay
#

Is that free?

hybrid mantle
dapper gazelle
#

Sharing, yes, other than the one person that pays for the book, and the one person that pays for subscribing.

Some ongoing tables split the cost so one person does not eat all the costs but that is a personal arrangement unrelated to DDB.

quasi bay
dapper gazelle
#

I personally do yearly because I DM and play a decent amount so the savings help.

You should be able to free for a while. You can always sub later.

#

Note that owning books is independent. So if you buy a digital book, you do not have to subscribe to use the content you purchased.

I'm making a one-shot campaign for the first time. My friend, who's usually the DM of our group, has basically everything on beyond, and my understanding is that as soon as he's in the group, I'll be able to use all of the content he's bought for the campaign. Is that true, or is it only the other way, where the DM shares everything they have?

edgy oriole
#

If someone in the campaign has an active Master Tier subscription, the DM of the DnDBeyond campaign can toggle on content sharing and everyone in that campaign will share what books and content thay have with everyone else within that campaign. The DM can then toggle which books players will be able to read but all character options will remain usable (e.g. the players can't read the adventure books but can still add character features from that book into their character).

#

Awesome, how do I get that started? I don't see the option currently.

edgy oriole
#

Let me double check the process here

#

Okay go to your DnDBeyond campaign and at the top there are buttons to enable Content Sharing.

#

If you don't see it it either means the person with the Master Tier subscription hasn't enabled it or that they have already enabled content sharing on the maximum allowed 5 campaigns.

finite epoch
#

I see My Campaigns, Create a Campaign, Edit Campaign and Create Encounter

edgy oriole
#

Double check that they haven't enabled content sharing on 5 campaigns already.

#

Actually maybe the Mater Tier subscriber need to go to the campaign and enable content sharing there.

#

Sorry it's been a hot minute since I used this feature lol

#

Ah okay - the Master Tier subscriber needs to go to the campaign page and enable it on the campaign

Not sure this is the correct place but, I was working on the game I run weekly and noticed I have access to books and their contents that I have not bought. Is this an over site by DDB? I do have the Master Tier subscription if that has anything to do with it.

edgy oriole
#

If you or someone in your campaign has an active master tier subscription, they can enable content sharing on up to 5 campaigns.

This means everyone in that campaign can access content that everyone else has.

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.

Part of your problem may be that you have a wrong word. Your player is probably looking for, Giant Foundling. It looks like it was originally a UA background.

It is available through Homebrew. To access Homebrew, one needs to:

  1. Have a Subscription to DDB (either level)
  2. Find the background and add it to your Homebrew Collection.
  3. Activate Homebrew on the specific character in the Home tab.
    It should be accessible at that point.

Double check that all the address fields are filled in. There's been issues where folks from Canada filling it in missed the province field. That would prevent payment from being made.

This is the only 2014 feat visible in the feats tab of my character sheet. Is this because I chose the ability score increase option at level 4? My character is a 2014 draconic sorcerer. I’m not looking to add feats, rather I just want to make sure my sheet is functioning as it should.

Unless you own books with other feats on DnDBeyond (or that character is in a campaign in DnDBeyond with content sharing enabled) you would only have the free/SRD Grappler feat available.

Hey I’m trying to use Magic Initiate (legacy) and am specifically selecting the legacy options for spells and it just goes straight to the 2024 option. Does anyone know how to fix this or is it just broken

lofty holly

#

Based on Spamandtuna reply, I think they are saying you only have access to the basic rules for 2014. Did you buy the 2014 PH? Without it, the other feats might not show. If you did, check your entitlements. See below.

#

?tag ddb entitlements

loud sedgeBOT
#

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.

lofty holly
dapper gazelle
#

That would be why you cannot see more feats. The 2014 basic rules only comes with the one feat you can see.

lofty holly
#

I see. One more thing, there are a bunch of 2024 feats available that I see. Are there more feats available in the 2024 free rules?

dapper gazelle
#

Roughly how many 2024 feats do you see?

lofty holly
#

Just a sec, I’ll take a screenshot

#

Upon inspection there are feats labeled for cleric, wizard, etc. What’s going on?

dapper gazelle
#

(Things like Boons require 19th level and the Fighting Styles require access to Fighting Style feature.)

#

Not sure why Elemental Adept is showing though... might be an error.

can you try making the character higher level and see if others appear? Maybe for 2024 they made all PH ones Free?! For example, Shield Master should appear if they all are free.

#

The Cleric / Druid / Wizard you are seeing is because Magic Initiate gets you spells from other classes. That is indicating what class spell list you can choose those spells from. So MI: Wizard would allow you to choose Wizard spells.

lofty holly
#

Made my character level 7 and this is what I see

IMG_5167.png
dapper gazelle
#

Yeah, then you are definitely restricted to Basic Rules. In 2024, there are a whole bunch that would appear at level 4. There are at least a dozen (more i am sure) that would pop in. If I remember correctly, 2024 PH has something like 80 some odd feats including boons and fighting styles.

#

Just did a quick count and got an imprecise 77. Suffice it to say, a lot more.

lofty holly
#

I will say elemental adept being there when it shouldn’t worries me somewhat. Could that hint at something being wrong with my sheet?

dapper gazelle
#

Not likely. They may just have goofed and gave it free. Some things creep in because they have technical issues and it is easier to just allow something.

For example, until recently (or so i am told), 2014 players were getting the monk die size for their unarmed strikes that was the higher one used in 2024. I think they said they figured it out but until they did/do people were seeing something different than they should.

#

(Note, i don't work for Wizards. I just pay attention and try to help. User like you here!:))

lofty holly
#

Gotcha. Thanks for your help!

dapper gazelle

If you know someone that does own the books, they can share them with you and the character in their campaign can access their stuff. I can send sharing details if you need it as the bot has a blurb on that.

Does beyond take a second to process that you're master tier? I signed up for the free trial to get access to maps but when I try to go to maps in my campaign it just tells me to subscribe to master tier

Hello quick question I have made another character on ddb on my rouge character as I leveled up the hp automatically went up. I am creating a new character for a quick add in to the campaign so this character needs to be a level 3 and the hp is staying at 12....how do I fix this?

edgy oriole
#

First check your character settings - when you first set the character up you need to pick whether you take the average or whether you roll HP on level up. If you've picked rolling HP on level up, you'll need to roll a die of the hit dice type (e.g. as a rogue you'd use a d8 dice). At each level up you'd roll a d8 and then add it to your hit points. Go to the Edit Character screen and in the Class section, click the Manage HP and add up your rolled HP and add it to the total.

#

If you've taken average, DnDBeyond will automatically add the average to your HP on level up.

Hello, I'm having trouble where a lot of 2024 options aren't available on a character sheet in dndbeyond. I think it's related to dndbeyond not showing the players handbook (2024) as being in my library. I'm able to view it, and don't have an option to buy it.

Sounds like the book is being shared with you, in which case your character would need to be assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it in order to use those options.

hello I'm new in Discord where and how can I find a group

dapper gazelle
#

This sounds more like a rules question. I believe that item might be homebrew or 3rd party and thus the best place to ask is either #homebrew or #third-party or if it is official, you could try #dnd-rules .

However, from a DDB perspective, the easiest way to find out how D&D Beyond handles it would be to add the item to a character and see if a support issue is needed. (As support of DDB is what we do in this channel)

In the absence of other rules though, I am pretty sure the correct implementation based on what you sent is putting on the Feathered Robe just fixes your INT & CHA to 22. Manual always affects base score which the 22 is not so the total should not be 24.

trying to create a homebrew subclass but it's telling me something is mapped that is either private homebrew or licensed. what's the easiest way to find it because I'm searching and searching and not finding it

uneven lantern

That’s typically caused either by spells that aren’t in the Basic Rules, or by including links.

#

You can try hitting the main save button to re-trigger the validator, though.

#

If your homebrew really doesn’t have any such issues, that should clear the error. If not, you’ve still got something to correct.

#

And it’s worth noting that those errors only apply if you’re trying to publish this for the global community (after it’s finished and playtested and ready to live in its current state forever).

#

Otherwise you can already use it in your campaigns as-is, with whatever spells you like. You can just ignore those errors entirely.

So, in the book, I selected the Arcane Trickster subclass, and set those features with my DM, but when I went into DDB to log those features, the only subclass available was Thief. Can anyone offer some guidance on getting the Arcane Trickster subclass using the 2014 Core Rules?

Hey there folks. I'm having a frustrating experience with dndbeyond. Some content I purchased - the PHB - doesn't show up on the web site (though it does in the android app).

Oh. I found the issue. I must have an IQ of 70. It was the wrong version (2024 vs 2014). So I'm good.

However, the fact that support is unreachable might be an issue for others

#

In my defence, the books have the exact same title and it's been years 🤕

dapper gazelle
#

The trick to see the difference is to go to Sources and then click on View All Sources. You'll notice that the 2014 Players's Handbook has a (2014) after it. This carries through even when you are viewing the 2014 book. The 2024 book has nothing after the word Handbook. This (2014) notation carries through in to Game Rules and any Searches that you do as well, i.e., the 2014 versions tack on (2014) at the end of what it is displaying.

The other way to tell the difference is memorizing the picture, but I'm not so big on that one. I personally get it wrong depending on the picture.

Missing Content?

If you can’t find an available character option, here’s some important things to check:

  1. Are your Account Entitlements in sync? If not, you’ll see a button to let you manually trigger a sync.
  2. Did you purchase the book yourself, or is it shared with you through one of your campaigns?
  • If you purchased it, is it listed under Current Product Licenses?
  • If it’s shared with you, is this character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?
  1. Do you have the right checkboxes enabled in your character settings? The checkboxes at the top under “Sources” and “Partnered Content” control which options are available for your character. If in doubt, check them all.
  • Are you using the right class? There are two versions of each core class, and options available for one might not be available for the other. For example, some classCleric Cleric options might not be available for class2014Cleric Cleric (and vice versa).

I'm assuming the share is working, i.e., outside of the character creater can you see the details of the class? (if you cannot, the problem might be the share and we have something different to look at)

How do I change features from 2024 to 2014 rules?

uneven lantern
#

Generally by unselecting the 2024 feature and then selecting the 2014 one instead.

#

But what feature specifically?

crude pier
#

Hey there, it seems there is an error in one of the spells in the Monsters of Drakkenheim, Caustic Grip’s Action Time is an Action with a Duration of 1 Minute, but in DDB it is listed as Casting time of 1 Minute with Duration of 1 Minute.

It should be an easy fix? Or is this something I should point out in another channel?

Note that changing your selected rules set does not automatically update the character. You have to remove the 2024 stuff manually and then add the 2014 stuff if you have already added 2024 items.

I don't think there is a way to edit them, but you could use homebrew to create a copy. There is a much easier fix though.

Those are class features you are seeing.

You need to go in to the character creator and remove all levels in the Core Rules Paladin class (which is a 2024 version) and instead scroll down and add the 2014 Core Rules Paladin class.

There is no way to change to 2014 features fully if your base class is a 2024 version.

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, you selected classPaladin Paladin, which is the 2024 class. You’ll need to remove it and add class2014Paladin Paladin (under 2014 Core Rules) instead.

#

You can go to your character settings and turn off “Core Rules” if you don’t want it to let you select any 2024 character options.

Ah, yeah. If it was fixed on the site, though, then it should be fixed in the next book update for the app as well.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but for the past week or so I haven't been able to create a homebrew monster. It keeps taking me to a Beholder error page and I just want to make sure anybody who would be able to fix it knows so it can be fixed

There's still an internal server error TTuTT

I made a creature from scratch, filled out all the necessary fields, but I still can't

#

edgy oriole
#

Don't forget you don't have to publish the homebrew to be able to use it (in fact we strongly recommend not publishing until you have thoroughly playtested it as once published, we can't delete it because other folks might be using it).

polar stag
#

I haven't published anything, just kept them in my own personal library

#

So weird...

edgy oriole
#

That is very weird

polar stag
#

I brought it up with my party and some of the ones who used it along with my DM agreed that it's been a bit dumb lately, so I'm not sure if it's just a me problem (though I'd begrudgingly accept it if so 🫠)

edgy oriole
#

I know the devs are consistently making updates so it is possible something has caused some instability somewhere but I'm not able to recreate the issue on my end.
Have you tried using a different browser to see if it might be a specific browser issue?

I attempted to buy a friend a pre-order for the new Ebberon book as a gift, but they said when they tried to use it that the store said the product was already purchased.

#

Is there an issue with buying pre-orders as gifts, or buying gifts of products you already have? I don't think I could use the code if I wanted to because I already have it pre-ordered myself.

#

I admit to some confusion on how the gifting system works in the newer store.

Hi! I'm aware this question might've been asked a lot of times, but I can't find an answer :/ Do you know whether there is a possibility to enable taking the Pact of the Blade invocation via the Eldritch Adept feat? I tried to cook some homebrew feat or smth, but it just seems not to work 😦 I'll appreciate all the help I can get!

maiden swift
#

2014 Pact of the Blade isn't an invocation, and while it's an invocation in 2024 a book with Eldritch Adept in it hasn't been released for that system yet so I think they just haven't added that functionality yet.

#

I hope it does eventually though, if it works like it seems it should you could add a bit of spice to Bards and make Hexadins that don't need to dip.

If i understand correctly, this is a problem i have run in to. If the other person already has access through a share, it isn't obvious how to purchase because clicking on the book just takes you to the book instead of to purchase.

If this is the problem, the solution is to rout through the store using DDB marketplace from the menu. For your convenience, I will include a link to TCE in the store:
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/tashas-cauldron-of-everything?pid=SRC-00067&Digital%2FPhysical=Digital
The link is to the Digital only version but if your DM uses this link they can pick a different version if desired.

This is what my Android app shows for Fighter subclasses. Note the singles.

If i were guessing... It is possible it is duplicated so it will work on both 2014 and 2024 characters. Not all subclasses work on both.

I would suggest one but I love both and own both. Along with Monsters of the Multiverse, the 3 are some of the most useful books for players to add that are not the 3 core books (Players Handbook, Dungeon Master Guide, Monster Manual).

Note that the 2024 PH and Monsters of the Multiverse updated or replaced some stuff in those 2 books. Your DM may or may not allow the older versions.

lethal timber
uneven lantern

Yeah, the ones with “(XGtE)” are for use on the 2024 classes.

The ones without are for the 2014 classes.

You’d need the 2024 PHB and its updated version of that subclass to use it on the 2024 class.

dapper gazelle
#

I really like XGE as a DM but TCE is better for players. Optional Class Features from TCE are a great player addition in 2014 games. If you are running 2024 though, some of them are now built in to the base class. TCE also gives you the Artificer, which at least until the Eberron book comes out is the only place to get an Artificer to play.

This is the only channel I feel like would be the best to ask. I've asked this question a few months ago and I didn't really get an answer that I was looking for.

I haven't touched the website in about a few months as well.

I don’t believe such a roadmap exists, but the desire for that capability is definitely known by the devs. Who can say if it’s prioritized at all, though, and if so what that priority is.

In the DDB encounter builder, is it possible to add labels to NPC/monsters? e.g. I have 5 orcs in the encounter, around my table I use coloured bases under each one so that its easy to ID which Orc the group is targetting, but I need to assign a label to each orc in the encounter builder and I can't figure out if this is possible.
I know there are other initiative tracker apps that do this, but it would be nice not to have to pay a second sub plus they only support SRD monsters.

I’m trying to make a feature in the homebrew subclass maker that gives a character proficiency in intimidation if they don’t have it, and expertise if they do, but I’m struggling. Does anyone know how to do this?

dapper gazelle
#

With no established precedent of the rules working that way that I am aware of, the designers may not have built that directly.

I think the closest you can get is to just grant a flat bonus to Intimidation checks equal to Profciency.

The alternative is probably following the model of the feat Prodigy and grant two Modifiers, one giving Proficiency and one giving Expertise and just ask users to follow your RAW that only one should be selected.

I realize neither may be satisfactory, but established precedent in the rules tends to be what DDB has designed for and even then, they skipped implementing some things.

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.

Alternatively, they may have selected the wrong class version.

Has anyone had an issue with Oath of the Crown - 2024 version - not having their oath spells always prepared? I checked and they are always prepared on 2014, and supposed to be always prepared on 2024, but theyre just not loading in that way on my players sheet.

dapper gazelle
odd scarab
#

I can't upload pics here but in the description of Oath spells in both the 2024 and the 2014 version, after choosing oath of the crown it states that the spells are always prepared.

However, it only has them prepared on the sheet when I make the character a 2014 oath of the crown.

Oath of the crown 2024 has the same path spell wording but they are not showing up as prepared.

dapper gazelle
#

2014 wording had it built in to the L3 class features so Crown is also correct to be doing it for 2014:

Once you gain access to an oath spell, you always have it prepared.

odd scarab
#

Correct. It says the same for 2024 under oath spells in the character builder though but it doesn't proc them as prepared on the sheet.

dapper gazelle
#

It does not. It says it in each specific oath, not generally.

So, each of the 4 in 2024 are always prepared.
