[ionic lion]

but ill go back

[dire blade]

You have a mix of questions, some about DDB and some about the game itself. Questions about DDB belong here. Questions about how to play the game belong there.

[ionic lion]

ok

[dense viper]

For starters this doesnt sound like it is within the scope of this channel. You may want to ask in #dm-discussion for tips for Beginner Dms

Check #find-a-game for how to post and potentially get people involved with your campaign.

[ionic lion]

ok thansks i appreciate it

[slim void]

In Beyond, Ritual Caster and Rune Shaper do not work properly

Is this already known, and what's the best way to handle it? Homebrew?

[toxic jackal]

im sorry, I tried reading up on this page to catch up to the discussion regarding the digital bundle questions, but I am still not sure, how did you get this pricing? does this show up only if you have already bought one of the two books that are in this bundle separately?

[loud drift]

DnD Beyond used to have a gigantic bundle called the Legendary Bundle that included all of the 1st party books available at that time with a slight discount for future 1st party releases.

[lusty void]

Does DDB track initiative for players in a campaign if I am the DM?

[dense viper]

It does if you use the combat tracker in the Maps tool or the encounter builder located at this url (https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-encounters)

[zenith ferry]

So on DnD beyond I've noticed it for a while but the mutagen blood hunter has some weird error thing I think. It says I should be at +4 at lvl 11 for my dex mutagen etc but it is still showing +3 and when I hover over the +3 it shows this: (((characterlevel-4)/7)@rounddown+2)#max:5,min:3, signed

[uneven lantern]

If you’re referring to Ritual Caster not adding its spells to the sheet, and Rune Shaper not letting you choose the 2024 spells, then yeah, those are known issues.

And yeah, homebrew is your best option for a workaround.

[lofty holly]

If I were to make a change in the "customization" drop down menu in a spell's tab, would there be a button I could click if I wanted to revert it to its default settings?

[dense viper]

After you add changes the button at the bottom of the customize menu changes to "Remove Customizations". Which you then have to double click

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, looks like a bug. I’ll let the devs know.

[wheat widget]

I have a question, how do I use the new arcane subclasses? Do I need to create/use a homebrew of them because I can't seem to find them on character creation

[uneven lantern]

• The three Forgotten Realms expansions will be $14.99 each. The dice set and map pack will be $5.99 each.
• The Ultimate Bundle provides a $76 discount. The Digital Bundle is simply there as a convenience option (i.e. so you can buy it all with a single click, but it doesn't provide a discount of its own).
• The Digital Bundle now correctly accounts for Legendary Bundle discounts.
• The BG3 map pack will be usable only in Maps VTT. There won't be a download option. (Any maps in the books themselves can be saved and used elsewhere.)
• Pre-order availability is still pending on dndstore.wizards.com
  @viral cargo@remote sinew@dire blade@loud drift@somber crest@whole ledge@loud drift@spark cove@vivid flicker@hollow marten @mental chasm @thick bay

[somber crest]

Thanks for working to get this clarification!

[remote sinew]

ty, my group have decided just to get the heroes of faerun for now but big ty for getting the clarification

[dire blade]

So that’s…. 30+40+45=$115 in total for all digital content, right?

[uneven lantern]

The digital bundle also include the dice set and map pack, for another $12.

But if you just mean the books and expansions, then yeah.

[loud drift]

you rock, bud

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, UA options aren't supported in DDB character sheets. You'd need to create it as a homebrew subclass to use it in DDB.

[loud drift]

and remember to not publish them, you and anyone in your campaign can use them without publishing

[dire blade]

Makes sense. So bundle if you also want the grab bag of other stuff? Individual otherwise. Thanks!

[wheat widget]

ok thank you!

[verbal creek]

$15 for the expansions? Probably a bit much, but thanks for the information.

[slim void]

Rune Shaper say, that you learn the spell and can use it with spell slots and 1x use it for free. Numbers of runes was half P. Bonus=1x. I get in Beyond 3 runes and I don't see them in the spell area. Ritual caster i normally get 2 LV 1 spells. In Beyond again 3

I should probably mention that I added the feat to the character sheet later. According to the Spelljammer errata, various backgrounds that previously didn't have a feat will now receive one.Our game master has simply expanded the possibilities. So not only Tough, Skilled and Magic Initiate.

[lofty holly]

Just to make sure: racial spells (ie, an EEPC Fire Genasi's produce flame and burning hands) are not supposed to appear in the "manage spells" tab, but do appear in the spells list of the sheet?

[random turtle]

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/BB-ForgottenRealms-25/DB4GTNRLM?icid_medium=organic&icid_source=homepage_a&icid_campaign=2025faerun&icid_content=2025_hype

Why would I bother to buy this bundle when it's cheaper, like a lot, to buy them seperately?

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

That bundle also includes the three digital expansions, the dice set, and the map pack.

Everything you’d get in the Ultimate Bundle except the physical books.

[random turtle]

I'm sure if you read it, it comes with those as the singular purchase as a pre-order

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/BB-ForgottenRealms-25/D4714000?icid_medium=organic&icid_source=homepage_a&icid_campaign=2025faerun&icid_content=2025_hype&pid=DB4714000&Digital%2FPhysical=Digital

Yeah I think I'm wrong

Still though

Hasbro be creating that fomo for real..

[uneven lantern]

Nah, they’re included in the Ultimate or Digital Bundles, or they can be purchased separately later.

Preorders come with the Forgotten Realms: Dallabad Oasis Animated Map for Maps VTT.

[random turtle]

Shame I just use foundry then hey

[fading bramble]

-# iirc, you can port DDB sheets to Foundry

[random turtle]

Yeah there's ways

[random turtle]

I take it they'll be adding this bundle to the wizards store for UK purchase tomorrow then?

[uneven lantern]

They will be adding it. I don’t know exactly when.

[random turtle]

Also sorry for the 900 questions, but it says "Save $76", $99.98 + $79.98 then charging $159.99 isn't a saving of $76

[uneven lantern]

The Ultimate Bundle also includes the three expansions, the dice set, and the map pack.

Which is another $56.95 worth of content.

[random turtle]

Nice, well it's a shame it's not all available as digital only

With all the extras

[uneven lantern]

It is

The Digital Bundle includes all those as well.

[random turtle]

The digital only one - Pre-order now to receive the exclusive Forgotten Realms: Dallabad Oasis Animated Map for Maps VTT!​

That's all it says

[uneven lantern]

Or they’ll all be available for purchase separately.

[random turtle]

Yeah probably

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I know. They’ll be updating the description soon.

[random turtle]

Oke doke, I'll check again very soon, I like the physical books, but I can't justify the extra expense if they're just going to sit on the shelf and not be read

I just don't want to miss out on stuff

[paper rampart]

is there a good way of printing out a full chapter of an adventure in a format similar to the physical books if I got the digital version?

[verbal creek]

Because it has additional things.

[hybrid nova]

The only way to print the adventure from Beyond is to just open up the source and hit print when you're on the page for whatever chapter you want. The layout will be similar but not identical to the physical book. It'd be optimized for a web view, but that's the best you're going to get.

[paper rampart]

I was worried that’s the case, I’m using my phone to look at it right now and it’s not great, but hopefully if I print it using a PC, it would come out more readable

thanks

[hybrid nova]

It most likely will simply due to the larger screen real-estate.

[heavy nest]

Will the Forgotten Realms books have an early release date with the subscription tier levels?

Nevermind, I just read the article that just released, Master Tier subscribers get access on October 28, two weeks early, while Hero Tier subscribers can begin adventuring one week before launch, on November 4.

[hybrid nova]

For the record, I don't think you'll need to ask that question for any official releases for the forseeable future. Seems to be standard practice, 1 week earlier per sub tier.

[heavy nest]

I am pretty sure the 2 starter sets do not have an early release, I wasn't sure if that was limited to them or if it was a change that would happen with all books going forward.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the two starter sets do not have early access, but early access is still the general policy.

[reef finch]

is there anywhere that actually lists the species/subclasses/spells in the Forgotten Realms books?

[woeful wadi]

So does the digital forgotten bundle come with everything the ultimate bundle does(exept the physical books)

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

Not yet

The only confirmed subclasses AFAIK are Bladesinger Wizards, Scion of the Three Rogues, and Banneret Fighters.

[reef finch]

oh, seems weird to do preorders without disclosing the content being preordered

ty

[uneven lantern]

They’re working on getting the store page updated.

In the meantime, this article shows the bundle contents:

very helpful ty

[upbeat verge]

Hello, I was just in session, and a player noticed a spell had disappeared from her list of prepared spells. Upon checking it from my account as the DM, we noticed it doesn't appear in the list of available spells either, even though I have the shared materials and the necessary books. The spell in question is called "summon aberration," and her character is a level 15 Aberrant Mind Sorcerer.

[uneven lantern]

Is “Core Rules” still enabled for that character?

[upbeat verge]

yep

[dire blade]

Aberrant Mind sorcerers automatically learn Summon Aberration at level 7, so it can't be added a second time (and therefore wouldn't show in the "Add Spells" list). If you look at their spell list, it should be there.

Hrm, actually, you're on the 2014 Sorcerer I just noticed.

They get it as well, actually, so what I said above should be correct as long as 2014 Core Rules is enabled, and it is.

This also assumes someone is sharing / owns TCoE in the campaign still and it wasn't being shared by someone who left or whatnot.

[upbeat verge]

I share the material, and I checked that everything is still shared and there is no problem with it.

[lime thorn]

How do I get a dnd beyond homebrew armor to add a straight +4 DEX bonus?

I've tried a bunch of different modifiers that sound like they would add DEX bonus but none of them actually seem to work.

[dire blade]

Try removing the subclass and readding it would be my suggestion.

[lime thorn]

Stacking Bonus - Dexterity Score might have finally done the trick

[brisk bridge]

I'm still seeing an Internal Server Error everytime I try to create a homebrew monster. It now occurs regardless of whether I use Chrome, Firefox or Edge. When I try to save, I see the attached error in the browser console.

Since I found some earlier posts on this server over the past couple of months also running into issues with Internal Server Errors when trying to create homebrew monsters specifically using the 2024 version I'll highlight that I, too, have been using the 2024 template.

This hasn't been a problem for me most of the time... only the last several days.

I just tried with the 2014 template, and I still got the Internal Server Error, so it seems like it's just a problem with D&D Beyond.

I was able to create a homebrew spell just now, so at least it's not all homebrew...

I was able to create a homebrew monster using an existing monster as a starting point. It seems I'm just unable to create a homebrew monster from scratch. 🤔

[honest eagle]

Hi, I'm on the EU store (Netherlands). I assume the Forgotten Realms pre-order will be added there after the weekend? I can't find it there (yet). Thanks!

[loud drift]

It has been confirmed to be coming soon, but we currently have not received an ETA

[native bolt]

Is anyone else having problems with the purchase payment problem Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle ?

[true belfry]

Hello again 👋🏻, quick question on digital pre order. Is there an advantage to get a digital preorder? I don’t see price reduction or add-on. I only see those on bundle. Does this mean the price will go up upon release? I am missing something or would it just make more sense to wait it is release and see reviews before buying if there is no en entice to buy it in advance.

Those questions mostly apply to the two next starter set (borderland and the stranger thing box)

Thanks all

[loud drift]

Those prices are not likely to go up, the only advantage to the digital preorder is that it's cheaper than the physical item which saves people money who aren't concerned with owning the physical items nor the extras that come with the physical + digital bundle.

[true belfry]

So I could just wait it is release then, pre-ordering it do not do anything? Just wondering

[loud drift]

It is perfectly safe to do so

[true belfry]

Not seeing the discount on my end, even after it is added to cart, or on the checkout page

[lusty void]

Do we have an image of what the digital dice set will look like with the bundle?

[loud drift]

Not yet.

[loud drift]

try this link, if you still don't see it then try a different browser or clearing your cache

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/BB-ForgottenRealms-25/DB4GTNRLM

there seems to be a weird issue with following links to the bundle, on the DDB website click the ad for that takes you to the Ultimate Bundle and then just under the desciption will be a link to the digital bundle which should auto apply any applicable discount.

[halcyon plover]

Trying to use the search bar while on a char sheet keeps trying to to open profile instead of on mobile

[true belfry]

So I did clear my cache, tried incognito and tried clicking on the homepage ad to the ultimate bundle, scrolled down to the digital bundle but still seeing the same price at 126$.

Tested on multiple devices.

I am the only one who’s having that issue?

[dire blade]

I was able to benefit from the legendary bundle discount, but I had to avoid all direct links, go to the marketplace from the main page, go to the scrolling top bar link to the FR purchases, go to the ultimate bundle, scroll down, and go to the digital bundle. As was noted above, how you reach the digital bundle matters right now (it is a confirmed bug).

If nothing lets you get it, you can open a customer support ticket for it.

[true belfry]

I will thank you

[vivid flicker]

silly question.. but why is Sage Advice under partnered content?

[uneven lantern]

Dunno, but it’s been passed along to the devs already.

[dapper gazelle]

I guess there could be a small possibility that as who I believe was Sage Advice's original authour is no longer within WotC, they might now be a partner, but yeah, that would pose a problem for future updates unless they will still be handling Sage Advice going forward.

It does seem it does need to be looked at though.

[dire blade]

Sage Advice is literally presented as official rules clarifications, though, so it can’t be partnered.

[heavy nest]

The only pre-order benefit I see is this:
Pre-order the digital or digital + physical version now to receive the exclusive Forgotten Realms: Dallabad Oasis Animated Map for Maps VTT!​

[terse ingot]

My DM and I had this idea for a character - Hexblade warlock that uses a vampiric greatsword, where instead of typical 2d6, the weapon would deal 1d8 slashing + 1d4 necrotic damage

I tried to create this weapon in Homebrew section but it shows up on my sheet as 2d6, so my question is - is it possible to create a weapon like that?

[fading bramble]

i would suggest using a longsword instead

Greatswords deal 2d6 damage, and DDB doenst let you change the base damage dice of items

[timid talon]

is it possible to instead of the 1d6+6 i can make it a 1d6+ 2d6 ligting dmg?

[dire blade]

No but you could make a custom action that is 3d6+6 and make a note about the damage type.

[dapper gazelle]

One would think. I was more speculating on what someone might have been thinking. It does seem like a no brainer that it should not truly be classified as "Partnered Content".

[fringe grove]

Any idea why dnd beyond allows you to pre order the nee forgotten realms books but you can't pre order the physical copies for the UK. Even on the UK dnd store site.

[dapper gazelle]

Have you tried dndstore.wizards.com? When someone was concerned about shipping to Poland, this was suggested to them by a support person.

See message if interested in original thread. #ddb-support message

[fringe grove]

It doesn't appear at all on dndstore

[dapper gazelle]

Damn. K. Hopefully one of the Wizards folks has an answer.

I do know my FLGS in Canada is also being told pre-orders are not possible for them for the FR book yet. Not sure how widespread that is.

[fringe grove]

Strange its only on dnd beyond

[heavy nest]

Yesterday Spam said it is coming soon to the dndstore.

[sage compass]

betting soon wont be this weekend 😭

[fading bramble]

-# i mean... you still have November til the book

[sage compass]

I know but I have the funds now and worry something will come up lol

[stable prairie]

Idk where else to ask this but im new what's the difference between theses to things on my character sheet?

[fading bramble]

Your score is how you get your modifier. Your modifier is what you add to rolls using that stat

[stable prairie]

Oh thank you so much!

there was a spammer a while ago. Their comment got deleted

[stable prairie]

Oh ok thanks👍

[slim blade]

Ty.

When making a charater, should I make art for them?

[uneven lantern]

That’s up to you.

Again, though, questions about the game itself are better asked in #dnd-newcomers. This channel is for getting help with the website D&D Beyond.

[random turtle]

I see the D&D Beyond website Digital Bundle got updated which is nice, do we know if at all that ultimate bundle is gonna be available for the UK wizards site?

[uneven lantern]

It will be, but we haven’t heard the exact date yet.

Probably not here during the weekend, though.

[random turtle]

It's not like it's going to be any danger of running out I know haha

[finite epoch]

The bracers of the Iron Octopus seem to be broken. When you attune to them they boost all of your skill checks and saving throws by 5.

[uneven lantern]

I’ve let the devs know. Thanks!

[finite epoch]

No prob, I appreciate it

[opaque wedge]

Hey guys, I'm an idiot.. I just purchased the Player's Handbook in the app thinking it would also supply me with a physical copy. Is there anyway to "return" this purchase, and I'll purchase the Digital & Physical Core Rulebook Bundle?

TIA!

[boreal sun]

Hello, I know I can buy a particular product as a gift. Is there any way to send a gift card so my nephew can pick what he wants?

[uneven lantern]

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

[dawn ice]

Does anyone know how to make a homebrew backgrounds work on dnd beyond

[dapper gazelle]

Did you have a specific question? Trying to explain all of creating a background would get very "floody" and has limited relevance to other users of the channel.

[dense viper]

I would suggest making a copy of an existing background so you can get an idea of how its done.

Steal its secrets and make them your own.

[dawn ice]

I have a background that has sub options with it I just don't know how to get it's features and abilities to work when I try to copy it over to dnd beyond

[dapper gazelle]

That's it though... the suggestion is to pick a similar background, make a copy and then modify it to match what you have on paper.

Specifically, D&D Beyond when you start a new background has an option to start with a copy of an existing one. That is what we are referring to when we say copy.

[dawn ice]

I'll check to see if I can get it to work

How would I get it to add +3 to passive perception

Is it ok if I send what it looks like here

[dapper gazelle]

I am sure there are other ways to do it but first create a homebrew feat with the modifier set up like this. (See below)

Then, back in your background, pick granted feats and grant this feat as part of the background.

Should work.

[dense viper]

It would be just like that but with the modifier made in the background.

It should allow for that without having to make a feat to go with it

[dapper gazelle]

I didn't see a modifier but I did look quickly and may have missed it in the BG screen.

[dense viper]

There is also a possibility that I am remembering wrong

[dawn ice]

I'll try that later and thank you

[prime quiver]

Hey silly question sorry. If someone shared the PHB 2024 with me, that means that all of the new race and class options are available to me when I make a new/modify a character?

There is no need to own the digital book myself to fully use it in the character creator, yes?

[fading bramble]

while within the campaign only

[prime quiver]

Ah yes so it ONLY works on that character. Got it thank you

Sorry been a minute since I’ve done D&D. Started up again and saw it was shared by the DM

[shell wing]

Why is that we can't homebrew Containers? Or make custom items that act as Containers?

Even making a copy of a Bag of Holding it acts as an item, and not a container.

[uneven lantern]

Dunno, but you can add an existing container and then customize it as needed.

[dapper gazelle]

Note also there's a requirement to own the book for monsters in Maps.

[dawn ice]

this what has to be add now how would i go about it

Savage Born :
The Savage Born are those born to the wandering beastfolk tribes that descend from carnivores or omnivores that are more aggressive. These folk have an innate ability to hinder and injure their foes and fight in packs
You gain a +2 bonus to either Dexterity or Strength
You gain pack tactics(If you already have pack tactics you gain a +2 bonus to your attack roles benefiting from pack tactics)
Weapon attacks you make benefiting from pack tactics deal 1 bleed damage that stacks to a maximum of 5 times
Docile Born:
The Docile Born are those born to the wandering beastfolk tribes that descend from herbivores or omnivores that are normally not overtly aggressive. These folk tend to be sturdier than most with very durable bodies.You gain a +2 bonus to Constitution
All instances of Physical damage you take are reduced by 2 and you gain a +1 bonus to your armor class
You gain a +4 bonus to saving throws made to avoid Exhaustion and you treat exhaustion as one level less effective.(No negative effects from 1 level of exhastion etc...)

Monster Hunter:
Few venture into the Beast Lands but there are few bands of people that frequent it in order to hunt great beasts and they have become experts at their proffession
You gain a +2 bonus to either Strength or Dexterity
When you make an attack against a creature at least one size larger than you and you are within 5ft of them you can choose to mount them as part of the attack This is your choice of either an Acrobatics or Athletics check vs. their Acrobatics or Athletics check.
When you make an attack against a creature you have mounted you gain a +2 bonus to the attack roll and deal an additional damage dice.
Your ranged attacks do not have disadvantage against a creature you've mounted and the mounted creature has disadvantage on attack roles against you
Beast Raised:
For whatever reason you were raised by one of the powerful primal beasts that inhabit the Beast Lands and because of it you have a strong connection with beasts and the natural world.
You gain a +2 bonus to Wisdom
You gain the ability to speak to and understand any beast
Your movement speed is increased by 10ft
You gain 1 additional hitpoint every time you level

[uneven lantern]

That’s venturing pretty far from how backgrounds typically work in D&D, so you might hit some roadblocks.

But creating a homebrew feat that’s granted by the background could give you some added flexibility here.

[dawn ice]

im wondering how to go about making each of the four as a feat and make them as options to select

because as you see with savage born has the pack tactics

[dawn ice]

do you know how to get it to work?

[dawn ice]

I tried but failed i got a few things to work but the movement increased failed

[patent coral]

I'm running into an issue and I'm not sure if its a bug or just my misunderstanding how things work. Spells that are granted by a Feat are not applying the +1 bonus from an Arcane Grimoire +1.

For instance if I add Fire Bolt to my spell book, then take the feat "Arcane Initiate (Wizard)" and select Fire Bolt (this is an example, I know there is no need to have this cantrip twice) then only 1 instance of Fire Bolt is receiving the +1 to Hit/DC from the Grimoire +1.

[rose shell]

That's because you only learned one instance of it as a wizard. If you read the effect of the grimoire you will find that it states something like "+1 to your wizard spells.
Spells granted by species or feats are not connected to any class.
Yes, even though it's the wizard magic initiate.

[patent coral]

Oooooh i think i understand. So if i make a magic item that is just +1 spells then that should work?

[rose shell]

Mechanically speaking, a homebrew item with "Bonus - Spell Save DC" and "Bonus - Spell Attacks" would grant you those bonuses.
Question is - I assume you are a player - if your DM gave you a arcane grimoire +1 on purpose or if they are fine with your item. But that's something you have to discuss with your DM.

[patent coral]

I'm a DM, I just felt it was a little easier to explain from a player's perspective. Or maybe just easier to organize my thoughts from a player's perspective. Thanks for all the advice! I tested this out a moment ago and can confirm that it works exactly as you have outlined. I have to admit though it does seam strange that a feat granting you wizard spells wouldn't work with bonuses to wizard spell save dc and wizard spell attacks. Bug? Or do you think you would override this behavior at your table?

[uneven lantern]

The system doesn't currently have a way to associate spells to a specific class unless those come from the class itself.

So not technically a bug, since it's working as expected, but a feature request instead.

[patent coral]

Ah I see, thank you for that info! Our group is having loads of fun 🙂

[north junco]

I just bought "The Wild Beyond The Witchlight" but I don't have the maps from this adventure in "Maps"

[fast pumice]

So quick question, I have joined a friend's campaign on D&D Beyond and I have shared my content with the campaign, but I only want to share the 2024 and 2014 books, but not the third-party books. I do not see an option to choose which items to share. Since I am the one who paid for the books, I should be able to choose what is shared to the campaign (along with the DM, it should be a 'both agree or it isn't shared situation) So how do I restrict what is shared in this situation?

[north junco]

manage content

[fast pumice]

yes I know. I am in manage content.

THere is no option to share or not

[fast pumice]

Those buttons do not appear

[north junco]

oh, probably a bug, try different browser maybe?

[fast pumice]

Nope. No help there. It works fine in my own campaigns. I am sharing to a friend's campaign. I should still be able to choose what I am sharing from what I paid for.

[north junco]

fixed

[north junco]

sorry, there must be someone who should help you. I'm the wrong person

[fast pumice]

all good. Thanks for taking a look!

[sage compass]

I think the DM needs to uncheck them

I just looked into a friends game and i cant unshar anything

[uneven lantern]

Only the DM can change the Manage Content settings for that campaign.

Note that these settings only control whether someone can read a book shared from that campaign.

It won't stop them from reading a book they own themselves or the same book shared through a separate campaign.

And it won't restrict any available character options from that book.

If the DM doesn't want anyone using any third-party character options, the players will each need to disable the Partnered Content options in their character settings.

[vivid flicker]

is the tactical adventure maps no longer a thing? i thought it was in the legendary bundle but for the life of me i cant figure out why it's not there. i know there was mention of sage advice being moved out of place so not sure if it's just a bug on me end

[fast pumice]

Good to know. However, I find that problematic. As the owner of the books being shared, I want to be able to choose what I share with other players in Content Management so that I can use the materials I have paid for as I choose, rather than allowing others to access materials I do not wish to share.

[loud drift]

it's under your licsense now https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[fast pumice]

Keep in mind that if I were loaing out physical books, I would be able to loan out only what I chose to and would not be forced to loan out my entire library.

[loud drift]

fantastic feature request and very well worded

[vivid flicker]

thanks.. no luck though

You’re welcome to share that in #ddb-feedback.

Will do!! Much appreciated

[true belfry]

Hi again, wanted to comeback to the Forgotten Realms Bundle shenanigans. I have found this post in the forum from @uneven lantern saying the digital bundle do not provide discount and it is only for convenience. But I also see the post in this channel from @loud drift that there was in fact a discount on the digital bundle. All of this, is quite confusing.

Others says it is a cache issue, others say its a cookie issue, etc... Can we have a offical answer, thanks all

[vivid flicker]

i see it now as 107 on my end

seems the discount now comes through. I just emailed support to refund the original bundle so i could get the digital only

[uneven lantern]

What I said was that the digital bundle doesn’t provide a discount of its own. Buying the bundle is the same cost as buying all the items separately.

In contrast to the ultimate bundle, which is $76 cheaper than buying everything separately.

[true belfry]

understood

[uneven lantern]

The legendary bundle discount does (now) apply, but that’s a discount from the legendary bundle itself, not from the digital bundle.

So you’d need to own the legendary bundle to get that discount.

[true belfry]

ok thanks, this is clear

Keen user of DDB maps right now but am wondering if there is a way to have a DM only layer? I like using maps with players but don’t want them to see the areas of the map that are marked in a specific way like secret doors or traps as well as bey able to label them in relation to descriptions of each room for big dungeon crawls etc. am I missing something or is this not a feature like ok other VTTs?

[dense viper]

It currently doesnt have a feature like that but you can use the feedback link from within maps to send that feature request directly to the Maps team.

Until a feature like that is added, if it is, you can have tokens with the name renamed to your notes added to the map that are hidden from your players

[modest sandal]

That’s a great workaround thanks I didn’t think of doing something like that ☺️

Hello! Educator here! I want to start a DnD club at my school and a LOOONG time ago, there was an educator resource page on either dndbeyond or the Wizards site. I just tried to access it now since I bookmarked the page and it just keeps redirecting me to the essentials page. Here's the link to the Educator Resources: https://dnd.wizards.com/resources/educators. Any advice?

[dawn ice]

Can someone teach me how to get movement increase for a feat to work and not lower my movement but increase it by the amount I want plz

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend making a homebrew copy of an official feat that does it. Then you can peek inside and see how it was set up.

Mobile or Speedy, for example.

But you'd probably want a modifier with something like:

• Type: Bonus
• Subtype: Speed (Walking)
• Fixed Value: 5 (or however many feet you want to add)

[dawn ice]

i do that but instead of adding 10 it makes it turn into ten

[dawn ice]

ok it worked with me making it as speed only

how work i get this to work You gain 1 additional hitpoint every time you level

[hybrid nova]

Compare with the Tough Feat.

[dawn ice]

thank ill go try

[dawn ice]

OK so this part refuses to work on the feat i made

[uneven lantern]

Was it part of your feat to begin with, or did you add it after?

Homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes to appear on your sheet.

[dawn ice]

got it i'll check again in a moment

[dawn ice]

thank you it works now

how would i go about this part You gain the ability to speak to and understand any beast

[hybrid nova]

I don't think that's functionality Beyond interacts with.

[dawn ice]

got so people just add it as custom

[heavy nest]

I ended up creating a couple of homebrew monsters for secret doors and traps. I just copied the commoner and added an image of an S for secret door and T for trap. I place these and hide them on the map.

[loud drift]

I thought I remembered seeing something after the update, but I can't seem to find it now. I'd recommend contacting support to see if they can help you.

[olive forum]

Thank you!!!

[lyric sapphire]

is there any way to add spells from other classes to your character sheet? Playing a ranger, due to events DM said i can pick any lvl one spell from any class but ive often found the DDB character sheet reasonably cusomisable and this sounds like something that should be easy to do but i cant figure it out if there is.

[dire blade]

Homebrew a feat that adds the spell and add it manually to your character sheet.

[dense viper]

Or make a homebrew copy of the spell and add your class to the spells class list

Any ETA on the physical ultimate bundle availability for UK customers to purchase... (I know I keep asking, but I want to just get it sorted)

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, we probably won't get a date in advance.

I think there was some technical issue there, so it'd be available whenever that's fixed.

WOTC is on company holiday this week, though, so that may impact the timeline as well.

It's definitely coming, though, and I'm sure it'll be well in advance of the release (which is still more than three months away).

[random turtle]

Ok thanks, that's more news than nothing

[opaque wedge]

I filed a ticket a few days ago. Is there any way to get a faster response? I'm trying to get my character pieced together for my first campaign that starts in a few days. Nervous I'm going to run out of time. I appreciate that help!

[dapper gazelle]

Locations like here can sometimes answer questions faster but for things that truly require support, yeah, the wait can be long. It does seem like they eventually get through the requests, but wait times of what one would measure in weeks have been reported here.

Is there a specific problem you can bounce off us that we might be able to help with?

[uneven lantern]

Tickets are answered in the order they're receieved, so the exact wait will depend on how many tickets are ahead of yours.

WOTC is also on a weeklong company holiday, so that may also impact customer service wait times. I'm not sure.

But if I'm understanding your previous message correctly, you already do have the digital book available, no? If so, what's stopping you from getting your character ready?

[opaque wedge]

Unfortunately, I don't do well reading from my phone. I'd much rather have a physical books. You're right I could start creating my character, but it's hard not being able to research properly first, because I don't know much about what I'm getting into, but I watched some videos and I know I'm going to love it. I'm looking to buy the "2024 Digital & Physical Core Rulebook Bundle" in its place, which includes the physical versions of the books.

Thank you for your help! I also think it's especially hard because I want to build a wizard and they seem to be the most in depth sigh

[uneven lantern]

If you have access to a computer, you’d be able to use the digital book there as well.

Alternatively, you might check if your local library has a copy of the physical book you could borrow in the meantime.

[opaque wedge]

Fantastic idea, thank you!

I already spend a good majority of my life on a computer, I'm trying to be more conscious of it and use physical media when I can. Appreciate the help!

[dapper gazelle]

While you are waiting for support, while it might feel a little off to use something you maybe plan to return, at this time, you own the product and have paid the necessary money to use the product, so it seems fair for you to use it. MHO, I guess?!

I guess what I am saying is create it on Beyond and then if you want it on paper, just copy it on to the paper from what is on screen.

[sage compass]

its more that he struggles to take the info in reading it from there Phone. I am the same. although I can get on with digital copies once i have first taken it in with a real book in my hands, I struggle with digital only. I don't know if Austin is exactly the same as myself but it seems similar 🙂

to this day Illrigger and Blood Hunter are classes I dont get and struggle to understand as I only have them online and cant seem to take them all in

[vivid verge]

Hi all, I am trying to run campaigns using maps and mini's. So to be clear, I want to put a digital map on my table (t.v. extended monitor) use fog of war, etc, put run the encounter using encouters since I am not using tokens.... just actual minis. The map always seems to close after a bit and I have to stop game play, open the map back up, resize it to fit the models I am using on top of the maps, and it well just sucks that way. I am sure I am missing the "better way", so does anyone have any advice? I love, love love the encounter piece for running combat.

[dapper gazelle]

It might be a type of timeout. Maybe a workaround is to just create one token in a corner somewhere and just move it to a new position every X minutes.
-# I don't know of a better way.

[vivid verge]

It might be, but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure. I am using the spectator view if that makes a difference. I thought that would be more stable and you can use fullscreen mode.

[tender cipher]

hey yall the website wont let me export cus it keeps saying my character is not complete...

nvm lol

[mental nimbus]

Thanks for that.

My question was.more around having general chat and shared learning for Maps VTT similar to what we have for Sigil.

Do you know of anything like that, whether here as an official channel i have missed or something unofficial?

[loud drift]

No, but it may not be a bad idea with maps opening up to more people in the coming month.

I'm getting this anytime I try to load up ddb on firefox, and it takes like 5-10 mins to load on chrome, I'm gonna restart everything see if that fixes it but someone I had also try got the same thing, so idk

[dapper gazelle]

If you have a VPN, have you tried without it? Sometimes it will timeout under VPN but be fine with it off.

[heavy orchid]

Never had a problem with that till now though, but restarting seems to have worked for now

[open coral]

I'm getting time-outs with firefox and edge (and no VPN)

...aaaand we're back.

Ew, Beyond may be struggling tonight.

[hot flume]

Same happened to me at 1 something a.m.

[dapper gazelle]

Oh, yeah, something definitely up tonight...

[hot flume]

I do have a question though, does anybody know where you can test newly created species that you created? Like a steed character species you created?

[dapper gazelle]

In your local player groups really. Or post it somewhere asking for feedback. You could ask them in #homebrew .

As for DDB specifically, there is no built in mechanism i am aware of. Homebrew is intended to be already tested before publishing.

[hot flume]

Thank you for the help. I will try asking about my newly created steed character species in discord in #homebrew

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.

[viral cargo]

When will TCoE "Eldritch Adept" Feat include 2024 invocations like "Pact Of The Blade" ?

[uneven lantern]

Generally speaking, no one here knows what the devs are currently working on or what's coming next.

So "when" questions aren't ones we can usually answer.

[viral cargo]

Okay.
But even if its by DDB not possible by yet, it would theoretically possible (by rules) to use 2024 Pact Of The Blade Invocation by the TCoE Eldritch Adept feat, right ?

[uneven lantern]

I’d say so, yes.

As a workaround, I’d make a homebrew version of the feat that recreates that specific invocation.

[devout ravine]

Where is this at?

[sage compass]

on your Character sheet, not on the character editor screen

honestly there should be a way to add and manage them on the character editor / creation screen as well

Yeah cause you add the feats on the builder

Hey support, I need a bit of help. Apparently my players weren't able to get access to the content I own in the dndbeyond campaign, this has happened many times in the past but usually it fixes itself after a time, I don't think it has yet, but is there any way to make it work?

[uneven lantern]

Assuming you’ve already enabled Content Sharing for that campaign, then I’d also have everyone check if their entitlements are in sync.

?tag ddb entitlements

[dapper gazelle]

-# See Spamandtuna post as well, but also...

If they are unable to access the content in the character creator, the specific character they are trying to update must be in the campaign. If they are not, the content won't show.

Also, make sure they have chosen a 2014 Core Rules class if you are trying to share 2014 content, or a Core Rules class for 2024 sharing.

And, check the Home tab on the character. The publisher should be ticked if it is 3rd party publisher and if it is WotC books other than PH, so should Expanded Rules.

These 3 things, plus what Spamandtuna said fix the vast majority of character creator content sharing issues.

Hi, I'm trying to make an homebrew subclass for Barbarian, is it possible or not at all through subclass homebrew to give access to spells ? it doesn't seem to show the spells (with or without spellslots)

[uneven lantern]

I haven’t heard, but WOTC’s on a company holiday this week which is probably impacting the timeline here.

[uneven lantern]

Either should be possible, though adding spell slots takes a bit more work.

When did you add your spells? Were they part of the subclass before adding it to your character, or did you edit them in after?

[meager mesa]

i added to the subclass before

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can take up to 15 minutes to appear on your sheet.

[meager mesa]

everytime i rename the title of the subclass to make sure it's the one updated

[uneven lantern]

Can you share some screenshots of how the spell is set up?

[meager mesa]

Ah wait maybe without the spell slots i found out a way to do it using the limit uses

but it takes time to update the subclass i need check if that works, but the spell finaly appear mmh

i think earlier i added a value to "Spell Levels" so it went into conflict with my spells

[meager mesa]

so for example i have this feature adding 3 level 1 spells
i checked the infinite at the end to be able to pick all 3 together to go faster
I'm trying to reproduce the spell slots, if possible make only 4 uses or spell slots
everytime i'm pressing the buttons to use the spell it gives me the error

which doesn't really match the number of uses i give it

[meager mesa]

also if that can help, the answer from the server when click on use :

Disabled uBlock, still errors.

[halcyon plover]

thatr or use the homebrew tools to create a copy for private uses as long as you don't publish it beyond is ok with that

[dapper quartz]

Yeah, going that route

[uneven lantern]

I would add three different spell entries to this feature, rather than listing all three spells in a single entry.

What you've got set up is the approach you'd take if you want a player to choose between those spells.

[uneven lantern]

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

[uneven lantern]

Working fine for me. Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

[uneven lantern]

That's a known issue at the moment.

[marble grotto]

First time making a subclass in beyond. Trying to create a feature that sets swim speed to 30 feet or adds 10ft if they already have a swim speed. But I can't seem to make it show up correct. I figure maybe I can change it to have an option between granting 30 and 10 but I cant seem to figure out how to make it. Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll want to use Modifiers for that.

In this case I’d add one that gives you base speed of 20 ft, and another that adds 10.

That way if they don’t have a swimming speed already, they’ll get 20+10=30.

Or if they do have a higher speed from something else (say 30), it’ll add the 10 to that instead (for a total of 40).

[marble grotto]

So it should look something like ...
Set - Innate Speed (Swimming) 20
Bonus - Speed (Swimming) 10

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

For Set, there’s a “Speed (Swimming)” and an “Innate Speed (Swimming)”.

I’m honestly not sure what the difference is between them. 😅

But if one doesn’t work, you can try the other

[marble grotto]

Gotcha. ya it didnt so thats step two lol

[uneven lantern]

Just keep in mind that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet, too.

So if you tried that just now, it might actually be correct and just hasn’t kicked in yet.

[marble grotto]

Gotcha. I've monstly succeeded in speeding it al;ong but removing the class entirely and re-adding it. Seems to update appropriately.

Tho neither worked but I may have figured out wh

I'm wondering, the character is a Triton. Which has a swim spoeed equal to its walk speed. Wondering if that's overriding it to stay at 30?

[uneven lantern]

Not sure 🤔

[marble grotto]

Maybe not. Weirdly enough, I changed species and now it isn't giving a swim speed at all.

[uneven lantern]

Mine gave a 20 ft base, but not the 10 ft bonus…

I’m trying some other options.

[marble grotto]

I appreciate the effort!

I got a way to give myself the base speed. But not the bonus 10. I found how to make it a drop down choice. But picking the bonus 10 just doesnt seem to do anything

[uneven lantern]

Same…

I wonder if that modifier just doesn’t work for subclasses. 🤔

Not all of them work for all types of homebrew…

[marble grotto]

Well, that seems just rude.

lol

[uneven lantern]

Broadly speaking, the system’s built to facilitate the official rules.

If no official subclass ever added a speed bonus, they may not have ever had a reason to make that work.

[marble grotto]

That makes sense.

[uneven lantern]

Is this subclass just for your own campaign, or were you trying to publish it for the global community?

[marble grotto]

I do see somewhere in the forums where someone encountered a similar problem with Triton swim speed.

It's just for my own. (Creating from the Kibbles Compendium book)

Oh but Fathomless Warlock I believe give the same Swim speed bonus.

[uneven lantern]

Nah, that just gives you 40.

[marble grotto]

Oh does it? Boo.

[uneven lantern]

If you can find one that does, you could make a homebrew copy of it to see how it was set up.

[marble grotto]

lol the Triton doesn't even let you overwrite it. Rude.

[marble grotto]

I was trying this for something else, however I dopn;t have a subscription, which is required to add other poeople's subclasses it seems.

[uneven lantern]

Anyway, if this is for your own game, I’d just have the player manually adjust the speed right on their sheet if needed.

Otherwise you could use Options to give a fixed choice if you know their starting point.

Call it something like “I have a 30 ft. swim speed” and then have it set the speed to 40.

[marble grotto]

haha That might just be the way.

Thanks for the help mate.

I do have one other question.

Was making a feature that adds like 10 spells to the class, 2 every other level. Is there a way to do that without making a separate hidden feature for every spell?

If not it's okay, I think I made it work. But it felt egregiously tedious. Adding them all to one made it choose one instead of grant all

[uneven lantern]

Depending on the class, you might be able to use the Additional Specific Spells field on the main screen.

If the class follows a standard pattern for its subclass spells — like Cleric’s Domain Spells — anything you put there will just follow that pattern.

[marble grotto]

It's a sorc, so they'd be always ready known spells, and not choices

Would that work the same?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you wouldn’t be able to use this field for choices anyway.

[marble grotto]

Gotcha.

[uneven lantern]

You just give it the specific list of spells.

[knotty crystal]

Why can't I pick the old version of certain spells?

[dapper gazelle]

Did you tick 2014 Core Rules on the Home tab of the character creator?

[knotty crystal]

You can see that I did

[dapper gazelle]

Silly me only looked at first image. Hrm.

Do you own the 2014 PH or the specific character is in a campaign with someone who does?

I think i figured it out. The class you add has to be 2014 or it will only show the 2024s.

So, for example, if I add a 9th Cleric 2024 and a 1st Druid 2014, only the Druid shows 2014 spells.

So, if you want to see legacy spells, change to a 2014 class.

have all the books shared with me, had accessed to partner content this morning, but now just the parterned content has disappeared? is there a seperate setting for this im missing? Still can access all the other books

[dapper gazelle]

Check the home page on the specific character?

Do you personally own the content? If not, the specific character has to be in the campaign with the person who owns own it with sharing turned on for that campaign.

[analog parcel]

I dont own the content, and its not for a character its a campaign im dming, the book just isnt shared anymore, and neither is any partnered content, just partnered content

everything else is still shared with me ok

[dapper gazelle]

It is also possible for the owner of the share to disable content they share. If they have done this, it will no longer appear as a choice. (It would nit undo things already added though.)

So, check if the original person is still sharing by asking them.

Check if you still have a character in a campaign with them. To have any book content from someone else, character related or not, a character has to be in a campaign with share on with them.

[analog parcel]

yup, character is still in the campaign

[dapper gazelle]

Can you name one book no longer appearing?

[analog parcel]

crooked moon, cuthulu by torchlight, etc again just the partnered ones specifically

[dapper gazelle]

Can you access this page?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/tcmp2/a-dreadful-folktale

[analog parcel]

just comes up with the store page

[dapper gazelle]

OK, so the item is not being recognized as owned or shared with you.

One more page...
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/tcmp1/a-dreadful-folktale

(The set has 2 books for D&D Beyond purposes.)

[analog parcel]

yeah that ones not either

but it was yesterday, which is weird

[dapper gazelle]

Yeah, then the book is no longer shared. You need to confirm the campaign status (you in it, the person sharing is still allowing the book to be shared) and check with the sharer and see if they can see it. If they no longer can, nothing you do will work either.

?tag ddb contentsharing

[loud sedge]

Content Sharing

A player or DM with a Master Tier subscription can enable Content Sharing in up to five campaigns. Once Content Sharing is enabled, any content unlocked by anyone in the campaign gets shared with everyone else, and they can use those shared character options for characters in that campaign. Learn more

[dapper gazelle]

Oh, right.. could the master tier sub have ended?

[analog parcel]

I am the DM with the master tier, its the player who has all the content

and they are still in the campaign

again i was wondering if it was a bug if it was just partnered content

[dapper gazelle]

If you have the master tier, iirc, you have the controls to disable the shared books.

View the campaign and click the button that says Content Management, either click the buttons marked share all or scroll down and check that the toggle for this book shows on.

[analog parcel]

all partnered content is gone from the list when it was there yesterday

[dapper gazelle]

Is the person who shared it still in this campaign?

If they are gone from this particular one, no character present, the content will vape with them.

[analog parcel]

they are

[dapper gazelle]

Weird. The problem sounds like something on their side. But the usual suspects that we can check are i think exhausted. They need to see if they can still see the content, because assuming you verified things I mentioned, I am pretty sure you should see it.

You could wait to see if one of the Wizards people has suggestions, but I would verify with the person who shared and if not, you may have to contact DDB Customer Support. Just be aware that contacts with them are done in order and the wait time is sometimes measured in weeks.

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

[knotty crystal]

This didn't used to be the case. I used to be able to pick them interchangably

[hybrid nova]

That has never been the case for '24 classes, barring any spells that are legacy but call under Expanded Content, like Ice Knife.

[knotty crystal]

I swore I could pick them interchangably

Goes to check a different character

See here I can pick em interchangably

Wait this is artificer, I'll check a different one

[dense viper]

You probably could but then they added a toggle switch to turn off the 2024 rules so that may be turned off on thr character you are having issues with.

[knotty crystal]

Hm. Ok so I swore wrong. My bad then.

[knotty crystal]

If you saw the image you can see that its on.

[dense viper]

I didn't see that image, so that's my bad

[dense viper]

After getting a chance to look at the images you posted. I can see that the toggles I was talking about aren't shown in those screenshots.

I have included an example of what I was talking about.

[dire blade]

Press the down arrow next to partnered content.

[dense viper]

There are some spells that only had minor word changes so there isn't an old or new version of those spells

[dense viper]

I feel I need to ask what spells are you trying to add the old version of?

[dire blade]

Oh, I thought they were trying to access partnered content, but I think that was the person from earlier actually.

[knotty crystal]

Old chill touch
Old shocking grasp
Old web

[viral mountain]

My gmail keeps sending me this massage and idk what to do i try doing it and it wont work Please use your subscription within 3 days on your Android device to ensure it is registered with the developer. If you do not use it month date and stuffs, it will be canceled for you and you will receive a refund for any charges.

It does not do this with anything else

[uneven lantern]

That email is coming from D&D Beyond?

[viral mountain]

Nope but this is the only subscription that does this

All my other stuff works fine

[uneven lantern]

I don't know. I've never heard of anyone with that issue before. 😅

You could try contacting customer support.

[hybrid nova]

Your best bet is making homebrew copies of those spells and adding them to the '24 spell lists.

Not sure why you'd prefer old Web though, I think '24 Web is the same or better, no?

[knotty crystal]

Old web is better in the fact that it specifies strength check not strength (athletics) check

[void ravine]

Why don't I have access to the Monsters of Drakkenheim tokens in the DDB maps. I am a master tier, so shouldn't I have access to the tokens to add to the maps?

[dense viper]

The maps tool only uses the content you own. Shared content cant be used in maps

[void ravine]

I had to double-check and realized that as well. I thought I did own it. I'll have to rectify that immediately. Thanks.

[zealous shell]

A few of the source books on the DDB app won't update. It'll make an attempt then stop. I've tried closing and reopening the app, clearing the cache, and uninstalling then reinstalling DDB.

[dapper gazelle]

If it is the same issue as this #ddb-support message that Spamandtuna replied to, it is known bug. I haven't seen anything yet about a resolution.

[zealous shell]

Thanks!

[loud drift]

Staff is wrapping up a collective week long break, we'll hopefully see fixes roll out shortly after the weekend

[fringe grove]

just tried to view sword of vengeance on dnd beyond, and everytime takes me to the marketplace to purcahse the dmg 2024 even though i own it digitally, and viewing the digitial armament section at the time. any one else have this issue?

[viscid prairie]

why is dnd beyond so laggy when selecting spells?

[visual basin]

Hey for Map VTT in DnD Beyond do you need the monster manual to get access to all the monsters In any of my campaigns?

I guess I should say to get monsters that don’t come in the campaign already.

[dense viper]

Yes you will need to own the source books the monster are in to use their tokens in the map tools.

So if you want monsters from the MM you will need to own it on DnD Beyond

[visual basin]

Sounds good thank you! I kinda thought so

[mental nimbus]

How have people used the maps encounter builder for in real life games?

Absolutely love the encounters builder for my campaigns, had hoped we'd see it updated for 2024, but that's not going to happen unfortunately.

Have people used it for not VTT games?

[buoyant lichen]

Where is the feedback option for maps on here?

[late epoch]

Hi hello I’ve wanted to play dnd for a while but never to it so I downloaded dnd beyond and fr fr I don’t know what I’m doing

[heavy bramble]

#dnd-newcomers then after that #find-a-game

[dapper gazelle]

Does this page display for you?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5505-sword-of-vengeance

[dapper gazelle]

If you mean in the Android app, I find if I have not hit the search button yet, it can be slow. When I hit the search button to indicate i am done typing, it finds it relatively fast.

[dapper gazelle]

Have you checked if your entitlements are in sync? (See below.)

[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.

[true quest]

Is there a way to add non-item supernatural gifts, blessings, or charms to a character's sheet? I cannot seem to find this anywhere, but they're part of the DMG (which I have purchased on DNDBeyond)

[uneven lantern]

It’s normally on the right side there. Certain ad blockers will sometimes hide it, though, which might be the case here.

[uneven lantern]

Not currently. I’d create it as a homebrew feat instead and add that to the character instead.

[buoyant lichen]

Is it possible to roll a spell from Maps as DM?

Like from a monster

Like I can dragon breath because it's an action but can I chain lightning and have it show up as a roll?

[ornate remnant]

So how do I deal with this? We're trying to play with a DnDBeyond map for the first time, and the player can't load their map (it's loading fine on the DM side). Player getting this message:

"Our steps got out of sync thanks to Otto's Irresistible Dance.
Please refresh to help us save our Wisdom Saving Throw!

(We ran into an error while loading the map. If this continues to persist, please contact support.)"

[dense viper]

Try having them clear the browser cache and reload the page

[ornate remnant]

Nope.

I'm seeing search results for this issue going back to 2017, and can't find a reliable solution to it anywhere.

[ornate remnant]

we got it to work but had to click the Play ▶️ button on a character sheet for it to work, not go directly to the weblink

[fringe grove]

Just takes me to the purchase page for dmg 2024. Which i own lol

[fringe grove]

I'll try this again but everything else that links to a magic item from the dmg works just not that one which I found strange lol

[dapper gazelle]

If that is taking you to the purchase page then it doesn't think you own the product. You will want to check the entitlements are in sync and that the product shows as owned. If it does show, you will probalby need to contact support because with Entitlements working properly and you seeing hte product as purchased in that list, DDB should be showing you the page for the link I sent.

Is there any chance you may have purchased the 2014 DMG and not the 2024 DMG? As the 2014 DMG does not have that Sword of Vengeance, you may not actually own the 2024 DMG.

If you do end up having to contact support, please note that they deal with support tickets in order and there have been delays in getting a response that have been reported in weeks, so you'll need to be patient. Information for that if you decide to go that route is below.

[dapper gazelle]

On the entitlements page, you should have a line that looks similar to the top-line (might not say "Pre-Order"), but should definitely not have a "(2014)" in the name like the bottom one.

[dapper gazelle]

Could also try clearing cache and the like. DDB caches a lot.

[languid sequoia]

When I try to export a character's character sheet from my campaign's all I get is a blank character sheet for that character. Any tips on getting a non-blank sheet?

[uneven lantern]

That can happen if you’re using Edge. If that’s the case here, I’d recommend trying a different browser or a dedicate PDF viewer like Adobe Acrobat.

[hot flume]

I am sad that there isn't different separate areas in d&d beyond for a people to post their newly created and untested d&d homebrew thing in order to receive input from dungeon masters like having a separate channel to talk about homebrew weapons and a separate channel to talk about homebrew species. Those discord channels would be great for players and newer Dungeon masters to get constructive criticism and input about their newly created hombrew things before they publish it in d&d beyond website's community homebrew section.

I am saying what I said in my post above is because there is a limit on the amount of letters you can use in #homebrew so you can't get input on your newly created and untested homebrew species you created.

[uneven lantern]

Discord Nitro users can post larger messages.

Or you can just break it into multiple smaller messages.

Or you can create a document somewhere and just share the link.

[granite jungle]

Is there anyway to make a homebrew magic item that also has homebrew actions?

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not. I’d just add a custom action directly on the sheet by going to Actions and clicking Manage Custom in the top right corner.

[fringe grove]

also the only dmg i have purchased digtallay is the 2024 book

[fringe grove]

whats funny is, that i can be viewing the DMG on dnd beyong, click the lick for that weapon and then it takes me to the purchase page haha

just to check if it wasn't just the Sword of Vengeance i was having issues viewing, I went through the entire list of magic items in the DMG 2024 and only the "Sword of Vengeance" and "Tome of the Stilled Tongue" took me to the marketplace to purchase the DMG 2024 even though i was viewing them from the digital DMG 2024 on dnd beyond.
My entitlements are all upto date. I have only purchased the DMG 2024 and do not own the DMG 2014. I have cleared my cache from Chrome and Firefox. and still have the issue above.

[loud drift]

That is a really weird problem to have, I'd recommend creating a ticket with support so that someone can check the backend.

[obsidian merlin]

Not always.

If my guess is right, you might be thinking of Niv-Mizzet (Ravinica) which has Chain Lighting in a long list of other spells, and a Fire Breath action where you can roll the fire damage from the stat-block. Yes?

I think you are highlighting the problem where the Stat blocks for the majority of spellcasting Monsters simply have a list of spells, each with a link that opens the spell description in another window. The expectation is for the DM to make custom rolls using ROLL DICE at the bottom of the game log. I don't like this because it simply adds a Custom Roll to the game log, and there is no way to annotate what the roll was for. (i will make that feature request in Maps feedback, you can too.)

I think the stat-blocks for most spellcasting monsters - including Niv-Mizzet - include a dice roller for spell attack hits, so you would use that in Maps for the small number of spells that actually use spell attacks (Niv-Mizzet has several: Fire Bolt, Ray of Frost, Shocking Grasp, Scorching Ray). Chain Lightning does not use a spell attack, but you have to make a Custom roll for the d8 damage.

My solution is to make a homebrew copy of a monster and add the relevant dice rollers (rollable tags) for spell attacks and damage. This is a LOT of effort, especially if you have to start from scratch, but it makes combat easier for the DM and quicker. It has a minor virtue of helping me remember the spells which helps me during combat. It means I can make my unique version of the monster. Plus I don't need to purchase the book that contains the original monster.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/106856-adding-rollable-tags-to-your-homebrew-monsters-for

HTH
PS. My priority gripe is that Maps doesn't support Crit rolls yet.

[obsidian merlin]

As @uneven lantern says: no. However, several workarounds, all risk confusing the player(s):

1. homebrew an item to use a homebrew cantrip and craft that as your desired action
2. a weapon has an action built into it
3. use a feat instead, you tell the player to add the feat instead of an inventory item (but not possible to list that feat under attunement, so you could have a item for that as well as the feat)
   With each you can include other actions and abilities into the description.

[lament mountain]

I am getting a 403 Forbidden message when I try to log in.... this is a first ever.

[verbal creek]

Getting frequent API crashes in the character builder.

Let me see if it's a browser problem.

[cloud ivy]

This might be the wrong channel for this but, our D&D party is moving away. I'd like to set up a game on D&D Beyond, how does that work does everyone need to be a paying member or does the DM just need to be a paying member?

[fading bramble]

Just the DM needs to have a Subscription to access and use maps

[cloud ivy]

and players can just hop into a game?

[fading bramble]

yeah, if theyre in the same campaign

[cloud ivy]

also if I build a map in Sigil will players in the campaign be able to see them?

[fading bramble]

I have no idea about Sigil

[granite jungle]

appreciate it

[heavy nest]

Sigil is different. Everyone would have to download and install the client (which is currently Windows only), and the DM can invite the players to the game. If you were serious about it, I recommend joining the Sigil discord server.

[cloud ivy]

Link?

[granite jungle]

thank you

[heavy nest]

I believe an invite is pinned in https://discord.com/channels/516367331358801950/1278160307533119539, you need special permissions to invite, which I don't have.

[celest geyser]

Im having trouble signing in on my mobile browser. Idk where to ask about that, so I figured I would ask here

[dapper gazelle]

Can you describe what happens?

[celest geyser]

Currently it’s an “error 403”.
It’s only happening when I’m using opera GX on my phone. Both Google and Safari work just fine.

Before that, it was stuck on Accounts.google.com/gsi/transform.

[dapper gazelle]

Have you tried running in whatever mode Opera uses without any plugins or addons? When it is browser specific, it can often be specific software that has latched on to that browser.

[celest geyser]

For some reason it was only when I tried with the Google login part. Wizards of the coast worked

I tried changing every single setting in my browser for some reason none of that worked

[dapper gazelle]

Right, but i don't mean change settings. I mean disable all extensions. You can always turn them back on after the test as you would not be removing them.

From the internet...

Running Opera GX Without Extensions:

1. Disable Extensions: Navigate to Opera GX settings, then go to Extensions and disable or remove any unnecessary extensions.
2. Restart: Restart Opera GX to apply the changes.

[zenith otter]

I have two questions: (1) on the mobile app, it tells me that four of my books (Monsters of Drakkenheim, Dragon Delves, and both Crooked Moon books) have updates available, but when I click it, it goes to downloading and then right back to updates available everytime; and (2) when I try to use short rest on the laptop or the mobile app, it doesn't do anything, even after I press the confirm button and select hit dice, etc. Am I doing something wrong?

[sage compass]

I have had 1 as well, I asked about it its a knows problem, nothing your doing wrong there, hopefully now all the WotC staff are back after a week long brake it should get fix... we hope lol

sorry cant help on point 2

[zenith otter]

Thanks. Glad it's a known problem.

[plush surge]

the reason i asked this #dnd-discussion message
is bcs i am trying to crate subclass with an ability that exped hit die
there a way to do it? that if i would click on something in the CS it will mark one of the hit dice as used?

[dapper gazelle]

1. As already noted, This is a known issue they are looking in to.
2. Did you tick automatically apply healing, the appropriate tick boxes, and then Take Short Rest? I just tested this in the Android App and it worked as it healed damage i had applied.

[loud drift]

I would recommend seeing if there is another subclass that has a feature like that and making a copy of it to see how it's setup

[plush surge]

that what i thought, that why i asked the Q in general, tnx

[uneven lantern]

There is not currently a way to mark hit dice as used outside of taking a short rest.

[sage compass]

Hi, I don't suppose the Website team have given an update on when the Forgotten Realms Bundle will be available to order outside the US?

you understand, I'm not impatient I just want it now!!!

[stoic orbit]

Just tried to log in to DDB and got a 403 forbidden error when I clicked the login tab - using safari in my iPad

[loud drift]

Do you get the same error in a different browser or on a different device?

[sly pasture]

I'm sure someone is going to point out the silliest of things, but I can't seem to get my subclasses to load. I own Tasha's, yet none of the subclasses are there. Any guidance would be very helpful.

Never mind... I found it.

[dapper gazelle]

What was it?

[plush surge]

i got this a few times in the last few minutes

[naive lodge]

Does it happen in another browser, on another device, on a different network? Do you have any extensions enabled that may be interacting with the website?

[plush surge]

it work well in anther browser, and after a few times of trying also work in that one

[zenith otter]

Just tried again and it worked great for number 2. Not sure what went wrong for me and four of five players last night.

[quiet crest]

Is the Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle for the US only?

it sends me to another site for shipping outside the US and I can't find the product there

[uneven lantern]

There’s been a delay in getting it added to that site, but it is coming!

[quiet crest]

ok thankyou

wait, the FAQ is showing that only NA and EU are eligible for the digital and physical bundles?

I still wont be able to get it in Australia?

[uneven lantern]

Which FAQ are you referring to?

That does seem to be the case, I’m afraid.

These are the countries listed on that site itself:

[stuck isle]

Hello, we were awarded Boots of the Winterlands last session, I have added them to my equipment in D&D Beyond, and I can equip them, but where is the attune button/option?

[fading bramble]

scroll down a bit

[stuck isle]

I've tried in both Firefox and Chrome, Ctrl-F finds one "attune", and it is (requires attunement), I don't see anything scrolling everywhere

Is it on the Equipment page?

[edgy oriole]

You don't already have 3 attuned items do you? You can only have 3 attuned items at a time (except artificers).

[stuck isle]

No, first magic item

I found it on the bottom of the character sheet Inventory section, it is not on the 5. Equipment section

It is only in What's Next >

[edgy oriole]

Oh yeah - normally I do attunement on the front end of the sheet under the Inventory tab

[stuck isle]

Now I have to figure out how to remove my custom *Cold Resistance from Defense, as it lists two now

[tawny sky]

Hi there, I am a Bard (simple weapon proficiency and crossbow expert), but for some reason the crossbow is not showing up as proficient, available for true strike, or giving me the benefits of crossbow expert

[dapper gazelle]

Depends on the type of bard and which version of the Class you are using.

2014 Bards were proficient in Hand Crossbows. 2024s are not.
Light Crossbows are Simple Weapons. The others are not.
2014 Crossbow Expert only ignores Loading if you are Proficient. 2024 doesn't care.

You need to check which version of the feat and which version of the class you are using, as well as what type of crossbow you are trying to apply it to, if things look different than you're used to.

[tawny sky]

I am using Light Crossbow,, version 2024

[dapper gazelle]

Did you check you added the 2024 version of Bard and not the 2014 version of Bard ? Similarly, did you check that you added Crossbow Expert and not "Legacy" Crossbow Expert?

[swift perch]

Artificer fron TCoE is missing the infusion for replicating "bag of holding"
https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/150386739/builder/class/manage

[hybrid nova]

It's there for me. Do you have the DMG?

[swift perch]

I am lookin there...

[hybrid nova]

I noticed that list is dependant on what content you have available. Do you have the 2014 DMG and have 2014 Core Rules checked?

[swift perch]

Good catch, apparently it only works with 2014 rules. I have all the 2024 package and it was not working until I turned on 2014 rules

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, makes sense since it's designed for them initially (plus, they wouldn't want 2 versions of everything in the dropdown).

[swift perch]

you mean like this XD?

[hybrid nova]

Fair enough.

Seems like it actually should be showing 2 Bag of Holding items, but for whatever reason it's only grabbing the '14 one.

[sage compass]

just want to check I just got the Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle on the Partner site for outside US delivery. I redeemed the code on the DDB website and it has it listed as the Digital bundle.. Will i get everything?

just checking, I was not sure if this line on the Digital bundle is just referring the the physical book or something else

[uneven lantern]

I’d assume that’s correct, since all DDB itself cares about is the digital access.

[sage compass]

ok thank you

[raw mortar]

I’m getting a 403 forbidden error on dndbeyond trying to help a noob make an account, is there some sort of downtime related to the site?

[uneven lantern]

Not that I'm aware of. Do you get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

[tawny sky]

Yes both are core rules (2024)

[dapper gazelle]

I did a bunch of testing and I think i got this sorted now.

1. Proficiency with base light Crossbow is working properly. (This was not in question i think)

2. True Strike appears to have a bug in DDB. It should work for Light Xbow much as it works for Scimitar.

3. Crossbow Expert does not show because there isn't much for DDB to show...
   3a. DDB does not manage hands being full so it does not know whether the free hand exception applies.
   3b. DDB does not know your distance to target so cannot factor in the negation of Disadvantage.
   3c. Light Xbow does not qualify for Dual Wielding. While it is called "Light", it does not possess the Light property required for Dual Wielding.

Hopefully, a moderator can submit the Light Xbow for fixing with True Strike.

[dense viper]

The Light Crossbow is still a 2 handed weapon and as such cant be used with dual wielding

[sage compass]

are peeps thinking Hand cross bow and confusing it for the light one? hand cross bow is a light weapon

[dapper gazelle]

I don't think so. Further up in OP's original post they more commented that nothing was seemingly applying, not that any specific one was missing. Thus far, there has been no indication they expected the light Xbow to be dual Wield.

[lusty void]

I have a question about using sword that are not listed in the PHB. For example if I wanted my ranger to use 2 sabers would I just homebrew them using say scimitars as the base? Giving the sabers the same damage and properties as a scimitar?

[edgy oriole]

Yes - you could create a homebrew weapon item (using a base weapon that has the type of damage and damage dice you want) and label it to be whatever weapon you want it to be.

[lusty void]

How would you do the mastery for it?

[edgy oriole]

You would have to put a note about it and manually apply any mastery benefits.

[devout ravine]

I am struggling getting the images on the character sheet they are on the DND Beyond but not on the PDF

[edgy oriole]

Can you explain what you mean? Like the character's profile image?

Or something else?

[uneven lantern]

I’d just add a scimitar and then rename it on the sheet.

[ornate summit]

Is there a way to check the date for when a character sheet was made on ddb?

[devout ravine]

So i uploaded the image on to the online sheet but when i go and look for a character image there isnt one on. the PDF character sheet and it wont let me add one after the fact either

[dapper gazelle]

Is it possible to make a homebrew copy of an item shared with me? I seem to be hitting a lot of walls attempting it.

[dire blade]

No, you can only use something as a template if you own it. You could just copy its effects in a from-scratch homebrew, however.

[left oasis]

Currently trying to make the Maverick subclass from Explorer From Eberron on ddb.

How can I add a class' full spell list into the Artificer known spells?

What I managed to do is, via the Option section, allow one spell to be picked. Obviously, not what I want since I want to add the full spell list to the Artificer spell list instead.

[hybrid nova]

As someone who made the Maverick as homebrew himself, it's a subclass Beyond isn't really equipped to create, as nothing like it has existed before. You can get close by just allowing free selection of all spells of the appropriate level for the always prepared spell list, and self-limiting to whatever class you picked. I included a series of Options for each class just so the player could have a note of which class was picked, even if it didn't influence the available spells.

[loud drift]

The easiest way is to make a copy of one of the other artificer subclasses to see how their expanded spell lists are set up.

As a note, please remember not to publish the subclass. Publishing isn't needed for you or anyone in your campaign to use it

[devout ravine]

How do you “manage” the character sheet? Like for extra feats and such?

[uneven lantern]

To add a feat outside the normal character progression, open the sheet, go to Features & Traits, scroll down to the Feats section, and click "Manage Feats".

[devout ravine]

What about to add a picture to the character sheet

[dire blade]

On the main character sheet just click on the image in the top left and it’ll bring up a little menu that contains it.

[devout ravine]

I want it on the printed sheet

[uneven lantern]

I don't think that's supported.

But once you've got the PDF, you can edit it however you like.

[devout ravine]

That’s shitty

[fleet dove]

Did they break Eldritch Invocations on DDB today? I can’t pick the correct invocations anymore, and ones I had already picked are being listed as homebrew now… ???

[uneven lantern]

It’s been reported to the devs already.

[fleet dove]

Shortbow too. Maybe all ranged weapons?

[dapper gazelle]

It does seem shortbow is busted for True Strike as well. Didn't check other ranged weapons but could be busted for all.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it’s all ranged weapons.

[spare sorrel]

I've added a homebrew Oath to my collection, but when I look at the dropdown list on DDB, its not showing?? NEED HELP! Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Homebrew enabled for that character?

[dapper gazelle]

If you cloned an existing subclass, did you check if you built it for a 2014 or 2024 base class and are you using that class?

Did you turn on homebrew on the character? (On the character Home tab.)

[uneven lantern]

And yeah, is the subclass for or ? Did you pick the same one for your character?

[coarse axle]

it's not letting me pick any fighting style other than druidic warrior for my ranger...

[spare sorrel]

yes

[spare sorrel]

Hmm under base class I selected the 2014, and its still showing.

[uneven lantern]

An issue popped up today that’s causing the feat choice to only display if Homebrew is enabled.

[coarse axle]

perfect, thank you!

[uneven lantern]

You mean the subclass does show up when you choose ?

[spare sorrel]

it shows up under both. when I search for it.

But it wont show under the drop down menu

[uneven lantern]

Which subclass are you trying to use?

[spare sorrel]

Oath of the Crown (or as close as possible, since I dont have access to the actual Oath at the moment)

[devout ravine]

Im struggling with the Warlock its saying it only has two invocations if i dont turn on the homebrew why is this?

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to whatever specific one you’re trying to use?

[uneven lantern]

That’s an issue that popped up today. It’s been reported to the devs already.

[spare sorrel]

is it just the browser link or is there a specfic link?

OOOo no wait. I figured it out, my mistake. Yea the DM is jjust gonna let me swap to 2024 Paladin, so I can fix this easily

[elfin minnow]

For some reason, Death Domain Cleric appears as just "Variable". It depicts the subclass correctly for the rest, just not the Death Domain.

[uneven lantern]

That first word comes from the character’s Gender field.

Not the subclass.

[idle wind]

just tried to open my character sheet and this happed i have tried clearing the chach it did not fix it please help

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to that character?

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

[idle wind]

let me try on edge

same thing happens on edge

let me try on a new charater

i can make one but as soon as i chose a class it kicks me to this screen

here is a link to one of them

What book is the new 2024 Artificer in ?

[uneven lantern]

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/5147000?pid=D5147000

[uneven lantern]

I get a 403 on that one. I'm guessing the character wasn't set to Public.

I'm able to load my own characters just fine, though...

[idle wind]

i think i found the problem

now just to fix it

[raw tide]

Can someone help me somehow one of my players who is playing a cleric monk multiclass, their spell save dc is 17 and they are only level 6 with a Wisdom mod of 3, how did this happen? https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/150835020

this is 2024 character sheet btw

i have looked all over the character sheet and have no idea how. Its not via an item so what can it be?

[dire blade]

Not sure! Reads like a bug to me. Try removing the Grave Keeper origin feat and seeing if it fixes it, since it's the only unknown I'm personally unfamiliar with.

[raw tide]

yep it was the Gravekeepr ty

so for some reason gravkeeper adds ur wisdom modifier again to ur spell save dc.

Grave Keeper comes from Crooked Moon it seems

[dire blade]

Definitely a bug, yeah. You can post it in #ddb-feedback and one of the moderators, probably spam, will report it up to the developers.

[raw tide]

ty fo the help

[elfin minnow]

Oh that’s funny. Thanks! I completely forgot I put that there for them.

[verbal creek]

I take it you forgot to pick a subclass?

[uneven lantern]

Opening a species page from the global site search should now work as expected.

yippie

[hoary rivet]

i'm trying to add the path of the totem barbarian subclass at lvl 3, but it won't show up in the choices, just 'core - path of the berserker'. so i went and purchased the 2014 handbook to get it, and it still won't show up. am i missing an option somewhere? thanks!

[uneven lantern]

Did you select Barbarian (the 2024 class) instead of Barbarian (the 2014 class)?

For , you'd need the 2024 PHB and its updated (and renamed) version of that subclass, Path of the Wild Heart.

You'll need to select if you want to use the 2014 subclass.

You might also want to make sure 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.

[hoary rivet]

yeah thats it, i created it before i bought the 2014 book. but if there's a 2024 i can just use that too, but why doesnt path of the wild heart show up then?

oh wait, i just reread your message. so i have to buy the 2024 handbook? its not just included as the core ruleset?

[hybrid nova]

This is correct. The basic free rules only include one subclass per class.

[hoary rivet]

ok so the website won't even display them until i order the book? i'm trying to look it up and it won't even show me the specifics
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/2190875-barbarian#PathoftheWildHeart

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, you'd need the 2024 PHB to access that subclass anywhere on the site.

But there's an article here that describes some of its changes vs. the 2014 subclass:

The Path of the Wild Heart has seen some significant improvements to its flexibility. Now, you can change the animals that you draw primal power from more easily, and they've been balanced to make choosing feel more strategic. Instead of choosing an animal at level 3 and sticking with it through your campaign, you can swap out benefits from your level 3 and 14 abilities each time you Rage. The more passive abilities you gain at level 6 can be changed out whenever you finish a Long Rest.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1750-2024-barbarian-vs-2014-barbarian-whats-new

[hoary rivet]

ah thank you. what an insane way to design software

[dapper gazelle]

In fairness, DDB is playing a chase game trying to support new rules after new rules are created or errata'd, all while trying to continue to support people still using 2014 and still demanding new functionalityfor 2014.

Always room for improvement in design but they accomplish a lot already with what they have.

[keen patrol]

I am not sure if this is the place to report bugs with the app or not. i cannot find anywhere else to report them. the character builder has a bug. Ranger class builder is broken. the second level ability to select druidic warrior or fighting feat is not populating both options. only the druidic warrior option is appearing. using a samsung andriod. most recent app. tried all the basic stuff. restarting, clearing, updating, etc.

reproduced on two devices

[uneven lantern]

That's a known issue at the moment. The option should appear if you enable Homebrew for that character, or you can manually add the feat by going to Features & Traits > Manage Feats.

[shell wing]

When creating homebrew... what in-line code do I use to link to weapon properties?

I've tried like every version of [weaponProperty]light[/weaponProperty] I could think of.

[uneven lantern]

Try [wprop]light[/wprop]

You can see the full list of options here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips

[shell wing]

Thank you.. found it seconds before you posted.

Now.... is there a way to change the Attack Type?

I'm trying to build a version of the Fan from Obijima... but with the Vex Mastery.... and the closest I could get is a dart as the base.

I just need to change it from Ranged Type to Melee... so it will work with things like Truestrike, GFB and Booming Blade.

[shell wing]

Or how to reduce a Handaxe's damage from 1d6 to 1d4.

[hybrid nova]

Can't change damage die, unfortunately. I believe you choose "add weapon property" for Vex on a homebrew copy of the fan, though, no?

[shell wing]

Oh I tried that... and it just plain refuses to add to the item.

I tried to build the claws from Heliana's with Nick as well... and ended up having to use a scimitar as the base.

The fan is proving much more difficult.

[hybrid nova]

Hmm...I know you can add other properties, does mastery just not register but others do?

[shell wing]

That's correct. Mastery just plain doesn't register.

I think it's because the Mastery Options all have the weapons in parentheses... Vex (Handaxe)

[hybrid nova]

I think what it comes down to is that nothing in any books on Beyond has an alternate Mastery to base, so it's not possible.

Basically, they didn't code it in because nothing uses it.

[shell wing]

Which is fine.... Dart works well enough.... except I can't make a dart into a Melee attack instead of a ranged.

[hybrid nova]

I think your best bet is to just put the text for Vex into the homebrew Fan's description, or something

This is something Beyond isn't set up to handle.

(and the masteries aren't mechanically implemented in Beyond anyways)

[shell wing]

I could try it that way.... just feels... cheaty.

[hybrid nova]

You can still require the player to dedicate a Mastery to it, it just wouldn't be selectable.

Beyond, at the end of the day, prioiritizes making the content that is sold on the site work. Homebrew is a cool feature it has, but they just can't dedicate the same resources to making it able to do everything you'd imagine because new official/third party content releases all the time and they don't have the bandwidth to dedicate to specifically the homebrew tools.

So you end up with the situation where if something that is being sold on the site uses it, it'll likely work. The more out-of-the-box you go, the less likely it'll function in the site tools.

Hopefully whenever Obojima updates for '24 rules (which apparently 1985 games has stated they're working on) the actual Fan item will get a mastery.

[shell wing]

That'd be great.

[warped briar]

I installed the DnD Launcher when installing the Sigil VTT but there is no option to install it or even run it form Window Start, I have to locate it in Explorer and run it there, but there is no uninstall option ???

[edgy oriole]

Folks in #sigil-vtt-archive might know. Also check the pinned messages there for a link to the Sigil Discord server.

[sage compass]

its a very wired program, it always seems to default install and what you used to install it is also the thing that starts it up each time, so i moved mine to the Desktop so I know were it is

[ionic harness]

This might be a question in the third party channel but on Dndbeyond, in any of the third party material, are there any new Warlock Invocations? (I know Humblewood has a few, since I am using one of them)

[uneven lantern]

I think Humblewood’s the only one so far.

[daring stump]

I had a strange question, I am looking at getting an Enspelled Club and i'm going to put sheleliagh on it, which changes the damage of the weapon itself. Is there a way to reflect this and have a display for it in DDB?

[uneven lantern]

@fiery pawn Does the book show here under Current Product Licenses? If so, you’ve successfully redeemed the code.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

If not, your friend may want to check here to see who did redeem the code.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/my-gifts

[sage compass]

only way I know is to Make a Custom note on the Club, then add the spell to your sheet, may need to make a custom feat to give you the spell

not sure if anyone els has a better way

[uneven lantern]

Shillelagh itself lets you roll that damage.

So you’d roll from the weapon when the spell’s not in effect, and from the spell when it is.

[sage compass]

I noticed with Enspelled item, it dost not need to just be an attack spell it can be healing as well. but it only displays what the attack bonus is, are we not meant to add anything to healing spells or work out what the Prof bonus is to the attack bonus and take it off and use the number remaining for healing?

[uneven lantern]

That sounds like a #dnd-rules question, but the table you’re looking at only applies to spells that involve either saving throw or an attack roll. You’d use that number rather than the spellcaster’s own values.

Since a healing spell like Cure Wounds doesn’t involve a saving throw or attack roll, that table is irrelevant (as are the caster’s own values).

[warped briar]

Thank you!, good idea. I was expecting at least something in Windows Start, I’ll have to make my own shortcut, thank you!

[daring stump]

Going back to the Enspelled thing, it doesnt have a way to add what said spell is to the item, so how would you go about adding that to your sheet?

[sage compass]

you might need to make a custom feat that gives you the spell then add that to your character

[uneven lantern]

I'd make a homebrew copy of that item and then add the spell to it.

[analog hazel]

Hey can someone help me with a npc monster character sheet? I thought I typed it in correctly but I did not

[uneven lantern]

In what way is it incorrect?

[patent viper]

my friend needs help setting up a campaign through ddb on mobile

[uneven lantern]

They'll have to create the campaign and invite players through the website. After that, it should be viewable in the app.

[analog hazel]

So I can't roll through the character sheet

[uneven lantern]

It’s not possible to roll for monsters on a character sheet.

[analog hazel]

sorry stat block

[uneven lantern]

You'd need to use [rollable] tags for that.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/106856-adding-rollable-tags-to-your-homebrew-monsters-for

When editing the monster, there's a button in the toolbar you can use as well.

[analog hazel]

They are already in there but on the block it says [rollable] and doesn't let me roll

[uneven lantern]

Can you send the full text for that action, then? With the tags included?

[analog hazel]

Flail. Melee Weapon Attack: [rollable]+7 to hit, reach 5ft., one creature. Hit 13rollable blugeoning damage.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that's not gonna work.

[analog hazel]

exactly what it says in the block

[uneven lantern]

Flail. Melee Weapon Attack: [rollable]+7;{"diceNotation":"1d20+7", "rollType":"to hit", "rollAction":"Flail"}[/rollable] to hit, reach 5ft., one creature. Hit 13 [rollable](2d8+4);{"diceNotation":"2d8+4", "rollType":"damage", "rollAction":"Flail", "rollDamageType":"blugeoning"}[/rollable] blugeoning damage.

Again, I'd recommend using that toolbar button for this.

Just highlight the text you want to tag and hit the little calculator button at the end of the toolbar.

[analog hazel]

well it worked for [rollable]+7 to hit, but not the other part

I got it! Thank you so much spamandtuna!

[fiery pawn]

so when i pick things for dnd it dosent give me the dropdown foer the extra info, i dont really know how to explain it without a screenshot

its doing this with other subclasses

okj

[rocky patrol]

I am returning to D&D after about 20 years. I am disabled and don't leave my house unless it's to go to the doctor. That said, a couple of questions. First, what is getting me back into D&D is my buddy stopped playing and gave me a copy of his 2014 PHB and DMG. Is there a way to incorporate these books into D&D Beyond without paying for them, considering I already own them. Finally, I was wondering is the 2014 rules are still viable considering 2024 changed them, a lot from what I hear. Thanks in advance

[dapper gazelle]

Unfortunately not automatically. One has to manually type in for things not owned in a digital format.

(Exception being if someone you know has it digitally and one is a master tier subscriber, you can use their campaign for making the character.)

[junior cave]

hi i just made a lvl 1 druid with prof in nature and +1 to int, but it says +6 to checks instead of +3, does anyone know why that is?

it's also prof in religion but that's +3, which i assume is what's supposed to happen

[fading bramble]

2024 Druids can add their Wisdom modifier to Arcana and Nature if their Primal Order is Magician

[junior cave]

oh, i did magician yes, i should check if arcana also has +6

i thought you could only pick one though...

[fading bramble]

it would be +4 if you arent proficient in Arcana

[junior cave]

it is, thanks for the help :D

[fading bramble]

np

[junior cave]

also, half of the feats are unavailable for me to add to my character :\

is this because i haven't purchased anything online?

(or at all i guess)

[hybrid nova]

The free rules only come with a handful of Feats

[edgy oriole]

?books

[loud sedge]

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)

[hybrid nova]

Also, most are only available at level 4+

[junior cave]

oh i mean i've edited another character and i was selecting their feat

they're level 5

but only the origin feats appear (and the firearm one for some reason)

not even all the origin feats my bad

[fading bramble]

do you have any of the other books on DnDBeyond?

[junior cave]

no :(

[maiden swift]

Apologies if this is internal and can't be answered, but I've heard that Obojima released their 2024 update recently. Is there any word on when/how that's going to be distributed from this side of things?

[edgy oriole]

Yes - if you don't own the books where that material comes from or are in a campaign with content sharing enabled that has access to that material, you are limited to what comes in the free rules/SRD.

[hybrid nova]

No way to know that until it comes out in Beyond our they announce when it will hit beyond.

[edgy oriole]

No idea if it's coming to DnDBeyond and if so, when.

[maiden swift]

Ahh, last I heard they said from their side that Beyond had been given the files and were in talks so I just didn't know if anything came of that yet.

I don't think there was an announcement when Crooked Moon got 2014 support so I wasn't sure if that would happen here either.

[edgy oriole]

I suspect it will come to DnDBeyond but nothing has been announced

[hybrid nova]

It's possible there will be an article when it comes out, but definitely not before.

[junior cave]

so if someone from my campaign has the materials, i can select a feat from the book they own?

[fading bramble]

Yeah, if they have content sharing on as well

[edgy oriole]

Yes if someone in that campaign has an active Master Tier subscription and has enabled content sharing on that campaign.

[reef finch]

Homebrew feat isn't adding resistances to character sheet when I put them under Modifiers. Am I setting these up wrong?

[dense viper]

It could be you aren't waiting long enough after making a change for it to show on the character sheet.

Try hitting the big main save button at the very top of the homebrew then waiting around 15mins before checking your character sheet

[reef finch]

thanks

[naive lodge]

We are unable to help with payment issues.

Have you gotten the trial for DND beyond premium yet?

Gives access to community homebrew stuff for use in campaigns and character sheets

I went through and added a bunch of homebrew feats for curse of strahd campaign were starting today

[magic onyx]

I need help with a bug. Ive just been messing around with charater creator and noticed that the maneuvers and other similar drop down options like fighting styles no longer give a drop down description. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue that popped up a couple days ago.

It’s been passed along to the devs already.

[magic onyx]

Thanks

[devout ravine]

So is there a setting on DND beyond for the print out character sheets so the text willl all fit in the boxes?

[junior cave]

i haven't used the trial yet, but i can work with the feats i've been given atm

[weary trout]

Same for Warlock for pact boon and eldritch invocations. Something’s broken

[reef locust]

My player is using desktop version of dnd beyond and none of his numbers or stats or even skills are showing all blank

[buoyant lichen]

Can I increase this number through homebrew

[maiden swift]

Can you build off of the Extra Attack feature, or invocations? Both of those can raise that number.

[buoyant lichen]

I tried that

Through a feat for more extra attack

Wait what invocation does that?

Cuz I tried feat bonus extra attack value 4

Didn't work

Maybe I can brute force it by adding invocations

@maiden swift

[uneven lantern]

I’d try making a homebrew copy of a subclass with Extra Attack, like Bladesinger or College of Swords.

Then you can peek inside and see how it was set up.

[maiden swift]

2024 Warlock has one that raises attacks with the Pact weapon per turn from 2 to 3

[dapper gazelle]

IIRC, this is often a result of using Microsoft Edge PDF functionality.

Can they try a different browser or use the free Adobe Reader?

[devout ravine]

Any ideas on the words on the printed sheets not fitting?

[vivid mica]

Has been mentioned that the hover trait hover doesn't appear on maps
When looking at the stat blocks in the combat tray?

[dapper gazelle]

I do not recall that problem from previous support discussions in here.

I would suggest trying a different browser or Adobe PDF as well here as that type of output sounds like something that would route through PDF functionality. But as I said, I would be guessing.

Perhaps one of the Wizards folks will know more when they are around.

[devout ravine]

Yeah I have the paid version of Adobe so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong just will have to keep investigating

[wanton garnet]

heya my friend is wanting to use a homebrew race for a one-shot I will be running for her and some friends. We are making the character sheet on my account but when i try to add the homebrew race its not showing up in the list of available choices. I have added the race to my collection, i have homebrew ticked when going to make the character and im currently on the free trial for the Master Tier. Im out of ideas and any help would be really nice, thank you

[dense viper]

It can sometimes take around 15mins for homebrew to show up on the character builder after hitting the main save button

[wanton garnet]

its been a day

[loud drift]

Just in case: was the homebrew built based on 2014 rules or 2024,and is the character being built under the same ruleset?

[wanton garnet]

that could be it. the homebrew was made in 2022 and the character is being made with 2024

[loud drift]

It's one of those funny things that you don't think will affect it because of how much "old" stuff still shows up, but homebrew can act differently sometimes.

[wanton garnet]

that makes sense. Im gonna try and recreate it then and see if that does it

[uneven lantern]

If it's in your collection and Homebrew is enabled, I'd expect it to be there. 🤔

Rules version shouldn't matter here.

Which species are you trying to use? Can you share a link to it?

[wanton garnet]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/species/904564-mushroomfolk

[wanton garnet]

weird

oh well, managed to get the character we wanted so hopefully we have good time with it. My first time dming so hoping it goes well

[loud drift]

rule #1: have fun

[devout ravine]

Does anyone know if how you save the file will mess with the box size

[finite epoch]

I'm trying to put my campaign's homebrew item into DNDBeyond so I can use it on my character sheet, and I'm having trouble with letting it use multiple charges to upcast a homebrew spell. I can't see anything I did wrong according to the instructions, but despite having a minimum charge use of 1 and a maximum charge use of 3, the spell only appears in my character's spell list at level 1 for 1 charge.

[uneven lantern]

How many charges does the item itself have?

[finite epoch]

6

[uneven lantern]

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

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

[finite epoch]

Ahhhhh

Okay I'll give it some time to see

Supposing that doesn't work though, what's another likely explanation?

...Yeah still not working.

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Show Level-Scaled Spells enabled in your character settings?

[loud drift]

I've tried the only 2 methods that I'm aware of and ended up with the same looking pdf, no issues with the text. There could be a possibility of the browser used to download it interfering?

[finite epoch]

Yes, I see upcast options for all other spells.

[devout ravine]

I’m using chrome it’s like cutting the text boxes in half or more on others

[edgy oriole]

Chrome's PDF renderer may have issues compared to Acrobat Reader

[finite epoch]

Okay, new clue: I set it to min charges 1, max charges 3, and changed spell level to 3. That resulted in it being only available to cast at level 3, but instead of being 2d8+5 upcast to add an extra 1d8 to be 3d8+5... it shows as a level 3 spell that does 3d8+5.

Does that give any hint to what I did wrong?

...Okay that's weird, even at level 1 it says it only does 1d8+5 (my wisdom mod)

I explicitly put 2d8 for the base damage, it shows as 2d8. The only place it can be getting 1d8 from is the upcasting dice increase, but I looked at fireball to make sure I put the upcasting in right, I shouldn't have done anything wrong there.

[uneven lantern]

Oh, this is a homebrew spell?

The spell itself probably isn’t set to scale correctly, then.

[finite epoch]

I added a higher level set up exactly like fireball's

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of where you set that up?

[finite epoch]

Sure:

[uneven lantern]

And back on the main screen under Basic Information, is the “At Higher Levels Scaling?” box checked?

Did you select a Higher Level Scaling Type?

[finite epoch]

Yes to the first, spell level to the second.

[uneven lantern]

Try Spell Scale instead.

[finite epoch]

Ahhhhh

[uneven lantern]

Spell Scale handles the “For every level above X” kinds of spells.

Spell Level handles things like “At level X, it does…”

[finite epoch]

Made the changes, now I gotta wait to see what the new results are when beyond updates

[uneven lantern]

So the one entry you had was only applying at level 1.

[loud drift]

spam is so smart, I wonder what you've homebrewed to learn all of this

[finite epoch]

So, that seems to have correctly made level 1 do 2d8+5. May still be a delay in updating, but I still don't see upcasts available.

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, most of what I’ve learned has been by helping other people with their own problems.

[finite epoch]

Thanks for your help Spam. Hopefully it'll just take a few mins to do the rest.

...Impaling bramble still isn't showing up as an upcast option at levels 2 or 3

[uneven lantern]

What happens if you assign it through a class instead of an item?

[finite epoch]

It shows up legitimately on my spell list when I prepare it as a druid, and the dice values check out.

[uneven lantern]

Alright, so the spell itself works, then…

Which means any remaining problem must be on the item’s side.

[finite epoch]

Here's what I put

[edgy oriole]

I'm seeing Beyond20 extension in your screenshot. Try it without that extension enabled. I wonder if it's interfering with things.

[finite epoch]

That might be a problem, I use that to interface with the campaign this is for.

Wait okay suddenly it's working now.

No idea why

Everything's working, 1c at 1, 2c at 2, 3c at 3, all displaying correct dice values

(I didn't turn off the extension, to be clear, it just happened just now for some reason)

[edgy oriole]

Or server caching again lol

[finite epoch]

Well whatever happened, thanks for your help everyone!

You can use and share homebrewed content in a DnDBeyond campaign without needing a Master Tier subscription and Content Sharing

well im in a campaign with one of my friends whos sharing a majority of the content books and im not seeing any of the content popping up whenever i create a character

Someone in a campaign needs to have a subscription to share anything other than homebrew.

[edgy oriole]

But to share your books in a DnDBeyond campaign, someone in the campaign will need an active Master Tier subscription and the DM/owner of the DNDBeyond campaign will need to enable content sharing

[hybrid nova]

Doesn't necessarily need to be you or the person with the content, even.

If it's enabled and you're not seeing it, have the person that is sharing toggle it off and on. That will usually refresh it and make it work again.

[willow folio]

ive already asked them to do that, that hasnt fixed it either

[hybrid nova]

If that doesn't work, make sure your entitlements are in sync.

[willow folio]

okay it just decided to work again randomly

after swapping pages over and over

[hybrid nova]

That was probably the entitlements syncing on the backend.

It does it automatically every so often, but can be manually triggered by hitting the sync button.

Do you have Hardware Acceleration enabled in your browser settings? You’ll need that on.

Not sure who hosts these channels here... is anyone actually from DD Beyond? IF so - has something changed with the algorithims for dice rolling. I have had two sessions this week where no one could barely roll over 8. Advantage rolls with two ones.... etc. I've used the tool for a couple years, but Sunday and Monday night the dice rolls were uncharacteristically low.

[hybrid nova]

I wouldn't rely on a session or two as actual data. Hot and Cold Streaks are just as possible with real dice as with digital ones...

[lilac totem]

6 players 8 hours.... almost every roll under 8. Mathematically HIGHLY unlikely. but just sharing some thoughts. Will see how this Sunday goes for sure.

[uneven lantern]

No one here can say definitively whether there's been a change or not.

But they've said before that they track the result of every roll from every user in every game.
