[unreal cipher]

yeah content sharing's enabled and i only use the web browser

[uneven lantern]

You need to have purchased it, or have your character assigned to a campaign where it’s shared with you.

You need to have Mage Hand Press enabled for that character.

And then you just select it like you would any other class.

I think something is wrong with my account. On the forums I can view the main forum page and list of posts but if I click a post I get 403 Forbidden error. Has started within last 13 mins, I have no active bans - not even any points towards such. Happens regardless of browser, device, extensions disabled, etc. If I view when not logged in or using my test account everything is fine, it's only my logged in account.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll probably need to contact customer support for that one.

[night shale]

has anyone noticed that under Rogue, the Arachnoid Stalker does not have any levels associated with the abilities? it looks like you get them all at level 3, but if you go into the book it clearly lists the levels.

[uneven lantern]

When you say "under Rogue", are you referring to the Rogue class page?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/2190883-rogue#ArachnoidStalker

[night shale]

yes

[uneven lantern]

Thanks. I'll pass that on to the devs for review.

[night shale]

if you look next to titles of the abilities there is no level listed

welcome!

[short tiger]

I have done. Since they can take a while to get back to me, and I am not actually showing as having any bans, do I have permission to post under my test account until this is sorted?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, go for it.

[short tiger]

Thank you!

[reef locust]

I’ve tried to watch videos on homebrewing a race in dnd beyond but it never saves the race and says I didn’t put in all the information although I did any ideas why it isn’t working or is this a paid thing?

[edgy oriole]

1. Please don't ever publish homebrew until it's been thoroughly tested and you're good with that version existing forever. You can use unpublished homebrew in your games and campaign without publishing it. Publishing is only for making it available to the entire DnDBeyond community outside of your personal DnDBeyond campaigns to access and use it. Once published, it is extremely rare for it ever to be removed because folks might be using it in their games.
2. Double check all the fields - maybe there's one that is required before publishing.
3. Often it's best to make a copy of an existing race/spell/item/subclass and work from that.

[reef locust]

How do I keep it from being published?

[edgy oriole]

Don't hit the publish button. Just use the save button.

[reef locust]

Alright thanks

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific? What happens when you try to save, exactly? Where is it saying you didn’t put all information? What information?

[reef locust]

When I try to save it ends up saying it’s missing information but I’ve all boxes and such filled

[uneven lantern]

Could you share a screenshot?

[wispy aspen]

Hello, I'm trying to make a custom attack for a third party magical weapon. How do I manually add in a bonus to the attack roll?

The "fixed value" slot only adds to the damage roll.

Wait, maybe because it was coming up as a spell for some reason.

Nope, still can't seem to affect the attack roll even as a weapon.

[crystal urchin]

If you're making a custum action I don't know how to change the BTH on that, but if it's a weapon you can just get a normal non-magic weapon and modify that, change the name and all the bonuses and that should work, otherwise you might need to go to the proper homebrew section and make it there.

[lime crater]

melee attack and damage rolls via one click seems to be broken again, any work arounds apart from rolling everything separately?

[uneven lantern]

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

[lime crater]

Sorry, the last update to DNDbeyond broke the beyond20 auto rolls. Will have to wait for b20 to fix it again. Thanks!

[strong osprey]

Ik this isnt a ddb issue but a beyond20 issue, it seems like i cant attack roll with my weapon from my character sheet into my vtt of choice?

it just brings up the description and info about it

does anyone know any fixes?

all spells, checks, everything works except attack rolls

[edgy oriole]

DnDBeyond doesn't support Beyond20 - your best bet is to get with the extension's developer and see what's happening and what their plans are for addressing it.

[strong osprey]

is there any beyond20 alternatives to ddb integration to roll20

[edgy oriole]

No - DnDBeyond (owned by Wizards of the Coast) and Roll20 are two separate businesses

Or I should say I am not aware of any

But again, two separate business

[strong osprey]

yep

i was just wondering if there are any alternatives to what beyond20 does

[loud drift]

it would be a better question for the roll20 community rather than the ddb support

[mystic lily]

Hi there. So I updated my billing cycle to Semi-annually for several times, used the same payment card as before and it only assumed 1 single monthly subscription. How should I proceed? (Note I updated it several times and clicked on "update" after being shown how much it would be charged today and then in march.
I updated early because the subscription was up 'til september 11th.)

[edgy oriole]

[viral nest]

I am having issues updating / adding payment. I have submitted a ticket and got a general FAQ email back that does not help or address the problem at hand. Is there a known problem right now? When trying to add payment the CC # field is blank and I am unable to type in anything. Tried doing so on PC and mobile with same results. Updating payment on an order is giving me an error; “Error: Failed to load the PayPal JS SDK script. BraintreeError: Cannot contact the gateway at this time.” On PC and mobile as well. Any idea what to do? It’s been a problem since Thursday.

[edgy oriole]

Sorry to hear that this was not resolved. You may need to create a new customer service ticket and provide the info like you just did here, and emphasize that you are unable to add the CC # and you're getting those error messages. Before doing that though, try it with a browser without any extensions. Some extensions like ad blockers, VPN, or things that interact with DnDBeyond can interfere with normal functionality. But yes, if that doesn't work, please follow up with customer support again.

[loud drift]

replying to the ticket/email will also get someone to take a look at it further, as opposed to starting a new ticket which moves you back to the end of the line so to speak

[viral nest]

Thanks I will try replying first, the issue is I provided all information in my initial ticket. It just got glossed over it seems. Thanks for speedy response.

[mystic badge]

So I was trying to check which fiends were demons on the DnD Beyond App (Android Version) for Summon Greater Demon, I put the criteria in, CR : 4-5, Type : Fiend, and I'm greeted with this.

I can't turn off the filter, and when restart the app and try to go back to the monster section of "listings", I'm greeted with the exact same screen.

[rose shell]

Can confirm. This locks you out of the Monster Listing permanently, at least on android v2.79 (21414).
Closing app, logging out and/or using another account don't help.
Uninstalling the app did help but requires you to download all books again. Thats almost 10GB for me (I have access to most, if not all books)

[mellow oriole]

I was creating a Rogue using Beyond and noticed that I could only get Expert in the Rogue skills.
Same for Bard.
Is this correct or can we assign Expertise to any known skill or tool that the character is proficient with?

[uneven lantern]

What other proficiencies does your character have? From where?

The History and Stealth from my background and the Religion from my species show up as expected:

[pearl skiff]

so I bought the Explores to Wildemount book on DnD Beyond and I cant see any of the subclasses. I checked my entitlements and it says it is already synced. please help.

[fading bramble]

Critical Role has not allowed the content from Wildemount to be allowed with 2024 rules

[pearl skiff]

is there a work around on the app or am i screwed?

[fading bramble]

Not on the app, but you can recreate it for the 2024 classes using the homebrew system on the website version

[pearl skiff]

ok thanks for the info appreciate it

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, if you make a homebrew copy of the 2014 subclass, you can see exactly how it was set up.

Then you can just do all the same things in a new 2024 subclass.

It’s a little tedious, but pretty easy. Probably 5-10 minutes of effort each.

Alternatively, you can just switch to the 2014 class.

Or speak to the folks at Critical Role and let them know you’d like those added for the 2024 one.

[mellow oriole]

All of a sudden when I reopened Beyond and looked at my character, It's working like you are showing.
Weird.

Thank you.

[mystic lily]

This may explain why I had issues updating my billing cycle yesterday, if there is an actual problem going on.

[rotund oak]

Is there a way to get the fillable text font in the character sheet PDF export to be reduced? I'm finding that for each damage type and notes line for webbing attacks, it cuts off the texts about halfway because the font is too big. And I can't find a way in browser to reduce the size.

The export is also breaking all of my backstory lines in a way that doesn't match with how it shows in the digital sheet or Creator section. It looks horribly formatted for some reason and I can't seem to find a way to fix that

[viral nest]

Have you been successful since? I been at it since Thursday without much luck. I was told to simply cancel the order and reorder with new CC but that seems like a strange way around it.

[mystic lily]

My issue was I couldn't change the billing cycle from monthly to semi-annual. It let me, I left the moneyt sitting pretty on my bank account and then got charged the monthly one. I got an email saying this:

[mystic lily]

yeah if you do that they'll have to refund you.

[mystic lily]

I can't even find this ticket number in my requests. LOL, what

[edgy oriole]

Don't the emails you get from customer support request provide a ticket number?

[mystic lily]

Yeah, which leads me to a page that says:

[short tiger]

Are you logged in to the Wizard support portal when trying to view it?

[mystic lily]

Also, just asking, but are you guys also form the customer support team, or just mods here? I am very much not pleased. Just wanting to know, I won't be rude but I am upset, and the customer support doesn't seem or feel intuitive to new users (my case)

[edgy oriole]

We are just moderators - we do not have access to the backend systems/views customer support has.

[mystic lily]

To the far end right side it shows the user icon and my name and I can access the requests I've made, so yeah

[mystic lily]

Thank you for confirming.

I just sent a reply email stating I cannot see the ticket.

[mystic lily]

(btw I don't mean to come across as rude or all high and mighty - I am just frustrated with the situation)

[edgy oriole]

Understood!

[odd scarab]

everyone i know is having issues with clicking to-hit buttons, the vtt button is gone from dndbeyond etc. I've checked, this isnt a plug in issue as the rolls are ALSO not happening in the dndbeyond side (usually they would show in both places, but to-hit button just brings up the description of the item youre using in the side bar)

things like ability checks and saving throws and initiatve are uneffected, its specifically to-hit related things, i think. and the vtt button.

ppppplease x.x

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean by “the VTT button”? Are you using some extension that alters the normal behavior of the site? Does this issue happen with that extension disabled?

[odd scarab]

it does, yes. i turned the extension off and uninstalled it and it still happened

[uneven lantern]

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

[odd scarab]

yep. its very odd. its happening for literally everyone i know, have you guys not gotten other reports of this?

and its been this way for days btw, like before the weekend. but the first time i mentioned it, i was told it mussst be a beyond20 thing, so i went and undid beyond20 and its still happening so. idk

[sterile beacon]

Are there any pre-order bonuses for Heroes of the Borderlands?

[uneven lantern]

No

[uneven lantern]

I’ve seen a couple people mention it, but not many.

Works just fine for me.

[rotund oak]

Anyone here or the mods know any fixes for the exported PDF text being too large?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t know. I don’t really use the PDFs, but there’s definitely no setting on the site to adjust that.

But you might have more luck trying it in a dedicated PDF app like Adobe Acrobat.

[lime crater]

If you are still using B20, they haven't updated for chrome yet. Issues are discussed here https://github.com/kakaroto/Beyond20/issues

[odd scarab]

So why isn't it working when I have beyond twenty turned off and uninstalled?

[uneven lantern]

Maybe a caching issue from when it was on? Have you tried clearing your cache?

Or have you tried it in something like Chrome’s Incognito mode, which skips things like caching and extensions altogether?

[odd scarab]

ok

[coarse axle]

When I add spells to the Ritual Caster feat they don't show up on my spell list

I'm using 2024 rules on a level 5 druid

[rotund oak]

thank you! I don't have it so i'll just have to remember or write-in.

EDIT: Actually it looks like the actual export file works. The browser version shows them too large to fit the space, but when opening the actual file, and not having it be in browser, it looks better

[dapper gazelle]

For those that were having Beyond20 issues ...

Version 2.16.2 seems to correct the issue. You can check what version you have in the Extensions / Plugins section for your browser. An alternative is to remove the plugin and re-add it.

Note though that while Firefox had 2.16.2, Chrome still had 2.16.1 as of ~12h ago so one might need to use Firefox temporarily until Chrome gets updated.

-# not associated with D&D Beyond, Roll20, or Beyond20. Just suffered through the same problem last night and am sharing results.

[mystic lily]

Beyond20 issues?

[dapper gazelle]

It is a browser extension for linking D&D Beyond & Roll20. For people on PCs, but it might work on Mac Desktops as well. Third party product so while not directly supported here, a number of people were asking above so I shared what was needed to fix.

[mystic lily]

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for explaining.

[lusty void]

Is there a way to reorder the screens on the app? Say i want to have my spells after my actions screen

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

1. Click the section header to open the section menu.
2. Click Edit in the top right corner.
3. Press and hold on the right side of any section to drag it to your desired location.
4. Click Done in the top right corner.

Whichever you put first will show as the default screen when you open your sheet.

[rustic blaze]

Hello what book must I buy on dnd beyond to use the hexblade warlock?

[eternal jungle]

Xanathar's Guide to Everything

[rustic blaze]

Ok thank you 🙂

[rustic blaze]

Question, is there a bundle pack or something that will allow me to unlock everything? Races, subclasses, spells, items etc. Just a one time payment and have everything so I dont have to buy individually?

[dire blade]

There used to be, but it has been done away with. Probably due to it being an obnoxious extra step to add every new release to it.

Well, it included all official sources anyway. Third-party sources were not included.

Some specific product types do have bundles associated with them (ie. Digital Anthology Bundle).

[rustic blaze]

Well thats unfortunate I would love a one and done so I just have access to everything

[dapper gazelle]

In fairness, with a lot less content, access tp everything was something like 600-700 $ local currency. With all the things released since then, I shudder to think what something like that would cost now.

[odd scarab]

Anyone else who was suffering with the ddb-roll20 no click issue, it's working now.

[hybrid nova]

You can probably cover most of it by just buying all the existing bundles.

Then fill in the rest by going to your library and clicking on anything not labelled as owned.

[turbid hound]

is there a way to make Species traits override class traits? i.e. make natural armor override barbarian unarmored defense

[uneven lantern]

Sort of? It will automatically use whichever value is higher.

But there’s not a way to explicitly disable the barb’s.

[livid estuary]

I just purchased Crooked Moon, and I'm excited to begin DMing this from my players. Excited and anxious, but excited. I've been using DND Beyond, but I haven't noticed when I've created characters that it's pulling in the novel races and sub classes and backgrounds. Are other people seeing this issue, do I need to home brew those?

[turbid hound]

I figured it out (I think) but thank you!

[loud drift]

make sure it's enabled in the 3rd party section of the home page of character creation, near the top should be a series of check boxes

[uneven lantern]

You need “Avantris Entertainment” enabled, specifically.

You might want to check if your entitlements are in sync as well.

?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.

[livid estuary]

yep that's on. When to entirements and Crooked moon the source book is there

But it should be working, right I'm just missing something?

[uneven lantern]

At the top, though, under Account Entitlements, does it say everything’s in sync?

[livid estuary]

yes

[loud drift]

if the box is checked and entitlements are in sync, then double check that they aren't listed close to the bottom of each drop down box

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of an option you’re not able to find, then?

[livid estuary]

Yes sure. When I select backgrounds only the core rule backgrounds come up, since I have switched off everything else but Avantris Entertainment

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to access this page?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/backgrounds/477325-amnesiac

[loud drift]

if you unchecked "expanded rules" under sources, try reenabling that one

[uneven lantern]

I wouldn’t expect Expanded Rules to fix this.

That should only cover official books.

[livid estuary]

I am able to access that page. Clicking expanded rules just added Baldur's gate backgrounds

[uneven lantern]

And just to make sure: back here under Current Product Licenses, which Crooked Moon was listed? Part 1 or Part 2?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[livid estuary]

part 2

[uneven lantern]

There’s the problem then.

All the character options are in Part 1,

[livid estuary]

ok so I have to purchase part one, I see

[uneven lantern]

Part 1 is their PHB. Part 2 is their DMG/MM.

If you’re able to access that background page above, Part 1 is probably being shared with you through one of your campaigns.

But any shared character options would only be usable in that campaign.

[livid estuary]

Thank you! I'll purchase part 1 also. I appreciate it!

[uneven lantern]

If they still don’t show up right away, I’d check the entitlements again to make sure they’re in sync.

But otherwise, yeah, that should solve it.

[livid estuary]

That did it, thank you!

[wooden prism]

I am building a sorcerer in DDB. For skills it says:

Skill Proficiencies Choose 2: Arcana, Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Persuasion, or Religion

But there are only five in the drop down menues. Insight is missing.

[dapper gazelle]

Sometimes if you have selected a skill previously, it may remove it from the list. Have you checked if you already have Insight from Background or Species?

[wooden prism]

Yes thank you I just realized that was the problem.

[spark cove]

With the transformations in the Grim Hollow player pack, is there a way to add them to the digital sheets in beyond, or is that just something you'll need to manually track?

[edgy oriole]

It's a limitation of DnDBeyond character sheet tools - at this time you'll need to either create a homebrew feat to track it or notes or manually track.

[spark cove]

Ah okay no worries, thank you! Hopefully it can be added in the future but tracking it manually should be fine

[lilac trout]

Should it really take longer than a couple seconds to receive an email after a purchase on the dndbeyond website?

I just want an email to confirm that my order has been placed 🙁

[uneven lantern]

Though it was on the UK sister site.

I took this screenshot hours ago... But when I go back to the website, all the stuff is still in my cart...

[dire blade]

Oh, well that's not DNDB and won't show up as Marketplace orders in DNDB. Any digital purchases from the sister site will email you a redemption key that you'll redeem within DNDB for the digital product(s) you purchased.

[lilac trout]

Guess I have to wait longer than...

[dire blade]

I also can't speak for how fast that email server works. I purchase personally direct only from DNDB, so it may have to process longer or something. I'd give it an hour and if nothing else you can email the sister site's support then.

[nimble oracle]

Why can't a player see the chronurgy spells from explorers guide to wildemounte?

I have it and sharing is enabled and they have sources enabled for their character

[sage compass]

have they checked there entailments are up to date and reloaded the web page for the character?

[nimble oracle]

Sources are enabled yep

[uneven lantern]

Per the rules, those spells are only available for the Chronurgy and Graviturgy subclasses from that book.

[nimble oracle]

They're using a 2024 homebrew class chonurgy wizard so that must be why

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that would do it.

I’d recommend adding a feature to the subclass.

Then adding an Additional Spell List to the feature that includes those spells.

[nimble oracle]

Okay! Will try that thanks so much for the suggestion 🙏🏼

I used an existing homebrew subclass. Does that mean I'd have to either a) add homebrew spells or b) make the subclass myself? I don't see any way to clone or edit the existing subclass (created by another user)

[buoyant lichen]

What the heck is this

[uneven lantern]

You could alternatively use a homebrew species or background to it.

Or make a homebrew copy of each spell and change its availability.

[uneven lantern]

This is part of the new Party Inventory feature that released today.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2050-new-party-inventory-hoard-treasure-together-on

All these plus another 23 species are available in Monsters of the Multiverse.
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/all-rulebooks/mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the-multiverse?pid=SRC-00085

Something in between 😅

Officially, they were written for the 2014 core rules, but they include a lot of the design changes seen in the 2024 ones.

As far as DDB goes, they’ll work for any character you create regardless of which version you’re using.

[buoyant lichen]

Cool! I like that

[lilac trout]

Works here 😄 Okay I am relieved now 😄

[loud drift]

when you first start to create a character you should see four squares with one of them titled Standard. At the bottom of that square is a box to check that says Beginner? Show help text turning that on will walk you through a lot of what goes into creating the character. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask around in #dnd-newcomers

[crisp nova]

How do you get rid of the bonus action, reaction and all that on a home brew monster as I don’t have anything written there but it has them on the stat block

[dire blade]

Can you paste screenshots of the monster in the homebrew editor as well as the monster itself? I've never seen that happen, and it's almost like you're looking at the wrong monsteer.

[dense viper]

Just make sure those text boxes are empty when you save your monster. Those boxes have filler text unless you clear it out.

[crisp nova]

I did there are no spaces in them no text or anything but they show up on the stat block

[crisp nova]

Here you go

[dire blade]

You likely have non-blocking spaces in your text blocks. See the </> icon? Click that on each of these and then empty out the resulting pop-up blocks. For the Mythic actions, you'll have to enable Mythic actions, do as I said above, then disable Mythic actions.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

Hi there,

I've join a campaign and im trying to create to select the echo subclass but it isnt showing up on my dnd beyond. Only the book ive purchased but not the shared content. My dm has the book shared with me and sharing is enabled and ive downloaded the book

[torn crystal]

Do you mean the Echo Knight? Make sure you're using a 2014 Fighter (it will say 2014 on it), as the Critical Role content hasn't been updated for 2024 yet and won't work with classes from the new core rulebooks.

[dull jasper]

Ahhhh okay

Tyyy

[ripe river]

Where do I learn what spell/feat are newly updated in the lastest update of Player Handbook in DDB?

I think there was an update few weeks ago

[uneven lantern]

They usually don’t say, but it probably wasn’t anything noteworthy anyway.

They might have fixed a typo or a link or something.

Or made a character sheet adjustment for something from the book.

[loud drift]

You have to scroll down in the options, they're towards the bottom

[lucid juniper]

why in the world did they change it from being a reasonable dropdown to being a stupid scroll bar

thank you for helping me

dndbeyond dumb changes strikes again

[dire blade]

I don’t think this changed, the list simply got long enough that it needed to follow very basic UX standards and have a scroll bar. You can disable stuff from the character and thus the list if you want to disable the scroll bar.

[lucid juniper]

it used to not limit itself to being that small, it used to just continue down as the screen allowed. now it only shows a few options and makes you scroll

[still stag]

Hi Im trying to make a lizardfolk Paladin. I didnt have the sourcebook to create the character on DND beyond so i bought Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse However Its not letting me select a lizardfolk as a race

[dense viper]

If you just bought it you may need to make sure your entitlements are in sync. That can be done here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses)

Also make sure expanded rules are turned on for your character

[gentle glacier]

@daring stump Not sure if you want to go to this much trouble, but you can create a homebrew uncommon magic club that has 6 charges, requires attunement, and grants you the Shillelagh spell. Is that what you're looking for?

[echo shuttle]

whenever I put a link from imgur to host the cover photo it doesn't show.. anyone got a fix?

[uneven lantern]

What link are you using?

[timid scroll]

Is there no way to select a feat when choosing "Custom Background" in character creation?

[dire blade]

Correct, there is not. That 'Custom Background' is for 2014, not 2024. You can homebrew a Background that behaves as the 2024 DMG suggests.

[eternal dome]

hey how can I report a bug about the ddb mobile app? it might be common and already acknowledged but I figured why not

[dire blade]

#ddb-feedback is probably the best place, but if it gets posted here a moderator is usually able to report it up all the same. There are some threads on the forums for this purpose as well, but they are less effective IMO at getting issues reported/resolved.

I have, depending on the nature of the bug, been able to get them reported/resolved via support ticket as well.

[timid scroll]

Ok, thank you.

[timid scroll]

Is there a way for me to actually see/read what the DMG suggest? lol

[fading bramble]

[timid scroll]

Sweet, ty. Is this for 2024?

Yes.

[uneven lantern]

You can manually add a feat when you get to the sheet itself by going to Features & Traits > Manage Feats.

According to this post (https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2027-welcome-back-to-the-table-d-ds-new-direction)
Master Tier Subs will be getting more customizability as DMs for the Maps tool on the 16th.

Has there been any information on what these options will be?

Run Your D&D Beyond Content on Maps—No Subscription Required
Starting September 16, in time with the release of Heroes of the Borderlands, all D&D Beyond registered users can run games on the Maps virtual tabletop (VTT) —no subscription required.

The core experience will be made available to everyone: If you own a map, module, or adventure on D&D Beyond, you can use it on Maps and invite your friends to play. Period.

Our Master Tier subscription will unlock more customizability for DMs who need it. You’ll be able to upload homebrew maps, custom tokens, and access exciting tools built just for you.

[uneven lantern]

It's there in that last sentence.

You'll need a Master Tier subscription to upload homebrew maps or custom tokens in Maps.

I'd assume "access exciting tools" is just referring to the fact that Master Tier subscribers also get early access to new tools in general.

I don't know whether that will apply to new Maps features specifically.

They've got a few Maps roadmap items listed on the Maps landing page, but I don't know if any of those will require a Master Tier subscription or not.

Coming to Maps in 2025:

• 3D DICE - Roll 3D dice in Maps
• REVEALS - Allow DMs to reveal custom art and handouts to players
• CAMPAIGN CONSOLE - Create and manage your campaigns directly in Maps
• RULES ASSISTANT - Ask rules questions and receive instant answers

[cursive pier]

Editing or creating a campaign gives me a 403 Forbidden error. I've tried clearing cache, cookies, and site settings to no avail. I'm on Windows 11 using Chrome. Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

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

Is it just a blank white screen, or one with a dragon image?

[timid scroll]

Is it possible to add conditional customizations to DnD Beyond? For example, to add a conditional to my speed as a Shifter that whenever I activate my Shifter ability, add 10ft?

[cursive pier]

I got it with Edge as well. It's just the blank screen. No dragon.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll probably need to contact customer support for that one, then.

[loud sedge]

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

[uneven lantern]

You’d first need some way to signal when it’s active.

Either way, you’ll need to use the homebrew system.

You could do it as part of the species itself, by adding an Option to the feature.

Inside there, you’d add a Modifier to increase the speed.

• Type: Bonus
• Subtype: Speed
• Fixed Value: 10

Then on the character sheet, you’d click on the feature and use the sidebar to select that Option and activate the ability, or unselect it to deactivate.

Alternatively, you could set it up as a homebrew magic item with the same modifier.

Then on the sheet, you’d equip or unequip the item instead.

[timid scroll]

Thank you, that was very helpful.

[echo shuttle]

A link through Imgur?

Or does that not work…

[pine solar]

Hey it's my first time being a dungeon master and I need help setting up my quest to make it fun fair and making it perfect for everyone

It wasn't even funny way to make good storytelling just asking for help

[uneven lantern]

Sure, but which one?

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #dm-discussion can lend a hand with that!

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

[woeful raft]

can someone help me publish a subclass bc i want to show it to people in hombrew but it wont let me

[uneven lantern]

What class is it for?

[woeful raft]

fighter

[uneven lantern]

For Fighters, you’ll need at least one Granted feature each at levels 3, 7, 10, 15, and 18.

When you’ve got that, try hitting the main save button again to revalidate.

Note that once your subclass is published, you won’t be able to edit it.

So make sure it’s finished and playtested and working as intended first.

[woeful raft]

dont worry about the it being published bc i can just make a copy. Its mainly for myself. I wanted to publish it so other people could view it and give some advice. Im struggling on what i should do for the 18th ability

[uneven lantern]

Please don’t publish anything unfinished.

[woeful raft]

Oh I did it sorry. It was the easiest way to show people my character build

[uneven lantern]

I’d just put the text in a Google doc and share that.

[balmy temple]

Can anyone knowledgeable tell me if I get Upside Down Digital Dice Set and Upside Down Digital Map and Sticker Pack if I buy only Stranger Things Welcome to the Hellfire Club Digital? It's unclear from the market description.

[woeful raft]

is their anyway to remove it now?

[uneven lantern]

Nope

Can’t be edited. Can’t be removed.

Once you publish it, it lives forever as-is.

[woeful raft]

damn 😔

[uneven lantern]

Don’t sweat it. Happens all the time. 😅

Just please keep it in mind for the future.

[uneven lantern]

Those are available only with the Ultimate Bundle.

[balmy temple]

Okay, thank you 🙂

[echo shuttle]

Are you asking to see the link?

[slim rivet]

can you share older books on the dms guild with a master ddb subscription

like 3.5

[edgy oriole]

No - DnDBeyond (owned by D&D) and DMsGuild (owned by OneBookShelf or whatever they've named themselves - and who also own Roll20) are different companies.

Other than DMsGuild having a license to sell official D&D products, there is no connection.

[slim rivet]

i read that you can connect ddb to the dms guild

[edgy oriole]

Need a citation for that but even then, I can, as an official moderator on the official D&D Discord, state that there is no connection between the two separate companies

I mean DnDBeyond doesn't even support D&D 3.5

You Master Tier subscription on DnDBeyond does not provide any benefits on DMsGuild

Your DMsGuild purchases do not in any way give you anything on DnDBeyond

[slim rivet]

oh ok i was wondering if there is a way to share a purchased book on dms guild

[edgy oriole]

Not other then sharing information with folks at your table like you would with a rgular physical book.

[slim rivet]

so you can’t post a link in a discord server

[edgy oriole]

You can but it needs to be an appropriate link and follow server rules

Oh you mean share a link to the book in Discord?

[slim rivet]

also i saw something about maps becoming available for all tiers of subscribers is that true

[slim rivet]

yes

[edgy oriole]

That gets into legal question territory so ultimately up to you, your legal jurisdiction, and lawyer to decide.

[edgy oriole]

I don't see anything about that - what's here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/games) and here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog) is the laetst info

[slim rivet]

i mean just with our group not all of discord

[edgy oriole]

Still a matter of legal interpretation - I'd check the license agreement on your DMsGuild product and check with legal professional if you have any further questions.

[slim rivet]

thank you for the help

[edgy oriole]

You're welcome!

[uneven lantern]

Starting Sept. 16th, you'll be able to use Maps for any books you own on DDB, with or without a subscription.

A Master Tier subscription will still let you do more, like upload your own maps.

Any easy fixes for this?

Do I have to set my location to my actual location?

I did that

But I've seen people online mostly complain about this issue that are outside of the US

Or is there any 3rd party seller that sells keys for example but endorsed by WotC

Like DriveTrhuRPG or anything

[scenic thicket]

Is it true that D&D Beyond is in error in the information provided for the cantrip True Strike to includ your spellcasting modifier to the roll for additional damage for level 5 and above? It shows me my additional damage would be 1d6+4 - but it should just be 1d6, correct? If this is an error, will this bug be fixed soon?

[loud drift]

what class and subclass are you playing as? sometimes those have features that interact with spell damage

[uneven lantern]

It’s not wrong, per se…

It includes all known parts of the attack.

[scenic thicket]

?

[uneven lantern]

To cast True Strike, you need to know three things.

The level of the spell, your spellcasting ability, and the weapon’s damage die.

It includes the first two in the roll, because it can determine those.

It does not include the weapon’s damage die, because it can’t determine that.

[scenic thicket]

I'm seeing this with 3 different character classes - Artificer, Wizard and Bard. I understand what you are saying about what comprises the True Strike attack. But when I pull up the info on the Cantrip - not looking at the True Strike additional information listed in a melee weapon writeup, the damage for TS is showing as 1d6 + my spell modifier. See below from my Level 10 wizard.

[uneven lantern]

Right

[uneven lantern]

If you were using, say, a dagger…

The total damage would be 1d6+5+1d4, correct?

If it was a one-handed quarterstaff, then it’s 1d6+5+1d6.

A two-handed quarterstaff would be 1d6+5+1d8.

[scenic thicket]

Yes, but in DDB, when I make the attack, DDB calculates the damage for the dagger as 1d4+5 ... then I go to the cantrip box to roll the additional damage for being above level 5 ... so I need that to be just 1d6, not 1d6+5.

[uneven lantern]

Nah, I get it. That’s not how I have my own sheet set up either.

I’ve added a second copy of the weapon, and customized it to match my spellcasting ability (and have no weight/cost).

[scenic thicket]

I'll be honest, I'm usng Beyond20 to make these 2 rolls ... having the incorrect info displayed causes an additional +5 damage. My character likes that, not so much my DM. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

And then customized the spell to remove the spellcasting ability.

But what they have still isn’t wrong, even if it’s not my preferred set up.

[scenic thicket]

And yes, I do what you are saying - custom build the weapon (which is mandatory for a ranged weapon which DDB doesn't even offer TS damage options. Or build Roll20 macros to do the math.

[uneven lantern]

But yeah, if you open the Customize section here, you can add -5 damage to cancel that out.

[scenic thicket]

And I do say wrong because if many new userrs would take the information at face value and add +5 to both the weapon damage and the spell damage. This is misleading. Given it's been a year since the 2024 True Strike cantrip was released, it would be nice if the D&D tool that we subscribe to use would work better and not allow users to roll incorrect damage values.

I shouldn't have to customize the basic spell info, In My Opinion.

[uneven lantern]

What they have isn’t incorrect, though.

It’s just a different approach.

[scenic thicket]

I'm going to stop here because I don't think you and I will agree. I see some of your point but I don't agree that showing spell mod damage for what is supposed to be the spell damage part of the two-part attack is correct (in my opinion). But appreciate the exchange. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Oh, I agree, which is why I changed my own sheet.

[elder salmon]

I have a question about using the dnd beyond app that I've been curious about for a few weeks since my party has started using it for our games

[uneven lantern]

But I’m not the one setting up the spell, so… 😅

[elder salmon]

So on the great weapon fighting style or other feats that alter die rolls or impact damage and hit, does the app automatically account for this or do i have to be diligent and account for them after the roll?

[uneven lantern]

That has to be adjusted manually.

[elder salmon]

Okay is that for all of them or just certain feats and styles?

[uneven lantern]

Dueling adds its bonus automatically, for one.

[elder salmon]

Lmfao literally was typing a question for that

[uneven lantern]

But broadly speaking, anything that changes the number on a die after the die was rolled won’t be accounted for.

GWF, Reliable Talent, etc.

[elder salmon]

Okay so I am to assume any that add like +2 to hit or attack or ac do so automatically but ones that account for after the dies have been rolled i have to be diligent on

[uneven lantern]

Pretty much, yeah

[elder salmon]

Ok ty

[scenic thicket]

Note, if you use the Beyond20 extension in your browser, that WILL take additions to damage from your feats, racial abilities, etc into account - most automatically, others you can enable/disable before rolling. Your choice. You don't have to use Beyond20, but if you are playing online learning about this extension will vastly improve your enjoyment of game play. Just wanted to make mention of its existence - understand if may not apply to your situation.

[thorn sandal]

Additional disclaimer that Beyond20 will often cause issues and bugs with the character sheet, to the extent that one of our number one troubleshooting steps when people have problems is asking them to disable extensions and seeing if that fixes the problem

[candid parrot]

hey, I bought the dungions of drakkenheim and subastion crows modules on foundry, but I can't access any of the book on Dnd Beyound? am I just out of luck?

[dense viper]

If you just bought it you may need to make sure your entitlements are in sync. That can be done here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses)

[uneven lantern]

Buying things on Foundry won’t give you access on D&D Beyond.

Much like buying things on Playstation won’t give you access on Xbox.

Oh I didnt see that part of their message

[candid parrot]

crap./

so I'm out of luck then?

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking Foundry about their refund policy.

[daring stump]

So I made a 2024 paladin subclass, i want to port it back to 2014 version, is there an easy way to do that or do I have to make it from scratch all over again?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to remove the existing class and add the other one instead.

[daring stump]

I dont think I can remove it as its published so ill just have to make a copy.

[uneven lantern]

Ah, I misunderstood. 😅

But yeah, there’s no way to change the class a subclass was made for.

[daring stump]

The only bad this is after publishing it, i cant go in and see how I set up the class features behind the scenes.

[uneven lantern]

I think there’s an option to create a new version that would give you an editable copy again.

But I don’t ever publish my stuff, so I’m not sure how to go about it. 😅

[daring stump]

Yeah thats what i did and just taking the back data from it

Why does making CD so difficult for subclass paladin

[wispy aspen]

Q: When choosing the Custom Background option in the character creator, why don't my chosen skills show up on my sheet?

[dense sentinel]

How can I make

Wizard, Sorcerer, or Bard level 7 or higher
a requirement for a homebrew feat?

Multiple prerequisites in one prerequisite thingy, or multiple prerequisites in multiple prerequisite thingies?

Is this how I should do that?

Or does this make it "wizard or INT 19" instead of what I want, "wizard and INT 19", "bard/sorc and CHA 19",

[uneven lantern]

What you’ve got there is wizard and INT 19.

Buuuut I’m not sure why you’re checking INT if the goal is to check their level.

[uneven lantern]

Anyway, you’d need to add a level prerequisite there as well, if you want to enforce all three at once.

Then go back and add a whole separate one for Bard/Level/Cha.

And then again for Sorcerer.

[hybrid nova]

Just to clarify what spam said, prerequisites entered inside the same entry are "and" requirements, while separate entries are "or" requirements.

[uneven lantern]

Compare to Athlete, which is Level and (Str. or Dex.):

[wind aurora]

hey! im looking for help on dnd beyonds homebrew bit, ive made a speices and it has added lots of things about thaumaturgy on the character sheet that are nowhere in the builder

also if i try to edit that ability it just does this

[uneven lantern]

Had you made this by using an existing species as a template?

[ancient pivot]

I'm getting this page when I try to access the encounter builder - tried it on different browsers and also had my friends try it

samesies

[wind aurora]

i made it as a template from something so i could acces the small or medium bit, it doesnt shw up unless you go over another speices with it, but i checked all the snippets and descriptions and its not mentioned anywhere

[uneven lantern]

I'd try deleting that specific feature and rebuilding it from scratch.

[uneven lantern]

How did you get to this page?

Does this one work?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/encounter-builder

[ancient pivot]

Using the link in the top menu bar and no that direct link takes me to the same page

[dire blade]

I can confirm that same Page Not Found error with that link and nav from the home page.

[wind aurora]

mine is from the homebrew builder if i hit edit on anything

[uneven lantern]

Welp. Now it happened to me, too. 😅

I'll flag that with the devs.

[ancient pivot]

Oh no

[wind aurora]

can't even delete it 🙁

[uneven lantern]

That's probably a symptom of whatever else is going on.

[uneven lantern]

Did you go to Collections > My Encounters, or Tools > Encounters?

[dire blade]

Yes, seems like an outage. I'd let the devs tackle it sitewide first and revisit your homebrew later.

I can replicate the same Page Not Found with some homebrew editing as well.

Seems to be intermittent there.

[ancient pivot]

Tools > Encounters

[uneven lantern]

Does the other one work for you?

[dire blade]

It does, but specifically the "New Encounter" button on that page results in "Page Not Found"

Looks like it's just the New Encounter browser page that's down.

[ancient pivot]

It actually does! You may have saved the game tonight (or at least sped it up😂 )

[uneven lantern]

Should be fixed!
@wind aurora @ancient pivot @dire blade

[uneven lantern]

You'd have to open the book and download each image from there.

I'm afraid there's no all-in-one option.

[prisma steppe]

2014 spells not coming up properly in spells filter. When I choose 2014 source books as a filter it gives me zero results.

never mind. Figured it out.

[zenith ferry]

Just coming to confirm if it is a bug or if it is just that I have to add one manually. In the character builder if I select custom background it doesn't give an option for choosing an origin feat even though the 2024 character creation rules says one can chose an origin feat if a background doesn't come with one.

[uneven lantern]

That custom background option follows the 2014 rules.

[zenith ferry]

Right so does that mean I just have to add an origin feat manually if the champaign is using the 2024 rules

[dire blade]

You could do that, yes, or you could homebrew a 2024 background that has all the necessary parts and use that for your characters. I did this once and use it all over the place and it's really simplified the whole thing. Plus, doing it this way correctly attributes the gained origin feat to your Background (and gives the right Origin feat list in the builder). Your choice!

[zenith ferry]

Ah I see that sounds like a good idea.

[torpid grotto]

Hi, I would like a ticket ou permission to share my art comissions, is here where can I get it?

[edgy oriole]

No - this is for technical support with DnDBeyond tools and services. I already answered your question in #non-dnd-topics. You can advertise your D&D work (and that you're open for comissions) in #dnd-advertisements following the instructions I previuously sent.

[raw mortar]

Is the musician feat broken?

I can't find it in origin feats even though i currently have access to the 24 PHB

[hybrid nova]

It should show up fine.

Make sure "Core Rules" is turned on and your entitlements are in sync.

[raw mortar]

Ah, I see that I don't actually have access to 2024 stuff even though I can open the book for some reason

[loud drift]

it's probably shared with you through a campaign, but the character options in it can only be used on a character in that campaign

[frail lotus]

It works! Thanks!

[modern granite]

wondering if anyone can help, trying to make a character sheet on DnDBeyond. When I try and make a Wood Elf, it doesn't allow me to pick the subrace, that being said Im also trying to choose the bladeslinger subclass from Wizard, but in the drop down it only shows me the evoker sub class..

[uneven lantern]

If you selected the Elf under Core Rules (i.e. the one from the 2024 PHB), then they have a feature called Elven Lineage where you can choose Wood Elf.

If you’re looking for the original Wood Elf subrace from the 2014 PHB, you’ll need to scroll down to 2014 Core Rules to find it.

Or you can use the search bar and filters at the top of the page to narrow down your options.

For Bladesinger, you’ll need to have purchased either book it’s in (SCAG or TCOE), or your character needs to be in a campaign where that book is shared with you.

[obsidian merlin]

Did you solve this?
I can't help but i can tell you that when I export, fonts are sized to fit the field, which means you have to zoom in to some.
As far as I can tell, the fonts are downloaded and embedded in the PDF as part of the export process.

[rotund oak]

I may have. Going to do another export probably later this week and play with it some more. What I'm finding is that the export has the font sizes too big in several areas that it cuts a lot of text out, and I have to delete it and add a new text box. In the export opens a preview file that has fillable fields.

[dense viper]

Have you opened your fillable pdf in Adobe Pdf Reader? You should get more options that way then when you open it in the web browser.

[obsidian merlin]

I'm using Adobe Reader 2025.001 and as I said I see variable fonts. I see same in Chrome browser. But I just tested opening in Edge and all fields are blank!
I've never considered editing after export, so I haven't tried any other method of viewing.

[quiet niche]

Where are the premade characters that were supposed to come with Heroes of the Borderlands digital? I don’t see them.

[dense viper]

Are they not in the list of premade characters you can choose from when you go to make a new character?

[quiet niche]

Nope

[dense viper]

Maybe those things are still being rolled out

[dire blade]

Digital rollout almost never happens before 9AM PST and typically falls within the 10AM-12PM PST time frame. It is 8:42AM PST right now.

[dense viper]

Actually Heroes of the borderlands marketplace page says it still has about 15mins before release

[dire blade]

Right, which is 9AM PST, but the rollout is measured in hours and usually isn't immediate.

[dense viper]

Sorry Dusk I didnt see your other message when I sent that

[quiet niche]

Thanks! The maps and book are already available in my account but perhaps the characters are still coming.

[uneven lantern]

There will be a post in #dnd-announcements when everything's finalized and fully released.

Hello friend! I've been told that the premades on the site as a whole are getting some TLC, so they're not available now, but will be in the coming weeks. I didn't know this was happening, so I'm sorry for the inconvenience 🙏🏾

[uneven lantern]

I'm afraid not.

You can right-click an attack roll to roll it with advantage/disadvantage.

that's kinda what I thought, thanks!

I got an email that says Content Sharing is now available in Maps, but it says I don't have access to tokens that between me and my players I should have with content sharing. Does the player that has it actually need to be active on the map for me to access it?

[dense viper]

I would assume it works like the character builder where the person who owns the content needs to have an active character in the campaign for their content to be shared

[lone swan]

Yeah I've got the map set up with the campaign that the player is in, I'm able to access everything in encounter builder and all that, just not on Maps.

[dense viper]

You may also need to check and make sure your entitlements are in sync. That can be done here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses)

[trail halo]

Hi DDB support folks, I seem to be having trouble finding my quickplay maps for Heroes of the Borderlands

[dire blade]

You may need to sync entitlements or clear your browser cache.

?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.

[lone swan]

That didn't fix it. I'm assuming the player actually has to be in the map playing for me to access it

[dire blade]

Oh someone already said that, my apologies.

You need content sharing enabled on the campaign from which you're starting maps.

It doesn't matter who activates it, but someone has to if you don't own the content yourself.

[trail halo]

yep sync entitlesments did tit

[dire blade]

Great!

[trail halo]

this looks awesome thanks folks

[dense viper]

They just need to be in the campaign and content sharing needs to be on for that campaign. If Syncing the entitlements didnt fix it try turning content sharing off then back on then try syncing again

[loud drift]

quick note, currently any stickers that would be associated with shared books are not currently being shared. Unsure if this affects tokens as well.

[torn crystal]

correct. That's been made known in the changelog and FAQ, linked in the announcement

[loud drift]

Exactly where I got it, was just mentioning it incase it affects tokens as well.

[torn crystal]

more inspiration for you then!

[vernal thunder]

Hello, I do have Master tier, but can't find where to add custom monsters in Maps VTT. Where would that be?

[heavy nest]

Master Tier enables you to add homebrew monsters to the maps. You would need to have created the monster in the homebrew system.

[fading sky]

You've always been able to add homebrew monsters, but the news today seemed to say you could create custom tokens without having to homebrew a whole monster?

[fading sky]

Let me know if y ou find out, because I can't find that button either.

Maybe the news was just that homebrew tokens are exclusively for DM Tier now?

[vernal thunder]

You must create homebrew monsters in the homebrew section for them to appear in the VTT

I'm trying it right now

it works once you've done your own homebrew

Next question: is there a way to delete a (test) roll in the roll log?
'Cause now I need to bury my test under dozens of fake rolls, or my players will get spoiled about the next ambush...

also: can't do custom attack buttons in homebrew?

That kind but for homebrew:

[fading sky]

Ah yep. I've been doing this for months, so I thought the news meant it was a totally separate feature, like just creating a token without it being attached to a monster.

[vernal thunder]

found how to make roll buttons for homebrew:

Ok, so I'm trying to make a roll button attack for homebrew monster... wonder what's wrong with the formula...

Attack: [roll]1d20+5[/roll] Damage: [roll](if([roll👎critical], =0, 1d8, 2{1d8}.expand()))+2[/roll]

[uneven lantern]

The tool you had here was the right one. The calculator at the end of the toolbar.

[uneven lantern]

The one you used here, the dice icon, is for something else.

[vernal thunder]

This:

gives: Melee Weapon Attack: [rollable]+5;{"diceNotation":"1d20+5", "rollType":"to hit", "rollAction":""}[/rollable] to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 6 [rollable](1 d8 + 2);{"diceNotation":"1 d8 + 2", "rollType":"damage", "rollAction":"", "rollDamageType":"piercing"}[/rollable] piercing damage

which displays this:

I guess no button showing up in the stat block is normal at this point. Still performing tests so that they actually appear in the VTT.

[dense viper]

When you click to roll you can set it so only you see the results.

Also I remember at one time there was a way to completely clear the game log as DM

[hollow bane]

hi I have a query about content sharing with the new rules. I have been really looking forward to the change to allow me to no longer be the forever dm, so we're trying to switch over to different dms for some of my campaigns. As far as I can tell, we need to make a new campaign for that rather than being able to just switch DMs, weird but oh well. However, on one of the campaigns, I've been able to turn on content sharing as a player. On the other, neither the player (me) nor the DM have the option to turn on content sharing. It's just not there at all. Is there a limit to how many campaigns you can content share with, or some other rule I'm not aware of?

nm I just found the section in the 'subscriber perks' ad for new subscribers that specifies up to 12 players across 5 campaigns. I have a bad habit of leaving old campaigns as is so that turned out to be the issue. When I turned off campaign sharing from old campaigns, I was able to share with the new campaign.

Few thoughts:

• Publishing is rarely useful and typically a waste of time. You can use it in your games when it's just in your collection.
• My #1 recommendation is to just copy an official subclass and follow its leveling scheme.

[dense viper]

Also once its published it cant be change easily if at all.

[edgy oriole]

Yes please don’t publish until it’s been thoroughly play tested and you’re good with it living forever in its published state.

[uneven lantern]

Is this for Cleric or Cleric?

When you view the subclass page, which icon does it show at the top?

[dapper gazelle]

That was about to be my suggestion. If you made it for 2014 Cleric but put feature levels for 2024 Cleric, it would tell you wrong level.

Try changing it to level 1 for the two level 3 features. If that works, you made a 2014 subclass and can decide how to proceed from there.

[dense viper]

They said it was a 2014 one that they remade for 2024

the original abilities had been written for 2014 rules i believe, and I had updated it for the 24 rules, since it was being used in my campaign

But that still doesn't say on if they made it for the right class version or not

[dapper gazelle]

Yeah, the L1 thing will test that. A quick test before spending the time to base it off a different class.

[uneven lantern]

If it is using , then it sounds like you've got the actual levels right.

In which case I'd suggest checking to make sure you've got a Granted feature at each of those levels.

If you've only got one that's Additional or Replacement, that would cause the error you're seeing.

[hot flume]

so when you publish your homebrew species, are they supposed to vanish from your homebrew creations but still be in homebrew collections?

I'm having trouble purchasing digital content (maps) on the dndbeyond website on a computer.

Anyone having trouble launching maps? I just tried and I keep getting a disconnected error. I open a new browser and try and I get the same error. Did something change recently? I am subbed too.

[zealous shell]

Cthulu by Torchlight doesn't seem to update.

[uneven lantern]

Having extra features shouldn’t be an issue at any level.

You just need at least one granted feature each at levels 3, 6, and 17.

Once you’ve got that, try hitting the main save button again to re-validate.

Is the best workaround a homebrew feat if it isn't working yet?

[uneven lantern]

No, that hasn’t been resolved yet.

I would use a custom action directly on the sheet for any simple invocations.

Any that are basically just text.

Or for the more complicated ones (if it adds a spell, for example), then yeah, I’d use a homebrew feat.

[lusty void]

So with heros of the borderlands, how do you start an adventure in maps? Do you have to create a campaign 1st then you can find the pre-loaded maps?

You can only start Maps by selecting a campaign, so need that first.

Then once you’re inside, you can select maps from any book you own, or from any book shared in that campaign.

[edgy oriole]

Easiest way is to find an existing D&D thing that has similar game mechanics and copy that, tweaking things to suit your homebrew concept.

[harsh nimbus]

make a campaign, host it from there

[uneven lantern]

There’s a good article here that walks through a basic example as well.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/845-new-players-guide-how-to-homebrew-on-d-d-beyond

But what do you have so far? Where exactly are you stuck?

[foggy skiff]

Well I went and have all the classes features I’m just having trouble setting like attacks and it lvl 3 I get to choose what stand I want and I can’t figure out how to first give me the option and second this the abilities attacks and the features that come with that

[uneven lantern]

As far as choosing a stance, look inside the class feature and you should see a section called Options.

You'll want to add each stance as its own Option.

And inside the Option, you'll add everything that applies to that stance.

[lunar adder]

I just noticed the Umbral Binder subclass for Rogues, from Kobold Press' Book of Ebon Tides is listed in the book on DDB but isn't given as an option in the character builder. Can that be added? I haven't checked the other BoET subclasses, but I would suspect that would be the case there too.

[dense viper]

Do you have Kobold Press turned on under Partnered Content?

[lunar adder]

Yes

Kobold comes up 5th in my list of chosen partners

[uneven lantern]

Pretty sure the ones from that book are only supported on the 2014 classes.

So you'd need Rogue, not Rogue.

[buoyant lichen]

I gave them a dex save but it's nbot showing up

[buoyant lichen]

I gave it a save. If I click primary stat it gives me a to hit

[harsh nimbus]

i meant you put sex save in your post

[buoyant lichen]

Yeah, I meant I put in a dex save

[harsh nimbus]

aight nevermind i was making a joke, but it says attack/save, the save is 23

[dense viper]

They want it to show the save to the left of the damage die without clicking on it

[buoyant lichen]

Yeah but the second picture doesn't have that

Yeah what puzzled said

[dense viper]

Are these custom actions or added through a subclass feature?

[buoyant lichen]

custom

I assume if I put in through the subclass or feature it'll give me the save to the left?

[dense viper]

When making your custom action did you put general, spell, or weapon? as the action type?

[buoyant lichen]

General

Wait none of them

[dense viper]

I would change to spell.

[buoyant lichen]

It doesn't ask for a general spell or weapon. I think it does that if I make it from a feature

[dense viper]

When I go to make a custom action before I can put any information like dice and damage type it ask me to choose one of those 3

[buoyant lichen]

Lemme try again

Oh I see I can set it here

[dense viper]

This is with a custom spell action

Notice on the bottom how it shows in the list of actions like you were wanting

[hybrid wedge]

Hey fellas! New to here and dnd beyond, I'm trying to implement some ability to my homebrew subclass, one of them is "No disadvantages when attacking enemies in 5ft range with firearms"
How do i implement it in?

[dense viper]

That's just more of notes that appear on a character sheet. You can make a copy of the sharpshooter feat to get ideas on how its done in the homebrew creator

[hybrid wedge]

In 2014 rule that only gunner feat give that, but for the balance reason I didn't put the ignore reload in it, so I may just not put it in there tho.
Thx for the answer tho.

Btw also there's another ability for this subclass (rogue) that when steady aim only make you half movement speed

Does that need to be implemented or just note as well?

[dense viper]

I think that would also just be notes

[hybrid wedge]

Okay, thx for the answer mate.

[hybrid wedge]

Okay, new question...
I did set all the ability at correct level for a subclass
But it still said this

Or do i have to make those abilities at same level into one feature?

[dense viper]

It wont matter if you dont plan on publishing the subclass

[hybrid wedge]

I'm trying to publish it so i can use in my friend's campaign

Also i wanna sharing stuff with other

[vernal thunder]

do you know how much times is required for an update to an homebrew monster to appear in the VTT? The VTT displays an older edit despite many reloadings of the map

[dense viper]

You can use it in campaigns your in without it being published.

[hybrid wedge]

How tho? Didn't see the arch type in the character creation

And this was made before the character

[dense viper]

Homebrew edits can take up to 15mins to show sometimes longer if you have alot of tab of dnd beyond open

[hybrid wedge]

Also the character is created at his campaign

[harsh nimbus]

is content sharing on?

[dense viper]

Do you have homebrew turned on for this character?

[hybrid wedge]

Yes

[vernal thunder]

Ok thanks Puzzle

[dense viper]

Homebrew is shared regardless of if content sharing is on

[hybrid wedge]

Also yes

[dense viper]

I would wait about 15mins then see if you can add it to your character. The homebrew system uses alot of cached data and that time frame helps it catch up

[hybrid wedge]

This is a problem for at least a day

I was trying to fixing this for pass 2 hours

End up just add "small details" to it

[harsh nimbus]

do you have the right version of the class?

[dense viper]

Did you make it for the right version of rogue? If you made it for a 2014 rouge then it wont show for a 2024 rogue and vice versa

[harsh nimbus]

like making a 2014 for 2024

[hybrid wedge]

Let me check

[dense viper]

And easy way to check is at the top of your homebrew it will show a class symbol. If its this one ( ) its 2014 and if its this one( ) its 2024

[hybrid wedge]

I dod remember both supposed to be 2014

[hybrid wedge]

I'm been bamboozled by my own brain and website for pass two days...

No, the homebrew is 2024

[harsh nimbus]

so its wrong

[hybrid wedge]

How do i change the based

[dense viper]

It happens more then you think recently.

Looks like you will have to remake it for the 2014 one as there isnt an easy way to change it over

[harsh nimbus]

what do you mean?

[hybrid wedge]

Or i have to completely remake?

[harsh nimbus]

yes

[hybrid wedge]

I'll go roll on sans check first before I'm continuing

Or if you know of an official subclass that works like yours, you can make a homebrew copy of it to see how it was set up. Steal its secrets.

But if you want more specific advice, you gotta share specifics.

[harsh nimbus]

oooooh

i never touched extras in my life😭

[analog hazel]

I also need to add a pet to a character sheet but custom

[uneven lantern]

Just create it as a homebrew monster.

[analog hazel]

..

[uneven lantern]

In what way did it not work?

[analog hazel]

I can't add it to the players sheet

[uneven lantern]

Is Homebrew enabled for that character?

[analog hazel]

yes

NVM he said he did but didn't I wanna cry

[uneven lantern]

And that monster is listed here?

lol

[analog hazel]

this helped thank you

[knotty fjord]

This is in DDB on the account tab where we're linking accounts. I'm helping a player get set up, and found out what happened. They signed up using an Apple ID (with a yahoo email) but the account page shows something to the effect of [e-mail] so it won't verify. It seems it is possible the email is hidden from the Apple account, so I will get them trying to investigate that... any other ideas as to what to try if that fails?

[uneven lantern]

I’m honestly not sure. You could try adding a second sign-in method and see if that helps. Otherwise, you may want to contact customer support.

[lost tundra]

If I am to order physical + digital bundle for EU of the new Borderlands set, it seems I have to go through the EU store but I don't see how to link my dndbeyond with the https://dndstore.wizards.com/eu. SO how will I get the digital part? And second - do I miss on discounts that are related to the legendary bundle (not sure if any are applicable at all)?

[uneven lantern]

There will be a link in your purchase confirmation email that you can use to redeem the book on D&D Beyond.

Legendary Bundle discounts don’t apply to the Ultimate Bundle on either site. (The bundle’s own discount is the better value, so it uses that discount instead.)

[lost tundra]

Thanks for the details!

[ivory sluice]

Twice now I've raised tickets to DDB Support and twice they've come back asking for additional information to prove it's my account (which I've sent). Twice I have heard nothing back after that. My account is totally corrupted after a name change and I can't access a lot of the things I own. When I am able to access things it suddenly, without warning, seems to prompt me to repurchase it. I'm at my wits end. I'm paying for this poor service as well. I'd cancel the subscription, however my profile is one of the areas it doesn't allow me to access. Can anyone help?

[dire blade]

Unfortunately the problem you’re having is beyond volunteer Discord support to assist with. You kinda just need to work with the DNDB support, stay calm, and provide them what they want. Dont open new tickets (this pushes you further down the queue), just keep on the same ticket.

[ivory sluice]

That's the problem. I'm getting no response to those tickets, even when I chase them up. Dead end.

It's been weeks.

[dire blade]

The fact you have plural tickets is part of what makes that weeks. We sadly can’t help with that here. Just don’t make any more tickets or you’re going to make it worse for yourself.

There are a metric truckload of tickets they’re working through. Best to just have the one, keep it up to date, and wait for them to reply. Every time you reply on the same thread kicks it back in the queue as well.

[twilit lintel]

I had a question about the upcoming adventure "welcome to the hellfire club" I don't have a physical play group I'm only interested in the digital version but the add in the market place say buy the bundle to get extra stickers and maps is that the only way to get those or are they still included if I just buy the digital version only?

[uneven lantern]

They're not included in the digital-only version.

Though they might be available for purchase separately. I'm not sure.

That's how it's worked with the previous Ultimate Bundles, anyway.

[twilit lintel]

That's what I'm hoping for

[blissful pewter]

So im making a barbarian and kinda looking around at how certain stuff work and how I could enable rage. First I made some magic items to do it, but then I found the ability to do it in Features and Traits but IMO these are both kinda clunky. I was wondering if there was another way (and if not, how difficult it'd be to make the following extension for it) where just directly in the rage bonus action menu (that describes what rage does) it has the rage dropdown (or some sort of toggle) and any other dropdown you may have (such as from Wild Heart) where

1. Upon enabling Rage it sets both dropdowns to their respective value, and upon disabling rage it turns off both dropdowns (or however DnDBeyond handles the dropdowns in Features and Traits actually affecting your character sheet). This is the one I really care about, because I just don't like needing to change menus (whether to inventory or features and traits) and searching for what I need.
2. Upon expending a rage charge, automatically set the rage toggle to true. Mostly convienence so I don't need to remember.
3. The second dropdown (such as Wild Heart) wouldn't require first one to be set to raging to allow choosing the value, so if you always do the same rage you dont need to edit it. Also convience.

[versed oxide]

So I have a question about custom backgrounds every background gets an origin fear bud DDB doesn't allow me to choose this for my custom background, Am i missing something or is there a book i need to purchase to allow this option?

[visual stratus]

Hey i tried bying the 40 dollar crooked moon but it charged me 60 dollars whats up with that?

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid none of those are currently possible.

[visual stratus]

Nvm it was issue on my end

[uneven lantern]

That custom background option is for the 2014 rules. You could use it and then manually add a feat on the character sheet itself, or you could create a homebrew background that includes the feat.

[versed oxide]

Thank you for the help

[cosmic jasper]

how to i change the image of the tokens in the DD Beyond maps vtt? Some of my players want to see another character's face, not the default image

[twilit lintel]

you can go to create monster use the monster you want the new token for i usually rename it to the npc while im at it then at the bottom there is a section for adding token art

i use roll advantage website to make any art into a token https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/

[cosmic jasper]

thank you!

[uneven lantern]

Note that you will need a Master Tier subscription to use homebrew monsters in Maps.

@fast pulsar DDB doesn’t store any passwords. You can only sign in using an external account: Apple, Google, Twitch, or Wizards.

The app doesn’t show which sign-in methods are linked to your account either, but you can find it if you open the website through the app.

1. Go to Characters
2. For any character, click the three dots on the right side and select Edit to open the website.
3. Click the menu icon in the top right corner, then your avatar in the same place.
4. Click My Account.

[little plume]

so in ddb how do I hide a portion of the map so players cant see stuff say hidden behind doors?

[harsh nimbus]

use fog of war

[little plume]

what is that?

I the the option of fog, just not fog of war

I see the option*

[harsh nimbus]

in this case its the same

for me it says fog of war

[little plume]

ah

ok now that im actually looking at it I think the light is the answer for me

light/vision

[twilit lintel]

if you still need help

[little plume]

completely different layout haha

[twilit lintel]

really im using it from my desktop i do have the master teir

[safe hedge]

I'm getting a 504 Gateway Time-out error whenever I try to access D&D Beyond happening across all devices. Anyone else?

[sacred sleet]

yes

[sly osprey]

Beyond is down right now

[blissful plume]

super down

[safe hedge]

WHEEEE

thank you. I didn't see an announcement

[dark heron]

phew that was good timing, just finished a session

[livid quail]

Yep, same - multiple devices - multiple browsers w/o extensions - the "Internal Server Error" Beholder or a "PARSERERROR" popup, depending on what I click on.

[leaden trellis]

I can access characters in a campaign that I already had open, and any content that I had, but my campaign itself won't open.

[sacred sleet]

friend of mine is having issues with their rank, like the Hero/Ultimate stuff.
it thinks they dont have it and are now being forced to pick their characters from their originally unlimited list

this is all during the fiasco of the servers dying

[dark heron]

Back in, hooray

[sacred sleet]

and now we cant access their character for the campaign atm

[granite onyx]

Try refreshing

DDB is working for me now

[sacred sleet]

they already did, same issue

they're on canadian servers

[thick solstice]

adding another voice to the intermittent 503/504 errors

[uneven lantern]

Where specifically are you getting those errors? On what pages?

What country / time zone are you in?

[sacred sleet]

@teal atlas for you to explain to the mod, to get some Support

[little plume]

sorry, had to do something, this is what I have (though i just realized im using abovevtt lol)

[twilit lintel]

No worries i was so confused lol

[little plume]

so only problem is the light function is what I need but I dont know how to use it lol

I click it, drag to make the shape, then it disappears

[uneven lantern]

We can’t help you with AboveVTT.

[little plume]

oh, found out why, I need to specifically do it in the margine of the square

[twilit lintel]

Sorry I don't know I only use dndbeyond maps for my games

[little plume]

yea, I know haha

[thick solstice]

equipment or magic item are the most common to do so, and homebrew creations - possibly related to the searches? I've had the front page and others give me 504 bad gateways. East coast USA/EDT.
My players have had issues reloading character sheets being intermittently unavailable. I see long delays on "analytics.tiktok", but I tend to see those anyway. Console messages indicate somethings blocked by CORS, pintrest and taboola. But those are present even when a page loads.
Browser is firefox, windows 11, whatever the current version is.

[willow loom]

Seemingly random creatures on Maps don’t work for some reason. I can’t see their statblocks (it just acts as if it’s loading but never does), and for the encounter system it loads only their hit points but nothing else. I haven’t been able it find like any common thread amongst the monsters that don’t work.

[cosmic jasper]

that happened to me, yep

[lusty void]

Is there a way on the website character sheet to rearrange tabs like on the app?

[uneven lantern]

I'm afraid not.

[lusty void]

Thanks

[lusty void]

Hey do you happen to have links for all the available dice set you can purchase

[harsh nimbus]

in ddb?

[lusty void]

Yes

[lusty void]

Wanted to see if there are any i do not own

[dense viper]

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/digi-dice

[lusty void]

Besides those, like the gemstone ones are not listed there but you can still purchase them. Any older set you can still purchase?

[dense viper]

It may be that not all the dice got transferred over to the new marketplace when they did the refresh.

[lusty void]

Are any of those still available to purchase

[uneven lantern]

Again, not all of those were even purchases to begin with. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Power of the Unicorn, for example, is this month's subscriber perk.

And there's so many, I don't even remember exactly where each set came from.

[lusty void]

No worries

[uneven lantern]

If you're curious about any specific set in that list, though, we can try to track down the source.

[lusty void]

What about the rod of seven parts set

[uneven lantern]

That one was a preorder bonus for Vecna: Eve of Ruin.

[loud drift]

What about the leather armor and modron dice sets?

[uneven lantern]

Leather Armor was the Dragonlance preorder bonus.

And Modron was the Planescape preorder bonus.

[loud drift]

Oh, I thought I had preordered those but I guess not

[stone halo]

This is the only channel I'm thinking that it would be asked to ask for help. But I've made about four different Homebrew spells and I'm specifically making them to be able to be used for an Eldritch Knight character of mine. But none of them are showing up.

Yes I've refreshed the page several times, yes I've made sure that I've made it to where the class should be able to use the Homebrew setting, yes I've also made sure that the Homebrew button on the character builder is turned on.

[uneven lantern]

How did you add them to the subclass, specifically?

[stone halo]

I've found out the issue on my end god it's dumb lol

[elfin python]

What's going on with beyond? I have druid grove prepped on my wildfire druid, and no matter how many times I update, the spell won't show up on my spell list

Is that no longer a valid spell?

I even re-imported the sheet

It's driving me crazy since it's doing this.

Lol

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean when you say you re-imported it?

The spell shows up just fine for my character. Can you share a link to yours? Make sure in their character settings that “Character Privacy” is set to “Public,” too, please.

[cosmic jasper]

I have a question about the D&D Beyond maps VTT. Is this the correct subchannel to ask?

[uneven lantern]

Hard to say without knowing the specific question, but maybe? 😅

[cosmic jasper]

Let's try:
Can the ruler tool be angled at different paths? Inside of a singular line, let's say an L-shape or M-shape? While it honors the total distance, such as M-shape counting 30 feet total.
And can it be locked into place so that players can move their token to the end of the ruler path for convenience?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think either of those are possible at the moment.

But you could use the Feedback link inside Maps itself if you want to request that ability.

[cosmic jasper]

Thank you for the response. Yes, I'll use the feedback link.

[twilit lintel]

you can simulate that with the overlay line tool

[cosmic jasper]

you're amazing! I never thought of that! I tried it now and that really really helps!

[twilit lintel]

yeah i had a player ask the same thing like a month ago and came up with the idea then lol

[rich gorge]

ive been using the maps vtt for over a year. rather like it. since last week only, it fails to load 100% of the time on my ipad pro. works on other peoples devices including other ipads fine.

" a wild disconnection has thrown us off our path"

ive rebooted the ipad, tried it in chrome and safari. created a brand new wizards account (same problem occurs). Cleared all browsing data (doesnt fix it). made sure the ipad is fully patched and updated (it already was).

im out of ideas. does anyone else have this problem and know how to fix it?

[lusty void]

Can you scale maps to fit the screen of a tablet on maps vtt?

[rich gorge]

that always worked well for me on ipad until last tuesday, when suddenly it wont load. but its really good with touch such as pinch to zoom etc

[edgy oriole]

Please use the Map feedback button to send feedback/issues directly to the Maps team.

[rich gorge]

but i cant load the page at all. as soon as i visit it i get the 'wild disconnection' error

[edgy oriole]

Try clearing your browser cache then restart your browser.

[rich gorge]

as above

ive restarted deice

cleared cache

and installed chrome

and created a new account entirely on wizards

none of it helps

[edgy oriole]

Huh. No VPNs, adblockers?

[rich gorge]

none

worked fine for a year. worked 2 weeks ago

failed last tuesday and every day since

works on other peoples devices (no one else has an ipad though)

[edgy oriole]

Any recent system updates?

[rich gorge]

and its fully updated (i checked)

[edgy oriole]

Ah gotcha

What ipad model and iOS version?

I can at least pass that info to the back in hopes that the devs can recreate the issue and find a solution.

[rich gorge]

ipadOS 16.7.12

ipad pro

[edgy oriole]

Thanks

[rich gorge]

12.9 inch

model: ML0Q2B/A

like i said.. worked great for an entire year. loved using maps VTT using touch ipad

and i installed chrome in case it was a safari problem - still same error

and created a new wizards account in case it was my account was the problem - still same error

[edgy oriole]

Well iOS forces all browsers to use the underlying Safari webkit engine so even installing chrome would just be using a reskinned/rebranded webkit (same engine behind Safari).

[rich gorge]

gigabit ethernet fiber-to-the-premises here too. so not a slow network

[edgy oriole]

Okay well I've passed that info to the back

[elfin python]

The !import command for avrae to use the sheets

[uneven lantern]

You hadn't said anything about Avrae. 😅

Where you having this problem then: on the site, or in Avrae?

[elfin python]

Lol I should talk to avrae folk haha

[lusty void]

Just curious, what browser works best for DDB

[pseudo goblet]

Where is the wild magic sorcerer subclass for 2024 rules? Im trying to make on on dndbeyond but the subclass isnt there, only draconic, divine, shadow, and storm

Heck while back when making a warlock I couldn't find the archfey subclass

Do I have to buy the new 2024 rulebook or?

[uneven lantern]

If you’re using Sorcerer (the 2024 class), then you’d need the 2024 PHB, yeah.

If you’re using Sorcerer (the 2014 class), then you’d need the 2014 PHB.

[pseudo goblet]

Takes deep breathe fine

If the website will allow me to buy the rulebook digitally

[uneven lantern]

You can find that here:
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/3709000

[twilit lintel]

So any news on if the stranger things extra stickers and map pack will be sold separately? I only dm online so I have no need for the physical products but would like to get the extras for use on the vtt

[wanton ibex]

is there a way to remove images uploaded for homebrew creations?

google seems to say no 🙁

[uneven lantern]

I don’t see an option for it either.

[willow loom]

Issue still present. Is this a known issue?

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example? What monster on what map?

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

[wanton ibex]

yeah found a thread from 2018 on the topic, I assume it was never implemented

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking customer support to see if they can remove it, I guess.
