Make sure you're using the 2024 Wizard class ().

If you're getting access from someone else in a campaign, that character must be created in that campaign to access the subclass.

[compact anchor]

I am. I didn't have expanded rules turned on for my sheet. Is it under "Expanded Rules" without crediting the book?

[dire blade]

It is under "Expanded Rules," yes.

[compact anchor]

Got it. Thanks!

[cold trellis]

I did a channel search and didn’t see anyone with this same problem: On the two new books released Tuesday (for Master Tier subscribers), when I click anything in the app from the table of Contents, it just refreshes the table of contents. I do appear to have access via web browser. Thoughts? I’ve synced entitlements, deleted and re-installed the app, logged out and back in, all the usual.

[dire blade]

This is an issue that was reported in #ddb-feedback the other day. I haven't seen an app update yet, so it might just not be fixed yet on mobile.

[small talon]

Why only five??

[edgy oriole]

Because that’s the limit WoTC/D&D decided to place on DnDBeyond content sharing per campaign per account.

[uneven lantern]

I believe Adventures was fixed already. Heroes likely will be in the next book update for the app.

[cold trellis]

Just did the “Update Book” and you are correct - Adventures behaving as expected/intended and I’ll be patient with Heroes. Thanks!

[brazen island]

Where can I go to get help making a purchase. I've run into an issue; I opened a support ticket; the email advisor is just copy/pasting the same replies to me. I've contacted both of the payment method providers I've attempted to use for the purchase. They both tell me they approve the charge but DnD Beyond is kicking it back for some reason.
I'm trying to spend money on your site. Who can help me with this?

[dire blade]

The only people who can help with it are the people you're already talking to in the support emails.

[brazen island]

I submitted another ticket with all the info I learned while troubleshooting the issue. I hope someone can help me.

[loud drift]

we typically recommend against starting new tickets, that puts you at the back of the line and can prolong getting the issue taken care of

[uneven lantern]

Assuming you were signed in when you created your first ticket, you should be able to reply to it on that support site to add more details.

[brazen island]

ohh, the first ticket wasn't going anywhere, but I see your point. Hoping to get someone who will actually investigate and troubleshoot. I've isolated the issue down to my DDB account, but need someone with access to get in their and see

[toxic jackal]

When will we get access to the ddb digital expansions that came with the faerun preorder? I can't find a date listed anywhere.

[uneven lantern]

The first two release Nov. 11th, and the third on Nov. 18th.

[toxic jackal]

which is the third? the astarion one i'm guessing?

[uneven lantern]

Lorwyn: First Light

Astarion’s Book of Hungers and Netheril's Fall are the first two.

[loud drift]

The dates are listed in the digital bundle and ultimate bundle, but you have to scroll down to the bigger details section. They were also listed in the "everything to know" post IIRC

[graceful valley]

I was looking at perhaps purchasing Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft as part of the Halloween sale, but I already purchased a few items from it when a la carte was still a thing. I am having. I luck trying to connect with someone who can give me an answer as to how I apply those previous purchases against the entire book. I know they made a statement a while back that we can still do that, but if I can’t connect with anyone I just won’t buy the book.

[uneven lantern]

If you contact custom support, they can get you a discount for those items.

This link worked for me. Thank you! It wasn’t letting me do it on my laptop (specific settings on my end, perhaps), but I was able to submit a ticket through here. Cheers!

[glass zodiac]

i need help i think there is a problem with the sanguine thief rogue on dnd beyond says you get 3 cantrips but only gives me 2 options to choose and also on the spellcasting it says i have chosen an option but i click the thing for it and it disappears after i click away?

[little plume]

I've just realised that the maps in the Maps VTT from the '24 DMG are all colour versions of the black and white Dyson Logos maps in the back of the book. Is there no way to access these colour versions outside of the VTT?

[buoyant ingot]

This also happened to me last night.

[dire blade]

Correct. The color versions were part of the bonus of buying it on DNDB.

Spam informed me of that recently.

[shut hatch]

Did the new playtest document disappear from the UA page?

[cloud delta]

I really hope this is the right channel for this, would anyone be able to possibly offer some knowledge as to how I can solve an issue. I purchased the 2024 monster manual so I could use tokens from it in maps but the content is entirely bugged. I’ve purchased multiple books with no issues before but I can’t download this content at all and have zero access even though I paid for it and my payment was taken. I submitted a support ticket but I seen that can take up to a month for a response and I have a weekly game

[uneven lantern]

Are your entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[dense viper]

On the page linked above it should also show the 2024 MM under the "Current Product Licenses"

[cloud delta]

I will check into that!

It says my account entitlements are in sink, and when I check which licenses I have the monster manual is there

[dense viper]

Then I think you will have to wait on support to reach out unless Spam knows another trick to use.

Also be sure not to send in multiple tickets as that can send you back to the end of the line

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of a token that's not working?

In what way is it not working, exactly?

[cloud delta]

The content isn’t accessible at all, I can’t even download it. It took my payment like usual and than it just didn’t let me download and it shows that I own it in my licenses but I can’t access it at all

[uneven lantern]

You mean you can't download it in the DDB mobile app?

What happens when you try?

[cloud delta]

Can I send a screenshot here?

[uneven lantern]

Go for it

[cloud delta]

This is what happens every time I try to download it like usual it just asks me to repurchase and it goes through those steps on repeat. I have tried logging out and logging back in and restarting my phone even.

The payment has gone through and been approved on the bank end too I checked that first when this all started

[uneven lantern]

I've literally never seen that before. 😅

If you go back to the main screen for the app and find that book in the Library tab, what does it show?

Did you click the book there to get to the screen above?

[cloud delta]

It’s shows for me to purchase it and that I don’t own it

Yea it just makes me go back through the steps I sent. I thought I’d ask for advice cause I’ve never had any issue like this

[dense viper]

It could be the app cache needs to be cleared

What are your thoughts on that Spam?

[uneven lantern]

Worth a try

[cloud delta]

How would I do that? Apologies if that is an obvious thing to know

[dense viper]

Im not sure exactly on iPhone. Hold on and ill see if i can find some instructions.

[uneven lantern]

Oh yeah, there is no such option on iPhone.

[cloud delta]

Thank you, I thought it would just be setting>apps>dndbeyond and than clear cache but I don’t see a way to do it

[uneven lantern]

Only Android.

The iPhone equivalent would be to delete and reinstall the app.

[cloud delta]

Okay I will try that!

Thank you all for the help, it appears that has fixed the issue! Wish I would have tried that sooner but now I know if this happens again what to do!

[coarse wraith]

How do I code things on DND beyond? I'm making a lineage race and want to have the thing where old movement from the original species carries over to the new lineage but idk how to do that

[dense viper]

The best option to learn how to dp all that would be to make a copy of what you own that does what you want so you can take a deeper look at how its done

[coarse wraith]

Ok

[errant sentinel]

So I got the Email back, and they reference me to the Google Play Store which didn't help at all. The Reference link showed me to cancel a subscription which wasn't what I wanted.

I needed to find out Why I was "Logged out" when I was clearly logged in and making characters.

This is extremely frustrating and I am having very low patience on dealing with this app. Please can someone help me

[little plume]

Thanks.

[dire blade]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but no one here can help you better than CS can. Staying calm and just working with them on the issue until they fully understand what’s going on is the best recommendation that can be given.

[tight heron]

Hi! so question, I play a tiefling, but the +1 on intelligence and the +2 on charisma, don't show up with my abilitie score improvements. Do I just manually add them, or is there something so that it goes automatically?

[uneven lantern]

If you selected a 2024 background, then per the rules, you’d ignore any increase from an older species and use only the one in the background.

[tight heron]

Perfect! Thank you!!

[heavy nest]

Already added feedback in maps, this is more of an FYI. I was expecting Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and the House of Lament adventure to be in Maps. Van Richten's Guide has not been added yet.

[storm sleet]

Hi, we still don't have player versions of maps from the online purchased adventure collection, Tales from the Yawning Portal. Any update when those will be available? The free map for Prisoner 13 is also no longer available for the Pre-Made campaign option as well. Will that be restored because we can't use a jpg version of that map, definitely can't for the Doomvault map either. Am I missing something or is there an alternative? Cheers

[loud drift]

Tales From the Yawning Portal hasn't been added to maps yet. For "pre-made" do you mean one that has tokens already placed on it? If so none of Keys From the Golden Vault have been made that way yet.

[solemn pike]

I am not sure if anyone official reads this channel, but the Ritual Caster Feat has been bugged for over a year.

I cannot get the spells chosen upon selecting the feat to show up in the Beyond Character Sheet, and all existing workarounds that were posted in the Bug Reports section of the site by other players have been placed behind the "Bad Dragon: this portion of the site in inaccessible to you" site wall.

Is this EVER GOING TO GET FIXED?

[dire blade]

They do read this channel. I'm testing the issue now so I can make sure it gets properly reported.

[storm sleet]

Prisoner 13 was offered as a limited promotion freebie. It's automatically listed with Intro to Stormwreck Isle and Frozen Sick as a campaign choice on the Maps page. The Maps page "Premade" link takes you to a page with them displayed as well but they don't launch any maps in the VTT. #ddb-support

[dire blade]

Yeah, can confirm this issue. It's likely this has been reported up to the devs already, but I marked it for feedback again.

[loud drift]

Oh wild, none of the premade campaigns load correctly

[dire blade]

That must be new to the Faerun book launch. I recommended it to someone ~8 days ago and it worked for them.

[storm sleet]

I noticed Prisoner 13 didn't load a few weeks ago.

[dire blade]

Wonder if there's something more to it than just timing, then.

[storm sleet]

I could be wrong but several issues with content and the VTT have crept up in the last 3 weeks. The premade issue was one of the first that came up, then a week later other stuff cropped up. The week after that is when I sent a few tickets to Support.

[shrewd saffron]

Does anyone know if the Stranger things Hellfire starter set is 5E or 2024?
I wanna know cause I'm gonna be setting up a campaign, and I want to let my players create their own characters (instead of using the pre-made ones)

[dire blade]

It’s 2024, but you could honestly run it either way using either MM set.

[dense compass]

Are the payments still not working for a lot of people? I've used multiple browsers and different laptops, phones, etc, yet every time I try to order it says there was a problem processing the payment, which is weird because it is the exact same details as the card information that I already use on DDB for my Master Tier

I've gone through the one thread about it, yet it was closed for whatever reason :/

[barren garnet]

Yesterday I was able to access the Adventures of Faerun content and now I am unable to do so today. :/

I have a master tier subscription but haven't pre-ordered the book directly. Was there a mistake and I previously had access when I shouldn't have? Or is a mistake happening now and I should still be able to access it?

[meager mesa]

looks like there is a bug on Dracolich (Gargantuan) i can't access it
i have no issue with the normal dracolich (and yes i have the monster manual)

[heavy nest]

Are you in a campaign where the book was being shared with you?

[barren garnet]

I don't think so 🤔 I'm not a part of any campaigns. I have access to the Heroes of Faerun book still, but not the Adventures of Faerun book. I haven't pre-ordered either book; I just have the subscription.

[heavy nest]

I'm not sure how you have access then. Subscriptions do not grant access to books, you would either get access by purchasing them or by someone sharing in a campaign.

[raven mist]

So does this book give more then monsters of so what else

Cause description says more but the beyond notes don’t and also is there a part 3. Behind this pay wall?

[heavy nest]

The full description from the web marketplace shows this list...
Evoke true terror with what lurks inside part two of this Folk Horror tome:

• Huge Adventure Campaign from levels 1–13
• Epic Postgame Content to level 20
• Brand New Fateweaving Mechanics
• 11 Multi-Phase Boss Fights
• 85 Folkloric Monsters
• 26 Upgrading Heirloom Items
• 13 Bewitching Familiars
• 13 Paranormal Potions
• 13 Cursed Curios
• 156 Chaotic Curses
• 58 Maps Including 12 Full-Color Boss Battle Maps

[uneven lantern]

For example?

Are you referring to the Sources menu, or the Sources page?

[winged tundra]

Can WoTC PLEASE fix the horrible content sharing for monsters? At this point it’s getting to the point where subs should be comped a month

[raven mist]

Kida weird they don’t show it all.

Ps any idea why the 50$ on this book

Looks a little lacking in comparison to the other 40$ books

Or am I missing something agin like I was with the other book

[uneven lantern]

The publishers set their own prices. You’d have to ask Paizo.

[winged tundra]

If anyone finds a known fix to the monster CS lmk

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific?

[winged tundra]

Depends how fleshed out those items/monsters are also. It won’t show the maps on that app either if there are any

[winged tundra]

Monsters that are content shared via new master tier benefits not showing stat blocks when clicked on; essentially just thinning out my library and making it a huge pain to decipher what’s mine and what isn’t

[fading bramble]

isnt there a toggle for showing whats in your library?

[winged tundra]

That shows both owned by me and content shared however

Rather than the ones that are neither owned or shared

[fading bramble]

ah ic

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of such a monster?

Where are you clicking on that monster? What page?

[winged tundra]

Any monster I don’t own gets a loading screen on the sidebar and then just a “open details page” button that doesn’t take me anywhere

[fading bramble]

its just a general thing in maps if you dont own the book a monster is from, there's like an abyssmally long loading time for its stats to show

[winged tundra]

On Maps

[winged tundra]

Mine just don’t show regardless of time

[uneven lantern]

Can you name one?

[fading bramble]

Like, i dont own Waterdeep, but its shared with me, and when i try to get Jarlaxle's statblock to load, it just doesnt in Maps

[winged tundra]

I’m not on my app rn

[winged tundra]

Appreciate you

[uneven lantern]

In which campaign is the book for those monsters being shared?

Who activated content sharing for that campaign? If they check this page, does it still show an active Master Tier subscription?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

Who in that campaign purchased the book that monster is from? Do they see that book listed on that same page under Current Product Licenses?

When you’re in Maps, is it for the campaign that’s sharing that book or another one?

[winged tundra]

The players of mine content sharing do have master, it’s in any of my campaigns, again I’m not in the app but looking for more specifics as far as license is likely the wrong direction

It seems like a fundamental backend issue with the code as a whole for it as none of it works for any of my campaigns despite subscriptions being active. I’d honestly prefer they just remove it as a whole instead of this time consuming nonsense of needing to look through all of my monsters one by one to see if they’re actually owned

I also know it isn’t a me only issue as well but a global one. So it confuses me as to why they’re taking money for the month they’re not tackling this issue.

[uneven lantern]

To use a shared monster in Maps:

1. A Master Tier subscriber needs to enable Content Sharing for that campaign.
2. Someone in the campaign needs to own the book that contains that monster.
3. You need to be running a Maps session for that specific campaign. You won’t be able to access another campaign’s shared monsters.

[fading bramble]

Yeah, the issue is that shared monsters that appear are just. Not loading their statblocks at all.

[fading bramble]

^

[uneven lantern]

You’re referring to this statblock from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/149550-jarlaxle-baenre

[fading bramble]

yeap

i can view his statblock on that page, but not in maps

in the little sidebar thing. I actually booted up maps and tried out checking his statblock 2 minutes ago, still loading

[uneven lantern]

Which campaign did you select for that Maps session? Who in that campaign has purchased this book?

[fading bramble]

Im not sure how to answer the former, but one of my players has it.

[uneven lantern]

Before you can start a Maps session, you have to select a campaign.

If you don’t select that player’s campaign, you won’t have access to that player’s monsters.

[fading bramble]

I think the player who has the book is in that campaign.

[uneven lantern]

Can they confirm whether that book is listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[fading bramble]

I can get his token on there, but statblock no load

[fading bramble]

wait, so, double checking, if something is shared from one of my campaigns, will that token also be available in the other ones? or?

[uneven lantern]

It will not.

[fading bramble]

Ok, so one of my players has to have it in that campaign then

[uneven lantern]

Correct

[fading bramble]

just waiting to see if they have their entitlements checked then

[dire blade]

Yeah, I just tested this situation and it took 4 seconds to load the stat block:

• Content sharing is enabled in X campaign.
• Player in X campaign shares a monster with me via Master Tier content sharing that they own but I don't.
• I can add that monster to the Maps VTT in X campaign.
• If I show the stat block in X campaign, it takes 4 seconds to load it and it is visible to me.

4 seconds isn't bad, so seems OK to me?

[fading bramble]

Its still loading for me, 10 minutes later

[dire blade]

I'm testing a bunch of stuff I know I don't have cached in-case it matters and it ranges from 4-15 seconds.

[fading bramble]

huh, interesting, checked out the shared content, waterdeep is apparently not on that list... yet i can still add hsi token to maps

[dire blade]

Okay, yeah, what @uneven lantern said is the confirmation. If I follow the above steps, Maps VTT lets me (INCORRECTLY) add tokens to Y campaign's Maps VTT when the creature is shared with me via X campaign (different campaign). The token can be placed when you wouldn't expect it to allow it to be placed, and then the stat block just appears to 'load infinitely.'

[fading bramble]

ok, that makes a lot more sense yeah

so weird, youd think it would only limit the tokens to that particular campaign

[dire blade]

Yeah, it definitely should limit them to being used only in the campaign where it's shared with you.

[fading bramble]

at the least, it would cause much less confusion lmao yeah

ill add that to the maps direct feedback

[dire blade]

This is almost 100% certainly what Dungeon Loki was calling out above, and exactly why it should be fixed. It looks like it "should work" when actually it shouldn't, and it loading infinitely looks like Maps is wrong when you actually just don't have that content available to you in that campaign.

[vestal quiver]

Hi all... Am I missing something in my math? So, in DDB, using Point Buy method, I currently have a character with a 16 WIS and 10 CHA. If I reduce CHA to 8, it should give me 2 points to "spend" elsewhere. But, when I go to raise something by 2 points, say WIS, it only allows me to increase by 1 (from 16 to 17 WIS). It's like I am paying a tax on the point. What am I missing?

[dire blade]

#character-discussion can explain more, but this is working as intended. The 15th stat point costs more points from point buy than the 11th stat point.

[vestal quiver]

So, 15 costs 2 points?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

14 does, too.

[vestal quiver]

Ah, okay. Didn't realize that.

thx

[uneven lantern]

That’s shown here in the Ability Score Point Costs table:

[dull falcon]

Certain warlock pact boon isn’t showing up even though I’ve purchased and downloaded the sourcebook

[heavy nest]

Check your entitlements

?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.

[dull falcon]

Still no

[fading bramble]

are you perchance trying to get Pact of the Talisman on a 2024 Warlock?

[dull falcon]

Yes

[fading bramble]

ok, i think that one is unavailable since Talisman is not an Invocation and has not been reprinted yet

[dull falcon]

Ok but, I’ve unchecked the Core Rules box and now none of the options are showing

[fading bramble]

because that turns off the 2024 Player's Handbook

[dull falcon]

Ok… so what now?

[fading bramble]

turn on Core Rules again. You wont be able to add Pact of the Talisman at all because its not an invocation, and none of the Xanathar or Expanded rules invocations as the devs are still working on it

[dull falcon]

Have the devs said anything about when those will be available?

[fading bramble]

no ETA

for talisman, it probably would require it to be reprinted in another book as an invocation

[dull falcon]

Ok. Thanks for letting me know

[uneven lantern]

In the meantime, you could potentially leave your invocation choice unselected, then add that as a custom action or homebrew feat instead.

Or switch to Warlock (the 2014 class) instead of Warlock (the 2024 one).

[rose schooner]

Circle magic showed up on my sheet before I even purchased the new books. I also can’t seem to get rid of it once it’s on my sheet.

[errant sentinel]

Okay so, trying this again

I bought the Hero 1 Year tier, I tried Restoring my Purchase for it

It gives me the Error Page

What am I doing wrong?

[glad tree]

I'm creating a feat for which I would like a box that can be check when used that unchecks itself after a long rest. Is that something that can be done with a homebrew feat?

[shadow prawn]

Is there a way to add items and gear into my player’s inventory for them to equip and unequip?

[elfin minnow]

The Cultist of Bane thumbnail is warped and squished on Maps. It looks as if the cultist thumbnails for Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul are meant to be identical, but Bane's is specifically warped.

[dense viper]

Yes that is something that can be done with the homebrew system.

I would suggest finding a feat that does something similar so you can make a copy of it to see how its done

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to give it an Action.

Make sure to give that Action a Reset Type.

Then after you save that, you should see a Limited Use section at the bottom.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah. Head to the Inventory tab and click Manage Inventory.

[shadow prawn]

Ok I found where to add items but I also wanna see how I can make it so they can dual wield items, like edit the items from the base

[uneven lantern]

After you’ve added the weapon, try clicking on it.

There should be a Dual Wield option there in the sidebar.

You might need to open the Customize menu there to find it.

[shadow prawn]

How do I open that on mobile

Sorry I was in the bathroom 🥹

[shadow prawn]

Is that on the app?

I just found out there’s one

I’m on the web

[uneven lantern]

Same basic deal on the web.

[shadow prawn]

I don’t see it here

I had hit the edit button on one of my players

And came to their inventory

[uneven lantern]

Ah. Go to the actual character sheet and do it there.

[shadow prawn]

Like hit vote?

View?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

[shadow prawn]

Thank you so much

How would they equip it to dual wield

Or would it do it automatically

If they’re wielding it

[uneven lantern]

You need to enable that Dual Wield option for that weapon.

Sorry, I circled the wrong checkbox there. 😅

[shadow prawn]

I did

[shadow prawn]

You’re fine I was cleaning up until just now

[uneven lantern]

Maybe I misunderstood the question, then.

You can equip weapons on the Inventory tab. There’s a checkbox next to each one. Just click it to equip.

[shadow prawn]

Wait sorry just double checking if they’re equipped they’ll be a bonus atk option?

I’m using avrae for this so I just wanna check

[dire blade]

Weapons always display in the Actions section because they can be used as actions. Avrae handles this fine in my experience; you don’t need it to show up in the BA section.

[shadow prawn]

Alright but I don’t want it to add in the modifiers

[dire blade]

You can edit the action on your bar to remove the modifier.

[shadow prawn]

Oh ok

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, if it’s marked as Dual Wield, it’ll move to Bonus Actions and remove the ability mod.

[glass zodiac]

hi i had posted a day or 2 ago and i might be in the wrong location but was/ is anyone able to look at this for me, it still seems to be having problems on my character sheet. thanks

#ddb-support message

[edgy oriole]

Hmm. You're right that you can't really select anything at that point in the character builder. I've been able to work around it by completing my build of the character, and then from the front end of the character sheet, under the Spells tab, add the spells to my character from there using the Manage Spells button.

[glass zodiac]

even when i do that it doesnt let me choose the thing it un checks it the moment i click away.

[lusty void]

So if I am dual wielding 2 scimitars or short swords would I check the dual wield option on 1 of them or both?

[uneven lantern]

One

[unique elk]

Hello, i'm new to ddb. I have a link to a campaign from my friend, but when i open it and create a character it shows no page found.. I'm positive i have correct invite link. Anyone can give me idea how to solve it?

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to see that campaign here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns

[unique elk]

I see the campaign. 2 other people were able to join, but somehow it doesn't work for me.

When i try to join with character it shows no page found

If you see the campaign there, then it sounds like you’ve already joined.

Are you able to open the campaign from that page?

Do you see your character in there?

[north junco]

One of my players chose "Ritual Caster" feat at lvl 4. There are 2 problems:

1. It allows to choose 6 spells right away, while his PB is only 2;
2. These spells aren't added to the list of always prepared spells.

[lusty void]

So if I have mastery with scimitar would I still mark 1 as dual wield since nick allow me to make the attack without using a bonus action?

[unique elk]

I saw the campaign on the list, but when i tried to enter it with a character it didn't work. We managed to fix it by removing campaing and creating new one. Thank you for responding to my questions ☺️

[solar abyss]

Hello, searching for a german dndbeyond Option or the translate of the charsheet

[uneven lantern]

There’s a printable character sheet here in German:
https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/marketing/DE_Character_Sheet.pdf

But the website itself is largely available in English only.

[versed terrace]

We treat crits as the max possible roll plus the rolled number. Is there a way to make D&D Beyond do that automatically instead of just doubling the roll, or is it possible toI just have it roll normally?

[tight heron]

I am in a campaign that owns the classe: Sorcerer: Crimson Sorcerer. I am one of those now, however, while I see the Crimson Sorcerer spells in the discription, I don't have them in my character sheet. do you know what I'm doing wrong?

[uneven lantern]

Are your entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.

The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.

[uneven lantern]

Do you still have Avantris Entertainment enabled for that character?

Is that character still assigned to that campaign?

[versed terrace]

We treat crits as the max possible roll plus the rolled number. Is there a way to make D&D Beyond do that automatically instead of just doubling the roll, or can I just have it roll normally without changing the number at all?

[wispy aspen]

The Gift of the Metallic Dragon Feat gives a use of Cure Wounds, but on the character sheet it is linked to the legacy version of Cure Wounds that heals less. Is there a way to fix that and link it to Cure Wounds '24?

[uneven lantern]

Only the official crit rule is supported. If a crit happens, though, you can right-click or long-press the damage to switch it back to a normal roll.

[uneven lantern]

You can make a homebrew copy of the spell and swap it there. Otherwise, any old features that grant a specific spell will continue to grant the old version (so as not to break old characters).

[kind scroll]

I am having issues. So the irl campaign I am part of have books they shared with me. So when I go to create a character... I do not get the extra stuff from those books. idk if this is a glitch or not.

[edgy oriole]

Are you building the character in the DnDBeyond campaign that has the content sharing enabled?
You won't have access to shared content unless you're building the character in the DDB campaign where that content is shared.

[kind scroll]

this is for my own and I thought it would work like that. That makes sense

[cloud bloom]

so i recently changed my phone number for my 2fa and havent been getting the code for the verification

[edgy oriole]

DnDBeyond authentication is always through 3rd party auth providers such as Google, Apple, Wizards of the Coast, or Twitch (now deprecated). Any 2fa would be provided by those providers, not by DnDBeyond.

[cloud bloom]

i figured it out i was just being dumb'

[lofty ore]

Tried that, and waited a few days for the PDF cache to expire. The new PDF still lists all the spells twice. 🤔

[umbral wharf]

Hi, I recently purchased GRIM HOLLOW PLAYER'S GUIDE and wanted to use the subclass for a 2014 campaign and I was under the impression that it was for 2014 edition when it was advertised as The character options in this book are only compatible with the 2014 core rulebooks. However, when I try to add a subclass to my character its not in the 2014 edition but the 2024 edition.

So is it under 2025 edition and not 2014 ruleset?

[reef finch]

Store page talks about it being part of the 'Grim Hollow 2024 Bundle' all over

[umbral wharf]

I just realised that the "The character options in this book are only compatible with the 2014 core rulebooks. " is under Grim Hollow: Player Pack not GRIM HOLLOW PLAYER'S GUIDE... confusing but understandable what I got wrong

[umbral wharf]

sorry for being a idiot

[little plume]

Is there anything in the ToS about having multiple D&D Beyond accounts?

[light trail]

With the release of Heroes of Faerun upcoming does anyone know if Astarions book from the ultimate bundle will be available as a serperate purchase or is it only available from that bundle?

[remote sinew]

it says on the marketplace that they are available separately on iirc the 11th or 15th, that goes for the other suppliments too

[hidden ingot]

I received a notification about a free one-shot on Beyond, what is that about?
I didn't have time to read it 🥲

[uneven lantern]

[hidden ingot]

Thanks ! 😇

[sage karma]

For some reason can’t see Bigby’s Hand 2014 as an option in my character’s spellbook to learn, only 2024. sources are enabled so other 2014 spells are there just fine. Anyone else experienced this?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need 2014 Core Rules enabled for that character.

You’ll also need to own the 2014 PHB, or have this character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you.

Alternatively, you can add Arcane Hand, which is the same spell under a different name.

[woeful wadi]

Sorry if thisvis the wrong place to ask this but I recieved a email saying I get 6 freemonths of master tire for using sigil is this email legit

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[fringe blaze]

Won't let me download any books dketwd app etc why?

Deleted app still goes to 98% then says can't download

[limber canopy]

Hopefully this has been reported already but Bladesinging isnt adding the int bonus to hit/dmg in the actions tab as it should.

Once this is fixed "invoke bladesong" is a VERY NICE feature, thank you for adding it!!!!

[uneven lantern]

While that’s active, if you click on your weapon, you should see a “Use Intelligence” option there in the sidebar.

[foggy falcon]

If I buy one of the new books as a preorder but I have the Master Tier subscription, does it just auto-unlock?

digital copy, specifically

[uneven lantern]

For either of the Forgotten Realms books, yeah.

Not yet for Eberron: Forge of the Artificer.

[foggy falcon]

Dyou know if that extends to the campaigns I've got with sharing enabled? Or is that still release date for 'em

[uneven lantern]

If you’ve got it unlocked yourself (pre-order + Master Tier subscription), then I believe it should be shareable.

[near ember]

Is there an easy way to get a species from the 2024 rules an old language?

[uneven lantern]

The easiest option would be to not choose a language.

Then go to your sheet, click, Proficiencies & Languages, and manually add a language there.

Otherwise, you can make a homebrew copy of that species and change it there.

Switch from “Choose a Standard Language” to just “Choose a Language”.

[near ember]

Oke (why can't you just do it while choosing a language whit customise your origin like before)

[sage karma]

How can I save maps I own from DDB digital versions of my books onto my iphone? I am not able to save the pictures by holding tap on them (google chrome mobile browser); the option to save the picture doesn’t even exist/

If I tap hold and open the map in a new browser window, it just loads the section of the adventure the map is from.

More than a little annoying. How am I supposed to save them? Surely I can save maps I paid for? I suppose I can put in a little work and save them off google image search results but that defeats the purpose of actually paying for it.

[uneven lantern]

I'm able to do so through my browser (Firefox on iOS).

[sage karma]

I’ll try firefox, chrome is often silly

i will add it’s much more easily accessed and saved by visiting illegal third party sources. not suggesting anyone uses those, but it’s a little disappointing when the free illegal thing is easier to use than the one I paid for.

Thank you for your help!

[broken mulch]

i bought a hard copy book how can i put that on my account?

[loud drift]

The short answer is that you can't. To have it digitally available you have to purchase the digital version through DDB marketplace or on the mobile app.

[dire blade]

There are some CSS issues in the newest two books that block doing this easily in some areas because they’ve tried spicy ‘map follows the screen focus’ concepts. I would report any of these you find individually in #ddb-feedback so they can be fixed.

I still am seeing a bunch of them myself in the Stranger Things and FR books. It never happened before that.

[broken mulch]

do you know why that is?

[fading bramble]

theyre seperate products. think of it as buying a book vs an ebook

[uneven lantern]

I assume the biggest issue is that there's no way to individually identify and confirm your purchase from another retailer.

[broken mulch]

that makes sense thanks

[uneven lantern]

You could potentially use the site's homebrew tools to rebuild any character options from that book, though.

[solid hedge]

my dm gave me speak to the dead for free, how do I add that to my character on mobile?

[loud drift]

The only way I know of is to access the DDB website through a browser to create a homebrew feat that grants the spell and then add that to the character sheet.

[glass shoal]

Boy, that's fun. I can't log into the DDB website anymore. It thinks I'm a kid trying to lie about my age, or something. I ask for help, and this k.id thing pops up.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure you're not using any VPN or ad blocker as thsoe can't interfere with normal DNDBeyond functionality. And try clearing your browser cache and then restart your browser.

If you're looking for a campaign to join then you'd want to look in #looking-for-players

[frigid pebble]

Does anyone know why dnd beyond creates new accounts when you try logging back into your account after it signs you out?

[heavy nest]

I have not seen that issue, but I have tied the various sign in methods to my account. If you normally use wizards for sign in and then choose to use apple for example, and have not tied them to the same account, it will likely create 2 different accounts.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, if you use a sign-in account it doesn’t recognize, it will naturally assume you’re someone new.

If you want to sign back in to your original account, you’d need to use the same sign-in you originally used.

I preordered the Faerun digital bundle. I got the 2 books and the atlas on ddb
But i can't find the 3 bonus digital adventures, including the Astarion one.
Does anyone know how to access them?

"Astarion’s Book of Hungers and Netheril’s Fall releases on November 11, 2025

If you go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses does it show the books listed under Current Product License?

Yeah my mates shared with me aswell doesn't work don't know if it's coz I'm using my hot-spot as don't have WiFi

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try to download a book, specifically?

[fringe blaze]

It goes up in percent then says failed to download, that all the books I have does for every single one

[fringe blaze]

Just lost mine, but my friend is sharing his with me eveyone else on party can download but me

Do I need to get the subscription

[uneven lantern]

No, a subscription won’t help you here.

My guess would be that it’s either a network issue (you could try again using a different connection) or a memory issue (you could check to make sure there’s enough space on your phone for the download).

[fringe blaze]

Tried on my tablet too same problem, and it's has plenty of space, would making a new account do anything

[uneven lantern]

Well a new account wouldn’t have any of the books you bought.

I’d try deleting and reinstalling the app first.

Though if you got the same result on two devices, that may not help.

Did you try it on another network?

[raven surge]

hi guys! im new to d&d, and im playing my first campaign w/ friends right now. im not sure exactly where to ask this question. my party needs to use 2024 rules, and im trying to make my rogue an arcane trickster, but it isnt one of the options. i figured out i needed to purchase the 2024 player’s handbook, but i cant do that rn. is there any other way i can do this (other than manually thru homebrew)?

[uneven lantern]

If there’s a Master Tier subscriber in your group, they can enable Content Sharing for that campaign.

[raven surge]

we have content sharing enabled, but there isnt someone who has a master tier sub :(

[uneven lantern]

Then if anyone in the group owns that book, everyone would be able to use those character options in that campaign.

[uneven lantern]

It’s not possible to enable Content Sharing without a Master Tier subscription.

So either it’s not enabled, or there is a subscriber in the group.

[raven surge]

oh i see, i didnt know ! then i just think that nobody has this book specifically

i checked and the only player handbook being shared is 2014 rules

[uneven lantern]

That version of Arcane Trickster would only work if you select the 2014 Rogue class.

instead of

[raven surge]

i see i see, the thing is from what ive seen the 2024 rogue has some features that i’d miss out on if i used 2014 instead

[uneven lantern]

Then yeah, to use it for the 2024 Rogue, you’d need the 2024 PHB — whether you buy it yourself or it’s shared with you.

[arctic roost]

Anyone knows what could I do when trying to create a fighter subclass but it tells me I don't have the necessary class features with the correct required levels?

I have 2 level 3 features, 1 level 7, 1 level 10, 1 level 15 and 1 level 18.

They're all set to 'Granted' and I've saved changes in all the places where the button appears XD

Hello. I have an issue with a purchase, the marketplace support seems unresponsive. How can I get someone from D&DB to look into it?

[spice spade]

im having the same issues, for some reason i cannot purchased nothing or add any new payment to my account

[slim rivet]

did the hero’s of fearûn have early access for hero tier this week? i able to use it on the website and app.

[dire blade]

Yes.

[loud drift]

Depending on the issue only customer support will be able to help you

[viral solar]

I purchased the new Faerun book ultimate bundle with a Master tier subscription and still don't have access 6 days in.

I've been going back and forth with support via email but I haven't heard anything back in over a day. Is this a widespread issue?

[loud drift]

First time I'd heard of it happening. When you visit https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses does it not show up under Current Product License?

[viral solar]

It does, but no matter what I try it doesn't load on character sheets or show as "In Library".

[uneven lantern]

On that same page, does it show an active subscription? Does it day your Account Entitlements are in sync?

[uneven lantern]

No one here has access to your account.

What kind of issue, though?

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try, exactly? Are you able to add that payment method here instead?
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/account

[viral solar]

Yes it does:

[uneven lantern]

Looks like you definitely should have access, then.

What happens if you click this link?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/frhof/a-world-of-epic-heroes

[amber forum]

It’s OK. The second message to the support team went through. I am waiting to see what the resolution will be.

[viral solar]

It comes up. No issues reading the books really, just using any of the features on characters.

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Expanded Rules enabled for that character?

[viral solar]

Yes I do. Sorry for the late replies.

[loud drift]

What kind of character are you trying to make? I want to see if I run into the same problem.

[fringe blaze]

The app is awful, the customer support is even worse why? Just care about money and subscriptions it seems

[arctic roost]

Update on this, the problem seem to be outside of my subclass. Cause I tried to make another one with the option 'Select an existing Subclass as a template' and used Champion as the base.

I didn't change anything about champion to test whether if my features were the problem or not and now on top of 'Spirit-Bound is currently too similar to Champion to share with the community.' (which was to be expected as I changed nothing from Champion), I'm still getting the 'This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.'

[loud drift]

It looked like you were having some kind of network issue, did you try connecting to a different network to see if the problem remained?

[fringe blaze]

I will try tomorrow on different WiFi but I had email saying it's becuase I have multiple account yet I onky have one account with same email...

[uneven lantern]

If customer support is saying you have two accounts, then you definitely have two accounts. They can help you get that fixed, though.

[viral solar]

For testing, I've been trying to update my barbarian/rogue. She's level 19 and already has 9 levels in assassin. I've had the character since 2019 (she's AL) so maybe she's on an older sheet, but I've just tried with a newer character and still can't select any of the newer material.

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of an option you’re unable to select?

Is this character still using the 2014 classes?

[viral solar]

No, this character was fully updated to 2024 classes and sub classes.

Specifically, I am unable to select the scion of the 3 rogue subclass and do not see any of the expanded options from Faerun. Further more, I can't take any of the feats from the book either when trying to add feats from the "manage feats" option on the feats and features tab.

[uneven lantern]

And you said you enabled the new Expanded Rules toggle, not the old one that’s been renamed to 2014 Expanded Rules?

[uneven lantern]

Honestly, I’m stumped here.

It definitely looks like you’ve got everything set up correctly.

• You preordered the book
• You’ve got an active subscription
• Your entitlement are in sync
• You’ve got Expanded Rules enabled
• You selected the 2024 class

So I’d expect it to be there, but clearly it isn’t.

You’ll probably want to contact customer support and get them to take a closer look.

I already have an open ticket with them. They just stopped responding on the 5th. 😕

[dire blade]

It's only been 2 days. That's honestly not that long, just give it time.

The workaround in the interim that I'd try is to just make this character over again as a new character and see if that works.

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, as RisingDusk says, 2 days is nothing for a support ticket. Generally, expect a couple weeks. Also, make sure not to open multiple tickets, that tends to put you at the back of the line.

[viral solar]

Yeah, I actually work Zendesk tech support so I know not to make additional tickets 😅 . I just wanted to ask here in case anyone else ran into the issue and knew how to fix it.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little frustrated and concerned because this is a novel issue and a lot of my players I run paid DMing sessions for don't get access to these features.

Thanks to you both for the help though, I really do appreciate it!

[round sinew]

Good afternoon,
I have successfully pulled some DA videos in to DDBeyond as MP4 files to use as cut scenes, they work well.

I tried some other MP4 files (Snapchat with filter video), but no sound. I tried converting them to WEBM file, but still no sound. I can hear the dice roll etc.

I tried some animated maps, but I don't seem to have any that include sound.

Anyone try to use sound files in DDBeyond?

[vast jackal]

Quick question. I am getting ready to DM the obojima campaign on ddb and wanted to see the character creation section for when I run session zero, incase there were issues and would know how to address it. But I noticed that it doesn’t show any of the subclasses from that campaign; is it just me or is this common with everyone or am I doing something wrong?

Appreciate any help and advice.

[uneven lantern]

Since that book was written for the 2014 rules, those subclasses are available only on the 2014 classes.

Maps with audio files are not currently supported, only animated maps. If you'd like to see audio support added then I'd recommend submitting that request through the feedback button found in maps VTT itself.

[civic tide]

Am i able to make a Weapon with the properties of a rod in DND Beyond? Trying to make it so I can use a hunting rifle as an artificer Arcane firearm. It seems that Weapons and Magic items are mutually exclusive and cant be paired in homebrew unless im missing something

[uneven lantern]

That’s not possible.

I would just manually add the bonus to the rifle, directly on the character sheet.

Just click the weapon, then open the Customize section in the sidebar.

[fading bramble]

what about those items that count as a +X weapon? Are those special backend code?

(e.g., Staff of Power)

[uneven lantern]

You could use the homebrew system to make a magic weapon that grants a +1 bonus.

It wouldn’t technically be a rod.

And you wouldn’t be able to apply an infusion (since those can’t be applied to magic items).

[civic tide]

Seems like there was an oversight when i looked at how this works, i didnt think of not being able to infuse +1 weapons

Think it would be viable to just have the Rifle and a staff equipped and pretend they are one item for RP reasons? There isnt anything that should prevent me from having a Rifle, Wand and shield equipped right? I dont see anything on the sheet atleast

Though I do have to spend two of my attunement slots instead of one, which kinda sucks

[uneven lantern]

Hence why I think the easiest solution is to just manually add the bonus there on the sheet.

[civic tide]

Im not sure I understnad how to add spell attack rolls to the rifle. I might just be not understanding the mechanics correctly

[uneven lantern]

No, you’re right. I’m wrong. Sorry. 😅

[civic tide]

No worries

Is there the option of just not attuning my infused rifle while attuning to the war mage rod? Or does this disable the repeating shot infusion?

doesnt seem like it does from my testing just now

think I might go with that then

[uneven lantern]

Rules-wise, you can’t apply two infusions to the same item.

[civic tide]

Right now im thinking of running Repeating shot on the Rifle and Enhanced Defense on my armor
I assume I cant have a shield on my wrist when wielding two handed weapons right?

[uneven lantern]

A shield typically occupies your hand, which would prevent using a two-handed weapon.

[civic tide]

Think im gonna have to scrap the rifle idea and take a revolver instead since 17 AC wont cut it

[strong bramble]

All day I have received 403 Forbidden code when I try to sign in. How to I correct this?

[void ravine]

It shows that I'm not signed in when I go to marketplace.

@uneven lantern And it won't let me sign in when I'm in marketplace.

I took a screenshot of my purchase that I can show if it doesn't break any server guidelines.

I'm restarting my computer to see if that might fix the problem.

Same problem. It used to work.

I found the issue. I was at Master Tier. I was set on auto pay, but apparently it was turned off. I've since then re-subscribed as of now.

[strong bramble]

Thanks to whomever corrected this! I signed on today and everything works.

[real path]

I cant add any Amulet of the Devout to a new character

[uneven lantern]

Works for me, at least.

Have you purchased TCOE?

Or is this character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared?

Do you have 2014 Expanded Rules enabled for this character?

[real path]

yes I own tashas and I checked all the boxes

[uneven lantern]

If you check this page, are your Account Entitlements in sync? Is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[real path]

yes, and I can use other stuff from the book.

hmm let me check something

alright, I figured out what was causing the issue.

sorry to bother you. apparently, setting the checkboxes in the builder and then returning to the sheet wasnt enough. I needed to manually refresh the site too

[remote nest]

Um so I'm kinda new to dnd beyond, I'm used to just making charaters however I want but recently I've needed to turn my charater and put him into dnd beyond, it's kinda hard to do because I don't understand it- anyways I've been looking through Species and I can't find shifter or longtooth so what should I put my charatee as instead?

Sorry if this is the wrong channel

[loud drift]

Do you own either Eberron: Rising from the Last War or Monsters of the Multiverse on dnd beyond? If so you'll want to make sure that your entitledments are in sync at https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses and that the 2014 expanded rules box is checked on the first page of the character creator.

[uneven lantern]

Alternatively, someone in that campaign could potentially share the book with you.

[hasty sluice]

Hey, i have a question. I work on a new campaign and i have a question for a book.
Tales from the Yawning Portal, for the 5 Chapter, Dead in Thay.
I like to know if the map for player (without mark of secret door, trap) is in the book on dnd beyond.
Because i'll want the book, but without this map, i don't think i get it.

And second part, can we ask for a Refund after an purchase ?

Thanks for help, and sorry for my English 😅

[solemn pike]

Sorry for what might be a terrible 'boomer' question, but I just started with a subscription for Beyond, mainly because I wanted to be able to use workaround feats for some of the broken feats/functions in regular Beyond, notably the Ritual Caster Feat and the implementation of Custom Origins to select the Eldritch Adept Feat.

However, even after adding the workaround feats that others have created, I cannot seem to add them to my dropdown selections in my Beyond sheet.

What am I missing to be able to use these?

[halcyon plover]

have you turned the homebrew toggle on in the char sheet editors first page?

[solemn pike]

Yes.

I've also managed to get them 'added' via the Sheets' "Ignore Prereqs" on the preview sheet, but cannot seem to get the benefits to show up

I think I managed to get the Ritual Caster workaround Feat to work, so that's one down. But the Eldritch Adept one is trickier

[halcyon plover]

the issues might be that need to make a feat for each invocation for eldrich adapt and fighting for fighter init

[solemn pike]

Yeah, I selected the workaround feat that someone made called "Eldritch Adept: PAct of the Blade"

I guess it's a bit clunky to use workarounds, no matter if someone did the legwork already or not

[uneven lantern]

If the feat wasn’t set up correctly, that’s something you’d have to discuss with the person who created it.

[dire blade]

I make my own workarounds to make sure they work. Most are pretty easy. A workaround for Pact of the Blade likely won’t be able to actually convert your weapon attacks to use CHA, but you could modify the attack and damage rolls of your pact weapon manually to offset the difference, etc.

[uneven lantern]

Yes, it does include a player map with the secret doors removed.

As far as I know, all sales are final, though.

[hasty sluice]

okok ty ^^

[shadow cradle]

How do I link magic spells from 2025 rules into a species. My homebrew has access to a couple spells, how do I link those? I know it used to be [spells]Faerie Fire[/spells] for example.

[uneven lantern]

[spells]Faerie Fire[/spells] should do the trick, yeah.

[worn lake]

Anyone that uses dndbeyond understand how to set up homebrew subclasses ive been trying to figure it out but im mildly stumped just need a little help

[uneven lantern]

What have you got so far? Where exactly are you stuck?

[worn lake]

Im trying to add on a wis save that does damage but it also slows their speed down by 10 but im unsure what adds both instead of just the one effect

Also just new to it im trying to relatively understand everything

[uneven lantern]

If you want to add rollable damage, you’ll need to add an Action to your feature.

For the speed reduction, you’d just include that in the feature description / snippet.

[uneven lantern]

Broadly speaking, though, the best way to learn is to find an official feature that works like yours, then make a homebrew copy of that to see how it was set up.

Steal its secrets 🤫

[worn lake]

Ill try my best just need to get this sub for a campaign im in done so i can start

[worn lake]

Is there a way to see how official stuff is inputted into dndbeyond cause im a visual learner

[loud drift]

In the homebrew system choose to use something that you want to learn from to be the template.

[fallen coyote]

hii does anyone know if its possible to add a crooked moon dark bargain onto a blood hunter?

its not in the optional features tab for them :((

[hybrid nova]

It doesn't seem to be, same with Circle Casting. Perhaps the Dark Bargains and Circle Casting can be added to Blood Hunter, Illrigger. and Gunslinger where appropriate (for example, Circle Casting only being available to the magic-based subclasses for each)? I'd imagine optional universal features don't constitute "changing the class" and wouldn't require permission from the 3rd parties, but I could be wrong.

[fallen coyote]

thats a shame- thx tho! yeah i thought matt made blood hunter as a partnership so im not even sure who has the rights for bh atm

[hybrid nova]

It's on DMs Guild as well, so it's a bit of a gray area. At the very least, Beyond has been considerate about it and only changed it when he led the change (like when they updated it in 2022).

[dull jasper]

If I purchase the forgotten hero, would it only show up as my source book when it officially released?

[loud drift]

If you have a hero or master tier subscription then you'd have instant access, if you don't have a subscription then it will show up in your account on Tuesday.

[dull jasper]

I have hero, but when I create a character it doesnt show them

Ive downloaded the book on my app, but it doesnt seem to show up on the wizard subclass option.

[delicate hull]

did they ever add the ability to create homebrew eldritch invocations, because you cannot use the work around of making a subclass with alternative options before level 3 now that wotc have moved gaining a subclass to level 3

[edgy oriole]

Make sure you're using the 2024 wizard class

= 2014 wizard
= 2024 wizard

Also check that 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.

[hybrid nova]

They did not, but homebrew Feats work well enough.

[delicate hull]

thats true, i could make a homebrew origin feat and then just use lesson of the first ones about it now that you mention

[hybrid nova]

No need to make it origin (because Beyond doesn't see any homebrew Feat as an Origin Feat, it's either some behind-the-scenes coding or manually updated whenever new Origin Feats drop), just make sure the prereqs work and you can add it via the character sheet manually.

That way you can just leave the Invocation blank and take that instead.

[delicate hull]

wow, alright

[dull jasper]

Yup, the entitlement is sync and ive selected the 2024 wizard.

[hybrid nova]

Add via this button:

[edgy oriole]

Is the Expanded Rules toggle on? Make sure to toggle that on.

[dull jasper]

Yes sir, its toggles on 🙂

[edgy oriole]

And it's still not showing?

I'm stumped.

Very weird.

Might be time to contact Customer Support and see if they can figure out what's happening

[delicate hull]

interestingly, doing this only adds the benefits of the feat until i reload the character sheet, it still says i have the feat, but not the spell it gives

[uneven lantern]

Does this page show an active subscription? Is that book listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[dull jasper]

I think ive figured out the issue... I bought the wrong book....

[uneven lantern]

That would do it, yeah. 😅

You could try talking to customer support to see if they’ll exchange it:

[solemn pike]

I have Master Tier and I've been having issues with getting the early access stuff to show up as more than just the table of contents, as the moment I try to click on any linked entry, it takes me to "Buy!" page.

[odd scarab]

Do we know if we're getting the witch class from valdas spire eventually? Since we've got some of their content now on ddb?

[loud drift]

That would be a question for Mage Hand Press. It would be up to them to want to submit it to WotC/DDB.

[hybrid nova]

Presumably they're working on further Valda's content, but they might be splitting off full classes separately, like with Gunslinger. Regardless though, no one here will know what is or isn't coming until it releases or is announced.

[brazen niche]

anyone else getting 'page not found 404' errors with the FRAIF book on dndbeyond?

The Introduction loads, Capters 1 to 5 give 404 error, Chapters 6 and 7 load, Chap 8 is 404, Chap 9 loads, the atlas map loads, and when I click the Credits link.. it actuall takes me to chapter 1 (but has the credits url).

all of Heroes loads

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I’m seeing the same.

[uneven lantern]

Devs are looking into it.

[brazen niche]

looks like it's back up

there is still two dead links; in FRAIF, chapter 1, Realms Lore, the links to dndbeyond and dmsguild open to a page not found 404 error. (the link to the FR wiki opens fine).

[worn lake]

Ngl ive been searching for something similar to what im making and i cant (mostly cause i dont own any books ;-;)

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[rose turret]

why is it taking forever to load my character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t know. Mine is loading just fine.

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

[solemn pike]

Thank you, I did try that. Unfortunately testing with the new Realms Book, I get the contents page, but trying to open any article within the contents or follow any links from Beyond Feats listings, Spell listings, and so forth, only open a "Buy this book!" page, even though the licenses are valid and Master Tier is supposed to have early access to the book

[silk ember]

is there any way to see your subscription history? my account seems to have stopped renewing for an unknown reason

[loud drift]

On that same page does it show as a current product license? https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[solemn pike]

It does show a license

[loud drift]

Are you having trouble through both the website and the mobile app or only one of the locations?

[cinder kindle]

Hey, I was curious on when I could expect to gain access to both Netheril's Fall and Astarion's Book of Hungers?

[timid drift]

I ran across something tonight during my game... My 2024 Level 2 Cleric has "Channel Divinity: Divine Spark," and the PHB says I can roll 1d8 + WIS for the healing or damage. Except, the character sheet description on DNDBeyond says 2d8 + WIS. Meanwhile, the actual in-site text also says 1d8 (congruent with the PHB). Does anyone know why?

[edgy oriole]

Sometime within the next 24-48 hours (basically before it's 9/12 pacific).

Unless there's technical issues and they have to delay but they would announce that.

[rigid kettle]

Hello is the Astarion’s Book of Hungers, and other digital bit coming out as stand alones or only way to get them if you do the bundle

[rigid kettle]

Ulive just asked that also

[loud drift]

They will be available separately for $14.99 each for the book supplements and $5.99 each for the map pack and dice.

[rigid kettle]

When are they dropping do you know ???

[loud drift]

Today at some point, exact time is unknown but there should be an announcement in #dnd-announcements when they're ready.

[near ember]

I suspect between <t:1762880434:f> and <t:1762916400:f> if there is no delay

[vivid flicker]

the server will also post up a notification when they are ready

usually folks can see them earlier (sometimes) but it's part of the roll out so it is recommended to wait until the official announcement is made before accessing fully or purchasing.

[rigid kettle]

Sweet 👌 cheers all

[brazen niche]

looks like I have access to both Astarion and Netheril now, but.. I am not yet seeing Lorwyn: First Light

[hybrid nova]

I think Lorwyn was supposed to come later. That said, I also have Astarion and Netheril now, but cannot see the monsters in the general monster listing for Astarion.

I can access the book fine, though.

[brazen niche]

oooh!!! that's right! It's november 18th for Lorwin

[hybrid nova]

On an unrelated note: I watch your youtube channel. Keep up the good work!

[brazen niche]

oh! thanks! 🙂

[wind aurora]

I preordered the digital books but have non of the extras is that right?

[loud drift]

If you bought the digital bundle or the ultimate bundle then you should have access to astarian's book of hungers and netheril's fall starting today. If you bought the books separately then you'll have to buy the supplements separately too.

[wind aurora]

I bought the digital bundle! How strange

Does dnd beyond have an easily reachable customer service or is it the fill in a form and wait thing?

[edgy oriole]

It's the Zendesk ticket system: http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[brazen niche]

make sure your licenses are in sync too. I've seen that goof up on my end in the past, syncing them fixed it right up.

[wind aurora]

[deep goblet]

Are the new smaller books pdfs or accessible on ddb only?

Astarion's book of hunger?

[dense viper]

Probably only on ddb as most books arent available in pdf forms

[deep goblet]

Cool, more disappointment. ddb exclusive so no Foundry, and now I can't even print it out for in person use.

Hello support Ive been having a question for lil bit and alll I would like to know is how to make a homebrew speices

Im trying to play a campaign that my friend is running and I want to play as a mimic

so I just want to know how to do that

Im new

[dense viper]

The best way to learn the homebrew system is to play around with it.
You can also start by maybe finding something official that does close to what you want and make a copy of it in the homebrew system so you can see how its done

[north blaze]

I dont really know what the "Homebrew system" is or how to get to it

I only recently got ddb

nvm I found it

thank you

[loud drift]

It gets updates with each 1st party book release and each time they add a 3rd party book.

[uneven lantern]

You’re referring to this Dhampir? There’s a few of them.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/species/2038805-dhampir

[eager hazel]

no it's from Astarian's book

I didn't have the legacy versions before today in the first place and it says the source is from Astarian's book

I purchased the bundle btw so it's not weird that it's there, I'm just wondering when I'll be able to actually have the books from the bundle in my library

I can access them through the email I got saying they're out now, but not in my library

in app

[uneven lantern]

So you’re saying you have access to the book on the website but not in the app?

I’d recommend checking if your entitlements are in sync, and then force-closing and restarting the app.

AFAIK, that would only happens if your entitlements are out of sync.

[lethal fjord]

Hello there. I'm an old D&D master, from an age of pencils and papers. I'm starting with Discord and DndBeyond now and i have a question. One of my players want to build a Necromancer in DndBeyond. Since the Necromancer subclass isn't present in Players Handbook 2024, I have to buy the Players Handbook 2014 (I have It, but physical) in DndBeyond to use it?

[uneven lantern]

If you want to use the built-in version, yeah.

If you’ve already got the physical book, though, you could potentially use the site’s homebrew tools to rebuild that subclass.

[sonic hazel]

I dunno where to put this, but every time I try to buy the new "Astarion's Book of Hungers," it says something went wrong with processing my payments. Is something wrong with the site?

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in another browser, on another device, or with another payment method?

[maiden swift]

It looks like on Beyond both the 2024 Dhampir species and the new backgrounds are both giving a stat boost on 2024 characters, when I think just the background is supposed to do that in this version of the game.

(The background gives it's boost as usual, but there's also a boost you can select in the Ability tab that is seperate and stacks with the background one.)

[arctic roost]

Is there any update on this. It keeps happening to me T.T

[uneven lantern]

It seems to also expect a level 1 feature at the moment.

(Which is doubly strange given that you don't pick your subclass until level 3. 😅)

It's been passed on to the devs for review, but I don't know the status beyond that.

If this is just for your own game, you can safely ignore those warnings, though. Your own personal homebrew is already shared with your campaigns automatically; no need to publish.

[arctic roost]

its not an own game, I need to publish it for others to see. But I will try to give it a lvl 1 feature to see if it works

[edgy oriole]

You don’t have to publish homebrew to use it in your DnDBeyond games and share it in a DnDBeyond campaign. Publishing is only needed if you want to share it with the global DnDBeyond community

[uneven lantern]

By "your own game," I meant any DDB campaign you're in -- whether you're the DM or a player.

[arctic roost]

it did work the puting a lvl 1 feature

[uncut hazel]

i am having trouble with content sharing. i am in a campaign where the dm shared his content with me but it does now show up among my options on character creation. is there something i need to do on my end to get access to it?

i went on create a new charachter in the campaign so i think so

i will check the entitlements

yeah it was not in sync thanks for the fix

I am an old school DM as well, just online last year. I have had a lot of success using the homebrew feature of DDBeyond. I use it for classes, backgrounds, monsters with tokens, weapons they can choose from the inventory list, items they can move or items that cover secret passage.

[timid drift]

Bumping this for review. Any ideas why the character sheet and all other documentation is mismatched? Is this a known issue or something worth flagging with the devs? Or did I just miss a character or background trait?

[uneven lantern]

That’s a known issue. The 2d8 is wrong.

But it’s already been reported to the devs.

[timid drift]

Hi I asked in the Forum but didn't get a response. Was wondering about the Blood Hunter class. In the character builder I am unable to choose an otherworldly patron. I get the drop down but the only option is "-Choose a Level 3 Option-". From what I can tell I have everything enabled, but I don't know how to get this to work.

[uneven lantern]

You’re using Order of the Profane Soul?

Try switching to Order of the Profane Soul (INT), or Order of the Profane Soul (WIS).

You’ll need to give it the RealmsFeat2025 tag and then publish it to enter.

Alright, thanks!

You might try disabling all your extensions in the first browser to see if that solves the issue.

If it does, you can re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.

i had a ticket open for this the support dident help at all so what is going on is im trying to share content (IM the dm) but when i do my players cant use any of it

[astral void]

basically i made it, but it's not showing up as a created monster. not for me not for anyone (i don't plan making it public)
so i can't add it as a monster because it's not under the 2014 rule thing or any of the other options
it does show up as a created creature though
but i can't make my custom subclass if i don't fix it

can anyone help?

i made a monster but i can't add it to my subclass

custom*

[dire blade]

Is it added to your homebrew collection? Also, how are you adding a monster to a subclass? Can you not simply say what it is and then add it in the character's Extras tab?

[astral void]

this screen

[astral void]

it's doable but i wanna at least try to make it a full thing, with options and all

wait collection?

yeah it looks like it is

unless i gotta make it myself

[dire blade]

There are lots of possibilities for this issue:

• Make sure the players are creating their characters in the campaign where it is being shared with them.
• Make sure the shared material is turned on in the character sheet (ie. Expanded Rules) and campaign
• Make sure that your entitlements are synced as the one sharing

[dense viper]

And make sure your sub is indeed active and hasnt lapsed

[dire blade]

I don't think this screen works that way. This is the "Creatures" tab on a subclass feature, right? I believe this was only designed to work with the 2014 Beastmaster IIRC, and wasn't built for use with Homebrew. Perhaps spam knows the trick here and this just isn't an area I've exposure to.

Honestly, what I'd recommend is using HTML directly in the subclass feature to add a link to the monster's stat block in your homebrew collection. This will work for private homebrew (ignore the warning). Or you can use the Extras tab, as noted before.

[astral void]

i was gonna make it so i unlocked "class feature" by the level, who's spam?

[astral void]

is spam a person in the server?

[uneven lantern]

👋

When creating a subclass, the Creatures option limits what choices are available when adding an Extra to the character sheet.

Circle of the Moon, for example, uses it so that when you try to select your Wild Shape forms there, only the valid forms are shown by default.

It sounds like what you're trying to do is to just automatically add a creature to the Extras tab for that character, which isn't possible.

[dire blade]

This matches what I was suspecting, yeah, but I didn't want to say something and then be terribly wrong. Thanks for confirming.

[astral void]

aa well unfortunate

[uneven lantern]

If this subclass is just for your own use, I wouldn't even worry about trying to add it to the subclass directly. I'd just add it to the character sheet instead.

[astral void]

hmm directly?

i'm still kinda new to this

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

On the character sheet is a tab called Extras.

[astral void]

ohh like that

slow brain

gotcha

[uneven lantern]

If you go there and click Manage Extras, you can add a monster statblock for easy reference.

[dire blade]

Yes, that's what I was suggesting you do originally, but I appreciate you wanted to automate the process.

[astral void]

i have the custom monster, and i have another 4 i gotta make

well in any case

thank you for the help

i was gonna make actual choices for the class like you see some places, and it would be in the template or at least similar to this picture

like in artificer when you choose what spirit cannon to use

sorry for conversing here

[uneven lantern]

As an alternative, you could make a homebrew copy of Artillerist or Beast Master to see how those were set up.

Those don't use a separate monster statblock, but just list its stats in the subclass itself.

[astral void]

oh that's true

i'll look into it

i can still make it work :D

[dire blade]

I think you set those up by writing in the HTML itself directly for the stat block into the description.

[sage compass]

hi I have made a monk Dampier, but I dont seem to be getting prof for the unarmed strike (Bite) ability, is this a glitch or am I missing something?

[uneven lantern]

That’s been reported to the devs already.

[woeful flicker]

Hi, I am DMing for the first time, i noticed my friend’s characters have mastery on some weapons at lvl 1, how do I turn this off?

[hybrid nova]

You don't. If you're using '14 rules, ignore it. If you're using the '24 rules, they can only use it if they have the Weapon Mastery feature.

[dire blade]

Options:

• Remove the Weapon Mastery selections on the character
• Use a 2014 class instead of a 2024 class

[hybrid nova]

The effects are listed under the weapons' descriptions, but that doesn't mean they are able to use them.

And yes, make sure they're using a '14 class if you're using '14 rules.

[woeful flicker]

So i am pretty sure i am using 14 class, it saids so in character sheets. I am on DnDBeyond.

How do i remove mastery selections?

[fading bramble]

If they are getting Masteries, they are not using 2014

[hybrid nova]

If you have the selections for them, you are not using a '14 class.

[woeful flicker]

I see

[fading bramble]

What class are they

[woeful flicker]

This is one example, this is a paladin

This is what i see

[hybrid nova]

Make sure the character has "Core Rules" unchecked on their home tab if you want to be using a '14 class.

[fading bramble]

Are they using and not

[uneven lantern]

is the 2024 class.

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, make sure you're actually using the Paladin from the 2014 Core Rules category.

[fading bramble]

cuz it just looks like they have the 2024 one

[hybrid nova]

You'll want to scroll down on the class selection page, or just disable the Core Rules so it doesn't show up.

[dire blade]

I would answer but everyone else seems to got it.

[woeful flicker]

Okay so i disabled everything and it is still appearing as weapon mastery

[hybrid nova]

You will still have to change to the other version of the class.

[uneven lantern]

If you don’t want them to use the 2024 Paladin class, they’ll need to remove their class entirely.

[hybrid nova]

You're currently on the '24 class, so you'll have to remove it and re-add the old one.

[uneven lantern]

And then select Paladin instead, under 2014 Core Rules.

[woeful flicker]

Hmm, i see, okay thanks for explaining that

I am new to this

[uneven lantern]

If you don’t want them choosing any 2024 options, you should turn off Core Rules and leave only 2014 Core Rules.

[hybrid nova]

Basically, before you select class, background, species, etc, you want to set up your filters so you don't pick the wrong stuff.

[woeful flicker]

Got it, so it’s too late now haha

[hybrid nova]

Either that, or just know what you're looking for. If you're not sure, filters are there for that.

[topaz tendon]

I recently purchased Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and Xanathar's Guide to Everything (both digital and physical copies for both) through the website on a desktop. I do not see the content from these when I go to create a character using the character builder. Is there something I need to do to have it enabled? I have both core rules and expanded rules selected.

[loud drift]

You'll want to make sure that your entitlements are in sync, which should have happened by itself by now, and on the first page of character creation you'll want to make sure the box for 2014 expanded rules is checked.

?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.

[topaz tendon]

That says that my entitlements are in sync and has since I purchased the books.

[loud drift]

On the same page do you see the books listed under Current Product License?

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of something you’re unable to select?

[topaz tendon]

Subclasses, the artificer class. I'm sure there's a lot of others as well. I'm pretty new so I wouldn't know what all would be there

[topaz tendon]

I do.

[loud drift]

Can you access the following page? https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/xgte

[topaz tendon]

Yes. I can navigate to all the links on that page and view the contents of them.

[uneven lantern]

When selecting your class, did you scroll down to the 2014 Expanded Rules section?

It won’t be at the top by barbarian.

[topaz tendon]

I do not have those rules selected. I only have the core rules and expanded rules, not the 2014 ones.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need 2014 Expanded Rules enabled to use anything from those books.

[topaz tendon]

Ah, so there aren't versions for the modern books?

[uneven lantern]

Some of the things from those books were updated in the 2024 PHB.

But the books themselves haven’t been updated as a whole, no.

[topaz tendon]

Okay. So are they compatible with one another?

Just want to make sure before I roll a character I can't use!

[uneven lantern]

Mostly 😅

For the subclasses that were updated in the PHB, only the PHB subclass is supported on the 2024 class.

[topaz tendon]

So like, the Arcane Archer which isn't in the PHB would be okay to use the version from XGTE?

[uneven lantern]

TCOE’s Optional Class Features likewise aren’t supported on the 2024 classes, since those features were mostly built into the new classes themselves.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, Arcane Archer would work.

[unkempt wraith]

Is it normal that the Monsters from Flee Mortals can't be found in the search menu, only in the book itself?

[dire blade]

Yes, partnered content doesn’t show in the search. The search is a consistent source of DDB feedback, so I’m sure the devs are aware of a desire to improve it.

[uneven lantern]

It won't show up in the global search menu at the top of the site, yeah. It'll show up on the Monsters page if you change the "Partnered Content" filter to "Yes".

[unkempt wraith]

thankssssss that helps a lot <3

[brazen niche]

not sure if this would be considered for support or not, so please forgive me if I'm asking in the wrong location.. I'm looking through my physical books versus the dndbeyond books of the new Forgotten Realms material. I notice that in the Heroes book we get the big fold out map, it's dndbyond counterpart as an appendix listed for the atlas. In the physical book for Adventures, the last page is the Calendar of Harpos, yet on the dndbeyond version the appendix is also the atlas. Is that appendix supposed to be the calendar instead? I only ask because.. my eyes are horrid with cataracts and the text is super tiny in that calendar, I'd love to see it on dndbeyond. again, apologies if this should be asked somewhere else.

(as an added thing... IF WotC were to produce a physical wall calendar of Harpos... I'd buy it up in a hearbeat)

[uneven lantern]

The map appendix is intentional. The missing calendar likely is not. I'll flag it with the devs.

[true belfry]

Hey asking my questions in this channel also, but please let me know if is not "support related", thank you

Hello, hope everyone is doing well 👋🏻

Wanted to know if all the features mention here are still on the way to be release in 2025, since there is only 1 and 1/2 month before the end of the year?
Would be great if we could get more regular updates, no necessarly only when something new comes out, but small post form time to time to let us know if the team is on track. Even a more reccurent changelog about bugfixes I think would be appreciated from the community.

I know the team works hard (no complaints on my end, I love the product), much love, have a good day all, thank you

[uneven lantern]

Sorry to say I don’t think anyone here knows the current status of those feature.

[true belfry]

Is there anyway to ask or to forward that message to the team or community rep?

[uneven lantern]

I actually did that the first time you asked.

[true belfry]

Thank you

[twin badge]

I'd also really like to hear anything on this front. I've been waiting, wondering every session "Is this the week we get 3d dice in maps?!", but still no dice.

[bitter dune]

Hey, new to this Discord so hoping I’m putting this in the correct channel.
I published a feat for ‘The Realms Will Know Your Name’ Feat competition.
Does anyone know, if I ‘Create New Version’ and publish this, does it over-write the old one?
I now want to edit the name and description, but don’t want to break the ‘One submission per person’ rule by mistake as they both will have the competition Tag.

[loud drift]

Once they're published they can't be edited and creating a new one even as a copy of the existing one wouldn't overwrite it. As far as switching out which one is submitted for the contest, maybe one of the mods can help out?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, go ahead and do it.

It doesn't technically overwrite the old version, but it does show the newest version by default.

[bitter dune]

That’s great, thank you for the help

[verbal creek]

Hey, I'm having trouble addressing the error preventing me from publishing a subclass for the 2024 Rogue. I didn't have that issue with its 2014 counterpart.

I tried adding then removing a placeholder feature as well as reapplying a feature.

[dire blade]

I believe the issue is that you have too many features. It is expecting two level 3 features and one level 9 feature. That said, you do not need to publish homebrew to use it in your own games, and in-fact it is recommended to not publish it if the intention is to use it in your games as that makes editing and tweaking it later harder (as you have to leave the original, less polished versions up).

[verbal creek]

I'll give that a try.

I wonder why it worked for the 2014 version.

[dire blade]

Not sure! If I were a guessing web dev, I might imagine they did it to make sure all 3rd party subclasses conformed if they wanted to be on the site.

[verbal creek]

Nope, didn't do the trick! Do I have to start over?

[dire blade]

🤔 Did you start by copying an existing subclass or creating one from scratch?

I usually start by copying and don't have this issue. Most recent one I did was a Wizard.

[uneven lantern]

You just need one Granted feature at each of the required levels.

Additional features (at those levels or any other) shouldn't be an issue.

We did find the other day that Fighters were also requiring a level 1 feature for some reason. It's possible that same issue is affecting Rogues, too...

[dire blade]

Good to know.

[short tiger]

For Maps VTT tool the Feedback button that is supposed to appear on the right-hand side (according to the Support FAQ) doesn't appear. Tested on Chrome, Firefox and Opera GX on windows 10 with all extensions and VPNs disabled.

That button will not appear if you’ve opted out of analytics cookies. You can check in the My Privacy Choices link at the bottom of the site’s homepage.

Some ad blockers hide it as well.

[raven horizon]

ok i just want to make sure that i got this right:

this will require,

for the player to meet or exceed one or the other score correct?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[stable grotto]

You guys check this stuff out.

[uneven lantern]

Neat list! Were you looking for #homebrew, though? (This channel is for getting help with D&D Beyond.)

[ornate summit]

Do you guys know how add choosing a weapon mastery onto a subclass feature?

I tried looking at the weapon master feat for a hint but it had nothing and the actual weapon mastery modifier only lets you choose one and I don’t know to what extent the choice does

I may have missed something

[rancid solar]

Anyone know why my pre-ordered Forgotten Realms books are still not unlocked?

[hardy pulsar]

I think there's a bugged with content sharing on as I can't select the new Dhampir race even with my GM having the content sharing on in his campaign? I have said character in my GMs campaign with content sharing on

Question I accidentally wrongly posted on the feedback channel

[edgy oriole]

[swift perch]

I can't find the Draconic Spirt (5th level Summon Dragon) summon in the extra

[floral cairn]

Hope this is the right place for this but when making a homebrew feat on D&D Beyond, how do I get a shortened version of the feat to display naturally on a character sheet? For example, the Weapon Mastery feature for fighters shows the full text and options when clicking on the feat in a character sheet but by default shows fewer details. I have a somewhat wordy feat that I don’t want cluttering up the Actions page of a character sheet so I need to have the same format apply to mine as described above

[dire blade]

It’s not in Extras, it’s in the spell’s text itself. If you want it to be in Extras you can homebrew a monster stat block for it and then add it.

[dire blade]

There is a second section for the homebrew feat’s text that can be shorter which is located above the main text block and is used exclusively in the character. Simply make that shorter. I recommend looking at how official feats are made to see how this works if it is unclear (create a copy of an existing feat to see how they’re made).

[uneven lantern]

Anything you put in the Snippet field will be shown on the sheet itself.

[floral cairn]

I figured that’s what that was for, I have my shortened text in the snippet field but it doesn’t appear on the sheet. I used another feature as a template to be sure that’s how it worked and it appears to just not be functioning for me lol

[dire blade]

You’re likely running up against the cache timing for the feat. The site only caches new changes to homebrew content on sheets once every 15 minutes or so. If you make a change and don’t see the change reflected in your testing, you need to wait for it to recache.

[floral cairn]

Word, thanks

[keen harbor]

While using the DNDBeyond app on an iPad, while looking at the sources Xanathar’s Guide, in the table of “Major Items, Rare”, the link to “Daern’s Instant Fortress” brings up a notification box that the link is invalid.

[uneven lantern]

It works for me. Do you have the 2014 DMG downloaded in the app as well?

[misty sonnet]

Hello, i got a email that i received a 6 month subscribtion for testing sigil, it said i will receive it in 7 days and it was more then 7 days, can someone tell me if its real or not and what to do. And i am sorry that i am writing here because CS doesnt work on dnd beyond for me.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s real.

We previously reported the Master Tier subscription would be automatically granted to all eligible users without any required action. Due to unforeseen technical circumstances, we’ve now e-mailed all eligible users and require you to please open the e-mail and click the "Redeem Now" button to authenticate your six-month Master Tier subscription credit.

[misty sonnet]

Thank you, And what i am supposed to do now? Should i wait more?

[keen harbor]

Interesting. I only have the 2024 DMG. Perhaps that is the problem. However, I notice that “Bead of Refreshment” seems to go to the 2024 DMG. The Marketplace version of Xanather’s says it is compatible with the new core rule books, so I figured it was likely that the link just was broken to the new material or something like that. I hope they can fix it. It doesn’t seem right to require access to the old core rule books if this is supposed to be compatible with the new ones.

[misty sonnet]

Where can i find my registration code?

[uneven lantern]

I’m not sure. If you’re unable to contact customer support, then I’d recommend asking on Sigil’s own Discord server. They’ll probably have more information.

[misty sonnet]

i can now but where i can find my registration code?

[uneven lantern]

Like I said, I don’t know.

I’d recommend asking on the Sigil server.

[misty sonnet]

ok thank you

[rancid solar]

I can't see it no, the order history just says 'Pre-order' too

[uneven lantern]

You can’t see what, exactly?

Are you saying that book is not listed under Current Product Licenses?

[rancid solar]

Yes. Correct. It’s not in my list but pre-ordered when pre-orders opened.

Neither of the Forgotten Realms books are there and I purchased the bundle.

[uneven lantern]

Did you preorder it on D&D Beyond itself, or on dndstore.wizards.com?

[rancid solar]

dndstore

It’s where dndbeyond directs me to

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to redeem your code from that site before you’ll be able to access it on D&D Beyond.

There should be a link in your purchase confirmation email.

[rancid solar]

It has no code

[uneven lantern]

Then you might not have been charged for the purchase yet.

I think there should be a button there that lets you manually submit the payment.

After which the code should be available.

[rancid solar]

Thank you, that's done it

[hoary basalt]

I’ve been trying to make a new cleric subclass on dndBeyond’s homebrew maker, but keep getting “This homebrew subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels”

The features are,

one channel divinity at level 2 and features at levels 1,1,2,6,8,17

there’s “Channel Divinity: Twisting Chaos” at lvl 2 and “Divine Strike” at lvl 8

I’m pretty sure those are the only ones where the name really matters.

Am I missing something or is dnd beyond just tweaking??

[misty temple]

Hey, I’m working on some homebrew on my phone and I’m unable to look at the descriptions of the things I’m adding that are in the question marks and stuff

[edgy radish]

is there a reason why this ranger's spellcasting is scaling with dexterity and not wisdom?

[uneven lantern]

If you view the subclass, what icon does it show at the top? or ?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, those don’t work well on mobile. 😅

Is there a specific field you had questions about, though?

[uneven lantern]

The more likely explanation is that there’s something else (a magic item, maybe) that’s adding an additional bonus.

Can you share a link to that character? Please make sure in their character settings that “Character Privacy” is set to “Public”, too.

[edgy radish]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/139812709

[hoary basalt]

The 1st one

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, there’s a lot of homebrew on there…

If you temporarily change your DEX, does the spellcasting modifier change?

What about WIS?

What if you unequip all your items?

[uneven lantern]

That’s the 2024 Cleric, which follows a different subclass progression.

You’d need 3, 6, 8, and 17 for that class.

If you wanted a subclass for the 2014 Cleric, you’ll have to rebuild it for that class instead.

[steep moon]

hey can somebody help me out with homebrew feat creation? having an issue that's getting annoying

also magic items tbh - trying to give my players spells to play with that aren't normally available to their classes/from other homebrew methods but the spells keep turning out like this:
https://puu.sh/KDY60/50319f408e.png
I made a feat called "Lichdom Acolyte" as a way to slowly grant necromancy based powers and spells that are meant to be cast using the character's existing spell slots, and added the Feign Death spell to it in the feat builder, but when viewed in the character sheet it always comes up as "at will" instead of "cast"

how do I fix this so it comes up as "cast" instead of "at will"

[uneven lantern]

You’ll only be able to do this by adding them through the character’s subclass instead.

[steep moon]

goddamnit

thanks for the heads up, might be able to fenagle something since the subclass is homebrew for this campaign too

[meager mesa]

there is an error on sorcerous burst, the thunder damages appear as 1d8 instead of 2d8

it doesnt appear to scale properly with the level

same with Dragon's Breath, on 3rd level the scaling doesn't work

also, if you select a level 2 spell, it will show the pop up on side for the full detailed spell, if you click the same spell in an other level to see its description the pop up doesn't actualize considering it clicks on the same spell

[misty temple]

Hey, I'm making a spellcasting monster and am unsure if I should put spells in the in regular action or ranged action?

[dire blade]

You can do whatever you want when homebrewing monsters, but with 2024 sensibilities they would be under the Actions section within a Spellcasting action. You could incorporate that into the Multiattack if you want.

Some monsters have Bonus Action spellcasting as well if that speaks to you.

If you want to discuss this further, it probably goes in #homebrew.

[floral cairn]

Solved the case of the missing snippets. Faulty snippet code in a snippet field in the feat will prevent any snippet text from showing up. In this case I was typing “<strong>” on either side of a word I wanted bolded but you have to do “<strong>SAMPLE TEXT</strong>”

God I can’t believe one slash was my issue.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[royal venture]

Hello. I have a problem in that I have not received any information about the delivery of my order. I pre-ordered the Forgotten Realms Bundle from Hungary in Europe. I received the online version, but the order history on https://dndstore.wizards.com/ only shows a validated status. I have not received an email about the delivery of the package either. What information should I provide to get help?

[loud drift]

If you contact the support team through that specific website and give the order number and the info you just told us they should be able to give you the info you seek.

[royal venture]

I contacted them, but I haven't received a reply in four days 🙁

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to redeem a code before you can access it on D&D Beyond. There should be a link in your purchase confirmation email. If you can’t find the code, it’s possible you haven’t been charged yet; there should be an option on that site to manually submit the payment and get your code.

[royal venture]

It's not the online version that I have a problem with. I have a problem with the delivery of the physical version. I haven't received any information about it. It's been paid for, but to no avail.

The digital version works perfectly. I don't know anything about the physical version at the moment because I haven't received any information about the delivery.

I notice my 2014 sorcerer has an arcane focus as well a sa component pouch. I do recall sitting down with someone over discord in 2023 to go over my character's inventory, and them recommending an arcane focus over a component pouch. I think what might have happened was, I chose a component pouch upon creating my character in 2020, and chose an arcane focus in 2023, without knowing I already had a component pouch. So, just to confirm, you can technically choose for both of these things to be present in your character's inventory in a dndbeyond character sheet, even if that's not adhering to RAW?

[edgy oriole]

Yes - folks can add things to their sheets that don't adhere to rules. Or to DM's allowance.

[lapis ridge]

The Path of the Fractured's Face of Rage isn't applying STR Mod or Rage Mod to Damage like it should be. Nor is it showing a "To Hit", and it is supposed to.

At least from everything I am seeing in the Ghostfire Discord.

[gentle hull]

Support needed: today while playing I ran into a problem with VTT it seemed to have glitched out and wouldn't load in properly. Is this a known issue?

[balmy geyser]

Support needed: On November 1st I was charged $54.99, and there is nothing in my order history indicating why or what it was for. Several emails to support have gone unanswered. After some more digging, I see that some folks have been charged for annual Master Tier subscriptions, though the anecdotal evidence I've seen was with folks who had just signed up. However, I've been a Master Tier subscriber since 2017 or 2018.

Also. An Illrigger, with Bravado. 1 Level of monk and a shield equipped is stacking all the AC bonuses.. and it very much should not be

Actually looking like Monk Unarmored AC is just broken. Its applying even when it shouldn't be. Such as with Armor or a Shield Equipped, and is stacking with other sources of Unarmored AC

[slate arch]

I have a question. I want to create a character on D&D Beyond using a class from an outside source, specifically the Merchant class from the Dungeon Masters Guild. Is there a way to get it on D&D Beyond?

[edgy oriole]

Not really as DnDBeyond does not support homebrew classes - only subclasses.
You might be able to fake it using a core class that has similar mechanical features and use custom feats to create the features needed.
But DnDBeyond would not be a great way to handle that IMO. You will probably have better luck using the PDF sheet and filling in the features manually.

[shrewd knoll]

For reasons I'm unsure of, sometimes when I try to access a particular character I made with the dhampir species using my early access before the full release was not allowing me to see any options in the character edit screen on occasion. The bug is wildly inconsistent and seems to have fixed itself. I'll likely mention it again if it resurfaces, but I wanted to mention it so it's known a bug that removes all the character edit options while keeping the description normally at the top of each page visible only.

I'm trying to allow a choice of weapon mastery (like how you can do with ability scores), but it only allows me to pick a set one to give. (I'm half asleep so I'm sorry if this comes across unintelligible)

something like this but for Weapon Mastery

Something that would technically work is
1 add an options for every weapon mastery you want the players to choose between.
2 add all as a modifier and write down that you have to choose one.

[lean flume]

Hello, I believe I've found some incorrect application of some of the new feats and features in Astarion's Book of Hungers.

I made a post linking an initial question if it was added correctly to which the consensus is no in #dnd-rules message

But to re-explain it here; The 2024 Dhampir as well as feats like Vampire's Plaything may not be applied correctly to player's character sheets. This is specifically for Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest features i.e. the Dhampir's Bite showing PB per use for each empowerment option (PB uses for Strengthen and PB uses for Drain) rather than a total amount equal to a character's PB bonus. An example is a PC with PB=3 having 3 uses of Bite empowerment in 5e (3 total for bite options) but 6 uses of empowerment for 2024 (3 for each bite option)

There is the same issue with the Timely Retreat feature of the Vampire's Plaything's Feat as it also gives PB/Long Rest uses of Dash and Disengage but it shows on the character sheet PB uses of Dash and PB uses of Disengage rather than a combined pool of PB uses for both.

[uneven lantern]

Dhampir's been reported already, but I've added Vampire's Plaything to the list. Thanks!

[opaque obsidian]

This is something weird(!?!) with D&D Beyond. My character has recently received a Heward's Handy Haversack, I decided to move all the equipment I currently have in the Backpack to the Heward's Handy Haversack. Once moved I wanted to move the now empty Backpack into the Haversack, but I can't. The Backpack is a normal Backpack (non-magical) while the Haversack is magical. I kind of realize that this is more like a programming issue - i.e., not wanting to have other containers inside other containers inside other containers ... etc. but that just seems like you should be able to allow or do a bit of that (store an empty Backpack inside a magical container that would hold it).

[sage compass]

its more work in the long run (compared to just leaving it empty on your sheet) but you could create a custom item called backpack and put that in then delete the real one for now and just replace it if you ever want to get it out

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the system doesn’t currently allow containers in containers.

From the 2014 Core Rules, only Grappler is available as part of the free Basic Rules, and characters need a Str. of at least 13 to qualify.

The remaining feats are included in the 2014 PHB.

Ahh oky

(The 2024 Basic Rules has a broader selection available.)

Thanks!

Hey just curious because I've been searching for a while but has Tempest Domain Cleric been updated into the 2024 books yet or do we still just have to use the 2014 rules for the time being? If so, what book was Tempest Domain released in for the newer rulebooks/expansion books?

[uneven lantern]

Tempest Domain is found only the 2014 PHB.

The website isn't letting me make a custom Species after I put the first round of info in it says 403 ERROR

Is anyone else having issues with DND Beyond VTT and it not loading in properly?

[edgy oriole]

It's loading and working fine for me. Maybe try clearing your browser cache and restarting your browser and see if that cleans out any tech gremlins?

[uneven lantern]

Try clearing your site cache and cookies.

[analog hazel]

how do I do that?

[uneven lantern]

Depends on your browser.

[analog hazel]

I found where i can and it didn't work

Are you blocking JavaScript, running any adblockers, stuff like that? It tends to interfere with DNDB's site functions.

I just created a random species myself and it worked fine. Maybe try making a copy of another species and then editing if creating one from scratch isn't working.

[uneven lantern]

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

[analog hazel]

No I can make literally anything else homebrew, I made a monster, A spell and a magic item and it worked just fine

[analog hazel]

same issue everywhere

[uneven lantern]

Are you using a VPN or any security software like Kaspersky?

[analog hazel]

I am not

[uneven lantern]

I honestly don’t know, then. I’d recommend contacting customer support to see if they can give you more information.
