Thank you No matter what you help everytime 🫡

[crisp hound]

So if I'm making a custom feat and adding official legacy spells to it, how do I set the save DC of those spells?

They all should have a save DC of 18 regardless of any modifiers

[crisp hound]

I've got it set up like this, but it doesn't show save DC on the other screen for it

[dire blade]

There are no official feats that add fixed DC spells to a character as far as I know, so it is not cleanly supported in that context. My recommendation here would be to add the adjustment in the Additional Description field for reference.

[minor elm]

does anyone know a free and easy map builder to use been trying to find stuff to use for map creation and haven't been able to find anything that won't charge an arm and a leg

[fading bramble]

#dnd-maps

[near ember]

What do you want the feat to do? (I posted a way to do it below and I can help you find something better if you want)
You can remake the spell as an "action" and set the dc there (but that is annoying to do)

[zinc bluff]

hello everyone, i have a little frustrating problem to what i can't find any other solutions than the one everyone i suggesting online.
i'm trying to join a campaign of my friend and everytime i try i get the 504 gateway error. the link works, because his wife could join and when i created one he could join me.
i tried everything, cookies, different machines, browsers, mobile data etc and i can't get in

[near ember]

Can you ask your friend if there are not 12 players in that campaign
And check if your Internet is working properly

[near ember]

Error 504 on dnd beyond is usually a problem whit the connection to the server from your device

[crisp hound]

Yeah I might just have to do that. Basically my character got turned into a dragon and my DM is letting me pick some extra spells because of that, but they are constrained to adult dragon stuff hence the DC 18 and I can't add them normally because of spell limits on the character sheet

[near ember]

If you own the book the your subclass is from you can coppy it and add the spells in your extended spell list

[crisp hound]

It's not a subclass thing though it's I got True Polymorphed into a dragon but the DM made it fully permanent for me for backstory reasons

[loud drift]

You might be able to create a magic item that has the spell on it with a custom set DC and be able to set any kind of use limits if the DM has specified that. Anything that adds the spell directly to your spell sheet though is going to follow the rule of DC = 8 + PB + spell casting modifier.

[clear hull]

Honestly, all current weird problems with any website or service I’d venture a guess and say it’s related the global cloudflare outage. Try again later or tomorrow.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[drifting glacier]

I have a sorcerer player who's spell save DC is displaying wrong. She has a +4 Charisma and a +3 proficiency bonus, which displays as a +7 spell attack, but a spell save DC of 16, when I think it should be 15 (8+4+3). She has no magic items that should be affecting this. I thought perhaps it was innate sorcery, but I can't recreate that myself in other sheets

[dire blade]

Can you link to the character's sheet?

(And make it publicly visible)

[drifting glacier]

www.dndbeyond.com/characters/144906526/jCvxwy

Seems like the channel disallows hyperlinking but hopefully that helps

[dire blade]

I understand what's happening. Your character has Innate Sorcery enabled. See the attached screenshot to see how they can disable it.

Simply reselect "Choose a level 1 option" to disable.

[drifting glacier]

Ah I see!

And it tells you how to use it when you deselect it

Thank you very much

[dire blade]

Happy to help!

[drifting glacier]

Out of curiosity, how many other features have these kinds of toggles? Does this exist for like, Rage? Mage Armor? Bladesong? Great Weapon Master?

[dire blade]

It exists for Rage and Bladesong in the 2024 ruleset, yes. Feats and spells don't have these toggles.

[drifting glacier]

Very cool, I had no idea

[dire blade]

You could homebrew it to work for feats and spells, but there's not a clean solution without a hidden "toggleable magic item" added to the inventory or something. I did this for Wildshape for one of my recent Druid characters, for instance.

[tacit sorrel]

shouldn't the three new digital supplements (Lorwyn: First Light, Astarion’s Book of Hungers, and Netheril's Fall) be discounted by 15% if you previously bought the legendary bundle? I'm not seeing the discount at checkout

[dire blade]

They should, yes. That should be reported to the devs for correction.

[tacit sorrel]

cool, I also posted in the Forum on one of the supplements 'Issues and Support Thread' so hopefully they'll be able to fix it

[uneven lantern]

I've escalated it to the community manager.

[tacit sorrel]

thank you!

[torn crystal]

Yeah, thanks for calling this out! I'm running it up the chain

[lean granite]

Im having issues with the app, it will not let me roll any dice.
Relogging, closing and opening the app, updating everything,
Nothing has worked.
I cant push on anything that would roll a dice.
Choosing a dice and rolling manually also does not work.
I have dice selected.
(Iphone 14, ddb version 2.83 (215)

[uneven lantern]

Are dice enabled?

1. Open a character sheet.
2. Click the gear at the bottom left of your character portrait.
3. Click My Dice.
4. Click the gear in the top right.
5. Ensure "Enable Dice" is on.

[lean granite]

They are enabled yes

[uneven lantern]

Any chance you could share a screenshot or video of the issue?

[lean granite]

Its hard to show… im pressing on to hit with ly great axe first, then i open up and try to roll a d100

Both times it does nothing

[uneven lantern]

Very strange 🤔

You might want to contact customer support for this one.

I'd include both that video and the Support Information from the app.

2. Click your avatar in the top left.

yes, master tier release and US FLGS is scheduled for next Tuesday

[rustic blaze]

what are your book recommendations to get the maximum race subclasses spells items etc accessible on ddb as everything is behind a pay wall and they dont have a one time purchase

[uneven lantern]

I’d say the 2024 PHB, Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun, and Monsters of the Multiverse.

But the folks in #dnd-discussion might have other suggestions.

[fading bramble]

Tasha and Xanathar too

[wanton glade]

Hey everyone - I think I accidentally claimed a preventative character from someone who had their content shared with me and I’m trying to figure out if I can delete them without deleting it from the person who shared it with me. It shows up in my characters tab and I don’t want to have them appear in my list but I’m worried if I delete them then they’re gone forever and the person who they belong to don’t have them anymore. Does that make sense.

[loud drift]

In the campaign there should be an option to unclaim the character

[uneven lantern]

If you claimed the character, it was transferred fully to your account. Deleting it will indeed remove the character permanently.

If you want to return it, you’ll need to open that campaign and click “Unassign” for that character, then have the other person use the campaign’s invite link to reclaim it.

[dapper terrace]

could I get some help I was Editing my Forum Post and accidently got it marked as spam

[wanton glade]

Actually, it looks like it's not in any campaign im in. So maybe I claimed the characters on my own after I purchased the source?

If that's the case, is there a way I can release it and assign it to another player or have it unassigned in a campaign if I want? I'm not sure how I would be able to do that if I own those pregen characters

[uneven lantern]

If it's just one of the site's pregen characters, there's no risk in deleting it. You can always create the same character again.

Otherwise, if you add it to a campaign and then hit that "Unassign" button, then another player can use the campaign's invite link to claim it.

At which point it would transfer to their account instead of yours.

[wanton glade]

Its the pre-gen from Stranger Things Welcome To Hellfire

[wanton glade]

okay so putting it in a campaign and unclaiming it would release it in a sense but not remove it from my account. got it - thank you!

[uneven lantern]

Yep

But anyone hoping to claim that character could just use the site's pregen instead.

So I don't think there's much to gain by trying to pass it to someone else, tbh.

[wanton glade]

Okay so just to clarify, if I own the STWTHC on D&D Beyond and give those pre-gen characters as options to my players, they can claim it to use for the campaign.

Once they claim it, is it theres under their personal account then?

Sorry, this is the first time I'm using pre-gen characters with D&D Beyond so I'm not entirely sure how this all works

[dire blade]

Yes. They could also just get them directly from the pregen itself as well, though, so going through that trouble for a pregen is sort of wasted effort.

[ripe quiver]

Weird question from a DM, is there any way I can create copies of my players characters without asking them to unassign themselves, or having two windows open and rebuilding them from scratch? 😅

[uneven lantern]

You won't be able to make a copy without the player's assistance, unless you do it by hand.

[mellow mantle]

Hey really sorry to bother everyone with this but im gonna be running my first campaign i bought a starterset book on D&D Beyond and i realized i have like 0 idea what im actually doing i thought i was able to just auto import it like on roll20 (which i was going to use but decided against) i was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out a bit

the campaign is Dragons of stormwreak isle

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean by "auto import"? What exactly are you expecting it to do?

[mellow mantle]

So if i were to buy the book on roll20 it comes with all the tokens and fog of war preset

i was wondering if i could do the same in DDB

or if i had to set everything up manually

so far ive only used FoundryVTT bc i mainly play PF2E so ive never used roll20 or DDB before

this will also be my first time DMing

which is why i opted to buying a premade

my apologies if this is like a total noob question

[upper oxide]

How do I change my initiative from +1 to +2 I have the alert trait and my dm said I needed to change it also he said I have a trait that allows me to have a level one spell prepared from the wizard spells that doesn't take a spell slot how do I do that?

I'm a human cleric if that helps any

[uneven lantern]

This is a newer feature in DDB and isn’t yet supported for all books. I’m afraid that specific book is one of those.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2008-no-prep-no-problem-spin-up-a-one-shot-in-minutes

[dire blade]

Sounds like you should homebrew a feat that you add to your character to do those things. Good place to start: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq

[upper oxide]

Thank you I'll try it

[uneven lantern]

Neither version of the Alert feat grants a +1 bonus to initiative.

If you’re using the official feat, any applicable bonuses should already be applied.

As for the wizard cantrip, are you an Arcana Domain cleric?

[upper oxide]

This is what it shows for me

[uneven lantern]

If so, you should edit your character and look for any features outlined in blue.

What’s your Dexterity score?

[upper oxide]

An 8

[uneven lantern]

That gives you a -1, so Alert’s +2 brings that to a correct total of +1.

[upper oxide]

And I'm a level one cleric and I went with the one that allows for heavy armor

Ok thank you on that I'll let him know

[uneven lantern]

What feature did he say would let you choose a wizard cantrip?

[upper oxide]

As for the spell I assume I don't meet the criteria for that spell yet

Yes he did

[uneven lantern]

That wasn’t a yes or no question. 😅

[mellow mantle]

damn alright ill just have to do it manually

[upper oxide]

Oh sorry he said along the lines o get one prepared spell from the wizard spells with no spell slot requirement

Sorry I'm new to all this so it's alot

[uneven lantern]

Do you maybe have the Magic Initiate (Wizard) feat?

[upper oxide]

No, my divine order is protector and my feat is alert

I have this on my sheet but I can't find where I got it from

[uneven lantern]

You might have to ask your DM for more information, then. Based on what you've said, I wouldn't expect that character to have any wizard spells.

[upper oxide]

It's the one that starts off with level 1 Spell

[upper oxide]

Me and my dm are going to discuss what to do thank you for your guidance it was incredibly helpful

[uneven lantern]

The one what?

Oh, you do have Magic Initiate (Wizard) in that screenshot, huh?

I don't know why you'd have both that and Alert...

But if you open the actual character sheet (not the PDF), go to Features & Traits, and click on the feat, you should be able to choose your spell there.

[upper oxide]

Yeah 😅 idk what happened but I've discussed it with my dm we are chalking it up to a glitch and I'm fine with that my cleric doesn't use much magic in combat so it's not a big deal

[uneven lantern]

If you go to Features & Traits and click that feature, there should also be a Delete button at the bottom.

[fluid girder]

Howdy! I am realizing that DnD Beyond dows not register my Thunder Gauntlets as simple weapons for Dual Wielder, nor allow me to select them for my Enhanced Weapon infusion as an Armorer.

Can someone help with this please?

If so, please ping me.

[uneven lantern]

That's not currently possible.

I'd recommend ignoring the infusions and manually applying the bonus to that weapon instead.

[fluid girder]

Oh dear, okay.

[uneven lantern]

Just click the attack, then open the Customize menu in the sidebar.

[fluid girder]

How can I do that with Thunder Gauntlets please?

Aaaaah, gotcha!

And for the Dual Weilder AC?

[uneven lantern]

As long as you've marked the weapon you're dual wielding, that bonus should automatically apply.

Just click the weapon, open that same Customize menu, and look for a "Dual Wield" option.

[fluid girder]

It doesn't show my Thunder Gauntlets as an option there.

Thanks so much for helping me.

[uneven lantern]

Doesn't show them as an option where?

[fluid girder]

In Dual Wielder or in Inventory.

[uneven lantern]

You should be able to find that attack in the Actions tab, as long as you've selected the right Armor Model.

[fluid girder]

I see the attack.

But no way to select the weapon as Dual Wielder.

[uneven lantern]

Ah, I didn't realize it was the Thunder Gauntlets you were trying to dual wield.

[fluid girder]

Or the Dual Wield option.

[uneven lantern]

(Which is a sticky subject, rules-wise.)

[fluid girder]

Oh my!

Even with Dual Wielder feat?

[uneven lantern]

#dnd-rules can give you the explanation if you want to hear it.

But assuming your DM allows it, then in this case you'd probably just want to manually add the AC bonus.

[fluid girder]

Ah, gotcha!

Now I see how.

[uneven lantern]

By clicking the AC and again opening that Customize menu.

[fluid girder]

Thanks so much for the help.

I am making a wierd Bladesinger Punch Tank.

Hey, quick question, if I get cursed and become a lycanthrope, does that mean I am always weresomething?

There are ways to remove it but this is more a topic for #dnd-rules

[safe hedge]

I was asked by one of my DMs to drop this screenshot of rolls made a few minutes ago (<t:1763647438:f>) here. Because though there is a possibility of this, the probability is quite low.
So we just wanted to check to see if something might be going on

[uneven lantern]

Was that rolled on D&D Beyond, or directly in Avrae?

[safe hedge]

Avrae directly

[real path]

I dont think its that improbable? like the sample size is way too small

[near ember]

It is a 0.02604% chance soo not that rare

[safe hedge]

That’s the chance I came up with. And 2 in 10,000 is a low probability. It was strange, and I was asked to bring it here

I did mean to put that into Avrae. I clicked the wrong channel here

[real path]

rolling the same number on a d20 three times on a row is even less likely for example, and that happens decently often since people are rolling those dice a lot.

[uneven lantern]

You could try asking on the Avrae dev server, then:
http://support.avrae.io/

[fiery pawn]

I'm trying to edit a character on DND beyond mobile app and when I start editing I can see the levels but when I switch to background everything isn't accessible

[halcyon sky]

Alright so question im trying to build a HB spell in Beyond...the spell is as follows.

Cantrip Enchantment 
Casting Time: Reaction used after being attacked. 
Range: Sight 
Components: V 
Duration: After being attacked you insult the offender and swear. 
Leveling your gaze at the attacker, your eyes glow red with wrathful thoughts inspiring a short moment of fear in the attacker. The target must pass a Wisdom save DC=8+proficiency+spell modifier. Upon a failed save the damage received is reduced by 1d4 from the target's momentary weakness. At levels 5,11, and 17 you add an extra d4```

how would I go about getting the 1d4 reduction

in the spell

More or less what modifier type would it be

[dire blade]

I would just have the damage appear as if it were a damage roll so it'd be visible on the sheet. So just copy what Vicious Mockery does.

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific? What do you mean when you say "everything isn't accessbile"? What exactly happens when you try to access it?

[fiery pawn]

Is explains what a background is, then I switch back to a level thing and it explains what a class is and stuff

[uneven lantern]

That sounds like you've got Help Text enabled.

There should be arrows on either side to let you proceed past the text, or you can look for a ❔ icon in the top left to disable it.

[uneven lantern]

[little plume]

Hi does anyone know how I can access shared content our DM has purchased to make new characters using that content

[dire blade]

Your DM has to create a Campaign and then someone with a subscription can enable Shared Content for that Campaign. Then, you'll be able to access the content, and you'll be able to create character(s) inside that campaign which use the content.

[little plume]

He’s already enabled content sharing and we’re part of an ongoing campaign it just got some reason isn’t showing the shared content when I make a new characters using

[dire blade]

It needs to be created inside the campaign where it is being shared with you.

[little plume]

Do you know how I do that?

[dire blade]

Yes, I am getting you a screenshot. There is a "Create Unassigned Character" button, though, and you can then claim the created character. Alternatively, you can create a character normally in My Characters and then add it to the campaign via the Campaign's link.

[little plume]

Oh awesome okay and is everyone able to view that character or just me and the dm?

[uneven lantern]

Everyone will be able to see the character on the campaign page, including their name, class, and species.

[dire blade]

Red circles are options.

[uneven lantern]

Whether they can view the sheet itself depends on the Character Privacy setting for that character.

If it's set to Private, then only you and your DM can view it.

[little plume]

Oh that’s great thank you both

Much appreciated

Trying to understand the limits of the share content feature. If I enable sharing in a campaign and twelve accounts join that campaign, that means I couldn't enable content sharing in another campaign?

[hollow spire]

Update: I made new copy of the monster and found that there is indeed a limit to the length of a monster's name. I have since closed the ticket and I am gonna delete the original that was causing problems. Now I know there is name length limit.

[fading bramble]

You can enable content sharing on up to 5 campaigns

[little plume]

Right, but the wording on the sub page makes it seem like it's limited to only twelve people across those five campaigns. So... what if there are two campaigns with content sharing but twelve accounts in one of them? What happens to the accounts in the other campaign?

"Master Tier subscribers are able to share their content with up to 12 people across 5 campaigns."

https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/7747210355604-Campaign-Content-Sharing-and-You

"The Master Tier subscription allows a subscriber to enable content sharing for up to 5 campaigns that they are participating in! Each of these campaigns can have up to 12 participants (13 counting the DM)!"

Might wanna update the wording on the Subscriptions page description to this more informative one.

[loud drift]

I read it as 5 campaigns and 12 people per campaign which would mean up to 60 max

Key words in the post are "each of these campaigns"

[little plume]

Yes... that's why I posted this example...

Ahh, I see what you mean

I was using DnDBeyond.

[uneven lantern]

Hard to say for sure. There might have been some invalid data, or maybe it was just a temporary hiccup.

[small crane]

It happend twice.

[uneven lantern]

Probably not a hiccup, then.

I just hate having to type it all in againn.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah :/

[small crane]

Well, I'll try from home when I get off work. Thanks for all your help!

[uneven lantern]

You might consider typing it in a text editor first.

And then just copy+paste from there in case it happens again.

Good idea. Then I can just copy it in.,

Quick question for clarification: is a subscription needed to share homebrew in a campaign?

[uneven lantern]

No

Anything in your My Homebrew Collection (which automatically includes any of your own homebrew creations) is shared automatically.

A subscription allows you to also add any of the publicly-shared homebrew on the site to your collection.

[icy oxide]

Hey! is anyone having trouble with VTT? I keep getting a no map selected message and its not giving me any options. Cleared cache/cookies, re-signed in tired different browsers, incognito worked temporarily and then it wouldn't load tokens. Any help is appreciated.

[edgy oriole]

Are you using a VPN, Ad Blocker, or other browser extensions that may interfere with D&DBeyond functionality?

Also some ISPs do some funky network stuff for security reasons that can cause issues too but that's pretty rare from what we've heard/seen here.

[icy oxide]

None of the above, It was working fine about an hour ago, noticed the token info wasn't loading so I closed my browser and went back in and getting this screen:

I can get it to work for about 5 mins after clearing cache, but it reverts back to not loading token info and having to refresh and getting the "no map selected" screen with no options to click anywhere.

apologies, didnt know we couldnt post Screenshots.

Or even click that Feedback button on the side and report your issues there - that goes directly to the Map team.

[icy oxide]

Appreciate it, I'll do that. Been using it since it went live and love it! first issue ever.

Tried a third browser and got it working 😅 Chrome and Firefox not working but edge did

[vast escarp]

Weird

[icy oxide]

Nvm, edge just did the same thing. Submitted a ticket...

[naive lodge]

Can you provide the ticket number?

[icy oxide]

4853225

[naive lodge]

Thanks!

[icy oxide]

Update: I installed a driver update on my computer and it seems to be working fine now. It appears to have been a software issue on my end, if anyone else has the issue this worked for me.

[brisk grove]

Hey, I'm trying to get help on this Homebrew Magic Item. my DM gave me a Cloak which gives me +2 on Stealth and deception rolls. I tried making it on Dnd Beyond but for some reason it seems to add the wrong bonus values Ill post my character sheet & the Magic Item screenshots https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/154334729/okJ5qB

also my deception goes from 6 to 12 and my stealth goes from 2 to 6

[loud drift]

Try removing the part about primary stat, it's not needed and maybe causing the issue

[brisk grove]

that did it thanks

[shadow fog]

my attack bonus from the dueling feat wont appear on the sheet , any ideas?

[verbal creek]

Dueling affects damage, not attack.

[shadow fog]

yep. figuredd , thank you

[halcyon warren]

Hi there does anyone know of a solution with the payment in the market place. I have clear the browesr tried two browers and two different credit cards in order to pay for the players hand book in D&D Beyond as there is content blocked. And the level of frustration atm is incredible. I sent a email yesterday to support, only hearing crickets atm. Can someone give some advice please

[edgy oriole]

The only thing I can think is making absolutely sure your address correctly matches your payment method's address.
But also work with Customer Support as they can double check things

[halcyon warren]

Thank you for responding Undying, but the address shouldn't make a difference as Ive chosen the digital. What frustrates me the most they have certain spells which are locked behind the buy the players hand book and I cant purchase the darn thing. Apparently this is not a first

[edgy oriole]

It does matter if the card has a specific address and it doesn't match what DnDBeyond has on file

It's used as a bit of a security check

We have also noticed folks in Canada, because they didn't list their province, prevented the payment from processing.

There's also the rare instance where the bank/card company prevents the transaction for some reason.

[halcyon warren]

k thank you for the info Undying much appreciated

[spare sorrel]

Any idea if its going to be fixed? I mean I can't upload personal tokens to Maps VTT, so.... cant run a VTT without tokens, LOL

[dire blade]

You can upload personal tokens to Maps. Just go to the creatures tab and drag them onto the map.

This allows you to use both homebrew creatures and official creatures just fine. You should be able to drag any creatures the book mentions into play, as well as your players and their respective tokens.

[uneven lantern]

All the tokens from the book should be available in Maps.

It’s just the maps themselves that aren’t there.

At the time Maps launched, TSO was already released, so they didn’t include the original LMOP.

But anyone who wanted to use the LMOP maps could just manually upload them.

However, Maps access recently changed, so adding it now makes a lot more sense.

But I don’t know what the team is currently working on or what their next priorities are.

[spare sorrel]

Ok well, the maps not being there are not the issue for me. My issue (as stated) is the TOKENS not being there.

[uneven lantern]

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

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

[spare sorrel]

The only 2 adventures that I own (that I am aware of) are LMoP and Obelisk Below. So those 2. Yes it says my licenses are sinked, and yes they are listed.

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example of a monster that you’re unable to add?

[spare sorrel]

The NPCs

[uneven lantern]

Such as?

You should be able to add any of the monsters here.

If an NPC doesn’t have a stat block, it won’t be in that list.

But you could create a homebrew monster, give it whatever name and image you want, and use that.

[spare sorrel]

I tried to homebrew it, it doesnt show up. Maybe I did it wrong. I will check both again later today. Thanks!

[lost heron]

Hey there peeps. So, I use the DnDBeyond site on my ipad which is great. I was wondering if anyone has tried using it on a new gen fold phone. I am hoping it can open as a one page rather than having to scroll through pages as with phones. Anyone tried it and able to confirm either way??

[glass vector]

Creating a new character on dndbeyond. How do I add a pet?

[loud drift]

There's a tab labelled Extras, on that one click on Manage Extras and there should be a drop down with the option to add a pet.

[glass vector]

Perfect! Thanks so much! I wouldn’t have known to look there.

[warped junco]

Is there a way to purchase specific items from the resource books? Was that a feature before?

[uneven lantern]

That’s not currently possible (though it was before).

[knotty crystal]

Bow long does it take to get confirmation that an ordered book has been shipped?

[loud drift]

You should get the email with tracking info pretty shortly after it shipped

[knotty crystal]

OK, it's just been a while since FR books came out and I still haven't gotten a confirmation is all

[loud drift]

Hey guys, I need some help...
I accidentally recruited late at night during my Insomnia times and now I don't have enough people that can Actually attend the session during the correct time.
Is there any way to post again sooner?
My sesh is in 2 days and my posting will be unlocked the day After session 🥹

[edgy oriole]

You can post an update in your thread attached to your post to note that you still need more players and any other updates (rescheduling for a latter date perhaps).

That’s what the threads are for

Bug report: creating a bard does not let you add bandore or cittern proficiency in the level 1 ability.

[uneven lantern]

I actually sent that to the devs this morning!

In the meantime, I would just leave the choice unselected, and then manually add that proficiency to the sheet.

(Click inside Proficiencies & Languages, then use the sidebar to add an existing tool.)

[spare badger]

hey all

I have a homebrew FEAT that increases STR score to 18 and increases speed by 10.

I want to make this FEAT work like a toggle. Under certain conditions, the FEAT is active and the bonuses apply. Anytime else, the FEAT is deactivated and bonuses do not apply.

Is there a way to achieve this ?

Thanks in advance 🙂

[dire blade]

I don't think that's possible with a feat. It is possible with a subclass feature, though. Alternatively, you can make it a magic item and you can equip/unequip it as the toggle.

[dapper gazelle]

I usually use the magic item solution. I find it the easiest for toggles. Just remember to make it non-attunement as it will both count against attunement slots and will require an extra step to attine for the bonuses to show.

[gaunt pine]

Bug: Griffon Saddlebag Rust Arrow is incorrectly programmed as a dart.

[meager mesa]

the Two-Weapon Fighting on character sheets (bonus actions / Actions in combat / Two-Weapon Fighting)
is showing the 2014 rules instead of 2024 even with 2024 species and class selected

unless it is different than the Two-Weapon Fighting

actually confusing me lol

I guess it should be written Light instead of Two-Weapon Fighting

[verbal creek]

Are you using a 2014 character or 2024?

[meager mesa]

2024

[daring stump]

So I published some stuff on DDB but is there a way to take it off my list of Homebrew Creations?

[slim rivet]

if i want to upgrade my subscription tier do i just buy it or do i have to do anything else before hand

[hybrid nova]

No, which is why the general recommendation is to not publish anything unless you specifically need to.

That said, you can remove it from your Collection, so you could always use that instead of Creations to view your stuff.

[rigid kettle]

[rigid kettle]

Sweet 👌 thanks you

[loud drift]

Please note that today's digital release is for master tier subscribers and that an announcement will be made in #dnd-announcements when the book is officially ready

[vocal hinge]

wasn't their another subscription tier over Master Tier? some ultimate tier?

[uneven lantern]

Nope

[vocal hinge]

ok i remember a friend told me he had a subscription with access to every official book that comes out. that was like 2 or 3 years ago.

[uneven lantern]

There's never been a subscription that provides direct access to the books.

A Master Tier subscription does allow a campaign to share any books purchased by the group members with the rest of the group.

[vocal hinge]

yes i have this. But also this guy had every official book available day one early access and then it suddenly stopped. And he said something about ultimate subscription. So this wasnt true at all i guess 😄

[uneven lantern]

The more likely explanation is that someone was sharing their books with him, and no longer is.

Either because one of them left their shared campaign, or because Content Sharing is no longer enabled for that campaign.

[vocal hinge]

no the books are still there. its just since the newest releases. but i buy them anyway. my question is just about an ultimate subscription which never existed

[uneven lantern]

The newest book is being released now. Once that process is complete and the book is fully available, there will be a post in #dnd-announcements.

[vocal hinge]

like the new eberron book. i will buy it next week but if his subscription would be a real thing i had already access to it 😄

[uneven lantern]

But again, someone does need to have purchased the book.

That person would also need a Master Tier subscription to access it (and thus share it) today.

[vocal hinge]

he has master tier like me

[brazen niche]

I am curious.. I saw that there is an adventure new today Fated Flight of the Recluse, but when I click it I get a 404 ooze?

[daring stump]

I am working on making a paladin subclass, on which part do i need to go to to do the subclass spells are prepared but dont count against you part?

Is it under Specific Additional Spells or after I save the draft

[uneven lantern]

When Forge of the Artificer was delayed, they promised a bonus adventure for those who had preordered. I assume that's what this is. I'm trying to get more info, though.

[uneven lantern]

For a 2014 Paladin, you can put it there.

For a 2024 Paladin, I think you need to add it inside a class feature instead.

If you make a homebrew copy of an official subclass for either version, you can peek inside and see how they were set up.

[brazen niche]

ahhhhh... I somewhat recall that now... thank you, that's likely what it is.

[swift bane]

Will there be a way to filter out certain sources in the character builder similar to how the 3rd party content can be filtered out for newer expanded rules? (options like the forgotten realms books, lorwyn, and the new eberron book). I recall there used to be a way to do that in an older version of the character builder, but are there any plans to bring that system back?

[uneven lantern]

I'm currently able to access it. If you still can't (and you pre-ordered the book), you may want to check if your entitlements are in sync.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[uneven lantern]

The books you've named are all under the "Expanded Rules" toggle. I'm afraid there's not a way to filter just a subset of those books.

[swift bane]

I should've brought this up in the feedback channel now that I think about it.

[wide crane]

War Caster isn't an eligible pick for the new Artificer, or the old one it seems when using the Tasha's version.

[loud drift]

Right now they're still rolling out the new book, not everything may be functioning correctly until they are finished

[buoyant lichen]

Is the Ebberon book out? I can’t find it on my app

Oh takes time. Also on master subscription but I’ll wait

[loud drift]

an announcement will be made in #dnd-announcements when the book is fully ready

[daring stump]

Hey I wasnt able to take a look and was just curious if you had yet, i can start looking and see how the 2024 version is set up now

Looks like a Class Feature and then added Spells under that

[unborn elk]

My existing artificer is no longer accessible after upgrading to the new Artillerist. I advise everyone to take care until fixed.

[rapid tiger]

So why is all of the advanced equipment from Grim Hollow coming up as not proficient even though the character should be? Shields seems to be the problem if that helps...

Unable to use buckler, retractable or tower

On a fighter class with strength over 15

[loud drift]

According to the known issues post, you might try adding the proficiency manually. https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/release-issues-support/228644-grim-hollow-players-guide-issues-and-support

[mossy flax]

I have preordered the new "Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Ultimate Bundle", but I still don't have the activation key to unlock the digital book. Has something gone wrong with my order?

[loud drift]

Assuming this is for an international order, there should be a link in your purchase confirmation email, if you can't find the code there then you may not have been charged yet and will need to look on that site for an option to submit the payment and get your code

[buoyant lichen]

Book is pretty cool

Only issue is that the Warforged Titan is still behind the old book

I would hope that they would give us a new stat block and a new illustration since one of the facilities lets you craft them

If not a new stat lock then at least give us the old stat lock and token

[rapid tiger]

Thank you muchly, was able to get it working with the provided instructions.

[upbeat badge]

War caster spell, sniper & elemental adapt aren’t available for the artificer currently

[dry tapir]

doesnt let me choose an artisan tool here for the Armorer Artififcer

[tepid spire]

I'm trying to submit a Homebrew Subclass for Rogue and it gives me the error "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels", which it does, as I copied the Thief subclass and altered the existing features.
I tested this with an unchanged copy of Thief and I got the same error. Does someone know what's going on here?

[dry tapir]

Looks like Sentinel ASI bonus isnt showing either on the new Warforged/Artificer (for example, if I do Dexterity, the dexterity score does not get a bonus)

[upbeat badge]

Ring of spell storing and enspelled weapons aren’t appearing for replicate magic item for the artificer

[verbal creek]

Neither of them are on the list.

[gray lake]

My Iphone broke and i was attempting to gain access to my icloud account which has shut me out of my accounts including my dndbeyond account for almost a month now which is exceptionally disappointing as I have paid for the master tier pass

[edgy oriole]

Unfortunately you'll need your Apple account you used to register on DnDBeyond with to login. We also recommend setting up a secondary login option either through Google or Wizards of the Coast accounts in case things like this happen or their service goes down.

[upbeat badge]

Ring of spell storing is a wondrous rare item so they should be able to make that at level 14

[verbal creek]

It's not on the list.

[tribal igloo]

Ring of Spell Storing is not a wondrous item, so it's not available for that feature

[verbal creek]

You were probably mixing it up with Spell-Refueling ring, which is an uncommon magic item on the list.

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific? What happens when you try to access it, exactly?

[uneven lantern]

If that was the only sign-in method for your DDB account, then you may need to contact customer support about account recovery.

[viscid stream]

i have a player who can't select or change their armor model for the new armorer subclass. when i tested it on a character of my own it works perfectly.

[sage compass]

for the artificer I have found even though i am an Armorer subclass i don't have Heavy armour prof
also when i pick infiltrator I don't get my plus 5ft movement speed added to my sheet

[upbeat badge]

Mark of passage doesn’t seem to increase your speed on your character sheet

[gaunt pine]

bug: can anyone explain to me why i can't add fizban's magic items to my 2024 character sheet? i have every source enabled.

[edgy oriole]

Do you own the book? Or are you in a DnDBeyond campaign with content sharing that has that book and are you building your character inside that DnDBeyond campaign?

[gaunt pine]

i own it

[edgy oriole]

You can't use shared content outside of the DnDBeyond campaign with where that content is being shared.

[gaunt pine]

and im building it without a campaign

[edgy oriole]

What exactly are you trying to add?

[gaunt pine]

dragon-touched focus. but then i learned that i can't add any of the books items

[edgy oriole]

Do you have a link to your character sheet so I can poke at it?

[gaunt pine]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/156266691/2zJklm

yes, thank you

[edgy oriole]

Hmmm. Is Legacy toggled on as well?

[gaunt pine]

yes, everything is toggled on

except all the partnered content but idk why that would matter

[edgy oriole]

Yeah no you're fine there

[gaunt pine]

fizban's is classified as 2014 expanded right?

[edgy oriole]

I believe so

Hmmm. I was able to add it to a 2014 character

Let me test on a 2024 character

Okay works on either character

Hmmm

[gaunt pine]

actually, take a look at this: (gimme a second to add screenshots)

sending a screen recording. my 2014 expanded magic item list is almost completely empty.

[edgy oriole]

Even using the search filter for dragon-touched?

[gaunt pine]

yes

[edgy oriole]

Have you checked your entitlements?

?tag ddb entitlements

Account Entitlements

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

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

[gaunt pine]

or even just like (slumbering)

what is that?

gonna do that. thanks for the help!

[brazen patrol]

For the new Eberron book, do you have to buy the bundle to get instant access (for Master Tier)? Or can I get it with just the digital purchase. I plan on buying the physical book from my FLGS.

[twilit stump]

Several bugs. Feats don't recognize that I get heavy armor proficiency from armorer subclass, I can't find Mithral Armor for my item replication, it doesn't give me any options for other tools if you already have smiths tools unlocked in the armorer subclass tool selection.

[verbal creek]

Mithral Armor's not on the list.

[twilit stump]

It says I can do any armor that I have the level for. My character is level 12. Mithral armor should be considered part of the level 10 items, or even level 6

for armorer i mean

Ohhhhh, they changed it.

[verbal creek]

You can make any armor Arcane Armor, like before.

[twilit stump]

Or forgot to add it. In the playtest the level 6 could make any uncommon armor.

Compared to the actual list.

I guess they took it out.

or forgot to add it.

[verbal creek]

They made the list more in like with 2014. Which was in the second UA the class was in.

[twilit stump]

ahhhh. I didn't see that UA, got a link by chance? or the name of it?

found it nvm

rip! I was looking forward to the mithral.

[verbal creek]

UA Eberron Updates.

Armorers can craft both magic and nonmagical armor at half the time.

[fading bramble]

Just because something is on the playtest doesnt mean its gonna stay like that in official print

[twilit stump]

yeah

Still, doesn't give me the option for heavy armor master even though I'm an armorer and get heavy armor proficiency. And it doesn't give me options for other tools if I already have the smith's tools from my level 1 choice. Gonna write a bug report for that second one. First one I fixed by removing feat prerequisites requiered.

[loud drift]

You can buy just the digital and have early access with a master tier subscription.

[verbal creek]

Armorers are meant to have training in heavy armor. That's a glitch.

[twilit stump]

Yep. Put in a ticket.

[violet pilot]

With artificer armorer, it won’t show me the modifier for the force demolisher attack, it doesn’t add anything to the attack roll or damage.

Is this a bug? Also what ability mod SHOULD it be using?

[twilit stump]

I would say intelligence, based on what it says in the armor model portion

[violet pilot]

Ok. Weird. It doesn’t update that on my sheet

[twilit stump]

"Each model includes a special weapon. When yo uattack with that weapon, you can add your Intelligence modifier, instead of your strength or dexterity modifier, to the attack and damage rolls"

Another bug

[twilit stump]

Definitely a bug

[brazen patrol]

Thank you!

[uneven lantern]

I'm not able to reproduce the second issue here. When I select Infiltrator, my speed does increase.

[sage compass]

sorry you are right, I dont know if this is linked to the no Prof for Heavy armour but in infiltrate I have 30ft speed (hence my thought it did not apply the 5ft) but in any other i have 25ft speed, if i take the plate off and in infiltrator i have 40ft speed

could it be linked to Armorer not removing the Str requirement for Heavy Armor?

[uneven lantern]

Sounds like it, yeah.

[pallid verge]

On the magic item plans drop down list, i still cannot find the repeating shot option as a plan. is it seperated into specific ranged weapons now or am i missing something?

[uneven lantern]

That's a known issue at the moment.

[pallid verge]

Alrighty! I shall wait for its fix 😄

[verbal creek]

Ditto for the non-PHB spells for the Artificer.

[inner wraith]

Unable to access any items I've pre-ordered for the Eberron Bundle today, even though I have a Master Tier Subscription and my entitlements are in sync. Any guidance?

[loud drift]

Does it show up under Current Product Liscense on this page? https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[inner wraith]

It does not apparently, but I have the order confirmation.

[loud drift]

Are you outside of the US?

[inner wraith]

Nope, US.

[edgy oriole]

If it's not listed under your licenses, then that account does not in fact own that.
Did you purchase this under a different account?

[loud drift]

you might also double check your order history or click the link in the order confirmation email to see if there's an issue holding the pre-order

[inner wraith]

Definitely same account.

and you can't access this page? https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/efota

Why can't I post in looking for DM?

Yeah some one in customer support will need to investigate and prod things in the back.

[edgy oriole]

Did you read #find-a-game carefully? It explains the bot commands you need to use to create a post in our LFG channels.

[inner wraith]

Issue resolved - didn't know that for the pre-ordered digital source books, I needed to redeem product keys emailed after order confirmation. Redeeming those keys did the trick.

[uneven lantern]

Did you maybe make it as a gift purchase?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/my-gifts

Yeah, that would be why you got a code. 😅

[inner wraith]

I think accidentally yes.

[loud drift]

ah, different kind of permissions issue. you forgot to give yourself permission

[swift perch]

the bonus damage from true strike should not have the extra +5 damage from the casting modifier

[verbal creek]

It does by default. I don't think that's a bug.

[dire blade]

It is weird, admittedly. You basically roll that and then have to manually roll the weapon's dice separately.

[toxic condor]

My players spells arent saving. The app aint opening

[lapis ridge]

@uneven lanternHey just throwing this your way, since It wasn't an issue I noticed until Eberron book dropped. The Lv19 Epic Boons are now showing up as selectable as low as Lv4, when they definitely weren't doing that a few days ago.

Also the Greater Dragon Marks let you pick them even if you don't have the Lesser Versions.

[uneven lantern]

Did you maybe turn off Feat Prerequisites for that character?

[uneven lantern]

If you click the spell and open the Customize section in the sidebar, you can give it a -5 bonus to cancel that out.

[uneven lantern]

I'm not seeing any issues on my end. Is this still happening?

[lapis ridge]

Apparently, the DM cause they wanted to put something on my character, and forgot to turn it back on after. I didn't notice until you said something. I feel dumb now

[verbal creek]

Happens to everyone

[lilac trout]

The plot thickens...

That purchase of the physical and digital Faerun set I made, where I didn't get an email from them for a code, it never came out of my bank, and when I tried to ask on the forums what was going on, they just deleted my post...

Well now I've been charged for it... Several months after I pre-ordered it.

[near ember]

Were can I find what is in the Updates to the books on dnd beyond

[loud drift]

Assuming this is for an international order, there should be a link in your purchase confirmation email, if you can't find the code there then you may not have been charged for the digital portion and will need to look on that site for an option to submit the payment and get your code

[loud drift]

Sage Advice and Errata if it was a major change, they don't keep a log of typo fixes though

[near ember]

Oke

I received no confirmation email, I emailed WotC I got no response, I posted on their forum, they removed, the post, and my order was removed from my accounts order history, and now I emailed them again today and I got an email back saying that the email doesn't exist...

[timber spear]

Hi, I have a question about
beyond do someone know best way to correct "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels". message when do homebrew work. A lot of class still show me this, i know that i might have to check them one by one, but prefered to know if there was a document to read since i respected the lvl of the classfeat already but it still show me this

[uneven lantern]

What class did you make it for?

[timber spear]

I made one hb subclass per class, but I wanted to make the monk one fine first, which show me this message but lot of other subclass show it too

[uneven lantern]

Does it show or at the top?

[timber spear]

2014 one yep

but on this one I have 2 lvl 3 feats, one lvl 6 feat, one lvl 11 one, and one lvl 17 one

this one

[uneven lantern]

Are all those features Granted?

[timber spear]

yes

[uneven lantern]

Have you tried hitting the main save button for the subclass?

[timber spear]

why did I write 1,2,3,5,6 oops lol

but yes I saved it a few times

oh, it was the error XD

but well now I check sorcer and got same problem

oh actually

saving after putting all the classfeat at correct lvl seems to change it for most classes

[timber spear]

thanks didnt know I didnnt do it after finishing last classfeat

correct 4 subclass this way

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that button is what re-triggers the validation process.

[timber spear]

maybe some more are not ok but already most errors cleared

just paladin and bloodhunter one are left

I believe its more specific problems I will recheck the lvl of the class feats

paladin, 1,3,7,15,20 are the lvl of the classfeats of my hb but it doesnt work

ok, bloodhunter one, there had one more I didnt do at lvl 18

[near ember]

It should be 3,3,7,15,20

[timber spear]

oh, the oath spells were not at lvl 1, my bad

[near ember]

Dous it wourk now?

[timber spear]

yep, thanks guys

just bloodhunter now, but I forgot the lvl 18 feat so

[near ember]

Have a nice day

[timber spear]

you too

Does anyone know if there are plans for Encounters to be updated to 2024 rules?

[uneven lantern]

What is happening to the Encounters tool?
At this time, the Encounters (Beta) tool will remain available and continue to use the encounter rules outlined in the 2014 Dungeon Masters Guide. No changes to this tool are currently planned.

[loud drift]

They wouldn't just remove an order from the history. Is there a chance it was accidentally purchased as guest (while logged out) or after accidentally creating a different account? I once accidentally typed my own email wrong in the early days of auto fill. There should be a way for them to find the order in the system without the email address or order number.

[lilac trout]

nope, it was literally on my account's order history for months, until I posted the forum post, then it disappeared less than 30 minutes later.

then my forum post disappeared too

Luckily I has screenshots of it

Like, if WotC wasn't a multi billion dollar company I could have sworn I ahd been scammed.

[loud drift]

And the charge that showed up isn't a subscription renewal?

[lilac trout]

Nope, 138.99 the exact price of the bundle I ordered in august

[loud drift]

All I can say is to try again with support and maybe someone can figure out what's happening if it gets escalated high enough.

[lilac trout]

I have tried every means of contacting them, they just refuse to reply, the email Paypal gave me came back with a "no such email" reply. So I've requested a refund through Paypal instead. I don't know if someone at WotC is trying to scam me outright, or they are just incompetant.

I have all the screenshots, and the paper trail.

[uneven lantern]

Did you try submitting a request here?
https://dnd-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=8640713998484

[lilac trout]

I did that a month ago

when my key never showed up

[dire blade]

If you keep submitting new tickets, you kick yourself to the back of the support queue. This is a mistake I sometimes see people make which results in them getting upset as if being ignored, so figured I'd mention it.

[lilac trout]

Once again posted, doubt I'll get a response this time, I didn't last time.

[unkempt wraith]

Trying to make an actually challenging Strahd, but I think something went wrong with the tooltips for my spells.
The "2nd level (3 slots):" part registers as a tooltip and shows as "[tooltip not found]" under my level 1 spells instead.

oh wait I think I found the issue

was looking at this for like 20 minutes and ofc I see it the moment I try and get help

I had [spells]shield[/shield] in front of it

[cerulean raven]

I purchased the Forgotten Realms ultimate bundle and I don't see any of the content in my digital library, nor did I receive any kind of redeem code. Not sure if I should just expect it to show up sometime in the future, is that normal?

[nova niche]

I'm not sure if there's a separate DDB homebrew channel, but does anyone know how to set up a modern-style background? When I use a modern background as a template for a homebrew background, the ASIs and feat just go away for some reason.

[loud drift]

Assuming this is for an international order, there should be a link in your purchase confirmation email, if you can't find the code there then you may not have been charged and will need to look on that site for an option to submit the payment and get your code

[brittle bronze]

I’m using dnd beyond on the phone and it’s stuck with this black on black text, is there a way to change it?

[cerulean raven]

US order. Physical copies have been shipped 🤷‍♂️ no digital code was sent that I could find

[loud drift]

US orders wouldn't be issued a code to redeem. Check that your entitlements are in sync and if the product is showing up under Current Product License https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[loud drift]

Either it didn't update correctly or a caching issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling may be tedious but it's usually the best fix.

[brittle bronze]

That fixed it thanks

[lilac trout]

Join the club!

[dire blade]

If you purchased the Ultimate bundle, you might check your email to make sure the code wasn't emailed to you. If it's not attached to your account and you weren't emailed a code, you should open a support ticket and follow-up on it.

[cerulean raven]

Thanks! I’ll throw in a ticket, there’s no entitlement sync button as it shows my entitlements are all up to date. Doesn’t show on browser or app so not suspecting it’s a cache issue either 🙁

Weirdly it shows in my licenses but says “Early Access 28 October 2125”

Long time to wait

[uneven lantern]

Does that same page show an active Master Tier subscription? (Hero Tier gets early access next Tuesday, before the book’s official release the Tuesday after.)

[uneven lantern]

You should see a Feats section in there where you can add your chosen Origin feat.

For mine, I’ve also created another homebrew feat called Background Ability Score Increase, and add that there as well.

[uneven lantern]

This will be fixed in the next app update.

[cerulean raven]

It does

[little plume]

So... is there something wrong with the payment system processing? I'm trying to buy a digital download (Eberron forge thing) and it just keeps telling me there's a problem processing the payment. Tried different browsers. Haven't contacted my bank yet but given that's a multi-hour long process, I'd prefer to know if there's an issue on DND Beyond's end first.

[uneven lantern]

Everything’s working according to this, at least:
https://status.dndbeyond.com/

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

Or with a different payment method?

https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/30742052845972-Approved-Payment-Methods-for-DDB-Marketplace

[little plume]

Like I said, tried in several browsers. I don't have any other payment method. This payment method (and this specific card in fact) has worked several times before even just recently. Today is the first time I've had an issue.

[little plume]

Just rang the bank and was shocked that I got assistance in under an hour but they've said there's nothing wrong on their end or with my account so...

I think I figured out the problem. It's the division between US and outside US. Even though I'm only buying the Digital version of the product and the US Marketplace worked for me just a week ago and the site says I have to use the US Marketplace to buy the Digital only version (there's no option to separate the two via the Rest of the World storefront, it's Ultimate or nothing, bottom of page: "Prefer the digital book only? Head to dndbeyond.com."), that seems to be the issue which is preventing it from going through.

[violet pilot]

Is there a DnDB sale for black friday or cyber monday? Anything with the digital physical bundles?

[frosty sierra]

The sale is on now but very underwhelming. Core books aren't on sale

[little plume]

Well that wasn't it either. The purchase worked using PayPal. So for some reason the merchant is rejecting my bank's card? I don't have any other cards from other banks to check if it's just this bank.

[lilac trout]

That's insane! Needing to wait 100 years for the sourcebook...

[manic iron]

My friend bought the new Eberon book. He doesnt have a subscription to DDB. I do have a master subscription and have content sharing in the campaign enabled. I cannot access the book. We did the same thing with the Heroes of Faerun book and it worked there. We had early access even though he didnt have a subscription. The only difference is the Faerun book only had 2 days left to release and the Eberon one still has 11 days. Ayn idea why i cannot access the book yet? it worked on the Faerun one

nvm i figured it out. turns out he had a hero sub thats why we could see the book. Sorry 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Hero Tier gets access to Eberron on Tuesday.

[serene shale]

So I'm trying to help a player make their character, their in the campaign I started s they have access to my stuff, but for some reason they cannot choose a battle master manuever

[dire blade]

Is this for the 2014 or 2024 Battle Master? You'll want to make sure they have the corresponding Core Rules enabled for the character if so.

[serene shale]

2014 battle master that I own Even with all rule books enabled it just won't work

[dire blade]

And can you confirm that the character is using the class, NOT the class?

[serene shale]

It is indeed the

Wtf it's not just battlemaster the character can't take any class options

Arcane archer, no unique shots, battlemaster no maneuvers, rune knight gets no runes

[dire blade]

You said they're in the campaign, right? So this character exists in the campaign and someone with the ability to enable Content Sharing has done so for this campaign?

[serene shale]

Yeah I'm the dungeon master editing the character so normally it works just fine

[dire blade]

Something you said earlier gave me pause--Can you confirm on the Home tab for the character that these two are enabled?

[serene shale]

Yes

[dire blade]

Hrmmm.

[serene shale]

Also heres the real thing: if they have the martial adept feat they can get the maneuvers

????

[dire blade]

It's behaving like you have the wrong class selected. If entitlements were an issue you wouldn't be able to see the subclasses at all. You purchased the complete books these came from, right? Have you tried deleting the class altogether from the character and readding it?

Another option: Can you craete a character yourself in the campaign that has everything working, unassign it, and then have the player claim it?

[dire blade]

That's not entirely surprising. The maneuvers in Martial Adept are programmed independently of the subclass maneuvers.

[serene shale]

Let me try that

[serene shale]

Yes I purchased the book it's from. I just tried deleting it and readding, didn't work

[dire blade]

That suggests to me that something is wrong with either the options enabled on the character (but you've confirmed these) or account 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.

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.

[dire blade]

Can you check that and make sure it says you're up-to-date?

[dire blade]

Can you make the character public and share it with me? Also, double-check your entitlements as linked above!

[serene shale]

It is in sync

[serene shale]

This technically isn't my character it's for a first time player so great that this is happening

[serene shale]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/156390525/Nb30xN

[dire blade]

Checking...

Nothing weird here. Seems very standard. I just tested this exact scenario and it worked fine for me. It's like something is wrong with either your campaign's content sharing or your account entitlements (ie. the thing thinks you own battle master but not the maneuvers). Have you tried just... creating a brand new character yourself, setting everything up, unassigning it, and having the player assign it to themselves?

[serene shale]

I guess I'll try that...

[dire blade]

Only other idea I have is to make sure the PHB is correctly shared in the campaign like this:

This shouldn't affect the character builder, but...

[serene shale]

where's that option at?

[dire blade]

The campaign page itself.

Where the campaign's join URL is located.

[serene shale]

I... don't see it?

[dire blade]

You said you're the DM? Can you see that content sharing is enabled for the campaign?

[serene shale]

???

[dire blade]

Here's what one of mine looks like.

[serene shale]

...yeah I don't have that

I don't have a subsciption

But I've never needed it because everythings worked just fine

[dire blade]

Oh, well we figured it out. Someone has to enable content sharing for the campaign in order for the paid content to be shared.

[serene shale]

I've never needed to in the past???

Why now???

[dire blade]

Specifically the Master Tier subscription tier is required for this, and afaik has always been required.

Someone else may have enabled it for your previous campaigns. It doesn't have to be the DM that has it / enables it.

Alternatively, free content like from the Basic Rules is always available.

[loud drift]

You might have had a player with an active subscription in the past

[serene shale]

Then why... can I apply subclasses that I own, when they themselves do not own it?

[dire blade]

Yes, you can still do this. You can create the characters yourself and then unassign them and have a player assign them to themselves... But they will have to switch them back to your ownership in order to make adjustments that would require further unlocked content (ie. selecting feats they don't own).

[serene shale]

No I mean a character they own, I can edit, add subclasses I own, without a thing of them claiming it in the first place

[dire blade]

Not sure! That sounds somewhat buggy, being honest. It probably shouldn't let you manually select anything for someone else not properly content shared.

[naive lodge]

It's WAI, so DMs can help players.

[dire blade]

It is a bit odd that it only allows selecting *some unshared content, but roger that.

[serene shale]

You know... I might have an idea

[cerulean frost]

How would one go about Homebrewing Shadow Blades (particularly as they go higher in level?) ... basically a base damage of 2d8 while being light, finesse and thrown (20/60)

[loud drift]

You'd have to make a new version for each level or don't publish it and edit it as needed. Publishing isn't needed to use it on a character or share it in a campaign.

[cerulean frost]

My issue is getting the 2d8 damage die along with finesse, light and thrown. If I do base weapon dagger, I get those features but a 1d4.

[loud drift]

The closest I can find that could potentially be used as a base for that kind of damage would be a revolver or shotgun and then you'd have to use modifiers to remove what isn't needed and add or change what is needed.

But it'll always show up as the base weapon.

[cerulean frost]

Yeah--I used greatclub and added 1d8, replacing damage, but yeah I have the push mastery apparently--also my thrown range is 5/5. Not sure how to change that.

[uneven lantern]

TBH, I’d just do it as a custom action directly on the sheet.

[cerulean frost]

My character intends to bond with the weapon, and there's no bond option for custom attacks [oh and the whole finesse, light, thrown isn't shown either]

Oh and it wasn't registering my Fighting Style Dueling

[rare tusk]

My map on d&d beyond wont let me add tokens or stickers

[loud drift]

One of the modifier options is for weapon mastery which lets you change it to that of a different weapon.

not sure how to fix the range

[rare tusk]

Can ayone help me

[loud drift]

What map and which token and stickers?

[solar mural]

hi so my friend forgot the login to his old dndbeyond account and dosent have the same email anymore is there anyway to get his discord unlinked from it so he can use it with his current account?

[lilac trout]

So a day after I requested a refund from WotC, my order has appeared back into my "order History"...

[raven tundra]

Is is possible to refund an digital + physical bundle order from the EU wotc store? I did activate the digital codes but the physical books got so delayed that I want a refund at this point. Is this possible? I know the EU has the Right of Withdrawal but I don't know how it applies for digital + physical bundles.

[lilac trout]

I've already requested a refund.

[raven tundra]

Had you already claimed the code for the digital part of the bundle?

[loud drift]

You'll have to reach out to support to see what they can do, but for an international order you'd use the contact link in the same website you placed your order from instead of DDB.

[cerulean raven]

Does anybody know how long does support usually take to respond to a ticket?

[edgy oriole]

Depends on what their work queue is like, when your ticket was submitted, and if there's any holidays (US just had Thanksgiving so I suspect things are a bit delayed right now).

[cerulean raven]

Ah yeah that makes sense. Thanks

Hi guys

Can you check one thing for me? Is the book Eberron: Forge of the Artificer accessible on the android app?
For some reason some with ios have the access to the book but those in android it does not even show up to buy.

[loud drift]

With a master tier subscription it's accessible on Android.

[mild heart]

it might be his android app

[loud drift]

Make sure they're updated to app version 2.83. They'll find that info by tapping the profile button on the upper left.

[mild heart]

are books tied to an app version?

[loud drift]

Not necessarily, but if the app isn't updated correctly it may not be pulling all the rest of the info correctly either.

[mild heart]

sorted. It seems his entitlements were out of sync. Wierd that were ok in IOS and Website but not android 😒 forcing sync sorted it out

[loud drift]

great to hear

[dusty echo]

How can I directly add spells to a character? I'm at 3rd level with a paladin and I'm making a homebrew oath but it won't let me add the spells I get at level 3. I'm using DND beyond

[loud drift]

After you add a class feature, on that feature page towards the bottom will be an option to add spells. You can also create a copy of an existing subclass to see how it's set up if visual learning is more your thing.

[dusty echo]

Ohhh okay

I see I see

Thank you

[lament frigate]

I keep getting a 403 forbidden error when trying to make a new monster

has anyone else found a fix for this?

[lament frigate]

^ update I've tried clearing my browsing data, deleting some old homebrew monsters, all with no success. I just spent an hour trying to make a monster only to loose it all when I hit save.

[lofty holly]

If I click "equipment" in the inventory section on the builder of an existing character, does that "reset" their inventory? Ie, you'd have to select their equipment again?

[uneven lantern]

No

[lofty holly]

So what happens if you click it? Sorry if this is a silly question

Allow me to clarify that I'm talking about the choice between "gold" and "equipment" underneath the "starting equipment" bar in the character builder

[loud drift]

It will add extra starting equipment or gold depending on what you choose

[round sinew]

In DDBeyond, I have a large battle and each player has 3 (lower level) NPCs to run. I created the NPCs and added them to the campaign and unclaimed them per various instructions.
The players can claim the NPCs but cannot see their stats, cannot roll for them etc.
(As DM, I cannot see their stats either, just AC, hit points and initiative.)

I saw a suggestion to try add NPC as homebrew monsters, but players cannot see monster's stats.

I saw a suggestion to use SideKicks, but as that pulls from the monster list, they still cannot see stats.

It seems like this can be done, what am I missing?

.

[dire blade]

The players can claim the NPCs but cannot see their stats, cannot roll for them etc.
This is not the behavior I see here. If they are actual Characters and are claimed, they become owned by the player who claimed them, who can then use them as if they'd made them on their own.

Note: Only the person who claimed them can roll for them.

I saw a suggestion to try add NPC as homebrew monsters, but players cannot see monster's stats.
They can be added in the Extras tab of the character sheet so long as they're in your Homebrew Collection and viewed from there.

[tired ether]

Question I have a character on the mobile app that has a green phone like symbol with a checkmark next to the name what does that mean?

[uneven lantern]

It means that character has been synced for offline use.

[round sinew]

Since I cannot open the player stats, I cannot see the extras.

[round sinew]

I tried opening the game from the character sheet, but still cannot see stats in game. The plus sign is there, but greyed out

[uneven lantern]

Could you share some screenshots of the issue?

[round sinew]

Bixbite is a character I created, but I cannot roll for him, and my players cannot roll for their NPCs that they claimed.

[uneven lantern]

I’m pretty sure the design for Maps was for the players to make their own rolls.

So if that character now belongs to a player, it would work like any other player character.

If the character is still in your campaign, you’d be able to roll from their character sheet, though.

[granite sundial]

is there an official thread for bug reports/questions on the new artificer release? Already reported some issue via the feedback form, but I don't think that's the intended use of that.

[dire blade]

There is on the forums, yes, but you can post it in #ddb-feedback if you prefer.

[fathom relic]

Does anyone know how I can add Grasp of Hadar to a level 1 warlocks eldritch invocation? I gave them the eldritch blast cantrip but it doesn't allow me to change the invocation to grasp of hadar

I have legacy expanded content enabled and own xanathars

[loud drift]

That's currently a known issue, you might be able to create a homebrew feat that can be used for grasp of Hadar, but that's the only work around I can think of

[fathom relic]

Yeah I found a homebrew in the catalog and just added that.

[fading bramble]

For some reason i cannot pick Potent Dragonmark on a bard of mine despite having Mark of Hospitality.

Had to turn off feat prereqs to put it on. And it also doesnt prepare the spells

[twin badge]

Also asked in feedback, but no response (that I saw):

When will 2024 character creation have 2024 custom backgrounds? It may be user error, but I can't find a way to make custom backgrounds that follow the 2024 rules where they decide your ability score improvements. Is there a setting or something that needs to be checked, or is it something that hasn't been implemented yet?

The new PHB and DMB are over a year old, so I'm a little surprised it's not available yet.

[uneven lantern]

No one here knows what the devs are currently working on or what their next priorities are.

I create mine as a homebrew background, and have that add a homebrew feat I've created called Background Ability Score Increase.

(Which I'm pretty sure is what the official backgrounds do, but with an option that hides that feat from being selected normally.)

[round sinew]

I would like to see that if it’s available. Do you have it shared?
Thanks

[loud vine]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask. But I’ve ordered the ultimate bundle for Eberon and it’s been charged and shipped but I’ve not got a tracking number :/ I’m in the uk. Anyone else have this ?

[loud drift]

If you still have your order confirmation email it should have a link to your order page. You should be able to find a tracking number in there, if not it may not have actually shipped yet and may only be preparing to.

[sage karma]

does the circle of wildfire druid wildfire spirit companion/summon have an entry in the extras tab? if so, where?

[uneven lantern]

It does not.

Only the monsters here will show up in Extras:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters

But that list doesn’t support stat blocks that depend on a character’s own stat or a spell level.

If you do want to add it, though, you could create a homebrew monster and calculate its stats for your character.

[spark arrow]

will there be an advent calendar this year? 🎄

[idle arch]

I'm hesitant to post this, because I don't want access to be taken away for some reason, but I'm trying to figure out why I have access to the new artificer class on the Game Rules -> Classes page. If I go to the book itself, I don't have access. Is this being provided as part of the basic rules, or as a promotion for the book?

[dire blade]

You shouldn’t have access to that if you don’t own the book or have it shared with you, no. There isn’t any special promotion or anything.

[idle arch]

Does the DDB marketplace still have the option to purchase "compendium content only"? Because that appears to be what is happening right now. I can access spells, feats, magic items, etc in the compendium, but I'm locked out of the actual book itself

I am in several campaigns with content sharing, so it could be coming from one of those. I'm just confused by the fact that its only compendium content

[dire blade]

I don’t believe that exists any more, no. Do you have a Master tier subscription? It’s possible someone has preordered the new FotA book and is sharing it with you, but you can’t view it because of preorder timing restrictions.

[uneven lantern]

My best guess would be that maybe it's shared in a campaign, but that DM has disabled the compendium access.

Doing so would stop you from reading the book, but wouldn't prevent you from accessing any of its character options.

At least on the character sheet. I'll admit I'm not sure how it works in regards to the separate listings.

But if you wanted to do some investigation, you could check to see which campaigns (if any) allow you to add that class.

And then ask the DM if that's been disabled.

[dire blade]

That sounds like it could be the culprit, yeah.

I checked the 3 campaigns I'm in with content sharing, and as far as I can tell, I cannot add any content from FOTA to my character sheets

[uneven lantern]

Then I genuinely have no idea. 😅

[dire blade]

Hard to say! It might be something that sorts itself out as the preordering gets unlocked more with the coming weeks. I suspect it might be to do with the rollout.

[idle arch]

I'm interested in the mystery of it, but I also don't want to pry much further, because if the answer is that its a mistake, I don't want to lose the access 😬

[dire blade]

I doubt they'd remove it from your account specifically. This sounds like some nuance of your particular situation that is unlikely to be systemic so not worth investigating too deeply unless you want to (ie. you could open a support ticket to dig further).

[near ember]

Have you checked your licences?

[idle arch]

Yes that was the first thing I did

[near ember]

It might be marked as blocked in whatever Campaign is sharing it

[near ember]

Is extended rules onn when you are looking for it

[deep tulip]

Hey, how do you enter the DISCORDNDRAGONS2 code on d&d beyond mobile?

[uneven lantern]

When you open your cart (before checkout), there's a box there that says "Enter promo code".

It says not applied, how do I apply it?

[uneven lantern]

What are you trying to buy? Is it part of the Cyber Monday sale?

[deep tulip]

Tasha’s cauldron

Well nvm

Thanks though!

[soft field]

okay so i am brewing up a rogue for 24 in dndbeyond, for a westmarches server so we cant always have them in campaigns, i have 2 features at level 3, two at level 9, one at level 17 and 1 at level 17

but im getting an error that i dont have all the pre-requisites, is there a hidden feature i need to add potentially?

[loud drift]

Sometimes there's a weird bug that requires a lvl 1 feat

[soft field]

no dice

[sage compass]

I dont know if this a dig deal or anything but the Link in the Moonwell Pilgrim background for the Moonshea Isles takes you to Chapter 2 - the Sword coast instead of Chapter 2- Trackless Sea were the info is

[meager mesa]

is this normal that the custom background doesn't make anything ? are we supposed to turn on things manually on the sheet ?

[uneven lantern]

Did you hit the main save button after to re-trigger the validator?

Note that those errors only apply if you’re trying to publish your subclass for the global community.

If it’s just for your own character, you don’t need to publish it to use it.

[soft field]

ive saved over and over

This Subclass cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
Remember, private homebrew is automatically shared with other users in your campaigns and does not need to be shared with the community for players to access.

[uneven lantern]

They can sometimes take a bit to show up, but they will in time.

[meager mesa]

oh ok i'll wait for a bit then

[soft field]

and i have 3rd, 9th, 13th and, 17th for the feature levels and this is again meant to be shared on a server with hundreds.

[uneven lantern]

And they’re all Granted?

[soft field]

yep

[uneven lantern]

And just to confirm: adding a Granted feature at level 1 and then hitting the main save button didn’t work?

[soft field]

did not

[uneven lantern]

I honestly don’t know then.

I’d suggest contacting customer support, giving them a link to that subclass, and asking them to take a closer look.

[soft field]

Okay second time it did

first time it did not.

[unreal steeple]

Hello! Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but DnDBeyond support directed me to the discord so I'm a bit lost as I don't like using discord much (Sorry again!)

Some time ago I bought a third party book, really liked a species in it, and made homebrew for it for my player who wanted to try it. I added a bunch of additional stuff to it for my player to mess with and since I was pretty proud of what I added I decided to publish it for the first time. I know once homebrew is published you can't really edit it or delete it but I was fine with that and didn't mind as I was basically publishing it and ignoring it from then on.

Not long ago a different player of mine pointed out that since it was originally a part of a third party book it might cause trouble/break the guidelines and so I checked dndbeyond for the first time in forever and my homebrew was flagged. All I asked support was if there was a way to unflag it/remove it/hide it even if it meant it wouldn't be useful anymore and I'd have to remake it because I don't know what the flagging means, if my account is in danger of getting a strike on it, or something like that. I only use DnDBeyond to set up character sheets, so I know little to nothing about it DnDBeyond as a whole.

Sorry again is this is the wrong place, I received no real guidance on where to find answers to these questions and I know even less about Forums then I do Discord so this was my last hope of finding answers. Thanks again ❤️

[dire blade]

Some useful answers for you:

• You can homebrew whatever you want and then NOT publish it. It isn’t necessary to publish it for use in your own campaigns.
• Only wholly original ideas to you can be published, otherwise they will be taken down.
• As I understand it, the flag is just indicating that particular homebrew has been removed from publication. I don’t believe it is a black mark against your account or anything (though certainly if you publish things that are super bad, you could get banned). It sounds like that did not happen to you, though, if you can still log in and use the service.
• In general I’d recommend not publishing homebrew material. It doesn’t afford you any benefits for your own games. Just make sure it’s in your Homebrew Collection and your players can use it. You can remove it from your collection (without deleting it) to hide it from your players.

[unreal steeple]

Gotcha that's good to know thank you! So does that mean its fine to press delete? When I contacted support they told me not to delete until they looked at it but I didn't receive any more information on it so I'm not sure.

Also I have a slightly weirder additional question, for the homebrew I added custom variants, it seems like even though the main species it was taken down the 5 variants are still up? But I don't think they could even be reached anymore without the main species

[edgy oriole]

You personally can't delete it. The content is likely under review as it's a copy of third-party content and if it meets the threshold for removal, it will be removed.

But yeah don't publish homebrew to the general community unless it's your own creation and thoroughly tested.

[unreal steeple]

Thanks again!

[round sinew]

This seems to be the case. My players can roll for the sidekicks, now that I have created the NPCs as monsters

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[fathom relic]

Hey guys, I'm trying to add school of necromancy to my friends wizard. I know it isn't in 2024 rules, so I made their character a 2014 wizard, but it still doesn't appear for me. Any ideas?

Do I need to own the 2014 phb as well? Does 2024 not give you access to legacy content?

[hybrid nova]

You need to own the source where the backwards-compatible subclass comes from to add it to '24 Wizard. Necromancer is in the '14 PHB.

Once you own it, it'll appear for both unless it was one of the subclasses in the '24 PHB.

[exotic pewter]

Does anyone over here know how to set the dice roller in the ios dndbeyond app to everyone as default? I have fat fingers. I don't see it in settings.

Also, this is one of the best organized discord servers I've ever seen. Well done.

[idle arch]

I believe that the way it works is that Players will always default to "roll to everyone" and the DM will always default to "roll to self"

[exotic pewter]

OH. Well that would be fine, I'm just needing it to be as simple as possible for a few of my players. 🤣

Thank you!

[pale bloom]

How do I get access to my early access books? I’ve pre-ordered forge of the artificer but still don’t have access to it, is it specific books I’d gain access to?

I have the master tier subscription

[dire blade]

You should just be able to view them on the website or download them in the app if you're logged in, have a Master tier subscription, and have preordered the books.

Can you see this page? https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/efota/the-artificer#CoreArtificerTraits

[uneven lantern]

If you check this page:

• Are your Account Entitlements in sync?
• Does it show an active Master Tier subscription?
• Is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?
  https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[loud drift]

As of today a Hero Tier subscription will do as well

[slim rivet]

i got an email that the book is out for hero tiers but it’s not popping up in my sourcebooks

[dense viper]

Check and make sure your entitlements are in sync at the link posted above by Spam

[slim rivet]

they are in sync

[uneven lantern]

Did you check the other things in that message as well?

Does that page show an active subscription, and is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?

[slim rivet]

yes i can access that book if i go to all books but is not popping up in the sourcebook section on the sidebar or in the app

it just popped up in the app

[fathom relic]

Does anyone know a way I can add an on-hit bleed/lacerate effect in the magic item homebrew editor?

[idle arch]

Are you talking about something that applies on hit or over time?

[strange rain]

@lapis zodiac I've been using dnd beyond and roll20 with the extension. I recently got the master tier subscription and wanted to just use dndbeyond vtt without roll20. I was surprised there is no way to link anything from your character sheet on dndbeyond to the VTT log other than attack and damage rolls? how is a caster supposed to link the spell with the dc into the game log? or an ability they are using?

[lofty holly]

Has anyone else seen this on their character sheets lately? I've noticed this has been happening recently at random, when I scroll all the way down to the bottom of my sheet. My sheet appears to function as normal otherwise, but is this indicative of any deeper issues?

[tiny helm]

So got an email telling me my Forge of the Artificer order was canceled.

I had preordered the bundle, but it's now saying the the physical copy was canceled.

[edgy oriole]

Not an issue per se - just a matter of the background image has a certain aspect ratio so if you have more height in your display then the aspect ratio of the background image, there will be an area where the character sheet background image does not fill in.

[edgy oriole]

Please contact customer support for any issues with your orders

?tag ddb support

[loud sedge]

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

[uneven lantern]

They probably weren’t able to collect the remaining payment, in which case the order is cancelled automatically. I think they typically send a coupon to let you reorder at the discounted price.

[lofty holly]

This has only been an issue just recently. And even on the same browser/device, it doesn't always happen. If I scroll up and click on something in my sheet, wait and then scroll back down, and/or refresh the page, the problem often fixes temporarily.

[dire blade]

My browser has never even let me scroll down like that, so I suspect it's just something about your browser and the website not fully supporting it. I wouldn't expect any knock-on consequences as it's just a graphical glitch.

[halcyon plover]

have a question i had master tier sub and per ordered the forge book and my sub ran out this week it seems was my access to the book meant to have gone away?

it feel a bit weird unlock then relock it but it not to big a deal if it just a wait till general launch

[dire blade]

That is expected, yes, and it should unlock again next Tuesday if you do not enable a subscription in the interim.

[halcyon plover]

ok

[twin badge]

Does anyone know what's going to be added/done during the Monday maintenance?

[edgy oriole]

Nope! Guess we'll all find out!
could just be standard maintenance and perhaps fixing functionality issues but perhaps due to the complexity and impact the devs want a bit more cushion in the deployment window

[true kraken]

What's the best way to do a Bastion Tracker in a Beyond only game ?

[edgy oriole]

At this time, probably through an external tool, perhaps something like Google Sheets.

[eager blaze]

I'm making a level 1 wizard. I bought the digital copy of Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. What do I need to do to get dunamancy spells to show up as options to add to my spellbook?

[dire blade]

You need to select one of the Dunamancy subclasses, or you need to homebrew a background / subclass that adds them to your spell list.

If your DM wants them available from level 1 (and it must be approved by your DM first), then the background is the best choice.

?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]

Dice will show up in My Dice.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-dice

[dire blade]

That will tell you what licenses you have (ie. what unlocks or monthly gifts). Then, depending on what they are, you can view them on character sheets by clicking the "Manage" button and changing appearance. Or dice, as spam listed.

Soo <t:1765206000:f> to ~<t:1765220400:f> (your time)

[bronze relic]

That's GMT, not GMT+1. If you're in the UK then you should work off GMT currently, not GMT+1 for example. In which case 3 to 7 would be correct.

looks like its an error with old 14 fire arm profficency

maybe this should be reported as a bug

[inner nimbus]

I want to just rip up my sheet and write stuff on it. I have homebrew. I want to just add and remove features like a proper sheet, ala roll20. I can't figure out how to do this

Using a homebrew class, but it wouldn't let me create a classless sheet. I now can't remove class levels or features from the sheet.

How do I just manually delete or add something to a sheet? Surely this exists, it's a basic function of a piece of paper.

Yeah it won't let me remove class levels and won't allow me to create a sheet without a class. Is there a "blank sheet please" option anywhere?

[dense viper]

There is this blank pdf of the character sheet located here (https://media.dndbeyond.com/compendium-images/free-rules/ph/character-sheet.pdf)

Is that what you are looking for?

[dire blade]

DNDBeyond's entire existence only makes sense as a more sophisticated character builder with most things listed and supported for you so that you don't have to manually input everything yourself. If that's what you want, I recommend using a tool like pen/paper or Roll20 instead.

The obvious other side of it is using it to digitally view DND material officially and then input into your tool of choice.

[inner nimbus]

I'm looking for an actual, on the website blank version

[inner nimbus]

I agree, roll20 is definitely better here. The DM is just adamant about using dndb

[inner nimbus]

One that could be shared with the DM as if normal, for clarity

[dire blade]

This does not exist. At best you could use the Homebrew system to homebrew most things, but classes can't be homebrewed right now, and characters can't be displayed without classes.

You should probably work with your DM to get them to help set this up for you if they're sharing content with you, etc.

They could create a character sheet for you and give it to you for you to finalize.

[inner nimbus]

Unfortunate.

[dire blade]

It's a different philosophy than something like Roll20 where a sheet can be empty and manually typed into, yeah.

[hybrid nova]

It's also worth noting that custom classes are wholly impossible in Beyond due to the nature of the builder. Maybe someday they'll make it available, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it (it opens a whole can of worms on the interface side, as well as regarding how they do or don't interface with the rest of the homebrew sharing system).

[inner nimbus]

Yeah seems like just a poor system. An edit button on any sheet has no downside. Oh well.

[glad badge]

Having an issue where clicking on anything in the search bar on the mobile app has changed the letters to black against a very dark grey background so it’s making it hard to read, I read before that uninstalling and reinstalling the app fixes that but I have to reinstall every single book I have, which I begrudgingly did and it took hours to reinstall all the books. This was a few days ago and the problem is already happening again as of just a bit ago

Looks like it's a known issue that a (hopefully) soonish app update should fix: #ddb-feedback message

In "Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club" I can see the handwriting font (and a way to toggle it on/off) in the web browser version of DNDBeyond but I can't see a way to toggle the handwritten font on in the iOS/iPadOS app. I feel like it's just something I'm missing out on and is probably right in front of my face. Can anyone help me find it?

The one with the handwritten font is from the web site. The one with the computer font is from the iPadOS app.

why

[near ember]

It is for the additional damage which is 0d6 from level 1 to 4

[near ember]

Add an action

thanks, I just can't seem to see how to make it a Heal ability lol 🙂

no wait im being silly, I am trying to treat it like a VTT were i can automate the heal... never mind lol

[white tide]

I'm updating my player's artificer. However, I can't choose the items in Forge of the Artificer in the Magic Item Plans. I can do it on a new character, but this one isn't able to.

[dapper gazelle]

Note that you are in the dropdown for Level 2 Plans. However, the Dazzling Weapon is a Level 6 plan. Have you tried leveling to 6 and checking the dropdown for L6 plans?

Also, is the book shared with you or do you own it? If a book is shared with you, the specific character has to be in the campaign with the person sharing with you.

Also see...

?tag ddb missing

[loud sedge]

Missing Content?

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

1. Are your Account Entitlements in sync? If not, you’ll see a button to let you manually trigger a sync.
2. Did you purchase the book yourself, or is it shared with you through one of your campaigns?

• If you purchased it, is it listed under Current Product Licenses?
• If it’s shared with you, is this character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?

3. Do you have the right checkboxes enabled in your character settings? The checkboxes at the top under “Sources” and “Partnered Content” control which options are available for your character. If in doubt, check them all.

• Are you using the right class? There are two versions of each core class: the 2024 one under "Core Rules" and the 2014 one under "2014 Core Rules". Options available for one might not be available for the other. For example, some options for Cleric (the 2024 class) might not be available for Cleric (the 2014 class) and vice versa.

[white tide]

Character is level 11. I am the owner of the book and the character is in one of my campaigns with the content shared. I checked licenses already and the sources are correct, and it's the right class.

[dapper gazelle]

@mellow reef

Re: this post that was referred to here... #dnd-rules message

DDB does it a little differently for upcast Counterspell. You want to click on the Counterspell as a 3rd level spell which will give you a screen like the attached picture and use the + symbol to increase the spell slot level. Then, hit the button marked "Spell Slot (#)". The # is how many slots you have left and should decrease once you hit it. If you then check your slots, it will have used the appropriate slot. In my example, I used a 6th level slot.

[dapper gazelle]

Odd. Unless they haven't implemented it yet. Hrm. Out of ideas for now.

Actually, do you own Rise of the Artificer or the older book? The new ones might not be available unless you own the newer book.

[white tide]

I own Forge of the Artificer, the character has the 2024 Artificer, can access those items on the Inventory system, but not on the Magic Item Plans for some reason. In the meantime, I had to create a whole new character and transfer the information and in that version it works. My bet was that it has to do something with updating from a 2014 Artificer to a 2024, but I tried updating my own old artificer and it worked.
It's really odd

[dapper gazelle]

I seem to have them with someone sharing the book with me .. have you checked on the Home Tab if Expanded Rules is ticked? (Note, not 2014 Expanded Rules.)

[white tide]

It is ticked

[dapper gazelle]

Odd. K. I feel like we have checked everything that should matter when someone owns the content. Hopefully one of the mods / WotC / DDB people that tend to know more will be around shortly to help.

Best of luck!

[hollow crown]

pls help

[near ember]

You can manually add a feat in the features and traits tab when you have finished your character
or you can homebrew a background

[near ember]

Please ask your dm what the options are for the feats

[near ember]

Try removing the class and adding it again (and check if the book is set to Shared in content management)

[white tide]

Tried that and I was gonna test it again, but turns out now it works on its own. Weird that it took almost 5 hours to fix itself. Thanks for the help anyways!

hey, i'm planning on building a Daemonologist wizard from Grim Hollow. i know that you have to add eldritch invocations manually via feats and stuff due to incompatibility. but say i wanted the invocation to be Pact of the Blade? is there any decent way to replicate something even similar to Pact Weapons using D&D Beyond homebrew tools?

[hardy kernel]

it did not work.

[dusky umbra]

Hello. i Cannot find helm of awareness in artificer plans

[uneven lantern]

I think this only works in a homebrew subclass. If you make a copy of that subclass, you should be able to add your own Options to that feature and get it to work for you.
