[uneven lantern]

Shows up for me, at least.

[dusky umbra]

yeah i just found. they dont follow the proper alphabetical for me

[fathom nest]

Anyone know how to enable content sharing if Its not showing up in dnd beyond

HELPPPP

[dense viper]

If its not showing up check to make sure you don't have it turned on in 5 campaigns already and that you have an active Maser tier sub

[fathom nest]

I don’t have a maser tier sub

So I guess I just gotta pay for it

[dense viper]

Turning on content sharing is only available for master tier so you will have to have that level of subscription to do so

[fathom nest]

thanks

[fervent jewel]

I used to be able to access Monster Tokens shared with me from a friend who's not in the same campaign where I'm using those Monster Tokens in. Is this a bug or was this changed?

[uneven lantern]

Based on what I was told when it launched, I do think that was meant to be the case: that much like the character sheet, you could only access shared items inside the campaign that’s sharing them.

I do know people were able to add shared tokens in any campaign, though, but the statblocks for those tokens would fail to load in any other campaign.

So that got reported as a bug, but I never knew what/when the fix for that would be.

I’d assume this is that fix, and that it’s now working as intended.

[finite ocean]

is there a way to filter the ddb marketplace to only see not owned items?

[fervent jewel]

Well, it has made it a far worse system in my opinion. But oh well, guess we can’t have nice things.

Hi folks, as I missed my code for a book I got since it went into the spam section, someone else has claimed it while I didn’t notice. Has anyone else had this problem and how long did it take you to receive a response from customer support?

[edgy oriole]

What? Folks can't claim DDB codes they weren't assigned - unless someone is hacking your email or account in which case you have larger issues.
Support answers tickets in the order they're received, during regular business hours. Submitting multiple requests for the same issue can result in a delayed response.
Obviously holidays and greater then expected volume may impact response times.

[delicate cobalt]

@torn crystal I have a suggestion: Please add the word "core" to the #dnd rules info header. When people bring up optional rules (Tasha's, supplements etc.) it confuses things, because not everyone will spend that extra money on optional rules.

[torn crystal]

hi! are you talking about on the website?

[delicate cobalt]

Greetings. No on here at #dnd-rules . AT the very top you give specific rules regarding the chat?

[torn crystal]

ohh gotcha. I'll see what we can do 🙂

Oh shoot. I meant to click on Feedback. Sorry

[fleet dove]

Seems like DDB has started to block Canadian credit cards from working on digital orders again.... Anyone know how to get them to take our money ???

[naive lodge]

Your bank wants the province for one.

[fleet dove]

Uh, ok. It also seems like the web app can't parse the year on the expiry date

Adding the province doesn't help

woooo.. 100 random permutations later got it to work

[polar heath]

I bought the Ultimate (so Physical + Digital) Version of Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set, but it doesn't show up as an available pre-made campaign. I synced my licensing attributions also. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hi hi! We were unaware that the promotion had ended when we added it to the announcement. We've removed it to avoid any confusion.

[dire blade]

Oh, bummer. I had never even heard of this promotion before and was excited.

Does anyone know if there is a way to prevent Avrae from displaying the name of the creature rolling in the DDB VTT? For example, in the VTT encounter I rename "Goblin Boss" to "Big Goblin". When I roll for the goblin the VTT displays "Big Goblin" but Avrae displays "Goblin Boss".

[fading bramble]

[velvet schooner]

Needs some help. Starting a new campaign. I want to use DnD beyond. Anyway when I turn on content sharing none of my players can access or see my players handbook. I’ve got Master Tier, I have content sharing selected. I’ve checked to make sure all my books are shared. Is dnd beyond sharing only for characters creation and they don’t get access to the books for presence. When they click on players handbook it wants $29 and they can’t see mine. Thank in advance. The users have all created there characters inside the campaign or been moved into the campaign.

[naive shoal]

How do I leave a campaign?

[dire blade]

There is a "Leave" button under your character's icon on the campaign's main page that you can click.

[dire blade]

Content sharing lets them read the books and use the character creation options from the book for characters in that campaign where sharing is enabled. Some usual troubleshooting issues that fix this stuff:

• Make sure that your (and your players') entitlements are in sync.
• Make sure that content sharing is actually turned on for the campaign with the appropriate tier.
• Make sure the characters have the Core Rules enabled for the PHB you're sharing.

[languid thorn]

I bought the Forgotten Realms Ultimate Bundle and my Licenses are synced but it has not given me any of the digital content. Has anyone else had this issue? I put in a ticket but I have no clue when it will be reviewed.

[uneven lantern]

Is that bundle listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[languid thorn]

Yes, and another thing is that it says

and the content I bought as well which I did receive says

To me it looks like it'll unlock in a 100 years, and idk know if i'll live that long 🤣

[uneven lantern]

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

[languid thorn]

Takes me to the store page, the books wont even show up in my library

[uneven lantern]

Very weird

If that page says your Account Entitlements are in sync and shows the book under Current Product Licenses, then you should have access.

So if it says those things and you don’t, then you’ll probably want to contact customer support.

Is there a way to make a magic item that adds bonus damage to all cantrips?

[near ember]

would these aply?

If not what exactly do you want it to do

[deep jasper]

I preordered the Forgotten Realms bundle and was partially charged for it and received the digital books, but then the physical books were cancelled. The amount charged and amount owed don’t make sense based on the unit prices. I’m willing to pay the remainder of what I originally ordered but the support pages don’t have anything that looks like I can do that. I can’t figure out who to contact other than sending a generic support email. Is there no way to contact billing directly?

Is anyone else having trouble buying stuff on D&DBeyond right now?

[dire blade]

Some things to check:

• Are you enabling content sharing on the campaign? It'll still be in your list even without a character in it if so.
• Did you create the campaign? If so, you'll always have access to it, but you can select the "Delete" button for it on your "My Campaigns" page to completely remove it.

[lusty void]

Are we able to add steel defender for battle master in the extra tabs on the website?

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to create a homebrew monster for it, and calculate its stats for your character.

But then, yes.

[toxic condor]

How do I add a custom spell spell on dnd beyond

[peak zenith]

Question...

i heard that you can substitute ability scores for things like intimidation. for example you could make a (STR) Intimidation if you are physically roughing up that person?

i could be wrong but i figured i'd consult the orales (the D&D community) on this one.

[dense viper]

Its more of a #dnd-rules question but you can find information about it here in the 2014 DMG (https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2014/dungeon-masters-workshop#SkillVariants)

[peak zenith]

thank you so much 🙏

[lusty void]

Anyone have a steel defender homebrew that they can share?

[uneven lantern]

Users can only publish their own original creations, which would not include the Steel Defender.

Additionally, its stats vary depending on the character’s own stats. Making your own will ensure that it’s correct for your character.

[dense viper]

I have a google spreadsheet that I used for the 2014 steel defender but I haven't made one for the 2024 rules yet

[rugged wasp]

I've never put a subclass in ddb before, could someone help me make this?

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qBuIm8Mlm85lEI-rJpuYMEpLCEe2QxbyDut4M6cgRAI/edit?usp=drivesdk

[uneven lantern]

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

[rugged wasp]

Havent started

Idk the first thing about coding in homebrew, I just know how to write and balance

Also can I do it on mobile

[uneven lantern]

If you’re still figuring out the rules themselves, I’d share it in #homebrew and get that worked out first.

Once you’re happy with what’s written, then I’d start in DDB by just adding features at the right levels, each with a Snippet (the shortened rules text shown on the character sheet itself) and Description (the full rules text).

There’s an article here that walks through the basics:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/845-new-players-guide-how-to-homebrew-on-d-d-beyond

You can also make a homebrew copy of any existing subclass by selecting it as a template when you create yours.

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

Steal its secrets. 🤫

[rugged wasp]

I know full well youve seen me kn that channel for the past 5 years boutta pmo

My name brodie 😭

[uneven lantern]

Ah, my bad. I misread that second half of your message. 😅

So yeah, I’d start by getting the text in first at the right levels.

[rugged wasp]

Okay, so I have a feature in this subclass thats supposed to act as the "roll this for everything else in the class" dice, but there's nowhere to roll it on the sheet

It's showing as an action that rolls fire damage, which is right, but nothing I do is making the dice show up in the action shortcut

And I have to override it in the sheet to make it show as an attack, which doesnt feel correct

[reef finch]

You could create a custom feat

[uneven lantern]

Inside your feature, you’ll need to add an Action. Give it a Die Count (1), Die Size (d6), Damage Type (Fire), Display as Attack (checked), and Activation Type (Special).

After you save it, you’ll want to also use the Level Scaling section at the bottom to change the die size at higher levels.

Be aware that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet as well.

[night fog]

Hi, can everyone help me improve ma character?

[uneven lantern]

[sage compass]

is there away to make a feat change or add a creature type to a player? so make it so they also count as a Fined, Undead or Celestial?

[dire blade]

No, but a custom species can do that.

oki

thx

[meager mesa]

Hi, i no longer see the option to manage shared content in campaign i created earlier since the update, which i still see in an other campaign i made before

[uneven lantern]

How many campaigns have you enabled it for already? If you've hit the max of 5, you'll need to either remove it from one of the existing ones first, or have another Master Tier subscriber enable it for that campaign.

[meager mesa]

oh i see that's why ty

[halcyon warren]

Hi I have a techincal question please. I am rolling a Mark of Warding Dwarf, according to the rule books they have access to Armor of 'Armor of Agathys' if they are a Spellcasting cast (one would think a wizard would fall into this class) I can not find the spell to add to my spell list. Can some one enlighten me on this please?

[halcyon warren]

I have purchased Eberron: Rising from the Last War so I have access to the class

[uneven lantern]

That spell is found in the 2024 PHB. Have you purchased that book, or is this character assigned to a campaign where it's shared?

[halcyon warren]

The 'Armor of Agathys' spell is part of the Mark of the Warding racial. TYpicall that spell is for warlocks but in this case its a spoell learnt by spell casters or pact given Im rolling a Wizard one would expect it to be there

[uneven lantern]

Do you have access to that spell, though?

Have you purchased that book, or is this character assigned to a campaign where it's shared?

If you don't have access to the spell, it won't show up on your sheet, no matter what feats you select.

[uneven lantern]

Art & Handout Reveals in Maps – Coming December 16
On December 16, we plan to launch a new feature in the Maps VTT that lets DMs reveal art and handouts to players. We’ll have a full walkthrough when the feature goes live.

There are three features from our 2025 Maps VTT roadmap that, rather than being rushed out, we’re giving the time and thought they need.

• 3D Dice Rolling in Maps (Early 2026): We are taking extra time to rebuild our dice engine so that dice rolling appears consistent across everyone’s screens.
• Rules Assistant (Early 2026): This rules reference assistant serves as a searchable encyclopedia that helps keep your game moving. Housed within the Maps VTT tool, it is currently in internal testing. It just needs a little bit more testing time and should release in alpha soon.
• Campaign Console (TBD): Based on our own internal feedback, we realized the original concept didn’t solve enough DM pain points. The team has shifted focus to a broader, more flexible campaign tool that should solve more DM needs.

-# attn: @quiet niche@twin badge@hollow tide@near ember @vivid spade

[hollow tide]

I saw. Thanks for the ping and followup, really appreciated!

[halcyon warren]

Yes I have both the PHB and the book Eberron: Rising from the Last War. So there is no reason why I shouldn't be able to access the spell

[uneven lantern]

It shows up fine for me, which does suggest some kind of access issue.

If you check this page, are your Account Entitlements in sync? Are both those books listed under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

Do you have Core Rules enabled for that character?

[halcyon warren]

So its in sync So unsure. CAn I ask where did you go to see that spell please? (the screenshot)

[uneven lantern]

Sorry, I’ve been so focused on the new Eberron book, I completely missed that we were talking about the old one. 🤦‍♂️

For that one, you’ll need the 2014 PHB.

And you’ll need 2014 Core Rules enabled for that character.

[halcyon warren]

so will i need to buy that book as well?

[uneven lantern]

You could alternatively make a homebrew copy of that species, then just updated it to provide the 2024 version of that spell instead.

[halcyon warren]

Thank you for the help

[little plume]

Okay someone help me here i wanna join a game here aka be player where or how do i do it? I am not that smart so if someone can explain like u explain to idiot that be great

[polar wave]

Whenever I try to export a character sheet as a PDF a lot of the text has a huge font size and most of it can't appear in the text boxes.

[edgy oriole]

What PDF viewer are you using?
For best results try using Adobe Acrobat

[polar wave]

I'm using Preview on my mac.

[edgy oriole]

Okay can you try a different PDF viewer?

[polar wave]

I can try downloading that if there is a free version.

[edgy oriole]

There is a free version of Adobe Acrobat for Mac

[polar wave]

Still have the same problem opening it using Adobe Acrobat in some places. the issue is not a widespread but is still present in some parts of the document.

[edgy oriole]

Can you write up your findings as feedback for #ddb-feedback? We can pass it on back to the dev team to look into.

[polar wave]

Do they do customer-facing support? Usually when I hear "feedback" that just means people making feature requests.

[edgy oriole]

I mean we give them the feedback, the devs add it to their list, it may get prioritized and worked on (or not) but at least it's on their list.

Unfortunately I can't promise anything more than that.

We're just the community moderators and don't have much insight into the other teams.

[polar wave]

Ok, well I've uploaded some screenshots for them to look at.

I also sent in a support ticket on the website.

But I need to print these out for a friend and the text needs to be readable.

I'd think something this basic would not come with bugs.

[edgy oriole]

I mean it's technically still functional, just looks weird. So less a bug (as in not functioning) and just not ideal.

But yeah, hopefully they can get that addressed.

I wonder if you could adjust the font size in the field using Preview...

[polar wave]

no, it cuts off text. there is more there that can't be seen.

so when it prints out a lot of what was written can't be read.

[edgy oriole]

Oh I see. So information is getting cut off?

[polar wave]

I tried that in both Preview and Reader and in both cases I'd have to be the creator of the PDF itself to change that. But I don't have such editorial permissions.

Though according to Adobe I might be able to do it in their paid version. But I'm not about to pay to fix a bug.

[polar wave]

Yes, that's the whole problem. I don't care if the fonts are larger if that's the only change but it removes a lot of text from the document.

[edgy oriole]

Okay well we'll pass this on to the devs - thanks!

[polar wave]

Sounds like I'm not gonna get this fixed today...

[edgy oriole]

Yeah not happening today. No idea if/when it will be addressed.
As I stated previously all I can do is send it on back to the dev team to add to their list.

[glossy valley]

This is mostly a shot in the dark, but I have a character I made a long time ago that I am trying to recover. When I tried to log in it didnt recognise my credentials, so I am unaware if I had an account when I made the character although I thought I did. What I do have however is a link to the character profile but when I go to it it just shows me Asterion, which I am fairly certain I did not make Asterion lol. Is there literally any way it can be recovered from any of that information?

[uneven lantern]

You’d definitely have an account if you made a character.

How long ago did you make that character?

I need help implementing a ddb trait to a specific variant

[near ember]

Can you explain it in #homebrew

[severe palm]

Already have

[near ember]

I will dm you when I get home in 2.5 hours (if yiu still need help)

[severe palm]

Alr ty

I might not be able to respond for a while since ill be busy until like 2

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific? What exactly are you trying to do? What have you tried already? Where are you getting stuck?

[severe palm]

I mentioned that at #homebrew

[uneven lantern]

How did you make those variants?

In rules terms, a variant species is effectively a completely distinct set of rules that just happens to share the same name.

The 2014 rules for the variant human, for example, are completely distinct from the rules for the "default" human.

So on DDB, that's how creating a variant species works.

Anything you want that variant to have, you have to add to it. Anything you don't add, they won't get.

The same as if you were building an entirely new species.

[near ember]

click the box before "will have species options"
press "add a variant"
fill in all required boxes
click the box before "is variant"
than press "add a species option trait"
| fill in all required boxes there
press save
than add what you want to add

Then you should be able to just open your variant species and a trait.

If that’s not working, then again, we need more information.

[severe palm]

Can I dm you the exact issue

Idk how exactly to explain it, but I made the species, then made traits, then the variants, which i’m trying to figure out how to give them the species option traits

Btw im mobile if that matters

[dense viper]

Just a question have you made a homebrew copy of the 2024 Elf species to see how the devs made their variants?

Anyone else having issues with rolling dice on your ddb character sheets? Mine is forcing me to manually click the roll dice on the bottom left every time.

And the 4 other people I'm playing with right now are having the same issue

If I turn off rolling the digital dice it works fine in case anyone else is having the same problem

[lofty rain]

Im having a problem with the armor model for armorer artificer, i cant select the model, anyone else encountered this problem?

[lyric sapphire]

So i noticed that while on the character sheet that some of the rules (ie: Grapple) are defaulting to 2024. is there anyway to toggle on 2014 rules to appear on the character sheet when clicking on stuff?

Me and my friends are all relatively new to D&D and we like to click around the character sheet for rules as quick references that help us but we want to strictly stick with 2014 bc that is what we are still learning and want to stick with.

[near ember]

Do you own the book or is your character in a Campaign whit content share?

[lofty rain]

My DM owns the book and our campaign may or may not have content share (he's on the free plan). But he also can't switch it and we haven't had problems with him going in to set it for us then us having access to use it in the past.

Content Sharing

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

Was there an update to ddb that alters rolls?

Any roll I try to make on character sheet currently doesnt go through and any Attack+Damage click to use prompts the d20 symbol in the bottom and then I have to confirm what I want. Twas not how it was

[edgy oriole]

Not that I can see. Just tested it and everything rolls like normal as far as I can see.

[kindred zinc]

[edgy oriole]

Check with the extension developer for any support with it - but as noted, we don't have anything to do with Beyond20 or other 3rd party tools and thus we can't provide support for those tools.

[dense viper]

And Beyond20 probably did break after the maintenence earlier this week

As an FYI, update 2.84 isn't currently showing up in the Google Play store. It shows version 2.83 and last updated Oct 24th for the android app. It might just be waiting for Google's approval or something.

[pine pivot]

Why is Forge of the Artificer an "Unhandled Link" in my D&D Beyond app? What am I missing?

[crude venture]

Not sure if this is the correct channel to ask this question but here goes… How as a DM do I add inventory to my NPC‘s? Specifically having difficulty locating shields in the inventory

[uneven lantern]

If by NPC you mean a character sheet, you should be able to go to the Inventory tab, click Manage Inventory, and then type Shield in the search box.

[crude venture]

I have attempted this on DND beyond specifically for a true NPC trying to add a wooden shield for her to be able to equip and having no luck on my search on the app

[uneven lantern]

Any chance you can you share a screenshot?

[crude venture]

Druid NPC not true lol voice texting is stupid

I will give it my best attempt 👍

Here is a silly question before I attempt a screenshot. Is there a wooden shield specifically or does the app just refer to it as a regular shield? What is the AC bonus on a wooden shield?

[uneven lantern]

There is no item in the rules explicitly called “wooden shield”.

(Though you could add a “shield” and then rename it on your sheet.)

[crude venture]

Thank you very much for the assistance! That very much answers my dilemma 😀 👍 just so I am certain, a wooden shield would still give a +2 to armor class?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[oak forum]

hi a friend of mine has a problem where his dndbeyond doesnt work he sent me this image of how it looks any idea's? he has cleared cache

[uneven lantern]

Does he get the same issue in another browser or on another device?

[oak forum]

his app says updating sourses i just asked him to try another broswer

he just told me his account is under review

[naive lodge]

We would need a fuller screenshot, and I'm not sure about accounts being under review.

[oak forum]

he just got that when he tried to log in on his phone

[naive lodge]

What service is he using, it could be the service requesting review.

[oak forum]

brave

[naive lodge]

I mean to login, Google, Apple etc.

[oak forum]

google'

[naive lodge]

Can he access Google otherwise in that browser?

[oak forum]

only can access his yt and pintrest otherwise nothing

he can search stuff on google

[edgy oriole]

Sounds like a browser issue - have them try with a different (and ideally clean - e.g. no extensions) browser and see if that works.

Some alternative browsers may do things to make them supposedly more secure (by like not running certain javascript or allowing certain cookies) but that can break things.

I'd suggest using Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.

[oak forum]

he thinks he figured it out he is still on windows 10 and google tells him he needs a newer system

[edgy oriole]

Oh like they can't get the latest version of Chrome because their system is outdated. Yeah that could be an issue.

[oak forum]

but he still cant log in on his phone

this is the app and been like this for 10 mins

it was this sunday around this time it started like this

[halcyon plover]

why is the website asking for something called a K -id status

[naive lodge]

For the app, force kill and clear cache.

[halcyon plover]

it was saying i need to be done before jan something?

i was on my pc if that matter it appeared after aa clear if that matters?

[torn crystal]

It's just age verification to comply with the various laws around the world regarding online security. We have FAQs here and here about it.

[halcyon plover]

ok

[jade river]

How do I remove the K-ID? when I was registering my birthdate, for some reason my year got reset to 2025 :/

[torn crystal]

Try clearing your cookies; if that doesn’t work, you’ll need to reach out to K-ID support (I’ll get you that link in the morning if so)

[jade river]

Nope, it didn't work.

[near ember]

How and were am I sepoost to imput my birthday?

[zealous bobcat]

That takes me to the screen the picture is from
I think I am sepoost to pout it in the box in the top right but I can't read what it says there

[zealous bobcat]

I find it. Is in that screen on the right

@near ember

[near ember]

Oke soo it is just plased off my screen (I will try some stuff to get it readable)

[near ember]

I gat it fixed but now dnd beyond is extremely zoomed out

[quartz mountain]

Why does D&D Beyond need to know my birthday and locality?

[uneven lantern]

Why do I have to enter my age?
The laws around the world are designed to protect children and teens, but not every country defines “child” and “teen” the same way. In some jurisdictions, there are even different laws and rules that apply to different age thresholds. We need to know your age so we can give you the right experience.
https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/44174276696468-Wizards-k-ID-Parental-Consent-FAQ

[quartz mountain]

grumble grumble grumble....

[dire blade]

And so what, if you don't want to do this your account gets terminated even if your local laws don't require age verification in such a draconian manner? It's asking me for a "parent or guardian's email address" even though I am well over any of the age restrictions for needing such a thing?

[sly osprey]

Blame austrailia

[spiral cove]

sadly there's not really much that can be done about it

personally i blame the uk for starting all this

[loud drift]

That sounds like an error occurred. Double check things like year and Providence, if those are correct you'll likely need to reach out to k-id for support.

[dire blade]

And so if k-id can’t figure out whatever is wrong, my account gets terminated? I’m trying to understand why this is even required for my account. Both my shipping address and credit card address are in jurisdictions that don’t require this be done for any of my online accounts.

This should be a simple matter for one of these systems to look at existing data and figure out without me having to open a support ticket to save my account through a system I shouldn’t be interacting with.

[loud drift]

International laws are affecting lots of people globally outside of who those laws are intended for. Companies with an international market are doing their best, but frankly there isn't a perfect age verification system.

[dire blade]

Sure, but most companies actually are only requiring this for those with shipping or billing addresses in those regions. They’re not requiring it for literally everyone.

I’m not even debating the ‘need’ for whatever is happening here, the system is non functional. I literally don’t even have a living parent or guardian who has an email address.

[uneven lantern]

I'd recommend contacting customer support.

yea im aware but thanks for the information 🙂

[magic jackal]

Bumping this.

[gleaming sphinx]

Kind of a weird thing and nowhere near game breaking or anything, but was playing around with my grim hollow monster hunter and changed the backdrop on the character sheet. When I went to change it back, there's no option for the monster hunter backdrop in the listed backdrops to reset it.

[uneven lantern]

Do you mean the backdrop?

[gleaming sphinx]

Yeah, sorry

[vivid mica]

The extra origin feat's listbox for humans doesn't show the aberrant mark
Is that on purpose?

[fading bramble]

the dragonmark feats arent origin feats iirc

yeah, theyre their own category

[uneven lantern]

These feats belong to a special category, Dragonmark feats.

This section presents seventeen backgrounds [...]. The fourteen that represent dragonmarked heirs offer Dragonmark feats rather than Origin feats; [...]. Choosing one of these backgrounds is the only way to acquire a Dragonmark feat at level 1; [...].

[fervent isle]

Im trying make a concept where your character's soul leaves there body and can move around while doing tasks. During the duration the body would go limp until the soul returns to the body.

Is there any spell or feat or magical tool that could do such a thing? Or simular things that I could look at to try and make into a such an idea.

[fading bramble]

this channel is for help with DNDBeyond (but the answer to the question is Astral Projection)

[fervent isle]

my mistake then I saw the support and was one of the few places I could post a picture but thanks Ill look into Astral Projection

[dire blade]

You should post images as links in channels like #dnd-discussion for this kind of discussion

[fervent isle]

I tried all the + dose is say Use App Commands

wouldnt let me upload a file

[dire blade]

You upload the file to Imgur (for instance) and then link to it.

[narrow ermine]

Okay, so I have what is probably a very niche issue where I'm a Mark of the Warding Dwarf level 2 Fighter/ level 10 Wizard. As part of the Spells of the Mark feature, I'm supposed to get Armor of Agathys. I have Alarm (from the same source), but not the armor. I tried just adding it separately, but it won't because it says I should have it already. Does anyone know of a fix without rerolling everything to fix it?

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased the 2014 PHB, or is this character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you?

[narrow ermine]

I have it. Like I said, the alarm spell was added just fine. It looks like deleting another spell, and adding it worked, but idk why that would be necessary if it's supposed to come with the feature.

[uneven lantern]

Alarm is included in the free 2014 Basic Rules.

Armor of Agathys is not.

[dry tapir]

noticed today that you can't search on dndbeyond something like "+1 dart" in the search bar (or items/equipment) and find it, but, you can google "dndbeyond +1 dart" and find the item page/link to it

am i doing something wrong in dndbeyond/missing something, or is this a "bug" on your end?

[uneven lantern]

Outside the character sheet, you’d need to search for “Weapon, +1” to find what actually appears in the book.

Inside the character sheet, there’s currently a bug that causes any search with a + to return no results.

[dry tapir]

how about for sling bullets?

[narrow ermine]

This isn't the basic rules.

[uneven lantern]

The species isn’t, no.

But you additionally need access to the spells themselves.

Alarm is included in the Basic Rules, so everyone has access to that.

Armor of Agathys is not, so you’d need the 2014 PHB to access it.

[narrow ermine]

I have both.

[fading bramble]

are you using the 2024 version of the classs or 2024

[uneven lantern]

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

[uneven lantern]

Class version shouldn’t actually matter here.

Since the species itself is adding the spell to the class spell list.

[fading bramble]

oh i was mostly gonna follow it up by asking about their turned on content sliders

[uneven lantern]

Regardless of what class that is.

They do indeed need 2014 Core Rules enabled to be able to select this spell.

[fading bramble]

yee, cuz the species uses the 2014 ver

[dry tapir]

thank you. one thing that doesnt show in either is "sling bullets +1" (but shows on a google search, too)

[uneven lantern]

The official name of that item is Ammunition, +1.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items?filter-search=Ammunition%2C+%2B1

[dry tapir]

thats what i thought, too. but, it isnt listed under "Applicable Ammunition", but does have a specific page otherwise...hence the confusion

[uneven lantern]

Thaaat looks like a bug.

[dry tapir]

and why i am reporting 🙂

[uneven lantern]

It should be accessible from here, but currently says “Tooltip Not Found” instead.

[civic tide]

Hey! Im looking for the Envoy Warforged race and i bought the "Eberron: Forge of the Artificer," But I cant find the Envoy Subspecies?? there. Where can i find Warforged subspecies like that? Was thinking of making a Artificer Cartographer Envoy

[uneven lantern]

There is no such species on D&D Beyond.

In that book or any other.

[civic tide]

So sad

[uneven lantern]

No version of Warforged has ever had subspecies, in fact.

Pretty sure that concept was phased out of the rules before Warforged even appeared.

[civic tide]

Was looking at this

[uneven lantern]

That website is… not good.

[civic tide]

Unfortunate

[uneven lantern]

I wouldn’t trust anything it says.

[civic tide]

What site should i be using?

[narrow ermine]

synced btw. only worked if i added it manually.

[fading bramble]

any of the ones that arent relying on piracy; Roll20, DNDBeyond

[civic tide]

👍

Also while im here. Im making another character for a new campaign. Its gonna be an Artillerist Artificer with a Automatic Rifle, space themed campaign. What race should I be doing? I have Monsters of the Multiverse, Adventures in space and forge of the artificer. Was thinking it would be kinda funny to be a fairy and just fly around very annoyingly with said gun

[uneven lantern]

You mean if you manually add the spell to your spellbook and then prepare it?

That’s exactly how that feature is supposed to work.

If you have the Spellcasting or the Pact Magic class feature, the spells on the Mark of Warding Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class.

[narrow ermine]

...

I did not manually add the alarm spell to my spell book. It was just there (part of the same feature). So, they should not function differently.

[uneven lantern]

That’s due to the Wards and Seals benefit of that trait.

Wards and Seals
You can cast the alarm and mage armor spells with this trait. Starting at 3rd level, you can also cast the arcane lock spell with it.

The Spells of the Mark are simply made available for you to choose whenever picking spells for your class.

[dapper gazelle]

Known bug? 3rd level Battlesmith using Forge of the Artificer.

Formula = 5 + 5*Artificer level = 20

It calculated 15.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, known bug.

and i'm not in a country where any of this is applicable

like, it let me approve my own account without asking for any validation other than country and birthdate.

[dire blade]

Yeah, I'm having a similar problem where it insists I provide my "parent or guardian's email address to complete the process" when I don't have any living parents or guardians and have been using my own credit card / shipping address for years.

bit it isn't really dndbeyond that's requesting it, its k-id. i'm not understanding why i didn't have to supply the additional stuff and it just passed me through. like i've already been approved with two form filled boxes. i'm tempted to just enter an incorrect birthdate and let him pass as well.

[dire blade]

k-id has its own support as well (https://k-id.zendesk.com/hc/en-us), but it can be unclear where the hiccup is in the process. I opted to send in a support request rather than lying to the system, but honestly the whole thing appears to be implemented haphazardly so who knows what will work.

[surreal light]

actually, i think i'll just close his account. he cant use the app for another couple of years anyways. i only made the account so he could unlock free stuff that wont be free later.

we use pencil and paper for everything. no loss. oh well.

[dire blade]

Probably the right call.

[surreal light]

fair, at the moment is looking for an order that hasn't had an update... much longer and it will be I want a part refund so i just go buy the books from my local store instead (thats had them for days)

Hi, does anyone know if the Beyond20 extension works with the 2024 Roll20 character sheets, or does it only work with the 2014 version?

[idle arch]

Beyond 20 is a 3rd party extension, so we can’t provide support for that here. You’ll have to ask about it in a sever or forum specific to that product

[sage compass]

thank you for the advice but I have already got my digital part of the order so I know all payments went throw 🙂

altho I have just spotted one part of my invoice... its to an address in France... the UK got the books before the mainland... is this why its delayed? the darn website ships WC orders throw France before forwarding them to the UK even though UK was getting them a whole month before France? 🤬 that is very frustrating if it is the reason

[loud drift]

the digital part processes the payment at the time of the order, the physical part processes the payment at the time of shipping; and yeah they ship out of France for EMEA

[sage compass]

the full amount went out at one time, I have that on the invoice and on the same date on my bank statement, they got the money 🙂

[loud drift]

then you'll need to contact support, but not DDB. the international store has it's own support team

[sage compass]

I have a ticket open 🙂 I started this message today asking if peeps had an idea on ticket turn around at this time of year

[loud drift]

good luck

[deft wind]

This is a ddb character sheet question. I have 5th level Ranger with the Origin Feat Magic Initiate (Wizard). The feat states (PHB 201) "You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have." I selected Spellfire Flare as the 1st level spell. However, the ddb character sheet only shows the spell for the "once without a spell slot" and does not account for casting the spell "using any spell slots you have" (which would be 4 1st level and 2 2nd level spell slots.

[sage compass]

non of the spells from feats that say that do, you just have to click off the slot manually and then roll the dice or roll the Dice then click off the spell slot at your preference, but don't forget the extra dice if you upcast, maybe someday they will fixe it but not sure when its been like that a long time 🙁

[deft wind]

Thank you for the quick answer. I always thought it was odd that Longstrider or Hunters Mark showed up multiple times... (once for the w/o a spell slot and once for regular casting) and now I understand why... but just because it's not working properly. A minor inconvenience.

[gilded garden]

Quick question, did dnd beyond change the ux of the character sheet??? When trying to roll a skills check, clicking on perception for example merely opens the dice roller in stead of automatically rolling...

[verbal creek]

Yes to both

[uneven lantern]

Are you using Beyond 20? Does it work with that disabled?

[gilded garden]

yea using beyond 20. seems to really be glitching out, my con save now just opened the info tab and no dice roller popped up, my spell didnt want to roll at all either and damage within the spells description didnt want to roll either

[cerulean pawn]

Some items are coming out with zero weight and zero gold. Will not change even though custom. It is a new artificer so maybe that is the issue. It seems that it is just items from Tinker’s Magic.

[steel spire]

I'm probably either missing something obvious or it's intentionally like this, but is there any way in the app to hide the things I haven't yet purchased app-wide?

[dapper gazelle]

I do not believe so.

Closest one can come is in the character builder. It should work by just exiting any campaign the character is in that someone might be sharing with you. This should limit character options to stuff you have full access to.

If you are trying to do it in the app section called "Listings" too, you can limit it to stuff you purchased by going to "Sources" in the options for the search and only ticking things you have purchased. I do it all the time to limit my results to things allowed in AL as I play AL.

[steel spire]

"Show AL Legal only" might be a nice app toggle. 🤷‍♀️

[dapper gazelle]

If only. But not holding my breath.

[glossy raven]

Is the site working correctly for everyone? I haven't been able to roll since last Wednesday. I also can't find any of the content our DM has shared with us.

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.

Checking this out! Thanks!

[untold locust]

This happened twice now, two of my players couldn't get into D&D Maps. I found this topic in the forums, but none of these solutions worked.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/232738-hardware-acceleration-error?srsltid=AfmBOoo6Va-yNF5v7FV5AdLGd0equf7qiwyIGiZ85oeT2Rbqrsr5PGTW

We tried different browsers, clearing cookies, full reboot of their computers, and nothing clicked right away. Eventually, after refreshing a bunch over half an hour, they eventually got in and were able to play for the next few hours without any problems.

Is there a fix for this? Or is the bug being address?

[hollow crown]

I'm having some trouble, i ran a premade campaign (frozen sick) and i went great so i bought shadow of the dragon queen but the content doesnt appear in my premade campaings tab

[edgy oriole]

Can you check to see if your entitlements are in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[uneven lantern]

The three adventures you see there are the only premade campaigns that exist. All they really do is add a prewritten title and description and some links for beginners.

For any other adventure, you can just Create a Campaign instead, and add whatever text you like to it.

[hollow crown]

So then when i want players to see stuff like the player maps or some other attachments i should just send it to them personally rather than them seeing it on the campaign page in dndb right

[restive ravine]

Hey, anyone else having major lag/inability to create new dndbeyond characters? It's an issue on both the app and Google, I can select a class just fine (allbeit with major input delay) but the second I try to switch tabs to the backgrounds or races it lags for a good 20 seconds and then simply shows the page with no options. Just 'backgrounds' and the list where you'd usually pick from is just empty

I figured maybe servers are overloaded or something but even after waiting 15 minutes nothing happens. It's honestly really bad, I can't create a single character and this issue has been going on for about four days now.

[hoary island]

I am a DM. I have a player with a Character Sheet that I can’t view in “Edit” form. We have tried many solutions. Please help.

It shows all text describing Background, Abilities, Species, etc., but not the actual options and drop downs

[uneven lantern]

Whether you put it on the campaign page or send it to them directly is up to you.

What happened to this channel ? If i am correct it was a channel to gather all kind of questions and feedback for a SAC supplementation about "Circle Magic - Mechanics".
I heared rumors that the channel was planned to get archived at 3rd december. Is it true ? Is the channel closed and in a kind of work for (or not for) SAC ? Or does i just lost anyhow the rights/access to it ?

Quick update on the slowdowns you’re experiencing today. We rolled back a version of the character service, but we’re still seeing sluggish responses from monster service in D&D Beyond. The situation is improving but we don’t expect it to resolve on its own. Homebrew is the thing that is impacted the most, although we are seeing slowdowns across the board. However, since the system is working slowly but not failing, we’re going to continue to monitor today and take up a deep investigation in the morning.

[verbal creek]

At least we're making progress.

[west tendon]

What does the little green check mark next to Tibost mean?

[dense viper]

I think its either available for offline use in the app or the default character that your app opens when you click on character sheet.

But I cant get into my own app to check

[inner pine]

im having this same issue, though I buy all my books in person, is there still a way to sync my content?

[spring jewel]

i cant get size selection to work as a modifier for a homebrew race*'s trait*

[near ember]

What do you want the trait to do?

[edgy oriole]

Sync your physical book purchases? No there isn't anything like that.
Buying a D&D book in Roll20 does not give you the DnDBeyond product, nor does buying the book on Foundry give you a physical book.
They are separate products - buying one does not get you the others.
DnDBeyond does sell physical+digital bundles where the digital book is significantly discounted. Or you can use the homebrew tools to recreate options from your physical books (just don't publish it - you can use unpublished homebrew just fine in your DnDBeyond characters and DnDBeyond campaigns).

[random turtle]

I know it’s a physical purchase, but whom do I speak to about the fact I still do NOT have my Faerun books?

I got the digital ones but not the real ones

And people have them now

[indigo birch]

Recently, Abomination Vaults was shared with me, and I noticed two things, on mobile app (pictured).
First, "view cover art" text overlaps other text
2nd, the first age is listed as "The Age of Darkvness" - I dont know pathfinder lore well enough to know if this is a typo of "Darkness"??

On a side note, we are aware that ddb's website has had recent updates. My dndbeyond app shows I am using version 2.83 (21657) - changelog 10/24/2025

• Google playstore says the app is up to date...but is it?

[dapper gazelle]

I cannot speak to what it should be, but I do have the same version of the app that you do.

[indigo birch]

Have you noticed any text or image overlapping in any of your books?

[dapper gazelle]

Not yet but do you have a specific case? I was just reading KGV earlier today and it was fine.

Do you use enlarged fonts / text? I have found text overlap on my phone in apps seems to often trace back to enlarged text choices.

[uneven lantern]

I believe he's referring to the misplaced View Cover Art button in the screenshot above, which I also see on mine. I've reported that (and the Darkness typo) to the devs.

[indigo birch]

In another subchannel. I posted a problem with the mobile Hellfire book. Similar to the overlapping

↑stanger things GUNDAM/Transformers

[ivory nova]

Question, when creating a spell, how to make the more complex range appear properly? Like how to enter a 60 foot range that places a 30 foot cube for example?

[uneven lantern]

You could make a homebrew copy of an official spell that does that, like Web, to see how it was set up.

But you'd need to set Spell Range Type: Ranged and Range Distance: 60, to start.

After you save, you can set Area of Effect Type: Cube and Area of Effect Size: 30.

[swift perch]

choosing the same ability score twice should not be possible right?

Hello there. I got billed for my hero sub on the 11th, it fully cleared my account on the 12th, but it's not showing up on ddb as subbed. I need to get answers because of the consumer rights laws timings to determine how I need to proceed. Can I please get help? I submitted a ticket, but I need to know if I have to invoke my rights to full refund sooner rather than later.

[dense viper]

[unique acorn]

Right. But if I need to invoke my consumer rights, I need to do that within a timeline for a full refund.

So it's not as relaxed as waiting for a month.

[dense viper]

No one here can give you any legal advice.

[unique acorn]

It's not legal advice, I know what I need to do. It's if they will even touch my ticket before I run out of time.

I know the UK consumer rights.

[dire blade]

If you invoke consumer rights to forcibly get issued a refund, your account will be banned on DNDBeyond, a very normal result for chargebacks. If you value your account at all, you should wait for DNDB support to reply.

Meanwhile, I’d recommend verifying that you didn’t accidentally renew the wrong account’s subscription.

[unique acorn]

I've only one account, so kinda hard?

[dire blade]

A lot of folks accidentally have 2+ accounts because DNDB doesn’t have its own credentials and uses other services to login. If you’re sure, then I’m certain support will help.

[unique acorn]

Only one account, so my subscription it only on that

Still thanks for the heads up. I just hope they can comp me the time I've gone without access to the sub I paid for.

[dense viper]

If you go to this website (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses) does it show you have an active sub?

[unique acorn]

It shows a LOT of conflicting things. It says I have an active master sub, but I moved before billing to hero tier (which I was billed for), but it also shows I'm a free tier.

Sorry for the back and forth. Image edit

[dense viper]

on that link i sent you will see this. (see picture) that give you the most info about the sub.

It may also be a cheche issue. If you log into a private browser does it say the same thing?

[sour star]

I have a feat (Shadow Touched) that grants spells that can be used once per day and also be cast with a spell slot. The chosen spell (Ray of Sickness) doesn't show up as a spell that can be cast or upcast with a spell slot. Show Level-Scaled Spells is on, and other spells can be upcast. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a feature that is not supported?

[unique acorn]

No, it doesn't show it there.

It says I have no sub, though I was billed and only have one method of logging in.

[dense viper]

Then you may have to wait. Im in the USA so I cant speak on the consumer protection thing you had talked about

[unique acorn]

All I did was change my card and demote my sub. I was billed for the sub, but have no access to the sub. It's quite frustrating to pay for something and not have access to it.

[idle arch]

This seems to be how these spells are programed on D&D Beyond. When a spell can be cast without using a spell slot, it will appear on your character sheet with a "Use" button instead of a "Cast" button. So if a spell can be cast both ways, then it should appear on your character sheet twice. Once with a "Use" button and once with a "Cast" button. I have a character sheet with both Fey Touched and Magic Initiate. The 1st level spells from both of these feats only appear with a Use button, meaning they don't show up under the higher levels as a spell that can be upcast. So when you do so in play, you simply need to mark of the higher level spell slots manually.

Strangely though, Misty Step from the Fey Touched feat does appear with both buttons, so it does have upcasting options on the character sheet

[sour star]

Thanks. That's the conclusion I came to, also. I have a player running a warlock. She tends to forget she has a 1st level spell from Shadow Touched that she can upcast to 5th. I was hoping I could get it on the character sheet. I guess she'll either have to start remembering or just never use the spell!

[sour star]

I tried adding the spell through a feat, but it does the same thing.

[dapper gazelle]

So, part of the reason that PuzzleHeadedDaze referred you to that display that they sent was that depending on what it says there, it might alter your next steps. For example, if it says you are hero tier, but you don't have access, it is one set of investigations, but if it doesn't even say Hero Tier, that is probably a different set of investigations that may even involve billing.

[sour star]

Does anyone know of another way to add a known/prepared spell beyond what is allowed by the class?

[dapper gazelle]

IIRC, you can homebrew a feat and just add that feat to the character. Adding a homebrew magic item can do it too. But there are probably better ways as there might be upcasting issues. 🙂

[idle arch]

Its been a while since I've used the D&D Beyond homebrew tools, but can you make the feat cast the spell at a specific level, so it shows up in the correct place on their character sheet?

[sour star]

I tried that, but it runs into the same problem of not showing it being able to be upcast.

[dapper gazelle]

Hrm. Yeah. I think magic items can be worked through to effectively upcast, but you would have to kill the slots manually.

OK, I'll duck out then. Best of luck!

[sour star]

It looks like that would work to a degree. The spell says At Will, and I don't see an option for it to cost a spell slot. Unfortunately, you can only choose one level. That would work fine for the Warlock, but the Cleric also has the feat. Creating a special feat for each level of a spell would be easy enough, I suppose, though I'm not inclined to go to that much trouble when they should learn to know what their character can do.

Thanks for the help.

Interesting. I just noticed that the Cure Wounds granted by Gift of the Metallic Dragon scales just fine. There's a free "Use" version and a second "Cast" version that is upscaled for higher spell slots.

[dapper gazelle]

FWIR, upcasting is only possible if something does cost a spell slot or a rule specifies that the spell is cast at a higher level. At Will spells generally do not, so logic would dictate they cannot be upcast without some sort of homewbrew rule.

[sour star]

I think they must have changed the way they code those feats. The ones from Tasha's do not scale even though they specify they can be cast using spell slots. The ones from Fizban's do.

[dapper gazelle]

But y'know, game of exceptions. I just don't know if Beyond made the code to do homebrew upcasting of those types to us. As an example of where they have done this, they can effectively "create new classes", but we cannot homebrew create new classes because whatever they did is not public facing.

Have you tried copying a working feat? Sometimes making a homebrew copy of a working feat allows you to code the same.

[sour star]

I suppose I could try copying a dragon feat, just changing the spells. Since those upcast, it might work.

Nope. It looks like it basically deletes the Cure Wounds granted by Gem Dragon. It keeps the check boxes for Telekinetic Reprisal, but it doesn't even allow me to add another spell. It looks like they'll just have to rely on their memory. Thanks again for the help.

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, the only thing that we can homebrew outside of a subclass are limited use spells, not spell slot-using spells. The few feats that do so use backend code that we can't access. Hopefully whenever they finish revamping their backend that'll become public-facing.

If there are official feats that look like they should work that way and don't, try reporting them in the feedback channel and they might get fixed.

[elfin minnow]

For the drow monster stat blocks in Heroes of Faerûn, are they meant to all be the exact same face in the small avatar pics? There's multiple drow in the source image, but they're all using one for some reason.

[dire blade]

That's definitely an error. It's also very strange that they just pasted the entire art as the art for every one of those monsters when they should've cropped it to focus on the specific one in the stat block.

Hopefully one of the mods can report that up to the devs.

[icy ledge]

I didn't see it in the Player’s Handbook support forum, but is there any idea as to when or if Battering Roots will be supported correctly?

[spring jewel]

i figured that out but i want a trait to give you your choice of a sense (like darkvision, tremorsense, ECT) and then at 10th level you get another one

how do i do that

there is nothin for choosing your own

bonuses have "choose your own" options

wth D&DB

[blazing tulip]

Is there somewhere in dndbeyond to add like homebrew abilities, feat, and what not? Like I was talking in #dnd-rules if there’s homebrew or custom “rewards”. That give a “Feytouched” or equivalent buff into a character sheet

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to use Options.

Set up each choice as its own Option, and inside, add any Modifiers that apply to that choice.

Then in the feature itself, make sure Has Options is checked.

And in “Character Levels Where Options Known”, put 1,10

[spring jewel]

its ok i got i sorted AND i finished it just now :D

thanks

[sour bobcat]

So, I am currently in a Campaign using 2024 ruleset and one of our characters took the Ritual Caster Feat. It states that you get options equal to your Prof modifier, but it is showing him six options when his modifier is +3 and the options he chose are not being displayed on the final sheet.

[near ember]

tell your player to not add more than there proficiencie bonus (it is difficult to give something variable options whit the current homebrew system)
The spells not showing up looks like a bug

[sleek rune]

Is their a way for the player with the infused item to track which items are infused/which infusions they have on their sheet?

[zealous bobcat]

On the app/web or in the pdf printed?

In the app/web on the inventory section scroll down to the bottom of the section.

[cyan cedar]

Artificer and Heroes of Faerun subclasses aren't showing up in character builder - should I submit a request ? I've tried doing the Sync my Account Entitlements thing and it isn't working

[near ember]

Is extended rules onn?

[cyan cedar]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

Did you purchase those books yourself? Are they listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

Or is this character assigned to a campaign where those books are shared with you?

[cyan cedar]

Books are purchased and are in sources as owned/In Library

[uneven lantern]

But are they listed on the page I linked under Current Product Licenses?

[cyan cedar]

Seemingly no and yet other content that also aren't there do show up in the character options section

[uneven lantern]

Those things are likely being shared with you in that campaign, then.

Artificer and Heroes are likely being shared in another.

Shared character options can only be used inside the campaign that’s sharing them.

Did you buy those books on DDB or on dndstore.wizards.com?

[cyan cedar]

The other materials I mentioned show up regardless of campaign the character is in - I don't believe content sharing does this or am I incorrect?

[uneven lantern]

It could be shared in those campaigns as well.

But what “other materials” specifically?

[cyan cedar]

Even blank character sheets outside of campaigns as they all show up in those as well - Spells and items from multiple partnered content and sourcebooks as well as class options from various specific partnered and sourcebooks but not others despite some of them not being in liscence

As mentioned above when not included in a campaign they still show the above content

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example?

And back to the initial problem, did you buy those two books on DDB or on dndstore.wizards.com?

[cyan cedar]

Like for example having the Obojima spell lists and items but not subclasses and having Illrigger but not Monster Hunter from Grim Hollow despite both being purchased
Purchased from DDB

[uneven lantern]

The Obojima subclasses are available only on the 2014 classes. You won’t see them in the character builder if you selected a 2024 class.

And Illrigger isn’t from Grim Hollow. It’s from a book called The Illrigger Revised.

[cyan cedar]

I'm aware but both give full Partnered content classes and both aren't in licenses - but despite this one shows up as an option and one does not

[uneven lantern]

And you’re saying Obojima and Illrigger also aren’t listed under Current Product Licenses?

But you can add them to characters who aren’t assigned to a campaign?

[cyan cedar]

Correct

[uneven lantern]

Did you buy these books on DDB or on dndstore.wizards.com?

[cyan cedar]

DDB

[uneven lantern]

And they’re listed here in your Order History?
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/account/orders?limit=10&refine=dateRange%3D3|years

[cyan cedar]

They are not - hence my total confusion about everything

double checked the new and old versions of order history too

nevermind apologies for bothering - I'll figure it out somehow

[magic jolt]

Hello! I asked a few days ago and didn’t hear anything.

Is there a way in homebrew magic items to switch the ability score used for hit/damage?

I’d like to make a pistol that uses INT instead of DEX but am having a hard time.

[uneven lantern]

Not sure. If you can find an official item that does it, you could make a homebrew copy of that to see how it was set up. If you can’t find such an item, it’s likely not possible.

[exotic peak]

Hey, has anyone notice an issue with the warlock invocation named devils sight not working properly on D&Dbeyond?

[dense viper]

I know there are subclass features like a Bladesinger wizard that does something like that for sword attacks.

You could also just make a custom action on the character sheet that does what you want with INT

[magic jolt]

This is what made me think it was possible, and just thought I didn’t know how the home brew mechanics worked.

The customer action is what I’ve been doing, I just was hoping to build it into the item.

Thanks for the input!

If you have a credit card attached to your account with a ZIP code in an area that doesn't have stringent requirements, I think it just fast tracks you through the system and doesn't actually require anything additional.

[torn crystal]

it isn't about censoring content. Countries all over are putting these age verification laws into practice. If we want to continue serving players in those areas, we also have to comply.

[naive lodge]

Multiple individual states and even some cities are floating them too.

[wide crane]

Is this used for general help? Such as trying to find out if there's a way to do a feature in a homebrew subclass that is similar to Innate Sorcery or Rage that grants temporary benefits while they are chosen to be active?

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

The general idea there is that they add two versions of the feature.

The first is shown only in the builder and has just the text description of the feature.

The second is shown only on the sheet and has an Option to activate the feature.

Inside that Option, you'd add anything that applies while the feature is active.

How do I give my character a Homebrew spell on D&D Beyond (website or app just specify which)? I’m trying to give my character a certain Homebrew spell and my dm allows it, but idk how.

[stray sage]

If you created it, it should show up in the list of spells you can choose.

[clever gyro]

It’s not for some reason. I keep searching and it won’t work?

[stray sage]

How did you create it? Based on an already existing spell or from scratch? What classes is this spell available to and what class is your character?

[clever gyro]

Scratch, Cleric,
And my character is a level 4 cleric

The spell is a 1st level

[stray sage]

And is Gomebrew activated for that character sheet?

[clever gyro]

Yes

[edgy oriole]

Does the character have the homebrew content toggle on so you can see/use homebrew on that character?

Ah okay

Hmmm…

if anyone is free could they help me make a character. I am basing them off Hank from Madness Combat but I don't understand what the settings mean so a little bit of guidance would be useful

thanks, I thought it would be here since i am using ddb

Okay so the homebrew spell exists, is the character in the campaign where that spell is being shared?

[stray sage]

I just created a spell based on the aid spell, which should be available for a cleric, tried to give it to a cleric character with the homevrew turned on…I didn’t see my spell as well

[clever gyro]

Uhm idk how to answer that.
I created the Homebrew spell and my character is in a campaign with Homebrew on. I was able to see Homebrew Feats I made

[edgy oriole]

Sometimes homebrew creations can take up to 10 minutes to show because of server caching

[clever gyro]

Ohhh

[edgy oriole]

So maybe give it 10-15 minutes and try again?

[clever gyro]

Wait but how do I add other Homebrew spells

That others made

Because of the severe amount of spells made I would assume you’d have to go and select specific ones

Right?

[edgy oriole]

If it’s in the DnDBeyond campaign you’re in you’ll be able to access it the way you normally add spells to your sheet

[stray sage]

Ok, good info from @edgy oriole Another question: 2014 character or 2024?

[clever gyro]

2014

[edgy oriole]

Oh make sure to toggle on legacy as well then

[clever gyro]

It’s on

The only ones off are 2024 core and expanded

We have 2014 Core/Expanded, Legacy, and Homebrew

[stray sage]

I solved the problem for me. You got to choose the right classes, which are supposed to have access. In my spell was only the 2014 cleric, but my cleric is 2024. I added the 2024 and now it shows up.

[clever gyro]

OH THANKS DUDE

[stray sage]

Pleasure 🙂

[clever gyro]

Seeing if it fixes

IT WORKED THANKKS YALL

[stray sage]

Yay 🙌 That’s great! Awesome

[clever gyro]

However now I can’t cast it

And it’s higher level settings don’t show

[edgy oriole]

That would be op to whoever created the spell to fix

[stray sage]

There is an option called „At higher levels scaling?“ which probably needs to be checked

[edgy oriole]

Another reason why it’s a good idea to use an existing spell as a guide to learn from as you customize it.

[clever gyro]

I added it and it won’t work

[clever gyro]

The scaling would be more beams but more self damage

[stray sage]

Can you send screenshots? There are so many options 🙂

[stray sage]

Oh yes! How many Homebrews did I not manage to finish 😃

[clever gyro]

Oh it worked now

I think at least?

The damage is meant to increase

[stray sage]

Can you send screenshots of the creation screen?

[clever gyro]

Okay so this happened. The “at higher levels” left, thing in the top

Oh yeah hold on

It’s meant to be a level scaling for each spell slot

[stray sage]

And I think it does that, only the dice are not increasing. In the „at higher levelslevels scaling“ section you can add that. But is it more damage per target as well?

[clever gyro]

Not damage per target, it’s self damage.

Oh nevermind it fixed

[stray sage]

Ok, so level 1, you take 1d8 damage (min 3). Level 2 you take 1d8 + 1d6 damage (min 3). Level 3, you take 1d8 + 2d6 damage. Is that correct?

[clever gyro]

He’s

Yes*

[stray sage]

Ok great. What did the trick?

[clever gyro]

Looking at the next slot level

It doesn’t list at level 1

[stray sage]

😃 Ah. Yea perfect

Than enjoy your spell

[clever gyro]

It worked! Thanks!

[golden cedar]

This is where to ask questions right?

[clever gyro]

Dnd Beyond specifically, yes. Like any questions on how to do anything in dnd beyond

[golden cedar]

Oki So i have a member of my DnD session who made a character on DnD Beyond but for some reason her character she is using for the session isnt appearing.

[edgy oriole]

Appearing where?

In the DnDBeyond campaign?

Did the user get the DnDBeyond campaign link, join it and connect their character to that DnDBeyond campaign?

[feral echo]

No what my friend is saying is they tried logging into their dnd beyond account they saw their one character but not the other

[edgy oriole]

Interesting. They didn't accidently create a 2nd DnDBeyond account?

Trying to think how they can have two characters but only one show

[feral echo]

I don't know it was strange because we have their character sheet right here by they can't log into it or see it at all

[edgy oriole]

Was it claimed by a different person in the DnDBeyond campaign?

Although they should still see that the character is in the campaign even if they themselves can't use it then.

Hmmm.

[feral echo]

honest we think its like tech support because there character is like gone like almost like they accidently deleted it or something but we still have the sheet or link so we don't know

[edgy oriole]

Yeah I'm not sure what else to try beyond clearing your cache, restarting your browser, and logging back in to DnDBeyond

But yeah maybe time to contact customer support

Yes you can create unassigned characters and they can claim them when joining the campaign

[lament mountain]

Ooooooh shyyyythe... Love it

[median beacon]

hey brains trust.

I'm trying to make a homebrew item and editing the modifier. i have selected the modifier type to damage, my issue is the subtype does not have the weapon i want to exclusively use, but short and long bow is available. do i just have to use the type of damage instead of the weapon it self?

[uneven lantern]

I think there’s a modifier to replace the weapon damage type.

You could make a homebrew copy of Sun Blade to see how that one did it.

[silk bay]

Need help.

Story:

I have Discover bank, tried to purchase digital + physical bundle for reduced price and my bank blocked the physical purchase.

I tried to submit a ticket to see if I could basically get refunded and rebuy it, and TBF, the first guy - Jerico - tried to assist me. It wasn't exactly correct because he also refunded some stuff that I already had the physical items for so it actually took away my ability to get some of the discount but oh well.

I call my bank, they say it should work this time, I try to rebuy, does not work again. I call my bank and I think they figured it out. HOWEVER, the customer service agent with my ticket changed from Jerico to Raj. I tried to explain the situation to Raj and I think he fundamentally misunderstood what I was saying.

Raj told me I already had a refund and so if I wasn't seeing the refund that it was on my banks end. I told him, "no, I got the first refund, but I tried to repurchase the bundles once again and failed and so I was hoping to try one more time...See, I still have access to the digital content because I wasn't given a second refund but I want to try to buy the bundle again".

Raj said, "Oh, we gave you the refund already, so let me take that content away because that is an error" and he took away the content that I had repurchased without giving me a refund.

Now. I no longer care about a discounted price, but I'm just trying to get back to net zero instead of being out 162 bucks. This ticket has been open for over a month and I tried opening a second ticket to explain that I have no faith in Raj's ability to solve this issue (I've even posted screenshots of my bank statement .csv files that show the WotC transactions) and Raj just gets assigned to the new ticket every time and closes it out and I just need to either have a new agent or to talk to someone on the phone.

I really want to use DnD Beyond's content for a campaign that I want to run and with/without the discount, I'm gonna buy those damned books but I need to not just be out 162 dollars for no reason.

Who can save me?

[naive lodge]

Lol, but I did. I submitted a ticket. It's been a month man. I submit a different ticket hoping to get a different agent and the same agent just closes it down

[median beacon]

thanks for the reply. I'm trying to alter the bracers of archery and make them bracers of shooting (working name). they use the damage modifier for the short and long bow, but they are the only two weapons in that section. im guessing ill have to use the damage type instead

[dire blade]

Submitting multiple tickets sends you to the back of the line and also forces duplicate tickets to be closed without answer. This is typical in any customer service. With your one ticket open and having responded, just go ahead and wait for their response.

[silk bay]

Yea but my second ticket is not to resolve the first ticket it's to get a new agent because it's been a month. This is also not typical in any customer service. Typical customer service allows you to call someone when your issue is not being fixed.

[dire blade]

I’m not going to argue over what is or isn’t typical for you, but what I said above is the only way you’ll get a response. You’re not going to get a different agent, you’re going to get your original ticket reopened and bumped and the duplicate closed.

[silk bay]

Do you work for them?

[edgy oriole]

They do not but that is the process. Also note that as we head into the holidays things may be a bit slower as staff take time off, etc.

[stuck meteor]

[ripe glacier]

Has anyone seen any discussion on whether they will add custom uploads to the new reveals feature in the VTT?

[loud drift]

the instructions are listed in #find-a-game

[stuck meteor]

thank you

[loud drift]

It's definitely been requested but the devs haven't let us know about future updates beyond the roadmap just yet, they are aware of user desire though

[dense viper]

#ddb-feedback message

[stray sage]

Not entirely. They mentioned it in the YouTube video about Maps Reveals as well as in the forums. It seems to be a plan to add that, but it will take time and work.

[proper dagger]

Is the website being slow/not loading for anyone else? I'm supposed to run a game soon and the pages are just spinning. Everything else is working for me, computer, browser, etc.

[thorny lantern]

My friend is the DM and cannot see my character. We are both in the same campaign.my character is set to share within campaign. The campaign is set to share with other members.

[dire blade]

Loading fine for me, but there are so many reasons why it could be slow for you. Try a different browser/clear cache (could be corrupted) would be my first suggestion.

[dire blade]

Try setting it to public and see if that changes anything. Without physically seeing your campaign it's hard to verify if it's all set up correctly.

[errant totem]

Sometimes I find it annoying when I am homebrewing in ddb and it just decides that "no you cant have this feat because your miss prerequisite" when I'm not 🥀

I don't really need support cause I know its just it being slow it typically resolves itself I just wnated to express that to other ddb users

[urban matrix]

can someone help me creating a character sheet for a homebrew demon slayer class? I know some of the basics but I still struggle to actually know what to put on the stats and other technical stuff

[loud drift]

For help with a standalone class I'd ask in #homebrew

[blissful geyser]

How can I start and if I've never played before

[dire blade]

You should ask about this in #dnd-newcomers

[distant folio]

So yesterday when I used the alchemy jug just to test it out. It gave me options of what I can create but now nothing happens.
Am I missing something?

[dapper gazelle]

Maybe you just need to scroll down? I see the table on mine...

[indigo birch]

When I introduce someone to dnd, I ask them to imagine themselves as the most epic hero they want to be.

1. Do you use magic or might?
   If magic, where does it come from? Books, blood, nature, gods, music?
   If might, are you meat shield, sneaky, fast, sharpshooter?
2. Does this hero have an animal companion - is it required.
3. Brains or Brawn - kind of the same as #1, but more about saving throws

The epic hero you invision is lvl 20. You start at lvl 1. How you get from point A to B is up to you.

wipes hands in satisfaction, I did my job

I guess I missed a step. Before step 1. Imagine the worst villain possible. Oooh so nasty! How does your player defeat them?
↑refer to step 1

[near ember]

Can you say what you want it to do

[indigo birch]

Once you have an image of that hero, go through the free material first, and find something that matches that idea. Then, everything else is "cosmetic"

[azure glen]

Hey, can someone help me with submitting a subclass?

I am getting this error, even tho I have all the required level features.

[edgy oriole]

You don't have to publish it to be able to use it in your games (and in fact we strongly recommend not publishing until you've throughly playtested it and are ready to share it with everyone on DnDBeyond).

[azure glen]

Ok, yes, that's good to now, but when I do want to publish it, what is the mechanical issue behind not being able to publish it?

[edgy oriole]

I'm not sure but it may relate to missing core fighter options like picking a fighting style or something similar.

[azure glen]

But that's base fighter? What does it have to do with an actual subclass?

[edgy oriole]

Again I'm not 100% sure - I don't have access to view your homebrew so can't speak what is or isn't missing.

But the validation system thinks something is missing

I do know if you reference spells not in the System Reference Document (SRD) or free rules, that it will flag that.

[dapper gazelle]

I agree with the you really shouldn't be rushing to publish. Should be testing first.

However, your problem is likely that you are missing a subclass ability at Level 3.

[azure glen]

But I have a subclass ability at level 3?

I even tried putting an extra one(for a total of two) at level 3, and it still gave me the same mistake.

[azure glen]

I dont have any spells in this.

[dapper gazelle]

Pretty sure there needs to be 2 at 3. Beyond that, would need to see details of subclass.

Have you tried copying an existing subclass first? Might clue you in to what is missing.

Battle Master even has 3 @3.

[uneven lantern]

Fighter’s bugged at the moment. That error won’t clear unless you have a 1st-level feature as well.

[dapper gazelle]

Does it just ignore the 1st level feature or it grants it?

[uneven lantern]

It’ll grant it, but you can set it as both Hide In Builder and Hide In Sheet to keep it from showing on the sheet.

[azure glen]

I have added a placeholder lvl 1 feature, but it still gives me the same mistake.

I also tried remaking the whole subclass, starting from just Champion fighter. And it gave my just "This is too similar to Champion", until i changed everything. And then it changed back to the same "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.".

[uneven lantern]

Did you hit the main Save button after?

That will re-trigger the validation process.

[azure glen]

I did, that's why it's there. The screenshot is from my "homebrew creations" page, not from the edit one.

Ok, ig im just

not gonna publish it

[uneven lantern]

You clicked the save button for the subclass itself? Not just the one for the feature?

[loud drift]

reminder that it doesn't need to be published to be used by you or anyone in a campaign with you and publishing should only be done once you're 100% done with it.

[merry pasture]

im using a hexblood, but for some reason the hex spell isn’t showing in my spells list? i do own the 2024 phb and have access to the spell, but it’s not added to my spells list:/

i’ve restarted my character twice and i’ve still had the same problem

[uneven lantern]

Since that species predates the 2024 rules, it’ll add the 2014 versions of those spells.

That’s why the Disguise Self there says “Legacy” beneath it.

[merry pasture]

aww damn ok, that’s so frustrating. thank u 🙏

[uneven lantern]

You’d need the 2014 PHB for the legacy version of Hex.

Alternatively, you can make a homebrew copy of that species and switch the spells to their 2024 versions.

[merry pasture]

very good point, i’ll look into that TYYY

[clever gyro]

Hey my DND Beyond is glitched, it’s not showing any Cleric Subclasses

[hybrid nova]

It's probably not glitched. Check to make sure Core Rules is on.

On the home tab.

hey can you add a homebrew spell on a homebrew magic weapon?

[uneven lantern]

I believe so.

[somber gorge]

A Question from my Curiosity:
I have an issue with the new Library, not properly showing what content I purchased. It is not that I cannot access or use the content i purchased, just that it is displayed incorrectly. For me it appears as if it is the content from the Legendary Bundle I got last year, that is wrongly displayed as "not yet purchased".
Is that like a know issue, or just a problem I have?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s a known issue. Should be fixed after the holidays.

[somber gorge]

Thanks a lot! Just making sure to not annoy the Support with tickets of things they already know. I wish wonderful holidays!

[sonic frigate]

Hi, I'm afraid the answer might be "not possible", but is there a way to download the monster manual as pdf? I just bought the digital product and can see the content in my account, but would prefer working with a pdf version... Thanks in advance for any help

[fading bramble]

DDB doesnt offer the books as PDFs

[sonic frigate]

OK, makes sense in terms of protection - thanks for the super fast response 🙂

[dire blade]

I'd recommend downloading the app on a mobile device. It makes the content more portable.

[turbid idol]

New to DND and to DND Beyond site. The DM I will be playing my first time with likes to stick with physical books and guides, he says he is old school 🤷 . Trying to build a character for the campaign with Beyond but I'm running into an issue where the setting don't match the 2024 handbook. This might be just me doing this wrong.
I was going to go "Guide"
Book says:
Feat: Magic Initiate
Skill Proficiencies: Stealth and Survival

Beyond gives you a drop down. Stealth and Survival are not even an option. Knowing I have to stick to the 2024 book, I'm at a loss

[uneven lantern]

Your character must already have those proficiencies from another source (i.e. from your class or species).

So it’s prompting you to choose an alternative instead.

[turbid idol]

Thanks so much, that was the answer

I have already tried to unlink accounts through Discord settings, but it's still not working.

Is there any other way to do this?

The spells from Downcast's Magical Savant feature in Grim Hollow does not have the option to choose which ability score to use for spellcasting. I think it is set to Wisdom. Is this intentional?

Because the species in Grim Hollow on DNDBeyond uses the 2024 rules (does not give a set ASI)

[near ember]

Yes it is always wisdom
Because it is a Cleric spell

[swift perch]

I have bought heros of faerun on dndstore.wizards.com/eu, how do I add the licence on D&D Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

If you check your purchase confirmation email, there should be a link you can use to get your redemption code.

Then you can enter that here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/redeem-key/

[swift perch]

I did not receive a confirmation email, just the paypal payment

[uneven lantern]

You might be able to find it in the order history on that site, then.

I’m not sure exactly where. Since I’m in the US, I’ve never ordered anything there. 😅

[swift perch]

I know the order number, but I don't have the activation key

• Magical Savant (Cleric spells only)
• Magical Savvy (Thaumaturgy)
  https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/ghpg/chapter-1-heritages-traits#DowncastBaseTraits

Then Magical Savvy says:

You learn one cantrip of your choice from any spell list, which you cast using the associated ability score: Intelligence for Wizard spells, Wisdom for Cleric and Druid spells, and Charisma for Bard, Sorcerer, and Warlock spells.

[neat spade]

hi, im trying to learn the games rules with my friend, but currently im looking at a 400 page guide book, and its a little overwhelming, where should i start learning before i get involved in my first campaign? a person that's willing to teach would be great

[uneven lantern]

Welcome! #learn-to-play and #dnd-newcomers can help you get started.

[little plume]

Does anyone happen to know how to get Flying Wonders to show up in the Artificer's Replicate Magic Item? I have the Heroes of Faerun sourcebook which I've looked up on the wiki as being where that specific item is located, but I can't seem to find it in my Plans options

[uneven lantern]

Are your Account Entitlements in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

Did you purchase the book yourself? If so, is it listed on that same page under Current Product Licenses?

If you didn't purchase it, is this character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you?

Do you have Expanded Rules enabled for that character?

[upbeat igloo]

Why is it when I try to type in find a game it won't let me?

[dapper gazelle]

I know people always say it but make sure you have checked your Spam / Junk and/or Trash folders. Also, make sure you are checking the email address you would have given D&D Beyond when you signed up.

Anything is obviously possible, but if a purchase was completed, you would usually have at least the email or be able to find it in your orders.

I don't really use PayPal but do they show the payment completed and/or accepted with some sort of receipt?

D&D folk could be on holidays so maybe they are delayed?

Spitballing here. As Spamandtuna said though, you probably have to open a ticket but that might take a while.

[edgy oriole]

Did you read the info in #find-a-game?

[swift perch]

I found a button in order history. you click the unlock and you get the code. Solved thank you all.

[little plume]

is this in response to me? sorry

[dapper gazelle]

EDIT: removed suggested actions. User reported problem solved.

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[uneven lantern]

They’re saying that button solved their issue.

[little plume]

I've checked my syncs, they are all synced up.
The book was purchased by myself and i have access to the other contents in the book such as feats for example.
I also have expanded rules enabled during character creation

[uneven lantern]

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

If it’s listed there, your entitlements are in sync, and you have Expanded Rules enabled, then I’d expect it to be there.

[little plume]

Correect

[uneven lantern]

And can you share a screenshot of it missing in the Magic Item Plans?

[little plume]

of course!

i checked flying, mechanical, wonder all separately without finding it

I will add that when i search for it on dndbeyond the magic items shows up in both "Heroes of Faerun" and "Adventures in Faerun"

So i assumed it would be included in the Heroes of Faerun sourcebook, but I wonder if that is just a mislabeling and it actually shows up in Adventures of Faerun instead

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the listing’s not currently included in Heroes.

And in the book itself, it seems to only mention the Domestic Wonder.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/frhof/auroras-whole-realms-catalog#MechanicalWonders

To your point, though, it does show up twice here: once for each book.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

Problem is they both seem to use the description from Adventures.

But ultimately, your theory is correct: you'd need Adventures to be able to select a flying wonder.

[little plume]

Thank you for troubleshooting the issue all the same!

Looks like I got another something to add to santa's list this year 😛

[dapper gazelle]

Me too apparently. My list only had Heroes as well.

[glad furnace]

hi, im not too sure if this is the correct place to ask, but ill do it regardless. So im going into a campaign with a character that is using 2024 classes, but the species and background of 2014, how does this influence my character in terms of the ASI?

on dndbeyond that is

[dire blade]

You only get the character creation ASI once either from your 2024 Background or your 2014 Species. #character-discussion can explain more.

[smoky spoke]

is there a way to get proficiency in the elven curved blade from abomination vaults

[dire blade]

In Pathfinder it has some interesting rules, but probably the best way to treat it in 5e is as a Greatsword.

[naive lodge]

This channel is for questions regarding D&D Beyond itself, not general D&D rules.

[dire blade]

You might be able to canvas some other DM's opinions in #dm-discussion and could consider some homebrew in #homebrew, but treating it as an existing 5e weapon type will result in it working implicitly within the DNDB character sheets.

[smoky spoke]

yeah, in dndbeyond its listed as a martial melee weapon, my elf ranger has martial weapon proficiency, yet i cannot select it as a weapon mastery choice in the class

[uneven lantern]

That's different from needing proficiency.

[smoky spoke]

this is not a dm issue, a pathfinder issue, a rules issue or a homebrew issue

[dire blade]

I do not believe that weapon has a 5e24 weapon mastery property, so it makes sense that it cannot be selected as such.

[uneven lantern]

Third-party weapon mastery on DDB is... odd.

[glad furnace]

ok so basically if im using both backgrounds and species from 2014 then it is the same as using all 2014?

[smoky spoke]

"Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency." the only requirement for mastery is proficiency

[uneven lantern]

You'll need to leave your weapon mastery choice unselected, then look for a feat that will let you add that mastery instead.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I'm aware. In terms of DDB, though, that's not your problem.

[smoky spoke]

Cleave. If you hit a creature with a melee attack roll using this weapon, you can make a melee attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon’s damage, but don’t add your ability modifier to that damage unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.

[dire blade]

It sounds like Spam has a better idea of exactly the issue here due to the item being 3rd-party, so I will defer on this question.

[uneven lantern]

Although... I'm not actually seeing a Weapon Mastery feat for that book.

[smoky spoke]

yeah, thats my inital question, what grants this "not weapon mastery" weapon mastery cause i dont see any feats in the book, or anything about it in the weapons section

[dire blade]

The answer doesn't really matter, but essentially yes. You only get the ASI once no matter how you select it. The rules state that if you use any part of a character's creation as 2024, the character is 2024, but when selecting 2014 options in DNDB it can show them in different places than it might for an all-2024 character.

tl;dr: Don't overthink it. You get the +2/+1 ASI once.

[glad furnace]

ok thanks

[uneven lantern]

Looks like the missing feat is a known issue. :/

You can probably make a homebrew copy of another Weapon Mastery feat and add that weapon in, though.

[dire blade]

Ah, I understand the issue now. The weapon type isn't available in the PHB feat because obviously, so it has to have a separate feat to achieve that, but it's missing here.

[smoky spoke]

so.. you're telling me theres a known issue on a paid product released in august that still hasnt been fixed, while dndbeyond has pumped out 7 OTHER paid products?

thats unbelievable

[smoky spoke]

i shouldnt have to. I paid 50$ for them to do that

[smoky spoke]

thats not what the rules say though, it should be built into the class. Ranger says: "Your training with weapons allows you to use the mastery properties of two kinds of weapons of your choice with which you have proficiency." and its fits within the perameters of that, i shouldnt have to take a feat for a inbuilt class feature

[dire blade]

If it were baked into the core class then it would give players access to the weapon mastery properties without owning the corresponding 3rd party product. It works differently than something like Roll20 or Foundry or whatever, and changing DNDB to work that way would be a large refactor.

Anyway, the devs are aware of the issue with the missing feat according to Spam and I'm sure will get to fixing it at some point. No one on this Discord server can expedite any part of this process, just provide information.

Ideally it would work like selecting Invocations or Spells, where it's all in one list but separated by category and only showing what you own. Hopefully the eventual backend refactor will eliminate the need for these "3rd Party Weapon Mastery" feats.

[dire blade]

Do we have a timeline for that refactor? I assume it will be a truckload of work.

[hybrid nova]

No idea, we just know it's being worked on.

[smoky spoke]

but theres other dropdowns that have things that dont appear if you don't own it IE subclasses

[hybrid nova]

Yes, and for whatever reason Masteries don't or more likely can't work that way.

We don't know why, and presumably the community reps on here won't either, so I wouldn't accost them over it.

[dire blade]

Yeah, but this is square-peg-round-hole. Those other things with dropdowns are as Crimson noted, they were designed and added after the fact to solve this problem, but it's a lot of work to make it work that way everywhere so they didn't do it. We don't know what the refactor they've talked about will entail, but fixing this might be part of it.

[smoky spoke]

i also understand that discord cant expedite the process, but the fact that they are selling a broken/unfinished product, and selling 7 other products in 4 months is insane

[hybrid nova]

For example, we know the backend refactor would be what addresses '24 Warlock not seeing '14 Invocations. It could presumably apply to things like the optional features and 3rd Party Masteries as well.

[dire blade]

Seems promising, yep. Here's hoping.

[dire blade]

These are different teams working on these things. The back-end devs are working on the refactor, while the implementation engineers are using the current infrastructure for new products. It is kind of silly to act like they can't sell new products until everything is 100% fixed about existing products. DNDB would cease to exist pretty fast if that were the case.

[hybrid nova]

As a software dev myself, never underestimate how difficult something is to code, especially with a decade of technical debt spanning 3 different company owners.

[smoky spoke]

This is not an excuse for selling a broken product, its not even labeled with a "this product wont work" warning like LOTR was

[dire blade]

The fix was homebrewable in the 30 minutes you've spent discussing this on Discord, though, so really it's not nearly that big a deal.

[hybrid nova]

Beyond is designed to work with official WotC products, and it working at all with 3rd Party stuff is a huge boon. Plus, 90% of what's in that book does work, and Beyond can't just make arbitrary changes to it without the owner (Paizo) signing off on it.

do i go out and buy a cheese grater that is missing a side and that i have to wait four months to use? no! the cheese grater company sells me a complete cheese grater! if i knwe the cheese greater was broken i wouldnt have bought the cheese grater

[smoky spoke]

if product too hard make no sell product

[dire blade]

This is a really bad comparison because you can't home-fix the cheese grater in 5 minutes, but I get you're upset and you're allowed to be.

[smoky spoke]

i paid 50$ not to homebrew it

[hybrid nova]

Look, getting up on your soapbox here is not going to help anyone, just saying.

[smoky spoke]

absolutely insane

[dire blade]

You can contact support and ask for a refund if this bothers you that much, tbh.
