im able to use DnDBeyond right now on PC. Did you try with another browser, or clearing cookies?

[short oak]

Down trying to access from the UK via Firefox.

Main page works, forums look like they've gone for self immolation again 😬

[fallow galleon]

Campaigns are down

[random garnet]

Oh its back on for me (Google Chrome)

Nvm. Only my character sheet

[lilac bramble]

Forums are locking up

[edgy oriole]

It appears the site is having some performance issues - I'm checking with folks in the back

[lilac bramble]

504 Gateway Time-out

[clever hearth]

i cant access my books, is there an eta?

[flat badge]

yeah kinda, had a issue yesterday that resolved it temporarly but seams its back - currently trying to get some homebrew items and spells done.

[edgy oriole]

Unfortunately no ETA currently

[fading bramble]

... ok, im getting them too

[timid drift]

+1 site isn't working for me either. No VPN, Canada, No extensions. Chrome.

[edgy oriole]

We have notified folks in the back so hopefully things will get addressed soon-ish

[random garnet]

No worries. As long as it is an issue that is known and being resolved.

thank you very much salute

[lilac bramble]

This seems like what was happening to forums before, a couple of weeks ago

[random garnet]

but strangely, I can access my characters ... so far

[edgy oriole]

Perhaps the big downtime planned on the 20th will address these performance issues.

[torn crystal]

Hey everyone! The team is aware that the site is being a butt. Thanks, mods!

[short oak]

You should really feed the folk in the back more snacks, clearly! 😂

[torn crystal]

i keep tellin' 'em 😅

[misty vortex]

The site seems to be functioning properly again.

[torn crystal]

yesssss feed me more reports of site stability

[fading bramble]

holding up another platter
the site has been restored to full

[torn crystal]

nomnomnomnom

[timid drift]

feeds Latia more good news Site seems to be online!

[torn crystal]

https://tenor.com/tSni.gif

okay, the team's feeling pretty okay about the site, so i'm gonna go. everyone be good and eat your vegetables. thanks for being cool

[fallow galleon]

We were able to finish our session

[leaden socket]

Is there a way in homebrew to grant a creature the ability to concentrate on multiple spells? I'm asking for things like Avrae compatability. I know Niv-Mizzet can do it (in the stat block anyway)

As a class feat, btw

[vivid spade]

Thank you!

[bronze granite]

There's a weird thing happening for me in dice rolls on DDB on my computer. If I click on a dice roll (for example, the "to hit" button on my rapier), instead of rolling the dice it pops up the dice roller on the side and loads the roll, then I hve to go over and tell it to roll. It's doing that for damage too. Is this a glitch or a new feature?

[dense viper]

Sounds like you may have the beyond 20 extension. If you disable it does it work with just one click?

[bronze granite]

Yes, that fixed it. Odd - it's not done that before! Thanks!

[near ember]

Moost of the time updates break pluggin's like beyond 20

[bronze granite]

Makes sense. Thanks!

[lament rock]

how do i cancel my subscription? every time i click the manage subscription link it takes me to the subscribe page

[dense viper]

On this page (https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscriptions/manage) there should be a blue link under the boxes that say hero and master tier

If that doesnt work you can always contact customer support.

DNDBeyond Character Generator question..
When you have created a Twist on a Species (and saved to my own Homebrew). Then go to use it in Character generator - I can't find it (I have Home brew turned on the first page, but I only get the standard Species, no options from My Homebrew (or even shared Homebrew)..

Where am I missing something or is it a BUG?

[dense viper]

How long ago did you finish making it? Sometimes it can take up to 15mins to show in the character builder maybe more if you have alot of tabs of dnd beyond open

[outer jacinth]

3 weeks

Tried again now, not a published to shares just my own Home brew

And only the single tab (I know how hungry Chrome can be with Memory)

[dense viper]

And you cant scroll down any further in the 2nd picture?

[outer jacinth]

Nope

[dense viper]

The Copy of Dwarf was made just within the past 20mins

[outer jacinth]

Wish I could see that 😂

[dense viper]

That shouldnt matter if you dont plan on publishing it. You may have to uncheck that you are going to have species options. I would suggest doing sub species like the 2024 Elf does

[outer jacinth]

Just the Homebrew option..

I'll try it, Thats why I started with a twist on a Goblin.

Thanks - I'll Give it another go..

[outer jacinth]

Ok just did a Elf with no changes just saves as is - and it worked!! Homebrew in the Species selection still no Nilbog but I'll just recreate it. & see..
Thanks

[dense viper]

Then I think the having Nilbog set to have species options, but not having any made is your problem.

Try changing Nilbog to say that it doesnt have species options

[balmy belfry]

I'm looking at the wizard class features in the book and it says It starts with six level 1 Wizard spells of your choice. However, creating a wizard character and you only see 4 level 1 spells and 3 cantrips available for your book. Any thoughts on the discrepancy?

[dire blade]

Your spellbook is the spells you know, not the spells you have prepared. Keep reading the Wizard Spellcasting feature.

[balmy belfry]

spell book also shows just 4

ah, i'm seeing how it's being displayed... there's not a max implemented for spell book just your prepared is displayed, little confusing during character creation, expecially since spell book is separated prepared, etc.

[dire blade]

Right, you can learn as many spells in your spellbook as your DM enables you, though you do get a baseline number of them. You then prepare from those spells in your spellbook.

[dapper gazelle]

Wizards just have slightly different mechanics due to the spellbook than other classes, so it has to be a little different.
-# Personally though, I would like to see some of the stuff renamed a little as DDB isn't always great using the same words as the PH for these things, e.g., they use Learn for 1+ spells when they should be using Prepare (or something different for copying in tot he book) while Learn remains appropriate for the Cantrips.

[random garnet]

The character sheet tab icon is a bit off.

Like I can barely tap it.

[random garnet]

Google Chrome app on mobile

[mossy plume]

In addition, choose an affinity for the source of your divine power: good, evil, law, chaos, or neutrality. You learn an additional spell based on that affinity, as shown below. It is a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count against your number of sorcerer spells known. If you later replace this spell, you must replace it with a spell from the cleric spell list.

So I can replace that spell but idk how in ddb

[mossy plume]

?

[near ember]

You can't whiteout Homebrew

[mossy plume]

? this isn't homebrew

that's part of XGtE

[sweet pier]

I want to use the same submodifier dropdown menu as the optional trait "Origin Proficiencies" for my homebrew species on dnd beyond. Which one does it use?

[mossy plume]

direct quote from it but idk how to replace the cure wounds with healing word

[near ember]

I know (it just dousn't work on dnd beyond)

[mossy plume]

Where do I complain

[dapper gazelle]

DDB in general does not do a lot of things. A number of which are a result of being unaware of certain things going on at the table. Example, DDB is unaware of the rounds being played so it cannot activate the +5 for Shield automatically without user intervention.

You basically need to do much the same here. Create a homebrew something that adds the spell and then just don't select the spell that you will not be using.

As to where to complain, probably better if you look at it more as a Feature suggestion or request. DDB neither claims to be or strives to be a complete RAW implementation of the rules.

[edgy oriole]

#ddb-feedback - but it's likely already a known issue and we don't know when the devs will get it addressed

But we do recommend less complaining and more "hey this feature doesn't work"

[sweet pier]

"When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20."

In the homebrew species I made this species trait with the modifiers for ability scores but for whatever reason the ability scores arent working. How do I fix it?

[uneven lantern]

Did you include a Fixed Value?

[sweet pier]

yep thats what the modifiers are for

[uneven lantern]

You’d need something like…

• Type: Bonus
• Subtype: Choose an ability score
• Fixed Value: 2

Homebrew edits can also take up to 15 minutes to appear on the sheet. If you just barely changed it, you might just need to wait a little.

[sweet pier]

I did
Type: Bonus
Subtype: Choose an Ability Score to increase by 2

theres a by 1 and a by 2

do these not work at all?

[sweet pier]

they show as changed but its a +0 for them

so its not like its taking a while

[sweet pier]

yep it was this

this is completely broken

your version works

[uneven lantern]

You can use that Subtype, but you still need a Fixed Value.

[sweet pier]

yep ive done that

how do i add common without it being a trait?

[sweet pier]

is there any way to homebrew class features?

not feats

[gaunt garnet]

Does the site work as normal for you? Since the start of the day(EU timezone here) I am experiencing internal server errors whenever I search for homebrew stuff. The books are slow to load as well

[naive lodge]

Can you try on another browser/device/network?

[idle arch]

D&D Beyond does not have a feature for creating homebrew classes. Its been highly requested, but as of now we have no indication of whether or not its something they will develop in the future

[sweet pier]

i got it figured out class features are under subclass

[idle arch]

That could work, sure

[sweet pier]

when you use the template feature ie copying subclasses like college of lore to use as a base

does it give you everything you have access to for that subclass?

like is it the full base college of lore experience or do i gotta re-add stuff to it

then apply my changes

[idle arch]

Most of the time, it will give you all of the subclass features. A few of the most mechanically complicated subclasses have features that can't be replicated by D&D Beyond's homebrew tools, because they were originally hard-coded as part of that subclass. So those features are not replicated when you make a copy of those subclasses. I don't remember any examples off the top of my head, I just know I've run into that issue before

[sweet pier]

does college of lore have this issue?

or is it completely fine

[idle arch]

It is completely fine

[sweet pier]

peak that helps out so much lol

i was dreading the amount of work i might have to do

[gaunt garnet]

tried different devices (desktop, mobile, tablet), different networks (wifi, 5g), different browsers (chrome, safari, edge) and still whenever I try to browse homebrew items I get an internal server 500 error. Cleared cache, cookies etc, logged out and back in and still the error persists.

[naive lodge]

Can you provide the link to where you're getting the error?

[gaunt garnet]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/magic-items?filter-type=0&filter-search=yeti+skin&filter-requires-attunement=&filter-effect-type=&filter-effect-subtype=&filter-has-charges=&filter-author=&filter-author-previous=&filter-author-symbol=&filter-rating=-14

[earnest hare]

Can I not just cast Mage Armor and have it add to my AC? There's nothing to click.

[vernal fractal]

I've reported the site slowdowns and errors.

[dense viper]

Most temporary affects, like Mage Armor, arent programed in right now so you would have to override your ac for now
Or make a magic item that you equip or unequip as the situation calls for

[jagged atlas]

Is metamagic adept entirely unavailable if you are making a character with a 2024 class? I could've sworn my friend had it.

[idle arch]

Metamagic Adept is still a legal and possible choice. Here's a few suggestions of why it might not be showing up:

• Ensure that content sharing is enable in the campaign and that you are creating your character within that campaign page
• Ensure that your account entitlements are in sync
• Ensure that 2014 Expanded Rules are toggled on for the sources options on your character sheet
• Ensure that the character you are creating meets the prerequisites for that feat
• Ensure that you haven't already selected the feat elsewhere in the character creation process

[sweet pier]

How do i make a homebrewed class feature have the "special" action like the "magical inspiration" class feature bards get

[dense viper]

That feature is more just a deception that gets added to your character sheet.

To make something like that you would just make a subclass feature and fill out the description.

Or were you more asking how to make your own Optional Class Features?

[sweet pier]

Nah im just trying to get the action similar to it

Is the general action fine?

[dense viper]

For when adding it to the actions tab? Should be fine. Just set the activation type to special

[sweet pier]

Oh is that how that works

Thanks

Imma fix that now

[lusty void]

Have they added primal companions in the extra tab for 2024 beast masters yet?

[dire blade]

No, and I do not suspect that they will do that.

[dapper gazelle]

This and many other statblocks within something else seem to be things they just are not planning to add in a hurry. You will also notice Otherworldly Steed, Battlesmith Defender, etc. are also not implemented as are any number of statblocks in summon spells.

[hybrid nova]

I think for now they are "content" with just having the statblock included in the feature/spell. If/when they do get implemented, I imagine it would be after the big backend rebuild.

[leaden socket]

I asked this a few days ago but didn't really get an answer. Is there a way in homebrew to grant a player a classfeat that allows them to concentrate on multiple spells? I'm asking for things like Avrae compatibility. I know Niv-Mizzet (Dragon from Ravnica) can do it, as part of the stat block if not with Avrae

[dapper gazelle]

Yeah, kind of hoping for some greater support. It's a hole I have to deal with at the table when I DDB but definitely could be worse. There's no question a lot of what DDB does do makes my gaming easier. I just find myself shying away from any of those pets due to not wanting to deal with the annoyance.

[dire blade]

I don't think you can do this in a way that is Avrae-compatible, but you can homebrew a feat that does anything if it's just text so it's otherwise possible.

[leaden socket]

Well if it isn't Avrae compatible with a class feature I don't think I really need that fear. I'll just have to try and remind people when they take the subclass. Thanks again Duck

[leaden socket]

Hey, I'm curious about something. I copied the 2024 Aberrant Sorcerer as a base for my own homebrew subclass and see that there are spells added to the bottom in the Additional Specific Spells section. What is the difference between having those there and simply adding those spells as part of a class feature? Every time I've tried it it seems to add each of the additional spells from either added source, even duplicats of the same spell

[dire blade]

It behaves a little differently for each base class, but Additional Specific Spells are always prepared once you have reached the appropriate level. Adding them to a subclass feature's Additional Spell List instead allows you to learn them as if they were spells on your spell list, and they would count against your Sorcerer spells learned that way.

[leaden socket]

Huh. Well, since the spells would just be learnt anyway automatically, I don't think I'll waste time adding them to the Additional Specific Spells section

But thanks!

[leaden socket]

Sorry for all the questions, but is there a way for a feature to automatically spend sorcery points? Or would this be another "Linking a subclass feature to Barbarian Rage is an Admin thing"?

Oh, another question! How would I make something last until the users next turn? Like a resistance or Advantage thing. For Avrae

Edit: I am a fool. Modifiers have a Duration thingy

[unkempt quail]

i logged in and all of my sheets were gone but it shows up when my friends search for it

[dapper gazelle]

You will want to check you used the same login. I have multiple emails and when I log on with the wrong account,all my stuff disappears.

[harsh swift]

Just noticed this

OK I see the Saves but how do you get a +10 to Initiative? Even adding the Proficiency bonus in I only get +7?

[hybrid nova]

It effectively has Expertise in Initiative. Most Legendary creatures above a certain CR get that in the new MM. Some non-Legendary as well.

[harsh swift]

Got it thanks I'll check that out.

[hybrid nova]

It's also worth noting that the first statblock there is in the wrong "mode" as if the statblock is a '14 monster. This is likely because the Encounter Builder isn't updated to work with '24 rules, and you're meant to use the one in Maps now. The Encounter Builder will be showing you incorrect thresholds for encounter difficulty, so if you're going to continue using it for that purpose, make sure to have a tab with the new thresholds open so you can see where it lands now.

[harsh swift]

Thanks, I don't like the Map builder and also don't like being pushed into using something to get something else. They should update it across the platform as I have considered just going outside of DndBeyond to start building encounters. Also it's been Beta for ever and a day LOL

[indigo birch]

NPC and PC are not the same.

PCs don't gain lair actions when they have a bastion. They don't gain legendary actions/reactions just because, either

[unkempt quail]

ive only use one account

i had to remake a sheet for my game tdy

[indigo birch]

Also, this Assassin NPC is Challenge Rating (CR) 8
Meaning - for a party of 4 or 5 players, level 8....this Assassin alone will be a "medium" threat...to the whole party

• of course he/she will have a high initiative

[uneven lantern]

What username does it show here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

What username do your friends see attached to your old character?

If the name isn’t exactly the same, then you have indeed signed in to a different account.

[unkempt quail]

the one i made the new sheet on

[uneven lantern]

But is it the same username for the old character?

[unkempt quail]

i've only used one account and when i check the date that it was made, it is the same as the date i made the OG acc

same user

[uneven lantern]

If your old character really does show the exact same username, then you’ll likely need to contact customer support.

[dapper gazelle]

The reason why we are suggesting this it is quite common to use a different sign in and end up in a different account. For example, if you used to sign in with Twitch and now sign in with a Wizards account, you will have a different name and different characters. This is why we were having you confirm that the name you see is the same name your friends see because this issue of accidentally logging in with a different method happens more than one might expect and people don't always realize that all of the logins effectively point to different accounts.

[unkempt quail]

i’ll try seeing if the other types work, thanks !

[dapper gazelle]

But yeah, if you have confirmed that, you will need to wait it out with Support. Support can just take a while and waiting times measured in weeks are sometimes reported but they do deal with them in order and repeated messages supposedly pushes you to the back of the line. So obviously better if it can be sorted out earlier.

[oak forum]

hi a friend of mine cant see a homebrew race i made even if i send them the link for it while my other friends can any idea why?

she gets this

[uneven lantern]

Is that friend in a DDB campaign with you?

[oak forum]

ye but i sent them link to it so they could add it to library

and i know the link works cus i sent it to other friends and they can see the homebrew race

[rain ether]

Hi, hosting a dnd campaign for friends, i created unassigned "premade characters" however upon players joining they have to bring their own any ideas ?

[uneven lantern]

Are they a non-subscriber who has already filled their six-character limit?

If so, they’ll need to remove an existing character before they can add another — premade or otherwise.

[rain ether]

They are non subscriber with only 4 characters

[uneven lantern]

And your premade characters are assigned to that campaign?

[rain ether]

Yes they are.

But they only get the option to join with their own characters

[uneven lantern]

Can you share screenshots of both?

What you see, and what your player sees.

[rain ether]

I will shortly

[uneven lantern]

That’s very strange.

It definitely looks like everything’s set up correctly, so I’d expect those characters to be there.

But since they clearly aren’t, you may want to contact customer support:

[trim axle]

So I'm sorta new I've only been playing on and off for a year, I have a hard time Paying attention in my sessions. I love the story and sessions in general but I find it hard to focus. I was wondering if yall encountered this problem too and what habits to form to pass the time or improve focus in the game

[oak forum]

have a figet toy or something to keep your hands busy

[edgy radish]

anyone know why i cannot truly unassign this character from myself? claimed it once too see the sheet, unclaimed it but it still appears under my characters and under my name in the mobile app

[loud drift]

this is support for the website and mobile app, you'll want to ask your help in #dnd-discussion but I'd recommend making sure you aren't drinking too much caffeine and maybe look for supplements that have lions mane, omega-3, and l-theanine

why is circle of power not showing up if I filter spells by class arteficer?

[loud drift]

[near ember]

I misread the filter name (why are they not marked whit legacy)

[loud drift]

they're marked by ruleset

[near ember]

oke

[uneven lantern]

Not sure. Anything in your own collection is automatically shared through your campaigns. I’d only expect a 404 if they’re not in a campaign with you or if it was removed from your collection.

But if neither of those are the cause, then you may need to contact customer support.

I exedently made an homebrew subclass that give you the error 500 if you try to edit it is there a way to fix this or do i neet to start over

[uneven lantern]

Hard to say without knowing why it happens. You could try contacting customer support to see if they can identify the cause.

[near ember]

it also gives that error if I try it whit anny other homebrew subclass (even once I just made)

[leaden socket]

I want to make one final homebrew subclass but I keep getting a 500 error. I copied the Archfey Warlock, that worked. But when the create homebrew page tried to take me to edit that created homebrew, it gave me the error, and I also can't edit it through My Creations

Well, at least this isn't an issue affecting me alone

[near ember]

I have a suspicion they turned it off becaus of what I pout in #ddb-feedback

[near ember]

can you test if it is also doing it for you

[uneven lantern]

I don’t have the ability to edit anyone else’s homebrew, sorry.

[near ember]

I mean on your own homebrew (I am expirencing it on a coppy of oath of devotion)

o it is working now that I have made a ticked wierd

[willow loom]

It's impossible to expend hit dice without taking a short rest, which is a problem for stuff like the Healer feat

[verbal creek]

that is featback but I would love the abilety to do that

Nice

[heavy nest]

I am not seeing the new polygon tool for fog of war, did it get rolled back?

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid so. #ddb-feedback message

[leaden socket]

You know how that new Circle of the Moon Druid Subclass has that red text in some of the spells it grants? How would I go about adding that red text to spells added through a homebrew subclass?

[compact escarp]

One of my friends seems unable to access my character?

I have it set to Public, and I've sent them both the link straight from my address bar, and the "Shareable Link" and they seem only to be able to see a blank white page with the D&D Beyond navbar on top.

I believe this bug began after I created a Campaign earlier, though I never explicitly added this character to the campaign.

I've tried sending two different links. I've tried Privating and Publicizing (?) the character, and the issue persists.

Version: @dndbeyond/character-app@1.70.16

[uneven lantern]

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

[uneven lantern]

I’d recommend making a homebrew copy of the subclass to see how it was set up.

[compact escarp]

They said they've tried two separate browsers, VPN disabled.

[leaden socket]

Darn, I hate doing that... But thanks for the suggestion

[silent wigeon]

its not letting me view stuffi bought

[uneven lantern]

Can you share the link here?

[uneven lantern]

Can you give a specific example?

[silent wigeon]

i figured it out

[quaint herald]

It seems the 'send to DM' option is missing when viewing my character sheets. Not showing up in any of the bottom left roll buttons, right click menu or the gamelog default. I'm not the DM of this campaign, since I know they don't show up if you are the DM. Tested this with no extensions and in both chrome/firefox

[vernal fractal]

Will likely be back Tuesday.

[bronze granite]

Just as a suggestion, you might be able to get it to work by making a homebrew spell and giving it the circle of the moon tag. Then the class might recognise it as a subclass spell and add the text. It might not work but could be worth a try.

[leaden socket]

It isn't for circle of moon, but thanks for the suggestion

[bronze granite]

Ah, just re-read your message - sorry! Thought you wanted it to pop up on other spells! Don’t mind me…

[leaden socket]

Nah, don't worry about it! All good

hey, im having an issue with viewing my sheets. starting yesterday, when anyone other than me uses a link to open a sheet i had made public, it just stays stuck on a white screen and doesnt load the sheet's contents. i havent changed any settings, and the sheets are still public. any ideas how to fix?

[dire blade]

Can you link one here?

[dull fox]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/120714445

C5 John - Merlin loads for me.

[dull fox]

that is weird

could it maybe be a dndbeyond account thing?

everyone has been able to load these sheets for like 3 years running now just fine

it just randomly stopped working yesterday

[dire blade]

It's pretty unlikely for there to be some special behavior attached to certain accounts like that. More likely would be their internet experiencing a partial outage / being slow or DNDBeyond having a momentary blip.

It appears to be working right now, though.

[dull fox]

that is really weird

on my phone, not logged in, im not able to load the sheet either

phone is on the same internet as the laptop signed in thats loading the sheets normally

[dull fox]

seems like they also had a similar issue

ok i just had one of the people in my campaign make an account, and they were then able to see the sheet perfectly fine @dire blade

seems like being signed in or not is the issue

[dire blade]

Ah, interesting.

Yes, I can reproduce it in an incognito window. That definitely seems like a bug.

[dull fox]

that is definitely weird

this wasnt an issue as of last sunday 8pm est, everyone in my group was able to access the sheets just fine during the session

checking dndbeyond's changelog, i see there was an update jan 14, but it doesnt mention anything about any changes to character sheets

Opening magic items and other game rules while not signed in works just fine, player sheets are the issue

[vernal fractal]

I'm wrangling children through an airport, but if someone can write up a detailed description of the issue with some example links that I can copy/paste, I can send it to the correct team

2. Attempt to view any public character sheet, like https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/120714445
3. Note that the character sheet does not load

[edgy oriole]

Does it show up here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/en/library?type=adventures&searchValue=borderlands
Also check to make sure your entitlements are in sync

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[stark light]

Ah yes it does show there!

[edgy oriole]

So then you can access it there! Does that help?

[stark light]

Yes it does, thanks!

[vernal fractal]

Logged it! Thanks for reporting.

[dull fox]

👍 thanks for the fast response

[plucky cradle]

If I pick tabaxi do I have to manually add the asi's?

[plucky cradle]

Guess not as it's on background now?

[edgy oriole]

In 2024 it comes from the background correct

[young galleon]

soo a friend of mine has the extension to let the dbd rolls appear on roll 20, but today it wasn't working as usual it anything that might have caused it to break? it was a new campaign.

[tribal igloo]

You'd need to contact the developers of that tool. We don't have any control over third-party extensions, nor any way to provide support for them.

[dire surge]

Anyone experiencing problems with the Maps VTT when uploading maps? The tool that lets you size the token isnt allowing you to do that.

[edgy oriole]

I have not but if you can provide reproducible steps we can test it and if the issue shows up for us we can pass it on to the devs in the back. You can also use the Feedback functionality in Maps to let the devs know directly what issues you're running into.

[dire surge]

From my campaign page i click launch vtt, I open map browser, go to my Uploaded Maps, click Upload Map and choose the file from my pc and name it and click next. On the Create Token Scale page, usually pressing the + or - buttons scales the image up or down to fit the token, but clicking those is doing nothing.

Ive tried on multiple devices and with multiple images

[slim coral]

Howdy, I run a Library Club game with roughly 20ish players. I know campaigns have a 12 player limit, but I saw on an old dndb thread that the limit could be increased with special permissions. Does anyone know if that's still possible? And if so, what I could do to make that happen?

[vernal fractal]

We'll look into it.

[bronze granite]

Have the gemstone digital dice been taken off the store? I can't see them when I search the marketplace. I want the pretty clickity clacks!

[vernal fractal]

Yes, they have been.

[vernal fractal]

We can't reproduce. Can you dm me with a bit more information from here? https://www.mysupportdetails.com/

[bronze granite]

That’s sad!

[vernal fractal]

Also can you send me the image you are trying to use? It might be tied to something about the specific image

[drowsy token]

So i wanna make a character but like how do i do the stats and stuff whats the rules or like number limits or whatever

Does a sourcebook bundle exist for '24 products yet? I bought the 2014 one a while back but I'm trying to get '24 set started as well.

Thanks! Not sure why it wasn't coming up when I searched bundle!

[glossy ledge]

question for Maps? did something change in the token library? Last week I had access to way more tokens... I have the master tier and shared content with my players in campaign if that matters

also when I tick "Hide monsters not in... " I can still see grayed out versions of the tokens in the dropdown

[dire blade]

Content sharing appears to be working correctly for me. Monsters shared with me, the DM, by my players are available for me to use.

[glossy ledge]

on maps?

[dire blade]

Yup.

[dense viper]

Someone that Dms in my local Adventure league mentioned this to me this morning and it turned out that the person who had the Master subscription lost it and as a result content sharing wasnt turned on.

So you should check to make sure it is still on for your campaign

[glossy ledge]

its still is, I am trying to add more tokens of the monster I already added last week and its not available,weird

[uneven lantern]

Which of those are you trying to add? Bandit Lord?

[glossy ledge]

yeah

[uneven lantern]

Did you purchase Tome of Beasts 1 yourself? Or was it shared by someone else in the campaign?

[glossy ledge]

shared

I think, I dont have it purchased, but I had access

[uneven lantern]

Who in that campaign purchased it? Do they see it here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[glossy ledge]

I cant access that information right now, players not available

[uneven lantern]

Has anyone recently left the campaign, or had their character deactivated?

[glossy ledge]

nope, nothing changed

[uneven lantern]

And just to make sure, this page still shows that you have an active subscription?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[glossy ledge]

yeah

also this doesnt work

if I has anything to do with it

[uneven lantern]

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

[glossy ledge]

did not try, but it worked until recently

its in latest chrome

[vernal fractal]

Yes, we became aware of this bug a week or so ago. Working on fixing it.

[dire blade]

I think there might be a Maps behavior difference requiring it be shared in the campaign that you're playing in and not just generally shared with you, but I don't have the ability to test on my account unfortunately. My suspicion is that it must be shared with you in the campaign that you're playing in Maps and not in a campaign outside that one.

Trying to see if I can find any way for me to test that, though.

Ah, nevermind, I do have the ability to test it, but that actually doesn't matter. As the DM, I have access to any content shared with me in Maps presently. Seems fair.

I don't have any other ideas why you might not be able to see the tokens! If a Master tier subscription is content enabled for the campaign and you can view the monster in the book itself, it should be available!

[echo osprey]

Hello,

I am running a hybrid campaign where I have 4 players in a room who all use mobile devices and I am projecting the campaign on a shared screen from the VTT. Over the last few sessions, we've noticed that the updates that the players make on their mobile device character sheets (specifically their HP values, Initiative, etc.) do not reach the desktop app a majority of the time. The few times that they DO reach, it's often super delayed, and can take many minutes to update, if at all.

I have now tried this in both the MAPS VTT and the Encounters features, and they both exhibit this broken functionality. I as a DM, am able to update the character sheets from my browser, and those updates are instantaneous but I would very much prefer not to have to manage each of my player's character sheets in combat.

Has anyone else had this issue and found any workarounds? Is this a known bug that the developers are aware of?

(For some added info, I confirmed that everyone has the latest DDB app version on their phones.)

[dire blade]

I experienced this issue on Saturday as well and reported it in #ddb-feedback. It seemed like a temporary outage of those features in DNDB.

With any luck it was just a service outage and not systemic.

[tacit hamlet]

How do I get my homebrewed item to set the player character's AC to a set amount? Apparently, Set --> Armor Class --> 16 does not work...

[uneven lantern]

What’s the actual rules text for this item?

[tacit hamlet]

I’m trying to create armor that replicates barkskin. So AC becomes 16.

I have the base item set as hide armor, fwiw

[torn crystal]

hey everybody ("LaTia what are you doing, it's midnight where you are," I hear you say, to which I say shhhhh don't ask questions)

just a reminder that The Big Maintenance is scheduled to begin <t:1768899600:R>, so my UK/EU and other across the pond folks, get everything you need for your games ready now cuz once <t:1768899600:t> hits, you won't be able to get back into DDB for six hours.

Check the announcement for more details, and we'll see you on the other side 🫡

[pure surge]

Hello i have a question is there a way to brew a spell that if you roll a d20 1-10 will be -dmg and if 11-20 will +dmg ?

[dapper gazelle]

I have to ask as it will probably affect coding... What is -dmg in this case?

Specifically, is the spell cast along with something else? Because -dmg as a standalone is just 0 damage. Unless you want -dmg to maybe mean healing in which case the spell would be structured differently as it would be 1-10 heals while 11-20 damages.

Which is loosely to say, what -dmg means may affect how the spell codes as negative damage is not really a thing normally.

[gray kite]

Hey, new to this discord just trying to get any answer I can because DnD beyond support hasn't emailed me back in a few days, but I recently purchased the Grim Hollow player guide, and I cant access the content but when I go to click "purchase" it says ive purchased already and they've taken the money out of my account. Has anyone had this problem before?

[near ember]

Which one of the 3?

Have you gatten a code in the mail and check the messages below after the maintenance

[loud sedge]

Missing Content?

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

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

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

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

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

[ebon rune]

Site's down?

[gray kite]

Yeah I followed everything the AI support bot said, everything looks as normal as it does from past purchases

[gray kite]

Maybe it'll be fixed after maintenance is finished?

[near ember]

I can help after maintenance if it is still not working than (can you ping me at that point)

[gray kite]

Thank you 🙏

[near ember]

#dnd-announcements message

[crude pier]

Did they provide a changelog or list of expected changes? I know they are doing optimization for latency but the level and duration of the maintenance itself is huge

[buoyant elbow]

This DDB outage is starting to look like a Verizon outage. The status page has been updated to "major outage".

[torn crystal]

omg 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is cuz I told them that we should change the modules during future maintenances to reduce confusion 😅

You can disregard it; I was just told we’re about to come out of maintenance as scheduled

[near ember]

That took long enough

[torn crystal]

Yeah, everything’s green now 🤣

[buoyant elbow]

Excellent! I didn't want you to have to tell us all that you'd be sending out a $20 credit for 13 hours of lost time...🙄

[near ember]

Were dous this link send you
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/ghpg/introduction

[buoyant elbow]

You know what though? It is awesome to see SO many D&D players again and people that depend of DDB to be up and running for their entertainment. I started playing D&D in 1978 and it really died off. I'm glad to see it make such a strong comeback. I only wish that Star Frontiers (D&D's space counterpart) would've survived too. That was an amazing game!

[vivid flicker]

Team - just FYI i know maintenance is over but i seem to still have issues where i own something and there is a visual bug of it showing to add to cart. Not sure if this was part of the back end work from this morning. On a side note, thank you all for the hard work you put into it

[torn crystal]

This is happening within your library still? I will follow up on that. Thanks for letting me know!

I do know that this maintenance was largely back-end, so I don't think that bug was a focus.

[vivid flicker]

Yup still happens. Again I know it’s not urgent since it appears to be just visual. When I go to the cart it clearly validates that I do own the product. Appreciate yall.

[hollow summit]

Just joined this discord as I havent found an answer online. I just purchased an online book yesterday for a specific subclass (echo knight) and i've been through all the "fixes" but nothing seems to work and the subclass still doesnt show up when im trying to create a new character. has anyone had an issue like this?

[dense viper]

You may be trying to use this with the 2024 fighter when it will only work with the 2014 fighter

[vernal fractal]

We've already identified the issue you were having with publicly viewable character sheets. No ETA on a fix at the moment, but it shouldn't take particularly long.

[hollow summit]

I've gone through all the sources I think and clicked them on and off and with all sorts of combinations but nothing seems to make it pop up when looking under the subclasses. Do you know what specifically should be clicked on/off?

[vernal fractal]

This isn't my team, but Brian Perry (the Executive Producer of D&D Beyond) has talked publicly about our game data engine rebuild as a huge project for 2026. The current game engine is near 20 years old (older than D&D Beyond itself, actually! The original version forked off another project).

While we are rebuilding it, we're trying to keep the old one alive and kickin'. Today's maintenance was a bunch of backend database optimizations to improve reliability, speed, and some clever work to prevent running out of room in various tables.

There were no specific bug fixes deployed during this maintenance, just general reliability work.

[dense viper]

You need the 2014 core rules as well as the Critical Role partner content.

then when picking your class you need to scroll down and pick the 2014 version of the fighter class

This one and not this one

[hollow summit]

You are truly a hero

[quick raven]

Since the maintenance period this morning, any customization (renaming items, adding notes to them, etc.) have been lost from the Party Inventory. Two of my groups have used these features to record where they find items, who in the party can use them (separate from who has an item equipped), and other notes for using them so it's all in one place on the sheet during games. ALL of these customizations are missing now.

Is anyone else having this issue and does anyone know if it is a visual bug/lag/cache issue or if the information we added is truly lost?

[dire blade]

This does look like it was lost. My players seem to have lost all their customizations as well for items in their party inventory, which has made much of it meaningless. @torn crystal sorry for the ping but wanted to make sure you saw this.

[torn crystal]

no apology needed, I've raised this to the team

@dire blade @quick raven clarifying question: you're only seeing this within Party Inventory?

[quick raven]

That's right. I haven't checked all of my/my players' sheets, but the ones I have still have customizations correct in their own Inventory. The issue of lost customizations is only within the Party Inventory.

[torn crystal]

I'm gonna repeat this back to you so I'm sure I understand it right:

• Your Party Inventory: customizations gone
• Players' Individual Inventories: customizations still there
• Players' Party Inventories: customizations still there (?)

[quick raven]

Players' Party Inventories: customizations gone

customizations gone in all Party Inventory tabs

(And I'm happy to test anything on the sheets too if that would help you!)

[dire blade]

Agree with what Athena is seeing. Any customizations in the Party Inventory are gone, while customizations on character's items are still there. I can provide multiple character links showing this issue if needed.

[torn crystal]

yes, please; if both of you could toss me a campaign link or an affected character link please 🙂

[quick raven]

Is it possible to send these to you in a DM? If not I'll post them here.

[dire blade]

DMing you, one sec'.

[torn crystal]

DMs should be fine

[scenic thicket]

Anyone else found that item customizations have disappeared from their character sheet? I have a character that shows in their inventory they have a "Sack" instead of the customized name "Magic Items" that I have given to the sack. All the customizations for the character are gone. Some of my characters are fine, but some have had this loss of info.

[torn crystal]

look a few messages up, friend 🙂 we're investigating

[scenic thicket]

I tried reviewing the chat but will look closer. Thanks.

(of course now I see it very plainly ... my bad)

[torn crystal]

all good, my friend. thanks for reporting it!

[dire blade]

Interestingly, scrolling through all of my characters, I do see a few who had it impact their personal items and not just those in the party inventory. It appears that everyone's party inventory reverted, but Legacy items on older characters seem reverted as well whereas non-Legacy characters (ie. 2024 characters) still have customizations. 🤔

I do this pretty regularly to rename pouches and chests to be something else for sorting items, and many of their organization renames are gone since the maintenance.

[quick raven]

An additional quirk (LaTia you should see them on the sheet link I sent you): the following items from the Legacy Scholar's Pack were added to a pouch in the party inventory: Book (Legacy), Ink (1 ounce bottle) (Legacy), Ink Pen (Legacy), Little Bag of Sand (Legacy), Parchment (One Sheet) (Legacy), Small Knife (Legacy).
To add info for what RisingDusk said, this is a 2024 character and the Pouch in question had previously been named "Valuables & Trade Goods" and used all 2024 items except for an entry of 11 azurite (since there is no non-Legacy azurite item).

[marble rune]

Lost customizations on items - such as spell scrolls where they were customized to list the name of the spell; personal inventory. crashed while updating and then -- all the customizations on all the items were gone

[torn crystal]

It's an announcement now: #server-announcements message

[buoyant elbow]

I have a player creating a level 1 sorcerer that is a drow elf. I've tried both in the app and the website to get Darkvision to update on the character sheet from 60ft to 120ft and for the Dancing Lights cantrip to show up in the spell list. Neither is happening. I've chosen Drow Lineage from the drop down under elf and still nothing happens. Any assistance would be appreciated.

[torn crystal]

Lost Customizations should be fixed now; please give sheets a refresh. Announcement will be updated soon 🙂

[dire blade]

Can you make the character Public and share a link to it here?

[dire blade]

Looks like everything returned for all but one of my characters, oddly enough? But if only the one character didn't recover then I consider that a win in my eyes. Interestingly, it's the character I loaded up and noticed the issue first on. I tried clearing my cache but still didn't come back. I wonder if my loading it and checking the customizations before the fix went out overwrote my customizations. Anyway, this is probably good enough for me either way.

[torn crystal]

Announcement updated: #server-announcements message

[buoyant elbow]

Can I PM you the link?

[buoyant elbow]

The corrected Darkvision and Dancing Lights cantrip only show up in the "Go To Character Sheet" button on the website. The correct spells and/or Darkvision distance do not show up in the app.

[scenic thicket]

So 2 characters that I viewed when the issue existed and had lost their item customizations still show as missing this data. I was using Chrome and I flushed the cache and even logged out/in to D&D Beyond - still don't see the customization. I switched to viewing the character with Firefox - which I don't normally use but the character sheet still doesn't show my item customization. I then tried viewing the character using the D&D Beyond iOS app and my character still has no customizations showing.

What might be the issue?

[serene swan]

is dnd beyond being weird for anyone else? today there's just random banner ssaying random stuff at the top of the website

right now it just says "making minotaur from born"

[gray kite]

I got this message this morning

[scenic thicket]

Nevermind. Things have resolved themselves. Not sure if some cloud web cache finally updated or some my other hijinks fixed my issue. My 2 characters are now showing local customizations again.

Even D&D Beyond fixed itself (making me think some cloud-based cache got reset). Now back to playing. 🙂

[torn crystal]

ah I'd just sat down to address your comment. Glad it fixed itself!

[torn crystal]

I have escalated this; I'm seeing it too

[torn crystal]

what's your question regarding this?

[serene swan]

thank you! i would like to know how they are making minotaur from born as well

[gray kite]

Earlier I was posting about how I purchased the Grim Hollow Player Guide and they've charged me for it but I cant access it, I figured it was a maintenance issue so I went to sleep and saw everyone was having problems with something. Im half asleep and just posting the message customer support sent me

[uneven lantern]

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

What happens when you try to access it, specifically?

[quick raven]

One of my parties just defeated a minotaur in Heroes of the Borderlands. I opened the book page to get them their loot and saw "making minotaur from born" and realized they might not be out of danger yet! /joke

[gray kite]

Just the player pack is

[uneven lantern]

That would be why you can't access it, then.

[gray kite]

And when I try to access it I get this message

[uneven lantern]

You purchased it in the Android app, then?

[twilit quarry]

wand of web (lol?) i haven't reloaded the page but this is visible at the top of the dnd beyond website XD

[twilit quarry]

yea it's just there... at the top of the web page XD

[marble rune]

Still have one character and the associated party inventory not restored for customizations. It was the character i first opened after the site returned.

[gray kite]

Yeah I just got it from my phone but they took the money and I have the reciept

[uneven lantern]

I'd reply to that message, then. Let them know they've misunderstood the issue, and explain again that the book you purchased in the Android app does not correctly appear in your Current Product Licenses, preventing access. Make sure to include the order number from your Google Play receipt. It should start with an A, followed by a bunch of numbers.

[gray kite]

I sent them screenshots of everything in my initial message and explained the problem and that was the response. I dunno, I feel like ive been very thorough with them 😅

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I know. 😅

They can get it fixed, though, if you point out that your issue wasn't resolved.

They'll definitely need that order number to do so, though.

[gray kite]

I did, I guess its just a waiting game now

[real path]

whatever this is lol

[quick raven]

I've had "home" and now this (I know no one by that name or handle)

[idle arch]

Clearing your browser data seemed to fix it for me

[torn crystal]

those of you who've reported this, what pages are you seeing it on?

[real path]

my profile page

[idle arch]

I saw it on Classes, Magic Items, and Spells before I corrected it

[torn crystal]

should be fixed now

[quick raven]

I'm not seeing it anymore either. I was seeing it above any book I opened before that though.

[lusty void]

How come for my primal beast there is no attack roll? I know I add my spell attack modifier, but it doesn't let me roll to attack.

[idle arch]

It looks like thats a custom action you made. Can you show us the customize pannel?

[idle arch]

Ok, so I tried making my own beast master ranger as a test and I see now that it does this automatically. I guess that D&D Beyond just doesn't recognize this as an attack. It must be something else in their back end. There's nothing to do to change that. If you want a button to roll for it, you'll need to make your own custom action

[dire blade]

Totally! I'd be happy to look at it. I did very limited setup here on my tester character which looks like this so it should just work out of the box:

[keen topaz]

Hey guys, trying to get a custom action to work with an arbitrary modifier to hit

Just curious if theres a way I can do that?

Seems like no matter what I do it has to tie a modifier to my stats

Also slight bug, for the champion subclass of fighter, its not tracking rolled 19s as crits

Anyway I can fix it?

[keen topaz]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/d-d-beyond-feedback/123638-please-add-to-hit-modifier-to-custom-actions?srsltid=AfmBOopU0oAdaGNumLmnRQUit0dc5JUiumqEj9kqRQiFKqPzpyluU8sF

I found this post from 2021

Is this just still not in the engine?

[heavy nest]

The dice roller is generic for all and only does crits automatically on a 20. You can use the right click on the damage dice to roll crit damage.

[keen topaz]

Ok why, why not have it account for feats? It seems like a VERY easy thing to code

Or rather why doesnt it account for feats?

[dire blade]

The physical dice rolling system was programmed a long time ago before WOTC owned DNDB and is a bit of a black box, I imagine. That said, the request has been made before and they're aware of the desire for it to work.

[keen topaz]

The desire for that to work has been noted since 2017

Not trying to be rude but is it really really that crazy?

It cannot be this difficult

[dire blade]

• It's all about priorities in software development.
• No one here can know how difficult it is.

[dense viper]

No one here is a dev for DnD Beyond.
And while it may seem easy. That easy code could very well break something else that isn't easy to fix

[dire blade]

The dice roller could be programmed in Fortran for all we know.

[keen topaz]

Hopefully they fix it 🙂

Any follow up on custom actions using custom modifiers?

If not, I will be moving forwards a spreadsheet and doing it myself in 5 minutes flat

[dense viper]

Give me some time and I'll look into it on my computer but idk if its possible or not

[keen topaz]

Thank you

[dire blade]

I recommend adding a placeholder weapon to your inventory, equipping it, and modifying the to hit and damage bonuses directly there.

Alternatively, homebrew your subclass or add a homebrewed feat to create the action for you.

[keen topaz]

Ok thank you

[radiant igloo]

Guys I am making a berserker with ogre gauntlet , but when I equip it , i doesn't show my str stat 19

Do I need to override score manually

[uneven lantern]

You shouldn't need to, no.

Did you attune to it?

Do you already have a STR override set?

[fading bramble]

Did you attune to it as well?

[radiant igloo]

Oh i forgot my bad , thanks guys

Btw can u suggest me something

Should I choose vorpal greatsword or +3 greataxe(got cleave so I can get 3 attacks when more enemies)

[fading bramble]

#optimization might be a better channel for it
-# (i vote Vorpal though)

[keen topaz]

Any updates?

[keen topaz]

Also, for anyone who needs custom crit thresholds to work and or just doesnt want to deal with dndbeyond, us the dicely app, about 5$ but it seems decent enough, has collections you can save and will allow you to set custom crit thresholds ect

Or find any other free solution, like a spreedsheet/whatever

#server-announcements message

Sadly this hasn´t worked for me
I am Part of a Guild-like System where we have 4 Campaigns with over 30+ Characters
Gold we had in Bag of holdings, pouches or other things is still gone as well as some other customisation

The weird thing is that on mobile some of the characters still have everything, but not on PC

*Edit: some customisation is back, but not the gold we put in storage, we only have the gold that we wear on person.

[dire blade]

I just double checked and our Party Inventory gold is as it was pre-maintenance, so that doesn't appear to be universal.

[warm cosmos]

The weirdest thing is that on pc its gone for everyone but on mobile some (for me 1 out of 4) characters still have that gold

[wintry sand]

I still miss all my gold i had in a bag of Holding.
Sadly by more then just one Character

[buoyant elbow]

Quick question on homebrew items: if I create a common item (simple fur coat allowing the wearer to skip cold weather constitution checks) and my characters add it to their equipment, will the item convey to other games with other DMs that don’t have this item added to their collection?

[near ember]

Homebrew you own/make gets automatically shared whit every Campaign you are a part of.

[buoyant elbow]

Just confirming then that if I create a non-magical item in Homebrew magic items called “fur lined coat” or something similar, that any campaign they join (not just mine) the “fur lined coat” will follow them.

[near ember]

No for that they need to make it them self or own it by the homebrew library

[buoyant elbow]

Thank you. So my idea won’t work. THEY have to create the item.

[buoyant elbow]

It was my intention to publicly share the item. Does this change your answer? I’ve created a bunch of Homebrew creatures and shared them publicly.

[near ember]

Yes, If they add the item to there libary they can use it anywhere (but they need a subscription to do that)

[buoyant elbow]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[near ember]

No problem

[marble rune]

Im noticing all coins in separate pouches have been cleared to 0... inventory is completely hosed. We have no idea how much treasure was there.

[marble rune]

it seems to only be if you have the setting for coins in separate containers... the main coin on equipment isnt affected

[rose shell]

Can confirm. Every Character with "Put Coins in Containers" on is now completely robbed. So glad I exported mine to foundry before the maintenance.

[warm cosmos]

Everything except the carried Gold to 0

[warm cosmos]

Bag of Holdings and other stuff are affected
If someone plays with coinweight on it´s easier to store them somewhere else

[dapper gazelle]

Should be clarified as I thought you were asking something different and if I was right, you got a slightly inaccurate answer.

It is correct that going to other tables they would not be able to add it to their character sheet. However, anything they put on their sheets while still in your game will carryover and stay on their sheets for anyone else's game.

Assuming unpublished above. If you publish, they could then have access, but, they would then need to have access to public homebrew which iirc requires a paid sub to DDB. They don't have to have a sub to access private homebrew with someone in your own campaign.

I personally share my homebrew with my players and they take it to other tables all the time and it works just fine.

[marble rune]

the more important thing -- what is wotc and the ddb staff doing about it? -- this is data integrity on a service we pay for... at min give me a free year if you cant repair my lost data

[dapper gazelle]

If only that were the minimum, it would be really cool, but I would not get my hopes too high for that. I just don't see them seeing missing gold as a big enough problem to credit a free year.

-# from an economic standpoint I would not want them to either. The result would likely be an even higher annual cost for the service so they can cover the extra expense. Lesser of two evils right now is less compensation and deal with annoyance.

[rose shell]

I share the opinion about data integrity, but demanding a year of free subscription? What world do you live in? If they gave a year out for every stupid bug they produce, they could shut down the servers and go back to hardcopies only like it's the 1980's again.

I'd rather be interested in knowing how this data got lost and why there is no backup / lacking quality control.

[warm cosmos]

They somehow managed to bring back the customisation
(for example my Warlock has an Opossum Familiar that alsways carries 5 Gold, The Opossum was a rewritten Bucket in the inventory. Now its Names Opossum again but the 5 Gold is still lost.....and like much more gold in bag of holdings and other stuff) can´t they reload the settings for the gold too?

[proven fiber]

Hey there I own the DMG 24 and I can‘t add certain items to my character. Sword of Vegenance, Tome of the Stilled Tongue, and Saddle of the Cavalier. Pretty mich every other item of the dmg24 is available for my character to add as an item. Is that intentional?

[near ember]

Try looking for vengeance for the sword stilled for the tome And saddle for the saddle instead of the complete name. They are showing up for me

[proven fiber]

even without the searchbar and just looking for the items in the list, I can‘t find them.

[uneven lantern]

If you check this page, is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?

Are you able to view the items outside of the character sheet, like this one?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/5409-tome-of-the-stilled-tongue

[proven fiber]

a bit of both

[dire blade]

FYI @torn crystal it looks like we have a few reports of missing gold with this configuration. Maybe the team should take a look!

[torn crystal]

hiiii, yes! the mods let me know there were still issues. I just got to my desk, but will pass this along as well 🙂

[proven fiber]

I can‘t see the item when I want to look at it when I search for it online. But in the app I can look at the item without problems. I don‘t own the DMG14 though.

[storm fable]

put me down as another instance of missing gold from containers.

[torn crystal]

Can you send me a character sheet link for one of your characters for whom gold is missing? will help the team greatly 🙏🏾

[storm fable]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/9270387 There should be gold in two containers, the
Vault (Lif's at Trollskull Manor), and Tome's Bandoleer Coin Dispenser.

[torn crystal]

Thank you! I escalated this, and it will be investigated 🙂

[novel aspen]

Hi! I'm a DM for neurodivergent kids, and we use D&DBeyond as a way to have our character sheets. I have all of their sheets set to public, but when I send them the links to their character sheets (using the shareable link), they get the header of D&DBeyond, but their character sheets don't load. Instead, they just have a white screen. This has become a consistent problem for me, and it makes it harder for me to do my job and get my kids to make rolls! What's wrong, and how do I fix it across the country/world?

[dapper gazelle]

Two questions...

1. Can you share a link to the character so we can review? You would need to set the privacy to public, even if just temporarily.

2. Did you buy the digital version of DMG24? If you bought only the paper copy or bought it on another platform, it may be missing because those other purchases don't grant digital rights to the DMG on Beyond.

Also, note that being able to view it outside of the character creator could be a result of having it shared with you. To see it in the character creator, you either have to own it or that specific character has to be in the campaign with the person who is sharing it with you and sharing has to be turned on for that campaign by a master sub.

[remote sinew]

which section of the disorc or forum does homebrew items? im trying to make a amulet that just gives +1 to the save against spells but having trouble as it doesnt seem to be an option

[dapper gazelle]

Help with coding it on D&D Beyond would be done here in #ddb-support. Discussing the homebrew and its details of how it works is the realm of #homebrew.

[dense viper]

That would either be here or #homebrew but since you only want a +1 to saves against spells that would more be something you just write on the sheet. Since you could code it in but there isnt anyway to tell ddb when you are rolling to save vs a spell and when you arent

[dapper gazelle]

-# unlike some previous editions, there is no specific save for save vs. spells and DDB has no way of knowing what is going on at the table and thus cannot know you are saving vs. a spell. And thus, the answer above that it would end up on the sheet as text that was given above.

[remote sinew]

cheers, i've just made the item and put it in the description

[proven fiber]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/158955687 I bought the digital version

[uneven lantern]

This is a known bug at the moment that happens when viewing a public character sheet without an account (or while not signed in).

If they create an account or sign in, they should be able to view it.

[dapper gazelle]

On your Home tab of the character, do you have Core Rules ticked?

[uneven lantern]

Sorry, I missed a link earlier. Can you just verify that the book is listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

Aside from that, it does look like you've got everything set up correctly.

So if it is there and you're still not seeing those items, then you may need to contact customer support.

[dapper gazelle]

I agree with the above. Unless it is a platform specific issue, I find myself unable to replicate so something else could be interfering.

Longshot but could you check whether you added the 2014 Wizard instead of the 2024 Wizard? Theoretically, it should not matter but people have been asking for them to not mix as much for 2014 players and maybe it is only looking for a 2014 DMG.

[proven fiber]

some others had the same issue with those items

and @dire blade the issue with public character sheets not uh... being publicly visible... is now fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for raising it to my attention.

[dull fox]

i appreciate the help!

[vernal fractal]

This was fixed moments ago. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[coral raptor]

If I have purchased a digital book but want to get a bundle that includes the same digital version, do they offer credits for the prior purchase?

[dire blade]

The Marketplace does not, but you could potentially reach out to customer support about it if they have any special recommendations.

[glossy ledge]

again with same Maps issue, I can not access tokens that I used to (shared with me by another player in the campaign) we both have active master tiers

[dire blade]

I cannot reproduce the issue, so I'm curious what's different about your case.

• Is content sharing enabled for the campaign?
• Can you access the content on the book itself?
• Which book and creature is this, specifically?

[glossy ledge]

multiple

different ones

the thing is I already used them, but its very dificult to tell from what books they come from

was there a glitch that allowed me to use other tokens? or I had something shared with me that stoped?

[novel aspen]

Thank you! I have some more sessions today with my kids, I'll reply to you again if it's still happening!

[glossy ledge]

so this token seems to be from Storm KingsThunder

that I have shared with me

and I used in the past

and I can access in encouter builder

and I can acess in encouter builder

but not anymore in maps

what gives?

[dire blade]

I just tested this exact situation and it works for me, so something is definitely weird for your case that I can't figure out. Can you access this page: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/skt/special-npcs#AugrekBrighthelm

[glossy ledge]

yeap

[dire blade]

Okay, something is definitely up with your particular access here. You should be able to use those tokens since the creatures are shared with you and you can access that content everywhere but in Maps. This is probably something that you need to open a customer support ticket for since it seems to only be applying to you.

[uneven lantern]

Which campaign is sharing it? Did you select that same campaign when you started Maps?

[glossy ledge]

does that matter?

[dire blade]

It actually doesn't. I have things shared with me via campaign A which I can use in campaign B without that same player.

[glossy ledge]

I am part of muliple campaigns

[dire blade]

The behavior I experience is "if I can open the page the creature is on, I can use it in Maps."

[glossy ledge]

And for sure I had more tokens available, that I dont curently have

I dont get what the whole thing is to locking away some pictures

all tokens shuould just me accesible to everyone using Maps

its not like I can not add it as homebrew

what a waiste of time

[dire blade]

That is feedback you can share in #ddb-feedback if you like, but I'll just say that there's a whole lot more accessible in a token than some pictures since you can run encounters from the tool. It's a careful balance, because homebrew is necessary for people to even consider using the platform while they also are fully entitled to the digital rights management of releases. Plus, if such digital rights management didn't exist on DNDB, no 3rd party publisher would publish on it either.

[glossy ledge]

I get that, I dont need the encounter I just use the tokens and rename it

obviously the stat block of a random npc is not going to work againts all parties

[dense viper]

But it is supposed to matter. So that may be a source of the problem

[glossy ledge]

And I already had access to all that stuff, just giving features and then removing them is very frustrating

I can not add one more bandit now, because I dont have the token

so weird

[dire blade]

Are you sure? Because that logic doesn't make sense to me. If the DM can open the content in the book, they should have access to it in Maps.

And that is currently how it behaves for me.

[glossy ledge]

yeah enjoy it while it lasts...

prep for the next year, lol

[dense viper]

It just makes sense to work that way sense it works that way for character creation.

[dire blade]

I might have agreed with you if the Encounter Builder didn't work the way I described for literal years.

[dense viper]

Counter point to this.

The encounter builder isn't tied to any particular Campaign ID like the maps tool is.

-# This will be my last message on this as I feel im getting to far off topic.

[zealous patio]

It's been a while and I kept forgetting to message about this. Seems there's no default way to roll attacks and checks from the extras tab - the small narrow character sheet on the side just doesn't have any clickable rolls buttons unfortunately.

[tranquil prawn]

how do i get my dnd beyond username changed?

[dire blade]

Post in this thread to make the request: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/65846-display-name-change-request-thread-v2

[vernal fractal]

Not sure if it's been communicated, but an issue was reported today where currency stored in containers is missing after the maintenance window on Monday. We have identified a fix and plan to have the issue resolved by the end of the week or early next week.

If anyone sees someone asking about this issue, you can link them to this post.

[dapper gazelle]

Right. I keep forgetting we play heavier on Roll20 and plugins can take care of making those things rollable through DDB in to R20. Ah well, yeah, not rollable from there then.

[cinder axle]

anyway to actually become the beast i wildshape into so its stats reflect on my sheet?

[dapper gazelle]

I do not believe so. The closest I have come is to just pull up the monster statblock and just make the modifications of what is allowed by Wildshape on the fly. But it's a feature a number of us wouldn't mind having as a QoL feature. If it's something you would like to see, you could always request it in #ddb-feedback . There's no guarantees they'll build it, but at least they would expect feature requests there.

[fair quail]

How do I add more attacks/attack dies to a magical weapon and how do I change its existing attack die. It's an attuned spear rn

[clever gyro]

Hey, the subclass tab won’t appear when making a 2014 character, even at level 20. What’s wrong?

[near ember]

What class are you using
And are these boxes turned onn

[clever gyro]

Yes, I have those books too. Playing Cleric

[clever gyro]

I’m seeing the ability score improvements and all, but no subclass tab

[near ember]

Try looking at divine domain in your class features

[dapper gazelle]

Can you send a screenshot of what you are seeing?

[clever gyro]

Found it. But I have the books, why is only Life Domain showing for me?

[clever gyro]

Nvm I found it, but I don’t see any other subclasses except for life domain.

[dapper gazelle]

You probably picked a 2024 base class.

[clever gyro]

Nope.

I’m looking at it, it’s the 2014 one

That’s the 2014 symbol is it not?

I have all the 2014 and other books, owned and downloaded

And yet only Life Domain is showing

[near ember]

Can you check what books are in licenses
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[clever gyro]

Uhm???
All I see is just the subscription service

[near ember]

Try scrolling down

[clever gyro]

I was shared the books

Does that mean I can’t even use the books shared with me???

[dapper gazelle]

Shared books can only be used if this specific character is in the campaign with the person sharing.

[clever gyro]

So they’re useless to me.
My brother shared me books by joining my campaign, does that mean I can only use them if my character is IN the campaign he joined?

[dapper gazelle]

Yes. But you can join the campaign with this character too.

[clever gyro]

Welp

Don’t we love D&D Beyond

Guess I’m buying the books

It’s even worse because idk how to track on paper.
Well thx for the help

[near ember]

You don't need to if someone is sharing them (you can have anny number of your characters in a champagne)

[dapper gazelle]

You could but as I said, you can have multiple characters in the campaign belonging to you so unless you are fighting with your brother, you should not need to duplicate book purchases.

[clever gyro]

Yeah but also I do prefer new cleric…so I gotta get 2024 PhB anyway and I have a 2024 Cleric in another campaign so I can’t redo my entire character

Thanks guys

[fair quail]

Ok nevermind what I asked earlier I realized there was no homebrew for that

But I am facing a different issue now

I put a modifier for Damage - Melee Weapon Attacks with a fixed value of 2 righf

It's fine until I attune the weapon

After I attune the weapon the To Hit die jumps from +7 to +14

And the damage bonus just voids too

For some reason it just gets converted into the ability check

This is so stupid man

[dire blade]

You can create the character IN that campaign and then leave that campaign as a workaround.

[dire blade]

I'm not sure what that modifier you tried actually does, but the modifier you want is:

Bonus > Magic > Fixed Number = 2

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[dry geyser]

Hey
So I know that a lvl one wizard is supposed to know 3 cantrips, and 6 lvl 1 spells. But I made a wizard on ddb and it's only giving me 2 cantrips and 1 spell
What's going on here?

[torn crystal]

1. Do the existing cantrips/spells you have come from your species choice?
2. Have you chosen your cantrips and spells from the Manage Spells menu on your sheet?

[stone halo]

I had asked this question about at least a good 6+ months ago and I just want to see if there's any been development since. But has there been any form of progress towards the possibility of Homebrew classes (not subclasses) potentially being a thing on the website yet or is that still an active development?

[torn crystal]

no progress yet, but it's something we know people want. I recommend reading through the AMA DDB's executive producer did last month. It answers a lot of questions about why homebrew is the way it is and what we plan to do to address it down the line 🙂

[stone halo]

Alright, thank you very much for the straightforward answer!

[torn crystal]

sure thing 🙂

[dapper gazelle]

So, what you are probably seeing is spells that you got from something other than being a Wizard or from your subclass or is somehow auto prepared from something else. To see other spells, you have to prepare them and to prepare them, you have to first put them in your spellbook and then select them to Prepare them. You need to click Manage Spells from your Spells page of your character to do this.

[dry geyser]

I chose the spells in class features

[dry geyser]

I chose the spells in class features

[dapper gazelle]

You cannot choose your Wizard spells that are in your Spellbook from there and that iss what those numbers you quoted are referring to. What you chose in class features is spells that are auto prepared and come from other sources.

[dry geyser]

What about the cantrips?

[dapper gazelle]

Cantrips are also chosen there. I think the features section used to allow you to pick your level 1 spells but for leveling up, you need to use Manage Spells.

[dry geyser]

Got it now thx

[tranquil egret]

Hello! Im new here and was wondering if there were any guides regarding making homebrew content? Ive tried in the past for a homebrew race as well as recently for a homebrew subclass and I just cant get anything to actually work.

[uneven lantern]

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

But generally speaking, I've found the best way to learn is to make homebrew copies of the official content to see how it was set up.

[tranquil egret]

Interesting. Ill have to try that. Ive recently been stuck on making an action that when used puts out an electric discharge around the player, but its not an attack or spell. When trying to set it up, it wouldnt roll damage despite having assigned damage values in the modifiers and actions, and even tried assigning it as a ranged attack and it still wouldnt roll for damage on dndbeyond

[dense viper]

Sounds like you are trying to make something silimar to the dragonborns breath weapon. So if might help you by making a homebrew copy of that species to see how it was done

[vernal fractal]

The issue you reported (the "hide monsters not in the DM's library" filter not working) should now be fixed. Sorry for the inconvenience!

[vernal fractal]

See ^^^ message. The filtering issue should now be fixed.

Unrelated: @dire blade @untold locust @flat wind @rugged topaz we just shipped Part 2 of our fix for companion support in Maps.

As a reminder, you'll need to remove and re-add the token to the Map for it to work.

If you try to look right away, you may also have to update your character somehow - like just changing your current hit points or something - to force it to update the cache. Otherwise, that will happen organically over the next few days.

[flat wind]

You’re the man!! Thanks so much!!!

[vernal fractal]

Note: you won't be able to update your companion's HP from Maps. This only reads from the object on your character sheet, we can't write to it. (For reasons why, please see: the ginormous game data/game engine legacy modernization project happening we've talked about in a few places)

[stray ingot]

I was told in another thread that this information is not defined (or named?) correctly. I see this is a fighting style feat for 2024 rules, but this is on my character sheet without that feat included.

[dense viper]

All character can dual wired without taking the feat. The feat just makes drawing weapons faster and also allows you to add your ability modifier to your off hand attack

[dapper gazelle]

What you show here is what the rules call the Light property.

DDB is confusing because it is listing a name that isn't in rules.

Two Weapon Fighting as a name is only a feat in the rules.

Source: 2024 PH.

[uneven lantern]

It’s the 2014 name for the same rule.

[stray ingot]

I get what you both are saying, but I have built characters exclusively with 2024 rules applied, and giving the same name to both this feat and this “bonus action in combat” is very confusing and led to a whole discussion in that other thread from misunderstanding created by this issue. I didn’t realize two weapon fighting was a feat aside from the default bonus action from holding light weapons. This is at the very least a UI oversight and should be considered for review in the Errata or something. Just my two cents.

This should probably go in the feedback thread but when I made my initial post, I wasn’t sure if this was more of a support issue, so my b.

[dapper gazelle]

I think they meant well. Two Weapon Fighting does explain what it is better than if they wrote Light property. It just creates interesting problems as people who don't know the RAW start associating this text more generally when someone operates with two weapons and it is really a specific thing. At the same time, I know DDB coders have a lot on their plate but this one is one of my personal sticking points.

[dry geyser]

So character idea I've had for a bit now. A rogue that at the end of his story is using a schimitar and a pistol
Only thing is, as far as I can tell if I want that to work he's gonna need the weapon mastery feat so that he can use the pistol (should be a finesse weapon in my opinion but whatever), the dual welding feat so that he can use the schimitar and the pistol, and the sharpshooter feat so that the pistol is worth using. That only leaves 2 other feats for me to pick.
The question is, is it worth it?

This is the wrong server

[dire blade]

Yes, this belongs in #character-discussion

[fair quail]

Anyone know why I can't cast this

Or even roll for damage

[uneven lantern]

The spell was set to require a charge to cast. Since you don't have any available charges, you're therefore unable to cast it.

And the damage likely wasn't set up correctly.

Did you create this yourself? If not, you'll likely have to speak with its creator to get it fixed.

[ancient zephyr]

Hey y'all i am trying to make a Magic Initiate (Bard) feat in the format of the 2024 ones. meaning i can choose the modifier used for the spells. Any help will be great as it is not working as of now. i am not being given the right options anywhere and when i try to use one of the other MI feats from 2024 as a template nothing is carrying over

[uneven lantern]

That’s beyond the power of us mortals, I’m afraid.

[ancient zephyr]

that is very disappointing. I feel the homebrew system has gone down hill in the past few years

[hybrid nova]

It's mostly the same as it's always been. It hasn't gotten worse, WotC has just added more things it can't do without custom backend work. Apparently the big backend update they're working on may address this kind of thing.

[lime gyro]

Hello. Relatively new here. I'm DMing a new campaign and was wondering if someone could help me with a homebrewed magical item. I'm having a tough time creating it on DND Beyond and think that the fields I'm looking for may not exist. I may have gotten too creative with the weapon

[dense viper]

What does the weapon do? We cant tell you if you can accomplish what you are trying to do without that information

[lime gyro]

It's a +1 Greatsword as the base item. This is meant for a Goliath paladin in my party.

It's a sentient weapon. It grows in size with him. For each size over medium, it adds 5' reach to it and it gains the Cleave weapon mastery.

When he kills an Evil aligned creature, the blade stores a "Judgement" (fancy word for a charge). He can store 1 Judgement per proficiency point. When he hits an enemy, he can expend one Judgement to deal additional Radiant damage (his Charisma modifier in damage). When a Judgement is used, "Light" is cast centered on the blade.

[lime gyro]

If it will be easier to do, we can just change the +CHA modifier in damage to +1d8 Radiant damage

[uneven lantern]

When you create your weapon, you can start by selecting a +1 Greatsword to use as a template. That'll give you an exact copy.

The changing size/reach isn't something you can automate on the character sheet.

I don't think it's actually possible to give it an additional mastery property either.

Honestly, it might work best to pair this with a homebrew feat.

You could use that to add an Action with the right number of charges that will display the right damage.

If you do decide to switch it to a roll, that Action could help with that, too.

I'd have the item itself add the Light spell, if desired.

[lime gyro]

That's pretty much what I came up with myself. I have it using Light as a charge and just manually set the charges for him. I think I'll just make him manually keep track of the Growth mechanic and the extra radiant damage

If it has two charges, when I'm adding Light as a spell, do I set Min charges to 1 and Max charges to 2? Or is that just for upcasting spells?

I've currently got the Min and Max charges at 1

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I'd just keep it at 1-1 for a cantrip.

[torn crystal]

for some reason when i share a link to a char sheet people i share it with say they cant view it even though i set it to be viewable

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/160030924/3hv3F6

[edgy oriole]

Yeah I believe that's a known issue that the devs are aware of.

[loud drift]

that link worked for me, do they have the same problem on a different device or with a different browser? Zac said that should have been fixed earlier this week

[verbal phoenix]

anyone looking for a new PC to join their campaign?

[loud drift]

you'll want to check in #looking-for-players

[near void]

I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times, but is there anyone who can walk me through troubleshooting why I can't see homebrew content? (The only homebrew I see is things made from my gm, and we have tried to figure it out together...)

[edgy oriole]

You can only access homebrew content that 1) you've made yourself or 2) is created by someone in your campaign unless you have an active subscription which unlocks the feature of being able to add others homebrew to your homebrew collection for use in your games.

Also make sure your character sheet is toggled to allow homebrew

(under manage character settings)

[near void]

I do have a subscription and homebrew is toggled on on my characters. The GM couldn't find a place in the game that said that.

[edgy oriole]

This page describes what a subscription unlocks: https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/subscribe

Huh. Actually now that I look at it, it isn't clear about homebrew.... I'll need to ask folks in the back about that.

[near void]

Yeah, just says monsters.

I have a hero tier

[edgy oriole]

Yeah and that's for Maps...

I'll ask in the back but from what you shared here, it sounds like you should be able to use homebrew items from outside your D&DBeyond campaign for your character...

You may need to contact Customer Service to see if they can figure out why you can't seem to use homebrew from outside your D&DBeyond campaign.

[edgy oriole]

^ Here's how to contact them - do note it may take a few days (or sometimes more depending on how much is in the queue and where you are in that queue) for them to get to your ticket.

[uneven lantern]

What are you trying to add specifically?

[near void]

A few things. 1. A spell from the public homebrew, Buried Alive. 2. A subclass I made.

[vernal fractal]

I can see your link. This was an issue but it was resolved earlier this week. Try a different browser? Might be a cache issue.

[uneven lantern]

Having them sign in or create an account might also solve it.

[uneven lantern]

Which class are you using for your character?

[near void]

The is a paladin, and a sorcerer. Neither work.

[uneven lantern]

Paladin or Paladin?

Sorcerer or Sorcerer?

[near void]

Ah. 2014

[uneven lantern]

So and ?

[near void]

yes

[uneven lantern]

Which icon does it show at the top of your subclass page?

[near void]

The one I created?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

[near void]

Ahhhhh

[uneven lantern]

So that’s why the subclass isn’t showing up.

[near void]

That makes sense.

[uneven lantern]

It was created for the 2024 Paladin, so it will only be available if your character is also a 2024 Paladin.

[near void]

is there a way to make it 2014? I used a template which is likely way it was 2024.

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not. You’d have to rebuild it from scratch. :/

[near void]

Sorry, I don't mean make this one 2024, but make it from scratch as 2014

[uneven lantern]

Right

I’d create a blank 2014 subclass, open it side-by-side with my 2024 one, and then just copy it over piece by piece.

[near void]

Ahhh, it seems I jsut had to scroll down further I think?

to get the legacy paladin

[uneven lantern]

Yeah 😅

Now on the spell page, there should be a section at the bottom that says “Available For”.

That’ll need to say “Paladin (Legacy)” or “Sorcerer (Legacy)” to work for your character.

If it just says “Paladin” or “Sorcerer”, those are the 2024 classes again.

[near void]

Ahhhhhhhh Thank you! Thats very helpful. Likely why none of it works

[orchid patio]

am i able to share the characters i made, or no?

[fading bramble]

You can, but not here. #character-discussion

[dapper gazelle]

-# I didn't notice that for subclasses either. Great pro tip as usual. 🙂

[echo osprey]

Hi, is there any update on this? Whenever we play, the HP updates still are not reaching the Maps VTT or Encounters.

[vernal fractal]

Android or iOS?

[echo osprey]

Both. We have a mix of phones. 2 Ios and 2 android actually.

[vernal fractal]

I passed this to our mobile team to investigate.

[glass latch]

Anyone had an issue on mobile where after swapping to the fog of war tool the map panning stops working? This is on Chrome on an Android tablet.

[tough haven]

Anyone know why my dndbeyond homebrew tokens are blurry?

[edgy oriole]

What file format are you using and what's the dimensions of the source file?

If it's JPEG format, it's likely JPEG compression

[tough haven]

I've tried png and jpeg, also tried pixel counts from 256/256 to 1000/1000

[edgy oriole]

Uh no need for images with that high pixel density

[tough haven]

Yea it was just for testing

[edgy oriole]

I'd suggest trying a PNG at 96 or 150 pixels per inch at most and use the dimensions noted in the Small Avatar which is, minimum, 128x128 pixels. Do note that updates can take up to 15 minutes to work their way through the D&DBeyond systems and caching.

[tough haven]

Aight thank you i will try and see how it works!

[edgy oriole]

You could potentially bump the image up to 1000x1000 pixels but I think that seems a bit much. I wouldn't really go over 800x800 at most.

[tough haven]

Sadly didnt work

I tried using a random image from google as well just for testing and thats blurry too

Maybe its dndbeyond issue

[edgy oriole]

Did you give it 10-15 minutes?

You might still be seeing the older cached images

[tough haven]

Maybe but one of my players image worked immidietly, its a player token tho and not a homebrew creature

[edgy oriole]

Homebrew for sure takes a while to update due to caching

[tough haven]

Here is the difference

[edgy oriole]

I see

[tough haven]

There is also that weird line everytime i try a homebrew crewture, u see it at the middle stretching right

[edgy oriole]

And that's not on the source image? And doesn't happen with other images (possibly indicating GPU drivers need updating)?

[tough haven]

Correct the source has no line

Like this

[edgy oriole]

Yeah okay. Can you please send your reproducible steps and findings to #ddb-maps-vtt where Zac, the project manager for Maps can look at it?

Thanks for reporting this!

[tough haven]

Thanks alot for all the help man!

[edgy oriole]

Wish we could have found a working solution but it does look like there may be something here the Maps team will need to look at.

[dapper gazelle]

Is the issue only on a phone or maybe a device with limited performance or a lower bandwidth internet connection?

I can get blurriness in a number of programs when a device is trying to keep up with graphical processing requirements or limited bandwidth. Have you tried the reverse? I.e.,reducing the resolution yourself? Depending on how they are handling higher resolutions, some processing load may be being passed on to your device and/or it might be trying to pass the whole image to you even though you just need the smaller version?

Similarly, is your map large? In earlier days of Roll20 (I know, not Roll20 here), large maps with a lot going on would cause Roll20 to be laggy and/or have rendering issues.

Also, no joke on this caching thing. DDB is liberal with caching a lot and a number of problems can appear to be not fixed due to stale info in the cache.

[tough haven]

I've tested the things you're suggesting and sadly no good, the issue is on a high performance pc with high bandwidth I've updated my gpu drivers just in case something was being messed up there and now im waiting for the caching to do its thing to see if it improved or not

Thing is that the tokens where fine from homebrew just 2+ months ago and im not doing anything different

[dapper gazelle]

Interesting. OK, I guess it does need to be a maps team problem. Best of luck!

[tough haven]

Thank you thank you!

[uneven lantern]

Have you tried viewing the same token in another browser or on another device just to compare?

[tough haven]

I have not tried another browser let me have a look!

[dapper gazelle]

-# if it is browser, I wonder if it is something like hardware acceleration toggled in the browser.

[tough haven]

Okay so it doesnt work on another browser, however it actually does work on the older vtt

Above vtt

It appears you are asking about a third party extension/app/bot. D&D Beyond does not support third party extensions and this channel is not the appropriate place to ask for such support. The only supported connectivity to third parties is Discord via the Avrae app.

If your issue persists, we recommend disabling the extension/app/bot and/or contacting the developer.

[tough haven]

Just not Maps

[hoary geode]

Any chance of spell points over spell slots for dnd beyond?

[dapper gazelle]

Anything is possible. You can suggest it in #ddb-feedback . However, as they are moving towards more 2024 support and tend to stick to things in the books, they may not want to revisit something that I think is only in the 2014 books.

[cunning kernel]

I have a problem it won’t let me add my homebrew monk subclass

[edgy oriole]

Is the subclass built for 2014 or 2024 monks?

Make sure you're using the right core monk class (2014 or 2024 version) for the subclass

A 2014 subclass will not work with a 2024 core class (and vice versa)

[crude venture]

Visually impaired DND beyond user and DM, wondering how to remove encounters and would appreciate any tips for encounter creation

[lunar onyx]

I recently created a human bard on the app and it gave a human bonus of 1 to the abilities Dex, Int, and Char. I can't find anywhere in the core rules for why this is. Anyone know?

[bronze relic]

Weird technical question: It looks to me from the JSON 'isCommunity' flag on the DDB web page for the Psychic Gray Ooze ((which is showing True) that this creature was input by a Community Content Creator, rather than ingested by Wizards (official creatures flags read False). Anyone know how that came about, might come about, or if I'm mistaken? Thanks.

[dapper gazelle]

In 2024 rules, stat bonuses were no longer derived from the chosen species but they now come from the background. Your chosen background would have defined that your 3 possible stats are Dex Int & Cha and the rules give you the choice of either a +2/+1 in 2 of those stats or +1 in all 3 of those stats. The latter sounds like what happened here.

As an example, this is a screenshot of the Background page for a Wayfarer on one of my characters. I opted for +2/+1 but it helps to see the process.

[loud drift]

it's possible those tags are either ignored or mean something else because it shows up in the monster list when filtering to leave out non-wotc monsters and homebrew would likely only show up on that list if the user doing the searching had it in their collection.

[dapper gazelle]

As to where this is in the rules, refer to this page in the Basic Rules: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/character-origins#PartsofaBackground
Specifically,

Ability Scores. A background lists three of your character’s ability scores. Increase one by 2 and another one by 1, or increase all three by 1. None of these increases can raise a score above 20.

[cunning kernel]

I’m using it correct but I’ll double check

[dapper gazelle]

One easy way to check is to check which class you are using (2014 or 2024) and then go in to your Homebrew Creations page and look at the area I have highlighted here. The Symbol will differ depending on whether the class is built for 2014 or 2024.

On your class page of the character editor, this same symbol should appear here. As both of my symbols match, I have created the subclass with the correct version of the rules.

[raw girder]

hey all, suddenly unable to invoke the bladesong on my character sheet. Have tried it on mobile safari and pc edge - it was there a few hours ago but now isnt?

[dapper gazelle]

According to my sheet, it's in the "Expanded Rules" (see pic). Do you have that ticked on your Homepage?

Similarly, if you don't own the content yourself, is this specific character still in the campaign where it is being shared with you? While I don't know for sure if this matters, Beyond may be tying this option to still having the share be available to you.

[raw girder]

Yeah that's all how itshould be, the option was literally there when we started the session and i took it off when combat finished etc. Haven't changed character since and both myself and DM own the content

[dapper gazelle]

Sorry, I should have clarified. I was testing on a 2024 Bladesinger (from the Heroes of Faerun book). Are you using the 2014 one or the 2024 one?

[raw girder]

2024 🙂

[dapper gazelle]

Hrm. Working for me on both Firefox on PC through the site and the App on Android. So cannot seem to personally replicate.

& I don't think there is much in Dyno's "missing content" post that we have not just checked. (I can send it for you if you want to verify those items yourself anyway.)

So, I have to duck out on this one. I hope someone else can help!

[loud drift]

Double check that expanded rules didn't accidentally get turned off on the character and you might also try disabling any browser extensions

[raw girder]

fixed it - simply changed my subclass choice and then changed back to bladesinger and it's there. All I had to do again was re-select a proficiency

very odd but it obviously jiggled it

appreciate all your help 🙂

[lunar onyx]

I made a custom background which didn't give me the option to set ability scores, but I do see it as human trait.

it says Ability Score Increases * PHB 2024

[dapper gazelle]

Can you send a pic of what you're seeing? I cannot seem to line it up with something to replicate.

Some of the complication is it does not line up with either the 2014 Human, the 2014 Variant Human, or the 2024 Human, in that:

• 2014 Human gave +1 to all stats (you have 3, not 6)
• 2014 Variant Human gave +1 to only two stats (you have 3, not 2)
• 2024 Human gives no bonuses to stats (you seem to be indicating 3, but the background could give 3 as you indicated)

So, there has to be a variable here that we're not accounting for because what you're reporting doesn't seem to be possible in the rules.

[loud drift]

Additionally could you link to the character sheet and make sure it's set to be publicly visible?

[uneven lantern]

Every character gets a starting ASI, either from their species or their background.

If you choose a species and background where neither provides an ASI, it will add one for you.

[copper crest]

Is there a good way to create a homebrew rapier dealing 2d4 poison damage as a magic item? It also has charges for an effect, but I know how to do that one. I can't really find a way to create a specific attack (like you can do in the character sheet directly).
Is there some other weapon with 2d4 base damage and finesse I could use?

[loud drift]

There's not a weapon that does 2d4 damage nor a way to change the damage dice for a weapon. Traditionally a weapon that does poison damage would be doing it as a bonus on top of the base damage, with a con save to avoid the poisoned condition

[copper crest]

There is at least the double bladed scimitar (and a lot of official homebrew weapons content that can be used as a base, including 2d4 ranged weapons).
I was kinda hoping for the ability to create my own attack, but at this point I would be happy if anyone could point me to an implemented melee weapon with 2d4 damage and finesse '^^
Or did they implement a way to add bonus damage to weapon attacks (like +1d4 to a dagger) that can be rolled as part of the attack?

[copper crest]

Found a way: I just added and removed weapon properties until the double bladed scimitar fit the mold and changed the damage type. I didn't know all that was possible, it seems like they opened the builder up alot :D

[dapper gazelle]

There have been a lot of requests though places like #ddb-feedback and some bugs that are being fixed that were reported here. Slowly but surely, we're getting a better product. 🙂

[celest mulch]

I'm viewing the flash sale on DNDB for the Curse of Strahd, which is "compatible with the new rule books." Does that mean that it's 5.5e updated? Or is it 5e? Will I be updating monsters and NPCs if I don't have the new Monster Manual?

[dapper gazelle]

I am not sure if DDB ever explained what they mean by that statement but at least on the updated thing, I am yet to see an originally 2014 adventure book updated for 2024.
-# there might be one but I haven't seen it

[celest mulch]

The pictures of the contents don't really help either. Like a monster stat block would be helpful to identify what I'm buying.

[uneven lantern]

Curse of Strahd has not been changed.

It’s the same book it was before.

[near ember]

Is there a way to see all the Wizard spells that are not on the druid spell list?

[twin oak]

what is the stat roll link?

anyone knows?

[loud drift]

No you can only filter to all spells that belong to a class, but not spells that are exclusive to a class.

[loud drift]

What stat roll link?

[twin oak]

idk i joined a server and they asked me to post the name of my character and his stat roll link

and his sheet ofc

[loud drift]

you'll have to ask them to clarify

[twin oak]

i did but they didnt answer yet

[loud drift]

they may mean a link to the avrae response to !rollstats but otherwise DDB doesn't have a way to link to stat rolls if you rolled directly in the character builder

[twin oak]

yeah i did it ty

[hollow flame]

When creating a custom subclass on dnd beyond while using a preexisting race as a template, how can I make it so that a char can choose between two abilities on a level up when there is already a granted ability on that level (for example being able to choose between a new trait and draconic flight)?

[uneven lantern]

You'll need to use Options for that. Just set up each choice as its own Option, and inside add anything that depends on that choice.

[amber hazel]

Does anyone know the exact time on which Exploring Eberron becomes available in DnD Beyond?

[uneven lantern]

The release process will likely start around <t:1769526000:f>, but could take a few hours to complete.

There will be an announcement in #dnd-announcements once it's fully available.

[hollow flame]

Thank you very much : )

Yeah, I get the same on Firefox and Chrome.

[near ember]

It looks like you're blocking JavaScript on the page somehow. Maybe an add-on or something.

[near ember]

Hello friends

The "My Library" Visual bug should now be fixed. Please let me know if that is not the case.

[amber hazel]

Intro to Stormwreck Isle is showing up as shared despite me already owning it

Edit - It seems I had failed to claim it until now, so the issue is that it does not show the cart button to purchase it, likely due to costing 0.00$, despite me not owning it a few minutes ago when I made the post

Also, would be nice to have a way to filter by release date

As well as a way to filter out "Shared (not owned)"

[dire blade]

This issue is only a graphical issue and not an entitlement issue. It is acknowledged by the team here: #dnd-announcements message

[amber hazel]

??

[uneven lantern]

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

[dire blade]

If you own the book and it is still showing as Shared with Me, that's the same graphical issue described in my link above by the DND community manager under "My Library Display Bug." It's a known issue they intend to resolve as soon as they can.

[uneven lantern]

That was fixed this morning.

[dire blade]

...Oh!

[uneven lantern]

Shank is replying to that saying they still have an issue with this book.

[dire blade]

My apologies, I missed that additional context.

It appears to indeed be working for me, though I did have to clear my cache to get it to display correctly. Maybe that's the issue here?

[amber hazel]

Ok, I found out the issue, it seems I don't have it here due to to it needing to be purchased at 0$ at the marketplace

Hi everyone!
I’m trying to create a new character for fun on D&D Beyond. I chose Warlock and I’d like to use the Genie patron, but on the mobile app I don’t see any option to select or add it.
I do have access to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything, so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
Am I missing something?

[loud drift]

make sure you have expanded rules 2014 active for the character and scroll down towards the bottom of the list of subclasses

[uneven lantern]

When you say you have access, does that mean you purchased it yourself, or is it shared with you instead?

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

[glossy skiff]

yea i purchased and thank you

[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

[glossy skiff]

I think so,sorry guys and thank you for your help

[dire blade]

On your character sheet, you need to enable 2014 Expanded Rules so that the Genie Warlock shows up on the 2024 Warlock chassis .

[glossy skiff]

Fantastic. I was thinking u can choose from lvl 1, sorry i just started to play at d&d. Many thanks

So I wasn’t wrong, just a newbie

[uneven lantern]

On the My Encounters page, there’s a table with three columns. The third column (after Name and Campaign) has a menu button that includes a Delete option at the end.

That same menu button is found near the top when viewing the encounter. There’s the encounter name, the last saved date, the Game Log button, then the menu button.

[crude venture]

Thank you very much for the explanation! I will give it a shot 🤞 uncertain if the obstacle is with the assistive technology, I am using or the technology gap in the devices I’m using 🤷

[hybrid quail]

?books

[dense viper]

I believe thats a mod only command but ill see if i can find where Dyno has posted it before

[hybrid quail]

I want to access the books "Volo's Guide to Monsters "and "Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes". Does anyone have them online on DnD Beyond?

[dense viper]

You cant ask people to share their content with you that breaks DnD Beyonds ToS

Here is what Dyno post when using the books command

[hybrid quail]

Okay, I suppose I can do this........wish me luck!!!!

[crude venture]

I have tried clicking the button after the game, log button using chrome on both my laptop and my mobile device, which is an iPhone SE to no avail on both devices when clicking the button after game log no additional options are available to select, and I am finding no button That reads delete

[dense viper]

Have you tried turning your phone side ways and letting your screen rotate? Sometimes some options will load off screen until you try rotating your device

Im talking about just on your phone btw

[crude venture]

I have and no change 🤷

[dense viper]

Do you see the menu button on the right side of the screen? or does you screen reader say there is a button to the right of the campaign name on mobile?

[crude venture]

I will also take a screenshot of chrome on my iPhone and post it in a second

[dire blade]

Okay, I do see the three dots where I expect them. They're to the right of the "Resume" button. You can click those and there is a "Delete" option therein.

I don't know if an image helps, but here's one showing the "Delete" option.

[uneven lantern]

Your screen is apparently bigger than mine, and shows more columns. Sorry!

It’s the last item in the row.

[dire blade]

I believe it's technically the 7th column or--Yes, last item in the row.

[crude venture]

This was a sideways screenshot from my iPhone 🤷

[dire blade]

The dots are visible therein as well to the right of the Game Log button in the top-right of the screen just under the menu bar.

[crude venture]

I’ve been able to locate the button in question the problem is that once I hit enter on my keyboard or tap on my phone it provides no further selections for me

[dire blade]

Hrmmm...

[crude venture]

Right… Here is where the failure in accessibility comes into play once my cursor is on that button which just says BUTTON and I try to activate said button it gives me no options to select after the fact

[dire blade]

Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with the support app you're using or why it would give no options. Normally that behavior would only be caused by not having certain JavaScript functionalities enabled, but it may be an interaction with your support app that I cannot test and am unfamiliar with. I just tested by keyboard tabbing through to the button on both Chrome and Firefox and it worked fine for me.

[crude venture]

The screen reading software that I use is pretty common place for individuals without vision. It is called NVDA.

Also, I am encountering the same issue when using voiceover on my mobile phone with chrome on the DND beyond website

[exotic osprey]

Is it possible to set a campaign to include only 2024 or 2014 rules/sourcebooks instead of asking each player to ensure that only specific sources are selected?

[dire blade]

Not at the campaign level, but you can turn off 2014 sources for each character at the character-level. This is probably closest to the behavior you want.

...or you could turn off 2024 sources if you prefer. Sorry, just noticed you said 2024 or 2014.

[crude venture]

May I ask what screen reading software you are using to test this?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I get the same issue with Voiceover. It opens the menu but doesn’t move the focus into it. I’ll flag it with the devs tomorrow.

[dire blade]

I was just testing the tabbing behavior with keyboard and no mouse interactions. I do not have a screen-reading software installed and am not on a machine where I can install one to test. Sorry I can't be more help!

[crude venture]

I very much appreciate the assistance! 🤞 I’m hoping that solving this issue with VoiceOver will also solve the issue on my laptop. I have been playing DND for over 25 years and lost my vision three years ago, trying to get my 23 year-old and 16-year-old boys into the game And DND beyond is my only option at the moment. Once again, I very much appreciate any and all assistance and support that any of you are able to provide. Thank you so much.

unfortunately you'll have to wait, no one here would have access to billing, just make sure that you don't submit multiple tickets as that keeps putting you at the back of the queue and can take longer to get the issue resolved

When printing a character sheet, is there a way to also print the full description of all the spells that are available to that character so they don't have to use the rulebook?

[crude venture]

If you use the DND beyond app for character, sheets and management, it will have them all listed in the app.

[median beacon]

Yeah, I'm hosting a one shot for new players, so want to introduce them to paper sheets first... One we get into a campaign I'll offer dnd beyond

[dapper gazelle]

Probably then want to output DDB to PDF first and see if it has the spell details you want. You can then decide if you need some other solution.

I suppose class resources like spell slots, ki points, sorcery points, bardic inspirations. Is there a way I can create such stuff for my own subclasses, campaign, etc.

[near ember]

You can do that whit homebrew

[steep tundra]

yes...how????

or more precisely where

[near ember]

You can create homebrew subclasses here
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-subclass
I don't have time to explain how to homebrew a subclass (moost class features are easier to make if you copy something that works)

[steep tundra]

ok right but explain this to me, for what I'm tryna do would I find that in class features, modifiers, actions, spells, etc.?

I can figure out the how but just, where or what should I be looking at to do this exactly?

[near ember]

Can you open a subclass in homebrew that dous what you are trying to do and copy it

If not you should wait for someone els that has time to explain it to you

[steep tundra]

yeah I might be really stupid bout this but some dude when I asked said to just "make it a class resource bro", tryna just do what the image below say

[near ember]

For next time starting whit the image gives you an answer much faster but I think this works. (This is how I do things like that, ask cal.5188 if you want a different way)
1 Make an action
2 Set the action type (I usually use general)
3 Than choose a reset type
4 Press save
5 Press add limited use data
(See pictures for what to press in order)

I added my birthdate and jurisdiction before Jan 27th. I've kept this notification up since. I noticed today it changed from Jan 27th to Feb 2nd. Has the deadline been pushed back?

Hey there, so its jan 27th and i cant seem to find the exploring ebberon content thats supposed to be released today. Keep getting the 404 page. Even the third party producers site says its availanle. Is there a time frame of when the content will be available/released for purchase today?

[uneven lantern]

The release process is likely starting now. It could take a few hours to complete.

There will be posts in #dnd-announcements and social media once that’s complete and the book is fully available.

[lofty holly]

bumping this

[uneven lantern]

Yes

Based on this post in the Events tab, it is still an hour or so away
