🚨 Hello again, friends! 🚨

The bug what disappeared all your gold should be fixed now. It's possible that a small percentage of affected users may still experience this OR experience some character sheet reversion from the last week (basically, any changes you made to these containers since the bug appeared might be reverted).

If that happens, please let me know 🙂
-# attn: @storm fable @dire blade @warm cosmos @dapper gazelle @wintry sand

[wintry sand]

In the App its not right but on the webside its correct again!

Thank you very much

[warm cosmos]

It worked on one of 3 of my affected Characters....but maybe it needs some time to update to all?

[torn crystal]

I would give it some time; I think when the customizations returned there was a rolling effect, but keep me updated. The team wants to know if it doesn't fully resolve

[warm cosmos]

Okay I´ll give it some time

[uneven lantern]

That event time is arbitrary. It may not match the actual release time.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[verbal creek]

Is Exploring Eberron out now?

[near ember]

for me it is

[crude venture]

I know it’s still early. Just wanted to mention that I am still unable to modify encounters on my laptop and mobile device using assistive technology.

[quick violet]

is the legacy Spellbook the only basic spellbook item currently on dnd beyond?

[verbal creek]

If you toggle legacy off.

[loud drift]

It's showing up in the shop, but until the announcement I expect that it isn't fully rolled out yet.

https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/DB8XTUXUM?pid=DB8XTUXUM

[torn crystal]

It's up on the marketplace, and I am working on the announcement 😛

[uneven lantern]

Hey there! I did send that report to the devs. Not sure what they're currently working on or what their next priorities are, though.

[crude venture]

Thank you!!!

[maiden swift]

Despite the title being on the marketplace, in my library, and synced in my liscences with all partner content turned on I can't use any of the new Eberron options on character sheets.

[uneven lantern]

Can you confirm the book is listed here under Current Product Licenses as well?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[maiden swift]

It is, yes.

[storm fable]

Mine is still showing 0 in both the website and the app.

[torn crystal]

link me the character please 🙂

[storm fable]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/9270387

[clear hull]

same issue here. No character options available despite 3rd party sources are allowed for the character. license does show up as well.

[uneven lantern]

Thanks! I’ve already flagged it with the devs.

[soft field]

i need a little help

i have been given a gift code and may have rapid clicked, now it says the gift codes exchanged but i dont have the new eberron book in my library

[loud sedge]

No tag missing found.

[dense viper]

?tag ddb missing

[loud sedge]

Missing Content?

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

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

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

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

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

[lofty holly]

Is this display bug happening to anyone else? This isn’t happening for the species for Exploring Eberron, just the classes. It’s the same on my phone. I don’t think this specifically is causing any kind of issues anywhere else, but I thought it was worth mentioning.

[soft field]

so i see it in the account entitlements kinda? but i cant access the species nor the artificier sub class with the character builder.

[maiden swift]

Yeah, that's about where everyone is at.

[dire blade]

?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.

[soft field]

it does say its in sync. but content is not available

[maiden swift]

Even people who do have it in their synced entitlements can't currently use it, or if some can others can't.

It's in my list and I still can't use it.

[soft field]

now i did get mine from a gift code if it makes a difference

[dense viper]

It may not be fully rolled out yet. They normally post in #dnd-announcements when new stuff is fully out

[torn crystal]

popping in to reiterate that we've alerted the devs about it. they're figuring out what's going on

[lofty holly]

bumping this to also ask if what I'm experiencing could be a part of this sync/content issue?

[uneven lantern]

I don't know if that's related or not, but it has been reported to the devs either way.

[lofty holly]

Ok thank you spamandtuna!

[zealous shell]

I'm having the same issue. I bought the book and my entitlements are synced but the character options are not available on neither the website or the D&D Beyond app.

[maiden swift]

It's been reported, I think we just gotta let 'em take care of it.

[zealous shell]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[lofty holly]

I should note that I haven't actually purchased the sourcebook, I only noticed the graphical bug in the species list, if that makes a difference

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!
-# cc: @clear hull @soft field @zealous shell

[charred veldt]

Exploring Eberron isn’t available to filter in the monster page

Looks like it’s the same in magic items

And spells

[edgy oriole]

I beleieve there are still technical issues the devs are working on ironing out

[soft field]

checking ^_^

[lofty holly]

Seems like the graphical bug I’m experiencing has progressed; there is only one class that appears for Exploring Eberron. Allow me to reiterate that I have not actually purchased the sourcebook and have no plans to: it’s just something I’ve noticed when browsing the classes list.

[maiden swift]

That's a subclass, it shouldn't even be in the class list at all.

[lofty holly]

Further proves my case in point. A couple hours ago it looked like this:

[dire blade]

Have you tried clearing your cache and doing a hard refresh?

[lofty holly]

This happens on my phone too

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, they’re working on it.

[finite epoch]

Is it still possible to use the DNDBeyond character creator for 2014 rules? I can't find the old 2014 versions of core backgrounds that don't boost ability scores.

[dire blade]

Yes, just disable the 2024 rules for the character and enable the 2014 rules for it.

[finite epoch]

Thank you

[charred veldt]

@uneven lantern Can I just say I’d love a page like this where all subclasses are in once plane like how race and classes are. Always find it annoying I can’t see all the dndbeyond subclasses in one place and I have to make notes on what exists, could you bring that up to the devs please?

[honest otter]

Looks like the character options are there, but in character builder it’s giving Forge Adept the spell table of Battle Smith

[storm drum]

idk what dnd beyond is but is this basically dnd help?

[honest otter]

It’s support for the dndbeyond website and app, which are a tool for creating characters and accessing the source materials

[storm drum]

i just got the app but which channel is like character help (with few homebrew stuff)?

[loud drift]

#character-discussion

[storm drum]

ty

[honest otter]

And Maverick spells gives access to all wizard, cleric and artificer spells instead of just the cantrips

Should this be in #ddb-feedback ?

[dire blade]

Yes, but the mods see the issues posted in both places all the same. Bugs are better to report there, while this is better for help with DND problems.

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Already on my list of things to report.

[slate stag]

I'm really curious about this new aspect of Eberron I'm seeing all throughout Exploring Eberron.

Apparently it's called "[Tooltip Not Found]"

Must be a BIG deal cuz it's everywhere!🫩

[maiden swift]

Love that guy.

[glad tree]

homebrew item needs to reduce walking speed by 10ft. I added a modifier for "speed reduction" and "impose" and put "-10" in the fixed value field, but it doesn't do anything to the speed when equiped.

[glad tree]

I have also tried "10" in the fixed value field.

[uneven lantern]

If you can find an official feature that has that effect, you could make a homebrew copy of it to see how they set it up.

[sharp hearth]

I am looking for more information about this K-ID to provide DoB and Jurisdiction. I see we have until 2/2 to complete it but I don't see where we need to add the information

[edgy oriole]

When you log in to the D&DBeyond site, go to your account and there should be a button there to start the process of verification. It went pretty quick in my experience, couple of questions, K-ID verifies, and then you're good to go.

[sharp hearth]

Yeah, i saw that but it is not letting me click on it.

[edgy oriole]

Any ad blockers, third-party antivirus, or VPNs at play on your device?

If you can't click it, you may have already completed the verification process.

But in that case it should say something like "Provided x and y"

[sharp hearth]

Not that I know of, but let me check more into that. Thank you!

[raw mortar]

There is no option to select a maneuver for superior technique

[sharp hearth]

No ad blockers or anything. I don't think I added anything for it as it does not say. Still can't click on the button

[edgy oriole]

Can you try using a different browser or device and seeing if it works there?

[sharp hearth]

I tried by phone and got the same thing

[edgy oriole]

And it does not say "Provided <x> and <y>" yet? (that's the sign that you've been verified).

[edgy oriole]

Yep! You're good!

You're verifed

[sharp hearth]

OK. Thanks!

[edgy oriole]

I may put a note in to the devs to consider changing the color of that to something less button like to make it clear it's been completed (maybe even with a check mark icon too).

[edgy oriole]

Is this feat on a 2024 class by chance? I wonder if 2024 fighting styles do not work with that 2014 feat.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[plucky cradle]

If I add a custom background, do I need to add the tool and skill proficiencies manually?

[near ember]

If you use the custom background option you can choose in the menu

[plucky cradle]

where is that option sorry?

Under configure custom background it says "Proficiency/Language Choices" but it doesn't give you any further options no matter what you pick

[near ember]

From there press the option you want
than press save
And choose what skills, languages and tools you want

[plucky cradle]

oh weird im not getting that option

ahhh changed it and saved and they appeared

thanks

[near ember]

Yippee (you almost gat a step by step explain)

[plucky cradle]

Appreciate you

[near ember]

This is step by step if you are qurous (if that didn't work I would have sent you to customer support)

[charred veldt]

Is it? I still can’t seem to filter it

[uneven lantern]

Guess not. I see it on my end, but doesn’t seem like others can.

Just had another user bring it up, too.

I’ll flag it with the devs.

[charred veldt]

The monsters are at least there if you search them by name, but the actual filter isn’t there, Thanks again Spam!

[granite sundial]

When trying to add Tayr the Paladin as a premade character to my campaign i get this error message above.
Every other character worked, and also trying multiple times.

(Content: Stranger Things: Welcome to Hellfire Club)

Edit: Solved by claiming as my character and then unassingning it it.

[ionic egret]

Hi guys, I'm new to dnd and I'm trying to create a character on dndbeyond I wanna make a samurai but for some reason I can't select the subclass (isn't it on level 3?), can any of you help?

[edgy oriole]

Do you own the book on D&DBeyond that has that subclass? Or are you building this character inside a D&DBeyond campaign with content sharing enabled that someone in that campaign has that book?

Or is this more of an issue of “can’t select a subclass”?

If you’re using 2024 classes, make sure you’re not using a 2014 base class

[ionic egret]

right now I was just making a character without being in any campaign, but I made a small search on google and supposedly there's a samurai subclass in the fighter class

at level 3

but when I go to select the subclass it only shows champion on the list

[uneven lantern]

Samurai is from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything. Have you purchased that book?

[ionic egret]

nope...

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need that book in order to use that subclass.
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/all-rulebooks/xanathars-guide-to-everything

If someone in your campaign has purchased it, and a Master Tier subscriber has enabled Content Sharing for that campaign, you’d be able to use it for characters in that campaign.

But to use it outside of a campaign, you’d need to purchase the book yourself.

[ionic egret]

ahhh ok

got it

thanks!

[warm cosmos]

Just as a tiny "update"
After wating some time it still only worked for 1 out of 3 Characters for me

[torn crystal]

Thanks! I flagged it again yesterday because some forum folks were also saying it wasn’t fixed. Waiting to hear back today.

[barren crypt]

A significant amount of Chapter 5 of Exploring Eberron seems to be missing and the navigation bar for what is there is inconsistently formatted. When selecting a Plane from the table of contents not listed in my screenshot, for example, Thelanis: The Faerie Court, the site brings me to a 404 page.

[fluid ivy]

I have the same

[uneven lantern]

None of it is missing from the page itself.

The table of contents links have a typo, which is why they show a 404.

And the side nav for some reason isn’t showing a lot of the sections.

But the sections themselves are there if you scroll down far enough.

[fluid ivy]

Also, in chapter 4 the side nav doesn't stick when you scroll down and the chapter is long

[fluid ivy]

chapters 1 and 3 the same

[drifting niche]

I'm still missing the gold on my characters. The party inventory was fixed though.

[drifting niche]

Can I link 2 of my characters? Just trying to get them fixed.

[soft field]

hmmm i have a new trouble with exploring ebberon. It seems i cannot share it with others in my campaigns

[gaunt ibex]

Hi All. I am having trouble accessing shared content.

1. I can see the item, curse of strahd for example, in my "shared with me" library
2. I can then see the contents of the book, and i have been able to access previously some time ago
3. but when i click on a section to read further it prompts me to purchase.

This is consistent with all other shared content as well

[uneven lantern]

Are your entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[gaunt ibex]

Yes i believe so!

[uneven lantern]

Do you know which campaign was sharing it with you?

[gaunt ibex]

Yes I do, its the only one im being shared with actually

[uneven lantern]

Who activated Content Sharing for that campaign? If they check the link above, does it still show an active Master Tier subscription?

Who in that campaign purchased that book? If they check the link above, is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?

[gaunt ibex]

Ah that i do not know. I can check with them. Thank you, sounds like at least its nothing on my end

[storm drum]

why can’t I put some stuff on my character for this?

[dense viper]

What stuff are you trying to put on your character? We need a bit more information before we can offer any help

[storm drum]

like oath of vengeance for paladin

[dense viper]

Do you own the book that the oath of vengeance is in or is it shared with you?

[storm drum]

no

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

[dense viper]

Then thats why it isn't an option for you to chose

[storm drum]

ok

[narrow niche]

i want to get in to dnd but i know nothing and dont know where to start

[nova orbit]

#learn-to-play is the best place or #dnd-newcomers

[soft field]

Umm do we have any updates on being able to content share the new eberron book? i have access to it. now but none of the people in my server can share it? sorry to be a pest.

[uneven lantern]

It’s been reported to the devs already.

But beyond that, I don’t know what they’re currently working on or what their next priorities are.

[hollow zealot]

Is there a limit to the number of campaigns that you can content share for? because I can't find anywhere that says there's a limit but I can't enable content sharing for my new campaign

[fading bramble]

5

[dense viper]

There is a limit and its 5 campaigns

[hollow zealot]

okay it didn't say there is a limit anywhere so I was confused thank you

[dire blade]

In-case you're curious, it does describe the limit on this page: https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/subscribe#tiers-comparison-table The wording is a bit strange, since it's actually 12 players in each of 5 campaigns (total of 60 players), but it does give the right numbers.

[dapper gazelle]

Are you able to read this page or it takes you to the marketplace? (Or something else happens?!)
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/cos/into-the-mists#AdventureHooks

[viral linden]

In dnd Homebrew creation, how would I make a cursed bag

[gaunt ibex]

no i cant sadly. takes me to store page!

[dapper gazelle]

Sounds like a sharing issue then, likely on the side of the person who owns the content. IIRC, seeing the Table of Contents for some books is a type of preview and thus would not indicate actual access to the book.

Some major things to check:

• you should have a character in the campaign with the sharer
• that specific campaign needs sharing turned on by a master sub
• the sharing of that book has to be turned on for that book in "Content Management"
• the sharer has to own the book instead of have it shared with them

If any of those are not done correctly, you would likely be redirected to the store.

[daring oasis]

Can anyone find Candleflamebow in the weapons on DDB?

[dense viper]

What source book is it from?

[daring oasis]

So I have not a clue my DM gave it to me in one of the last campaigns before i died. Its looking like "The Griffon's Saddlebag???

[edgy oriole]

Yeah that item comes from Griffons Saddlebag 2

[dense viper]

Are you able to see this page? https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/9445026-candleflame-bow

Or does it take you to the marketplace?

[daring oasis]

yes

I can see the page

[dense viper]

Do you have partnered content turned on for your character you are trying to add it to?

[daring oasis]

Yes to the Partnered Content

[dense viper]

Do you own this book yourself or is your character in a campign where the book is shared with you?

[daring oasis]

The latter portion. With that my DM may have the hard back and not the E so it will not pull the data needed for that item?

[dense viper]

You wouldnt have been able to see that page I linked above if the digital version wasnt shared with you. But it may be shared through a different campaign.
Are you in more then one campaign?

Im just trying to pin down why you cant seem to add it to your character.

[near ember]

what word are you using in the search bar

[daring oasis]

no only have 1 campaign

[daring oasis]

i have done a few different wasy from simple bow attunded items, and even the full name

[near ember]

try only Candleflame

[uneven lantern]

If you check this page, are your Account Entitlements in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[daring oasis]

no dice

[uneven lantern]

Who enabled Content Sharing for that campaign? If they check that same link, does it still show an active Master Tier subscription?

[daring oasis]

yep no dice

[uneven lantern]

Who in the campaign has purchased that book on the site? If they check that same link, is the book listed under Current Product Licenses?

[near ember]

can you go to edit character and check if The Griffon’s Saddlebag has a checkmark in frond of it

[daring oasis]

Everything is through with the DM he has a hella collection and

Also have all the boxes check thats why im going down the rabbit hole.

[uneven lantern]

If your DM checks that page, then, does it still show an active Master Tier subscription? Is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?

[daring oasis]

no on the master tier sub

[dense viper]

Someone with a master tier sub has to turn on content sharing so that others in the campaign can use everyone else content

-# I cant belive I misspelled it...

[loud sedge]

No tag contentsharring found in category ddb.

[crude venture]

Still having accessibility issues with DND beyond encounters on both my laptop and mobile device

[edgy oriole]

We’ve reported those accessibility issues back to the devs but we have no insight on when they’ll be prioritized and addressed.

Also thank you for reporting these issues!

[crude venture]

🤷 I know there aren’t too many users out there that encounter this so how are the devs supposed to know it works until somebody test it? 🤨

I’m working with a few companies apps and websites to ensure their accessibility to people with disabilities.

[dense viper]

Is there a way to change the to hit bonus for custom actions? The fixed value filed is only adding to damage.

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[dire blade]

I guess the subclasses from Exploring Eberron still don't work? I just verified and I'm having it shared with me from one of my campaigns as shown in the attached screenshot, but none of the subclasses are showing up on the class pages or on character sheets in said campaign (where it's being shared with me) as expected. I also noticed that My Library doesn't even show the book as shared with me even though it is and I can (and have) read the whole thing hah.

[uneven lantern]

I know there were issues with sharing that book, but they were supposed to have been fixed this morning…

Are your entitlements in sync?

Is this character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing that book?

Is Visionary enabled for that character?

Which class did you select?

[vale hollow]

Hello everyone, do i need anything special besides a dnd beyond account to play on foundry?

[tall willow]

depends on if your DM knows how to port forward for you or if they use some kind of hosting site for foundry

[fluid ivy]

Is it known that in chapters 1, 3 and 4 of Exploring Eberron the navigation thingy doesn't stick when you scroll down?

[vale hollow]

@tall willow k thank you

[dire blade]

I figured out the issue. The character had "Enable All Partnered Content" enabled but Visionary was disabled since I guess the new checkbox was added, so double-toggling "Enable All Partnered Content" fixed it.

[daring oasis]

Thank you will reach out to the DM later had toddler duty pop up. Wanted to say thanks for the information. ☺️

[uneven lantern]

Hi folks. I’ve been using DDB for years as a forever DM. Most of all, I use the encounter builder/combat tracker. It’s been in beta for so long that I’m wondering if it will ever be updated? Will things like conditions, active effects etc be added any time soon?

[vernal fractal]

There is definitely work to do. We have two - one in Maps and one outside of Maps. They are both great... at different things.

I'd love for one day them to both be great at all the things.

It's not something we're working on now, or next. But it's definitely heard.

I'll second the request for an improved encounter builder. For me it lies only second to restricting book access to players for specific campaigns.

[autumn dock]

Hi all - Question - is there a way in DNDB Maps to duplicate maps as a template with monsters and stickers already associated to the map? Or do we need to add monsters to maps every time even tho the setup is the same?

[vernal fractal]

Heard on both accounts!

[crude venture]

On the DND beyond app in the campaign tab is there a way to clear out the game log?

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid not.

[crude venture]

Is it possible to clear the game log at all? That should’ve been my first question honestly lol

[uneven lantern]

No, it isn’t. 😅

[crude venture]

All right, thanks for the clarification.

If I am creating a very basic encounter with one enemy, how do I add that to a started campaign, such as intro to Storm rec aisle? And is it possible to select one PC to run through the encounter for testing purposes?

[finite oyster]

So im on the homebrew page in dnd beyond, how do I add a modifier that increases radiant damage from spells by the characters charisma mod? The small tooltips aren't very helpful. The only thing I could think is Damage, Radiant, and then something for 'fixed value'

[crude venture]

NVM! 🤪 😞 I got it figured out!

[lost heron]

Howdy folks. So I have added a Homebrew subclass and used it in the past. But recently I tried to make a new character using it and realized that when I try and choose a subclass it is not showing Homebrew subclasses as an option I can select. I have Homebrew options turned on, it is still in my Homebrew folder and it is still available in the Main Homebrew section. And prev characters I made using it, still have access. Any help is appreciated.

[dense viper]

Check to make sure you are using the right class. Homebrew made for the 2014 rogue wont show up for the 2024 rogue

[lost heron]

Fair, but no, I am a DnDBeyond vet. Addicted to character creation, over 800 characters. THAT part I am sure of heh

[dire blade]

Some things I'd double-check:

• Double-check that the homebrew still exists and still is in your collection (it could've been deleted for breaking TOS or something if it was published).
• Double-check that Homebrew is turned on for the character. I realize you said it was, but just turn it off and back on again. Sometimes this fixes stuff for me after a book comes out and the checkboxes get horked (happened to me literally yesterday).
• Double-check that the class is correct. I realize you just said it was as well, but I wanted this message to be complete.
• Remove the Homebrew from your collection and readd it to the collection. This sometimes jostles things into working if the homebrew is old, maybe got a new version, something like that.

[lost heron]

1. Checked again, does exist.
2. Checked again, is on. Turned it off and on again to confirm
3. Class is correct
4. Removed and added.

Also, checked that while Homebrew races I have added to my collection are still available to me as options in character creation, it seems that no cubclass options are avail. Even Homebrew subclasses that I created are not available to me.

[lofty holly]

Thank you!

[dire blade]

I just checked and I can use my own Homebrew subclasses as well as those from My Homebrew Collection on new characters, so that doesn't appear to be a universal issue. Trying to think of other things this could be, but I'm not sure offhand.

[lost heron]

Thanks for checking that. Yeah, it is not just a today thing, I noticed it a bit ago, but hoped it was an issue that would get solved. sigh

[dire blade]

Looks like the anchors seem to be working now too, though there is one here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/exeb/chapter-3-faiths-of-eberron#WhatisDivineMagic) that is overlapping the title text:

[lost heron]

Thanks. But I tried that and they sent a copy paste saying essentialy "this is Homebrew, we don't support". Even though the issue is NOT they homebrew itself, it is either my account or something w their character creation tool not accessing what it should. 🙁

[crude venture]

Does anyone know if there are any forums or even YouTube channels for DND beyond users that have low vision or no vision?

[edgy oriole]

I am unaware of anything specifically for that but the D&DBeyond forums do have a Bugs and Support forum and Feedback forum if that might help? https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/
That said, I can't say the D&DBeyond forums are any more accessible then using Discord.

[crude venture]

I appreciate the thought and have submitted a few support tickets, but unfortunately, at this point in time that’s just a drop in the bucket 🤷

[torn pilot]

in the physical print for Caves of Chaos each lair has the "What you need to play" section. However in the digital print on dndbeyond, this is missing. If I am trying to run my game using the dndbeyond tools this is an issue. Can you please add that in?

[fallow spire]

I subscribed to the masters level of dndbeyond. When I try to add someones homebrew item to my collections it says that I still require a subscription. Any help with this?

[edgy oriole]

Check that your entitlements are in sync

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[lost heron]

Ok, figured it out. Even though the subclass was created in 2025 it was created for the 2014 Monk. And now checking, I can see that you can filter classes by 2024 or 2014, but I wish there was something that actually showed up in the search results saying which it was. Thanks for your help!!

[lost heron]

I either misread your comment or I read it before your (possible edit) to mean checking between 2014 and 2024 versions. Cause that was indeed the reason. If that was what you actually said, then man, I read it too quick. lol

[dense viper]

The edit was for spelling.
Reading comments to fast happens to me all the time

[finite oyster]

How do i add flat damage to certain spells for my homebrew subclass? Say, I wish to increase necrotic damage by my int mod for spells

[near ember]

I don't know of an other way than manually adding the damage to each spell

[dire blade]

Some of these functions have modifiers that work, such as bonus damage to cantrips, but I don’t think you can do it with all Necrotic damage.

[lost stag]

ive created a campaign, inserted text into the description, DM notes (public) and DM notes (private). my players cant see any of that text. what am i missing/not doing?

[maiden swift]

Is the campaign properly public/set to be viewed by them?

[covert kindle]

Two things that have fixed similar issues for me in the past:

1. Level the character up, wait a second, then level them down again. This can cause character options to refresh.

2. Alter the homebrew's name/title (i.e. add a 1 to the end) and change the version number

No idea if those will work, but worth a try imo

[stone linden]

Does buying the monster manual via ddb unlock anything for me to use in the app like the players handbook? Or is it just the book as reference for things?

[fading bramble]

the monster manual is just a book of monster statblocks

[stone linden]

I see, so mostly useful as reference and good enough to own physically

[fading bramble]

at most, you get more polymorph or wildshape options, but otherwise, its not needed for a player

[stone linden]

Also another question: on the mobile app I can't really see my homebrew content, or at least I can not find any menu point to get there. Is it just not enabled for mobile?

[fading bramble]

its not, unless youre in the character builder itself to my knowledge

[stone linden]

Ahh yea its in the builder, thanks!

[dapper gazelle]

I believe It does unlock things in the Extras tab of a character.

[tribal raft]

I own the Player’s Handbook and Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica (confirmed in my Library). However, in the character builder I can’t access the cleric order domain ( from guildmaster guide to Ravnica) , even on new characters with 2014 rules enabled. As a result, Order Domain does not appear. Anyone knows why??!!

[wind sedge]

When you choose the class are you choosing the 2024 one or 2014 one?

[tribal raft]

Even when I choose the 2014 one…I only get divine domain…the backgrounds have changed to reflect the new ones as per the guildmaster guide to Ravnica though.

[wind sedge]

That's odd, don't have an answer then lol. sorry

[dapper gazelle]

On the home Tab, did you not just tick 2014 Core Rules but also 2014 Extended & Legacy?

Did you try ticking the partnered content?

[uneven lantern]

Order Domain is under 2014 Expanded Rules.

You’ll need that enabled regardless of which Cleric class you use.

[dapper gazelle]

Thanks, yes, tick 2014 Expanded.
-# I should read the character editor before I type.

[tribal raft]

I tried to only tick only 2014, or only 2014 expanded rules or both together…I tried choosing the cleric 2014 option from the class section…nothing is showing up except divine domain. As for the content, I have all partners ticked…am I suppose to see the guildmaster guide to Ravnica there? Because I don’t.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need either Core Rules or 2014 Core Rules to add the Cleric class (depending on which version you want), plus 2014 Expanded Rules to select that subclass.

Nothing under Partnered Content will help you here.

[dapper gazelle]

Also verify the class as Spamandtuna said. It is very easy to accidentally be using the other version's class.

I believe since you are only seeing Divine Domain, even your PH subclasses are not being recognized.

[uneven lantern]

In this case, the actual class doesn’t matter.

Either Cleric will work.

[dapper gazelle]

Maybe a login issue so no access to purchased books?

[uneven lantern]

The important part is that 2014 Expanded Rules is enabled in order to see that subclass.

[tribal raft]

First…i appreciate your help.
I tried that already…the only option I get is the divine domain…I don’t get any option to choose anything else.
It’s weird that the backgrounds changed to add the new extra backgrounds but the classes didn’t change.

[uneven lantern]

If it is enabled and you’re still not seeing it, then yeah, there’s something else happening.

[tribal raft]

It is

[uneven lantern]

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

[tribal raft]

I did that too…an it’s synced, I messaged support already but not sure when they will reply.

[uneven lantern]

Is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?

If not, that would explain why you’re not seeing the subclass.

[tribal raft]

I believe it is…or else why the backgrounds change but not the classes!? And correct me if I am wrong, am I not supposed to get extra cleric domain anyway from the PHB?

[uneven lantern]

Can you please open this page and verify that those books are listed under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[dapper gazelle]

You are. That's why I am feeling both your books aren't being reflected. In fairness, the PH ones do require 2014 Core Rules to be ticked, while the ones you asked about requires 2014 Expanded .

And that is why you need to verify what Spamandtuna said above. It tells you if DDB thinks you should have access.

[tribal raft]

Oh well….seems it’s not only a particular source problem then

How can i verify exactly?

[uneven lantern]

Open this page, find the section called Current Product Licenses, and check what books are listed there.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

If it doesn’t list those books, that’s the source of your problem.

[tribal raft]

Just checked, both books are listed there

[uneven lantern]

If the following are all true, then Order Domain should be there:

• Your Account Entitlements are in sync.
• The books you need (Ravnica or Tasha’s) are listed under Current Product Licenses.
• You have 2014 Expanded Rules enabled.

Could you perhaps share a few screenshots? Maybe that’ll help us find the issue.

[dapper gazelle]

Wait a sec....

Did Ravnica reprint Order Domain?

Because you did not mention Tasha's but Order Domain is from Tasha book.

It won't show if you don't have that book. (Unless it was reprinted there...)

[tribal raft]

I have Tasha’s shared with me through a campaign as well.
And I am just realizing that I can choose subclasses for other classes in the 2024 version but not on the 2014…for example the EK for fighter at level 3…available for the 2024 but not 2014 ( I understood that it should be available on both)

[uneven lantern]

It’s the reverse. Ravnica was the original. Tasha’s was the reprint.

[dapper gazelle]

Ah. K.

As to things shared with you, the specific character has to be in the campaign where it is being shared with you or you won't have access. But back to your original problem ...

[uneven lantern]

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

[dapper gazelle]

Maybe DDB accidentally made the source the new one so people with only Ravnica cannot access it?

I cannot test as I own TCE.

[uneven lantern]

And there’s two versions of Eldritch Knight. The one from the 2014 PHB works only on the 2014 class, and the one from the 2024 PHB works only on the 2024 class.

[tribal raft]

Should the PHB give me options for cleric domain in the 2024 character?

[uneven lantern]

No, it’s definitely still included with Ravnica.

[dapper gazelle]

Is it a 2024 PH or 2014 PH?

[uneven lantern]

The 2024 Cleric () plus the 2014 PHB should let you choose the Knowledge, Nature, or Tempest Domains.

You’d need Core Rules enabled to select that class, plus 2014 Core Rules to select those subclasses.

[dapper gazelle]

Basically, whichever PH you own, that version class will have the PH subclasses .
-# as Spamandtuna said though, you will need the right things ticked.

[uneven lantern]

For Life, Light, Trickery, and War, you’d need the 2024 PHB for its updated versions of those subclasses.

[tribal raft]

I see…well I am just realizing now then that regardless if it’s 2014 or 2024 and regardless what’s the source is…the only option I am getting is divine domain for cleric.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share some screenshots for us?

[tribal raft]

Yes let me do that…I am a newbie and I am most probably doing something wrong…1 moment.

[uneven lantern]

Ideally:

• Account Entitlements
• Current Product Licenses
• Source toggles (Homebrew, Core Rules, etc)
• Subclass selection

[tribal raft]

@uneven lantern @dapper gazelle please forgive me, I just realized what was happening and it was a stupid thing…as i expected. Thank you for helping though and I really appreciate it. I am sorry again…

[dapper gazelle]

It's all good. Glad we could help you get to where you needed to be.

[civic solstice]

QUESTION: I just subscribed on Master Tier and see that I was excited to see I was shared Lost Mine of Phandelver. So I tried to use Maps, and although I see the Sildar Hallwinter token, it says it's not in the DM's content library. Are shared campaign-specific tokens available in Maps?

[loud drift]

check that your entitlements are in sync and also the person who is sharing with you

?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.

[civic solstice]

Thank you! I just checked that and in sync. But I have no idea who is sharing this, I just assumed it was the system. How can I find out?

[loud drift]

Now that I think about it, Lost Mine was one that they eventually gave away for free iirc

[civic solstice]

Yeah, I don't think one of my players shared it with me

[loud drift]

are you able to view this page: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/lmop/introduction#Overview

[civic solstice]

Yep! I've got all the access to the module itself

just not in Maps

[loud drift]

do you get the same problem in a different browser or on a different device?

[civic solstice]

I'll try

Unfortunately, yes

[loud drift]

Sadly this sounds like a job for spam or Zac, I can't replicate it and I'm not sure what else to check

if you mention the problem in #ddb-maps-vtt it might get seen a little faster

[civic solstice]

ahh that's a great tip, thank you!

[civic solstice]

It looks like it is a permissions issue, not a Maps issue. Because I cannot view this page (one of the monsters from the module): https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/22033-sildar-hallwinter

[dapper gazelle]

So, should be noted. Some things in Maps specifically have to be owned by the DM for it to display in Maps. I haven't heard yet why this odd position was taken, but it does take people by surprise because most other things work when they are shared with you.

[loud drift]

if it is a permissions issue then support can help out with that

it's possible that you didn't claim Lost Mine of Phandelver when it was free prior to the release of Phandelver and Below

but that seems unlikely since you could view a page from the original starter

[civic solstice]

I didn’t. Like I said, I just saw that it was shared with me. But it’s not even available anymore. I’m guessing there’s a flag on the platform that needs to allow the DM part to be shared.

[civic solstice]

Ahh this sounds like it might be it. Really frustrating as it's not even possible to buy it. Just a tease

[vernal fractal]

I mentioned this in #ddb-maps-vtt but I'll look into what the expected behavior here is supposed to be on Monday.

[night zephyr]

Got a question for the clan. I want to change the damage for a Morning Star from 1d8 piercing to 1d4 piercing + 1d4 bludgeoning, which seems to me to be more accurate. Anyway, I've been unable to find a way to alter the damage types on the weapon using the customization features and when I try to homebrew a weapon it retains the base damage and I could not find a way to alter that. Is there a way I am missing?

[dense viper]

There isn't a way to change the damage dice.

As a work around you could make custom actions on a character sheet

[civic solstice]

Thank you, appreciate that!

[dapper gazelle]

Not sure what die you need but a number of weapons already exist where you could select that weapon instead and rename it in your homebrew.

Example, if you wanted a Shortsword that does d8, you could use the base weapon of Rapier and just call it a Shortsword.

But unfortunately, yeah, the base damage die of weapons is fixed

[night zephyr]

Thanks all

[iron crane]

When, and more importantly Why, did the roll to GM option in dndb sheets get removed? As a DM with several campaigns, this feels like a horrendous change.

[vernal fractal]

This is missing in the character sheet roller, not in Maps, correct?

[iron crane]

the sheet itself, yes. I have not been using maps at all

[vernal fractal]

Are you using any extensions?

[iron crane]

I am,(beyond 20) but that for when i am in another game, however my players i dont believe so and none of them can see this option either.

[vernal fractal]

Can you disable all extensions and then show me what your dice roller looks like?

[iron crane]

Beyond20 now disabled.

Like i said though, i don't believe my players are using that extension, they don't need it for my games.

[vernal fractal]

Just confirming. We are working on the dice roller in preparation for Dice in Maps, but there should not have been any changes to anywhere in production, let alone the character sheet.

[iron crane]

I noticed this last week, and left it alone assuming it to be temporary, but that was almost exactly a week ago.

[vernal fractal]

I will investigate.

[iron crane]

Thank you.

[vernal fractal]

As an aside, while we're on the topic. Is there ever a situation where you would want a "roll to self-only" (no dm visibility)?

[iron crane]

I could only fathom it in the case of rare situations like the elixirs of an alchemist artificer, or practice rolls?

[dense viper]

The roll to dm button being missing is a problem for my campaigns as i have my players do private death rolls.

[vernal fractal]

Heard.

I already dropped a note in my team's slack channel to discuss on Monday. They're already discussing 😂 everyone's a little confused about what could have caused this to get dropped.

We'll figure it out shortly.

[dapper gazelle]

Out of curiosity as I had not used the feature permanently, how did the system know who the DM was? Was it always the owner of the campaign? If so, i'd like to request that if this is brought back, there be an option to select someone to be "the DM" even if just for this for now.

[iron crane]

That would be determined by who sets up the campaign. They would be automatically set as DM.

[vernal fractal]

Changing DMs in the middle of a campaign is going to be unlikely. A whole lot of architecture is built and designed around the idea that the person who created the campaign is the DM, and it's the sort of thing that wouldn't be used very often.

[vernal fractal]

My team already has a theory as to what happened. It's very weird and we're still not sure how it could have caused this, but now that we have a directional idea it'll be easier to understand how the regression occurred tomorrow.

[iron crane]

Interesting, thanks for the update. I am glad i mentioned this now.

[vernal fractal]

Me too!

[naive valve]

my dm is supposed to run a game in like 30 minutes and he's suddenly having problems using DDB's maps. He said it takes like 5 minutes to load a map but none of us are having that issue. He's already tried resetting his computer, his internet. He's also tried disabling all his extensions and ad blockers. He's updated his drivers, cleared his cache and he's still having the same problem.

[loud drift]

do they have another device or browser that they can try?

[naive valve]

they tried firefox and it didn't work

[vernal fractal]

Capital M Maps the product, or lower case m maps like loading a different map?

[naive valve]

lower case. Like the screen is black for like five+ minutes. He can still access the dice roller and all that but he can't see the map or the tokens.

[vernal fractal]

Ty for the clarification. I don't have access to our system metrics, but posted in our internal slack to see if anyone who does is around and can take a look.

If anyone else can confirm/deny they are having issues, it might help.

[delicate wharf]

Hey gang. Currently dm’ing a game where my sorcerer and warlock have made a pact with a wizard’s ghost that will grant them additional spells every level. How can I add these to their spell repertoire on dndbeyond? Is there any way to go above the “known spells” limit without having to make a homebrew feat or something?

[maiden swift]

As far as I know you'd have to homebrew a feat for that, yeah. I personally have a character who gained a spell book outside of wizard levels and we just have to keep track of it separately.

[short adder]

I have a D&D Beyond campaign that I am a player in. I'm trying to share content - which works - but it's defaulting to sharing all sorts of stuff and not giving me any ability to control what I share. How do I get the buttons back that let me switch on/off sharing?

In a campaign I am DM I can control sharing:

[zealous bobcat]

Only the DM of the campaign can block sources. And the content blocked won't be removed from the character builder. Only prevents the book from being read

[short adder]

Does that mean it's impossible for me to help the DM set up a 2024-only campaign where the PCs in it can only select 2024 options?

[dapper gazelle]

Sort of. You cannot in that way.

However, the owner of the campaign can edit all the sheets in the campaign plus if privacy is set well, others can at least see. Using such information, character sheets can be checked to see that added things came from allowed sources. In these ways, you can probably still "help".

[hybrid nova]

Essentially, the DM (and/or each player) needs to just make sure that only "Core Rules" and "Expanded Rules" are checked on the home page of each character. Uncheck everything else to make sure it doesn't show up. Do that and you're set.

[vivid spade]

Hey, is there a way to move a character from one account to another?

Or copy?

[dire blade]

Yes.

• Create a campaign with you and the target account
• Create an unassigned character in that campaign or add an existing character to the campaign and change it to unassigned
• Have the target account claim the character

[vivid spade]

Okay, thank you

[last heron]

My D&D beyond app signed me out and when i signed back in all my characters were gone

You will likely need to log in through the website and verify your age, and then login again on the app. The age verification is mandatory (due to legal requirements across various jurisdictions) to continue using D&DBeyond.

[last heron]

I did and all my stuff is gone

[dire blade]

You likely are logging in with the wrong account.

[last heron]

Its the same one as before I remember because I was getting emails on that account

[dire blade]

Yeah, see, you could use the same email account for a few of the services that you log into DNDB with, which means you probably picked the wrong one (even though it is the same, correct email address).

It's likely you now have 2 accounts and need to reach out to support to get them merged if there are things on both you want retained.

WOTC accounts are the most recent login type.

But even those are technically a separate site.

But if, for example, you signed in to Twitch through Google, then DDB through Twitch, the site would ultimately send emails to your Google account, but you wouldn’t be able to sign in with that Google account unless you specifically set that up.

Hoping for some help here. Trying to level up my palyer's Dragonborn paladin from 2 to lvl 3. I have all the options selected on DNDbeyond except for homebrew.

When I get to the class page on the site, the only option he has for the lvl up is to select the paladin subclass. The only option avaliable is Oath of Devotion. My player wants to go the Oath of Vengence route. I googled a fix, but that didnt' work.

Any ideas on why it might not be showing up on as an option and how to trouble shoot it?

[fading bramble]

do they own the player's handbook?

[dire blade]

Do you own the PHB or have it shared with you in a campaign?

[charred veldt]

Sorry to bother but are there still plans to add the art for the magic items for exploring Eberron? And the art for the 2 missing monsters? The original book gives Valaara her own full art page and Plasmid shares art with the Claw of…something

Sahuagin Claw of Sha'argon, the Claw is the green thing and the blue thing next to him I’m pretty sure is the actual plasmid

Like that should be the art for Valaara

[near ember]

There was age verification added yesterday (maby they are locked out because of that)
I suggest that they contact customer support

[weary dock]

Thank you

[dapper gazelle]

I am wondering if this is a multiclassing issue, at least for why only Paladin is present. To multiclass a Paladin, i.e., to be able to pick anything else, one needs a STR and CHA of at least 13 each. Does the Dragonborn have at least that much? Until they do, their only level up option will be Paladin.

Note, one also would need 13s in the key stats of classes switched to. So, for example, to switch to a Wizard, one needs 13 on INT, on top of the 13s in STR & CHA just to pick something other than Paladin.

This is a RAW rule that DDB enforces, not something specific that DDB made out of thin air.

To access Oath of Vengeance though, you would need access to the Players Handbook for the version of the class that you selected as mentioned above.

If you have a 2014 Core Rules Paladin, you need the 2014 PH. If you have a Core Rules Paladin, then you need the newer 2024 PH. One way to tell the difference is if you have a Level 1 feature of Divine Sense (which means you have a 2014) or Spellcasting (which means you have a newer 2024).

Hi Im trying to run the Lost mine of Phandelver adventure but cant find any of the maps in the vtt, im looking specifically for the wave echo cave map

[dapper gazelle]

Did you buy the adventure yourself? I have previously found it cannot be shared with you to work in Maps.

[azure wing]

Yes, but its not the shattered obelisk version

This is my library

[dapper gazelle]

thank you all so much

ill run something alike with a mesh of the other maps

I suggest that you contact customer support if it is not working in a couple hours (after you check entitlement again)

[torn crystal]

Yeah, while we release a thing at a certain time, sometimes things are still rolling out. Give it a bit.

[lofty lava]

🙂‍↕️ all good, ty!

[pallid elbow]

I have hard copies of the players handbook and the basic three, in multiple versions.

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need the digital copy on the site to use it there.

Alternatively, you could use the information in your physical book to build that as a homebrew subclass.

[pallid elbow]

Do I have to buy it again digitally or is there something on my hard copy I can scan? I'm struggling to find any references to this. :/

[uneven lantern]

I’m afraid the site has no way to acknowledge your physical copy.

[pallid elbow]

Great reply, thank you. Id say its the standard for the site, and has spell casting at lvl 1? But someone else mentioned needing to own the books digitally and not just physically, so maybe thats my problem?

[pallid elbow]

Of course there isn't. Lamesauce.

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to either:

• Purchase the book on the site.
• Have someone share their digital copy through your shared campaign.
• Use the homebrew system to rebuild those character options.

[pallid elbow]

I appreciate the reply. I'll have to figure out what I want to do. Thank you.

[kind jewel]

Friend bought the Pugilist but its not showing up in Classes to choose from, any ideas?

[verbal creek]

I have the same issue as well.

I'll say let the mods know and wait things out.

[gray swift]

Yeah I got the same thing too 🤔 maybe they just gotta update it in the next day or so

[marble rune]

I know this has been said before but is beyond picking the tortle ac over the monk's unarmored defense. I have 20dex 16 wis... should be 18 AC, but 17 AC is shown as natural armor in the beyond character sheet

[gray swift]

It might have something to do with the tortles AC calculation being unaffected by dex but I could be wrong

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a link to your character? Please make sure their Character Privacy setting is set to Public as well.

[marble rune]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/160681206

its a player's character in my campaign... but

[sleek rune]

logging into my account and it askes me for my country and DoB (which is quite suspicios) but the submit button doesnt work

[torn crystal]

use the format MM/DD/YYYY, include the forward slashes.

For why this is happening, #dnd-announcements message

[sleek rune]

i press it and nothing happens

[sleek rune]

ive dealth with americans before, its the submit button thats not working, i press it and nothing happens

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!
-# cc: @gray swift

[uneven lantern]

That does indeed look like a bug.

[gray swift]

Oh yes it's working now! Thank you very much!

[uneven lantern]

For now, if you click your AC, you should be able to manually adjust it.

[marble rune]

yeah i know i can manual it... i know we had this problem before i wonder if it came back... when stuff got "hashed" and or if they fixed the package version but not the MOMV version

[hardy seal]

So i took the ritual caster on my character at lvl 4, and none of the spells are showing on my character sheet

[vernal fractal]

FYI, the "Roll to DM" option has been returned. It was erroneously removed while doing some unrelated work.

[dense viper]

Awesome

[grave nimbus]

i love when websites add an arbitrary restriction to logging in that straight up doesn't allow you to proceed because it was coded with chewing gum and the idea of a dream. the k-id submit button just blatently doesn't work, and it means i can't access anything related to dnd beyond, marketplace included

[torn crystal]

Several people have reported this, and we're investigating the cause. Some people have had success with the MM/DD/YYYY format, others have had browser extensions that are interacting poorly with the page, so disabling them or trying a different browser has worked.

[soft field]

im sorry to pester again, i think i have found a bug with the pugilist if its not been reported, the feature iron chin reads like a replacement effect but whenever the ac of an armor goes beyond the replacement effect's bonus it switches to using dexterity rather then the unarmored (yes im aware all these come out to ac16 but they're armor combinations that come out to a base 13.)

Uncertain if its intended that way

[mystic urchin]

i am trying to buy pugilist but it keeps giving me an error is anyone else having this issue.?

[edgy oriole]

Are you seeing any error message?

[limber patrol]

(COPY PASTED FROM #homebrew)

howdy howdy. legit just here for pointers bc I want to make my own race that's basically just the MM Harpy. I want it to ave access to the Luring Song spell off-rip, but I don't know how to work that. Can I make it into a spell that I can throw into the race? Or did I miss a tag in the race section?

[uneven lantern]

If you make a homebrew spell, then you can add it to a homebrew species, yeah.

[dapper gazelle]

Also make sure you are connecting with the right login type. If your credentials are Discord, they may not work if you clicked on Google and it is not the same credentials. (You also may not have access to your purchases and characters if you login with the wrong method).

Also, is it possible you are logging in successfully but just cannot access content? With the new k-id requirements, you may need to meet those reqs before accessing things.

Do you get any error message you can tell us about it or send a pic of?

[muted ice]

Hello! Does the team covering Maps have intentions of bringing a stronger automation to the VTT, bringing closer to what you can get with Foundry + Midi?

[rain root]

Yes, I got a tortle monk as well with this issue, so I had to manually adjust the AC.
It's great if this can be fixed! 😄

[edgy oriole]

Not like Foundry no - they are aiming more for a Honda Civic, not F-35 fighter as far as capability. They want it simple and straightforward so that anyone can jump in and start running a game with it. Also we now have #ddb-maps-vtt for feedback and discussions around Maps.

[swift bane]

I noticed that the salty salute feature of the pugilist's piss and vinegar subclass is showing as an attack roll instead of a saving throw on the character sheet.

[crystal urchin]

There is a pretty fun mistake with the Somnolence spell, where it says "if the roll is equal or greater it falls asleep for 1 minute" then later says "if it's equal to or greater it falls asleep for 24 hours instead"

I'm fairly certain that it should be "if the roll is lower than the target HP it sleeps for 1 minute, and if it's equal or greater, it sleeps for 24 hours."

[near ember]

I don't think it is a mistake
It says:
if it is equal to or greater than its current hp it lasts for 1 minute
If it is equal to or greater than its max hp it lasts for 24 hours

[crystal urchin]

oh

I'm blind then

my apologies

[near ember]

No problem
I do think it would be helpful if they added added blank spaces between the effects

[crystal urchin]

I agree, that would improve readability

[gaunt pine]

this might be a dumb question, but how do i get a character to be proficient in modern and futuristic weapons? like what options or feats award proficiency since neither modern nor futuristic firearms are considered simple or martial, at least for the purposes of proficiency?

[dense viper]

Talk it over with your Dm and just manually add the proficiency if they agree

[gaunt pine]

i am the dm. i was asking how you mechanically add it on the sheet, and what options allow it to work, not about if its allowed in a personal game. so, then the only way to do it is to manually add them?

[dense viper]

According to the DMs guid the mondern and futuristic firearms are martial ranged weapons so maybe its just a bug

[gaunt pine]

maybe theres a moderator who knows this answer? is this a bug? i'd ping @mods, but i dont know if thats against etiquette here

ill submit a bug report for now at least

[dire blade]

You only ping the mods when the server is on fire from spammers / scammers or something.

[dense viper]

Dont ping the mods unless the server is on fire.
I saw one of the mods typing but they stopped before sending a message.

[plucky parrot]

I made my font a small as possible and there's still no accept button

That's the very bottom of the terms and policies where there would be something to accept all of it but there's nothing on there and no way to get past it I go to login with Google and it don't load anything or react

[dense viper]

There question was why the auto proficieny wasnt working. And was manually adding it the only way to get it to work

[dire blade]

Hrm, seems responsive and functional to me. https://status.dndbeyond.com/ shows it as good as well. Are you running a VPN or using a browser extension that might interfere or something? I don't have any ideas beyond a problem on your end and not a problem on the site's end.

[golden canopy]

No vpn and i tried with different browsers and still happens to me and to my players. Usually doesn't last much but its frequent. Its some weird dc

Unfortunately I don't know what to suggest. Could be an AWS or Cloudflare issue, or something to that effect.

[cunning lichen]

Hey there! First time I've used a dnd beyond character in a discord game. Is this where I ask how to get that set up?

[dire blade]

This is for questions about the DNDBeyond site itself and how to use it. For actual character discussion about creating a DND character, you should use #character-discussion. So to answer your question, it depends on what your questions are! 🙂

[cunning lichen]

Is there a way to link my dnd character on the site with my game on here?

[dire blade]

Hrm, I assume you mean with Avrae? That might actually be better suited to #ddb-avrae-help. Outside of Avrae, there's no API for DNDBeyond, so no such automations exist. Some third-party apps like Roll20 or FoundryVTT use screen scrapers to get access to character data and 'import' them into their systems, which is probably the closest I can suggest. It really depends a bit on what "game on here" means (ie. PBP or what?).

I actually am not terribly versed in Avrae, so I don't know the extents of what it's capable of, but the folks in that other channel can help.

[crude venture]

When using the DND beyond app, how do I move player characters from one campaign to another? What is the difference between deactivate and remove buttons?

[uneven lantern]

You’ll want the Remove button to take them out of the current campaign.

[charred veldt]

Sorry to keep asking this but will the missing art for Exploring Eberron be added?

[uneven lantern]

Or the players should see a Leave button they can use to do it themselves.

Either way, you’ll then need to send the players the invite link for the new campaign, which they can use to add their characters.

[uneven lantern]

It’s been reported to the devs already. Beyond that, I don’t know what the devs are currently working on or what their next priorities are.

[charred veldt]

Bless thanks Spam, always a blessing!

I've tried clearing my browser cache and also using different browsers however that has not changed anything.

[dense viper]

Idk if this is your issues but the date format needs to be mm/dd/yy

And you need to include the slashes

Yes that was the issue, thanks. I think I could be a little more clear that you need to manually enter the slashes.

[near ember]

[lapis geyser]

is it a known issue that boon of irresistible offense ability score increase does not work?

[near ember]

How is it broken?

[lapis geyser]

it doesnt apply the increase. tried it on a few characters now. even made a copy of it in the homebrew builder, and it doesnt seem to even have the increase

[near ember]

It seems to give you the option between the two, but not the bonus if you choose one of them, interesting

[lapis geyser]

a quick search in this channel and feedback, and im seeing that it used to work, but it was giving the option to choose a different score for the increase and the damage. i guess they "fixed" it by removing the increase altogether

[edgy oriole]

Or just a regression… it happens

[near ember]

Or the saf member said that they fixed it wele not fixing it

[lapis geyser]

whelp, for now i can manually add the increase. should i throw something in #ddb-feedback or is it enough that its in here and a mod has seen it?

[near ember]

Moost of the time it is if a mod replies they sent it to support (if it is a problem)

Hi!
How do I enable an additional class feature in dndbeyond?
I have a homemade class that I would like to have additional feature to be chosen if players want it. I can see the feature in the character builder>optional feature manager, but there is no way to enable it.
What should I do?

Oh found it. There is some weird goind on with the ddb theme and it is a white-on-white checkbox next to the name of the feature....

How do I find a DM since I have no clue on how this server works.

[dire blade]

Read the information in #find-a-game

[livid bough]

Create a campaign then go to the maps vtt. If you have bought the book the map browser will have a section with the maps for that adventure. Add those player maps to the campaign, I would choose the quickplay option. Then go to your library in another window, open the book and scroll to the adventure and your set to go.

[crude venture]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This was extremely informative and hopefully helpful! 😀 I will work on that and check back here if I have any obstacles 👍

hey so my dnd wont let me sign in like the age thing isnt working? how do i fix this because i love this account and i dot want it to be gone forever

Make sure you're using the MM/DD/YYYY formatting. If it doesn't work in your current browser, try a different one.

[dense viper]

You also need to make sure to type the slashes if they don't show up

[lavish sonnet]

thank you!!

i was so scared i would lose my account

[magic token]

I'm not sure if this is the place I should ask for this, but with the homebrew creator, is there a way I can add a spell list to a character via a feat? Specifically, I'm trying to make a feat for something where it gives a Cleric access to the Druid spell list and they count as Cleric spells, similar to how the Divine Sorcerer does it. Is that a thing it can do?

[uneven lantern]

You could do that with a homebrew subclass, but not a feat.

[magic token]

Darn, thank you though!

[native thunder]

I'm trying to build a warlock using the Genie subclass in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, but those options aren't available even though I own the book and have the option to use it clicked.

[dapper gazelle]

A couple of things to try...

1. Is it a digital purchase? Paper copies don't count for content access.
2. Does that book appear on this page?
   https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses
3. Did you try ticking both Expanded Rules and 2014 Expanded Rules in the Home screen of the character editor? If you have ticked none or only one you may not have ticked the one needed to see the class.

-# I have assumed you really do own the book. If it is shared with you, there are additional things needed.

[native thunder]

1. It is a digital purchase
2. The book does appear on the linked page you sent
3. I've tried clicking both options adn each separately

[dapper gazelle]

Hrm. I cannot replicate if those steps don't work for an owned TCE. Once I have the Expanded stuff ticked, I can add Genie for both 2014 and 2024 Warlock. (As I own that book too)

I have to dip then. Good luck!

[loud drift]

Was the book a recent purchase and does the license page linked earlier show that your entitlements are in sync?

[clever jacinth]

I have a bunch of characters who use containers and have lost their coin. I see that an update on Jan 20th caused this. What is the best way for me to reach out to get an update?

[gloomy mantle]

Hi, will the French translation of the mobile app be available soon ?

[hollow flame]

When making a homebrew subclass feature, is there any way to give options to an option?

[uneven lantern]

Technically no.

Some Options might have a Modifier that then grants a subsequent choice.

And Options in one feature can have an Option from another feature as a prerequisite.

(Which is how things like the Elf’s lineage choice + spellcasting ability choice work together to provide the correct spells.)

What is it you’re trying to build, exactly?

[crude venture]

When adding NPC‘s to a campaign from characters that I have built in the D&D beyond app, how do I move them from campaign to campaign?

I have two options of buttons to select create new unassigned character or create premade unassigned character 🤨

Please and thank you! Just under five hours until first role of the campaign 😬

[near ember]

If you have the camping join link you can press that again

[uneven lantern]

You’ll need to remove them from their current campaign, then use the invite link for the new campaign to add them.

[crude venture]

Is there anyway to make it so my players are not able to see the NPC’s?

[uneven lantern]

If you add it to the campaign, everyone will see the name, species, class, and level.

But you could prevent them from viewing the sheet itself by setting Character Privacy to Private.

If you want to keep everything hidden, the only option is to not add it to the campaign.

[crude venture]

My initial thought was… Adding the NPC‘s to the campaign, and then just deactivating them 🤨 can players see deactivated characters on the campaign page?

[crude venture]

Using this method, I could just wait until endgame to add the NPC that the players decide to add to their party thrumming emoji

[near ember]

Yes players can see those

[daring arch]

I’m having trouble with some of the magical secrets spells not showing up on my spell lists. Specifically from some of the more recent books. Is there anything I could be checking for to resolve this?

[crude venture]

All right 😀 thank you for the clarification! I just wasn’t sure what my players were able to see on the campaign page versus what is displayed on my page 🤨 all of this was extremely helpful! Thank you all again

[near ember]

Can you give an example?

[daring arch]

Of course. Take for example, Dazing Blast from Grim Hollow Player’s Guide I believe? I can confirm I have purchased the book as I have used it on other characters that are not bards. It’s a second level spell learned by wizards, warlocks and sorcerers. However, the spell is not obtainable as seen here.

[near ember]

Can you check if partnered content from grimm hollows is turned onn for that character

[loud drift]

is the bard a 2014 or a 2024 version, and is the grim hallow book written to the same ruleset?

[daring arch]

2024 bard from a 2024 book using 2024 spells

[near ember]

It is also missing for me in the 2024 bard can you please list all that are missing soo staf can make a report

We're aware, trying to get it fixed.

[spiral dome]

Hey, I'm making a custom subclass that has an "Eldritch Invocation" type of feature, and I've mostly worked through it via giving it some options and adding options at certain levels. No problem there.
The trouble I'm having is adding an equivalent to "Lessons of the First Ones" and giving a limited feat option. Or really, any feat option. I can't seem to add selectables under the "Invocation" itself.

Do I just add individual options to the feature itself, one for each Origin Feat?

Some progress - I can get the "Choose a Feat" option... any way to restrict this to origin feats?

[uneven lantern]

Change the modifier subtype to “Choose an Origin Feat”.

[spiral dome]

That doesn't appear as an option.

[vast reef]

So I have this third level paladin and for thunderous smite it says you deal an additional 1d6 damage when you hit with a smite on your melee attack and then lists you deal 2d6 damage in the description. Is it intended to essentially say you deal 3d6 damage and you could potentially force a creature to go prone? Is this a mistake or designed like this?

[hollow flame]

Made a Species trait and wanted to make options inside an option. I somehow managed to do it, but I have no idea how. The Option has modifiers, but what is shown on the second list isn't the modifier list. What could this be?

[dapper gazelle]

2d6 is correct in the RAW. This would be a bug.
-# and yes, a STR save is required for the target to not go prone.

[dapper gazelle]

A lot of DDB's homebrew choices are designed to support existing functionality. In this case, My best guess is you have found functionality used to support breath weapons such as the Dragonborn.

[north junco]

Anyone knows how to amend the Range for a homebrew magic item (ranged weapon)?

[tranquil mason]

Can Someone help me with a species homebrew? I am trying to add an Ability Score Increase, but it isn't adding to the score. Any tips would be gladly appreciated.

• Type: Bonus
• Subtype: Strength Score
• Fixed Value: 1

[tranquil mason]

[keen pike]

I need help with a homebrew feat im making. Im trying to add a unique version of fear as a action instead of as a spell. It works for the most part but I cant get it to be a saving throw. The thing is labeled as a to hit and I cant change it. Also I wanted the feat to add 2 points to dex but its not working

[latent linden]

Good evening, can someone clarify as to what, in DDB is “official content” for character creation?

[willow loom]

anybody having issues with ddb or is it a local issue?

[dire blade]

Anything in the Core Rules, Expanded Rules, 2014 Core Rules, or 2014 Expanded Rules:

[hybrid nova]

Also, while not considered current/adventurers league legal, Legacy/Noncore was made by WotC as well. It's just a bit more of a gray area compared to the other categories. As always, consult your DM for what's allowed.

Also Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, which falls under Critical Role Partnered Content was also published by WotC. Most consider it official, but it could be considered a gray area as well.

[latent linden]

Thank you all for your responses.

Now, my problem is, with core rules and expanded rules for 2014 and 2024 selected, I only get one option for my level 3 subclass. IE.. monk, order of the open hand; cleric, life; rouge, thief.

What else can I check, change or do?
Thanks again. 💪

[edgy oriole]

You have to own the books (or be in a D&DBeyond campaign with content sharing and someone in that group owns the books) to be able to access more than the SRD/free materials

?books

[loud sedge]

Accessing Content on D&D Beyond

There are four ways to access content on D&D Beyond that you may have in your physical books:

1. Purchase the full digital book from the marketplace
2. Purchase a digital/physical bundle from the marketplace
3. Join a D&D Beyond campaign with someone who already owns the book where content sharing has been enabled
4. Use the homebrew tools to copy the content from your physical book into D&D Beyond (Note: Do not publish any content copied in this way; it is for personal use only)

[dapper gazelle]

If you do own one and are still not seeing the subclass, your base class might need to change to see it.

[pseudo sail]

Does D&D Beyond normally call your Legal Birthdate invalid and refuse to let you log in anymore?

Also heading into work now, so will have to check back here later for response.

[near ember]

I think it is because around a week ago dnd beyond added age verification to the website (don't ask why)
I recommend that you contact customer support

[heavy flume]

I need a help with dnd beyond.

I was making character using site with 2014. But when i genersted pdf i have about 50 spells but my character is only lv 1

I only selected 8 spells (3 cantrop and 5 prepared including ritual)

[fervent aspen]

It'll do that with the PDF. You can either edit it to fill the dots for your prepared spells, or list them in the Notes section.

[misty glacier]

I have a question - given the release of the pugilist, gunslinger and the monster hunter, when are we going to see the apocathary from drakkenheim on DndBeyond? It was released by ghost fire before the monster hunter, which was also a ghost fire class.

[edgy oriole]

There's been no announcement if/when Sebastian Crows Guide to Drakkenheim will be coming to D&DBeyond (if it ever is)

If it is coming, we don't know.

[dapper gazelle]

Some classes know a certain number of spells and other classes can change spells every day from their entire list.

Cleric, which you have created here, is a class that allows the changing of spells every day so DDB is listing all of your level 1 spells on your list so each day you can tick off the ones you will be able to cast for that day.

[heavy flume]

Thats a broken class 🤣

Its like all you eat buffee

[tardy plinth]

Hey so Im trying to make an account and Im stuck on this screen. Anywhere I try to go to sign up takes me to this page and the submit button doesnt work. Typing out the date in the format it tells me too says it's "invalid" and typing it the other way does nothing

Clicking the "sign up" button at the bottom takes me back to the front and no matter where I go I get stuck on this screen

[dapper gazelle]

There are two somewhat annoying requirements in play here.

• use mmddyy for the order of the date
• use slashes between
  -# As a 🇨🇦 Canadian 🇨🇦 who grew up with a different standard, this way of doing things always personally throws me off.

[tardy plinth]

Are you serious I got it

I SWEAR I tried the slashes already

[dapper gazelle]

Apparently, they're working on text to explain this on those screens but as I understand it, it's still in development and noone has given us a timeline yet other than maybe, "soon".

Anyway, glad you got it.

[tardy plinth]

Also real quick Im trying to create one of my characters in the builder, I picked tiefling but I cant learn the infernal language? Im confused

[hybrid nova]

If you're using '24 rules, Infernal is not a "Standard" language. It isn't in '14 rules either, I don't think, but '14 Tieflings granted Infernal. '24 Tieflings just give you a choice of standard language, as no species grants languages anymore.

[dapper gazelle]

The builder is essentially following the Rules as Written. However, as noted in the book, your DM can allow certain other languages to be available such as Infernal for a Tiefling as you are asking about here so you can Ask Your DM. If they tell you that you can, while DDB won't support that directly, you can just leave one of the ones you get here blank and manually add the language using DDB's functionality that will allow you to add a language. In the field related to the source of the language, just list something to remind you that it came as a substitute for one of your starting languages.

[uneven lantern]

Make sure to write it as MM/DD/YY (slashes included).

[near ember]

The background druskenvald dweller (TCMP1) lets you only choose between the origin feats from only the players handbook and crooked moon instead of all origin feats, is this intended?

[dapper gazelle]

Are there Origin Feats anywhere else? Or is this a future proofing question?

[near ember]

It says choose an origin feats (it doesn't mention restrictions)
I have exes to heroes of fearun and grimm hollows player guide in that campaign (which both contain origin feats)

[dapper gazelle]

What's the wording on Druskenvald? I cannot seem to find it in my existing resources.

[near ember]

Feat: Feat: Choose One Origin Feat
https://www.dndbeyond.com/backgrounds/477322-druskenvald-dweller

[near ember]

Found the reason why it is only those options (there is a note in the background chapter from crooked moon that says you choose between those)
Why was that soo hard to find

[dapper gazelle]

It's interesting though. Based on the display you sent, it would appear it is open to all Origin feats. But yeah, if the text limits it, then I guess it does.

[near ember]

It could have been intended eater way (I know the one for cthulhu by torchlight is only the feats from that book soo there is no easy replacement for custom background outside of homebrew)
And there is a typo in the description of that background I notice whele looking for the answer

[pseudo sail]

Fun story: I didn't know I had to use the "/" in between the numbers. Never had to for like, years since most sites separate them for you automatically with a slash or a dash.

My Thanks! No Customer Service needed thankfully!

Well, unless you count here than it was of great help!

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, they’re working to improve that. 😅

[keen pike]

Anyone able to help me fix a homebrew feat?

[dense viper]

What are you trying to do and what all do you have so far?

You are more likely to get help if you just say what you need help.

[keen pike]

Im trying to make a feat with a special version of fear using the custom actions and it keeps wanting to make it a to hit instead of a save. Im also trying to get it to add 2 to dex but it wont

[dense viper]

Can you show a screenshot of what you have?

[keen pike]

When I get home I can

[north junco]

I created a magic item from Double-Bladed Scimitar and added these modifiers:

However, the Weapon Mastery didn't work. What did I do wrong?

[uneven lantern]

That modifier means a character can use the halberd’s weapon mastery.

[dense viper]

That looks right to me. Does the character you tested it with have Weapon Mastery with Halberds?

[north junco]

yes, I specifically added Weapon Mastery for Halberd for the character

[uneven lantern]

Pretty sure they’re trying to add the Cleave property to their own weapon instead.

[uneven lantern]

That’s not how it works.

[north junco]

sorry, not sure I understand what you mean..

[uneven lantern]

Halberd mastery will only be shown if you equip a halberd.

This is not a halberd.

[north junco]

how can I add the Cleave weapon mastery to my Magic Item (weapon), that I created based on the "Double-Bladed Scimitar" then?

I need specifically 2d4 damage - that's why Double-bladed scimitar

[uneven lantern]

I’m not sure you can.

[north junco]

what's the point of this modification in the magic item creator? What does it do?

[uneven lantern]

It gives the character weapon mastery with halberds.

[north junco]

ohh!

I see. Thanks.

It's a bummer though

[uneven lantern]

Try removing Attack Range.

Since this isn’t an attack.

[dense viper]

So to confrim you are trying to give your players an action that is a DC 15 CHA save but its showing on the character sheet as a to hit attack?

[keen pike]

Yea

[dense viper]

Try doing what Spam suggested. They know alot about the homebrew tools

[keen pike]

I removed the range and it still shows as to hit

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on your sheet.

[dense viper]

If after 15mins it still doesnt work. You could try making a homebrew spell that does what you want then have your feat give that spell.

[keen pike]

Ok ill wait and will report back in a few

[uneven lantern]

Looking closer, though, this doesn’t seem like one where I’d use Display As Attack at all.

If there’s nothing to roll, there’s not much point in it.

I’d just put the DC in the snippet and call it a day.

[arctic patio]

I don't believe Pugilist's Iron Chin calculates AC correctly since Rules as Written is should allow Studded leather +3 to increase your AC

it does not atm

[verbal creek]

It only works if you're not wearing armor and not using a shield.

[arctic patio]

Iron Chin states that light armor is permitted

which is why im so confused

[verbal creek]

Read it, yeah. Tell the mods about it in #ddb-feedback

[balmy belfry]

is there a toggle to represent mage armor in DDB character sheets?

[dire blade]

If you click on the Armor Class icon in the character sheet, it brings up this panel. You can add an "Additional Magic Bonus" of 3 to add Mage Armor in when you are Unarmored.

[balmy belfry]

Yea, found that. Was hoping for a check mark on the spell when casting or something.

[dire blade]

No, that does not exist by default. You could create a homebrew item that gives you Mage Armor's AC when you equip / activate it.

[uneven lantern]

There’s instructions here on how to create such an item, if you’re curious:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76575-how-to-homebrew-your-own-buff-system?page=2#c38

[dapper gazelle]

Bladesong does not seem to be adding to AC when you Invoke it. Can post additional details laater, but immeidately, you might be able to see it here. AC is not incluiding INT.
EDIT: Removed link even though it is now campaign only after fix.

[uneven lantern]

Works fine for me. Can you make your character public so we can take a look?

[dapper gazelle]

Sorry, I was running. Character is public now.

It clearly says it should be adding +4 to AC in the Features section, but the 18 AC when looked at doesn't include it. The +4 on Concentration, the Speed bonus, & Advantage on Dex Acrobatics all seem to be reflected.

[uneven lantern]

It adds an unarmored AC, which doesn’t apply here because the character is wearing armor.

If you unequip your armor, you should see the expected AC.

[dapper gazelle]

Ah, is that because of how Mage Armour was added?

[uneven lantern]

Yep

[dapper gazelle]

That I should be able to fix. Cool.

Any idea why the INT for attacks isn't working either?

The actions all say +7 which is DEX+Prof.

[uneven lantern]

Click on one of those weapons and you should see a “Use INT” option there in the sidebar.

[dapper gazelle]

Oh wow, there it is!

Huge thanks. OK, questionss done!

[uneven lantern]

☝️ And if you set up your Mage Armor like this, that should fix the issue.

[dapper gazelle]

I think I already built one previously that my player just isn't using. 🙂
-# Yeah, with my item equipped and the INT box ticked everything is working!

[near ember]

I wonder why you don't get the score increase from the umbral human suptypes if you choose a 2024 background
(They get an additional +1 if you choose a 2014 background)

[dapper gazelle]

So, the Umbral Human subtype may have specific wording that can be explored but my guess is that DDB is just following the RAW in the 2024 PH that tells us to ignore all ASI from species:

Similarly, species in older books include ability score increases. If you’re using a species from an older book, ignore those increases and use only the ones given by your background.

[near ember]

Oke

[north junco]

What does "Speed Reduction" modifier does in Homebrew creator?

[uneven lantern]

Any time I have to ask those kinds of questions, my first stop is to check the magic item listings. You can open the advanced filters and use the Effect Type and Effect Subtype options to search by modifier. Then you can compare the actual rules text of the items that use it.

Here’s all the items that use the Speed Reduction modifier, for example:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items?filter-effect-type=24&filter-partnered-content=t

[north junco]

wow! That's an awesome trick. Thanks a lot!!!

[near ember]

What are the filters named lang, immunity do not use, proficiency DELETE-double bladed scimitar for?
what dous bonus shield ac on dex save do?
And what is the difference between twice proficient and experience?

[ebon ridge]

Could someone please explain D&D? I'm very new to it and not a native English speaker unfortunately!🙏

[dapper gazelle]

Best to ask in #dnd-newcomers or #dnd-discussion . This area is mainly to support people using a specific web based toolset for the game.

At a very general level though, it is collaborative storytelling in a medieval fantasy setting with magic and monsters, where one person sets the scene and decides most things and the remaining participants play the adventure with each playing a single character within the gaming world.

[uneven lantern]

Expertise will prompt the user to choose one of their existing skill proficiencies. Twice Proficiency will let them choose any skill.

I’m not familiar with the others there.

[near ember]

Oke

[near ember]

I am pretty shure the first 3 are typos or mistakes

[ebon ridge]

Thank you for explaining

[lofty holly]

I noticed a slight word layout difference in font of magic on my sheet. One picture is from June 2025 and the other is from today. Just wanted to make sure this is normal

The first one is from today

[uneven lantern]

What’s your concern there, specifically?

[lofty holly]

I just want to make sure everything is working as intended. Although yeah, this is a silly thing to worry about. There is level difference between the two screenshots

[uneven lantern]

Are you just referring to the difference in the number of sorcery points, or something else?

I’m still not sure what it is you’re actually worried about here. 😅

[lofty holly]

"Additional" begins the second line in one picture, while "gain" begins the second line in the other. The difference in word wrapping.

[uneven lantern]

I wouldn’t worry about it.

The important thing is whether the text is fully visible.

As long as the text is correctly filling the available space and correctly wrapping when it needs to, then it’s fine.

[lofty holly]

Got it. Thank you Spamandtuna, I appreciate it!

[barren barn]

Is anyone else having troubles with their 2014 artificer character sheets? Across 3 different sheets (2 mine, 1 from a player) the infusions section seems to be completely busted after some recent change

Is there a reason why the "Prismari Student" Background from Strixhaven does not have access to the Harp musical instrument for proficiency?

[shut flicker]

Does anyone here know how to use homebrew from DnD Beyond? I don't understand the class features and other stuff. I need a guide on how to understand them properly so I know what I'm going to do when I use homebrew. I'm trying to get support with the DDB "markup" language for custom homebrewed items

[near ember]

1 There are tutorials for the basics on https://dndbeyond-support.wizards.com/hc/en-us/articles/7747241293844-Forums-Thread-Everything-you-need-to-know-about-Homebrew-Tutorials-FAQ
2 you can copy something that works and check how it was done there
3 if you still can't figure something out you can ask a specific question in this channel

[shut flicker]

Thank you. Is there a homebrew guide for subclasses?

[near ember]

I don't think soo or someone misplaced it (wait for a mod to wake up)

[shut flicker]

Ok. Thank you for your help

[shut flicker]

I have questions. What should I put in Arcane Trickster for "Know All Spells" and "Additional Specific Spells"?

[near ember]

Know all spells:
no: the subclass needs to learn spells (example wizard)
Yes: the subclass can choose anny spell to prepare (like the other casters)
Additional spell list:
You choose the classes spelllist your subclass has exes to (wizard for the wizard spell list)
Additional specific spells
You subclass knows these spells and can learn them (you want to give a druid the option to choose fireball)

[shut flicker]

I think I should pick no since the Arcane Trickster doesn't know all spells. It only has access to spells that I prepare

[near ember]

The following thing only works on computer or laptop!

There is a ? Next to moost options you can click that and it will explain what an option dous

[shut flicker]

I'm on mobile. Is there anyway to get a free spell automatically after getting to a certain level using a custom class because after getting a level. Arcane Trickster gets a free spell mage hand in level 3 plus 2 spellslot/cantrips

[near ember]

Add Class Feature, additional spell list or add class Feature spells (if you want to add options)

[shut flicker]

I am already in Class Feature but there's no additional spell list there

[near ember]

Fill out all options and press create class Feature than scroll down

[shut flicker]

Got it. What is the feature type for Arcane Trickster?

[near ember]

Granded: new feature
Additional: more options for an existing feature
Replacement: replaces an Feature you gat at a lower level

[uneven lantern]

If you want the player to get the feature automatically, use Granted.

The others are for TCOE’s optional class features.

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

[shut flicker]

Thanks everyone. I'm done and I gtg

[coarse lion]

Hii I just bought the dnd playbook 2024 and it charged my card and I never got the playbook

It said something went wrong but it still charged me

Ok chat I got the reversal

[keen pike]

how do i get the add 2 to dex to show up on the character? its granted by my homebrew feat i used Bonus>choose an ability score to increase by 2

[uneven lantern]

You’ll also need to set the Fixed Value to 2.

Note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on your sheet, too.

[earnest rampart]

is there a way to disable a single sourcebook from character creation, I'm wanting to disable one expanded rules book from the campaign I'm running and the toggle switch is all or none

[dense viper]

There isn't a way to disable books for use during character creation.

The toggle switch just makes it to where your players cant read those books

[earnest rampart]

is this going to be a feature in the future?

[dense viper]

Only the devs would know.

Im just a member of the community so I don't know much of the behind the scenes stuff.

[earnest rampart]

any idea how to get in touch with them? i see on the forum this requested back in 2020

[dense viper]

Its been mentioned before so im sure the mods have passed the knowledge of the want for such a feature along.

[raw inlet]

Having an issue with the homebrew side of the character creator. Using Dragonborn as a basis, its still showing the metallic and chromatic options instead of the new options for ancestry even though I deleted the chromatic and metallic options from the requisite trait page

[dapper gazelle]

Did you wait 10 to 15 minutes? Refresh page?

[raw inlet]

Tried refreshing and making sure I saved the main page, and I did see the bit about there being a caching issue so I will look again in a few minutes

[raw inlet]

ok, caching issue

all good

[vernal fractal]

This is something we're aware of, and we want too. There is a future project we're in the very early stages of planning that building this sort of feature fits well into.

[near ember]

How do I make a feat that alows you to choose 1 weapon mastery and 1 weapon proficiency (choose a weapon proficiency dousn't include partnered content)?

[dapper gazelle]

I remain hopeful that we will eventually have a clear cache (or selective clear cache) but I can also see why WotC may feel that will increase their hosting costs and might flinch from greater user control of that. The dream lives though.

[vernal fractal]

There are two hard problems in computer science: naming, caching, and off by one errors.

[uncut pewter]

Hi, how can i add homebrew spells made by others to my homebrew subclass?

[lament rock]

im working on a homebrew sorcerer subclass, but for some reason spells from expanded sourcebooks (like borrowed knowledge - strixhaven) are not showing up. is this normal?

[dense viper]

Do you own the strixhaven source book? If not then that would be why it isnt showing up.

[lament rock]

i don't but my friend shares content with me. would i need to get a subscription + have them join my campaign for it to show?

[dense viper]

You can only use content you own in homebrew. Shared content doesnt work

[little plume]

What handbook should I choose if my charecter is a druid?

[edgy oriole]

I'd start with the free basic rules (check the pinned messages in #dnd-newcomers). If you like D&D well enough, then consider buying the Players Handbook for more character options.

[little plume]

I mean like, on the website

[edgy oriole]

Then pick whatever looks fun for you.

If you want more feedback about a character build, check with the folks in #character-discussion

[fallow kraken]

how do i make a sense scale with level but separate from subclass features without adding features that will show up on the display page?

[dense viper]

There isnt a way to change Eldritch Knight from a 3rd caster to a full caster is there?

[fallow kraken]

marking features as "additional" hides them but makes them not do anything

[dense viper]

Marking them as additional makes them optinal. If you want something to change based at a higher level. Set it to granted, Name it the same as the feature you are replacing and give it the higher sense and level requirement. When they are at that level the system will give them the higher level one.

[fallow kraken]

do i need to make it have the same description?

[dense viper]

You can change it to the higher sense. but just the name being the same should be fine

[fallow kraken]

doesnt seem to

give me a moment

[dense viper]

It can take 15 mins for homebrew changes to take effect

[fallow kraken]

every time i change something the page itself changes quickly

2nd open hand technique was 20 feet of blindsight as a test

[dense viper]

Im talking about it can take up to 15 mins to show on a charcter sheet

[fallow kraken]

i get that

im just trying to change the display page

[dense viper]

What i had you do wont show on that page.

[fallow kraken]

well im trying to get this thing publishable and its blindsight changes with the monks movement bonus and i need to be able to increase it between features without people being able to see extra filler thats bumping up the blindsight

[dense viper]

If you are just wanting your players to use it you dont have to publish it. In fact it is recommend not to publish it if you would still be making changes to it

[fallow kraken]

no, i want to put this on the dnd beyond homebrew page

did i not get that across clearly?

[dense viper]

No you did not

[fallow kraken]

sorry for that

but i do still need help

[dense viper]

Im not going to be of much help since im being called to bed. But you could look for something official that does what you are wanting and see how its done then take that info and make it work with what you need.

Also you will need a different name beside "COPY_OF_Way of the Open Hand"

[short adder]

I hope this is the right place to ask.

I have a Ring of Spell Storing. I have added it to my character. I have equipped it. I have attuned to it.

Is it possible, and how, to add spells to it, such that they become a thing I can track and cast inside D&D Beyond?

[near ember]

Whit homeBrew

[short adder]

Take a basic RoSS and homebrew it to add spell slots?

[near ember]

I think making a feat works better because than you can change the spells whenever you want

[short adder]

That's an interesting idea. Thanks

[supple drum]

In dndbeyond, rage still applies to your attack despite whether or not you're using DEX or STR. Why's this?

[dapper gazelle]

I think it is a bug. They probably assumed Barbarians would have a higher STR than DEX so may not have noticed Rage was applying if DEX was higher for a Versatile weapon.

From what I can tell, it at least knows not to add it to the DEX attack of a Longbow.

[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.

[dense viper]

Do you have legacy turn on? With the release of Phandelver and below. Lost mines became legacy content

Oh, that was it. i feel dumb, lol. Thank you!

[serene mesa]

Hello, i’m about to start a dnd campaign and I wanted to pick a barbarian cause everyone picked a spellcaster and I wanted to be the tank but I noticed that they just added a revised Pugilist class and I wanted to know if it is worth it or is it too “dangerous”, i’m not an expert player and I dont wanna just die randomly. I also never played barbarian.

[fading bramble]

Ask your DM if you can play Pugilist. Also, this channel is for help with DnDBeyond. I suggest checking out #dnd-newcomers

[serene mesa]

Sorry I asked here cause it was specifically added to DnD beyond like a week ago. My dm is ok with it btw

[loud drift]

Right, but this channel is for getting support with the website or mobile app specifically. People from the community over in #third-party would be the most helpful with pugilist questions otherwise #character-discussion is a great place to iron out details.

Is there way to make this work properly in Homebrew;
I have a spell, that deals 2d8+4 damage, and I want it to scale with spell slot levels by 1d8+2.

it is getting the 1d8 part, but can't seem to get the +2 in.

There may be a way but I would add Beyond tends to support things that are possible in official rules. As a result, if you can find a something with similar progression, you can make a copy and see what they did. I would suggest one, but I can't think of a feature that progresses like that to suggest it.

[lost oasis]

i believe there is just a poorly coded display error going on

it does not show the +DAM scaling properly on the character page, but does add it correctly to a rolled total damage. still testing

[rose shell]

You probably solved it by now, but if not (and if anyone searches for the same solution):
Try using 2 upcast modifiers. One adding only the dice, one adding just the static +2. Works for me.

How can I choose an origin feat when choosing custom background in 5.5e?

[sage compass]

hi, I was trying out a Blood hunter, Dampier with the Vampire survivor background... and no starting gear option will load for me

[near ember]

You can't atm (outside of homebrew)

[sage compass]

you can go into manage feats on the character sheet and just give yourself one tho after the character has been crated

[near ember]

Is 2014 rules turned onn?

[sage compass]

everything was turned on

[uneven lantern]

There where it says “Choose EQUIPMENT or GOLD”, click Equipment.

[sage compass]

I feel like a fool... all my other characters just had the list ready to pick
thank you

[lost oasis]

I did exactly that, without any luck. It seemed to work at one point, but stopped working.

i also tried with a seperate Modifer for the static

[lost oasis]

it either will add the 1dx per level ,or the +x per level, but not both

[dapper gazelle]

Did you confirm after adding that it saved? Some people forget to hit Save after a change.

Waited 5 to 10 minutes for homebrew to activate? DDB caches. It can be frustrating to wait.

Did you remove and re-add the item? DDB saves the state of the item when you added it. To get it to update, you often have to remove it and re-add. I also have to refresh my character to see the newer version. Adding a revision helps with this because if your character says 1.15 but your editor saved 1.16, you know you have the old one.

[lost oasis]

i guess i can start doing revision chains and see if that helps

[dapper gazelle]

It really helps me when I am frustrated because sometimes it is hard to know if DDB is really using what you think it should be using.

How do you use a homebrew species when creating a character?

[dapper gazelle]

You have to add the species to your collection. You then have to also tick Homebrew in the Home tab of the character.

I believe if you do both, it should appear. But you might also need to tick 2014 or Core so the system knows how to handle your L1 ASIs.

Homebrew Collection is this list. If it doesn't appear here, you have not added it.

[slate arch]

It's a species I created and published

[dapper gazelle]

Yeah I know. 2024 handles species ASIs different than 2014.

Basically, 2024 ignores them, while 2014 uses them as indicated. The character Creator would need to know which one to do.

Example... Here is Black Wolfkind that I added to my homebrew collection...

[slate arch]

I have it added to my collection, and I have homebrew character options selected. I'm wondering if it has something to do with how I created it, because I can use homebrew subclasses on the same character, but the species doesn't show.

[dapper gazelle]

Unless you are missing something in what you built or it is in your Homebrew Creations but not also in your Homebrew Collection, adding a homebrew species is pretty basic once it is created. As long as it is in the collection and Homebrew is ticked, if it isn't working, the created homebrew may have the issue.

The Collection was a big one for me because I made that mistake with my first homebrew species. I only had it in Creation and had not added it to Collection. Also, we have had multiple reports here of bugged species that do not appear so you may want to verify what you created.

Also, if you had not tested it working yet, probably should not be publishing. Publishing is intended for working and hopefully tested for balance homebrew.

How do I get my characters to print out on 2024 character sheets? I have other 2014 characters saved but when I create a character with 2024 rules only it still exports to the 2014 sheet. Is there not a toggle option that could be added to the creation set up so that this is not such an issue. I have read multiple solutions and none of them have worked. Very frustrating!

[loud drift]

Currently it only exports to 2014 format. For a 2024 format you'll have to get the blank PDF and manually fill it out.

[harsh schooner]

hello, i was curious on how to mess with the clerics channel divinity charges? im making a subclass that i want to have one extra channel divinity charge when it first gets one, or potentially it gets two every time another domain gets one.

[shadow plume]

So I am trying to create a homebrew monster where their health points is tied to the caster's level. (i.e. if the caster is level 5, and the multiplier is 5, making it 25hp). How would I go about making this happen, if possible?

[lament spire]

i mean just do a set health then every level they would get +5

so say their base health is 10. then that would mean +5 per lvl.

[honest path]

hello, I'm new to dnd and I really need help making my character sheet
