[round bough]

but i could help you

[loud drift]

If you're needing help using the character editor, make sure to check the box for help text and it will do it's best to walk through the options. If you're struggling with a physical sheet check #learn-to-play and follow up any questions you might still have in #dnd-newcomers . Otherwise feel free to pop into #character-discussion if you need help ironing out ideas

[honest path]

im unfortunately a visual learner and thought it was a good idea to make a magic using shifter

[round bough]

allow me to assist you

[honest path]

I would appreciate that

[round bough]

so

lets begin

[round bough]

so your gonna wanna go to dnd beyond

characters

create a character

as you said your a visual learner, send screenshots as you go

[honest path]

I tried using the website however my race was not available, weretiger

[round bough]

ahhh i see

so

you see

dnd beyond is up to some bs

you need to spend around 15-20$ to buy a book that contains the content u want for your character

or if your dm owns the book, that works too

[honest path]

Sadly not, they're evil for that. I tri3d

hold on

[round bough]

well

[honest path]

Sorry I was on my tablet, yes so I wanted to try it by hand. Using the download able sheet but was confused. I was using the traits I googled but was confused on implementing everything if that makes sense

[round bough]

unfortunately

[round bough]

oh no no no no

you dont download the sheet

you use the on-website step-by-step character builder

[round bough]

unfortunately you have to pick something free or pray 20$

it sucks

[honest path]

So if I were to use an already picked race. Since they are humanoid could I pick a human the customize the stats so they are more accurate?

[round bough]

explain what you mean by customizing the stats

[honest path]

So basically, since humans have much lower stats in abilities. Could I raise them to reflect the race i have

[stable oyster]

I did a level up on my barb with fighter and took great weapon fighting style. I changed my mind and instead went straight barb. The problem is that the great weapon fighting style still seems to have been applied. I have tried to down level and take fighter again with a different fighting style. I have tried to down level barb a few times as well and seems to stick. Any suggestions on how to fix this.
Here is the character link if that helps or is needed. https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/138967033

Solved the issue was an issue with roll20. Fixed by reinstalling the extension.

[dapper gazelle]

Is there a way to get Boon of the Night Spirit's "Shadowy Form" resistances to show on the sheet other than in Features & Traits? Even if it's not always on, I would prefer to see it so I am reminded in the Defenses section.

[harsh schooner]

is there seriously no way to have a cleric subclass grant extra uses of channel divinity? ive been going in circles for a bit.

[dapper gazelle]

So, DDB often supports things that are possible in more official rules. optimally, you'd want an existing feature that does what you want and then make a copy of that and see how they set it up. If nothing exists that does not that, DDB coders may have had no reason to program such things.

[slow crystal]

Question: does anyone know how to setup a "enspelled staff" specifically the spell it gives

[dapper gazelle]

What makes you say the Great Weapon Fighting style is there? I don't see it listed anywhere on the sheet including on the Halberd where it would normally be applied as it affects its damage.

What am I missing? Is it there somewhere on yours that is not showing with the link you sent?

[stable oyster]

It seems like it might be a roll20 issue not dnd beyond

It is still really strange only impacts weapons that GWF would impact.

[wicked vale]

Guys i got an email from ddb about the humblebundle, if i buy it do I get those books on ddb?

[dapper gazelle]

RAW, no. But, you can Ask Your DM. They might allow you a different rolling method if they agree with your belief. Humans are pretty decent in 2024 and weren't that bad in 2014 either so I'm not sure your DM will agree but you can try.

[wicked vale]

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/forgotten-realms-vault-wizards-coast-books?utm_source=wotc&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=forgottenrealms&utm_content=email&utm_term=newsletter

(The humble bundle is advertised below)

[stable oyster]

I have no clue but I did fix it. I just fixed it by uninstalling the roll20 extension and installing it again. Thanks for the help!

[dapper gazelle]

I don't think any of those 40 books are on D&D Beyond. Even if they are and access would be granted on D&D Beyond, they would have been upfront about it as that would be a huge selling feature for HumbleBundle.

[wicked vale]

I feel like they are purposely vague about it to jebait people because why would DDB be the ones sending the advertisement out for it and not Wizards?

[dapper gazelle]

Looks like it's not on Beyond... If you read the expanded section on the right side, it says this:

Read them anywhere. The ebooks in this bundle are available in ePub format, so they work on your computer, e-readers, iPads, cell phones, and a wide array of mobile devices! Instructions and a list of recommended reading programs can be found here.

[violet fiber]

Because charity is good for PR?

[wicked vale]

yeahh i saw that after but wanted to clarify here cause that also looked like a standard e-book copypasta for their bundles, what threw me is who sent the advertisement.

I'm pretty new but I've been under the impression that DDB are linked to wizards but separate.
Kind of like Activision and World of Warcraft.
So like Activision owns Blizzard and Blizzard owns WoW.
I wouldn't expect WoW to send out a newsletter advertising somemthing that would typically be part of the WoW game/platform, but it's actually something completely seperate for Activision. (its 3am this is the best analogy I could come up with)

[dapper gazelle]

WotC purchased D&D Beyond a while back. They use it to sell physical assets and their D&D Digital assets that we tend to associate them with usually. While one would think they would be all linked, they seem to operate differently as buying one doesn't automatically get you the other as one can see with the need to purchase a "bundle" when you want both a physical copy and a digital copy or not getting digital access when you purchase a paper copy.

If they're promoting this HumbleBundle thing, I cannot tell you for sure if it's a paid promotion or whether D&D Beyond is being expanded to support these things. I can tell you in Organized Play circles, there is talk of the newest OP program having some stuff on Beyond, but in what form it will be in and whether it will be a similar distribution to what you just got sent, I couldn't tell you offhand.

To some extent, we're all finding out together as WotC continues to expand their digital presence.

[wicked vale]

what does OP stand for? Sorry?

[dapper gazelle]

Oh, sorry, OP = Organized Play.

Wizards has a few of these campaigns. There is a relatively new one and it has become clear that Wizards is willing to embrace more DDB for OP, in this case possibly in distribution of the content. Previously, content for OP campaigns was distributed elsewhere.

[wicked vale]

I haven't felt this stupid in a while lol, but when you say Organised Play what do you mean? I would have thought that just meant pre-planning a session but it's not working in this context

From what I understand when it comes to actual play there are premade adventures like Dragon Delves. And then there are a load of sourcebooks where people can homebrew(?) or make up their own adventures?

I use DDB as a new player because it does a lot of the finicky stuff for me, like helping me and my friends make characters and explain things and keep everything together + the VTT is really cool

[dapper gazelle]

It is a structured set of rules that trumps even the DM. This helps to create a more expected table experience and allows players to be able to play with many DMs with the same characters as long as they comply with the central rules.

It uses the official Wizards content as well as community content, again created under restricted guidelines.

[wicked vale]

Oh I thought that's what the Handbooks and stuff already were with the exception of DM's having to interpret some rules like a difficulty class

[dapper gazelle]

Basically, OP tends to stay closer to the RAW. While there is still some DM interpretation, a clear rule is generally followed.

[narrow ermine]

I'm trying to create a subclass for the first time, and I was wondering if there's a good way to add the option to select from a list of known spells or to mark a spell for a feature like this

[near ember]

You can add an once a day cast of a spell of your choice (for more help reply)

[narrow ermine]

I will take that help if you're offering. Where do I go? Under the feature, I have these options (I wanted it to be lumped with the item I have listed as an action if possible):

[near ember]

What amount of homunculi can you have?

[narrow ermine]

With this ability, 2.

[near ember]

I misread what you wanted
1 press add spell
2 set spell level to 1
3 set requirements for class if it is necessary
4 set consume spell slot to yes
5 set Count as known to no
6 set always prepared to
7 write in restrictions can be cast from your homunculi

[slow crystal]

i'm trying to find out how i add the spell to an "enspelled" magic item, if anyone know how to do so

[loud drift]

Make a homebrew copy of the item and follow bramvers steps in the post above yours.

[timid drift]

Add the item to the inventory and just write a note under customize.

[dire blade]

I'd personally go the homebrew route myself just to get the spell on the character sheet, but if it's a spell you have memorized then just Customizing the item is very solid.

[timid drift]

That's fair, my suggestion wouldn't add the spell to the character sheet.

[lost oasis]

better customization of item's charge amounts

like, Prof * X

or Level , and Level + X, and Level * X

or equal to a ability modifier

[chilly ginkgo]

Anyone adept with homebrew tooltips? I'm having an issue I can't troubleshoot

[dense viper]

What issue are you having? No one can help without more info

[chilly ginkgo]

for some reason, only this tooltip won't work

Editor view, if it helps

nevermind, fixed it

something got screwed up with the html an "<em>" got inserted between '[' and 'spell]'

[dense viper]

Probally happend if you copied the name instead of typing it out.

[chilly ginkgo]

not sure. I have limited html knowledge but a quick google says that the <em> tag is used for formatting italics? So maybe I italicised '[' and 'spell]' separately? forming an invisible tag between them?

regardless, issue resolved!
adding "check the source code" to my list of troubleshooting for tooltip errors XD

[dense viper]

They have this tooltip guide to help as well (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips)

[uneven lantern]

You can click the </> icon in the toolbar to view and edit the source code.

[chilly ginkgo]

thank you 👍
I did, and that's how I saw the misplaced <em> tag

[uneven lantern]

You should be able to just delete it from there, then.

[dire blade]

You shouldn't actually need <em> tags at all because the site's CSS automatically formats the [spells] custom markdown with italics.

[chilly ginkgo]

I made this homebrew a fair while ago and I think I may have copy/paste'd the table. The source code is pretty wonky

Minor cleanup and nothing has be thrown off 👍

[dire blade]

Reasonably certain you can remove the class from your second line. Also:

• You can completely drop the <em> and </em> tags from your middle line.
• You shouldn't use paragraph HTML for the <td> contents.
  I recommend just doing this:
  <td>[spell]Erupting Earth[/spell], [spell]Melf's Minute Meteors[/spell]</td>

But if you're happy with it, may as well leave it alone I guess!

[shadow plume]

So I am making a homebrew species. I am giving them the option to certain skills to have profiency in. How would I set that up as a drop down table to pick from?

[dense viper]

Are you giving them a list to choose from or just proficiency in a set number of skills?

[shadow plume]

a list to choose from

[dense viper]

You have to make a feature with options and have the options give proficiency from your list.

[shadow plume]

Would that be a part of Species Traits?

Is that what you're talking about?

[uneven lantern]

After you add a Species Trait, you’ll see a section called Options.

Set up each choice as its own Option.

Inside each Option, give it a Modifier that grants the proficiency for that choice.

[shadow plume]

Would I need to check "is Granted" per option?

Wait, I think I got it now.

I'll ask in the next upcoming days again if I have any further questions. Thanks!

[charred veldt]

Any update on exploring Ebberons missing art?

[timid scroll]

I added notes on my character in the mobile app. I can't find these notes anywhere on my character sheet in the browser

Where are they?

[slim oracle]

I feel like I'm losing my mind. I have Tal'dorei Reborn, but I don't see Oath of the Open Sea in the character creation options. I double checked that critical role is selected on the first page. Any idea what's going on?

[slim oracle]

Oh wow, you can only see it if you select the legacy paladin.

[lone heath]

Yep!

It's a 2014 subclass.

Same with Rune Sorcerer, etc.

[slim oracle]

I thought those would show up as long as we had the right sources selected, like species and backgrounds.

[dapper gazelle]

Nah, subclasses are set up to only work with specific classes and 2014 Paladin and 2024 Paladin are effectively different classes. To appear for both, they have to essentially include it twice, built to fit each one.

This causes a common support issue in here that people often just have selected the wrong class for the subclass they are trying to add.

[dire blade]

Only official 2014 subclasses were doubled forward to the 2024 chasses because WOTC were their creators. The others all require a special update from the third party publisher which has not happened yet in several notable cases. Some of these are queued behind other things already planned for release as well, etc.

[steep drift]

Does anyone know if Planescape's reveals in Maps are already reported as non-functioning?

nvm, I just went through the forum and it is indeed a known issue

[hard island]

Can someone help me figure out how to use fog of war on Owl Bear Rodeo? I am a new DM and I dont know what im doing

[fading bramble]

#third-party . this channel is for dndbeyond help

[vernal fractal]

Tell me more?

[steep drift]

When opening the Planescape tab in reveals you'll get a "No reveals found" text and nothing else

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s been reported already.

[steep drift]

Thanks, I did find that report on the forum

[vernal fractal]

Ah, okay. You said "non-functioning" and I wanted to make sure there weren't broken images or something. Thanks for the clarification.

[manic chasm]

I have a "bug" that I found in d&d beyond were can I knowtify people to look in to this ?

[uneven lantern]

What kind of bug?

[timid scroll]

On my home computer, I use DndBeyond on Chrome with no problem whatsoever.
On my work computer, however, when using Chrome, it says that I'm using an unsupported browser. Obviously, this is BS. How do I fix it?

[hybrid nova]

Is the work browser locked on an older version of Chrome, or have things like javascript, etc locked down? That could cause similar issues to what you're seeing.

[timid scroll]

Chrome is running the current version and JavaScript = "Sites can use JavaScript"

[hybrid nova]

Not sure what it could be then without looking under the hood myself, but it's probably down to something the company has configured on the laptop via a group policy or what have you. I wouldn't recommend playing via a work computer anyways, unless you know they're cool with that kind of thing.

[timid scroll]

Yeah I'm not gonna play at work lol. But it sure would be nice to be able to tweak my character sheet during my downtime.

[hybrid nova]

There's always your phone if that's all you need to do.

Not necessarily ideal (I prefer an actual browser as well), but doable all the same.

[timid scroll]

That assumes I've got a smartphone, which, I don't know why everybody assumes that :D. Flip phones ftw!

But that's actually one of the things I want to look at. I used my friend's tablet at our last game and added some notes. But when I last looked at my character sheet at home, I couldn't find those notes anywhere.

On the browser version

Would anybody be able to direct me how to find these notes on the browser version?

[hybrid nova]

To be fair, everyone assumes that because at this stage approximately 99.9% of people have smartphones.

[dense viper]

Assumeing you were signed into your account it should just be listed in the notes sections of your character. If you put them in the notes scetion of your friends character then only they and the Dm can see them

[timid scroll]

That's the issue I'm having. I'm not finding a notes section anywhere on my character sheet (in the browser). I can pull up the character sheet in the mobile app and very easily find the notes again. But there's just no notes section in the browser version (that I can find).

[dense viper]

If you dont see that you may not be signed in or if you are signed in it may not be the correct account

[timid scroll]

That is where I was looking! There was no notes section there. I'll just have to wait until I get home to look again. Thank you!

[timid scroll]

Ok, this was the answer. Somehow I was accessing my character sheet via my wife's account. I relogged into my account and my notes are there.

Now another question. When wielding a weapon with the light property, does this not automatically add the Bonus Action attack that the property grants?

Is there otherwise a way to have the app add this Bonus Action without creating a custom bonus action?

[dense viper]

If you are dual wielding light weapons you can go into one of them and customize it and check the duel wield check box for the one in your off hand to show as a bouns action

[timid scroll]

Oh that's beautiful! Thank you! I am indeed dual wielding hand crossbows. I also have the crossbow expert feat, which will add my Dex mod to damage with the offhand crossbow. I notice the app doesn't apply this automatically, but I can customize that as well. However, is there a way to make it so that the damage customization applies the Dex mod instead of having to manually change the damage every time my Dex changes?

[dense viper]

I dont think so

[remote sinew]

i've had a player join my campaign and their character isnt showing up on my side but is on theirs, any ideas?

[dapper gazelle]

Have them check Home tab in the character creator. Privacy settings need to be in Campaign Only or Public for it to appear.

[remote sinew]

they are set to public

nvm, half hour later it's shown up

[left mason]

does anyone have good experience and understanding of the ddb homebrew system that cna help me RQ with a subclass? its a little urgent

[dense viper]

What are you trying to do?

[left mason]

I need to create a subclass in ddb for a foundry vtt game, i have the statblocb but the ddb homebrew system is difficult to me, i need some help if anyone would be nice enough to

statblock for reference

[dense viper]

I can point you towards a starting place but i cant help you make the whole thing.

The best place to start would to be to make a copy of an existing pladin subclass and change everything to what you need

[left mason]

good advice, i had an idea that was the smart thing to do

[manic chasm]

i am playing an artificer and 2 of my infusions are buged, repeating shot and returning weapon. i have no item assigned to those infustions but my sheet says they are active. and when i click on remove infusion i get the beholder error screen !

[dapper gazelle]

Can you send a link to the sheet so we can see it? Privacy on the sheet will need to be set to public but you can set it back after.

[sleek rune]

Why is one +7 and the other +11?

[verbal creek]

Are you proficient in that hunting rifle?

[sleek rune]

I assume so

It doesnt say anything that would indicate otherwise

[verbal creek]

It doesn't add the proficiencies of these guns for other classes that aren't the gunslinger. You'll have to manually add them yourself.

[surreal marlin]

hey guys i joined the server real quick to ask if yall can help me with a problem i have, so basically….

Just yesterday d&d beyond had signed me out of my account, as i re signed in, it had acted as if it was my first time making an account, upon finishing signing in, i had noticed that i was no longer apart of a game and i had lost all characters i had under that account, what do i do

[dense viper]

You may have made a 2nd account by mistake. You should check to make sure you are signed into the right account

[uneven lantern]

In other words, you need to use the same sign-in account you did the first time.

[surreal marlin]

that i did 🥹

i even signed out on all accounts

and signed in using all alternate methods

and they have nothing at all

none of them

[vivid spade]

Hey, when I create an NPC, and give them spells, how do I make the spells point to the 2024 version? For instance, "[spell]fire bolt[/spell]" just points to the 2014 version.

It looks like maybe this points to a 2014 spell:

[spell]spell name[/spell]

and this:

[spells]spellname[/spells]

points to a 2024 spell.

[dapper gazelle]

Generally, this occurs because the user password has to be combined with the correct platform. So, for example, if you signed in with a Google account but used it with the twitch button, your characters will not be there if you use the exact right login but click Google instead.

If you still have a problem, you may need to open a support ticket but that is a slow process and we have heard reports of the process taking weeks.

Excellent, thank you

[uneven lantern]

Both of those say “No item infused” for me. Is that not what you see?

[manic chasm]

yes but the system says they are active infusted at the moment

[uneven lantern]

Where does it say that?

[dapper gazelle]

If you are looking at the character editor, that list defines what you can choose from to actually have active. Only some of your chosen infusions can be active at a time which is what the "No Item Infused" is indicating that Spamandtuna is pointing you at.

[left mason]

im trying to make a channel divinity ability for ddb, but im unable to make it have a limited use like normal CDs have

anyone knowledgeable about ddb homebrew that can help?

[dense viper]

After you make your action and give it a reset type you have to hit save and let the page reload.

Then at the bottom will be a section called limited use. This is where you set the number of charges that action has

[left mason]

right, the reset type is short rest, but the limited use is 1, 2 or 3 at levels 3, 7 and 15 respectively?

since its two actions in one feature (channel divinity) im not sure how to make them share a limited use

[dense viper]

First make your limited use at level one then you will use level override to change what shows based on player level.

It would just be check boxes that the player would have to check when they use the feature.

[left mason]

yeah thats what im going for

tbf i may be stupid but how does that give the channel divinity itself 1, 2 and 3 checkboxes respectivbely at those levels?

[dense viper]

When you use level overrides you change the limited use to the number of uses you want them to have at that level. Then DDB will give the correct number of check boxes

so you will have two level overrides, one at level 7 that gives 2 uses and one at level 15 that gives 3

[left mason]

right that makes sense, but which box needs the number then, fixed value?

[dense viper]

yeah

[left mason]

and if i do this for both abilities, wont the paladin end up with 2, 4 and 6 charges as they level up?

[dense viper]

if you want them to only have one set of charges to use either ability on you will just have to say that in the description.

[left mason]

why is ddb homebrew like this

xD

[dense viper]

ddb homebrew is made to work just like the official system.

[left mason]

yeah but other CDs have two abilities that share a pool of charges?

or am i stupid

[dense viper]

And they only show that they share the charges in the description.

[left mason]

oh, wait if i give just one ability charges then, well they technically share them

[dense viper]

What you want to do before you add the abilities is in the description of the feature that you can do X or Y a number of times equal to the charges.

Then in that same feature add the limited use check boxes

after that it is just a player's choice of what they use but they only have a certain number of charges to do either one

An item that does something like that is Staff of the Magi. Where it has a pool of charges that can be used to do multiple things

[left mason]

yeah

im half understanding xD

my brain is overloaded, this is hard

[dense viper]

Sometimes taking a step back and coming back later helps

[left mason]

yeah i know, but i dont have time

im mostly tired because i managed to erase alot of work

[dense viper]

If you own the 2024 Dms guild make a copy of the staff and see how the devs did it. Then take that info to make your limited use action

[left mason]

I actually dont, i have the phb, tashas, xanathars and i think monster manual, i used to be a player

[dense viper]

I have to step away now but if you still need help keep posting and someone will answer you if they have time

[left mason]

but if im making a con modifier = charges for an ability, in the limited use, dont you give it one use, multiplied by con?

[left mason]

sure, mind if i dm you to get you on my list? thanks for your time also

[dense viper]

I think you can just set it to Con but im not sure

[dire blade]

You just set it to CON.

[left mason]

alr alr

[dire blade]

Like this.

Works out to 0+CON, so just CON.

[left mason]

makes sense ngl

im overthinking alot in this process but to be fair, i have no explainations i feel like, just my simple understanding of dnd rules

[manic chasm]

if you klick on them it says remove infusion instayed of infuse item.
and when i klick on remove infusion i get a error screen

[celest holly]

I'm making my first wizard after years of play(!). I'm currently setting her up on D&D Beyond, and she has the Magic Initiate (Druid) feat - for some reason, Beyond only seem to let her 'use' Healing Word once, after which there's no built in way to cast it using her spell slots. Is that right?

[uneven lantern]

What happens if you just remove that plan itself and then readd it?

[manic chasm]

tryed removing it in the build menu but when i re-add it it keeps doing the same thing

[uneven lantern]

What if you make a copy of the character?

[dense viper]

Yes thats right since the spells you get from the feat don't get added to your wizards spellbook

I was trying to search for homebrew monsters and got a 500 internal server error. I tried to search in different browsers (even in private mode), but I got this only to search in the monster name the "nowhere" word. This doesn't happen with any other word, but the search is very slow.

Update: I get a 503 error InPrivate mode

Is anyone else having this problem?

[edgy oriole]

Have you tried clearing your cache and/or trying with a different browser?

I'll try and give it a test here as well.

I am not able to recreate the issue

Granted the search is slow...

[pseudo raft]

I try with Google Chrome, Opera GX and Microsoft Edge. I think I'll try clearing the cache

[fallow dirge]

I have built an warforged artificer (artillerist) in the dndbeyond app.

I am little confused about what bonuses should be applied (I know the app does a lot for us simpletons). In the list that shows how say Constitution is calculated it mentions "warforged bonus" but does not have any numbers in it. Online I read that warforged should have +2 here; though that could be AI nonsense mixing up all the rules.

The bonuses I got from choosing Sage have shown up but under Misc.

Is the Sage bonus options instead of Warforged options or have i forgot to check an option somewhere.

[edgy oriole]

For mechanical rules questions about a character build, check with the folks in #character-discussion. This channel is more for the D&DBeyond technical issues and support.

[pseudo raft]

K, cleaning the cache helped with the search, the search is still very slow, but now there are no errors

Thanks!

[edgy oriole]

Nice! Yeah the search is slow (it's kind of a known issue and the devs have said in the past they do eventually want to improve it).

[dire blade]

The recent blog post actually calls out an improved search as a goal of the improved, scalable platform: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2132-d-d-beyonds-2026-development-roadmap

The new platform is an opinionated set of modular, scalable services designed to work together seamlessly. It is fundamentally data-driven, so rules, content, access, search, and messaging can be defined and updated as data rather than hard-coded logic. In short: we’re building a true game engine for D&D Beyond.

[dapper gazelle]

It can depend on whether DDB is drawing the ASI at character creation from species (the 2014 way) or from background (the newer way). If it says Warforged, it is likely from your species so check the species page or the ability score page. One of the two will have the + to CON.

Original Warforged may have originally had a + to Con (what Google may be telling you) but the new way is to select the stat bumps. If you picked something other than +2 to CON you will not have +2 to CON.

2024 brought us more choice so this species always has this bonus to stat is not really a thing anymore.

Hey, I usually log in to DND Beyond with my apple ID on my phone. I'm starting a new campaign as the DM and will be running it off my computer. I try to log in using my apple ID on my pc and it says no account is found. When I log in with my apple ID email (a gmail account) using google account, it does not reflect that I have the master edition. When I link my apple account to my DND beyond account logged in with gmail, it still does not reflect the master edition or transfer any of my characters or campaigns.

What can I do here?

[uneven lantern]

When you signed in through Google, you likely created a new account.

Are you sure your initial sign-in was through Apple?

Ultimately you’ll need to use the same sign-in method and account that you originally used.

If you’re not able to get in, though, customer support can help.

[wise trail]

Hellooo , I'm pretty new to D&D and I was creating a character on the D&D Beyond website, but I can't figure out how to add a subclass to my character.

[near ember]

On what class?

[dense viper]

In the 2024 rules all subclasses are gained at level 3. So if your character isnt that level yet that may be why you cant add it

[wise trail]

Sorcerer and Illrigger

[wise trail]

I tried increasing the level and I still couldn't figure it

[dense viper]

Illrigger is an exception to what I said above as its built to the 2014 rules.

What subclass are you trying to add?

As a note only one subclass is able for each class in the Free Basic Rules

[wise trail]

okay, but I have the player's hand book, Tasha's cauldron, xanathar's guide, strixhaven and Illrigger class revised books

[near ember]

For sorcerer it is a level 1 feature called sorcerous origin if you use the 2014 class Or a level 3 feature called sorcerer subclass if you use the 2024 class
For illrigger it is a level 3 feature called diabolic contact

[dense viper]

Did you turn on the 2014 expanded rules?

[wise trail]

yes

[wise trail]

let's go I found it

Thanks for the help

[wise trail]

The both of you

[rose zealot]

Sorry. Where do I go to find text based servers?

[near ember]

Go to #looking-for-community
And look for games whit ways we play: play by post (for one shots)

[obtuse burrow]

I've just made a 2024 paladin character with the Oath of the Watchers subclass, which is from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.
None of the spells from the subclass spell list are being added to the character.

I tried Oathbreaker to see if Watchers just happened to be broken, same thing happens.

2024 Sorcerer with older subclass seems to work, but at least the 2024 Paladin seems to not get its spells when it picks a subclass from older content.

[dense viper]

Do you also have legacy and 2014 expanded rules turned on? I believe that subclass only adds the legacy version on those spells

[obtuse burrow]

Yes, I own all the content and all boxes are checked. When I make a 2024 sorcerer on the exact same character, like a clockwork sorcerer, the spell list shows up just fine.
And clockwork is also older content

2024 ranger likewise with the 2014 subclass "horizon walker", that one has a dedicated spell list. The spell list shows up perfectly fine.

[violet fiber]

This is a known glitch with 2014 subclasses on 2024 Paladins.

The devs are aware.

No, there isn't a due date for fixing it.

[near ember]

You can make a feat that just gives you the spells

[obtuse burrow]

I've temp made a common magic item that grants the spells. They're ritual spells anyway, but thanks, the feat is a good idea!

[stuck charm]

I feel like my numbers/rolls have been messed up somehow.
When i roll on my dice i keep rolling the same numbers?
like i done cloud of daggers and i got the same dice/damage rolls 4 times in a row. I keep rolling very odd numbers for when i roll my stats) i kept rolling 6 damage. sometimes i keep rolling 15s when i roll stats I had something a week ago where i rolled 15 nat's 20 in a row, too

[uneven lantern]

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

[stuck charm]

i haven't tried i don't dndbeyond on my phone, and i use chrome

[stuck charm]

this was the screenshots i took of me rolling the nat 20;s

[formal surge]

I'm lookin to give a Ranger player an Improved Hunter's Mark. I created a Homebrew Spell that fits my intention. My question, does anyone know of a way to stop vanilla Hunter's Mark from appearing on his sheet? Due to Favored Foe, he has it auto-prepped at all times. It would be sweet if I could replace that with my version somehow

[dense viper]

There isnt a way to make it not appear since its built into the ranger class

[formal surge]

I thought so. Too bad. Thanks!

[dapper gazelle]

Might need some more information as I cannot replicate your output. What did you use to roll?

When I roll on DDB whether through the dice roller or something like DDB, it usually displays a symbol similar to the one in my pic and includes what was rolled, e.g., 1d20. As that is missing, I am wondering if you have done the equivalent (however unintentionally) of a Roll20 roll that just spits out a constant instead of rolling a die. If you had repeated the same command, it would just continue to display the same thing.

[stuck charm]

i just done 1d20 and kept rolling

let me reroll again and send the dms

@dapper gazelle I sent you a DM, it could be in message requests

[torpid cobalt]

Hey if anyones free I could use some help

[uneven lantern]

With what?

[shadow plume]

So I am homebrewing an item. The item grants the spell Moonbeam. However, when I do [spell]Moonbeam[/spell], it gives it the "legacy" version of it, and not the current version of Moonbeam

How do I fix this?

[dapper gazelle]

Could it be something simple like you are applying it to a 2014 character?

[dense viper]

Do [spells] instead.

This form post also has all the tooltips on it. And it has been updated for the 2024 rules if you scroll down some.

Hello, for clickable-buttons for actions in the dndbeyond VTT, I this the correct syntax: [attack]+7[/attack] [damage]1d8+6[/damage] as an example? I include this within the Actions description area but it does not appear as a button.

For more context, I add the monster to an encounter in the VTT and open their character block. I see the literal text instead of a button

[uneven lantern]

This article shows the right syntax:

You can also hit the calculator icon there in the text editor’s toolbar. That’ll do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.

[unique niche]

My dm gave my monk guantlets that give additional 2d6 necrotic to unarmed strikes. I’m having a hard time making it in dnd beyond.

Under modifier, bonus and unarmed attacks with 2 d6. It’s not showing up and not necrotic.

[fallen veldt]

I think I may have found a bug. In my character sheet for my level 3 Paladin, the damage button for the spell Thunderous Smite has only 1d6 damage, not 2d6 like in the spell's description. I checked to see if the spell had been customized, but nothing was different. I even changed my character's level to 5 to see if it would deal more damage with a higher level spell slot, but it's still 1d6.

I tried customizing it and then clicking the Remove Customizations button, but that didn't fix it either

And I have the spell prepared, not granted to me by some Paladin subclass

[fallen veldt]

Next to the damage button is a little blue asterisk. That only shows up for spells being cast at a higher level than its base spell level, but I only have level 1 spell slots.

[dapper gazelle]

Yeah, this appears to be an error. Thunderous Smite does seem to be only coded to do 1d6 even though the spell text seems correct.

[nova wharf]

trying to mess with dndbeyond's custom actions, i wanted to make the artificer's force ballista, however i just can't remove the extra fixed value for damage, so it just perpetually gives +1 extra damage that wont be changed to 0 or anything else, even with dicetype and stats and so on set up

Anyone got a solution for this?

[uneven lantern]

Give it a -1 bonus.

[lament frigate]

I'm having an issue where a character isnt showing up in the player list on maps. I've tried the following issues to resolve it...

Steps to Fix Missing Characters:
Refresh Character Cache: Open the character sheet, click the inspiration box twice, and reload the page.
Check Campaign Link/Assignment: Ensure the player used the specific campaign join link provided by the DM. A character created outside the campaign cannot be added.
Set Character to Public/Visible: Ensure the character is not set to "Private" in its settings, as DMs cannot always see private characters.
Create a Copy: If a character is stuck, making a copy of the character often forces it to appear in the selection list.
Log Out and In: Have the player log out of D&D Beyond and back in to refresh their account data.
Clear Browser Cache: Clear your browser's cache and cookies to ensure you are not viewing an outdated version of the site.

I have screenshots of what the player is seeing vs what I'm seeing if a mod whats to help I can DM them to you.

I as the DM, have also ended the session, logged out and back in, and reset my browser.

oh the whole PHB?

i am looking for some sort of code on my book i can import into my account, is that a thing for DND?

[uneven lantern]

There’s no code, no.

To add any of the character options from the book as homebrew, you’d have to enter each one manually.

[red spoke]

oh so i'll have to buy the digital book if i want to use more subclasses on the character builder then

[red spoke]

alright, thats sad okok thanks for the response!

[tacit crag]

So, I have a pretty long list of questions/things I need...
Basics: I wanna implement someone else's homebrew subclass into the system (they didn't implement it themselves; it's just for personal use) but I have NO idea how to do the majority of things.
It's Kryand's Sword Dancer domain for cleric, and I firgured out how to do the domain spells (by copying and editing the life domain's stuff) and done a few other/small things, but not much more.

I don't really know how to approach this, so I'll just be going step by step for now.

Firstly, I'd like to have non-heavy swords be counted as finess when I use them.

Secondly, I'd need to have an action that activates three things:
+2 or +<proficiency> to AC
two reactions that add proficiency mod to AC or DEX saves when I would either be hit by a weapon, or fail a DEX save
(There are additional things to the action (sword dance) but they can be added later, and could also manually be done during the sessions, so they're not really a priority.)

[uneven lantern]

For the first, it’s not possible to add weapon properties from a subclass.

But you could do something like Bladesinger or Battle Smith.

I think they use a modifier called Replace Weapon Ability.

Then when you click a weapon on your sheet, there would be a “Use Dexterity” option you could enable as needed.

For the second, I’d add two versions of that feature: one shown only in the builder, and one shown only on the sheet.

The first would just have the rules text.

The second would also have an Option to activate the feature.

Inside the Option, you’d add anything that applies when the feature is active.

Then you can turn it on or off from the sheet itself, like you can with Rage.

[tacit crag]

thx!

Not having the book downloaded doesn't seem to affect the compendium on my pixel phone. Double check that you own it or it's shared with you and that entitlements are in sync.

It is necessary on Android as well to download the book to access its content. You can see listings in searches without but accessing content would be restricted.

[iron anchor]

ooo new changes am excited to see what they are unrelated to the dice issue

The dice roller may be back for folks with a new feature where players can see each others dice rolling

[vernal fractal]

It does appear to be back online, but we're monitoring it for stability.

Yes it seems to be working many thanks!

[vernal fractal]

Yep. We just closed the book on our side. Things are stable. Marketing launch will happen soon.

For enyone if you dice roll are not showing up you can turn 3d dice off and they will show up again
(it doesn't send the dice results until they are rolled whitch they will not do if your are limiting your cookie)
You do this by opening a character on the website pressing the dice in the bottom and clicking the slider at the bottom

[sour star]

When creating a homebrew monster, is there a way to set their attacks up so that they score a critical hit on a 19 as well as a 20?

[near ember]

It is here on the site

[dense viper]

I dont think there is a way to do it automatically but you can always right click the damage die to then click roll "crit damage" at least you can on the encounter builder here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-encounters)

-# I dont think that is something you can do from the encounter builder in the Maps Tool though

[sour star]

Thanks. I'm creating a homebrew statblock for a sidekick. I was hoping there was something to automate the Warrior class's Improved Critical trait. I think my players will forget it exists otherwise.

[regal falcon]

is there a guide i can find that will help me build my first homebrew race/subclass? ive tried watching vidoes but im still having trouble

[near ember]

Don't worry your players will forget trying to push a door open just remind them when they roll a 19

[sour star]

Haha, no way. I have enough to keep track of. If they can't remember that their sidekick crits on a 19, I'm not going to check it for them. I'm being benevolent enough trying to find out if it's something I can force the statblock to do.

[dense viper]

The best bet is to make a copy of an existing subclass or race and use that as a templet. If you get to a point where you dont know where to go next you can always come back here and ask

[split hedge]

Is this limited to campaigns you as a DM create, or all campaigns regardless of role?

[dense viper]

Its has a limit of 5 total campaigns. And you can be the Dm or a player in any of those 5

[regal falcon]

okay, ill see if thats something that will work for my idea, thank you

(Heart of Winter)
When you adopt this path at 3rd level, your rage draws thermal energy from the environment. When you enter your rage, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice your barbarian level + your Constitution modifier. These temporary hit points take the form of jagged ice encrusting your body and armor. They vanish when your rage ends.

Additionally, while you have these temporary hit points, any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes cold damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

Ive been trying to implement this and the actions, THP, and damage bit has me lost on how to properly imput it

[edgy oriole]

The site is working fine for me - can you try clearing your browser cache and refreshing again?

[safe valve]

I'm not sure if its just me, but now with the dice update, when i try rolling on my character sheet, nothing happens. I even tried to do the manual rolling, nothing happens. It's janky whenever I try to roll in the VTT (it appears I can only roll it as a DM, i tried as a player). Again, not sure if it's just a me problem or not. I did clear my browser cache and refreshed a bunch of times. Still nothing.

[edgy oriole]

Make sure you've enabled hardware acceleration on your browser.

[safe valve]

i had that turned on a while back cuz something else was bugging out when it was off

[dire blade]

Make sure that you're allowing Javascript in your browser for DNDB. The three key script sources for 3D dice are as follows:

Also, there is a toggle in the dice popup that you need to make sure is checked on for 3D dice to roll.

Top right here.

[edgy oriole]

Also ad blockers, VPNs, or even antivirus software can sometimes interfere with things.

[safe valve]

3d dice used to work before the update, but ill look into the javascript stuff rn

i tried the scripts sources and it still didnt help much. i might just keep the 3d rolling off for now. thanks for the help, though!

[golden tulip]

i am also having issues with rolling dice on the character sheet, whenever i try to roll it literally just does nothing. i can roll via the dice roller in the bottom right but nothing else even comes remotely to working even when trying out all of the suggested fixes above

[uneven lantern]

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

[golden tulip]

yeah its happening to my friends aswell and they are on different browsers, the dm can roll on our character sheets but we can roll on our own

[uneven lantern]

In this case, I’d just use snippet code to display the correct numbers. The THP and damage will need to be manually applied when applicable.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/25930-using-snippet-codes-in-your-homebrew

Additionally, while you have this Temp. HP, any creature that hits you with a melee attack takes {{proficiency#unsigned}} Cold damage.

So uuh my dice are still broken and i keep rolling nat 20's still. But I have no addons

[uneven lantern]

Have you tried it in another browser or on another device?

[stuck charm]

i don't use it on my phone

i'll try edge

[uneven lantern]

If it happens in one browser but not another, then it’s likely a browser issue.

[vernal fractal]

There is a known issue that seems to be effecting a small number of people who are trying to roll from the... Uh... I actually don't know what this menu is called haha.

When you right click on a rollable dice number and you get a menu full of options.

Is that where you're having problems? If so, we're going to tackle that first thing tomorrow.

[dire blade]

I suspect some folks might be using the Beyond20 add-on which hasn't been updated yet and could be conflicting.

[golden tulip]

when i click the button to roll like hit dc or damage literally nothing happens, i can still roll the 3d dice with the menu in the bottom left but it is invisible even in 3d dice mode and only shows up in the gamelog

[vernal fractal]

Oh, yes, extensions will definitely need to be updated by their respective developers.

[dire blade]

That is a pretty typical symptom of not having hardware acceleration enabled or blocking some of the key javascript needed. 🤔

I'd check h/w acceleration and make sure it's enabled and then disable all browser extensions and clear cache. Then see if it works.

[golden tulip]

ive got hardware acceleration enabled and javascript and the only extension i have is above vtt but im not even using it for rolling

cleared cache already aswell

[dire blade]

It still might be conflicting, tbh.

[golden tulip]

ok

[dire blade]

Many of these things scrape or interact with the DNDB interface and go haywire when the character sheet gets an update.

[stuck charm]

tried edge i am using the same issue with edge & chrome

[golden tulip]

its so over it was above vtt

[vernal fractal]

We completely rebuilt the entire dice system for this. I purposely don't know how their extensions work, but I guarantee it's not going to work out of the box.

[stuck charm]

i have been having dice rolling issues before this update

where as you can see i keep rolling nat 20's ;-;

Do you experience this weird nat 20 thing in a phone browser or the mobile app?

It's behaving like something is interfering with network traffic or some such, an overzealous firewall? Adblocker?

I would also recommend trying on a different computer if you can.

And probably clear cache for good measure.

[stuck charm]

browser

[shrewd knoll]

I'm suddenly having a tons of issues loading the website and multiple 504 timeouts

[noble field]

disabled beyond20 in firefox and now all dice rolls are working for me. before it would only work from the dice menu in the corner and no where else

[stuck charm]

I have no other computer

[dire blade]

Yeah, those extensions haven't been updated yet. They're all gonna break atm.

[dapper gazelle]

OP didn't say it, but for the max dice issue, they told me they had no plugins in the browser.
-# Kelcium issue

[safe valve]

it was abovevtt for me, now i can roll from my character sheet. though, turning off beyond20 will actually allow 3d dice rolling (i'm on firefox for reference, and tried chrome, which doesnt have those extensions, and chrome worked)

[regal falcon]

Thank you

[shrewd knoll]

Weirdly, the sudden issues with the website seem to have fixed themselves after a few minutes, no idea why I was randomly getting 504 gateway timeouts for a bit there

[stuck charm]

yeah.

[safe valve]

someone earlier said vpns or adblockers might interfere with things. maybe disable one, the other, or both (any combination really) and see what makes things work?

[dire blade]

You've actually got a lot of extensions there. I'd disable them all on the page and see if that helps.

Then you can reenable them one at a time and see what the culprit is.

If you have ublock origin lite on strict, for instance, that may be doing it.

[stuck charm]

i'll use an incognito (that has no extensions)

@dire blade See ^ :)

something has messed up like i max dice roller

[dire blade]

I wonder if there's something about your specific test case you keep using..

[stuck charm]

want me to do anything?

[dire blade]

Hrm, works for me.

[stuck charm]

i can roll d20s for you. damage rolls anything

[dire blade]

I am honestly not sure. It might make sense to have you submit a support ticket.

[stuck charm]

i did

[dire blade]

Okay, well, I guess the best next step is to wait for a response. They may be able to look at your sheet and give tailored recommendations.

[uneven lantern]

What about in a non-Chromium browser like Firefox? Or on another device?

[stuck charm]

i don't have firefox installed

[uneven lantern]

This is how troubleshooting works. If we want to find the source of the problem, you need to try things. 😅

Download Firefox and give it a go.

Try it on your phone.

We need to know the scope of the issue before we can narrow down a cause.

[balmy belfry]

hmmm.. ddb back to throwing internal server errors and acting generally sluggish

[stuck charm]

i take that back. its just slow but still yeah

still rolling max

even on firefox

[uneven lantern]

Okay, so not a browser issue, then.

Can you try it on your phone? Both in a browser and in the DDB app?

[dire blade]

This reads like a network traffic issue.

[uneven lantern]

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

[stuck charm]

no. vpn was only on edge browser

i had to disable 3d dice but as you can see another nat 20 on website

[uneven lantern]

Is your phone on the same network as your computer (like the same wifi)? If so, can you try changing the connection (like turning off wifi and using just the cell signal)?

[stuck charm]

i am on the dndbeyond app and on my data now rather than wifi

just logging in

lemme try hotspot

still glitched

[uneven lantern]

Very strange

What’s your DDB username?

Is D&D Beyond down? My players and I cannot sign in.

[cosmic escarp]

Is Homebrew broken on the site? I was editing a homebrew creature when the site froze, and now I'm getting a 503 error

[rare sun]

yeah i think stuff is down.

oop, i just got in

[edgy oriole]

We are seeing some instability - devs are aware and looking into things.

[nova orbit]

Yeah, took me about 4 or 5 times to bring up the site. 😐

[odd scarab]

what is going on with the errors? xD we're having a cthulu invasion and the sites not working!

[unborn kraken]

I was running a game today from 11:30am Pacific to 1500 Pacific, and dice/dice-log performance on both character sheets and the VTT was VERY uneven: 1) 3d dice appeared but matching log entries were missing on the VTT, 2) 3d dice appeared on character sheets but not on VTT and vice-versa, 3) 3d dice didn't appear but dice-log entries did. It was very unpredictable for the entire 3.5 hours. FYI.

[short tiger]

Perhaps they can update the status page ( https://status.dndbeyond.com ) as its saying all areas operational even though clearly not?

[lost oasis]

everything is broken

[sour star]

30 minutes to game time, and I'm getting 503 errors when trying to load character sheets and statblocks.

[edgy oriole]

The site is currently experiencing some instability - devs are looking into it.

[stuck charm]

yes the wizards are scribing scrolls for new spells :)

[lost oasis]

seems like hardware acceleration is breaking every couple of minutes while browsing dndbeyond / the map

[cobalt plinth]

turning off hardware accel fixed the 503 issues for me

ah nvrm i can only access library

[lost oasis]

scrolling a monster or item page seems to cause the whole browswer to freeze for about 10 seconds

which crashes hardware accel

[safe valve]

is anyone else having a problem with rolling from the character sheet? like, as a player in a campaign, im testing out the dice stuff (i've been testing for over an hour now), and it seems that when i right click from the sheet to change the options (roll to everyone, roll to dm, roll to self, advantage, flat die, disadvantage), it doesnt work.

like, i right click, i click "roll [dice]" and nothing happens. it works when i don't right click, but it doesnt when i do. i testing in my private cmapign with just me, and the right click works. i checked right now on my ipad, altering the rolls to hit on my characters in my regular campaigns work. i wonder why it isnt working on desktop for me.

for reference, i usually use firefox (disabled beyond20 and abovevtt) and i did some more tests on chrome. any thoughts?

[short tiger]

Everyone is having issues, as explained by mods here there is sitewide instability and devs are looking into it. Many areas of the site are down.

[lost oasis]

hardware acceleration

[short tiger]

Not the cause. Even areas of site that do not use hardware accel are affected, and errors can be found whether you have it on or off.

[lost oasis]

are you dndb dev?

[safe valve]

i just hope when it gets fixed, all those clicked rolls wont load in like a dam breaking 😶

[short tiger]

Not saying hardware accel isn't being affected, just saying not the cause.

[short tiger]

No. And neither are you.

[odd scarab]

someone ping me when theres a fix?

[torn crystal]

hello friends

the DDB status page was just updated to reflect some site issues. The team is on it.

[lost oasis]

'some issues"

its everything

[torn crystal]

Workin' with what I got, my friend. I'm technically off work and just got the email

[odd scarab]

Apologies xD

[torn crystal]

you know better 😛

[short tiger]

Thank you! Appreciate what you do! And while off work too! Commitment!

[odd scarab]

Youre absolutely right lol not my best moment

[torn crystal]

thank YOU for getting the word to Reddit

[short tiger]

Site seems to be back up, at least for most pages I'm testing. Haven't checked sheet functions or map stuff yet.

Maps and character sheets seem to be working. Can access forums and most pages.

[violet fiber]

It's still a little so slow on my & my buddy's end

[vernal fractal]

We are aware that some users are having this issue. It's top of the list tomorrow morning to fix.

[torn crystal]

i haven't seen the green light yet, so no updates from me

[unborn kraken]

CURRENT RESULTS: [ALL set to "Everyone"] 1) Character 1 rolls a die; their 3d dice display on their character sheet, but no 3d dice display on the VTT screen and nothing registers on either the Character OR VTT game logs show that the roll happened; 2) Character 2 rolled a die; their 3d dice displayed on their Character sheet and the numbers displayed on both their Character sheet and the VTT game log. Same actions, different results.

3. For Player 1, after a several minute delay, several of the other character's previous rolls suddenly displayed on Player 1's view of the VTT game log.

3a) these same delayed displays did not show up on Player 1's character sheet game log.

This makes running a game really confusing. Requires lots of cross talk to confirm what any given roll was across the team.

[short tiger]

Yes, @unborn kraken this is happening to quite a few people and @vernal fractal has clarified they're aware and this is on the list to fix first thing in the morning.

[unborn kraken]

I appreciate the clarification that this won't be fixed until morning.

I will need to sort out an alternative for tonight's game.

[short tiger]

If you have Discord you can make a server for your game for free and add in Avrae for free and make rolls there.

[unborn kraken]

No thanks.

[edgy oriole]

The devs are still actively working on the degraded perfromance and instability D&DBeyond is currently experiencing.

[sudden relic]

Well, the problem continues. I ended up letting my subscription renew back in December at its current level so that I can share content for my current campaign. Beyond that, I believe my only course of action is to remove my credit card and accept that I'll never have another subscription or its benefits. Support wont' engage with a conversation. I log in periodically and see that they closed the ticket with a blank email message. I've moved past anger and denial to disappointment. Does anyone have any suggestions of another way to approach this? I'm at a loss.

[short tiger]

Wait, what are you trying to do?

[sudden relic]

I can't access my subscription page. I get 500 Access denied and an undead beholder and logged out.

[clever hearth]

i see its being looked into but wanted to make sure i reported it incase it helps. trying to access my campaigns.

[sudden relic]

that's it

I've had a ticket with support for 5 months

[lapis ridge]

I am getting Error 500 on every page I try to access. I was in the middle of working on a Magic Artifact for my players.. when I went to save (2 hours later) it started and been happening since

[edgy oriole]

D&DBeyond is currently experiencing degraded performance and stability issues - devs are working on resolving it.

[short tiger]

To confirm you're going to https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscriptions/manage and getting this error? Have you checked any extensions/VPNs ? Also, the site is currently experiencing instability right now, but I'm guessing you were having this longer?

[sudden relic]

yeah, tried all the extension and browser troubleshooting, even tried different machine with different OS.

[edgy oriole]

Again D&DBeyond is currently experincing performance and stability issues so some stuff may not be working right now.
Devs are working on resolving it.

[violet fiber]

That's what I was about to suggest. Because it sounds like the ticket got eaten

[sudden relic]

I can get to the ticket, I periodically check on it and come back later

[edgy oriole]

[fleet mica]

Are digital dice massive or is it just me?

[short tiger]

Not just you, mine are ginormous suddenly.

Dem dice be eatin' good. Big 'n' sparkly. Got-dayum.

[dapper gazelle]

One of my players in my 2024 rules is saying that when they took their short rest, most of the abilities they were suppose to recover did recover, but they were supposed to recover 1 Second Wind and they're saying it didn't restore one of those.

[unborn kraken]

COPY TOKEN FEATURE: I noticed a few days ago that when I press the new COPY button on tokens or stickers that they no longer create copies. Is this a known bug?

[fleet mica]

Yeah they are massive. What dice are those btw?

[short tiger]

The Astral set - I think I got them for pre-ordering the spelljammer book.

[short tiger]

I don't believe this is coded because an action feature can't be set to have multiple different different rest recoveries. It's a limitation of the system. If you Long Rest all uses are regained, but for short rests you'll need to uncheck the box manually.

[short tiger]

Just tested and can confirm the copy button doesn't do anything.

[dapper gazelle]

Ah, whereas something like Action surge only has one, gotcha, coo, coo.

-# I realize this may not be the place for it, but I ask for just a little leeway tonight....
Just a huge thanks to the team for taking care of that outage tonight. My players and I were extremely appreciative when it came back up. ❤️

[short tiger]

I second @dapper gazelle 's sentiment. Very quick response from the team and some even while off-work. 👏👏

[torn crystal]

I care you all very much

[short tiger]

Just thinking about the super-size-me dice glitch maybe it can be kept like a toggle? Could be a good feature. Wanna really show off your dice? Be passive aggressive to the guy who keeps missing the rolls? Add extra drama to an important roll? Enable Super Dice!

[uneven lantern]

The size change was intentional, to improve readability.

[short tiger]

Well, it worked 🤣 😂

[vernal fractal]

The copy button just copies. Use control+V to paste.

[vernal fractal]

Here's a screenshot from an old dice release video that is very similar in positioning to your screenshot. Looking at them side by side, do you still think the new d20 is significantly larger?

[proper dagger]

they are hugenormous lol

[short tiger]

I do think it's quite a bit larger. But I am absolutely ok with the larger size. Maybe I'd prefer a size somewhere in-between the old and new size? Just because I wonder if it might make things a bit busier if rolling a lot of dice like for an upcasted fireball - but still, not enough for me to dislike it or anything. I appreciate the readability. It was just quite a surprise, is all. 😂

[vernal fractal]

I'm listening to the size feedback. If there's a general consensus, we can look into shrinking it. I also want to revisit the actual numbers to see what we did.

[short tiger]

The fact you're listening so much and care about the readability of the dice is great and I appreciate it. I've used other VTTs with dice and many times struggled to see what was rolled and relied on the log (which takes the fun of it away). I also have some eyesight issues. Accessibility is important. Thank you.

[unborn kraken]

1. I played 2 games today with a total of 8 people; everyone agreed the dice were MUCH larger than we're used to (and I've been using DDB since early Alpha) 2) In my 8:30pm to 11:00pm Pacific game, the dice error issues were fewer, but still recurring. Most frequent error was dice rolls not showing up in all the places they were supposed to (yes on character sheet, but no on VTT, yes on 3d, no on dice log or delayed a long time on dice log, etc.). I'd guess 10-20% of our rolls had some kind of error, but most were fine. Big improvement over earlier today.

3. My groups recommended putting dice size on a slider so folks can scale them to taste.

[ruby zealot]

I was a player in your first game and I experienced that dice log issue too. Some rolls never showed up in the log, others were delayed 3-5 minutes. Some rolls show up in the log on the character sheet but not on the VTT log and vice versa. The enormous dice are an irritant, but I guess I can solve that for myself by simply turning the dice off.

[vernal fractal]

• @ruby zealot we had some site wide stability issues yesterday, which might have explained your issues, but just in case can one of you dm me your campaign url and we can look into it.

[mint crypt]

Is there a global setting for a DM to always roll visible dice (e.g., default to “Everyone”)? I may be overlooking a setting somewhere.

[vernal fractal]

In the dice roller, there are two icons in the bottom corner- roll to self and roll to everyone.

[uneven lantern]

I believe they’re looking for a way to change the default, so that every time they load the page, it starts with “Everyone” selected.

(No such option currently exists, btw.)

[mint crypt]

You are correct, and it's actually per roll not per page load.

[vernal fractal]

Hmm. It should remember whatever your last roll was.

[mint crypt]

You know what, I bet it does if I'm clicking on the monster stat block. It's the Custom rolls on the dice in the lower left that's every roll.

[uneven lantern]

Ah, for that, try opening the Game Log itself.

There’s an option at the top where you can set a default that will apply until the page is reloaded.

[vernal fractal]

hmmmmmm. does some testing

[vernal fractal]

are you available to hop into a call/screen share? Or if not, can you send me a screen recording? I had our Quality Engineer spend a few hours testing all the permutations of Roll to Self/Roll to Everyone yesterday, and I just tested it and it's working as expected and remembering the last settings...

[uneven lantern]

Oooh, Maps actually does now remember that change after a refresh!

I suspect Corey is using Encounters, though, where the old behavior still applies.

[mint crypt]

I certainly can, but I can tell you @uneven lantern is correct: I'm not using maps, I'm using the old Encounters.

[uneven lantern]

Then yeah, if you open the Game Log, you can temporarily change the default here at the top.

But it will reset if you reload the page.

[mint crypt]

How did I never see that?!

[uneven lantern]

In Maps, changing it for a custom roll changes the default itself, which will remain selected even after a refresh.

[mint crypt]

I'm going to pivot my question, if that's OK, based on this new info. Maps is cool, but we play IRL with TT minis and some players still on pencil and paper. Is there a way to use Maps for encounters that makes it as table-friendly as the old Encounters, or am I better off to just keep using Encounters (just a little fearful it gets sunsetted someday).

[dire blade]

Even when DMing in Maps I still prefer the Encounters tool over the one built into Maps, so I get it.

[vernal fractal]

Ohhhhhh. We have not made any changes to the old Encounter Builder. It's still using Old Dice for now.

[mint crypt]

The Encounter Builder still rocks for IRL TT DMing. Is that something I should put in #ddb-feedback?

[vernal fractal]

Yeah, I know. It definitely serves a very important purpose. The tech behind it is incredibly old and archaic though, which makes developing it any further incredibly complicated, time consuming, and risky. In the future, we're going to overhaul it (and I fully intend to respect how and why people use it today), but until then it's very difficult to add anything to it.

[dire blade]

It's good to hear that a revamp is at least planned.

[balmy belfry]

love both encounter builder and maps encounter, only thing I'd like to see with it is the ability to import encounter into to maps if I wanted to and then all the tokens would be dropped on the map

[vernal fractal]

FYI: some people experienced some intermittent dice log issues yesterday. An unrelated service had some trouble yesterday, and we pattern matched the dice log errors and it aligns perfectly with the outage our other system had.

We thought we had actually migrated all our dependencies on that other system away, but it looks like we missed one. So... that's on the to-do list now!

But it also means that you shouldn't expect those sort of dice log issues with your typical usage of dice.

[vernal fractal]

yessssss i want that so bad.

[halcyon plover]

website is having issue for me currently

[grizzled helm]

I have a player who has lost dice he paid for but did get the free dice. He emailed them yesterday and no one has answered

Ah apparently he just got an answer. He bought the gemstone dice and apparently they don’t work with the new share system so they just removed them and gave him some arbitrary new set. He is mad and wants a refund

[dense viper]

He should have an email just about that. It should be titled

"Update on a technical issue with one of your digital dice sets."

[grizzled helm]

I think that’s the email he found. It was in his spam.

[dense viper]

If he truly wants to try to get a refund he will have to contact customer support.

[vernal fractal]

As part of our launch of Social Dice and 3d Dice on Maps, we had to migrate our dice platform to a new underlying technology. As part of the migration work, we were able to successfully upgrade almost every set of dice ever offered by D&D Beyond. Unfortunately, the Gemstone Set posed some unique technical challenges, and it was the only set we are no longer able to support going forward.

To compensate people who lost access to Gemstone, we gave them three new sets of dice, including one dice pack that includes 5-8 variations.

[grizzled helm]

That’s understandable . Maybe Better solution was hey here are x number of options, please choose any three, that way the customer has some say but oh well

[vernal fractal]

Unfortunately, while Gemstone was one of the least popular dice sets, there were still so many people who owned it there was no real mechanism to give everyone a choice. Our customer support team couldn't have supported that workload of new tickets, our engineering team would have been swamped for weeks making the manual assignments.

What we did do, for transparency, was build three lists of dice:

1. Dice packs. Things with 5-8 variations. This is the most comparable to Gemstone, which was not one die but in fact 6 or 7
2. Tier 2 dice: these dice have some simple and straightforward special effects
3. Tier 3 dice: these are the dice with crazy effects, animations, transformations, etc.

We randomly pulled one set the person didn't own from each of these lists.

[grizzled helm]

Makes sense and thank you for the clarification

[buoyant cargo]

I started a new campaign today for a one-shot but there isn't a button to content share in this new campaign, though it is still present on my older campaigns. Is this a know new bug?

[crude venture]

Is anyone else having issues adding items to their character inventory? On D&D beyond app

[brisk bane]

I'm trying to level up my Pact of the Tome warlock to level 3. I'm not seeing Book of Ancient Secrets or Eldritch Sight in my options even though I know i have the books in my library for it.

[ripe kestrel]

I have collected a lot of dice over the years, and honestly may have already had them all. I saw the dice get removed, but also didn't notice any new ones. Is there a way for me to check if I should be expecting something, did get something and it's lost in the dice bag, or if this is just a fringe case of nothing left to receive?

[edgy oriole]

There should be an email that explained the situation and provided the replacement options - check your spam folder just in case it ended up there.

[uneven lantern]

What issue with what item, specifically?

[ripe kestrel]

I saw the email, just no new dice in the account.

[uneven lantern]

The 2014 invocations aren’t currently supported on the 2024 Warlock.

[crude venture]

I was just trying to add assorted adventuring gear to a new character that I created and it is working now 🤷

[edgy oriole]

server caching is a likely culprit - wait 10-15 minutes and it usually catches up

[thorn gazelle]

Hey there, apolgogies if I'm missing something simple-

I'm trying to make an off-hand attack with a dagger. Is there a way to make DDB roll the damage without adding the modifier?

[edgy oriole]

You can create a custom attack action on the front-end of the sheet and set it up to not use your modifier

[loud drift]

On PC you can right click the item, in the mobile app tap+hold to bring up a menu with customization options. One of them is "dual wield" which will move the attack to the bonus actions section and remove the modifier.

[dire blade]

So I noticed that the new Purple Worm book is for the 2024 rules yet includes some official 2014 monsters that haven’t been updated to 2024 yet… are these officially supported in some fashion? Done by the WOTC designers at all? Or are these 3rd party attempts at stepping these monsters to the 2024 rule set? Any idea?

[vernal fractal]

Everyone got some sort of compensation. Unfortunately we were not able to tell any individual user what they received - there was a large pool of replacement dice and what each person got depended on what they already had.

[winged heart]

is therea reason why i cannot roll to my self ?

[heavy nest]

There is a setting which you can choose that is Roll to Self or Roll to Everyone. The Roll to Self will roll to you and the DM if you are a player.

[vernal fractal]

We did not change any of the roll-to options. Do you have any extensions enabled?

[heavy nest]

Unfortunately I am in the same boat as original poster. I already had all the dice sets, so there was no compensation.

[vernal fractal]

Have you checked your spam folder? Anyone who already had all the dice sets got a second email with additional information.

[heavy nest]

I will check.

[winged heart]

it was the extension thank you! my bad loool

[vernal fractal]

I gotchyoo, boo.

[quaint herald]

As a player user looking at their own sheet, roll to self definitely used to be available as options to default in the gamelog and in the drop down where you would select 'roll to' in the old dice menu in the bottom left. It's only available in the right click menu now and I'm not sure it's working there as no 'to: self' shows in the result.

These locations are where it's missing for me (no extensions). I'm not sure it's incredibly important to have roll to self as a player for default/manual rolls - just isn't there anymore. I don't recall ever actually needing it personally 🤷‍♂️

[dire blade]

Roll to self and roll to DM are the same things in this context. The DM could always see your rolls. There is no change to functionality here, though there is a change in wording.

[quaint herald]

They aren't the same and most definitely did function differently. Maybe they broke that at one point though shrug. Here's an example of the old system that's still available (in an encounter built for a campaign I'm a player in) where both were available - also both are available in the current right click menu.

If the DM user rolled to self they could see their own rolls on any page of course as DDB treats the user as self not the page you have open.

You can see to: dm and to: self. The DM can't (or couldn't) see my to: self rolls when a player. Since self is your own DDB user. Just tested this and it still works from the encounter page. To self hides it from other ddb users, to dm sends it to your own user and the dm user.

[swift perch]

Any news on this issue?

[steel tusk]

As of this morning I’m still having issues where some of my character sheets don’t roll any dice when activated, or update the game log. I can’t even use the dice roller button to manually roll. It also seems like the sheets are running slower too, like when I try to manage inventory

[dapper gazelle]

Further up, some people have been fixing this by disabling / removing plugins. Don't just look for ones that you expect to interact with Beyond like Beyond20 but also consider temporarily disabling popup or security plugins to test. (Obviously, put as many as you can back after testing.) Once you know which one it is, you can pin down what setting it is but generally, anything that messes with website content such as Adblockers, popup blockers, java blockers, or security software, could be messing dice up here. At least once you know you can decide how to proceed.

[dire blade]

I went back and checked some old game recordings from the games I run and I could definitely see "Roll to Self" rolls from my players in the game log. I can't promise it has always been this way, but it was at least true for my games within the 1-2 months prior to the update. Now this isn't to say I don't think personal rolls are useful (they are and I'd like to see them), I just don't think this is a change in functionality afaict.

[steel tusk]

I’ve seen people mention this, but I’m not sure I even use any plugins. At least to my knowledge. I run DnDbeyond on my iPad and that’s about it. I’m not super tech savvy when it comes to plugins

[near ember]

What browser are you using?

[vernal fractal]

Roll to Self was always "Roll to Self+DM". We just adjusted the title to clarify what was actually happening.

[dire blade]

Thanks for confirming that, Zac. I was sure I wasn't crazy.

[ruby zealot]

If “Roll to Self” was always including the DM then renaming it in the menu was a good idea. I was under the impression that I could use that to test new dice types, if “Advantage” was working the way it was supposed to (I’ve had times when it didn’t), if the roll was actually adding the +x in the roll when it should, and so forth. I didn’t realize I was making the DM’s job harder by inundating his screen with rolls he didn’t need to pay attention to.

[quaint herald]

You can test with the old system the way I showed by making an encounter in a campaign your a player in, then look at the log when logged in as the DM and you'll see it doesn't display.

I just did this and confirmed self only shows it for the player user when logged in as a player, and roll to dm showed it to both - just on the dm it showed to:self (as in to:you in this casse) for the rolls players sent to dm . It behaved the same way on the character sheet prior.

Happy to make a video showing this if it would be helpful.

Other then testing rolls without clogging the log for anyone else it's not really needed so not worried about it going forward anyway tbh. So if that's what it's going to be going forward that's not really an issue on my end. Thanks for the response either way 🍻

[vernal fractal]

If you're using the right-click on the character sheet to roll, we know that's broken, have a fix working locally, and should be deploying it shortly!

[steel tusk]

Safari

[unborn kraken]

Dice? We're supposed to use dice? 😉😊 I do love on-screen dice, so seeing active updates is exciting, even when the changes start out a little bit bumpy.

[merry thistle]

Is there any plans in the work for in campaigns for the DM to be able to limit books from being available in the character builder. Being able to limit the actual book instead of just the category of “expanded rules” and being able for the DM to set the limits would be much appreciated

[uneven lantern]

In an AMA on Monday, Brian Perry (DDB’s Executive Producer) said it’s “Definitely a long-time top request we are looking into!”

[random turtle]

So with the changelog, does this mean you've updated the obojima items and alike to 2024 ruleset???

[torn crystal]

yes 🙂

[random turtle]

Not just the characters yeah?

I was waiting to buy it til that was done

[torn crystal]

ah, I've misread your question. This is just subclass updates.

[random turtle]

Is there a plan to do it?

[torn crystal]

Right now, I don't have the answer to that question

[lapis ridge]

Way so does this mean my "Raw Amethyst Gemstone" or "Prehistoric Gemstone" Dice won't work? Cause I still see them as an option under "My Dice"

Or was it a specific "Gemstone" Dice that no longer work?

[dire blade]

Those 2 dice sets are fine. It was specifically "Gemstone Dice" that were removed and compensated.

[near ember]

If you turn the 3d dice off it should roll them. I have never used safari soo I can't help fix it

[lapis ridge]

okay coolness

[lusty void]

I am confused on how to adjust hp on a character. My 3rd lvl gunslinger starts with 8 hp plus his con bonus. Then I roll 2d8 and I put that in rolled hp correct? When I do that the total hp is not correct though

[uneven lantern]

You should have 8+2d8 in that box.

The 3*CON will be added automatically.

[lusty void]

Ok so put the total of the 8+2d8 in rolled

[uneven lantern]

Yep

[lusty void]

Thanks spam

[uneven lantern]

Well… the total of whatever you rolled.

So if your 2d8 was a 10, then you’d put 18 in the box.

If your CON was a +2, it’ll automatically add another 6.

For a total of 24.

[urban robin]

I'm having a lot of lag using Map VTT this week. Anyone else experiencing issues?

I've tried clearing cache/cookies, updating my browser (firefox), restarting my laptop, ensuring the browser graphics options are updated.... its still so laggy that its unusable and i DM a session this weekend. Any suggestions?

[dire blade]

Yes. DM the info in this post to Zac so he can use it as a test case: #ddb-feedback message

[meager temple]

Sorry to ask, where did they post about updating DDB so that 2014 partner content subclasses work with 2024 base classes now?

[uneven lantern]

Here in the changelog:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog#PlayerOptionUpdates

[regal falcon]

Question...{your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.} How would i implement this in hombrew creation?

i have the snippet log but i don't quite understand it

[dense viper]

put a modifier that is a bonus to ac then in that stat selection in that same spot select CON. I will post a screenshot in a minute

[regal falcon]

thank you

[dense viper]

This assumes you already have a subclass feature to add this to

[regal falcon]

anf the same for dex yes?

[dense viper]

10 plus dex is already added by default

[regal falcon]

oh yeah thats right.

[urban robin]

Thanks. Will Do. Tried Edge (blegh), and it works just fine. Must be an interaction with Firefox.

[dire blade]

Possibly! Firefox isn't a Chromium-based browser which changes a lot. I experienced lag with it as well, but as long as Zac gets enough info hopefully the team can figure it out.

[balmy belfry]

Am I missing a setting in the DDB character sheet to apply modifiers for status? I was anticipating levels of exhaustion to automatically reduce rolls or poisoned to apply disadvantage

[dire blade]

You can mark those conditions, but they do not automatically adjust your character sheet at present, no.

Note that this was one of the things that was called out in the recent AMA as possible with the rebuild DNDB is doing.

[balmy belfry]

did not know there was an AMA out

[uneven lantern]

https://www.reddit.com/r/dndnext/comments/1r94yae/comment/o76hhh5/

[red shoal]

Every time i open a character sheet in firefox, my memory gets taken up (like, 100%)
please look into this

Firefox Version 140.8.0esr (64-bit)

[dapper gazelle]

Have you tried disabling any plugins that you may be using? Both popup/script blocker, and gaming related? Lately it has become apparent that plugins are the source of a number of unexplained weirdness cases.

[red shoal]

I have not, but there were no issues yesterday (I am not going to disable my adblocker, as there are no issues on other sites)

[dapper gazelle]

I was thinking temporary. If it turns out that it is the ad blocker, you can decide how to proceed and/or maybe talk to support about other options. I would never recommend people leave these things off on a regular basis.

If you will, part of the problem trying to fix a problem is we have to pin down what is causing the problem.

[red shoal]

(I get that)

[dapper gazelle]

I have to repeat the other one I always hear here.... have you tried a different browser or device?

[red shoal]

yeah, edge works fine

[dapper gazelle]

I always forget the methods to start the browser in safe mode, but it's a nice way to temporarily have a lot of stuff disabled for testing and still be really easy to go back to your usual setup immediately after. You could try that for your specific browser and if it works you can start to pin down which extension or plugin is acting up.

If you're using Beyond20, I know there way some talk that there was a recent DDB update and Beyond20 had not caught up yet, so you can test that one first if you have it.

[red shoal]

I tried safe mode, and it was significantly better, however still a noticible amount of lag

[dapper gazelle]

Weird, and yet, it should be browser specific somehow. Hrm.

[dire blade]

I have seen lots of other performance issues reported on Firefox with the new 3D dice implementation and have witnessed it myself as well. Worked fine pre-update.

I suspect there is something to it all. Zac's been asking for test cases with campaigns showcasing the lag.

[red shoal]

no dice involved for me - i turn that off

[dire blade]

Interesting. Is this new as of the recent update? Could be related all the same.

[uneven lantern]

@foggy kite Broadly speaking, no, you wouldn’t need to purchase them again.

The site won’t let you purchase a book more than once anyway.

However…

A number of subclasses from those books were updated in the 2024 PHB.

If you want to use any of those subclasses on the 2024 class, you’d need that book instead.

[foggy kite]

I already have the 2024 Players Handbook, I got it last Christmas. All I see as options is whatever comes from the PHB

[uneven lantern]

Do you have 2014 Expanded Rules enabled for that character?

You’ll need it on to see any options from those books.

[foggy kite]

so it is still going to stay listed under 2014 instead of 2024?

[loud drift]

until they are officially updated, yes

[uneven lantern]

Each book (i.e. each source) belongs to exactly one source category.

Those books are both in 2014 Expanded Rules.

Disabling that category will therefore disable those books.

[foggy kite]

thanks, that makes sense. I could see them under 2014, yes, but I wasn't sure if mechanically it is the same thing

thanks for the help 🙂

[crude venture]

I am trying to search through my DND beyond library for the sword of the Dales, and unfortunately, it is giving me a list of sources that include every word of that item

Is there a way to search multiword subjects without including every word in the search? Or all as one word or search?

[hybrid nova]

Have you tried using quotes?

[dense viper]

I was going to suggest that but tried it first and it didnt work

[peak comet]

Is Ddb updated to 5e 2024?

[crude venture]

Mine personally or the app in general? 🤨 either way, both answers or yes.

[crude venture]

That was my first thought too and even tried a couple different variations 🤷 still rolling in that one on this one

[dense viper]

Also isnt the Sword of the Dales a 2nd edition item?

[crude venture]

I believe it is in one of the fifth edition books 🤨 I remember one of my groups talking about it or possibly reading about it in a recent source books,

[dense viper]

My google search is only pulling 2nd edition information is why I ask

[dire blade]

The Sword of the Dales is not an official 5e item, no.

[crude venture]

No worries, I’ve asked about the item in the DND lore channel. Just pose the question on narrowing down, searches in here.

[dense viper]

You could also try #dnd-elder-editions

[dire blade]

The search capability is notoriously bad on DNDB, and is one of the things in the recent AMA that was identified for improvement with the rebuild happening this year.

[crude venture]

Thank you for that information. 😀 much appreciated.

[dire blade]

It was I believe also mentioned in the blog post recently.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, there’s no fifth edition book by that name — and thus no such book on DDB.

[dire blade]

Yep, just checked and search is called out here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2132-d-d-beyonds-2026-development-roadmap

[crude venture]

I was specifically searching in the source books that I have access to just FTR

[uneven lantern]

Ah

There’s a couple references in FRAIF.

In the Dalelands chapter.

[crude venture]

I’m trying to avoid having to read through the entire adventures in Faerun which is why I asked about the search feature 🤷

[dire blade]

The section you want is here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/fraif/the-dalelands#SpiderhauntWood

[graceful juniper]

They finally ported the 3rd Party subclasses to 2024. But Chronurgy does not get Graviturgy spells on the list even though it should (and vice versa). I tried posting a bug fix forum on D&D beyond, but people there think that they are exclusive to their respective subclasses. Can someone plz help me? (Link to my mentioned forum page: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/236842-chronurgy-wizard-does-not-have-access-to#c3)

[dire blade]

Yeah, these subclasses need a hidden feature to add those spells to the spell list. I had to do this for my homebrew version a while back.

I'm not sure what we can help with respect to the forum post, but a moderator here I believe has already reported this to the devs (though they will see this and report it if not).

[crude venture]

Thank both you and spam and tuna for the help 😀 very much appreciated

[unkempt pasture]

Hello, noticed a change to the rolling in DnD Beyond. Can we not toggle self? Tried Game Log and only have DM and Everyone?

[rancid cedar]

Every time someone else in my campaign rolls, the page crashes in my browser.

[rancid cedar]

How do we turn off seeing other rolls in our page so I can use the site at all?

[loud drift]

Only the DM has a roll to self option, the old player option that said to self was actually rolling to self+DM and they renamed it for clarity

[unkempt pasture]

Understood thank you!

[dire blade]

In the bottom left of the character sheet there is a dice icon. Click it and deselect 3D dice.

[dire blade]

Additionally, can you post the browser, browser version, and campaign ID in #ddb-maps-vtt so it can be used for diagnostics?

[dapper gazelle]

Anyone know how to add the 2024 Homunculus Servant to a character? Not the spell itself but the creature stats?

[uneven lantern]

If you want to add it to Extras, you’ll need to create a homebrew monster and calculate its stats based on your character and preferred spell level.

[idle pivot]

Has anyone else been having an issue where the Pugilist class isn't showing up properly on the Map TTV? My players icon and stats aren't accurately displayed when I'm running a combat session.

[left mesa]

Not sure if this is the right place, however I am wondering if I start a campaign, and say, my kids join on their own version of DND beyond, will they be able to build characters using the books I own, or would they easy need to buy each book?

[clear onyx]

They can access the books you own on dndbeyond, you just need to enable content sharing iirc

[fading bramble]

which you need a master tier sub for

[left mesa]

Yeah I grabbed a master subscription cos I wanted to try my hand at writing a campaign (and my kiddos are being my Guinea pigs)

[dire blade]

Then yes, should work fine with content sharing enabled!

Note that to make characters using your books, the characters must be made in the game, but they will be able to read your shared books either way.

[left mesa]

I am super pleased by this. I’m struggling to keep my character and kids ones sorted out.

[dapper gazelle]

Technically to use the DDB term for it, they need to be in your campaign, not your game.

[rancid cedar]

No, I want to see my dice rolls in 3D but I do not want to everyone else's to show up.

[crude pier]

So in regards to the Monster Hunter from Grimhollow (I'm also posting this in the feedback channel since I'm not quite sure which is the most appropriate for this), the Trapper Guild Subclass has the Monster Hide Armor feature at level 15, there are three main issues with it.
1.- The Armor does not create a new item just a tab in the Feature so you need to modify an armor name (not a big issue just an issue)
2.- The Hardening Modification has been updated in the PDF so the bonus is just a static +2 rather than a +2 for Light Armor and +4 for Medium Armor, but in the Character Builder it still has the Light and Medium values.
3.- The Hardening Modification when selected does not show up if an Armor is Equipped, Instead it only shows up if no armor is equipped and its under the "Unarmored Defense" tab in the AC tab of the sheet.

[split hedge]

Wait, is it true the Grim Hollow Player Pack is 2024 compatible now?

[dense viper]

From here (https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog)

Partner Subclasses Now Available for 2024 Classes
One of our more exciting updates: almost all the remaining 2014 partner subclasses are can now be played using the 2024 classes! A massive thanks to our partners for working with us to get this available to everyone.

These updates are already available to use within the Character Builder; you will not need to repurchase anything to access these subclasses. Here is the list of all the titles and respective subclasses:

Grim Hollow: Player Pack

Barbarian: Path of the Carrion Raven
Fighter: Blade Breaker
As a note, our friends at Ghostfire Gaming requested that we not update the other subclasses from this player pack (Bard: College of Requiems, Cleric: Inquisition Domain, Paladin: Oath of Zeal, and Rogue: Misfortune Bringer) as they were updated in Grim Hollow: Player's Guide.

[magic jolt]

Is there a way to prepare a spell without it counting against your number of prepared spells?

I have the magic initiate feat and the spell I chose isn’t showing up as a prepared spell so I can’t cast it from my character sheet, only the single use/LR

[uneven lantern]

I think you’d need to make a homebrew copy of the subclass for that.

We users don’t currently have the ability to add spell-slot spells through a feat.

[copper crest]

Is there a way to create an attack dealing 2d8+Str+1 damage with a str+prof+1 to hit? I can't find a way changing the to Hit using the custom actions

[real path]

custom actions are pretty limited with their bonuses. best bet is to make a custom magic weapon i think

[dapper gazelle]

Almost everything else there is possible except that D&D Beyond is not great with allowing you to change the base damage on a weapon.

This is why you will almost inevitably end up with some kind of custom action or Homebrew weapon.

[brisk bane]

why am I not seeing Book of Ancient Secrets or Eldritch Sight that's my plan B in my invocation options? I took Pact of the Tome at level 1, now I'm leveling to 3.

[uneven lantern]

Invocations aren’t yet cross-compatible between the two Warlock classes.

[brisk bane]

so it's a 2024 to 2014 thing?

guessI'll just have to scribble in what I actually want.

[edgy oriole]

Yeah its a limitation of the underlying D&DBeyond technology so 2024 and 2014 warlock invocations are different

[versed crag]

Is anyone having issues with loading homebrew submitted content? I keep getting 500 Error? Tried different browsers, clearing cookies and cache etc

[late mist]

hello i bought the lineages races back in 2022
today i went to make a dhampir and its not showing up on my species list wtf is going on

[dense viper]

From the above changelog.

Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft

Lineages have been split into separate pieces; the Dhampir, Hexblood, and Reborn species will now appear separately on the website and in the Character Builder.

[late mist]

none of them are showing up at all on the list for me

its acting like i never bought them at all witch is bull cause im staring at my order history rn

[dense viper]

I just check myself and with all the sources turned on they arent showing up for me either.

But they show up under my list of Current Product License

[late mist]

same

ok

[dire blade]

You don't see this on the Species page? It's sourced underneath the spot for Strixhaven. Unless you mean in the character builder? Let me test that next.

[dense viper]

I didnt see it in the builder. Thats where I was testing

[dire blade]

Do you have 2014 Expanded Rules enabled? You'd also need Legacy/Noncore enabled to see Dhampir.

They show up just fine for me with those enabled.

[late mist]

still not showing

[dire blade]

Do you own the book?

[late mist]

i bought it back in 2022 when you could still buy peicemeal

i bought lineages specifically

[dense viper]

I had everything all on but no I only own the speices not the full book

[dire blade]

Interesting, that might be the wrinkle causing it to show up strange. I believe what's happening is that the newly created species aren't connected for folks who purchased them piecemeal back when that was possible and was only hooked up for owners of the entire book.

A moderator can report that upwards and get it resolved.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, I’d bet that’s the cause. I’ll flag it with the devs.

[dense viper]

Thank you Spam

[late mist]

ty please to fix yesyes

[marble coyote]

Anyone else starting to see 504 errors?

[wet birch]

Yep.

[tacit ermine]

Here as well, downdetector showing it as well

[wet birch]

And the VTT is saying hardware support is disabled (it is most certainly not)

[proper dagger]

Yes lagging out here too

The homepage loaded up at first, but now anything else times out

[graceful linden]

erroring out on my end as well 🙁

[dusty steeple]

is anyone else 504 timeing out? I get this message on both chrome and firefox

[tacit ermine]

yea we're getting that too

[lost kiln]

Getting connection issues mid session!

[tacit ermine]

for some reason I can open the My Characters page but nothing else

[wet birch]

Plus VTT says this ("hardware accerlation is not enabled. Please enable it in your browser settings.")

[tacit ermine]

glad we printed out our character sheets last session 🎉

[marble coyote]

I love how the website was fine all day and now when im about to start my game it shits the bed

[wet birch]

I hear you, brother/sister

[grizzled helm]

anyone else having issues with dice rolling since the change while using Beyond 20. it will either roll on D&D Beyond or Roll20 But not both and seemingly random as to which. (BTW I do NOT use Beyond 20 but many of my players do)

[marble coyote]

all with zero mention from the support staff

[verbal creek]

Hey, the website's acting up.

504 Gateway time-out

[dire blade]

It's working for me, weirdly.

Must be a gateway issue.

[loud drift]

For beyond 20 issues you'll have to reach out to their developer. That's not an official DDB plug-in and no one here would be able to assist with it.

[verbal creek]

That's what I said. Should I wait a bit?

[tacit ermine]

hm, seems to be back up for me, or at least i can access Campaign/Character sheets.

[grizzled helm]

it is and has been VERY laggy since the huge update.

[dire blade]

The lag is a separate issue for sure. We've been providing Zac (WOTC DNDB PM) with test cases for that issue in #ddb-feedback.

[grizzled helm]

very frustrating while trying to DM my paid campaigns that we had to fight it, two different groups this week

[short tiger]

I can get to the main homepage and character but most other pages either give me "connection could not be secured" or 503 Gateway error.

[dire blade]

I recommend turning off 3D dice for the time being, but some measure of the lag is not associated with 3D dice so it isn't foolproof.

[short tiger]

Site seems to be working again for me.

[marble coyote]

It is SLOW but working

[grizzled helm]

but the 3D dice is a HUGE draw and loved by all. what a shame if i have to turn it off. but i guess lag isnt even the correct term. its more like the site keeps going down, giving 503 and 504 errors in the middle of using it

[verbal creek]

Same. Must've had a wild surge or something. /jk

[fossil ermine]

We're also having problems with the rolls from DnD Beyond not rolling to everyone even though we tell it to.

[halcyon warren]

Hi maybe someone might be able to answer this please regarding D&D Beyond
Ive been looking at making back up characters so i rolled and i got this 6 5 3 2 it say 14 above but 6 5 3 2 equals 16 not 14 why would it say 14 ?

[dense viper]

Its doing 4d6 drop the lowest

[uneven lantern]

Determine your ability scores by using one of the following three methods. Your DM might prefer you to use a particular one.

Random Generation. Roll four d6s and record the total of the highest three dice. Do this five more times, so you have six numbers.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/phb-2024/creating-a-character#GenerateYourScores

[dapper gazelle]

From way back in some of the earliest editions of D&D, Rolled stats when used are always eventually some combination of 3 dice, i.e., a range of 3 to 18. When extra dice are rolled, it is usually just a way of trying to get that 3 to 18 higher. In this case, roll 4, sum the 3 highest.

[regal dagger]

I bought the grim hollow players guide and paid with my credit card, the payment was succeed but I dont have it?

[violet fiber]

Check to see if your entitlements are in sync

[regal dagger]

I went to order transactions but its empty

no order history...

[dire blade]

Did you get an email about the purchase?

[regal dagger]

nope ;-;

[dire blade]

I'd maybe give it a little bit. The purchase should be confirmed by an email, and then after that you may have to sync entitlements to get the content to show up for you.

If you don't have the content within a few hours I'd submit a support ticket over it.

?tag ddb support

[loud sedge]

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

Usually I get these emails within minutes, but it's not impossible that it can take longer.

[dense viper]

Also check to make sure the email didnt get caught in a spam filter

[dapper gazelle]

Also good to check the credit card. If the credit card hasn't charged, the purchase may still be pending or may never have been properly completed. If the card is charged and you still don't have your stuff, you may need to do some of the above, i.e., wait a bit, look for a confirmation e-mail, sync your entitlements, and if none of that works, contact support.

?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.

[dapper gazelle]

^^ At least for entitlements, see the above. If content is not listed here, you should not have access unless someone is sharing with you.

Also, if you bought a physical copy of the book, be aware that doesn't automatically give you digital access. You have to have paid for a digital copy to get digital access.

[lost kiln]

Had a session last night and tried using D&D Beyond Maps. First we had [the initial connection issues](#ddb-support message) which made it difficult for players to even login to the app and see their character sheets. Then, once people finally got in the connection was shaky all night. Dice weren’t rolling properly, and only some players could see the results even after refreshing their page throughout the night. Modifiers would randomly not add to rolls. The delay between when we clicked rolls and when the results showed up was terrible.

Overall, it was a 1/10 experience and really slowed down the game during a pretty big boss fight session for us. I’ve had nothing but good things to say about the efforts to improve Maps because I think it’s a great direction for DDB to go. But I don’t know if I’m willing to rely on it anymore. It’s hard to justify paying for my master tier sub honestly.

[icy thicket]

Can we do a call later today so you can help?

But mainly the dice rolls.

I cant seem to get the to work

[dense viper]

Not everyone has time to join voice calls. But if you can send screenshots of what you have someone can try to help you fix it

[icy thicket]

Ok

Do i send them in here?

[dense viper]

Yeah

A description of what you are trying to do would also be helpful

[dire blade]

You need to add Actions to the subclass features themselves. Like this:

[icy thicket]

Lemme try that

[uneven lantern]

When you’re adding that action, make sure to check “Display As Attack” for anything you want to have a dice roll (even if it’s not technically an attack).

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

hello im looking through homebrew stuff and cant seem to sort by rating anymore?

Just checking to see if anyone has figured out fixes for making character sheets work with the new dice roller. Seems like everyone has varying degrees of success. I used ddb on iPad Pro and have tried safari and chrome on both normal and private/icognito. With multiple sheets open, some roll “fine” with the 3d dice enabled (albeit slow), others refuse to do so and I must turn it completely off which only shows totals in game log pop up. Which is so unhelpful for figuring out what your actual roll was. Even still, just scrolling down the sheet is noticeably slow and distracting. I have plenty of physical dice to roll, but even just checking features is an eyesore

Hi, so I joined a Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaign and we just got to level 3. My DM has agreed to let me play a homebrew subclass that I made for barbarian, but I can't select it when I'm changing the character's subclass on D&D Beyond. Could anyone help me with figuring out how to make this work?

[dense viper]

Did you make to for the right version of Barbarian? Assuming you are playing a 2024 barbarian did you make the homebrew for that version of barbarian?

This barbarian and not this one

[summer basalt]

The campaign is 2014 and I think I made the homebrew for 2014. Let me find the links real quick.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/100569106 My barbarian in the campaign. And this should be the homebrew. https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/2190875-barbarian/subclass/2749311/edit

[dense viper]

I cant look at the homebrew but if you open it which logo is shown to you for the barbarian?

You want it to show this one if it doesnt you made it for the wrong version

[summer basalt]

It doesn't really show it for any class/I'm not seeing any symbols.

[dense viper]

Dont open it in the editor.

Up at the top where it says creations in the menu that loads after clicking it find your homebrew and look at it without editing it

Here is an example of a subclass i have.

[summer basalt]

How do I change it? to the other version?

[dense viper]

You have to remake it for the correct version

There isnt an easy copy and past to change versions

[rose raven]

are 2014 artificer infusions broken for anyone else?

[summer basalt]

They've worked fine for me, until my DM allowed me to switch to 2024 artificer. Which infusions are the problem?

[shadow fog]

Trying to join a campaign , says "cant join with that character" , im not in any other games with that character this instant , any clue?

[dense viper]

Clear your cache and refresh the webpage.

It may have joined but didnt show a joined message

[shadow fog]

Maybe my dm can resend the link , since that didnt work

[finite epoch]

I've been having issues with my character sheet today. Dice don't roll when I click them.

I can sometimes get the number results to show up but the dice never actually physically roll

[dire blade]

You need to disable 3rd party extensions like Beyond20
