The only thing I haven't tried on my end is uninstalling and reinstalling the app and I hate doing that because I always lose my bookmarked lists and then I can never quite make them again
Ok so I may just be an idiot but I haven't had this happen before... I had to go in and reactivate all of my characters manually
Good to know
Any chance you had to relogin recently? Sometimes if you click on the wrong link on the login page, you'll end up with blank stuff even if you otherwise typed in the correct e-mail. E.g., when I logged on with a Gmail to Twitch instead of through Gmail, I don't get those characters or any of their owned books. Or that's what it used to do for me. Haven't tried it in a while. But otherwise, I think you have to wait on support.
Question, if I wanted to homebrew a feat that added one or more spells to a characters spell list (similar to the dragonmark feats) how would I do that? I know how to do it with a background, but can't figure it out with feats.
We users can’t do that with feats.
You’d need a background, species, or subclass.
Tragic
So I built a homebrew feat for Warrior of Shadow Monk, yet shows up as unavailable because, apparently, the Warrior of Shadow Monk I built it for isn't a Warrior of Shadow Monk? 🤔🤔
Feats aren't locked to 5e or 5.5e by default. Are you applying some kind of prerequisite to it? It's possible if you tried to set it up that way that you could have used the wrong edition for your prerequisite. My recommendation here, though, would be to just remove the prerequisite and add it to your character when appropriate for your needs.
I know that's one way to fix it. It's just odd that I added a class prerequisite and the site doesn't let the character who fits that class use it
Seems broken to me.
Are you working with the Warrior of Shadow subclass for
or the Way of Shadow subclass for
?
It's possible it's broken, just want to check that first.
Both are 100% Warrior of Shadow.
I've known prerequisites to misbehave and haven't tested this one specifically, so it may be broken. I know the developers intend to revisit and improve/fix homebrew once the new character builder is finished, so hopefully things like this are tackled then.
Could you share some screenshots of how you set up the prerequisites, and what it shows on the sheet?
I'll have to add it back... give me a few minutes
how do i go about making this moddifer in dndb
You have thick, leathery skin. While you aren't wearing armor, your base Armor Class is 13 + your Dexterity modifier
Set: Unarmored Armor Class
Fixed Value: 3
(It includes 10+Dex by default.)
I've tried removing the prerequisite and it still shows up as unavailable. I signed out and it was still showing as a needed prerequisite.
I created a copy of it and the copy isn't showing up in either homebrew list after a sign out/in
Homebrew edits can take a short while before they appear on the sheet.
I have worked around that by making a homebrew magic item that has those spells. It’s not perfect because it doesn’t show them as prepared spells but as “at will” or with uses (charges), but it does make them appear on the spell list.
I ended up just editing the characters background
I'm homebrewing a subclass and I'd like to include a free cast of a spell per Long Rest. How do I do so?
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question, if so please tell me where to.
I am a Master Tier DM with Shared Content already on 5 parallel campaigns (due to some of them beeing played once a month, I managed to fill all my slots for Shared Content).
I know that if I want to share content with a sixth campaign (in order to give all my player more options to build their characters) I have to disable it on one of my other ones.
Is there a way (paying some fee) to get more "Shared Content" slots?
There is not.
Anyone in the group can activate Content Sharing. It doesn’t have to be the DM.
And once it’s active, everyone’s books get shared, including yours.
oh, I see, so the workaround could be to have one other MasterTier player in the campaign
When adding the spell, there’s a “Number of Uses” field you can use.
Just put a 1 there.
Got it. What about the "consumes spell slot, counts as a known spell, and always prepared" areas I usually see filled, just leave that blank?
If you leave them blank, they’ll all get switched to No.
Which should be fine in your case.
Thanks! It seemed to have worked.
Is there a reason that Dragon Slayer Longswoed, Rapier, and some others show Legacy while many other weapons do not? We're those weapons not updated by the 2024 Dragon Slayer?
I'm getting:
This Subclass cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
I put them at 3, 6, 10, and 14 for a Warlock, so I don't see what's wrong. I didn't have this issue before, and this is just a new version of a subclass I made previously.
- It's not generally useful to publish your homebrew like that. It isn't necessary to use it in your campaigns and it makes editing it for your own games harder later.
- If you insist on publishing, usually resaving it at the top-level (ie. subclass view) will retrigger the error checking process.
Also, since you didn't specify, you are using
and not
, correct? Subclass levels changed between editions.
Yes, 2024.
Sometimes there's a weird glitch that can be fixed by creating a lvl 1 subclass feat that doesn't actually have anything and doesn't do anything.
Spam said the other day that had been fixed on the few classes that used to require it, so I am taking them at their word.
It isn't a bad idea to create/delete a feature, though, to jostle the error checking.
New dice rolling math? These numbers a) don't add up, b) achieve the same result with different numbers:
😉 Maybe we need to mark "Reliable Talent" in the result box to avoid confusion.
Are you using some kind of third-party extension there to add Reliable Talent?
Yeah, I can't reproduce that locally without extensions. It surely must be one.
I asked the user in question and he was using Beyond20, so that answers that. Thank you!
when I have a spell granted by Magic Initiate feat, aren't I supposed to have it displayed twice, the second one with a normal button "Cast"?
It appears to be a bug. I have the same problem. But generally, one would think yes, since the spell is prepared and thus can be upcast.
It will do that in cases where the rules assign a specific spell. That’s not currently possible in cases where the user chooses their own spell.
Got it. Thanks
Also, I noticed, "Ritual Caster" feat doesn't display spells at all
Yeah, that’s a known issue.
Pretty sure both those things need the upcoming Game Platform before they can be addressed.

You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.
were is the souce bard starterpack from?
I see a starter pack for each main class, my guess is it's probably small digital bundles of subclasses and maybe a few other things associated with that particular class set to release later?
oke
Is everything ok with the website? People can't see the shared content
Can you share more information? Everhing is working fone for me
I created a campaign and shared content. From another account I'm trying to create a character and I get only free content available
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.
yes, checked
Is the character assigned to that campaign?
yes, I create a character via the campaign link
Is there a shared contend list in the campaign
Can you give a specific example of a shared option they can’t select?
I have PHB 2024. They should have all Background for example, yet this is what they see:
only 4 backgrounds
Is that book listed here under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses
Hmm… 🤔
what books dous it show if for you press content menagement in the campain formorain?
Just to double-check…
- Content Sharing is enabled for the campaign.
- Someone in the campaign owns the book.
- The character is assigned to the campaign.
- The player has synced their entitlements.
If all those are true, I’d expect those backgrounds to appear.
So if they are all true and you’re still not seeing it, you may want to contact customer support.

I’d recommend contacting customer support, then.
Let them know you’ve already checked those things, too.
ok, will do. Thanks
Can you try to restart your browser
No idea. Where are you seeing this? 🤔
I already cleared Cache and Cookies
In the sources search for magic items
Very strange 
I've cracked the case. When I create a character via the campaign link, it creates 2 characters for some reason, and only one is assigned. When you go along the character creation, it's not the one that is assigned to the campaign.
It sounds confusing, but the issue is definitely there
can't believe i've waited a whole week for Mark of Healing to be fixed again
I've never seen these before. Bizarre.
I can reproduce this issue. It creates a character in the campaign, but it also creates a character not in the campaign, and the auto-clickthrough for the character after creating it from the campaign link has you editing the one that ISN'T in the campaign. 100% a bug.
precisely! Additionally, if you go to the campaign, and there click Edit on your character, it will create another one.
What works is that you have to go to your characters and edit it from there. And then assign the one created to the campaign. As a workaround at least
Hi did you solve this? We can't seem to see shared subclasses only seeing life domain Cleric?
Content sharing is enabled. Synced my entitlements i have master tier and all thay stuff
yes, I explained in the previous message
That doesn't seem to have worked for us... hmmm frustrating
But perhaps I wasn’t clear.
It will create 2 characters. Go to your characters, delete the one that is not assigned to the campaign and just edit the one that is
most importantly, do it via Characters menu, not Campaign
Ohhh thank you so much!!!!!
I forgot to mention that you will have to join the campaign again with this new character, but I suppose you’ve figured that out
Pro Tip when Homebrewing:
If you create an item based on one type of item, if will not save the changes properly if you change the Base Item Type.
I discovered this when I went to create a magic arrow. I started by making an item based on Arrows +2. As I was filling out the changes, I realized it would make more sense for it to be a quiver which enchants the arrows.
Because I had already done a bunch of work, starting from scratch wasn't ideal, so I changed the Base Item Type from Weapon to Item and finished things. After saving changes and returning to My Homebrew Creations, it came up as Copy_Of... and none of the changes kept properly. It was also flagged as being too similar to publish.
Also remember you don’t have to publish D&DBeyond homebrew to be able to use it and share it in your DDB campaigns.
Publish it only if it meets the rules for publication, after it’s been thoroughly playtested and you want to share it with the global DDB community
Right, but if it's not formatted in the builder properly it won't work with the character sheet appropriately.
I’ve let the devs know. Thanks!
Fixed!
thanks a lot!
They created the 2024 cleric
and need to change it to the 2014 cleric 
ooooooh
How woud i go about making this
You gain proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.
You’ll need to use Options.
Set up each choice (like Deception) as its own Option.
Inside, add a Modifier to grant proficiency with the chosen skill (i.e. “Proficiency — Deception”).
As for choosing two of them, look in the feature for a field called “Levels Where Options Known”.
Putting something like 3,3 would give them two choices at level 3.
I built a homebrew species but my player can't access it despite having homebrew turned on
Make sure they are building their character in the campaign. Homebrew isn’t shared the same way that content is.
I ran into an issue with my character as I was editing it to just see what the other feats do. For my 4th ability improvment I had Shield Master feat selected and I picked a new feat when editing to see the benefits to the other feat but then I was no longer able to select Shield Master. I attached the 2 screenshots as I have a copy of this character in a different campaign that still has this feat in that slot. How do i get my Sheild Master Feat back.
I’m guessing you don’t own the PHB, and that while it was shared with that character in the past, it no longer is.
In which case you’d need to either buy the PHB, or have it shared in that character’s current campaign.
ahh i bought it for the DM in my other campaign as a gift so I guess i need to own it then. It just came over with the copy. that makes sense
Thank you I got the PHB and that fixed it. The options became available to me. The DM in the new campaign wasnt sharing that book.
While I've added the two options for my homebrew species (the species has a choice between sylvan or celestial for a rare language or can forgo it completely in my mind) it's not appearing in the options when my player goes to build their character
Have you pressed save and you need to wait 10 minutes or so for it to update
Let me try it, will the way I have it set out work?
I think that is should work
I honestly DK what I'm doing wrong
Which of these would usually let you add even the rare languages table?
Try choose a rare language instead of a standard language
This is going to grant them those languages automatically.
If you check the Languages section on the sheet itself, you should see them both there.
Not what I was looking unfortunately, is there a way to let them choose between a sylvan or celestial or a third standard language?
You’ll need to use Options.
Set up each possible choice as its own Option, then add the appropriate Modifier inside.
So inside your Sylvan Option, you’ll add that Modifier that grants Sylvan.
Sorry for the bit of miss information here
Okay, and they can choose to leave that option alone?
You're good! Ty for helping
The drip down gives access to a list of traits rather than the option to add sylvan, would I need to make an individual trait that says they can choose between celestial or sylvan instead of using languages options
Are you referring to the Prerequisite Species Trait Option selection there?
You probably want to leave that blank.
Remove it, hit Save, then you should see an option to add a Modifier.
You’ll want to add one with Type: Language, Subtype: Sylvan.
Ah ok, Ty
I'm assuming you mean the modifier section within the option itself? Or do you mean the options I was in before?
Yes, inside the Option.
Anything you want to apply when that Option is selected needs to be inside it.
Must be my internet then, nothings showing up under modifier
I don't see anyone else talking about it, but was having a major glitch in a live game on DDB VTT today where several players' dice would roll correctly, load into the game log, and then immediately glitch out and show as 'Custom: Roll' and only show the base number without the modifier.
Some players tried refreshing the page, changing their dice selection, but it kept happening without a clear reason as to why (i.e., some rolls came through clean and then on a later turn the glitch would happen again).
The games over now, but wanted to mention in case anyone else is getting the glitch.
An image of the game log for reference:
Was anyone using a third-party browser extension like Beyond20? That can cause issues (it's a 3rd party extension and neither D&DBeyond nor Roll20 have anything to do with it)
Lmao tysm, that's so silly
I am trying to write up a homebrew subclass in the D&D Beyond Homebrew editor. I am presented with this:
This Subclass cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
- This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass.
- Soul Warden is currently too similar to Circle of Spores to share with the community.
- This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.
How on earth do I figure out what the licensed data is?
Circle of Spores?! That is a Druid subclass, I am writing a subclass for Sorcerer. Other than the obvious (a description, and sub-class features at level 3, 6, 14 and 18) I don't see the resemblence?
And the last one? What class features with what levels are missing?
In other words... Help? 😉
First: those errors only apply if you want to publish it to the global community. If you just wanna use it in your own campaign, it’s shared with them automatically. You can safely ignore those warnings and use it as-is.
If you do actually want to publish it, though, try hitting the main button for your subclass first. That will re-trigger the validator and hopefully clear those errors. If not, then we’ll need to dig deeper.
I am aware that I can use my subclass within my own campaign no matter what. But I think, of course, that this subclass is amazing, and I would really like to share it with the community.
I am not sure what you mean by this:
try hitting the main button for your subclass first
Sorry, that should have said main save button.
If you go to the main editing page for your subclass, which lists the subclass features, there’s a save button under Basic Information.
Ok, I had filled out some of these. I cleared them all and saved. Then I only have the licensed data mapped warning left.
So, I assume this is because I have spells referenced that are in PHB or other books? If I could keep the spells to Basic Rules only that would be Ok?
The licensed data warning means it’s referring to something outside of the Basic Rules.
A spell, most likely.
Yeah, bingo 👍
Well that sucks. I understand why, of course, since from a purely mechanical viewpoint, it would make the subclass unusable by people who did not have the appropriate books. But having to remove or replace many of these spells would ruin the subclass completely.
Ok, it appears that it actually are only 3 spells that are non-basic rules. So that should be doable. I'll just have to make two versions then. A public version and a private that has the "right" spells. I still think it sucks though 😉
Another issue I am having is, I grant a spell at level 3 with two uses per long rest. I'd like this to increase at levels 6, 14 and 18 so a character at level 14 e.g. could use this spell 4 times per long rest. Right now I grant the spell with the respective number of uses at each feature, but this results in the spell being granted multiple times, not replaced.
Not sure that’s really possible…
You could give it a number of uses equal to their proficiency bonus.
Which would start at 2, and give them an extra use each at levels 5, 9, 13, and 17.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/br-2024/creating-a-character#CharacterAdvancement
Or you could set it based on an ability modifier.
Hmm.. The proficiency bonus thing is not a bad idea. I was messing around with the Homebrew Editor.. It is not particularly intuitive, I am sorry to say. But I noticed that I could maybe use an action?
- Action Type. Spell
- Reset Type: Long Rest
- Limited Use:
It would not figure as a spell, but as an action, but with usage management and then I could just duplicate the necessary text from the spell
That won’t add an actual spell.
You could use it to add a separate tracker with the right number of checkboxes at the right levels.
But it would be completely divorced from the spell itself.
That is ok, I think. My idea is that it is a spell-like ability, but not actually a spell. So this would probably work better anyway.
I mean technically it would probably behave like a spell, but the idea is it is an innate ability, that improves with experience.
Oh yeah, then an action should work just fine.
And makes sharing it easier, too.
Make sure to give it a Reset Type (Long Rest).
Yeah. I also figured out which 3 spells was blocking me from publishing it, so I have found 3 replacemens from Basic Rules that should work. Then I can just make a private version as well with the "right" spells 😉
Then after you save, you’ll see a Limited Use section you can use to add the checkboxes.
Cool. This seems to work nicely. Ok. Final question (for now).
I have another spell effect that is activated by using sorcery points. How would I make the homebrew editor understand something like this?
Essentially, I want a spell that does not cost spell slots and is always prepared, but requires sorcery points. How to do that?
That one’s not really possible.
spells from feats don't have the "always prepared" option?
They don’t need it. That’s effectively the default there.
Any spell provided by a feat is always in addition to your class spells.
Hmmm... Any idea on how to achieve something like it? I mean, if necessary it will just have to be by manual book keeping: "I cast this feature spell, and then I cross off x sorcery points."
Argh! The [spell]..[/spell] notation links to the 2014 version of spells! That is not acceptable. How do I change that?
Nevermind, found it.
Is it possible to homebrew additional Hit Points per level based on the CON. modifier?
I dont see a way to automatically adjust the number bases on a stat, but you could use the tough feat as base and just change the number manually
The old Way of the Elements monk had a similar rule, letting the player use Ki Points to cast certain spells.
On DDB, they added the spells as “At Will”, and the player had to manually subtract the correct number of Ki Points.
I imagine the upcoming Game Platform will make that easier for the devs, at least.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/en/roadmap
But it might take longer until we homebrewers get that ability.
Yes that's the conclusion I have come to as well. Let the player cast the spell at will and then manually handle the SP.
I’m looking for the Elder Flame digital dice set: I was not a subscriber at the time when it was available as a perk. Is there a way to get these dice? Especially now since shared dice is a thing on DDB’s VTT
"Shared dice" isn't the same as shared content, it's just seeing what other peoples dice look lilke when they roll. That said, the only dice currently available are found here: https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/digi-dice not counting the ones that have been freely claimable
?tag ddb claim
The following items on D&D Beyond can be claimed at no cost.
I can't talk about specifics right now, but we have a number of different ways to acquire more dice from the back catalogue that will be coming online in the future. Elder Flame is included in one of those lists.
With the launch of Shared Dice, we made the following dice available to everyone - no claimables necessary:
- Basic Black
- Icewind Dale
- Battle for Beyond Dice Pack
- Fuzzy Dice
- Dice of Healing
- Bigby's Hand
Shared Dice in a sense that the dice roll and the dice set can be seen by all the players in the campaign on VTT.
personally I don't understand why you need any dice other than Fuzzy Dice. But you do you.
because dice goblins exist, even digitally
I just want dice per character. One day.
It's on my quality of life improvements roadmap, which we are dedicating continuous resourcing to.
For now I use just one ‘neutral enough set’ for all my characters, but I would 100% give each character their own dice (and buy more) if they could be assigned per character.
Totally, yeah. I get it.
The BG3 dice is a trap lol the nat 1 and nat 20 look SO similar that whenever it rolls, I’m either thoroughly disappointed or pleasantly surprised 😅 😅 😅
Has anyone tried the new subscriber perk die that came out yesterday yet?
I just keep swapping them. The new interface actually makes dice set updates easier.
Is the website asking for age and location a new feature, or has it been around longer?
Its been around since the start of Feburary 2026.
Well… February is when it became mandatory.
There was a months-long leadup to it.
I see, and will they have to announce further restrictions like this should any further ones appear in the future?
And does it stay in the memory or do you have to enter it in each time you log in?
Hello
We are kinda at the start of our character building and we have a new ability scoreEngineering ability score. It's like strength and wisdom etc.
This is a homebrew campaign
But here is the thing, with normal blank sheet we have strength, dexterity, charm, Wisdom, constitution, intelligence.
So what do we do?
Also this is a ww1 steampunk campaign and we can maintain our guns and tinker with them. Mechas are in later on. And for traps we can disable them if we roll an 8 or higher I think. If it is 4 trap disabling fails and we go boom.
It's just once unless you somehow clear it out.
Wait, I remember you.
How are you bro?
It's a homebrew system so I'd ask the GM running the game
D&DBeyond is made for regular D&D and the more you go into homebrew stuff that goes beyond what normal D&D expects and uses in its rules and mechanics, the less D&DBeyond can support it.
You might be better off using a PDF sheet if it's so different than normal D&D expectations and mechanics.
He doesn't know
Like how to add the engineering ability score
To the sheet
D&D doesn't have engineering as a mechanic or skill.
We are using a pdf sheet. But that sheet as I said has ability scores for strength wisdom etc.
It does not have one for engineering. My question was about how can we add it?
Just write it in when it's printed?
...write it?
Or add it to the other features and traits section maybe
Are you printing the PDF out to paper? You can write it in.
...no?
Hmmm. Then add it to the features and traits section or other sections where it makes sense.
Let me look-
There's no right or wrong answer here - it's a matter of "put the info somewhere on the sheet where you can find it"
Like if you wipe your history?
For the K-ID someone would have to clear it from the backend either on DDB side or possibly on the K-ID side. Once entered it's tied to your account, not your browser/device cache.
Uh huh…strange that it’s necessary for this game of all things….
Blame the laws of a few countries that require it.
Is there a way to get them to remove it, or is it a case of “once it’s out, they don’t have to do anything”?
You can request DDB or K-ID to remove your birthday from their server/info, but it affects your DDB account if it's not there. You can request WotC to use a different method of verification, but whatever method they go with is likely to be rolled out to all users regardless of location.
They are adhering to laws of countries they service. It's the future of the internet
Hi folks issue with trying to add sylvan as a language to a home brew species, continuing on from issues yesterday
Update; tried formatting different, want the end goal to be they get common, they get the to choose a standard language and then they get a standard language/ celestial/ sylvan
Nothing shows up in dnd beyond
This is the modifier I added to the option seen above
While today it’s ages to protect kids, what I worry about is what the infrastructure will be used for once it’s established….
We have to comply with laws - and if you want to change those laws that’s a whole different topic but not one for our server.
Quick question! 🙋 what is the most efficient and effective way to purchase content that has been shared with me??? Every option that I have tried on the DND beyond app just opens the shared content, but does not give me the option to purchase it for myself And it is only usable in that specific campaign.
Through the website in an actual browser, most likely.
Update; still nothing.
I changed settings a bit but it’s still not working unfortunately
I want them to be able to get:
common
second standard language
Third standard language OR celestial OR sylvan but I’m finding it impossible to format
Go to the D&DBeyond Marketplace (https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/), use the search to search for the specific book, click/select the product card to open up the specific product view, then if you only want the D&DBeyond digital book, select the digital option and then add to cart.
If an Option is Granted, the player gets it automatically. (Effectively the same issue you had before.)
Currently nothing is being added
If you check the Languages section on the sheet itself, they’ll likely have Celestial and Sylvan already.
You need to remove Is Granted from those Options.
Thank you, my friend! As always, I appreciate the information and the assistance 😀
All right… 🤨 I completed my purchase on the D&D beyond mobile marketplace proceeded through checkout and after confirming the transaction received an error saying the transaction didn’t go through, but then checking my bank statement. The funds were withdrawn 🤨 what did I do incorrectly? The items are still in my cart on the website 🤷
And not in my library on DND beyond 🤔 🤨
Is the bank transaction still pending?
I’d assume it’ll disappear in a day or two once the bank releases the funds.
Hello, is there a way to sort out withing the marketplace the products already owned?
I find myself having to
- either check each book one by one in the market place
-or go through the library to then open the marketplace for each book (rand repeat again).
I couldn't find a filter in the marketplace "digital products I don't own". I'd imagine it is possible since the marketplace knows which books I own?
It works! Thank you so much it was driving me insane
I tried with a ticket in dnd beyond, but it has been closed automatically twice now with no communication or result
In the (non legacy) warlock's level 4 class feature "Ability Score Improvement", if you try to select "Ability Score Improvement" option to actually get the ASI feat, the entire character sheet will crash and show an Error 500. It doesn't work on the mobile app either, if you try it there, it will simply just not work.
I have tried it on different devices and it never works
Works fine for me. Does this happen with multiple characters or just one? Do you get the same problem in another browser or on another device?
I’m afraid that’s not an option at this time.
Is the only way to get "Keep on the Borderlands Digital Dice Set" by buying the Ultimate Bundle? Is there another way to get the dice?
I only bought it digitally from DDB and have the dice set, unless that was a fluke
I’ve only tried it on one character, but it consistently fails on every platform I put it to the test, including on the mobile ios D&D beyond app
I don’t have enough character slots to try it kn another character
Hey I have a question. I made a purchase on the mobile app and the paymant has been made but the book wasn't activated.
Personally, I would verify in your Entitlements if the book is listed.
Does the purchase show in the purchase record of your bank or payment method?
Have you tried another device or browser?
Is it a specific option that is missing in the character browser / can you view the book's contents but not see it there?
Generally though, barring something like the above which might be something else, you will usually end up talking to Beyond Customer Support for a failure in the purchase itself.
it is in my bank as a paymant, I have a mail confirming that I have made the purchase.
I cannot view the book and it redirect me to the marketplace.
Someone might suggest something else in the meantime, but you can put in a ticket. They probably won't be working until Monday so you may have to be patient as they are based in the US where Friday is a Holiday. Try to make only one request because repeated requests can push you to the back of the line.

Are there 5.5 pregen characters in DDB?
What is pregen
The Heroes of the Borderlands: Premade Characters should be 5.5e
But you have to pay for those, right?
I’m asking for those that are free to use like what we had for 5.0
the 50th anniversary and the special sorcerer are also 2024
Those are free, right?
I don't know you can check yourself
?tag claim
No tag claim found.
?tag ddb claim
The following items on D&D Beyond can be claimed at no cost.
How does one check that? I have a paid subscription
Oh see it now. Thanks!
Go to create character and press premade
Thank you!
Yeah that doesn’t tell you if it’s free or not, just that you have access to it.
For example I have access to heroes of the borderlands and stranger things but that’s because I paid for those. It doesn’t say anywhere if it’s paid content or not.
I don't know of a way (outside of look on a different account that dousn't own those books) to check if they are free
I am having an issue with a Homebrew Magic Item I am creating on DnD Beyond. I am using a Warhammer +3 as the base item that I am copying from. I have Warhammer as the Base Item type selected and Warhammer as the Base Weapon. I then build out the item. When I save the item the base Weapon field no longer shows as Required, but the Magic Item Type now shows as required. The problem is that the base item type is still shown as a weapon and so I actually cannot select into the Magic item type drop down. I have not shared it with the community as I wanted to include some basic spells which can be cast using weapon charges and the website states the item cannot be shared with the community because of that. Any thoughts as to why it won’t let me keep it as a weapon?
Do I need to submit a ticket for something like this?
Hi, my GM suggested I report an issue I'm having with an equipped, attuned item here.
The item is the Dragonhide Belt +2 (rare), which is supposed to increase the save DC of my ki abilities (like stunning strike, etc). I just realized (after having it for a while 🙃) that my DC has not changed. It is 14 instead of 16. Thanks in advance.
I believe this is a know issue with the Dragonhide belts.
Anyone have any idea what's going on with Mark of sentinel?
They're aware of the 3 glitched Dragonmark feats. & the usual "no set due date to avoid disappointment" line is in place.
Thanks!
There's a Custom Dragonmarked Background that has the "broken" versions as a temporary fix in the meantime.
Has there been an update on whether or when Mark of Healing will be fixed?
They know.
But, as I said a few posts ahead, they prefer not to lock down dates to avoid the disappointment from critics of missing such.
Anyone know why DDB thinks I have forge of the artificer for 1 dragonmark but not the other? (I actually ahve it both!)
Reset Cache, still missing mark of healing and sentinel,
did you buy the digital copy or the ultimate bundle? if it's the former, the dice set came with it?
i think they said two of the dragon marks are currently not useable do to some tech issue
anyone know what this thing does on a wizard subclass
Digital only through DDB. I had been gifted the physical box previously but wanted digital copies of the adventures. I have the dice set, but I vaguely remember being surprised that the dice came with the purchase.
It makes that spell always prepared.
I.E. the character doesn’t have to prepare it themselves. They can always cast it.
(It’s not something that would typically be used for a wizard.)
So setting it to No kinda does absolutely nothing then
Doesn't increase the "spells prepared" count or anything
An always prepared spell never counts against your prepared number but it should increase your total prepares when it comes to time to cast.
So, for example, a Wizard with 5 spells to prepare can choose 5 they want and DDB will list 5, but Cantrips and Always prepared spells won't increase the 5 but will still be available to cast as they are also prepared.
If you will, always prepared should do something in that it should prepare the specific spell(s) but no it should not increase the number displayed as prepared, as that number is only the ones you can choose.
So the Psychic Blades attack listing for a SoulKnife Rogue is still broken in D&D Beyond, right? It doesn't handle the Finesse weapon trait right. And it doesn't seem to list that the attack benefits from VEX weapon mastery. Is there a decent home brew substitute that someone has made that acts like a proper Psychic Blade? And it has the same issues for the Bonus Action attack option.
I’m trying to bring an old 5e character into the new 5.5e on D&D Beyond, but I’m having some difficulty. The 5e version had the Mobile feat and I tried recreating the feat using the Homebrew creator on the site, but it won’t let me add the modifier to adjust the movement speed. Any suggestions?
Speedy is 5.5e's mobile
Hello, I have a question I hope someone can help with. I'm trying to build a lvl 5 sorcerer and I wanna pick the twinned metamagic ability but it doesn't show up at all. Is it called something else now? Was it removed for 5.5e?
I see twinned spell on the metamagic list for 5.5e, it should be at the bottom of the list.
Is there a reason we can no longer alter base magic items? The website is not allowing me to create a new magic item without a base stat, is adding all the base weapons quote and weapon mastery stuff.
For the new Villainous options, is there a way to download the new subclasses somehow? Or do I just have to write the entire PDF into a new homebrew subclass?
You will need to either homebrew it yourself on D&DBeyond (note that you may not publish it as it is still copyrighted content) or write it in on a PDF/printed character sheet.
OK, DND Beyond's character sheets are just randomly freezing on me, requiring a refresh of the page. This happens primarily in Background & Notes sections on such
Third-party stuff isn't on, everything is up to date, I own everything I use, & I just flushed cookies & site data as well as re-signed in yesterday.
Either I need to restart my PC again, or there's something about the site that's eating at my computer's ability to process it.
Good news:It was a temporary issue
Question, is this the area to ask about the beyond mechanics? Trying to name a beast companion and cant figure out how on the android mobile version.
If you homebrew a statblock for it, you could name the homebrewed statblock. I do not think there is a way directly in the character but someone could correct me if I'm wrong. You would need to access the website though to homebrew which you can also do on your Android device.
You can rename them on the website, but not yet in the app.
why dous dnd beyond lagg my computer?
Can you reproduce exactly what causes it and list those actions here?
It recently had issues with consuming all available RAM through your web browser which caused it, but it’s believed those were all fixed.
having dnd beyond open for some time makes it lagg
Is it just leaving it open? What page showcases this behavior? How long is it open?
10 minets or so it fixes itself (for 10 minets) if I refrech it
What page, specifically?
Character sheet
Any means to make Bold text in the Snippet section of making homebrew?
<b></b> tags should work fine.
will try
Thank You that worked!
I am very challenged in creating unique species of for my campaign world ... might as well make them look nice when used by my players. Sadly I figure no one would like the species I created ... reasons being already a species that is close to it, or too OP, et cetera. (I am a very old and long time gamer, altered text to use species instead of the R*** word).
I’ve noticed that in the app when I’m in Dark Mode, when I click on links, it’ll take me to a page but the text is in black, making it impossible to read. Is an update going to be pushed to fix this? If not, how can this get corrected?
Cannot answer the when, but Android or iOS?
-# thus far, I cannot replicate this on my Android app.
iOS
Sometimes there's a caching issue with the mobile app, the most likely fix can be tedious, but uninstalling and reinstalling has helped others in the past.
The devs are still working on it.
Can one create new weapons? That current weapons selection not viable? I like to recreate the Orcish Shotput from earlier edditions.
Mods, can I post a link for a custom background in this channel that lets people use the affected dragonmark feats (Healing, Sentinel, Warding) to provide a temporary fix in the meantime?
I’d rather see another solution for this. I had to do this 6 months ago and lost all of my bookmarks. Having to do this every 6 months without a way to save your bookmarks is problematic
@vernal fractal sorry for the early morning ping, but after you start you work day can you see if someone from the Mobile App team knows of a fix for this for iOS? Seems to be a caching issue, looking for a better fix than uninstalling and reinstalling.
I forget offhand if you can but it should be noted that the damage die assigned to weapons is limited to existing weapons and cannot be changed. As a result, to homebrew a weapon, you would need to pick an existing weapon to base it off of where you are happy with the damage die that the weapon gives.
And that's unfortunate that you can't change the damage die because it breaks my convenience hacks for wild shape at higher CRs (using a weapon and renaming it to match the wild shape attack so there's something rollable) since there's not any weapons that deal similar damage to higher CR beasts. Really hope entirely custom homebrew weapons are on the short list for the rebuild
Custom actions would work for that but you would have to make them for each character
Yea, that's definitely an option, though when I've tried them I can't seem to get the modifiers right, they're still very rigid for being custom options. Granted I suppose I could just leave the modifier off and manually add that
hi, is there a way on ddb in homebrew to change the weapon main damage, for example for a dagger, make the 1d4 becomes 2d4 ?
or can only change the damage type
There is not a way to change the damage dice that a weapon uses.
You could try using custom actions to get the effect you are going for
Inquiry, could for example one create a cantrip called Kercpa Weapons... 😆... and have it list 1d4 damage with range 160 feet (Tiny Shortbow), or Melee 1d4 damage (Tiny Longsword) as a work around for Kercpa Weapons.
Still Feel that WotC needs to add a few of the Odd Weapons that not have a suitable another weapon to rename. Example Orcish Shotput? How best to give feedback.
The best way to give feedback is to post it to #ddb-feedback . As for your question, using a cantrip is plausible, but it’s still not perfect, and at that point you’re better served just using custom actions.
Is there a way to customise the total value of point buy above 27?
When making a magic item, is it possible to make one that grants additional attunment slots? I wanna check before I waste time trying.
I think there's Partnered Content that tried that(Tal'Dorei Reborn) & I don't remember if it works or not
Yes, this is possible. The Modifier is "Set - Attunement Slots" and the maximum that works is 6.
Good to know, thanks.
Another question. is it possible to assign a race -2 to strength to represent they are tiny?
Sure. In the Species you can set an ability score modifier to Strength.
Can characters with buy points raise it up ?
They'd need to set it to Manual/Rolled, then calculate the results on their own and just type it in.
Ah damn.. ok. Thanks
hi anyone else having problems loading DDB marketplace? Im in the UK encase its a reginal thing
never mind it was a Browser update problem
While yes you can do this, keep in mind that tiny creatures already have half the carrying capacity of small or medium. That sounds like a lot, but equipment does not vary in weight based on size so the ~79 carrying capacity that sounds like a lot will go fast. Lowering that average by 15 to around 64 takes a decent sized chunk out of that number. The Dungeoneer pack alone used to weigh around 60 lbs.
If you will, you can lower their strength by 2 but be careful using "Tiny" as the justification.
Is there a reason why I can't see my DMs shared content, but the rest of my party can?
Do you have a character in the campaign where it is being shared?
Is it possible they are getting the sharing through a different campaign but the one you are in does not have sharing turned on?
If you are looking for something in the character creator , have you tried ticking everything in Sources and Partnered Content in the Home tab and see if the content appears?
I have
That is odd then. Generally, there is only a few things that usually cause these problems...
?tag ddb missing
Missing Content?
If you can’t access a book or find an available character option, here’s some important things to check:
- Are your Account Entitlements in sync? If not, you’ll see a button to let you manually trigger a sync.
- Did you purchase the book yourself, or is it shared with you through one of your campaigns?
- If you purchased it, is it listed under Current Product Licenses?
- If it’s shared with you, is this character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?
- Do you have the right checkboxes enabled in your character settings? The checkboxes at the top under “Sources” and “Partnered Content” control which options are available for your character. If in doubt, check them all.
- Are you using the right class? There are two versions of each core class: the 2024 one under "Core Rules" and the 2014 one under "2014 Core Rules". Options available for one might not be available for the other. For example, some options for
Cleric (the 2024 class) might not be available for
Cleric (the 2014 class) and vice versa.
I am thinking then your problem may be #4. Try switching which edition class your character is using.
I'll try that
Is there a way to add the Villianous options on dnd beyond or do i have to make it in Homebrew myself?
You'll have to homebrew it yourself.
I think the boon of revelry is broken
Can you be more specific?
why is the DC 14?
the DC of the other spells hasn't been increased by items or anything of the sort
The text of the feat doesn’t seem to specify which ability to use, so it likely wasn’t set up to use any of them.
I’d presume it’s supposed to be the ability you chose to increase, though.
I’ll flag it with the devs. Thanks!
Unarmored bonuses are still applying when armor is equipped on sheet. Why?
Can you give some more details like class and charatcer level? Or maybe a screenshot of whats not working like expectied or a public link to the character?
Is there any books or resources for 5.0/5.5 that give detailed information about the planes? (im looking for information about the beastwilds)
There is Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse
I looked at the table of contents and do not see hte beastwilds listed anywhere on it
I didnt want to buy a book that did not have information in it i needed
If youre able to view this sheet: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/164024111
AC is 30, unarmored def bonuses out the arse from items and the class/subclass.
However, typically when you equip armor (like the breastplate in the inventory) the sheet automatically removes all "Unarmored" bonuses and switches to calculating AC based on the armor type + armor bonuses (+ DEX depending on armor type). Currently it is no longer doing this.
The only things that mentions it is the Chapter about Faunel but it doesnt mention anything more then that. So idk if there is a book that goes into more detail
Just realized you cant equip/unequip items as youre not the owner or DM. lol
Yeah i cant do that. When you put the armor on what does you ac become?
And something ive noticed it looks like your Master Cloak of Constitution (RS) isnt programed to give the plus 8 to Con like it says or at the very least the plus 8 isnt added to the con score manually
I dont think your magic items can tell if you are wearing armor or not so the plus 6 you get from those will always apply even if the description says they dont
You want the 5.5e DMG chapter 6: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2024/cosmology
The only modifier that respects the unarmored functionality is "Set - Unarmored Armor Class." Flat bonuses to AC do not respect it and are always applied. My recommendation here based on your homebrew is to set up a dummy magic item that just sets your AC to the correct number and manually toggle it on/off when unarmored/otherwise.
I dug out the old 3.0 manual of the planes which has a whole lot on it, this helps too!
Anyone know if there is any word on fixing the issue of missing content?
What content are you missing?
Hey, so for 2024 rules I'm trying to add spells to my spellbook but I don't have an option to do so from my character sheet.
Go to Add Spells to populate your spellbook.
Then go to Spellbook to choose which spells to prepare.
So when I put on medium armor on, it is adding DEX beyond +2, and all the unarmored bonuses stay there. Same with heavy armor. It says Armor (None). So DnDB isnt acknowledging armor is on? The armor used is standard WotC items, +9 unarmored is from the class and mods etc, +4 and +2 is from homebrew items that did adjust properly with armor on vs off before.
Even without any homebrew items, its not acknowledging armor is equipped. It does this on other characters of mine as well.
Feats from Eberron: forge of the artificer is what I've noticed currently. Missing mark of healing and some others.
Dev's are looking into that one, but we won't hear anything else until they fix it
Yeah it's been reported. No idea where it is in the pipeline and they don't give eta's.
I just tested this and it works fine with a normal Monk and the Bracers of Defense, so something about your homebrew is wrong.
Has nothing to do with the homebrew. Just stop.
It seems the issue is that if your DEX bonus and/or Unarmored bonus is higher than the bonus of the armor you equip, it just ignores the armor is even equipped and wont override/remove or limit DEX bonus and it also wont remove unarmored bonus, but it does acknowledge Stealth disadvantage etc... So the sheet isnt removing bonuses based on if armor is equipped or not, as long as the bonuses are higher than the armor provides, even though im pretty sure once the armor is equipped its suppose to override any ability that says "While not wearing armor, your base AC equals 1x + any Shield bonus." And remove the bonuses from items that also say this (which it has for me in the past, with homebrew and normal items)
TLDR:
DnDBeyond sheet seems to be picking the highest AC calculation, regardless of conditions.
I can reproduce this, it is indeed calculating based off of highest AC and ignoring unarmored rules.
Thank you.
Hello so I'm trying to homebrew a species that can transform into different forms and I want each of the forms to have like, different bonuses and feats. But I wanna do it in a way that's similar to Rage where I can choose to "Activate Rage" and the sheet is automatically updated with the defences and +2 damage... So it's something like Form 1/option 1 gets +1 to strength and a different set of attack, form 2 gets +1 dex, and different attacks etc etc. would that be possible?
Yeah. Rage basically just adds two versions of the feature.
The first one just has the text description, and is shown only in the builder.
The second is shown only on the sheet.
That one has an Option that can be selected to activate the feature.
Anything that depends on the feature being active gets added inside that Option.
I think their question is whether or not they can replicate a similar thing as a species trait
Unfortunately I'm not an expert on that, yet. Spam or Undying Noob will have to pop in as they're the most knowledgeable that I've seen.
Yeah, same thing works for a species.
How do I do that?
The same way Rage does it, as described above.
Happy to elaborate on any part of that if you let me know where you’re stuck.
Refresh my memory on something: if I'm making an elf subspecies for 5.5 which homebrew option do I choose and will it show up in the drop-down with the official choices?
I see... I actually have no idea how Rage does it so I'm pretty stumped on that... I mean I at least know how it functions but I don't know how to do that on like my homebrew.
hi, told to come here, is there a way to upload home made stickers?
Not yet.
Cool
its on the road map to do list
I’d make a homebrew copy of Elf. You’d need to update the Options in the Elven Legacy and Elven Legacy Spells features.
Your homebrew species will include the official Options so long as you don’t delete them, but the official species will not include your homebrew Options.
Rage does it like this: #ddb-support message
Again, I’m happy to explain in more detail, though, if you can tell me where you’re stuck. What have you added so far?
It is indeed on the roadmap:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/en/roadmap
D&D Beyond helps you play Dungeons & Dragons your way—at your table, online, and everywhere between. This roadmap shows what we’re building next and why it matters.
Hi! Sorry, been busy at work. But yeah I actually haven't added anything yet since I was trying to figure out how to make something like that first...
I have made a "base" test species at least.
But then I don't know where to start from there.
Hi gang. I'm guessing you've heard this question before: one of my players is sharing the Ravnica book to our campaign, but we can't access it. I don't see it in the Shared Content section of the campaign. Any ideas?
I can see the book in my library, shared from the player.
OH NEVERMIND I KNOW HOW IT WORKS NOW.
THANK YOU!
Is there still a Digital and Hardcopy bundle available for the Tal'dorei Reborn campaign setting?
Working on a homebrew magic item. I want this ring to grant an additional level 2 spell slot. I'm not seeing anything in the modifiers that would support that, plus I'm not seeing an official or 3rd party item that does this. I'm assuming that it's not currently supported, but thought I would check to see if anyone had any ideas that I might have missed.
You are correct that this functionality does not exist. The farther you stray from what official material does, the less likely it'll work in Beyond. If not even 3rd Party creators are doing it, than the odds are pretty much 0.
Are your entitlements in sync?
Did you turn on the 5e expanded rules?
I'm not sure how to sync entitlements. I do have expanded rules on.
?tag ddb entitlements
Account Entitlements
Account entitlements are how D&D Beyond identifies which content you can access. These are synced automatically in time, but if you're not seeing content you should have access to, visit Account > Licenses.
The Account Entitlements section at the top should ideally say "Your entitlements data is in sync!" If not, it will show a button to manually trigger the sync, after which your content should be available.
Yes, it says my entitlement data is in sync.
What are you looking for exactly? Knowing that may help just a tad bit.
Or can you not find anything in the character builder from that book?
A player wants to be a Vedalken race
It doesn't show up in the character builder
I also cannot access monsters from the book in the VTT Tokens menu
you need to own Acquisitions Incorporated
Oh, its not from Ravnica?
If its shared with you, you need to be in the campaign its being shared from to use it
They are saying it should be shared with them.
But even I cant find it in the character builder.
I wonder if this is another one of those things like the reborn was.
I am the DM of the campaign that the player has shared the content to
I'm feeling like it might be a bug or something. I submitted a help request to the support team a bit ago.
Check that I wasnt able to find it by typing the name but I could see it if I filtered the results to ravnica
Oh wow i'll try that
Also make sure the character isn't deactivated in the campaign as shared options aren't available to deactivated characters
Are you sure that book is shared in that campaign?
I don't see it in the 'Content Management' section - but I do see it in my library.
Could it that hes sharing it to me via another campaign (we are in multiple together) but its not shared in the new campaign?
If you dont see it in that section the that isn't that campaign where its shared.
Its possible
You nailed it, thats exactly it
I can see it in my library because its shared from another campaign - the one HE is dming
but he didn't share it to the campaign where I'm DM
THANK YOU!!!!!
Bump
The D&DBeyond marketplace only offers it in digital form (likely due to license restrictions, e.g. Darrington Press publishes and distributes the physical books). I believe the digital + physical bundles are only for official D&D books, not for 3rd party.
Question, do different supplements add different feature, and if so is there planned to be an all dm features for the vtt when 2.0 unleashes?
Badly worded, 1 sec
Do books like sadlebags 1 and 2 give extra options for the vtt, I noticed that it said loot tables added with it
Different books provide different features. If the DM owns those books they would be usable in their campaigns or if the D&DBeyond campaign has content sharing enabled, those features would be usable in that campaign.
So the DM could refer to thsoe books and use them
But they dont offer tools directly within the vtt yet correct?
Not currently and I'm not 100% sure if that's on the roadmap. Yet.
Fair, as a bit of feed back, it would be neat to be able to purchase the full toolset at current whenever they could offer it, including tools made for books you dont have, but without the content
Offers incentive to buy the content
Or homebrew
That may be impossible due to copyright... (offering tools without owning the content). But I know the team is looking into "how do we make this better and easier".
It would be licensed through wizards on their platform, they still own the copyright on all of it, not hard legally
The first one does include a few maps. Not sure about the second, off the top of my head.
Both those books are largely focused on character options, though.
Not sure what you mean there…
Masterwork from 3.0/3.5. The added difficulty to break and like +1 to use. I saw one of the new books offered items called tools of the master in several fields, figured it was similar and was excited for it
Looks like those are from Exploring Eberron. They give a bonus to spell attacks and tool checks based on the item’s rarity.
Backing up a second… when you said “vtt”, were you referring to D&D Beyond’s Maps VTT, or to D&D Beyond as a whole?
maps vtt was hoping eventually we'd get a desktop standalone like some of the others that evolves over time
It os doing that, just hoping it keeps ongoingly
We are pretty committed to being web based. That allows us to make frequent changes and updates, and eliminates entire categories of problems and work we'd have to do, which frees up our team to focus on new features
How do you set your Beyond sheet to do Agonizing Blast on a Warlock spell other than Eldritch Blast?
Not until the upcoming rework. Agonizing Blast is a victim of legacy coding that's going to be cleaned up.
If you want a definitive date, you won't get one
Lovely... will that same rework also fix the Barbarian Rage Damage?
Asked about it [here](#ddb-avrae-help message)
That's more of an Avrae issue. I don't think the rebuild has anything to do with that.
Which would be why I asked in the avrae help channel.
In the meantime, I’d just leave the invocation unselected and manually add the bonus to the preferred spell.
Last question, is there any hope of a rework of stronghold builders guide slammed into an arms and equipment manual remake?
Like a city building guid
Hiya. Just wondering if someone can advise me. Ive been given a discord channel link for d and d beyond. Ive linked my character but is it supposed to give me access to a chat?
So, the Discord chat is here. There is also a D&D Beyond forum. Creating your character is an independent task that you do for you and your gaming and has no specific chat associated.
If you are asking because you wish to discuss your character, you could do it here in #character-discussion
Hard to say without more context. Who gave you the link? What did they say it would do?
My campaign got content sharing enabled midway through
so im changing my stuff to official, but whats the difference between these 3
Twilight Domain is the original 2014 version, the one that just says (2024) after it is the DDB 5.5 update, not sure where the (PA) one would have come from

Hi guys sorry for sounding totally green here but im having the darnedest time trying to make a homebrew species on my app or the website on my phone but I cannot get to what I need to get to or I simply cannot find it to make my species could I get a little help please
Since you are on mobile the first advice I can give is to make sure you are in Landscap and not Portrait. As some buttons can get hidden on mobile
Need more details on what you're looking for and not finding before we can help with the rest.
Lol that might be my issue I will check that and get back to you
Nope didnt work
I am trying to get to collections on the site to create my race but it is not showing up for me. I mean I can find my creations and my collections but I do notnhave anything in them or am I being a low int barbarian here and not figuring something out here lol
Are you on the app or webpage?
Homebrew collections cant be viewed on the app iirc
And when you go to this webpage you dont see anything? https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection
Or is it more of you cant select things to use as a base for homebrew?
Homebrew is not designed for the mobile experience, and I'd highly recommend just waiting until you are at a computer to navigate it.
I can get to my collection but I guess I cannot use a base the collections are blank
Finally got it
To use something as a base, you either have to be the one to make it.Or you have to own it on ddb
Thanks for the help you could give everyone
Trying to figure out how to link my discord with my dnd beyond... any advice?

It's been reported. There are some others missing such as Mark of Healing. No timeline yet. We don't even know if it will get looked at before the new roadmap is followed through on.
A half-fix was pushed through yesterday.
Only Healing was fixed, but the other 2 aren't, & now Greater Mark of Healing is buggy
Yes, the original reported problem was fixed and revealed a new hopefully less complicated problem.
Hey! Would anyone know why I'm having an issue buying something off of the DDB marketplace?
I'm trying to digitally buy Eberron: Forge of the Artificer, but I know that book is already shared to me as content in a game that I'm a player in, but I want to buy it to own it; So a different group of players I DM for, have access to the content.
When I go to buy the book, as soon as I enter in my card info, then press "Next: Order Review" It quick deletes all of my card info, then says there's an error in processing payment.
Anyone know where I should go for this?
You could try a different browser or disable plugins / blockers temporarily. Sometimes they mess with the code on pages and cause weird behaviour like this.
Might not be the same issue, but there was a bug a while ago where it wouldn't accept saved addresses, you had to re-enter the address each time (even for digital products). Seems to have been mostly Canadian addresses, but might be other countries too, and would show as incorrect payment details even though the address was the problem.
I tried all of that and it didn't
I'm US, but I tried manually reentering everything in, even used a different non-saved address for it too, it was only in the spot where I entered my card info
Ah, sorry I can't help then. Hopefully someone here will have an idea, but if not you'll probably have to contact support via the Help Portal (under Community on the websites main toolbar). Be prepared for a long wait though 😬
Dang... well thank you!!!!
SO.. trying to make some edits to a Spelljammer Ship my party got, as we paid for upgrades... IS there a way to homebrew a Vehicle? Or a way to setup a Monsters statblock to show HP and what not for the weapons, like how the Vehicles have setup for theirs?
Hello! Im looking for the Skeleton Rifler yet I cant find where its from? any help
Looks like you’re in Maps, yes? Try doing a search in DDB site instead
Yep I did that nothing came up
Lairs of Etharis
You can’t homebrew a vehicle, but you can homebrew a monster and simply edit everything to match.
Did they remove the dnd official fan site kit? I can't find it
at least here its still buggy, with it showing up but not adding the spells to the spell list, but its some progress i guess
Around the time they migrated to DDB being the official site. Not sure if it's been intentionally left out or something they just haven't gotten around to adding though.
Using 5.5, if you enable a level of Exhaustion, it doesn’t change or affect your dice rolls, right? You still have to do that manually?
Correct
One of my players, all of a sudden, cannot sign in on any of her devices, tablet, computer, or phone. She gets her email recovery, but it does not recognize her for some reason and that does not work either.
They may be accidentally trying to sign in using the wrong email address. If they're absolutely certain it's the correct or can't when trying other methods then they'll need to contact customer support for assistance.

How do I add a free use of the spell like in this paragraph
Put a 1 in “Number of Uses”.
Hello all, I am trying to give a extra homebrew spell to my warlock player, I mange to make it via granting an extra feat to the charater, however, it was not able to upcast using higher level spell slot, anyone know how can I fix it? Thanks for helping!
You’ll need to make a homebrew copy of the subclass and add it there if you want it to use spell slots.
I see, thank you.
How can I make a spell upcast will increase both dice roll and fix damage? I am trying to make a spell that is 1d4 + 5 on first level, and when it upcast, each level will add 1d4 + 5, I tried to use the at higher level feature but the fixed value won't upscale.
That can’t be automatically done i believe because no normal spell works that way so it’s not designed for it, though you could just change the text to match the upscaling you want.
Thank you
How do I force the mobile app to sync my sheet correctly? I'm making a character right now, and I changed my mind from one class to a different one so I had to move the stats around or whatever but like, when I go to view my sheet it still has the stats in the previous position. I try to refresh for 5 minutes straight, and it still doesn't switch to the right stats. How long does syncing take?
Your character sheets should sync automatically, so that's weird. Try force closing the app and restarting it?
I did that and it still didn't sync so I think it's a server issue
Might be an outage, but I just created a new character and did some edits in both places and it synced for me just fine. This may be obvious, but make sure that your app/device is connected to the internet? I'm not sure what it could be that's affecting only you (maybe regional?).
You can pull down on the character sheet to refresh as well.
RE: Parasitic Weapon: posting in a more appropriate channel so it doesn't get lost. @ spamandtuna (intentional no ping)
I have been having this problem as well lately. When repeated refreshes don't work, I have found editing the character name seems to work. For example, I add a space at the end. Then save, next, next, next, all the way, click display character sheet or whatever, and then refresh. Should fix it. You can always repeat the process to delete the space.
Subclass feature help. I need 5 cantrip spells to all show up at once in a feature
By “show up”, you mean the character can cast all five at any time?
If so, each one needs to be added as its own Spell entry in the subclass.
If you have just one entry that lists all five, it will prompt the player to choose between them.
ok so a different feature every time?
You can do it in the same class feature.
Just make sure the Spells section in that feature has them all listed separately.
and i aslo want them to appear in the spell list as i already homebrewed the spells
Can I ask questions here regarding the beyond store too?
Sure, we'll try to help.
I'm looking to get the Ravenloft pre-order. Which is partly digital, partly pphysical. I live in the Netherlands. The product states "Products shipping outside the US, checkout on our partner site →" But it links to the homepage
Is that coming or is this still a DDB exclusive thing
We're aware and looking into getting them up on the international store! Thanks for flagging this! 🙂
any ideas?
Yeah... I had a "take my money" moment this morning just to find out, you don't want it haha International ordering would be great
I answered earlier. It's in Lairs of Etharis (https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/SRC-00130).
ah didnt see thank you so much!
Hi! how do u add smth like this on DDB homebrew lol.
Advantage > Saving Throws
Then in details you just type in the text you want it to say there.
Let me recommend copying War Caster to see how it works.
Okok gotcha! Same thing for Disadvantage I presume? Smth like Disadvantage on STR checks made to do smth?
Sure, yes. That will make the red D show up next to things like Athletics, then the details will show on clicking for more details.
Is there another way?
You could do…
Disadvantage > Athletics
Same idea, but more specific.
btw those things Dusk is suggesting are under Modifiers
Wizards took my money, yet it says I already own Dr. Dhrolin's
Did you get receipt? I didn’t check but same for me
I hope I didn’t get charged lol
Is that actually available? I don't see it.
AHH
how can i help
It said I already own DDDD when i ordered it, & charged me twice
I'm wondering if it's not fully rolled out yet, as I still can't see it.
that's very likely! i haven't even gotten the 'book's out' alert from the team; y'all are just so fast with it
This works thank u. Although I think I broke it LMAO. I accidentally set the thing to Ability checks and now everything has a disadvantage. Even after editing and refreshing multiple times.
I actually stumbled on it by accident then figure hey why not
How do I stop the duplicate charge w/o getting my account banned?
first, i would like you to take a breath; everything will be okay
next, submit a support ticket. I think this came up in #ddb-feedback yesterday (or maybe I was reading something that happened in the past), but I think there are authorizations for the amount spent, and then the actual money is taken, which can look like double charges. we saw a lot of this around the new core rulebook releases
when everything resolves, only one charge should be there
I filed a ticket. Hopefully I don't get double-billed(PayPal)
& now it's still in my cart? The heck?
I also submitted. I’m hoping it just didn’t charge and errored out
Once I get confirmation I’ll do another try but holding off until then
This is because there is a 15 minute cache timeout for homebrew to avoid the website being DDOS'd by it. You'll need to give it some time to refresh.
Soooo, update: when y'all purchased, the book was still indeed rolling out, so we're curious how you saw it was available to purchase 
Was in library under all. Looking for something else I saw it and said go to store so that’s how I found it.
It shows up in the library before the marketplace, to a degree. With an icon for buying it.
yup yup, i'm getting the scoop from the release team about it. when y'all see it there, the book is still rolling out and we're doing testing to make sure everything works and looks good.
so y'all end up buying it during the optimal time for things to go wrong 
I did not, because I'm broke.
oh, I just meant in general!
but yeah, those of y'all who had issues with it this morning, it's because of that. Go ahead and submit a support ticket and they'll get it straightened out.
this is why we wait until later in the day to do marketing; it would be REALLY bad if we said HEY IT'S OUT during the rollout and then everything breaks and everyone is sad
Since you're here, and I'm sure I know the answer but wanted to confirm, will we eventually get some details about the Ravenloft preorder bonuses (Play Along and mini adventure) before the release? It helps customers decide on overall value when we have more than a title.
yes! more info about those things is coming very soon
and just generally speaking, I don't mind being pinged if y'all have questions. 🙂 just might take me some time to respond if i'm in the middle of something else
I try not to unless it's an emergency. Your profile suggests we're in the same time zone so I hope you at least had time for the caffeine to kick in.
So it'ls live now, but it still isn't letting me access the content of the book...
Is this due to the duplicate payment situation, or something else(Entitlements are in synch)
Have you opened a support ticket and gotten a response?
It sounds like you bought early and got yourself into a bad state.
Haven't got a response yet
I'd wait for that, tbh.
I’d assume the pending transactions you see are payment authorizations. Without a finalized purchase, banks typically clear those in 2-3 days. (You might be able to call them to get it cleared faster.)
If the book’s still in your cart (and more importantly, not in your order history or Current Product Licenses), then you won’t be able to access the book.
How do I call Paypal to reverse it w/o doing a chargeback, since that gets my account banned?
Can’t say I’ve ever used PayPal. I don’t know what their customer service process is like.
Also:Removed it from my cart:Still redirected to the Marketplace after trying to read the book itself
Again, if it’s not in Current Product Licenses, you won’t be able to access the book.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses
It doesn't show up in my product liscences, yet my accounts are synched
I assume it’s also not in your Order History.
https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/account/orders
Which would explain why it’s not in Current Product Licenses.
OK, it's not even there, despite the dual authorizations
That's weird
Paypal gonna charge me triple at this rate
But I'm not doing that yet
A payment authorization just means they checked to see if you had sufficient funds available. It doesn’t mean DDB actually took the funds.
Paypal support contact info can be found at https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/contact-us
I know everyone’s financial situation is different, but personally, I wouldn’t worry about it until/unless those transactions become finalized.
So it won't double(Or triple) charge me?
Shouldn't, but at this point only customer support for DDB or Paypal would be able to help further in that regard.
I’d expect another purchase would show as a third transaction, but that two of those would go away in a couple days, leaving only one.
But I’m speaking purely as an outside observer here.
This is what I get for jumping the gun with the release.
I PRAY you're right & the other 2 authorizations don't go through to payment when I do it again
Should I wait on the support ticket, or clickk Place Order?
If I was in your shoes, I’d wait until I knew someone else had successfully purchased the book before trying again.
Assuming that their success would mean my earlier issue and been resolved.
And again, assuming those extra transactions will go away on their own in a few days.
Has anyone revieved theirs?
I wouldn’t personally bother contacting anyone unless that third attempt failed or those earlier transactions became finalized.
Gotcha gotcha
But everyone’s financial situation is their own, so you’d have to make your own choice here.
I'd wait for the support ticket response or see if the transaction falls off like expected, which ever happens first
Again, I don’t have any first-hand information here.
Oh geez, w/the rate people file duplicates of known issues to try & force fixes of their pet glitch/bug/support issue, I'm gonna have to wait a week at least
It probably is faster just to wait and see if those disappear. 😅
The authorizations haven't dissappeared so far, and this worries me
Like I said, most banks will take 2-3 days to do it.
OK, NOW it says I own it on attempt #3.
I hope the first 2 go away
Good news:I've not been charged yet, so hopefully I only get charged for the 3rd one that was successful
How do you provide a player the choice of which Ability Score to use for Spellcasting when creating a Species in DDB?
You’d have to use Options.
Add one for each ability, and inside, add the spell set to use that ability.
Making a copy of the 5.5e elf can help show you what Spam means.
That particular example is a bit more complex because you need to choose both an elven lineage and a spellcasting ability.
Yeah, but my mind went blank as to if there were a better option that's freely available.
Hmm...Flamekin?
Not free, but...yeah.
The MotM Genasi would also work.
Through the support ticket I think you said you opened. Please remember that it can take time for them to respond, and opening extra can make it take longer as it puts you at the back of the proverbial line.
I now have 2 extra charges, and I'm scared. I hope the bank can understand...
Stay calm. Update your support ticket. That's the only way to fix it.
How do I update my support ticket?
You should've received an email when you submitted your support ticket. Follow the instructions there. It should say something like this:

It seems to me the only way to add homebrew Bonus Action which appears in the Character's Bonus Action section would be to create a Spell which describes what they can do, then add the Spell to an Item/Species/Subclass/Feat with Activation Type set to Bonus Action. Is that correct?
No? It can also be a part of a Species, Feat, or Subclass directly, or you can just make a "Custom Action" directly on your character sheet to represent it. That said, it's hard to answer this fully without more information. What is this Bonus Action meant to do?
I've tried that and Custom Actions only seem to populate in the Action section 🤷♂️
There is a field you have to change to Bonus Action.
Essentially add additional movement
Ah! Cool!
Also, I didn't go far enough in the Action section of the Homebrew Species builder 🤦♂️😅🤦♂️
Are those finalized, or still pending?
Like I said before, I’d expect it to take 2-3 days before those pending transactions clear.
All 3 are finalized
Support ticket is stuck in traffic
PoS Authorizations x 3
I just don't want a dispute to become a chargeback if I dispute 2 of them
Yeah, don’t do a chargeback.
Just give CS a little patience. They’ll get you taken care of.
OK, thank god.
Why is the Wooden Staff, the Druidic Focus, not equippable like the regular Staff, the Arcane Focus? Additionally, why does it not function as a Quarterstaff beyond that, like its arcane counterpart?
It seems odd that my wizard can just bonk someone on the head, but my druid can't, even though they both wield staves.
That seems like a bug. Most folks I know just use a quarterstaff for everything staff-related on a character sheet.
On the beyond app can you make in off switch to make the dice rioll high under soells for the cleric for level 20 and you can’t see the add iin less you are level 20 and works on at level 20 for one of the supreme healing
The higest number possible
I'm working on a homebrew Feat which allows for progressively better Reactions to attacks. I want it to follow the levels in a specific class, not the overall character level.
How would I go about doing this? Is there a spot in the Action details page I'm missing? I generally do this kind of work through the homebrew builder as it applies to multiple players in a campaign and I'd rather not go through each player's sheet to fix it.
Perhaps, but a Staff distinguishes itself specifically as a focus and is more expensive as a result.
Here's the one I made for one of my characters...https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/2519788-sindrasil-the-flame-staff
I don't think this is quite the channel for that, mate.
Just trying to show you that quarterstaves can be used as focuses
I'm not disagreeing. Functionally, all staves are quarterstaffs, but not all quarterstaves are Arcane Foci.
My inquiry was about why, on D&D Beyond, it was not coded to reflect that for a Druidic Focus, the "Wooden Staff" item, whereas the "Staff" item is. If it's an accident, I was just bringing it up so it may be fixed.
I think it's a remnant from a previous ruleset. I seem to recall something about druidic focuses being more important/delicate/fragile, like an oversized magic wand, so they weren't built mechanically to be used as actual staves
Bump
That’s not currently possible.

anyone know how to fix this aside from copying the character sheet entirely
Fix what, exactly?
MoH on this specific character sheet doesn't have the Intelligence option
the only way to "fix" it as of right now is to make a copy of the sheet but since this sheet's used in a Westmarches it's a bit complicated
gonna try looking for alternative methods but if nothing works out I'll have some explaining to do with the DM team lmao
Maybe give them a heads up before you do anything.
What’s MoH?
The portable Hole seems to be adding content weight to the person holding the hole, the description indicates the hole is virtually weightless regardless of stuff inside -- it also doesnt specify a capacity -- but a ton of stuff fits in a 10'deep hole
Mark of Healing. Sometimes it doesn't populate all the choices
Hi! I bought the Ravenloft bundle on the UK store (https://dndstore.wizards.com/uk/en) and have the activation key to redeem, but every time I try on D&D Beyond I get hit with an internal server error (500). I checked my account entitlements and it's not there either (and they are in sync. I'm wondering if I need to wait until the pre-release date to redeem the key?
Is it just the way homebrew is built? Cause there are lots of things that are Class level dependant as opposed to Character level
It’s possible in a subclass, but not in a feat.
how do I make the spell links work?
Try [spells]Firebolt[/spells]
Does anyone have the steel defender force empowered rend as a magic item on beyond? I wanna be able to my steel defenders weapon attack.
How do you get spells to work on a subclass?
I'm trying to make a Rogue subclass that's like Arcane Trickster but with Druid spells but can't seem to make it work.
I'm having an issue with the custom background where it won't add skill proficiencies, does anyone know how to fix this? It added my water vehicle proficiency and language, but nothing for the skills I picked.
I recommend just making it as a custom action instead.

You can make a homebrew copy of Arcane Trickster if you want to see how that was set up.
Most of the fields you need are in the subclass’s Basic Information.
Then you’ll also need a class feature called Spellcasting in order to get spell slots.
There’s usually a delay before those show up.
Not sure why, but they will eventually.
I am trying to redeem the pre-order key (coming from the phys+digital EU bundle) for Ravenloft but apparently there is some naughty Beholder issue over there
Does the Heroes of the Borderlands Adventure Pack digital include the digital dice set “Keep the Borderlands”? Or can I only get that with the ultimate bundle?
I believe it’s only with the bundle.
You’re redeeming it from here, correct?
What’s your DDB username?

Hi there! I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm trying to level up my paladin in dnd beyond, i have the 2014 PHB not the 24', and for some reason I don't have access to Oath of Vengeance despite it being in the 2014 PHB. Is there something I need to enable to allow this? Help!
wait
i found it
Which version of Paladin are you using?
cause i added a 2024 class not 2014
Yup!
how silly
It happens!
mechanically how different are they?
i know backgrounds and some spells are different but im not sure i know the bulk of differences between 2014 and 24 classes

Heyoooo! So I'm trying to reflavor Sage background. And so uhm, I can't find feat that lets you select ability score increase +2;+1 . It only lets me get the +1 and +1.

It sounds like the old 5E version of backgrounds.
To get it to work, I find if you choose a 5.5E base class, it should work that way.
-# there may be another way for 5E. I just play 5.5 so I know better how to fix it with a 5.5 base class
You won’t be able to add the official one, but you can make a homebrew one to include.

Is there a way to have the homebrew additional feature replace an existing feature?
like the right half of the image
Set the Feature Type to “Replacement”, then select something in “Species Trait to Replace”.
ah thanks
Fixed! Try using that code again.
I am not able to add a Homebrew Origin Feat ... am I doing something wrong?
The Homebrew Background only displays the two skills and Disquise Kit ... none of the other info.
Does it take awhile for DnDBeyond site to fully update the created Backgrounds and Origin Feats?
While you can make a homebrew feat with no requirements, you can't have it show up in any specific "Origin Feat" selection fields.
You can manually add it from the main character sheet though under Features and Traits->Feats->Manage Feats.
If I submit it to community does someone modify links and such so that it works as intended?
I imagine that's another thing that needs builder 2.0 to work.
No.
Also, just don't publish your homebrew unless 1) you're 100% sure it works as intended, and 2) that is your express purpose, to share with the community.
It's irreversible.
I know that the Human Versatile that gives a second origin feat not allow me to select my Homebrew
It not allow me to use hypelinks that are directed to DnD Beyond established material either
I not using external links ... just links to dnd beyond material ... perhaps I not doing something right
Don't use links in your homebrew, why would you need to?
Yeah, there's no way to get homebrew in this menu.
Some of my players are computer savy that why
And also, don't publish if it's only for you or your players. Unpublished homebrew is automatically shared with players in your campaigns.
So there's no need to publish.
Understood .... so my players will need to make adjustments after adding my homebrew.
I can't answer that without knowing what it's meant to do.
Anyways, I need to go. I recommend checking the homebrew forums on Beyond if you need help getting functionality to work. But you'll never get it in the "Select an Origin Feat" dropdowns.
Or check the #homebrew channel.
Whether you publish or not, no one else can make changes to your homebrew.
Either you’d need to make the changes (which is a lot harder to do if you publish it to the global community), or they’d need to make it themselves.
And again, these warnings can be safely ignored unless you’re trying to publish it to the global community, but either way, you probably want tooltips instead of links.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips
D&D Beyond offers the ability to link certain aspects on the forum in mouse-over triggered tooltips, such as magic items, monsters or combat actions - ex...
Any reason why drop down menus aren't showing the options to select on classes and whatnot?
When creating the Background it not give me the option when background added to character to select the Ability Scores. Figure this should be an option ... it like the Background is only assuming 2014 ... because Characteristics were part of species.
Whats the class and name of the option?
Path of the Glacier Barbarian. It's not the first time I've had this issue.
Looking at it and reading the ability it looks like it shouldn't have an option spot there
It stops you from finishing the character creation. It's like that on other classes as well. Primarily saw it on the newer content.
When creating the Background it not give me the option when background added to character to select the Ability Scores. Figure this should be an option ... it like the Background is only assuming 2014 ... because Characteristics were part of species. May I assume this will be corrected in the future?
There is no reason to post this twice in less then 30 mins. When someone who has the answer to your question shows up they will answer you
What part is keeping you from completing your character? I was able to go through the complete process without doing anything in that box.
It give me the picture of the female Tiefling. Asking to configure
When home brew background selected not able to select the Ability Scores.
I could be missing a button. I wouldn't put it past me.
Make sure you also have ability scores, a species, and a background chosen.
Noticing things chugging pretty badly with the DDB character sheet up in Firefox - anyone know what the cause is?

nvm i figured it out

hey quick question how do i make it so my homebrew specise is in a folder and not seperated?
i made one with multible variants and they aint in a folder all seperated
There is no folder organization possible currently (limitations of the system). Potentially with the character 2.0 work D&DBeyond devs are working on, things like folder organization might become possible.
i meant like this when you choose what to be
mine are all in diffrent areas
this is how it looks for the one i made
i give up on the folder thing
This means you’re missing a class, species, or ability scores.
That Frostbite option will only appear after Rage has been activated.
(But it should only be asking for that on the character sheet, not in the builder.)
I've always gotten it if I had a blue highlighted box that wasn't selected. Not only if I'm missing what you've listed.
You can create a homebrew ASI feat and add that to your background.
What class, species, and ability score method did you choose?
You can add them to any existing group, like Aasimar. You can’t create your own group.
I ended up changing the class to Path of the Infernal since the other class wasn't working. And I still got that screen when I had a Weapon Mastery not selected.
What species and ability score method had you chosen?
Goliath and rolled
Hey! just found a bug with one of the premade characters. If I try to add Tayr the Paladin from Welcome to Hellfire Club to my campaign, as an unassigned premade character i get the error attached. I was able to add the other characters just fine. I hope this is the right place to file a bug
@civic kernel Check the ability scores section, there's a glitch that can happen where it doesn't save all the rolled stats. You'll just have to click save again and it will be fixed.
The Tiefling warning didn't go away until I selected a weapon for weapon mastery. My scores were all rolled and set. I just selected Hand Axe and went to my character sheet, and that warning screen disappeared.
these would then belong under the yuan-ti how do i do that?
In their Basic Information, there’s a “Species Group” option.
Just select Yuan-Ti there.
(And note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes to appear on your sheet.)
oki thanks
Could someone explain in 2024 I can choose oath breaker but not in 2014 D&D Beyond
It may be something with your character settings. I have everything turned on and I am able to pick it for both the 5.5e (2024) paladin and the 5e (2014) paladin
Do you own the 2014 DMG yourself, or is it being shared with you?
Do you have “5e Core Rules” enabled for that character?
Its being shared
Is this character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing it?
it is
I personaly own the 2024 PHB but not the 2014, I thought the oathbreaker was in the DMG
It’s only found in the 2014 DMG.
(It’s not in the 2024 DMG.)
Are your Account Entitlements in sync?

Was this on the same character or two separate ones?
I just created them added them to the campaign used the 2014 Paladin class and it wouldnt show the oathbreaker. I then removed the 2014 paladin and replaced it with the 2024 paladfin and there it was
Maybe some weirdness about not having the '14 PHB?
Not sure why that would be the case, but I've got nothing else.
Possible :\ thank you for you help any way
Is it still missing for that character if you switch back?
is there a way to put prereqs on classes in the homebrewer?
You can add multiclass prereqs, but not single-class ones.
Is there a reason that this isn't doing anything?
and is there a reason that the drop down does not show up?
Is this a homebrew species? Because what you've told the species to do is to have separate, species features that provide a bonus of 2 to Strength and a bonus of 1 to something you'd select on the Species page.
it is a homebrew species, im just trying to have it be an ASI
Starting ASIs are handled by backgrounds now, not species. You don't even have to set anything up, either; it just works that way.
Anyway, if you want it to work for older stuff, this is how it should look. Set up a Species Trait that works like this:
First one is:
in 5.5. I'm trying to make this an additional feature a player can add if they are using a older background
Second one is:
I have that as an option too but it isnt working either, was just tryna cover them one at a time and thought the specific one would be easier
You need to make sure you wait 15 minutes or so between tests because homebrew caches at roughly that cadence to prevent the site from being DDOS'd.
I believe this is what i have
But either way, if you've done exactly what I have above then that works. I am testing it right now for myself and it is just fine.
its been about an hour, ive worked on other homebrew things since, and the edit that i made changing it from a granted feature to an additional feature was pushed through and its the same edit
Btw, I don't know if it matters, but set the Display Order for the Ability Score Increase trait to be 1.
You have it at 5 right now, and DNDB may be keying off that sort order to know what it is.
can i have two features be display order one of they aren't granted?
Wait, why isn't your Ability Score Increase trait Granted?
That's almost certainly causing the problem.
You should remake it as Granted.
I believe i switched it because it doubles up if i use a new background
its hard to remember due to the wait every time i edit
I believe you can set it to hide in builder if that's actually a problem, but you can also just instruct your players to not take both of them.
yeah it doubles up if granted
what does hide in builder do?
You shouldn't have your "Athasian Aarakocra" always get +2 Strength like that. That's what's causing the doubling up. You have it as a separate species trait to just boost Strength.
You need that to be in an Option within a species trait so that it isn't just always applied.
"Hide in Builder" does what it says on the tin: it hides the feature in the character builder which means it isn't visible. This would hide one set of your ASI traits if people were also using 5.5e Backgrounds. At some point, though, you should choose if you're making this for 5.5e or 5e and build it the right way for what you're building it for. I don't think you can get it to always show up exactly one time in any permutation because the ASI moved between revisions.
yeah it just needs to be additional
I need help i cant rember my email are password
You will need to contact customer support. But you could check any and all email accounts you have and see if any of them have emails from D&DBeyond as that could be an indication on how you registered your D&DBeyond account. As a note D&DBeyond uses 3rd party OAuth like Google, Apple, or Wizards of the Coast to authenticate and so it doesn't have/store passwords itself.

I sent two I cant rember my password are email for my beyond app I tried to log into the computer and since I forget the password and email I can’t do that I just wait for email
Well again it's either Apple, Google, or Wizards of the Coast account that you're using to login to D&DBeyond as those are the only supported ways to authenticate to D&DBeyond.
There's technically a deprecated Twitch account but as indicated with the "deprecated" note, there's a big chance it won't work.
I forget both wizzard and apple so I wait for email
Can you help in the beyond web page how do I use vtt maps i cant edit them it stays on the map
I have Choose Your Origin and Origin Ability Score Increase selected on a character using a 2014 background but I'm not being given the option on Species or Abilities to choose the scores I want. (The increase given by the species is just listed on Abilities like it wasn't replaced.)
I'm using the Lotol species from Heliana's Guide.
Hey, I am trying to make a homebrew subclass for Warlock (2024) and i keep getting the following error despite the class features being put at the right levels:
