[sour timber]

done the problem is fixed thank you so much

[vernal fractal]

What were you using/what did you disable? That way I can add it to our internal knowledgebase as a potential problem.

[worthy shell]

Hi, im creating a sword for a paladin of my game, and i want that this sword uses his Charisma ability modifier for the attack rolls and the damage bonus, and i tried many modifiers in the dnd beyond create magic items, but cannot seem to find something that does exactly this. I basically want the pact weapon feature to be enable to this weapon. How can this work?

[dire blade]

I believe you can do this with the modifier: Replace Weapon Ability > Charisma Score

[worthy shell]

When i do that it changes only the To Hit Bonus, im searching for something that also changes the damage bonus of the attack

[dire blade]

Hrm. I don't think anything else exists for this purpose. Since it's just for a weapon you intend to use on a character in your game, I'd recommend manually correcting the damage bonus to match the Charisma modifier.

[worthy shell]

I THINK I DID IT

ONE REPLACES THE HIT AND THE OTHER REPLACES THE DAMAGE

[dire blade]

Oh dang, nice job. I didn't know that second one worked that way. I'll make a note of that for other requesters in the future.

[sour timber]

I disable the vpn

[stiff nacelle]

Hello people, ive been pretty new to dnd and so to ddb. Now since i got my sheet done and tryin to getting used to the whole thing im wondering how i add a buff on my character sheet? Something like ''blessed'' for example.

[crystal oracle]

so, if it is truely just an RP thing, you can write it in somewhere in your backstory section. IF you are looking for some sort of perk that adds, lets say, advantage on perception roles. That would be a feat, which (as a DM) I have to say should be approved by your Game Master.

[dense viper]

Temp affects, like being Blessed from the Bless spell, aren't automated and you will just have to remember to roll the extra dice yourself

[stiff nacelle]

Thanks for the quick answer. I was hoping there would be something similar to the Conditions tab, where I could simply activate or deactivate those spells.

[dense viper]

There isnt yet unfortunately. And I dont know if it will become a thing in the future but I can be hopefull that it will be.

[balmy belfry]

Wasn't it mentioned on one of the AMA threads that it was "a desire" of the developers but required some other groundwork (that they are currently doing) to be created first

[celest owl]

I could use some help. I was creating an Artificer subclass, but I cant select it in the character creator. I have the book TCoE, so I don't know what the issue is.

[balmy belfry]

are you sure you're picking the proper artifier from TCoE and not from Eberron: Forge of the Artificer?

[loud drift]

It looks like you made the subclass for the 2024 class instead of the 2014 class

[celest owl]

Really, I need another book?!

[split hedge]

In the app I see the Beyond Drops as a book but when I go to download it I get an error.

[balmy belfry]

if you select Artificer (Legacy) that should reference the TCoE content you own

[celest owl]

"Why do we even have that button"

[worthy shell]

Hi, asking again, is there another way to add your proficiency bonus twice (expertise) to the attack roll? Now im making the swords for my rogue

[celest owl]

I think this chat would be better as a ticket-based chat

[split hedge]

You can override bonuses on the item in your inventory

[split hedge]

Yes lol

[split hedge]

When you click the item in your inventory you can see the stats + this Customize button. That's where the submenu is 🙏

[worthy shell]

yeah ik i could just do it manually, but as the item i was doing it before, i like to leave them ready to use for my players without them needing to do more

[split hedge]

Oooh yeah idk about all that sorry

[worthy shell]

dw, thank you regardless!!

I dound twice proficiency and can place attacks in that category, but it dosent change anythig

[crystal oracle]

known issue. They are aware

[celest owl]

You might be able to do it with a homebrew weapon. I'm not sure exactly, but this section seems promising

[split hedge]

Thanks 🙏

[crystal oracle]

anytime

[balmy belfry]

instead of twice proficiency try:

Click Add a Modifier.

Set Modifier Type: Bonus

Set Modifier Subtype: Magic Item Attack (This applies to the weapon's own attack rolls).

Scroll down to Referenced Stat and select: Proficiency Bonus.```

[dense viper]

That isnt a need another book thing. It more of making sure you picked the right class to base your homebrew off of. and then picking that same class in the character builder so you can pick your homebrew

[celest owl]

I didn't even know they updated the Artificer.

[split hedge]

Also, is there a reason the Horrors Within ultimate bundle is not listed in the international store?

[marble rune]

having issues when the DM is on a character along with the player - the app or internet sheet crashes out. will try to access via the map view sheet to see if this also happens

[dire blade]

Read this and the couple messages after it: #ddb-feedback message

[split hedge]

Yeah Forge of the Artificer and also the 3rd party Exploring Eberron sold in Beyond are 5.5e

[dire blade]

It was updated for the 5.5e ruleset in Eberron: Forge of the Artificer: https://marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/5147000?pid=D5147000

[celest owl]

Ugh

[split hedge]

Oooh ok word thanks

[balmy belfry]

you can still run the 2014 version just fine though... you dont have to update to the newer

[celest owl]

Is there a way to copy and paste the subclass?

[balmy belfry]

i am not sure i'm following your request

[dense viper]

There isnt a way to copy the one made for the 2014 (5e) one and have the copy be available for the 2024 (5.5e) one

or vice versa

[dire blade]

The short answer is no, but you can copy/paste the text you wrote and just keep both open next to each other to make the transfer go faster.

[loud drift]

The subclass structure is slightly different iirc, 2014 starts at lvl 1 and 2024 starts at lvl 3

[balmy belfry]

oh, you already created the class/subclass combination but cant create a character with it because you used the 2024 base instead of the 2014... oooo, that's tricky ask

[celest owl]

Yeah, so I basically have to start from scratch.

[dire blade]

Kinda. You have it programmed and typed up and know the modifiers to use, so the only part you really have to redo is the clicking of some buttons. It should go quicker. 🙂

[celest owl]

But that's the part I hate 😭

[balmy belfry]

might have to re-evaluate anything you gave to adjust for differences between 2014/2024... that shouldn't be too bad though, just mainly levels you attain stuff etc

i would just open side-by-side, grab your fav drink, and knock it out in a few minutes... it would be kinda nice to be able to go back into the first menu and change the base class

[worthy shell]

something like this??

[balmy belfry]

Looks like that might do the trick... i haven't played around with this in a while. Save it and give it a spin

[balmy belfry]

seems like only fixed value is getting passed along and perhaps that is because proficiency bonus is already applied (though i'm just looking at a weapon not a bracer)

[worthy shell]

i shall give it a try

[worthy shell]

i dont understand what you say in the first part, and for the second my player wanted a bracer like assassins creed hidden blade so yeah, is a bracer with a shortsword hidden

[dense viper]

For that I would actually use the armblades as a base for your weapon

[celest owl]

Is there a difference? I've been using the slchemist as my reference, but noting unlock-wise seems to be different.

[balmy belfry]

I just know the more general things like what level you pick subclass and that, but not super familiar with that class specifically in the 2014 version. But, I heard the 2024 is different wrt patterns known etc

[uneven lantern]

Given that you already wrote the rules with the 2014 class in mind, you shouldn’t have to worry about any of that.

[mental nimbus]

Thanks!

I've done as suggested. It looks like something is wrong with the campaign called "The Rebellion ". Would incomplete characters linked tonthe campaign prevent any encounters being saved? I've not seen this happen before when setting up and linking encounters to campaigns that are being created.

[balmy belfry]

Maybe just make sure that you remove the incomplete characters from the party if you've assigned them

[mental nimbus]

Ah - so if the players are in development and I'm planning the encounters linked to them so session zero they roll their stats, I can't link encounters to that campaign?

I've not come across that issue before. for any campaigns I've set up. I've alwys had a number ready to go, linked to the campaign and the characters (linked to the players) in that campaign so we can all be building characters with content I share, and I can build the encounters. Is it a new quirk?

[bronze relic]

Once the new DDB platform has been rolled out, and (hopefully) assuming it will allow us DMs to exclude specific books/classes/sublasses/races/spells, etc., from character creation in a campaign, is the intention that we will also have the capacity to exclude material from Drops, even if the player owns it, from character creation in our campaigns?

[violet fiber]

I see no reason not to.

It's marked under a seperate header in dropdown menus, after all.

[earnest berry]

On the D&D Beyond website, one of the characters I made just disappeared. On the app, the same character is there, but won't load. I reloaded the site and I restarted the app but it's still not working. What do I do?

[jovial flax]

What is the difference between Natural and survival exactly? Aren't both them are living in a climate or place

[violet fiber]

Nature is knowledge of Nature, i.e. plants, birds, certain monsters, rivers, volcanoes, etc, while Survival is more like following hunting, gathering, making a bivouac, & other ways to stay alive in Nature.

[dense cape]

The hb item I have created can't seem to display the reason for the +2 AC bonus, when I need it to be specific

[wanton glade]

technically you can now by asking your players to turn it off

[bronze relic]

Haha! Technically I can tell my players everything they can and can't choose when they enter my campaign. But I'm specifically interested in the capacity for me to exclude Drops from my campaign when creating it.

On the new platform, obviously not now.

[languid thorn]

Question: what time are dndbeyond drops maps supposed to show up? Atleast for the weekly drop ins.

[jovial flax]

what is the advantage and disadvantage?

[uneven lantern]

Are you asking how those work in the rules of D&D?

(This channel is for getting help with the website D&D Beyond.)

[jovial flax]

Oh alright mb

[modern vessel]

So, I saw on the Wizards Play Network site the D&D Beyond was supposed to have the player rules for the new Encounters season up yesterday. Have those been posted? If so I can't find them.

[torn crystal]

Should be live now! Drops release in the afternoon on Pacific Time.

[torn crystal]

Hi! According to the WPN article, Encounters materials won't be available for stores until May 19th.

[modern vessel]

Thank you for the response. Am I looking at an out of date article?

[torn crystal]

double checking; one mo

@modern vessel okay, so I have confirmed that the highlighted part there is behind, but everything else should be on time.

[modern vessel]

Good to know. Thanks!

[civic apex]

@vernal fractal theres been talk of rebuilding the dndbeyond apps and engine to be on a database not calculator based, so does that mean when that work is done, if someone enables rage for example, their resistances get taken into account for a minute of turns? Those sorts of character features will be working in app? Is that the vision? And if so, reckon that might be in testing by end of year?

[vernal fractal]

That's a great example of something we'll be able to do in the new game engine.

I can't comment on timelines, unfortunately. Other than "this is a big project."

[smoky spoke]

are there any backend modifiers I need to do for this homebrew feature?

[loud drift]

No, looks like all that would be handled manually by the player.

[balmy belfry]

isn't there a toggle for the counting as one size larger (if you want it represented in the inventory weight)

[dense viper]

There might be, but i'm currently unable to make a copy of goliath to find out for sure. Apparently the make a homebrew options have been taken off the mobile site.

[dire blade]

This does exist, yes.

You want: Carrying Capacity - Multiplier > 2

[balmy belfry]

Powerful Build is what the Goliath has

[dire blade]

You can set up that Advantage as well doing—yep, what Skunk just posted.

[earnest berry]

I'm sorry if it's annoying to bring it up again, but I do need help on this issue.

[violet fiber]

Did you sign in with the same account you made the character on?

[earnest berry]

Yes. All of my other characters are there, there's just the one and the copy of it I made that just disappeared.

[violet fiber]

Did you remember to save the copy?

[earnest berry]

I can access her character sheet through the campaign I'm in and she's listed as being mine, but she's completely missing from the My Characters page. The copy is just a leveled up version of her, and that's missing, too.

[violet fiber]

So you don't have the copy

Or the original

Hmmmm....did the DM of the campaign perhaps do something by accident?

[earnest berry]

Within the campaign, she's still listed as active and belonging to me. That's the only way I have access to her sheet as of right now. I probably won't get a response from the DM for a while regarding the subject, though.

[violet fiber]

Sounds like either the DM accidentally claimed the character, or a random blip in the site

Multiple people can claim a character

[loud drift]

How many characters do you have?

[violet fiber]

They said just the one & a copy:Both missing

[loud drift]

They said all of their other characters are there

[earnest berry]

I should have 113 total, it's only listing 111. This character and her copy are missing.

[balmy belfry]

to the question being elluded to, my understanding was that campaign characters did not count against your max number of characters (for the free account)

[earnest berry]

I have a Master sub.

[balmy belfry]

dang! here i thought i had a few too many with 12 characters 🙂

[earnest berry]

It's a hobby. That's not the point.

[violet fiber]

Let's stay constructive

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest contacting customer support and asking them to take a closer look.

?tag ddb support

[loud sedge]

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

[balmy belfry]

Not intention to shame, honestly impressed... with a master sub, have you tried to recreate the scenario (using your master sub and a free account) to pinpoint what may have happened? The only thing I've ever had happen to a campaign was all the shares just magically stopped sharing with the players

[violet fiber]

This does sound like a random incident w/no correlation to other glitches.

[balmy belfry]

wonder if there's any custom HB gear that's suddenly not being shared or content that's owned by the campaign owner that you dont own

[earnest berry]

That's a good point. I'll check to see if I can recreate the issue. I may or may not come back depending on if something happens.

Okay apparently 10 characters are missing I just couldn't tell because there are so many. I just counted and it's showing 102 characters but 112/unlimited slots. The added 1 was my attempt to recreate the issue and it worked, but I don't know why.

[worthy shell]

Does anyone know how to link the number of castings of a spell to the proficiency bonus of the character? There is a spellfire sorcerer feat of the book Adventures in Faerun that lets you cast Sacred Flame as a bonus action equal to the proficiency bonus of the character. Does someone know hot to do this with the magic items or feats?

Spells or the charges of the item are the proficiency bonus of the character

[earnest berry]

Update: I believe all of the missing characters are bards but not all bards are missing. I switched the bug test from bard to cleric and it appeared.

[balmy belfry]

Anything special about the bards? Common subclass?

What are your steps to reproduce? I’m willing to try and confirm

[earnest berry]

All I do is make a level 1 bard, 5e or 5.5e, and it just doesn't show. It doesn't effect characters that multiclass into bard, though.

[balmy belfry]

In a campaign or not?

[earnest berry]

Doesn't matter, both.

[balmy belfry]

And does sort order change anything

[earnest berry]

Other than the order, no. Same characters are still gone.

[earnest berry]

I was wrong. One multiclass bard is missing but the other two are there. Three main class bards still remain as well but I don't see a common link between them.

[balmy belfry]

looks like something specific on your account... i just created a bard, no issues seeing it and no issues seeing my other bard that I created a while ago

[earnest berry]

Cool. Good to know. It's such a specific situation, though. And even though the commonality is "bard" there are five exceptions with nothing special to set them apart.

[balmy belfry]

super strange too that if you just flip the class things "work"

[earnest berry]

Insane discovery: if I change the first letter of their names to anything between M-Z they reappear but numbers, symbols, and letters A-L disappear.

It gets weirder though! If the first letter isn't capitalized, no matter what it is, it also appears!

[verbal creek]

That is an odd glitch.

[vernal fractal]

Definitely submit a support ticket with as much info as you can.

[earnest berry]

I'm working on that right now actually.

[earnest berry]

I've figured out the exact pattern on what does and does not show. If a bard is <49 in order of characters from top to bottom, it doesn't show no matter how I sort it. So it has nothing to do with the name of the character, just the placement. I don't know how to fix that, but I at least figured out the parameters.

[slender timber]

Hey, Im trying to access my owned content on dndbeyond. I can download the books on the app just fine. It might be just me but for the life of me I dont understand where I should click to see my books on the website.

I looked for 15 minutes then posted here then found it. Is this a bug? I have to click that tiny third "view all" text

[edgy oriole]

Click the "View All" link

[slender timber]

oh, it looks very different on chrome. This was firefox

[edgy oriole]

You can then mark which books are your favorites so they show up under the Favorited area

[slender timber]

Thanks yeah, when I log in then all the suggested content disappears and it shows that big empty menu with three tiny view all links. Bit strange and hard to find.

If I want a printable version of a map from Shattered Obelisk, do I have to buy it from Schley? The png in the digital book is very low quality

[wanton glade]

Probably. Print quality is different than online quality

[past hawk]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm curious before I buy the book. Does anyone know if the Illusionist's Bracers from the Guild Master's Guide to Ravnica actually place any cantrips you have in your bonus actions on your character sheet (or even add text about using cantrips a 2nd time as a bonus action) or is it a situation where you just have to remember you have the item equipped and what it does?

[edgy oriole]

I don't believe it has that automation functionality - it's more like a paper sheet in that regard in that the item has text explaining the features it provides and it's up to the player to remember to communicate and use that feature as appropriate in their games.

[loud drift]

Hopefully something on the growing list of "to be fixed" with the rebuild

[edgy oriole]

Oh man the functionality that could be unlocked with more flexible fields that could connect to your prepared spell list...

[loud drift]

I'm excited to see it but I'm currently more excited for Character Builder 2.0 since I've been enjoying the new Quick Builder.

[past hawk]

That's what I figured, just wanted to have a reasonable expectation prior to buying the book 🙂

[true belfry]

Hello, trying to add the Luminous War Pick from Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk to one of my player character sheet, but when I am searching within the inventory panel, I cannot find it. I have the adventure enable for content sharing and the character sheet as pretty much everything enabled excepted partner content. Is this a bug, or am I missing something. Thank you very much 🙂

P.S. I have the master tier subscription

[polar wave]

I rejoined this server to ask this question: Why is the "my uploaded maps" option nonexistant in my VTT page?

[loud drift]

Is the character in the same campaign where the content is being shared? Also are the entitlements in sync both from the account source of the sharing and the target character accounts?

[loud drift]

Do you have a master tier subscription?

[polar wave]

No, I just have the free version.

[loud drift]

Master Tier is currently required for custom map uploads.

[polar wave]

So, I can't run my custom campaign on D&DBeyond without a paid susbscription?

[true belfry]

hello,

1. Is the character in the same campaign where the content is being shared? YES
2. are the entitlements in sync both from the account source of the sharing and the target character accounts? (not sure what this mean, can you ELI5, please) I have create the campaign and my friends joined to it, the screenshot above is a character I just created for the purpose of the example

[dense viper]

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[dense viper]

Please read the post above by Dyno

[true belfry]

@loud drift yes everything seem to be in order

[dense viper]

Also if you just made the campaign. Have you turned on content sharring?

[true belfry]

campaign was create a while ago, content sharing is activated as showned in the previous screenshot

[loud drift]

You can run it with any maps acquired through DDB purchases or made freely available through Maps VTT. Also if someone else in the campaign has a Master Tier subscription then content sharing can be enabled to give you access to other campaign members owned maps.

Also I believe Zac has said they hope to open custom uploads to everyone eventually, but I could be remembering wrong.

[polar wave]

Ok, one of my players has a paid account I think. I guess I can give him all my campaign maps for him to upload on my behalf.

[dense viper]

I missed that.

Also as an fyi that content screen where you can limiit acces to books doesnt work for content in the character builder.

So while they cant read other books they can still pick subclasses, spells, and items from all sources shared unless they are turned off in character settings.

[uneven lantern]

If you look at that third image, the "Filter by Source Category" section shows only two categories: 5.5e Core Rules and 5.5e Expanded Rules. This item would be in 5e Expanded Rules, which is not listed there.

But why it's showing only those two categories when you've clearly enabled others, I don't know. 😅

Has this character been deactivated? Such a character wouldn't have access to shared content.

[loud drift]

Maybe if they uncheck those boxes the weapon will show up? I haven't seen this problem before when playing in the builder.

[true belfry]

It is showing now, did not change anything, maybe it just took a couple minutes to update...
also @uneven lantern all sources are showing now

[uneven lantern]

Strange

Glad it's working, though!

[true belfry]

[past hawk]

next question, when the Marketplace has a banner over a 5e book that says "Compatible with the New Core Rule Books" (like Curse of Strahd has), what exactly does that mean? Does it mean that any linked monsters, items and such in the book now redirect to the 5.5e version when the tool tip/link is clicked on, or does it just mean that the adventure can be run with the 5.5e rules as more of a generic comment? I've seen the banner on a few items but am generally unsure of what exactly it means for the book.

[loud drift]

Give me a minute to pull up Curse of Strahd and see if it can help answer that.

[past hawk]

would definitely be appreciated!

[loud drift]

It definitely links back to 5e stats instead of being updated to 5.5e links, so I'm assuming what the banner means is that the DM can swap out old for new and it's still playable.

[past hawk]

Thanks. Personally, I think that makes the banner a little misleading in that case, but that's more for the feedback channel I suppose

[loud drift]

I don't think everything has a straight one for one swap due to some of the MM updates/added creatures, but yeah it does require some leg work from the DM.

[edgy oriole]

5.5 is forward compatible (designed that way) meaning it's pretty easy to bring 5.0 materials forward into 5.5 games with generally very little tweaks/modifications needed. That said what one finds "little" can be subjective.

[past hawk]

definitely. It's a little thing in all reality, but it's also something that I might find annoying if I bought the book expecting it to be 5.5e compatible right out the gate (which to me is what that banner implies)

[hybrid nova]

I think it comes down to the fact they put it on things they wanted to highlight that were made before the new core books (Eve of Ruin, Tasha's, now Strahd, etc.). It's mostly a marketing thing. The problem is that while what it says is true for all original 5e books, putting that banner on everything would make it lose all meaning.

To add to that, some users started to ask if it meant things were updated to the new rules, which I don't think they ever necessarily intend to do.

[past hawk]

Yea, and that's ultimately where my question was coming from since the banner itself isn't really clear in that regard (at least in my opinion)

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, what it's saying is true and always has been, but people sometimes take it to mean something was done to update it. It's sort of a lose-lose scenario, because if they put it on everything it loses all meaning, if they do what they're doing now people think it means there are updates, and if they don't use it at all people will think nothing from before the new core books works with the new stuff.

So I have to imagine their marketing data says what they're doing now has some positive impact overall, or why would they keep doing it, you know?

[past hawk]

That's definitely a fair perspective. I'd be inclined to say there should just be a note about it in the product details, but we all know people barely read those haha

[loud drift]

it could be big bold letters at the top of the screen as proven by the new honey pot

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, your average person just kind of doesn't read things a lot of the time. So marketing has to make it as in-your-face as possible without getting in the way.

There were so many posts complaining about the "sudden" change after the whole K-ID thing went into effect, even though there was a message at the top of the Beyond homepage for months before it happened to get that squared away before the start date.

[past hawk]

Yea, that kinda blew me away with how many people had trouble with that

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

In DnDbeyond you gotta pay for all the content you want to acess, if you got a DM with the books he can share them if he hosts the campaign

[heavy escarp]

I must trying to play a warlock i thought that was in the 2014 basic rules

[uneven lantern]

Both versions of the Warlock class itself are available without purchase.

But that’s also true of only one subclass for each class.

[dire blade]

Also, Evoker is a Wizard subclass, not a Warlock subclass.

[loud drift]

If you're wanting the 2014 Warlock you'll have to scroll up and click the red X to remove the Wizard class and then scroll through the class options for Warlock.

[uneven lantern]

If you want any additional subclasses, you can:

• purchase books that contain additional subclasses
• add that character to a campaign where those books are shared
• use the homebrew system to create your own subclass
• get a subscription and download a publicly-shared homebrew subclass from another user

[loud drift]

I pre-ordered the Ravenloft bundle, verified it's showing up in my license and purchase history and money taken and my entitlements are in sync, however I still can't access anything from the Play Along pack that isn't the Zombie Clot.

[violet fiber]

This

[loud drift]

falso alarm, the unlock took longer than I'm used to

Well, it's mostly working

[violet fiber]

It worked the second after I posted

[earnest berry]

I figured out the problem and remedied it myself, is there a way to close my support ticket?

And not unrelated: Was AI used for anything in regards to the Bard class on D&D Beyond?

[noble pendant]

So i making a Potion, but I don't know how to make this modifier

Roll a number of d4s equal to your proficient bounus. You regain a number of hit points equal to the total rolled.

[hybrid nova]

Um...no? Why would you think that?

[empty patrol]

My Barbarian 2024 has the Magic Initiate feat, so I have some spells. But the spell attack, spell save DC doesn’t appear on the exported PDF character sheet. I love this feature but I’d like to have the numbers carried over.

[lime void]

Hi. Is this the right channel for asking a question about the D&D Beyond subreddit rules?

[uneven lantern]

We don't run anything on Reddit. I'd recommend contacting a moderator there instead.

[earnest berry]

Apparently, the source of the issue was a browser extension for making AI content invisible. It was considering any bard located in the first 16 rows of the My Characters page to be AI content, for some odd reason, and that meant it needed to make them disappear. So I was curious if there was something to it, or if it was just a weird glitch and nothing else.

[edgy oriole]

...wow what a weird interaction! lol

[balmy belfry]

when making a HB monster, is there a "resistance to all magical damage"? I see a All - Resistance but that would include physical damage as well correct? Trying to mock up something very resistant to magic but vulnerable to physical

[tough token]

Hello! I was wondering if anyone could help me with an issue I'm having. I just recently had a player join my campaign, he added his character and it shows his character badge and everything under the Players section like it's supposed to, but when i go into Maps VTT, it has his token listed as "(player name)'s character" and the token portrait is blank. We tried removing his character from the campaign and readding him, we tried refreshing the website and Maps VTT and i even cleared cache and everything and it is still not showing his token properly. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[loud drift]

How long ago did he make/add the character? The server-side cache can take up to 15 minutes to catch up.

[tough token]

We've been struggling with this for about an hour now i think? It's been well over 15 minutes i know that fs since he made it

[loud drift]

Well hopefully someone will come along with more ideas, I haven't seen a delay bigger than that outside of network or server issues.

[tough token]

Okay well i appreciate you trying to help

[dense viper]

Have you tried clearing the cache on your web browser?

Nevermind I reread where you said you did that

[tough token]

You're fine lol but yes i did that as well. He's going to try making his character through the campaign instead of importing a character to see if that works. Not sure what else to do after that if it doesn't work

I tried creating an unassigned character named "Test" on my end and Maps VTT had the token ready to go not a second later but the badge under characters said "Fulcrum's character" even though i named it Test so maybe the website is bugging out? No idea lol

[loud drift]

Sounds like a Zac thing to look into.

[tough token]

I know earlier graffitirip you said it takes 15 minutes to update so maybe thats what that was

All else fails, I will just make a monster token for him to control on the Maps if i can't figure it out lmao

Cause it seems like there's some system communication issue with his character sheet and the token system

[tough token]

UPDATE - My player is playing a Pugilist Barbarian (idk if that matters), but he went in and chose to make a character from the Campaign screen instead of importing a sheet, chose Barbarian first and THEN Pugilist and his token is showing up correctly for the new character. Not sure how that fixed it but we're rolling with it lol Thank you both for helping!

[maiden inlet]

Yeah, same issue with my Puglist character in the campaign I play in.

[tough token]

So maybe it's a communication issue or bug in the system revolving around the Pugilist class? 🤔 Good to know...

[balmy belfry]

is DDB website working super slow for everyone else?

Are home brew items referenceable in a home brew monster's gear? Trying to use [items]Item Name[/items] tag just results in [Tooltip Not Found] looks like not possible

[dense viper]

Unfortunately you cant reference homebrew items or spells with tooltips

[barren hare]

One of my players has lost access to their character. It seems someone else has claimed it, we can't find it in any of my campaign links now. Is there any way to track the dirty SOB that did this down, to link their beyond name to a discord name?

secondary question, is it possible to prevent certain accounts from joining my campaigns

[violet fiber]

Is it gone from their list of characters?

Because someone else had a similar issue, only it was a database error in their case, w/no claiming involved

[barren hare]

I mean the same account that is listed on it is listed in one of my campaigns with a character we don't recognize and I can't find the missing character in any of mine

what did they do to resolve?

[violet fiber]

Customer Support(Once a human was reached) was able to fix it quickly once the ticket came up in the cue.

But if a rando got into your campaign, that might complicate things

[barren hare]

I'm walking through the campaigns one character at a time to tie discord names to beyond names by hand, also to slap the wrists of people who didn't put all of their characters in one of my campaigns 🙄 Some of my beans are really good others I think are muddying the waters

the randos are getting the boot, but it would be nice to have a way to ban them

[violet fiber]

Was the link to this campaign not private?

[barren hare]

these are semi-public on account of onboarding for a west marches style server

just adds another step to our bookkeeping

[violet fiber]

OK, that's how.

In which case, Customer Support may be able to help at least w/the character reclamation

[barren hare]

yeah, I can't help that we'll get someone who joins, makes a character and dips. weeding them out is just part of the process now. I did pass that info on to my player, appreciate the info!

[violet fiber]

Not a problem!

[noble pendant]

how do you give a weapon a STR requirement

[earnest star]

Is this the place to ask a question about character creation in DDB?

Well, I'll ask anyway and you can ignore me if inappropriate. If I were to create a human character in D&D Beyond, and manually (with dice) roll my ability scores, when does D&D Beyond add the +1 for each ability score? Do all human characters get this ability score adjustment, or just some?

[eternal jungle]

It would add them after accounting for the rolls, but before any other stat adjustments e.g. ASIs.
All characters using the 2014 [Legacy] Human species [NOT Variant Human or the 2024 [5.5e] Human] get the increase.

[earnest star]

OK, that answers my question as I'm using 2024 rules (I think) in D&D Beyond so they're not added in. I got confused by reading about variant human (?) somewhere else, and an earlier PHB. Variant human doesn't appear to be a species selection you can make in D&D beyond. I should be OK if I just let DDB do its thing and not worry about where it's getting its numbers.

[eternal jungle]

Ah; if the increase isn't showing up, that's why; 2024 characters get their stat increases from Background, not Species.
Variant Human is an option under the 2014 Human, not 2024/5.5e.

[earnest star]

I didn't realize you choose your ruleset version from one of the first option screens in character creation. It makes much more sense now. Thanks.

[pale granite]

so I've been trying to make a feat on dndbeyond and it wont let me enter a description, is that a me problem or something else

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try, exactly?

[pale granite]

i physically cant type in the box, everywhere else works but i cant make the feat, it requires a description

[uneven lantern]

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

[pale granite]

it works on a different browser

[brazen patrol]

I pre-ordered the Ravenloft Ultimate bundle 2 days ago but I still can't access the monster drops that have been happeneing. Anything I need to do extra for that?

[past hawk]

are maps and other DM focused stuff sharable? Like if my wife buys the upcoming Ravenloft book on her account and I set up a campaign on mine, whould I be able to run one of the one shots from the Ravenloft book in Maps, or would that be a thing only she could do? I know all the player content is shareable, but I've never tried to set anything up in maps, so I'm curious

[uneven lantern]

If you check this page, is that book listed under Current Product Licenses?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses

[uneven lantern]

It works basically the same as shared character options: you can use it in that campaign, but not outside of it.

[past hawk]

awesome, thank you! Wanted to make sure as I might want to run a few of the one shots from that book and wanted to make sure I wouldn't also have to buy a copy of it

[lime void]

I remember back in 2020, before WotC purchased D&D Beyond, the original devs had a pipeline of content they were intending to develop. One of which was stackable arrow bundles (ammunition). Has this planned feature been all but sidelined? Is there any update on homebrew ammunition?

[safe hedge]

im having issues with dnd beyond and aftter looking into it it looks likes it not on my end, do we have a timeline for when everything will be good again, I have a session in a few hours so I wanna let my players know asap

[past hawk]

things seem to be loading fine for me, at least character sheets. Haven't tried maps or anything else really

[short oak]

I assume several pagers are going off right now. Fingers crossed it's an easy fix.

[cedar cargo]

for me its the campaigns menu and the vtt I use is a 3rd party chrome extension that ties into dnd beyond and its also affected

[open coral]

Encounters page loads, but dice rolls and the Auto Roll Initiative link don't seem to work

[uneven lantern]

The devs are looking into it.

[north sand]

I'm making a 5e character and using the variant human race, but it won't let me add the +1 to two different scores. It doesn't even show it on the species tab. Can anyone help me?

[fading bramble]

do you have a 2014 background

[uneven lantern]

☝️ If you pair it with a 2024 background, then per the rules, you’d ignore any ASI from the species and use only the one from the background.

[north sand]

That would be it. It didn't say that anywhere in the builder that I saw so I didn't know that was a thing

[uneven lantern]

You can find that rule here, then, for future reference:

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

Homebrew Question: Did someone already figured out how to make a 2024 warlock subclass to be published?

This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels.

I have 2 features at level 3 (One the obligatory spell list), 1 at level 6, 1 at level 10, and 1 at level 14.

I know some classes are bugged and need a "Ghost" feature for it to work. But i cant figured out which level it is.

[midnight granite]

I think the ghost feature had to be level 1,

[cursive mauve]

It was not on the level 1. At this point i will just start to put once on each open level until something changes.

[loud drift]

Click the main save button and see if that makes the text go away.

[cursive mauve]

Been doing that for a while now, no luck.

[loud drift]

Hmm, hopefully spam will check in as I think he's the resident expert on it. Though Noob has also shown themselves to be quite knowledgeable of the homebrew tools.

[balmy belfry]

do you have the proper number of spells assigned at each level?

well... that doesn't actally seem to be consistent at lvl 3, but 5/7/9 all just have 2 it seems

might also help if you post a screen shot of the class features for others to look at

[cursive mauve]

Yeah just for safety i made exactly like (in numbers & levels, not in spells ofc) the fiend one and its a no go.

[balmy belfry]

can you post any screen grabs of what you've configured?

[balmy belfry]

from that table, the only thing i see different is the Display order, which i wouldn't expect to cause issues

[cursive mauve]

Yeah i had to remove the ghost feature at level 1 that i thought would do the trick.... Worked for rogue.

[balmy belfry]

do you have any difference in ordering of action vs modifier vs spells?

or like do you have 3 modifiers when one of the published only has 2?

Action, Spells, Action, Modifier, Actions is how the fiend is built

[cursive mauve]

I will say the only one of the features that has a modifier is the spell list one. All of the rest is just text with no modifiers, selections or anything like that what so ever.

[balmy belfry]

so it sounds like you have the correct levels but not the proper feature

perhaps try migrating your text description into Actions where applicable and Modifiers where applicable... I know (from testing) just having proper assigned levels but no actions/spells throws same error

[loud drift]

Keep in mind that it doesn't need to be published to be used by you or campaigns you're in, and it's typically discouraged to publish before testing it to make sure you're happy with how it's set up.

[cursive mauve]

All right make ghost actions and things.

[cursive mauve]

No luck team, at this point i am inclined to believe it is no longer a me problem.

[balmy belfry]

i will try to replicate the full thing if you wish to DM me screen shots of what you have

Hi, I have a Master-tier subcription, but when I go to look at my characters and campaigns, I don't seem to have access to any of the perks.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’m afraid not. You should be able to edit it after if you want to move things around, though.

[wanton glade]

I’m hoping the export to PDF for the next version of D&D Beyond is a better improvement than what we currently have. I hope it uses the new character sheet for 5.5, but as it currently stands, it’s not a great result when you export it.

[south arch]

how do you code darkvision into an item, like in its description?

[uneven lantern]

You’d need a Modifier.

• Type: Set Base
• Subtype: Darkvision
• Fixed Value: 60

As an example.

If it stacks, you may need to change Set Base to just Set.

This obsidian black, bone embedded armor clings to the wearer's form to an almost uncomfortable tightness. It is made from Helldusk, a mineral of onyx black only mined within Avernus.

While wearing this armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and you can understand and speak Abyssal. In addition, the armor’s clawed gauntlets turn unarmed strikes with your hands into magic weapons that deal slashing damage, with a +1 bonus to attack rolls and damage rolls and a damage die of 1d8. Finally, due to the armor's material the wearer is also granted Fire resistance.

Curse. Once you don this cursed armor, you can’t doff it unless you are targeted by the [spell]remove curse[/spell] spell or similar magic. While wearing the armor, you have disadvantage on attack rolls against demons and on saving throws against their spells and special abilities. The life force of a Cambion named Orzazeal was used to forge this weapon.

Sentience. The Helldusk is a sentient lawful evil set of armor with an intelligence of 16, a wisdom of 12, and a charisma of 16. It has hearing and darkvision out to 120 feet

The armor telepathically communicates with its wearer and can speak, read, and understand Abyssal, Common, and Infernal.

This is what I have, how do I make the text to darkvision go green is what I am asking sorry.

also, I cant put a dot point in the right spot. How do I fix that?

[uneven lantern]

Ah! For that, use [sense]darkvision[/sense]

THANK YOU ❤️

[vivid onyx]

Hi all. Recently purchased the 2014 digital player's handbook, just to get familiarized with the game after a somewhat extensive absence from D&D: however, can't find it?

Wait. Seems clicking on totally random links has directed me to it. Couldn't find it previously, probably because I'm so old.

[loud drift]

Nah there's a delay between buying digital books and them showing up in the library often times

[vivid onyx]

that's it, though. purchased 5 days ago. Clicking 'Library' contained none of the links others told me to look for, like "Owned." Never showed up.

Told me I 'had no favorites.' So, just FTHOI, I clicked "show all" and there it was.

[loud drift]

Ah, okay. Yeah the extra click had been a point of contention for some.

[vivid onyx]

My logical brain, faced with the "You have no favorites selected" message, thought "Well, no need to click on the 'view all' link, then."

[dire blade]

How do you even access the Horrors of Ravenloft weekly monster drops? They don't appear in the library as far as I can tell.

Are those even weekly, actually? I completely forgot they were a thing and now I can't find them.

[hybrid nova]

They do, they're under the Ravenloft Play Along Pack.

The free one is the Zombie Clot Encounter.

They're listed separately.

[dire blade]

Ah, okay, I was searching for the monster names unsure what to look for. Found 'em.

[hybrid nova]

Actually, Zombie Clot is weird and doesn't show up in the library, it seems.

But the overall one should.

[dire blade]

Hey wait, why is the https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmr/mist-horrors using the Auntie Ethel's lair map? That seems wrong.

This was a map from the BG3 map pack.

[hybrid nova]

I think they all reuse maps.

The Gremishka encounter uses Old Bonegrinder with the name removed.

[dire blade]

I think you're right. The Dullahan one is straight outta Dragon Delves as well.

[hybrid nova]

And I think one of them (Waxworks?) is a colored version of a DMG map.

[dire blade]

Yes, it's the Volcanic Caves with a very weird filter over top of it.

[warm void]

any news on when the ravenloft products will be available on the international partner site?

[uneven lantern]

They should already be available on the /eu and /uk sites. The /us site, however, is effectively closed; they’re no longer taking orders for any product.

More info on that closure here:

• Ravenloft pre-orders for Canadian customers
• Ravenloft pre-orders for non-EU/UK international customers

[warm void]

so for canada they will be available for preorders on ddb, just not yet?

[uneven lantern]

Yeah

My Barbarian 2024 has the Magic Initiate feat, so I have some spells. But the spell attack, spell save DC doesn’t appear on the exported PDF character sheet. I love this feature but I’d like to have the numbers carried over.

[uneven lantern]

Works fine for me. Are you maybe using a homebrew version of that subclass? If so, the person who created it would need to add it there.

[normal scarab]

Yes and yes on this

[normal scarab]

I'll check that, but wouldnt all the optional stuff be gone and not just Divine Strike?

[normal scarab]

• Created a new character sheet, everything enabled including Partnered content, except homebrew.
• Selected Optional Class Features
• Selected 5e Cleric, no Domain
• Leveled up to 8
• Clicked Optional Feature Manager
• Additional Cleric Spells, Harness Divine Power and Cantrip Versatility are all there.

I just checked my entitlements, and I am synced

[uneven lantern]

I’m pretty sure that since this technically replaces a subclass feature, that code-wise it’s set up on the subclass itself.

[uneven lantern]

So in this scenario, not selecting a subclass would naturally cause it to be missing.

[normal scarab]

Yes. Just selected Death Domain and its there. Swapped to Blood under Critical Role and its not there

I am now assuming that since its 3rd party content its intended to not be there

[uneven lantern]

That wouldn’t explain why I see it and you don’t, though.

Did you purchase both of these books yourself? TCOE and EGTW?

Or are they shared with you?

[normal scarab]

I own TCOE, EGTW is being shared in the campaign link

[graceful holly]

so apparently I can't swap out my abberant mind spells in dndbeyond

(the books are shared to me with campaign. I don't own them)\

[hybrid nova]

So if you're referring to the version of the subclass from the '24 PHB, that's intentional, they don't swap anymore. If you're referring to the old version of the subclass from Tasha's, it's a system limitation that may end up being corrected after the backend/character builder update.

[graceful holly]

2014

so from tasha's yes

[graceful holly]

hmm... when's that update?

[hybrid nova]

They don't give timelines, because software dev is notoriously unpredictable and they want to be able to move things without worry if need be.

[graceful holly]

so, it's just limited until then?

[hybrid nova]

That said, it's on the list as something they're actively working on now. It'll likely be done sometime this year or early next.

[graceful holly]

I mean... that's great and all but is there no work around?

[hybrid nova]

Workaround is to make a homebrew copy and swap the spells on there. Since you don't own it, your DM will have to.

[graceful holly]

hmm...

[loud drift]

Is the character having issues assigned to the campaign the book is being shared from? Shared content is only accessible in the campaign sharing it.

[swift cosmos]

I'm using Beyond to manage my sheet for a game that isn't being run on Beyond.

The DM lets us use 2024 classes and subclasses, but we have to use 2014 spells where available.

By default, you cannot see Legacy spells with a 2024 class or subclass unless they are from an expanded book.

I have the 5.0e Core and Legacy options properly selected on character setup.

I tried to get around this by copying my subclass (Circle of Stars) and adding Legacy Druid to its spell list.

This works, but now all my 2024 spells show up twice in the preparation selector.

Functionally this is fine but it's extremely annoying. Is there anything I can do? We can still use some 2024 spells so I don't want to just hide them all

[hybrid nova]

Unfortunately you're playing in an incredibly non-standard manner. I wouldn't expect Beyond to accomodate that. What you've settled on is essentially your best bet.

For reference, the expected use case is that if you're using '24 rules, you use '24 classes, subclasses, Feats, and spells except where they weren't updated yet.

[swift cosmos]

The software supports it fine, it's just buggy. 2024 was advertised as backwards compatible the entire way through wasn't it?

[uneven lantern]

The alternative would take more time to set up: you could add the individual legacy spells to your subclass rather than the Cleric spell list as a whole.

[hybrid nova]

See my above comment.

[uneven lantern]

In this case, you’re kind of playing against the rules, which is why it’s not set up that way.

[hybrid nova]

They added '24 spells to '14 class spell lists because '14 classes can be played in a '24 game, but not the other way around as you're not expected to slot '24 classes into a '14 game ('24 interacts with some rules differently and references rules that either don't exist or are different in '14). Essentially, think of it like buying a new video game console. A PS2 ('24 5e) can play PS1 ('14 5e) games, but not the other way around.

[vernal fractal]

this is fixed now.

[wanton glade]

thank you!

[oak forum]

hey so just a quick question cus i cant find a forum on the site for it but will the new kobold press books be backwards compatible?

[hybrid nova]

Based on the listing in the app only showing 1 version of each subclass (they would show 2 if there was a new and legacy version of the subclass), no.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the subclasses will only work on the 5.5e classes.

And the rules at large are definitely written for 5.5e.

[hybrid nova]

Also, I believe this is a newly-released book by Kobold Press, so I doubt they'd make it for the legacy rules.

[uneven lantern]

But everything else should be usable regardless of which class version you choose.

[oak forum]

okay thanks then i know

[hybrid nova]

If you want the subclasses on base 5e classes, you can always make homebrew copies. If you're not changing anything about them it only takes 15-20 minutes each, just need to go feature-by-feature and recreate them on the other class.

Just a lot of copy/pasting and selecting the same options on the new version.

[oak forum]

just for future knowledge where do i see that is says one or two versions for me it just says 8 subclasses

[hybrid nova]

For whatever reason it appears differently if you look in the app vs on the website.

[oak forum]

ah okay i always look at the site when thinking of bying then i know thank you

[hybrid nova]

Yeah, usually the site is better, but this one thing is more detailed in the app.

[deep hound]

One of my players' tokens isn't showing their character image on the VTT maps. What can I do to fix that?

[swift cosmos]

Okay. I understand that, and I get it. But the problem isn't my access to Legacy spells. It's the duplicate entries of the 2024 spells. This happens even if I don't tell it to have 2014 Druid spell list

It's the 2024 Circle of Stars Subclass through the homebrew creator. Even if I leave it unchanged this happens

I don't encounter this on Sorcerer and Bard

It's like something is giving it the Druid 2024 tag an extra time

[hybrid nova]

I've never seen this behavior. Is it just for the subclass spells or everything?

[swift cosmos]

As far as I can tell, it is all of them except Cantrips. It does it to my Grim Hollow ones too. The need to show 2014 spells is merely the engine by which I encountered it.

I wondered if maybe the "Knows all spells" option was double populating the list but even with it off I've encountered the behavior

My general suspicion is that the base class gets tagged weirdly when you do a proverbial fork of that subclass. I haven't tested other subclasses yet though.

I'll keep trying to see if I can replicate it more.

I assumed the best approach was to find out if it was a trivial fix before I spent more hours tinkering, is all.

Thank you again for your responses.

[serene fiber]

Got a question about artificers! I want to play an artificer, but specifically the Eberron: forge of the artificer variation of one (not Tasha's one). However when I try to select the class only the Tasha's version shows up. I have access to the book through sharing (yes, it is shared in the campaign I'm making the character in) and all the sources are enabled in the character settings. What am I missing?

[uneven lantern]

Do you have 5.5e Expanded Rules enabled for that character?

[balmy belfry]

possibly the 5.5e content on page one of character builder?

[uneven lantern]

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

[serene fiber]

to the first 2 yes, need to check the other one

im assuming the person sharing the book has to verify the sync on their end

anything else I can check?

[balmy belfry]

Where are you creating the character? Just in your character builder? I cant remember for sure, but I thought shared content was only w/in the context of the campaign. So creating a character inside of the campaign you would have access, but creating it outside you may not.

[serene fiber]

im making the character already tied to the campaign

other shared sources are working

[balmy belfry]

if you want to test this, i can spin up a test campaign and share that book and see if it's specific to your campaign

just DM me if you want to try

[serene fiber]

ill wait to hear back from my own DM, see if the sync is the problem

if not ill let you know, thanks anyway!

[hybrid nova]

As someone who has made several homebrew subclasses (albeit not one with the '14 spell list added), I've never seen this happen. If it's not happening on a fresh homebrew subclass without the '14 spell list added, that's your culprit, since the spells are technically on both the '24 and '14 Druid's list. If it's happening on the one you edited even after removing the '14 spell list, it's probably a caching issue.

[swift cosmos]

Alright. Thank you, I'll continue investigating.

[hybrid nova]

The only other solution would be adding the spells individually like spam suggested.

[swift cosmos]

It's ultimately a non-issue, just a cosmetic nuissance.

[leaden trellis]

Anyone have any issues with teh Dice of Planar Summoning? I just bought them, they are available, but every time I try to roll one nothing happens. If I switch to another dice set after the attempt, nothing happens with them either until I reload the page. I've tried clearing cache and cookies and restarting Firefox. I have no extensions loaded that would interfere as I use Maps VTT exclusively for both of my campaigns.

MacOS 26.5
Firefox 151.0

I have tried with Safari (26.5). It was a bit laggy, but the dice did work. The problem appears to be isolated to FF, but that's where both of my campaigns are run from. Not sure where to go from here.

[dire blade]

Do you have any extensions at all installed?

[uneven lantern]

☝️ Have you tried it in Firefox’s Troubleshoot Mode?

[leaden trellis]

I have AdBlocker Ultimate and Facebook Container extensions loaded. Disabling AdBlocker for the site does allow that dice set to roll. I've been running that extension the entire 1.5 years I've been using DDB w/o any issues. Very odd that ONE specific dice set has a problem with it.

[charred veldt]

Hey guys. Probs wanna fix this

[dire blade]

This is because the type of javascript utilized by the site is likely getting blocked or interfered with by the extension. It's fairly common for the more complex GPU-centric dice sets.

[vernal fractal]

Can you open up the javascript console and then:

1. Select a non-Planar Summoning dice set.
2. Refresh.
3. Roll. Does it work?
4. Select Planar Summoning, do not refresh.
5. Roll again. Does it work?

and then also let me know if there's anything in the console logs?

[leaden trellis]

I'd be happy to, but I'm not familiar with the javascript console.

After selecting Planar Summoning with the AdBlocker extension re-enabled I see the following in the console logs:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://media.dndbeyond.com/dice/bundles/planar/images/AD_Base_color.png. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

It stays until the page is reloaded.

Diabling AdBlocker for the site reloads the page. Selecting Planar Summoning shows these new entries in the console log:

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The buffer passed to decodeAudioData contains invalid content which cannot be decoded successfully. 0aryl7g6lazrz.js:1:1750
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The buffer passed to decodeAudioData contains invalid content which cannot be decoded successfully. 0aryl7g6lazrz.js:1:1750

But the dice do roll then. The console log results are:

[vernal fractal]

Thank you! This seems... Odd. It's not a super high priority at the moment, but we weren't aware adblockers could cause these problems so that's very good to know.

[leaden trellis]

I wasn’t aware either. I am more surprised than anyone methinks.

[soft ravine]

take two (i never speak here mb)
hallo im new to making homebrew races and was messing around w modifying humans, n accidentally somehow made it so that the character would be proficient in every skill? Somehow??? is this a common issue because I cannot figure out where I made the mistake since ever added feat is just a written description but I don't want to have to redo it all

[dire blade]

It's not something that commonly happens, but it certainly can happen. Can you post screenshots of your species' modifiers?

[soft ravine]

Right as I checked on a new device its working?? Mightve been a visual bug, my apologies Wasnt working for the past hour on pc but aight we ball

[dire blade]

No worries. Glad it’s working!

What likely happened is that it was broken, you checked it, you fixed it, and it just hadn’t updated the cache yet so was still seeming broken until you checked back later.

[amber hazel]

Where did my game log go?

It's not just on maps it seems

[honest otter]

Are the drops supposed to be on the app?

[loud drift]

Eventually, but there's been a bug they're trying to fix before they can get them there.

[stark remnant]

Does anyone know how I add my own maps to beyond?

I have googled the process which doesnt even match the sight. the only thing called collections is categorized subclasses to custom npcs but nothing about maps

[loud drift]

If you're a master tier subscriber then you'd upload them through the map browser inside Maps VTT

[stark remnant]

I am trying to love beyond but it is so much less intuitive than roll20'

I am subbed and I only see options for premade maps

nvm

uploaded maps

They use vtt but dont support vtt?

is there a chat?

something I can copy and past the script into?

How do I macro without a chat bar of any kind

[vernal fractal]

Maps does not support dynamic lighting, which as far as I understand, is most of what's in a dd2vtt file.

[vernal fractal]

We do not support macros - our product philosophy for Maps is "Honda Accord, not F16." Macros are extremely powerful, which adds a ton of value for a subset of players... but adds a tremendous amount of complexity and confusion for a lot of others.

[cobalt shoal]

Are there options to change your language on D&D beyond? (Not using the browser built in translate because it often makes mistakes)

And... If not, is there any character making site that helps with making character scheets in Polish?

[wanton glade]

I do appreciate this approach, honestly. It's been seamless for me being able to use this online and in person

[dapper gazelle]

The Honda Accord philosophy is part of this. In essence, DDB Maps is not trying to compete with R20. It is more an alternative for people who don't need all the fancy toys and want to play on "all the platforms" instead of just specific ones.

For people that want the toys, those other choices will always make more sense.

[dire blade]

I get both sides here for sure. It would be nice to get Roll20-levels of functionality and not have to buy the material on both platforms to play. Fortunately, my current approach is to download player maps and art assets from DNDBeyond and upload them to Roll20 so I can use their map/reveal systems, but it's cludgey and I wish I could just use Maps VTT for everything.

I do at least run one-shots and shorter-form campaigns in Maps, though. It's good for that.

[hybrid nova]

Once I swapped to Foundry I never looked back.

It even has an importer from Beyond through a module you can get, works really well.

Roll20 was always iffy before, and if you were a cleric or druid your sheet would take forever to open after level 5 or so.

Also, no subscription required is a huge boon.

[dire blade]

Without derailing the channel, I've tried Foundry so many times and it's like the Linux of VTTs. Once you figure it out and get it set up the way you want to I'm sure it's great, but I've never gotten there no matter how much I try and Roll20 ends up being just so much easier to make do what I want.

[hybrid nova]

Fair enough! I'l just end on saying if you haven't tried it in a while it's gotten a lot more "out of the box" friendly in the past year or so since the 5e system got official support. But it does need a bit more tinkering than Roll20, that is true. Happy gaming wherever you do it!

[dire blade]

While this is technically true, unless you self-host somehow then you're paying Forge VTT's subscription which is comparable to Roll20's. Anyway, I'll cut it here to avoid further derailing haha.

[charred veldt]

Hey just wondering if you guys could point me to a place to ask for “Cthulu by Torchlight” to be made into a hardcover book?

[scenic sonnet]

Does anyone know the difference between
Display scene and Spectator view ?
I would normally use spectator view to cast the map to a tv during my home games.

[loud drift]

You'd have to reach out to Chaosium

[vernal fractal]

We simplified the whole start/stop/resume/pause session thing into just "show scene" and "hide scene"

Spectator mode is still the same - that's what you'd cast

[livid bough]

I find maps much more intuitive then Roll20 so that might be a person by person thing.

[uneven lantern]

Stealth bonus fixed!

[uneven lantern]

Fixed!

ty spamandtuna

[wet kraken]

Hello all ! About the dnd drops / how do we get access to it ?

[dense viper]

Its a subscriber perk.
#dnd-announcements message

[wet kraken]

OK I ll check which tier is needed

Actually i am a subscriber but i dont have access

maybe I need to ask support somewhere

I am master tier

but can't click on the encounters... myabe something I need to claim somewhere ?

[loud drift]

The encounters will only show up in Maps VTT

[wet kraken]

OK thks for the tip

[loud drift]

You'd click on where it says Subscription Maps, and then the first section under that is Drop-In Maps where you'll find the weekly encounters.

[vernal fractal]

(bringing this usability feedback to the team)

ty @wet kraken

[wet kraken]

yes would be more user friendly if clickable directly from the main

but I ll check inside the vtt for now no pb

[wet kraken]

sorry for the very nooby question... but once in VTT is there a way to see the stat blocks or info about the encounter ?

not used to this vtt yet

ok I think I found it

need to click on each icon to get the stat block right ?

[dense viper]

There is more then one way to see a monsters stat block in the vtt.

One way is to click on the token then click on the symbol circled in red in this screenshot

[wet kraken]

yeah found this one nice thks

and is there any lore / details / scenario / context on the encounter or not at all ?

and it's up to the dm to drop it in the campaign

[loud drift]

If they're grouped, such as launching as a quick play map, that icon won't be present and you'll have to ungroup them first... I just found out

So far they have not provided any actual write ups for the encounters, but they have seen the request and said they would try to figure something out for future releases

[wet kraken]

ok fair point

it's already nice like that but a bit of flavor text / context for set up could be even better

loot

or other stuff

[loud drift]

As it stands Maps VTT doesn't have an easy way within itself for them to put story/lore/whatever, but that will hopefully be a temporary problem

[dense viper]

Most monsters built using the 2024 stat blocks will list the gear they are carrying

[hybrid nova]

I think they meant like, "Jim the bandit is guarding the treasure room, which contains 100 gp and his mother's Wand of Fireballs."

[vernal fractal]

We're working on some ways to provide exactly the sort of companion-content you're looking for. We didn't want to wait for those features to be ready, because we've found there's still value in "here's a pre-set up bandit ambush." But absolutely heard, and it's on the way. 🙂

Hey, so how can we get some attention on a very very old problem on the DDB site:

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/108539-portraits-not-loading

[heady jackal]

Hey yall, Im sure this is a FAQ but I havent really found the answer online. Im trying to make a custom warlock subclass but am running into the error message about subclass features:

I followed the exact framwork from the fiend preset to make things a little easier but it still just wasnt cooperating

[solemn anchor]

Not sure if this is where I should ask for help:
I can no longer log into dndbeyond on my PC any time I click "Sign In" i get a 403 message, before the same thing happened when trying to enter forums on the same device. My phone works perfectly fine when trying to do the same. Any ideas?

[loud drift]

If the phone can access it and log in but the computer can't then that suggests a problem with the computer. What browser are you using on the computer?

[dapper gazelle]

Also, if you can temporarily disable plugins or extensions to test, both blockers and third party add-ons for DDB, as both types are known to cause problems. You can always reactivate them after the test.

[cursive mauve]

Nothing to be done, it seems to be broken for now, i been trying for 2 weeks now and same problem. And there is reports on the forum of people trying for a month with the same problem. We have to wait untill they fix it.

I have not been able to use the quick lookup feature in my phone for a long time…the dark text on dark background…is not helpful. Any idea what setting I can alter to fix this? (Also this should not happen…maybe prevent it?)

Hey, I upgraded to Master to share my content/books. How long does it usually take for the upgrade to take place? Currently still sitting on the Campaign Page that says "Upgrade to share your incredible content." Now, it was only about 15 minutes ago.

[edgy oriole]

10 - 15 minutes sometimes due to server caching

You could try clearing your browser cache and restarting your browser and see if things have cleared up

Also check that your entitlements are in sync

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[south arch]

why are my players able to have the of choice of healing all of their hit die upon finishing a long rest, instead of RAw where it is half of their hit die. Am I getting the rule wrong or is this a TCE type of rule.

ah right its 5.5e

[lean sluice]

I'm trying to get Mirror Spell through Magical Secrets on a Lore Bard at level 6 - it's shared in the campaign link I'm in (it's how I found it). But I can't see/select the spell from the dropdown list. I also can't read the source book although it's been shared with me as the link DM and someone with the DM sub. Why?

[uneven lantern]

Are your entitlements in sync?

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

[uneven lantern]

Is this character assigned to that campaign?

Do you have Grim Hollow enabled for that character?

[oak forum]

hey i'm making a background but when i open it on my character sheet it doesn't give the right information it just says this instead of all of the information what have it done wrong?

and this is how it looks when i dont click anything

nvm i found it

[lean sluice]

@uneven lantern yes to all of your questions

Entitlements shows it's all synced up, the character is assigned to me and partnered content grim hollow is enabled on the sheet

I even tried turning on 5.5E which shouldn't make a difference (and it didn't)

Unless it's some new stuff of now being able to share unless I own it (rather than someone else in the link), this makes no sense that it doesn't show

Unless Magical Secrets isn't set up to show Partnered Content spells

[dapper gazelle]

Just want to verify here as you said yes to all the questions in response but then in the specifics here, you did not list that this specific character is in the campaign in which the content is being shared.

This is quite important as shared content that you can otherwise access will not appear unless the specific character is in the specific campaign where the content is being shared with you.

[hybrid nova]

It is in the general sense, but I think it requires manual intervention by the devs to get them to show up in the list. So particularly in the time shortly after a new 3rd party book release sometimes it's not in the list when it's meant to be.

Calling it out here should be enough to get attention on it.

[lean sluice]

Because I mentioned it even before the questions were asked in my original post ...

[lean sluice]

What's the estimated wait time? The mentioned Grim Hollow content has been out for years, so this is a bit odd that it's not in there already.

Also what about me being able to access the shared source books as the DM of the link, if my players own it?

[dire blade]

Small fixes are triaged, but usually get done in 1-2 weeks.

[hybrid nova]

There's no specific wait time, and it's possible that it slipped through the cracks and needs to be called to to get addressed (they're usually pretty good about getting to those once someone sees an issue). As for shared source books, as long as someone in the campaign has Master Tier, you should be able to see the books.

[lean sluice]

As mentioned in the original post, I have the DM sub/master tier and the content is shared by my players

[teal cedar]

hi uhm, how do i use the look for DM?

[dense viper]

The instructions for how to use the looking for channels are over in #find-a-game

Hello - is there any plan to add the option to print to the 2024 character sheet format in DDB?

[outer gazelle]

Hi I'm new to the game and would like to buy the dm guide, I know dndbeyond only does english for the digital content but is there a way to buy the virtual+physical bundle with english for virtual and another language for the physical?

[lean sluice]

Still waiting for an answer as to why I can't access shared content even though we have all the necessary parts of this.

[dense viper]

Is this the only campaign you are in with shared content?

[lean sluice]

no, I have 4 of them

but it clearly states on the source file 'shared with me', so the number of campaigns shouldn't make a difference, cause it's clearly in a link that counts it as shared

[dense viper]

Im thinking this may be shared with you from a different campaign.

And the dm of that campaign has set it to where you cant read that shared source

[lean sluice]

it's not, I mentioned it's clearly shared in the link that the character sheet is even in

[dense viper]

Being able to see it in the character builder doesn't mean you can read the source book.

[lean sluice]

so what's content sharing for then when you buy a source book with everything in it?

cause I'm checking all other ones eg. Wildemount and I can read the content just fine, also lised under 'shared with me'

[livid bough]

An Adventure might have player content in it that I want to share with my players for their character creation but I still dont want them to read the adventure?

[lean sluice]

I explained pretty clearly that I am the DM of the campaign, I pay for the DM sub and my players share all of the content they have between all of us. idk where all of these theoretical situations keep coming from

[dense viper]

Its called troubleshooting. But it also seems like its a problem the community cant fix so you may need to reach out to customer support.

?tag ddb support

[loud sedge]

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

[lean sluice]

it's troubleshooting when the information asked for wasn't already provided 3 times tho ...

[edgy oriole]

Yeah scrolling back through and seeing you've tried the normal troubleshooting steps, I think we'll need customer support to dig into this.

[lean sluice]

I suppose I'll send a separate ticket, I thought this channel was also for official mods to intervene

[edgy oriole]

It's community support

[livid bough]

I just tried to answer your last question. I will disengage now.

[edgy oriole]

Customer support is the formal support process

We do communicate stuff back to the devs but a formal ticket makes it much more trackable

Make sure the characters have the 5e expanded rules turned on.

And that entitlements are in sync

?tag ddb entitlements

[loud sedge]

Account Entitlements

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

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

[hybrid nova]

What do you mean by "wont let me use strahd to help customize charaters" here? Curse of Strahd is an adventure book, and doesn't have much in the way of player-facing options (I think only a single background?).

[edgy oriole]

They were confused on how to add feats/options from the adventure to character sheets. I think we got them sorted out in #dnd-newcomers.

[sacred thorn]

When I’m trying to make species traits why does it clear the fields when I hit save?

[dire blade]

You have to save the traits individually then resave the entire species. If you back out of a trait and just save the species it cancels out of the trait you were working on.

[sacred thorn]

Hit save. Now what?

The first trait I’m applying is the ASI

Which of those do I need to make this trait functional?

Modifiers?

Or options?

[sacred thorn]

Wait what? this is how shallow the selection is without buying anything?!

[dire blade]

If you have nothing purchased or shared with you then you have just the Basic Rules, yes. There are some freebies you can grab but none of them have player options afaik.

[gentle musk]

yeah... thats what I'm doing right now
I usually try to do them as an item first
that way I can just equip it when I cast the spell and get it out of my actions when I dont
I did the same with Mage armor and my wizards Bladesong
makes keeping track of things super easy

[wanton shard]

Ah, wait... But Shadow Blade doesn't add the relevant modifier... Yeah, I see now why my character added just the to-hit action

Unfortunately, I think that's the best option at the moment

[gentle musk]

what do you mean by "relevant modifier"?

[wanton shard]

STR and DEX. Shadow Blade doesn't add those to damage, because it's a magical blade

And by magical blade, I mean... Created by a spell

Or, wait... Dang, now I'm confusing myself. I don't see why it wouldn't...

[gentle musk]

it does

it acts as a normal finesse blade that you can use with either strength or dex

[wanton shard]

Yeah, that was my bad. Time for my second coffee of the day. So, right! A custom action is the best way to represent it

[gentle musk]

noooo... I know how
just pick a weapon that has a d8 base dmg XD
modify the rest

[wanton shard]

You won't be able to roll the extra damage automatically, though. Also if used in Avrae, it will pick up that attack as being the normal weapon's damage type, not psychic. Also, if you upcast Shadow Blade, you'll have to have multiple weapons, whereas you can quickly edit the custom action to have the increased number of damage dice

[gentle musk]

I planned on making a lvl-2 and a lvl-4 version
its easy to sort your inventory by adding special characters at the front and grouping them that way XD

[wanton shard]

Well, for what it's worth... Here's the base-level Shadow Blade created as a custom weapon action, compared to a regular dagger. The damage is there, it's psychic damage, and the only thing "missing" (besides the notes) is that it's technically a melee weapon with the thrown property, not ranged

[gentle musk]

thats as a custom action, right?

[wanton shard]

Correct

[gentle musk]

is there a (magical) weapon that does a base of 2d8 damage?

[wanton shard]

Unfortunately, no. Any magical weapon is automatically based on a regular, mundane weapon

[gentle musk]

on another note
is it possible to force Beyond to always roll twice for the d20?
basically a "always roll advantage"

I know that works when beyond-20 is active... but without?

[wanton shard]

Not that I'm aware of at the moment, although it may certainly be possible in the future. Given that the recent targeting update came with a way to set a default targeting setting.

[gentle musk]

what is that?

[wanton shard]

Sending rolls in the game log to be seen by certain people

[gentle musk]

is the "advantage" modifier broken?
I just added it to the item, it shows up in the description (advantage: meelee attacks)
but nothing happens

[wanton shard]

I don't believe that modifier is actually functional; it existed long before the dice roller, and is probably not set up at the moment to automate with the dice roller. In addition, it applies to all melee attacks, not just the ones made with that weapon

[modest pelican]

Modifiers are global (in that they appear regardless of what you're editing/making) but don't function in all areas

So the advantage modifier won't apply in all cases

[gentle musk]

yeah.... I wouldnt really care about that
I usually always roll twice when I do it with a program
just way quicker than having to wait for the delay and roll again
that somehow infuriates me beyond reason

[dawn egret]

you can also just... right click, advantage.

[modest pelican]

DDB has an advantage/disadvantage option in the dice roller; right click/long press and select advantage or disadvantage

[gentle musk]

I know
but its the process....
right click, select advantage, click roll

I can just do it manually at that point because the program takes longer

[modest pelican]

The advantage modifier is more for things like skills to display the green A flag or the red D flag for disadvantage

Which even then isn't automatically applied to your roll; it's an information flag, that's all

[gentle musk]

that makes sense

[wanton shard]

I don't know what the keypress is on non-Mac devices, but on a Mac you can also Ctrl+click for that menu

[gentle musk]

its not that it doesnt do it
its the extra steps that get me
I dont know why....

I just want to press one button and have it do the thing like picking up a set group of dice and rolling them all at once
I'd rather spend a few minutes setting it up than have to walk through right click menus every time

thats also why I try to get magical effects as items
I click it... and its there

---

it seems to work now... at least very close to optimal
only with beyond 20 active, but I can live with that

[modest pelican]

There is no way to configure any roll to be always at advantage/disadvantage due to the fact that would directly contradict how the rules work in a lot of scenarios
Beyond20 being an unsupported, third party extension, we can't offer any support or guarantee of intended functionality if you're using it

[gentle musk]

I did not know it was third party, but that's understandable
Is it okay to mention that on here, or is Beyond 20 a no-go topic?

[modest pelican]

Discussion of Beyond20 does not violate any server rules
However, the mod/dev team can't offer any support on it (you'd have to ask the extensions developer) and also if you're having any issues with the site, we're gonna check every time that you've got extensions such as Beyond20 disabled; they interfere the site in lots of ways, especially when a new feature such as roll targeting goes live

[gentle musk]

thats also understandable
the only issue I had with Beyond was that I got removed from all my Campaigs (twice now)
I'll see if it happens again and open a ticket if it does.....

[little plume]

So apparently other people cant view my sheet even though i have it on public?

[sacred breach]

As a DM who has already bought the books physically AND on D&D Beyond who plays digitally due to distance and COVID, what are some ways I can use the maps from a prewritten adventure such as Waterdeep Mad Mage without having to pay for them AGAIN on something like Roll20?

[prisma fulcrum]

If you have them on dndbeyond, you can download them from dndbeyond

Click on them in the book, then right-click, save as...

[sacred breach]

Yeah but how can I share them with my players in a way that lets them not see the entire map like they would be exploring the dungeon?

[solid kestrel]

snip

windows key, shift, S

[uneven lantern]

After you've downloaded the image from DDB, you should be able to upload it to Roll 20 and use it the same way, no?

Or if you were looking for alternatives to Roll 20, #dm-discussion might have some suggestions.

[modest pelican]

You will have to use a third party service such as foundry, fantasy grounds, astral, roll20 or owlbear rodeo. D&D Beyond has no native shared tabletop
Alternatively you can

• download the maps and share them over discord
• use the avrae map alias
• share your browser via discords screenshare function

[crystal scarab]

For the Avrae route, Spam is familiar with Avrae

[steel glade]

There's a great alias on the workshop (!map) that can be used too, and you can just paste map image links from the online book on DDB into it 😉 Lots of funky and effective methods are available!

[silk oxide]

where can I ask questions regarding problems with the sign up for DBB?

(the "Sign In with Google" doesnt work)

[uneven lantern]

What happens when they try to view it? Can you share a link to it here?

[modest pelican]

Here'd be the place, there are some things to check first

• disable any extensions, ad blockers, VPN or browser plugins
• if you're using chrome, ensure that third party cookies aren't being blocked (they need to be enabled/allowed)
• clear your browser cache and reload

If none of the above works, trying loading and in private/incognito window and seeing if you can log in to DDB there. If you can, this usually indicates a browser setting issue

[little plume]

https://ddb.ac/characters/50714679/sTOO0p

[crystal scarab]

Views just fine for me

[little plume]

hmmm

it might be something on their end then

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, works for me as well.

[sacred breach]

They should clear their browser cache or try in a different browser.

I also can’t get the map Alias. I can’t log into the dashboard

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you try?

[sacred breach]

0Auth Error. It’s find, I’ll find another way. But silly that D&D Beyond wouldn’t pursue this themselves to be honest but it’s okay

[uneven lantern]

The Avrae dev server might be able to help with the login error.
http://support.avrae.io/

[dull pike]

I need to talk to someone about possible termination of books I bought recently, preferably in DMs if anyone can help me.

[wet tusk]

I just homebrewed an alternate version of the Beast Master subclass for Rangers to fit my character better and it give me the option to add a creature rule which would allow me to add creatures directly to my character sheet. Now I can't find where or how to add the creature of my choosing to the character sheet. Does anyone know how to add a creature to the character sheet?

[wanton shard]

If you go to the Extras section, you'll find them there

[wet tusk]

Thank you so much.

[winged turtle]

how do i replace a weapons damage die?

on homebrew creator*

[wanton shard]

There isn't currently a way to do this. It's been requested many, many times. In the meantime, if it's for your own character, you can create a custom action on your character sheet to represent the weapon

[winged turtle]

how do i create a custom action?

or do you mean on the item?

[wanton shard]

On the character sheet itself, under the Actions box, there should be an option (on the website version, at least) to Manage Custom

Then you have the ability to enter enough information to display all sorts of cool custom stuff, like damage die size/die amount/type

[winged turtle]

gotcha

[whole wasp]

is anyone else not able to roll on your character sheet on the website?

never mind its working now

[eternal fog]

if someone, totally not me btw🤫 , was in inventory managment and double clicked remove, and cant remember what was removed, is there any way to tell what the removed item was?

[thorn sandal]

No, there isn't.

[eternal fog]

awww... dag nabit... wish ctrl z would have worked bu no go. thanks for verifying

well i found out the item between Glaive and Ink was Hammer. how would i have ever survived without out my hammer "bangy-bang-bang"

[severe slate]

hey, so my character is a variant human and im wanting to grab the HAM feat with it

but its not seeming to show up?

i have prerequisites turned off for my character, and i have the content.

the feat doesnt show up for me in asi’s either.

[uneven lantern]

Do you own that feat, or is it being shared with you?

[severe slate]

I own the phb personally

on dndbeyond

Has it had an issue being shared tho?

[uneven lantern]

Prerequisite: Proficiency with heavy armor

[severe slate]

^

[uneven lantern]

Does your character have proficiency with heavy armor?

[severe slate]

im also a fighter.

[uneven lantern]

Ah

[severe slate]

it doesnt show up even when i have prerequisites on either

[uneven lantern]

Are you able to view it here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/heavy-armor-master

[lilac dirge]

where can I find the Optional Features in the marketplace? (also sorry if I'm cutting in on someone's question)

[severe slate]

yeah im able to look at it, it just doesnt show up as an option anywhere in my sheet

[final trellis]

Can you grab the URL you have for the sheet in your browser and paste here?

[final trellis]

OCF are only available with the full purchase of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything

[severe slate]

how in the world would that do anything

i can share screenshots?

[final trellis]

So I can look at the sheet and troubleshoot?

[uneven lantern]

Sorce is a spellcaster. He can cast Detect Issue.

[severe slate]

well I figured it out

im apparently extremely stupid

i had it in my manually added feats already for some reason

must have been for a past character that shared the sheet

[uneven lantern]

Glad you got an answer, then!

[lilac dirge]

Got it, thanks!

[echo oxide]

Weirdly enough, im trying to make a bard of the Collegue of Eloquence, but the website doesnt allow me to choose it. I possess Mythics Odysseys of Theros, so i should be able to get it correct?

[dawn egret]

Turn MtG content on, and it'll be there

[echo oxide]

MtG?

wait its magic the gathring stuff?

[uneven lantern]

Everything from Theros is, yeah.

Ravnica, too.

[rain kindle]

Question. It looks like if you allow homebrew in your campaign, it allows the homebrew from all of your players as well as the GM. Is there a way to identify the source of the homebrew that we're missing or a more granular way to allow player's homebrew options?

[modest pelican]

@little plume this channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond website. You want #dm-discussion

[little plume]

Thanx
my bad

[uneven lantern]

It automatically shares anything in your My Homebrew Collection. If you remove something you created from your collection, it will no longer be shared (and you’ll be able to access that through My Homebrew Creations instead).

But there’s not currently a way to identify what homebrew belongs to who, or for the DM to control what is or isn’t shared by the players.

[grand forum]

Hey!
I wanted to ask who gets the pre-order perks if something is bought as a gift? A book I mean. Does it go to the person who paid or the person it is gifted to?

[thorn sandal]

The person it is gifted to

[grand forum]

Excellent! Thank you for the super fast answer :)

[final trellis]

(as long as they claim the gift prior to the book going live)

[grand forum]

And can one buy books without having a ddb account?

[final trellis]

No, you have to have an account to make a purchase

[grand forum]

Ah well, then I'll probably just buy it myself

Either or, feywild here I come!

[hidden aurora]

It appears that dndbeyond.com is having some problems at the moment. I can't connect...

Scrap that. It just loaded!

[wanton shard]

This is the typical maintenance period. Everything should be back within a few minutes

[hidden aurora]

Typical!! Thanks.

[hidden aurora]

Nope, it's gone again. Will try again later.

[chrome stag]

I haven't used ddb in a while and it logged me out of the app and it won't let me log back in. u then when to the website and any link bringing me to the main ddb website I keep getting "error 503". I then tried to access my characters for a link I had sent to a discord I am in. Still got "error 503" . I cannot access any of my character nor can I make a new one for the new campaign I'm in. any suggestions on how to amend this issue?

that is what the app looks like but it won't let me log in using my Google

[dawn egret]

maintance is ongoing.

[chrome stag]

oh ok. that explains it. is there an estimated time for the maintenance to be done?

[modest pelican]

The site access issues have been raised with the team as it's no longer the normal maintenance window

[old oriole]

I had a "oh crap" moment just now, dndbeyond stopped working, isitdownrightnow isn't working, speedtest.net isn't working, I thought the internet had broken from someone typing 'google' into Google.

[strange rapids]

yeah, I've got issues with dndbeyond and reddit atm as well

[somber flicker]

Bigger problem.
I imagine DDB sits with Fandom on one server.

[hidden aurora]

Blimey! Where's that from?

[chrome stag]

their all down? jeez

[strange rapids]

basic issue or something malicious?

[chrome stag]

with that many big sites I would reckon malicious I don't know though

[somber flicker]

There's always a malicious intent when a dozen of websites go down

It always makes me shiver for my passwords.

[chrome stag]

the top 6 alone being done os enough to say malicious. but thwn it just keeps going

[charred veldt]

Welp endtimes dudes

Oh sos wrong chat

[chrome stag]

haha no your still correct here

[modest pelican]

The team is aware of the on going issues that appear to extend beyond D&D Beyond at this time
We would ask that people keep this channel clear of discussion as so to facilitate the mods/staff relaying information regarding any updates
Thank you

[merry prism]

Hey folks, the team has looked into it and has confirmed that the issues are due to fastly.
As much as that's good news that it isn't a D&D Beyond fault, it means it's out of our hands and, like many other sites on the internet, we need to wait for Fastly to resolve the issue.

[dawn egret]

hi Storm!

[muted lion]

hope its fixed soon! thanks for the update.

[polar cedar]

It started working for me just now...

[modest pelican]

It's an intermittent issue with Fastly as mentioned above. As such

1. You may be able to access DDB intermittently
2. As mentioned by Stormknight, the issue is unfortunately outside of DDBs control

[somber flicker]

Hey, @modest pelican. I just was thinking - I got a player that will be undergoing eye surgery and will need to NOT look at screens, mobile and pc alike. So I was thinking of utilizing speech commands on ddb. Found your post from 2020.
Did it get implemented?

[iron wraith]

looks like its back up

[modest pelican]

It's still on-going I'm afraid. D&D Beyond is a very complex site which causes issues for screen readers and other accessibility software. It's feedback we take very seriously and I know several of the mod team have personally passed on requests for improvements

[somber flicker]

Got it, thanks!

[chrome stag]

any updates on the fastly situation?

[modest pelican]

I think services are returning to normal, but you'd probably get more accurate/up to date information directly from their own site/social media

[chrome stag]

thank you

[tacit stirrup]

hey, everyone, i have a question. with the Master Tier subscription do we have temporary access to the payed features like extra classes/subclasses/races and stuff?

[modest pelican]

Nope, subscription in-of themselves do not grant access to content

The master tier subscription only allows you to share purchased content

[tacit stirrup]

cool, thanks ^^

[uneven lantern]

You can find more info on content sharing here:
https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011257067-Campaign-Content-Sharing-and-You

[gaunt garnet]

hey everyone. quick question! do we have any eta for the june subscriber perks??

[thorn sandal]

D&D Beyond doesn't give ETAs, but we hope to get you info on those soon!

[gaunt garnet]

thank you for the quick answer. i was worried that i might have a problem and didnt find any info elsewhere. i guess i will have to wait some more 🙂

[fallen forge]

I have a question - is it possible to set ALL of your characters dice rolls to be seen by everyone in the campaign or ALL your characters dice rolls to not be seen by everyone? Can you only do it on an ability by ability basis?

[modest pelican]

You can set the default from the menu at the top of the game log

[uneven lantern]

[fallen forge]

Thank you!

oh now that i'm trying to actually take a look... how do you access he game log? LOL

[modest pelican]

From the character sheet, click the speech bubble button in the top right

[fallen forge]

thanks!

[surreal eagle]

hey guys, short question. is there a special format i have to use if i am part of a group that searches for a dm? or should i just use the looking for a dm thing but say that we are a group?

[thorn sandal]

Use the #750812887697588356 channel with the standard format, and just note in the Additional Info section how many there are in your group.

[surreal eagle]

thanks :3

[little plume]

how do i add a spell that i was given access to by my dm if i am already full on spells known?

[icy ledge]

I think the simplest way would be to make a custom feat that just adds that spell

[little plume]

Okay. My DM is gonna do that, I guess. I just didnt want to have to wait.

I will wait

Thanks

[uneven lantern]

You should have the ability to create and add that yourself if you wanted to. We can walk you through it if there’s any questions.

[warped anvil]

I'm having issues with the exported pdf it's not editable.

Am I just doing something wrong?

Tried from the app and the main site

[uneven lantern]

The PDF export was mainly designed for people who need something printed out.

I don’t think it was ever editable.

[warped anvil]

Last week it gave me a pdf that was editable and the zendesk site says it can

[uneven lantern]

It’s very possible I’m wrong, then. 😅

[warped anvil]

https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011255767-Export-Sheet

I'm reading that as you can edit it yourself as you would like before printing which I have one sheet that is from last week

Idk if it's cause I'm on tablet and phone compared to last week when my stuff crapped out

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, it doesn’t appear editable on my phone either.

I’ll check on my laptop as well once I can get to it, though.

[warped anvil]

Can I link my page to someone and have them dl it from a laptop?

[uneven lantern]

I’ll admit, I’m not super familiar with the PDF export (clearly).

But it does give you a link there. If the character is set to public, I’d imagine the PDF is probably public, too.

[warped anvil]

Would u mind seeing?

[uneven lantern]

Once I get back to my laptop, sure.

Can you share the link here?

[warped anvil]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sheet-pdfs/Zander013_51953554.pdf

I need to tweak some stuff which is why I'm even bothering. I keep a physical and digital copy so it makes the sessions easier

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, when I open it on my laptop, it's editable. On my phone, it isn't.

[warped anvil]

Would you mind pming me the one from the laptop?

If I can edit it on my tablet it will make due.

[uneven lantern]

You mean the file itself?

Sent. Hopefully that will work for you.

[faint stratus]

Me and couple a friends of mine doing dnd and new to it but we got everything down pat just can't figure out which each dice is for

[dawn egret]

that would be a #dnd-rules question, this channel is for the Beyond site.

however, literally each feature will tell you what each die is for, with the d20 being the most common thing for attacking, casting spells, making saves, etc

[faint stratus]

Ah my bad

[undone rapids]

i have a question. So one of my players uses a homebrew warlock subclass, and now after leveling up to lvl 7 the new expanded spells don't show up. The previous spells show up just fine but not the new ones. Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

By “new expanded spells”, you mean the Additional Warlock Spells optional class feature?

[crystal scarab]

I believe they mean the expanded spell list that warlock subclasses get

Such as Bane and False Life

[undone rapids]

yeah

[uneven lantern]

Yeah to who? Astral?

If so, which subclass are they using?

[uneven lantern]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/introduction#GameDice

[undone rapids]

to Astral. The thing is i made the subclass. Because i didn't find the exact one my friend wanted.

[uneven lantern]

How did you add those spells to the subclass? In the “Additional Specific Spells” box?

And when were they added?

[undone rapids]

i used the "Expanded Spell List" box under "Class Features" and worked just fine, until now.

but i can try to add them with additional specific spells

[uneven lantern]

For a warlock, Expanded Spell List should be fine.

Were the spells added there when you first created the subclass, or when your player leveled up?

Homebrew changes can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up in the character builder.

[undone rapids]

when i first created it.

so i don't see why it would work before and not now

[uneven lantern]

Yeah. This one’s a puzzler. 🤔

Which spells are missing?

[undone rapids]

Evard's Black Tentacles and Death Ward

[uneven lantern]

Both 4th level spells, as expected.

Death Ward is a Basic Rules spell, so it's not an entitlements issue...

[wanton shard]

Are you able to post both the character sheet link and the homebrew subclass link here? Even if they're not public, we might be able to get a forum mod to take a quick look

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that's about the only thing left to try, I think.

[undone rapids]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Uldin250/characters/24329822
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection?filter-author=&filter-author-previous=&filter-author-symbol=&filter-type=&filter-name=pact

[uneven lantern]

Where is your player trying to add these spells from? Directly on the character sheet or in the character editor?

[wanton shard]

The second link is only your search terms in homebrew, but if you click on the actual subclass details button and send that link, that'll be the one 🙂

[undone rapids]

whoops

https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/644570-pact-of-the-ten-thousand-souls

[wanton shard]

Hmm. I see "At Will" for all these expanded spell list spells. Is that normal, spamandtuna?

[uneven lantern]

For a warlock, using "Additional Spell List" or "Additional Specific Spells" should just add it to the class spell list for that character. The warlock still needs to choose to learn those spells, and they'd follow the regular warlock rules.

And yeah, that does not seem to be what's happening here.

Can we get a screenshot of where you added those spells?

[wanton shard]

If it helps, this is typically how a warlock expanded spell list would be set up

Or if it were an entire other class's spell list:

[undone rapids]

this is how i did it, i used Pact of the Fiend as a base

[wanton shard]

Typically the Expanded Spell List feature would be the feature description only, and would have no spells attached. You would define the additional spells in the method above, on the main subclass creation section (under "Basic Information")

[modest pelican]

@undone rapidsI've had a look, it appears you've added the spells here

When you want to add them here

[undone rapids]

aha i see

[modest pelican]

Lemme just double check that

[wanton shard]

Is there any mechanical difference to adding them there versus under Basic Information, the way I do it?

[uneven lantern]

I also don't see those two missing spells there in Davyd's screenshot, which would be the reason they're not showing at all.

[modest pelican]

Actually, the two missing spells are in the basic information section footer

[uneven lantern]

In a Warlock's case, no.
