stiff nexus
icy ledge
#

Both of those pictures are right and what they should be

#

Everything seems fine

stiff nexus
#

its +3 and then +5 not +6

#

Cha should put +3 on top of the +3 = +6

icy ledge
#

+3 from Charisma modifier then +2 from Proficiency Bonus

#

It changes it from Dexterity to Charisma

#

It's not additive

stiff nexus
#

oh cause its finesse weapon

#

+1 from Dex

#

gotcha

#

vs +0 from STR

#

Word I understand now - ty!

icy ledge
#

No problem

little plume
#

T^T i have another question,, what are these ????

unknown.png
icy ledge
#

Modifiers to your ability scores

#

Modifier changes it by a number placed in the box

edgy oriole
#

If something modifies your stats (like say a magical effect) or overrides your score (like a magical item) you can use those fields to indicate those modifications.

icy ledge
#

Score changes it to whatever you place in it

little plume
#

Do we need to adjust them ? and if yes how do we do that ???

icy ledge
#

You usually shouldn't need to touch it in the first place

edgy oriole
#

Generally you won't need to touch them

little plume
#

ohhh... Thanks !!!

icy ledge
#

It's just something that you'll use if you fight something that changes your ability scores like a Shadow

little plume
#

Ok i get it now,, himariiiii

#

why is there +2???

unknown.png
#

Im really sorry for asking a lot, im really new to dnd so i dont know exactly what im doing 16_Ganyu_cry

icy ledge
#

You add your Dexterity modifier to damage

little plume
#

Oh so its dexterity and not strength,, ok understood

icy ledge
#

It depends

#

If a weapon has the Finesse property then you can choose

#

DnD Beyond just automatically adds whichever is higher because that just makes sense, and you always add Dexterity to ranged weapons not Strength

little plume
#

Finesse property ???

icy ledge
#

Click on the weapon and it'll explain, but each weapon has some properties

#

Finesse means you choose between Dexterity or Strength, Two-Handed means you need two hands on it to attack , Versatile means you can hold it in either 1 or 2 hands for different damage, etc.

opal pelican
#

Finesse are the dexterity-ish melee weapons like rapier, dagger, shortsword, scimitar, and whip.

little plume
icy ledge
#

No problem

#

In the meantime, you can make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change the spell that way.

Oh okay thank you!

#

Ummm hi I need some help with integrate the campaign into discord the issues is that two server have a VERY different out come when we do the (!campaign (with the campaign link))
the first one which is mine have full effect of showing what kind of roll it is and what modifiers the character have with a box name

While the second one is just Roll a d20 with out the modifier or what roll it is. How do I fix this ?

modest pelican
#

The player needs to link and select their character as well for the roll to appear formatted

earnest bloom
#

I did link my character in the second campaign

#

The format still didn’t show

#

Here I make a cap scene

#

This both rolls from dnd beyond

#

That 5 is supposed to be survival check with +3

opal pelican
#

Are they just rolling a dice instead of clicking on their survival bonus?

earnest bloom
#

I click the survival bonus

opal pelican
#

You click the survival bonus for them?

earnest bloom
#

It’s my character

#

Not using other people sheet

wanton shard
#

Are you using any extensions like Beyond20 that might be interfering?

earnest bloom
#

No not to my knowledge cause the only difference is

#

This one is my campaign that I start several months ago

#

And

#

This I just help the new dm do the (!campaign) thing

wanton shard
#

Have you tried removing and re-importing the character?

earnest bloom
#

Hmmmm I’ll try that then

wanton shard
#

I've seen more than one report of this recently in #ddb-avrae-help; one appeared to be Beyond20 related (and was resolved by disabling the extension), and one did not appear to be related to that (and I don't believe there was ever a resolution for it)

earnest bloom
#

It did help huh guess it work like a battery rules XD

#

@wanton shard thanks for the help good sir

wanton shard

#

Yeah but the bot need some tuning that for sure

#

And Man dndbeyond dice roll really bad for my account lately

shell wing
#

Is there something that needs to be done to access homebrew spells from DDB on my game server?

modest pelican
#

If you're referring to via Avrae, you need to add them to scrollrack, avrae's homebrew spell management system
Avrae can't currently pull homebrew spells directly from DDB

shell wing
#

Scrollrack? Huh. Never heard of it.

uneven lantern
west harbor
#

Scrollrack?

modest pelican
#

That was a mistake on my part, I was misremembering

hybrid turret
#

Is there anyway for me to add a feat to my character sheet? Free of VH or an ASI?

uneven lantern
#

Yep! On your sheet, go to the Features & Traits tab, scroll down to Feats, and click Manage Feats.

hybrid turret
#

Sweet thanks

#

My dm is running feats a little differently, I feel like I’m gonna like the way he does them

#

You start with a feat, can’t pick feats at ASIs and if you want one you have train to get it

#

And I like that, gives people a reason to be practicing with a shield or magic and such

shell wing
#

Okay... so now that I have time to actually look at this... Concerning the Avrae Spell Management System... how do I pull a spell I created on DDB into my tome on the Spell Management system?

uneven lantern
#

Tomes are imported automatically. !tome list will show your available tomes, and you can use !tome <name> to switch between them.

#

!tome server will make your active tome available for the whole server.

#

(BTW, we’ve got a dedicated channel for Avrae support — #ddb-avrae-help)

shell wing
#

I'll move to that channel then.

lusty loom
#

Hi,I'm new to dnd and i just wantes someone to explain to me how this works

solid kestrel
#

This channel is more for help with the dndbeyond site, but DND is a TTRPG where the world is run by a DM, on the fly

west harbor
#

TTRPG = Table Top Role Playing Game

#

DM = Dungeon Master (sometimes called Game Master)

#

All games are as different as the players sitting at the table (or remotely at their keyboards).

uneven lantern
#

For more information on the game itself, I’d suggest heading over to #dnd-discussion. There’s a bunch of other helpful links pinned to the channel there.

you cant EQUIP druid staff and if i roll attack with any staff i get a text wall

modest pelican
#

Those dialogues are from Beyond20, a third party extension that isn't supported by D&D Beyond
As such, we can't help you with any issues you may be having with your sheet, as it's being modified by an app we have no control over
You'd be best off contacting the developer

uneven lantern
#

If you disable Beyond20, it should function as intended.

uneven lantern
#

But if you explain more about what you're trying to do, we can give you more specific advice.

little plume
#

I dont understand

uneven lantern
#

The first thing I'd suggest is to Edit and Save again. That will retrigger the validation process.

#

One other important thing to know is that those warning apply only if you're intending to publish this for community use.

little plume
#

ahhh gotcha

uneven lantern
#

If this is only for you or your campaign members, it will be shared with them automatically. You do not have to publish and those limitations won't apply.

little plume
#

gotcha and how to I apply this to my cleric?

uneven lantern
#

You'll have to go into the character settings and make sure Homebrew Content is turned on, then you should be able to select it just like any other subclass.

crystal scarab
uneven lantern
#

One other quick publishing note, since you said you got that from another site:

#

You're only allowed to publish your own original creations.

#

So even if those other issues were resolved, this still wouldn't be eligible to publish.

#

But again, it's totally fine for private use. 👍

little plume
#

yeah I wasn’t planning to publish it anyways just use it for my own private campagne

What browser are you using?

vestal dagger
#

Google Chome. I have a feeling the network I'm on is blocking something.

wanton shard
#

If you log into D&D Beyond in Chrome's Incognito mode, are you still getting the errors?

#

That's a quick litmus test whether it's some browser settings causing the issue

vestal dagger
#

Yes.

wanton shard
#

And no local settings (firewalls and the like) that might be interfering? Kapersky anti-virus software is a known troublemaker.

#

i have not recieved the campaign invite, not do i own the digital phb

#

nor

#

that must be it...my other one has it enabled from the campaign

wanton shard
#

The only subclasses that are available for free are those included in the Basic Rules. If you are planning to play in a campaign where someone is able to share the PHB, you'll have to join that campaign (or one with the shared content) and create the character there.

#

You can also create it yourself for free using the homebrew tools

cursive iris
#

figured. i just dont wanna have to buy another phb for digital. already have the hard copy

wanton shard
#

You can also buy individual subclasses, spells, magic items, etc. piecemeal for a fraction of the cost. And anything purchased from a sourcebook will subtract from the total cost if you decide in the future to purchase the full thing

cursive iris
#

whats the rate to buy like the rogue subclasses?

wanton shard
mossy anchor
#

I bought the Source book bundle but does that mean any of my players can read the books now? or do they only have access to better character creation while in my campaign?

#

I wasnt sure before i shelled out the dough

edgy oriole
#

As far as I know, content sharing only happens when at least one player in the campaign has a Master Tier subscription and the DM of the campaign has enabled content sharing for that campaign.

mossy anchor
#

Right but what does it share? @edgy oriole

edgy oriole
#

Whatever content has been purchased by anyone in the campaign

Hi, I just joined DDB (hero level) to use the Character Builder, because I had found that someone else had already homebrewed the race I wanted to use. I added it to my Homebrew collection, but I can't figure out how to select it as a Race in Character Builder. Am I overlooking something obvious?

edgy oriole
#

In the character settings there are a bunch of toggles to filter what content your character can pull from. Toggle on homebrew content.

fierce needle
#

Oh, interesting! I had set the toggle to allow homebrew content when I started the char, but I hadn't saved any homebrew content at that point. I had to re-access the character settings screen after getting the homebrew content to make it show up on the race selection page.

I don’t know if I should ask it here or in #moderator-support but I’m gonna ask it here as to not bother the mods, is someone allowed to post twice or more before 7 days has past between the posts if each post is a separate game in #looking-for-players, or is it just you post then for the next 7 days you can’t post again until those 7 days are over or?

Hi, just wondering. How do I check what email for DDB I've linked my Avrae to? (if possible at all)

edgy oriole
#

Are you logged in? You can go to your profile, click the My Account button and it will show you all your linked accounts to your DnDBeyond account (Google, Twitch, Apple, and Discord).

subtle field
#

Nope. I'm logged out currently, and can't recall which Gmail I've used for my DnDBeyond account

edgy oriole
#

Can you log into your gmail accounts and look back in your emails for anything from DnDBeyond?

naive lodge
#

You will need to know which account you login to D&D Beyond with.

edgy oriole
#

That's what they are having trouble with

naive lodge
#

If your account is from before April 2019 it would be a Twitch account.

subtle field

I don't believe I used a Twitch account, no. I'll try looking back through my emails though. Thanks for the suggestion 👍

I don't know if this fits here, but anyways:
Is there a way to homebrew a stackable magic item?

uneven lantern
#

What exactly are you trying to stack?

copper crest
#

I want to make a special ammunition for the sling

#

I don't need it to let me roll something, I just want to have five of them in my inventory without taking up space

uneven lantern
#

Ah, so you want to be able to adjust the quantity.

copper crest
#

Yes

uneven lantern
#

You could definitely do that directly on your sheet as a custom item.

#

Go to Inventory > Manage Inventory, and select Custom Items in the sidebar.

copper crest
#

Thank you! : D

uneven lantern
#

Or if you want an actual homebrew magic item, you can make a copy of something like Arrows, +1 and adjust it as needed.

#

Actually, there’s a Sling Bullets, +1, too.

copper crest
#

Sadly this does't seem to be possible. If I use them as a preset the program wants me to decide on a base weapon, which brings us back to the previous problem. But a custom Item will work

uneven lantern
#

Oh yeah, I see what you mean. 😕

unborn laurel
#

Can I force the unarmed fighting style on a character?

#

cause Ranger allowed it in UA but doesnt anymore

wanton shard
#

You can leave the Fighting Style blank from within the Character Builder and either create a magic item or feat that grants the same benefits as the fighting style, or else create custom actions on the character sheet that otherwise display the same information for your Unarmed Strikes (and remove the standard Unarmed Strike from being displayed as an attack)

wanton shard
#

Unfortunately, as this is homebrew, it's up to the individual author to make it usable. It appears from looking at the subclass that the 3rd level feature comes with egg options, meaning when your character chooses this subclass at level 3 in the Character Builder, there should be a Dragon Egg Bond pane with a drop-down selection box—provided the homebrew's author did not mistakenly choose the "Hide in Builder" option for this feature.

sleek ginkgo
#

rip i used to be able to select one and now i cant

steel sapphire
#

so... is anyone else having snags with adding the rolling feature to homebrew content? i've used the extension on the builder but its put the correct notes around it but then doesnt appear as it should once out of the builder 😦

wanton shard
steel sapphire
#

Each target regains hit points equal to [roll]3d6+2[/roll] . Once you use the acorn, it can't be used again until the next dawn.

#

such as the above

uneven lantern
#

At a minimum, you'd need [rollable]3d6+2;{"diceNotation":"3d6+2","rollType":"heal"}[/rollable].

steel sapphire
wanton shard
modest pelican
# steel sapphire

That's for rolling dice in forum games
That doesn't populate the dice formula needed for the game log

steel sapphire
#

ohhhhh, well from the image i've posted i thought i'd be able to add it into the homebrew content for ease of use but never mind.

uneven lantern
#

Also, I believe [rollable] only works for homebrew monsters at the moment, not magic items.

steel sapphire
#

no worries 🙂

wanton shard
#

It's been previously mentioned that they would like to support rollable buttons anywhere on the website that you'd expect to see them. Currently (as spamandtuna says), it's only available on monsters.

modest pelican
#

Yeah, the dice syntax is only for monsters and has to be entered manually as it's quite complex

uneven lantern
#

In the meantime, you can set that up as a Custom Action directly on your character sheet. Just go to Actions, hit Manage Custom in the top-right corner, and you can add it in the sidebar.

steel sapphire
#

thats fine 🙂 thankyou for the help though 🙂 i'll do it once the item is found by the character later today 🙂

quick furnace
#

How do I make a homebrew item on DND Beyond that gives all damage I deal get a +3?

uneven lantern
#

All damage from that weapon, or all damage from any source?

quick furnace
#

any source

#

(well anything requiring an attack roll but I'm not worried about that)

wanton shard
#

I don't believe there is currently a modifier that will allow for flat damage increases to all of your attacks. You can certainly customize every attack to have a Damage Bonus of +3, but will have to remember and manually track whether that changes in the future

quick furnace
#

I just don't know what modifiers do it properly

#

I don't mind adding multiple modifiers

uneven lantern
#

I'm trying to think if there's some official content that does that, but I'm coming up empty.

#

If there isn't one, it might not be possible.

quick furnace
#

it's a custom item either way. it's +3 force damage to anything you hit with

uneven lantern
#

Best guess at the moment is Type: Damage, Subtype: All, Fixed Value: 3.

#

But I'm honestly not sure if that will actually work.

#

At the very least, there's no existing magic item using that modifier.

quick furnace
#

I mean, I can always mess with what you told me and hope it works

#

it didn't seem to add the damage to eldritch blast, but it did for my dagger

uneven lantern
wanton shard
#

There is a Bonus > Eldritch Blast Damage modifier. You could combine the two

quick furnace
#

oh right

wanton shard
#

If Type: Damage, Subtype: All works for your dagger (as in, for regular weapons)

quick furnace
#

There is no all in subtype for me

#

that's what I tried first though lol

#

the cold modifier didn't affect the Tentacle either

#

I can do it all manually, it'd just be nice for it to be automatic

wanton shard
#

Ah, it's Melee Weapon Attacks? Then yeah, you'd have to mix and match various damage bonus modifiers to approximate what you want. But as with customizing the damage of all of your attacks, you'd have to stay wary about every new attack you add to your sheet, to see whether it's included in the item you set up or not

#

And if you're making this extra damage all force damage, simply adding the number bonus won't reflect that

quick furnace
#

We're using avrae for the attacks and stuff, so I can add a -d 3 everytime I attack.

#

DND Beyond doesn't have everything lol but that's okay

wanton shard
#

If Avrae is automatically tracking immunities and resistances, you'll want the extra damage to actually be force damage

uneven lantern
#

AKA -d 3[force]

quick furnace
#

I didn't know that I could do that. good to know

uneven lantern
#

There's a few other Avrae tricks that would make this easier, if you want to jump over to #ddb-avrae-help.

unborn laurel
#

Created the custom action
how do I import it into the sheet?

wanton shard
unborn laurel
#

"manage custom" click on that
create it

wanton shard
#

Then if you've created it directly on the character sheet, it should be ON the character sheet. In the Actions pane. If you want it to display as an attack, be sure to toggle on the "Display as Attack" box in the custom action

uneven lantern
#

Activation Type is another helpful field there, if you want to control which section it appears in.

#

(It'll be at the bottom under Other by default.)

Hi. If I make a homebrew spell, can I link to that spell with [spell]spellname[/spell] in a stat block or item description?

wanton shard
#

While there are unofficial workarounds for creating tooltips for homebrew spells (which are subject to break at any time if D&D Beyond changes the way tooltips work behind the secenes), the default [spell] tag will not turn your homebrew spells into tooltips as it would with official spells. The same goes for any homebrew creations

tired axle
#

Does that mean there are non-default [spell] tags?

wanton shard
#

Ah, no, sorry. Poor choice of words! I meant natively creating a spell tooltip with the [spell] tag (the default method), rather than the code-based workarounds (that aren't officially supported)

tired axle
#

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info.

uneven lantern
#

You can use a normal web link, though.

tired axle
#

How would that look?

wanton shard
#

Like a standard green link, similar to what you see when an object or feature refers to a section of a particular book

uneven lantern
#

You just copy the URL for your homebrew spell, then use this button to add it in.

unknown.png
tired axle
#

Ah ok. Totally overlooked all the editing tools 😄

#

Thanks, this should work for me.

wanton shard
#

If you view the page source of something with a tooltip, you can see the way the tags are interpreted to create the tooltip using HTML. You can emulate this yourself by finding the syntax for the homebrew thing you're trying to tooltip, then replacing the necessary bits with your homebrew version. For example, here's how heat metal looks when it gets its tooltip added via [spell]heat metal[/spell]:
<a class="tooltip-hover spell-tooltip" href="/spells/heat-metal" data-tooltip-href="/spells/2141-tooltip">heat metal</a>

The href and data-tooltip-href will need to point to your homebrew spell information, like so:
<a class="tooltip-hover spell-tooltip" href="/spells/####-homebrew-spell" data-tooltip-href="/spells/####-tooltip">homebrew spell</a>

Bear in mind that this is unsupported officially and may potentially break at any time.

#

And this is how you would enter that HTML

Screen_Shot_2021-06-24_at_7.35.13_PM.png
tired axle
#

Alright, thanks 👍

#

Hey it worked. You got a typo though: it has to be data-tooltip-href="/spells/####-tooltip
Thanks again.

#

Ah yes, my error! Good catch.

Hey all. How can I make a dragon slayer weapon automatically roll damage for dragons?

#

It does it automatically on roll20. Ive messed around with DDB for abit trying to figure it out.

edgy oriole
#

DnDBeyond has no way to know if you're targeting a dragon or not - so as of right now, you must roll that extra damage seperately.

#

What you could do is create a custom attack using your dragon slayer weapon as a model and add in that extra damage.

plain garnet
edgy oriole
#

Yeah I'm starting to think the best you can do is add a custom attack that does 3d6 slashing damage - which still means you have to hit two buttons - the Dragon Slayer weapon normal roll and damage, and then the special attack roll to do the 3d6.

warped orchid
#

I'm trying to make a homebrew weapon that can be any melee weapon. I started making it from scratch and it says I'm required to pick a weapon type. I go make a copy of the Vorpal Sword and then edit everything to the item I was making and hit save and it tells me the same thing. In the drop down menu there's no broader category to use. So how can I make something that has a varying weapon type but the builder doesn't even allow it? How is it able to be done with things like Vorpal Swords and Holy Avengers and other similar items? Any help?

#

Also still I can't get the entire language description on a background I was making. What is the character limit or is there a way around it? Anything further beyond what I have now gives me an Internal Server Error and a zombie beholder.

edgy oriole
#

Currently DnDBeyond doesn't have a way to create a weapon that is not based on the current D&D weapon types - and a single weapon type at a time at that. So you would have to make versions of your weapon for each existing weapon type to accomplish what you're asking.

humble timber
#

so, not sure if this is the place, but I'm building a paladin on the website, and would like to give him a custom oath... is there some way to do that?

edgy oriole
#

And I'm not sure what the issue is for the language text you're having issues with trexdrew.

edgy oriole
#

This will also help you see how they've build these subclasses.

humble timber
#

ok, will try

#

Once you’ve got one made, you should be able to just copy it and switch the base weapon.

Just to check: do you get the same problem in another browser, or on another device?

Hello there!
I've taken a bit of a hiatus from the ddb site for about a year now and I wanted to re-download the Theros race pack which I've bought in 2020. But all I can see is my order history and not the actual files. Any idea on how I could get access to that again?

modest pelican
#

You will have to download the Theros book on the app, which contains the race options you purchased. Although you only purchased part of the book, the app needs the whole source downloaded

Is there any way to get it on pc as a pdf?

modest pelican
#

No, D&D beyond does not provide pdfs.

The only offline content we support is the ddb app

Ah I see, sorry for being a bit thick. Is the app available on pc too or is it only a mobile thing? Also can I at least access the content from the ddb site itself?

I want to purchase volos guide to Monsters via dndbeyond app but it somehow doesnt register that i added my money on googleplay.

That would be a problem with the google play store rather than D&D Beyond

If the funds you've added to your google play account aren't registering, you'll need to contact them

Hey Can anyone help me with creating a hombrew subclass?

#

i have a lot of trouble with it

uneven lantern
#

What part specifically do you need help with?

rapid pendant
#

how about oll of it

#

but it keeps saying that this subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels" and idk what to do there

wanton shard
#

Which class are you designing for?

uneven lantern
rapid pendant
#

just an Arcane trickster for the rouge since i do not have the money for the source books

wanton shard
uneven lantern
#

A Rogue should have features at levels 3, 9, 13, and 17.

wanton shard
#

Also, once you have added every feature, be sure to click Save from the main subclass page. This forces the auto-check

rapid pendant
#

yeah i already checked the thread but it doesn`t help me

uneven lantern
#

One other important note, though:

#

Those validation warnings only apply if you're attempting to publish your homebrew for community use.

#

However, you can only publish your own original creations.

#

If you're rebuilding Arcane Trickster, it should not be published, and you can safely ignore those warnings.

rapid pendant
#

yeah no i don`t want to do that only for myself

wanton shard
#

Have you clicked Save on the subclass main page after creating your 3rd, 9th, 13th, and 17th-level features?

rapid pendant
#

and i also want to give that subclass a spellcasting abuility like the normal one

wanton shard
#

As long as you create the ability called Spellcasting, it will automatically be granted at that level

uneven lantern
#

Make sure you set these fields under Basic Information as well:

unknown.png
rapid pendant
#

or is it possible to put a spellcasting abullity on an existing Hombrew subclass

wanton shard
#

Yes, it is. Although there is no control over spellcasting table, it's automatically applied depending on the base class. As long as you fill out the information that spamandtuna screenshotted above, if you include a feature called Spellcasting, the character will have everything automatically granted according to the class spell progression table. You can also give a character Pact Magic, although I haven't experimented enough to know how it works with every class. Since I know the Profane Soul blood hunter Pact Magic progression differs from warlock

uneven lantern
#

IIRC, "Spellcasting" vs "Pact Magic" still works the same, depending on the class.

rapid pendant
#

yeah ok i don`t understand anything

#

nevermind

uneven lantern
#

ICYMI, you can also buy just that subclass instead of the whole book, if that's easier.

#

Whatever you spend gets credited toward the remaining price of the book itself, too.

#

But to get the spellcasting you need, it's just those four things:

  • Set "SPELL CASTING ABILITY" to "INT"
  • Set "CAN CAST SPELLS" to "Yes"
  • Set "KNOWS ALL SPELLS" to "No"
  • Add a Class Feature called "Spellcasting"

Whenever someone is able or not busy, could they answer a question for me? I'm new to D&D Beyond and have a Homebrew/Subscription question. kawaii_heart

wanton shard
#

Just pop the question in here, and we'll be here to help!

little plume
#

Thank you Halfwing!! So I'm helping run a FFXIV campaign and I see that I'll need Homebrew... everything! I realize though, I'll need a subscription to use other peoples Homebrews, unless I make them myself? My main concern is, how can I share Homebrews with my friends (I'll be using Avrae) if I do end up purchasing a subscription? Will they need a subscription as well? Or should I just create my own Homebrews?

uneven lantern
#

Any homebrew in your collection (whether you created it or added it through a subscription) gets shared with your campaign automatically.

#

There might be extra steps to get it all working in Avrae, though.

#

Particularly for homebrew spells, items, and monsters.

little plume
#

Omg.. thank you for this info, that helps a lot- for some reason I couldn't find a basic (any homebrew is shared with your campaign) or else I'm just silly and overlooked it!!

I'll be sure to try getting it to work with Avrae but I'm happy knowing it's added, sub or not! You have been a wonderful help!! 🙏

When I select Warlock from the 'Games Rules / Spells list one of the Spells 'Armor of Agathys' does not show on the list of spells., yet when I go an look at All spells, it does show as a 1st level spell available for Warlock. It just doesnt show when using the Warlock as a Filter.

They're ordered first by spell level, and then alphabetically.

NvM, found it now

wanton shard
#

This isn't currently supported in the homebrew modifiers. The best way to give this to your players would be to have them track it manually

#

This has come up a bunch in my experience. There's nothing official that grants a flat HP bonus, and so no such modifier exists. The closest thing is something like the Tough feat, but that is tied to extra HP per character level, not just a flat bonus

uneven lantern
#

That said, I suspect they’ll need to add one for the upcoming Boon support.

#

Whether or not that would also work with items remains to be seen.

wanton shard
#

If it's part of the larger Generic/Universal Features System, hopefully it would! 🤞

wanton shard
#

There is a new system in development that aims to make the creation of new material much easier on D&D Beyond, for both the DDB team and by extension the users that create homebrew. Regardless, no current modifier exists to grant this type of HP bonus

Is there a RAW item that just gives +1 to all damage rolls?
Not a weapon, but an item that affects your damage

I don't think so

espacially not both melee and spellcasting damage rolls

you can use +1 weapons and wand of the war mage as magical alternative

Have they properly linked Discord to their account, and are they using any addons in the browser, notably ones that link to VTTs, as they do break the website and will need to be disabled to function properly.

Yes, I'm seeing the character just fine as well. If it's only certain players that are seeing this error, I'd recommend having them try disabling any browser extensions that may be interfering (Beyond20, AboveVTT, any VPNs or ad-blockers) and trying again. Also trying in a different browser or in an Incognito browsing window (that they've logged into DDB with).

This is what my friends see

What about those who don’t have a ddb account - the sheets were visible for them up until just recently.

Hmm. Let me see if I can find an answer for you about whether this has changed recently... In the meantime, are they able to view the link if you send the regular character sheet URL, and not the shareable link generated from the side menu?

It's difficult trying to nail down this stuff when performing tech support while so removed. Especially since I can't reproduce the issue myself! I'm logged in and can see the character sheet, but viewing it while logged out makes it so I can't

That's the only difference I'm able to spot

We just finished the lighthouse mission in acquisitions incorporated, and there's an axiomatic weapon reward.

So can anyone help me get around the dnd beyond way of the kensei

wanton shard

What do you mean by "get around"? Are you trying to use it correctly? Homebrew it yourself?

stiff portal
#

So I was wondering why out of all the ranged wapones you cant chose a gun

#

And if there's a way to get around it

wanton shard
#

Firearms are kind of their own special separate category. You should be able to either make a homebrew copy of the subclass and add the firearms to the feature (I think, I haven't tried this myself), or else customize the attacks (either the weapon itself or by creating custom actions on the character sheet) to represent what you'd get from making them a kensei weapon.

stiff portal
#

I see

#

I can barely do basic home brew like at all

wanton shard
#

It looks like there's no way to homebrew the firearms in. The best course is probably to just leave the ranged weapon choice unselected, manually add firearm proficiency (since you'd gain proficiency with the type of firearm you chose as a kensei weapon), and otherwise customize the action if required.

For hexblade specifically, you can click on the weapon and open the Customize menu in the sidebar. There will be an option to mark it as your hex weapon, which will automatically use your CHA.

#

Alternatively, you can use the same menu to manually adjust the To Hit and Damage bonuses as needed.

Do you mean a dragonborn?

not dragon-born or folk, I mean like fing dragon

thorn sandal
#

That's not possible within the official 5e rules, so there is no way to do it on DDB. If you wish, you may try to use DDB's homebrew tools to do it, though I think it unlikely that a DM would allow that, so be sure to check with them first.

clear bison
#

oh

#

I just want to be a dragon

solid kestrel
#

your best bet is Dragonborn Sorcerer: Draconic Bloodline

uneven lantern
#

You could potentially use Custom Lineage with one of the Draconic Options UA feats to make a dragon character.

#

But there’s not an official dragon race. Dragonborn or kobolds are as close as it gets.

clear bison
#

oh

#

😦

But again, you can use the homebrew tools to build any race you want.

If you want it displayed with and without that bonus, you can add a second crossbow with those same customizations, then also change its name and set the weight to zero.

vagrant cape
#

can someone help me with my movement stat. as a barbarian i should have a lot more but umm its 20 ft right now

wanton shard
#

Can you post a link to your character sheet?

#

There are a few reasons why this might be the case. Most likely visible when you click on the character's speed and see more detail

vagrant cape
wanton shard
#

You are heavily encumbered. Carrying too much weight

vagrant cape
#

oh i see

green gulch
wanton shard
# vagrant cape oh i see

Variant: Encumbrance
The rules for lifting and carrying are intentionally simple. Here is a variant if you are looking for more detailed rules for determining how a character is hindered by the weight of equipment. When you use this variant, ignore the Strength column of the Armor table.

If you carry weight in excess of 5 times your Strength score, you are encumbered, which means your speed drops by 10 feet.

If you carry weight in excess of 10 times your Strength score, up to your maximum carrying capacity, you are instead heavily encumbered, which means your speed drops by 20 feet and you have disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws that use Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/using-ability-scores#LiftingandCarrying

If your DM isn't using this rule, you can turn it off in the character preferences

#

I see a fair bit of that comes from 2 chests, and an abundance of rations and torches. If you have any sort of cart or pack animals that can share the burden, you can also override the weight of any objects you're not actively carrying to 0

Remember that D&D Beyond didn't launch with homebrew support, so a lot of stuff was hard coded (rather then form based) because there was no logical reason at the time to make it form based

Check out that video. I think you’ll find it enlightening.

modest pelican
#

Going through the entire system and changing every single hard coded feature into a form would likely be a bigger undertaking than anything previously done

The video @uneven lantern linked is the most recent information on the homebrew tools

modest pelican

It covers as much specificity as can be provided at this time

umbral anvil

D&D Beyond doesn't provide timelines, especially for such a vague period as 'near future'

what do they provide then?

# little plume didnt work :(

There currently is no way to give a flat HP bonus through modifiers, unfortunately. That will likely be coming with the upcoming generic features system

#

In the meantime, you can add 40 hit points either through manual override (be sure to uncheck "reset max HP" whenever taking a long rest), or else by turning on manual HP and adding the 40 extra HP from the character builder HP management

uneven lantern
#

It’s for items that restore hit points.

#

However, official support for boons is currently in progress, so that should all be working as expected later this year.

okay guys. desperate for some help here. Im trying to get a custom attack sorted out, and on my character sheet, the value isnt updating. I have two attacks and one displays the proper to hit value and the other doesnt. both are configured exactly the same way in the Actions setup menu and im poulling my hair out. can anyone offer some advice/tips?

wanton shard
#

These are both actions that have been set up directly on the character sheet through "Manage Custom" from the Actions pane?

vital jackal
#

i am currently using the homebrew building a subclass, and i have a character set up to look at the live changes with.

wanton shard
#

Ah, good. Not good, but I have an answer! Homebrew edits can often take 15-20 minutes to update on character sheets, due to caching. Which means it can be time-consuming editing a single action and waiting for the changes to populate. You might move onto another subclass feature in the meantime, if you have more!

#

It also helps sometimes if you've waited the 15-20 minutes to bump the character level up and back down, to force a new fetch

vital jackal
#

Well thats better than learning its not working due to a glitch. Thank you. Trying to put in my custom gunslinger and making it work with this stuff is honestly a bit infuriating (but satisfying when i get it working)

I know what you mean, about the satisfaction of getting something properly set up! 🙂

vital jackal

and just like that, its updated to the new value.... thank you for that info on caching as i had assumed it was live haha

#

I have adblock but it's paused in DnDBeyond, so it shouldn't be a problem

It's best to disable that and try again. As a third-party solution that isn't officially supported, it has the possibility of causing abnormal website functionality

Okay. I have another question. I am trying to add a +1 to damage rolls with ranged weapons. I have this set as piercing in the modifier tab in homebrew, but it does not seem to add the modifier when i roll with a custom or vanilla weapon that does piercing damage. The bonus that I have applies as it should, but not the extra damage

uneven lantern
#

What kind of homebrew is this? And what modifier did you use?

vital jackal
#

a custom gunslinger, and i have it set as Damage>Piercing>+1

uneven lantern
#

So a subclass, then?

#

I can at least confirm that Damage - Piercing won’t do the trick.

If you can find some official content that has that effect, you can make a homebrew copy of it to see how it works.

#

The Archery fighting style only applies to the attack roll, not damage. Bracers of archery only boost the damage of longbows and shortbows specifically…

vital jackal
#

@uneven lantern (sorry if im not supposed to @ you but i went to eat dinner) i have tried adding the Bonus: Magic +1 to it and will see how that works, its the same thing added to the ammo+1. If that doesnt work i'll keep trying to find something

uneven lantern
#

That one’s for magic weapons, and adds the Fixed Value to both the attack and damage rolls for that weapon.

vital jackal
#

it also doesnt seem to work for custom stuff added in as well. so back to the drawing board again haha

#

it works for my dagger, not my custom added revolver

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, not every modifier works in every scenario.

#

By and large, the system was designed to support the official rules, so each one usually has a specific use case.

#

And it’s often a matter of figuring out which ones tie to which rules, then working backward from there.

vital jackal
#

well.. a strange work around could be to create the revolver as a type of homebrewed shortbow, set those values accordingly, and then rename everything

uneven lantern
#

That could actually work, yeah.

#

Or if this is for private use anyway, you can just manually add those bonuses to your revolver right on the character sheet.

vital jackal
#

it is for private, and i try adding that to the revolver, but it doesnt seem to take. Am i right in trying to add it to the Fixed Value beside the 1D8 attack blocks?

uneven lantern
#

No, for the homebrew you’d just put the text description. No modifier at all.

vital jackal
#

and just add it manually?

uneven lantern
#

Then add a revolver to your character sheet, click on it, and open the Customize section in the sidebar.

vital jackal
#

oh i see what youre saying

uneven lantern
#

You can manually add weapon bonuses there.

vital jackal
#

i think i see what youre saying

#

i think i got it! thanks man. appreciate it loads

lilac dirge
#

is there a way to grant extra range on weapons via feats?

uneven lantern
#

If you’re adding a set number of feet, like a bugbear:
Modifier Type: Bonus
Modifier Subtype: Melee Reach
Fixed Value: 5 (or any other number of feet)

#

If you want it to scale, kind of like spell sniper:
Modifier Type: Bonus
Modifier Subtype: Weapon Attack Range Multiplier
Fixed Value: 2 (if you want to double the normal range)

lilac dirge
#

reliable as always, thanks!!

#

Hey there fellas

#

Was wondering about something

#

So

#

I got the Samurai subclass

dawn egret
#

just say it all in one message, don't flood the chat with sentence fragments.

#

....but continue.

kind verge
#

Ah my bad. Anyhoo, for the Samurai's level 3 bonus proficiency, I chose Persuasion. But before chosing it, my modifier was +3 as I had 16 CHA. After obtaining the bonus proficiency and chosing it for Persuasion, shouldn't the modifier be +6?

#

Level 6 by the way

dawn egret
#

...hm... standby, lemme check a thing

solid kestrel
#

what is it now?

kind verge
#

It's still +3

solid kestrel
#

you're levle 3 tho, rn?

#

hmm

dawn egret
#

no, he's level 6. he multiclassed.

solid kestrel
#

ah

#

ahhhhh

#

this is odd

kind verge
#

Actually, I didn't multiclass. I'm Fighter/Samurai

solid kestrel
#

Fighter, Samurai

dawn egret
#

...regardless, post a link to your character sheet and let me take a look. I may not be a mod, but long as it's public, I should be able to see the numbers.

kind verge
#

Gotcha

dawn egret
#

...why is that number blue...

kind verge
#

Which number?

final trellis
kind verge
#

I see

dawn egret
#

I was literally about to ask if there was an override somewhere.

kind verge
#

What do I do to fix that

dawn egret
#

click on the Persuasion skill. unless Sorce wants to take over

final trellis
#

What Neut said!

kind verge
#

And do I reset the override to 0?

dawn egret
#

no, reset it to nothing

#

just empty the field.

solid kestrel
#

you overrode it, so just, erase the override

#

currently you're locking it to be +3 no matter what

#

so you just wanna remove the thing saying it's only +3

kind verge
#

I see

#

Is it still blue

#

I can't tell

modest pelican
#

You might want to refresh, it's not displaying as blue when I load the sheet

kind verge
#

Yeah I think it's fixed now

#

Yep, it's fixed

Hmmm, aight

opal pelican
#

It shows my skill proficiencies now and Land Vehicles, but still not Sea/Air Vehicles 🤔

merry prism
#

Sea/Air Vehicles isn't a proficiency that exists in D&D.
We added it accidentally, due to a mistaken reference to it in one of the Eberron books, but have since removed it almost everywhere.
Unfortunately it still pops up here and there, as fully removing it would break some existing homebrew.

dawn egret
#

so you're telling me that House Agent Lyrandar is meant to be Sea and Air Vehicle proficiencies, not Sea/Air as one?

#

also hi Stormy.

merry prism
#

There are two vehicle proficiencies:

  • Land Vehicles
  • Water Vehicles
    I can't speak on behalf of Wizards of the Coast. If they issue an errata for that, we'll change it up. I do know that we're told Sea/Air is not a valid proficiency.
#

and hi 🙂

plush glen
#

Aberrant Mind Sorcerer can change one of their Psionic spells with another from a different class. Is there a way to do this in DDB?

solid kestrel
#

Homebrew the subclass.

modest pelican
#

Yeah, currently that option isn't natively supported

plush glen
#

I have the subclass as I own Tasha's

#

Ok no worries

modest pelican
#

The current best workaround is to copy the subclass as homebrew and edit the spells

plush glen
#

Gotcha, thanks

modest pelican
#

But the team is aware of the need for a native solution

faint bough
#

is it just me or is the DnD beyond page down? i can't get access to my characters.

wanton shard
#

I'm having no trouble personally, at the moment. Are you logged in? Interfering extensions (Beyond20, AboveVTT) disabled?

faint bough
#

Yes i'm logged in, and none of those enabled... 😦

wanton shard
#

And are you navigating to the characters from Collections > My Characters and clicking on the character? What sort of error are you getting?

faint bough
#

Yes, but once i click My characters it shows a clean page with Create a characterand even that doesn't work

wanton shard
#

I'm not sure why Create a Character wouldn't be working... But have you by chance accidentally logged in with a different method? It may be very likely, given that your characters section is completely blank... If you've purchased anything in the past, and you go to your Account page, does it show your past purchases?

faint bough
#

Yes i can see my past purchases, my annual plan, and all the sources i bought

wanton shard

Do you have any other extensions or software that may be interfering? Ad-blockers, VPNs, or the like? Have you tried logging in using a different browser, or an Incognito browser session?

I’m trying to alter the profane soul blood hinter subclass by changing the int spell casting modifier to charisma but now it says I can’t learn any spells

fringe silo
#

So for the encounter builder, is there a plan for it to have 'macros' like the character sheets where you can click on something and it will roll stuff for you?

solid kestrel
#

combat tracker

fringe silo
#

ohhh I see, dang you need a sub for that, is that just in Alpha?

modest pelican
#

The combat tracker is in alpha, so it's subscribers only
However, you can roll for monsters from the encounter builder and (if you've selected a campaign to build the encounter against) they'll appear in the game log

fringe silo
#

I see, thank you!

fringe silo
modest pelican
#

Lemme check something quick

#

My apologies, I just checked the update notes and that feature is currently in alpha, even in the (in beta) encounter builder

#

Sorry for giving you the wrong info

fringe silo
#

oh ok

#

no worries!

uneven lantern
#

Once it moves into beta, it will be available for everyone.

mild vector
#

assuming I've already considered the balance implications around this: is there a way for a magic weapon to grant expanded crit range within the DDB homebrew system? I totally understand that I can just put it in the description, but is there a way to make rolls reflect this?

uneven lantern
#

There is not yet a way for digital dice rolls to automatically account for expanded crit ranges.

#

But you can manually roll a crit if you right click or long press on the damage box.

mild vector
#

thanks!

half oak
#

I'm creating a custom magic item. The item allows the character to make one extra attack whenever they take the attack action on their turn (so a level 5 fighter with the item can make 3 attacks with their action instead of the typical 2)
Is there a way to include this modifier in DnDBeyond's homebrew creator? There's a similar effect in official DnD content, so I was hoping there would be something, but I can't find it.

uneven lantern
#

There is a modifier, but I’m not sure whether it will work for your case.

#

Type: Bonus
Subtype: Extra Attacks
Fixed Value: 2

#

That will allow whoever equips it to make two extra attacks (for a total of three).

#

But I think if there’s more than one of that modifier (like with a fighter), the system probably just takes the biggest number.

#

They wouldn’t stack.

hybrid turret
#

is death saving throw proficiency not on the list of available things to add to homebrew races?

naive lodge
#

I don't know which official race has that, but presuming one does I'd look at it to see how it was done.

torpid halo
#

so how do you use your dice on the mobile version

#

also my character is in a campaign but I cant see the log

#

on mobile only

#

regular web version is fine

uneven lantern
#

Sounds like you might need to turn on dice rolling first. Open up your character sheet, tap on the character portrait, and select My Dice from the menu. Make sure “Enable Dice” is turned on.

digital wolf
#

level 11 or so, I think?

#

Hai! I’m new here and wanted to ask a question about dnd beyond: if i get a subscription then it means i still have to buy sourcebooks individually because i’m assuming there aren’t any for free with the subscription?

digital wolf
#

ah, level 14 - Diamond Soul: https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/monk#DiamondSoul-241

Beginning at 14th level, your mastery of ki grants you proficiency in all saving throws.

Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 ki point to reroll it and take the second result.

Oh cool!

#

If i lose my subscription what happens to the characters i have and campaigns (over 6)?

dawn egret
#

you choose 6 to keep unlocked, the others will lock until you either go under 6, or resubscribe.

little plume
#

So if someone made like 100 characters, then they have to delete all of them until they get 6?

dawn egret
#

If they do not resubscribe, yes.

#

but if you know that you aren't going to resubscribe any time soon, you can export all of the characters to PDFs first, for easier reference should you choose to reopen some character slots.

modest pelican
#

When your subscription ends, all of your characters will be locked (not deleted)
You will be then given 6 unlock credits so you can keep access to 6 of your characters
The rest of your characters will be locked and inaccessible
If you resubscribed, all your characters will be unlocked

Hmm. Let me check on a Light cleric, it's possible that feature is accidentally hidden. Do you see anything in the Features & Traits section of the character sheet?

No, but I'll send a screenshot of it too

wanton shard
#

I know the Twilight cleric has domain spells listed, because that's the character I just pulled up

Yes, interesting, it looks as though many of the older cleric domains don't list the Domain Spells as a feature in the builder or sheet. I'll pass this along 🙂

Drow Weapon Training racial feature doesn’t appear in the character builder when you pick Drow

The list cuts off at Drow Magic, and you can swap out the Weapon Training just fine with TCoE Customize Your Origin option, but it doesn’t show up as a base feature listed on the character builder.

Thanks for the report! I'll pass that along.

Is anyone else having issues with character portraits not showing up on the sheets?

#

I see my character's portrait in my character list, but not on the sheet. And no portrait is showing up for other character sheets.

#

Others can see theirs, however.

#

The above is the campaign list from the character sheet.

wanton shard
#

There's always a chance that this is a result of some interference by an extension (Beyond20, AboveVTT, ad-blockers, VPNs, etc.). If none of those are the culprit, try clearing your cache and cookies. Some have reported that clearing their cookies fixed the issue. (The team is already aware that some users are experiencing this)

hardy gyro

Okay. I'll try that. Thanks.

verbal pasture
#

is there by chance a time line of planed updates forthe site and avrie bot ?

Neither DDB nor the Avrae team give timelines on their planned updates. Updates are announced when they are complete, rather than when they should be complete.

ddb mobile app says i’m being “shared” Tasha’s & Xanathar’s? yet i don’t own either one and the only “campaigns” i’m in are ones i’ve created

#

Is content sharing enabled in either of those campaigns?

#

And have other people been invited into those?

#

If so, it’s likely one of them purchased those books.

#

My DDB account is linked to an Apple account, but I just inherited an old iPad and the DDB app doesn't offer the option to log in with an Apple ID. Is there a limit to the number of times a user can change their linked account?

uneven lantern
#

There’s no limit.

#

You can also have a sign-in from each provider attached to the same account.

#

So you can add a Google or Twitch log-in and still keep your Apple one, too.

#

But unless your old iPad also has an old version of the old app, it should allow for Apple sign-in there.

#

They added that sometime last fall, IIRC.

final trellis
#

Apple ID requires a certain iOS version to be available

crystal saffron
#

Thank you. Do you know if there's a way to download the old compendium app? The tablet runs an old OS. The only app I see in the store is the DDB Player app, pre-consolidation. Thoughts?

final trellis
#

so if it is an older device you wont be able to use Apple ID (thats an Apple restriction, not a D&D Beyond restriction)

crystal saffron
#

I am hoping the compendium app is still available so that I can read my adventures without my desktop.

final trellis
#

It would be the same on the old Reader app - if you arent running iOS 13 or higher oin the iPad, the Apple ID login is unavailable

#

the iOS is stopping it - it has nothing to do with the app

#

Also, the old reader app is decommissioned - anyone who has it installed may find it works (but ive alreayd seen users with issues with some sourcebooks not opening because of lack of updates).

#

We do not support the old app anymore

crystal saffron
#

Yeah it's iOS 12. Thank you for the background info! I appreciate all your help.

Hey all! I'm kinda new in DnD and in the moment I would like to try the Divine Soul option.

I got the Xanatar book but I just can't find the option to do one, how do I get there?

(Sorry if I misspeled something, english is kinda new to me)

modest pelican
#

Did you purchase the full book or just the compendium?

brave bane
#

Full Book!

uneven lantern
#

When you go to create a Sorcerer, you should be able to select it under Sorcerous Origin.

brave bane
#

With the app, I do not know if it changes anything

#

@uneven lantern Can't find it. 😦

When I click on it it just says what a mage does

uneven lantern
#

Just to confirm, you're trying to create a new character using the Divine Soul option, correct?

brave bane
#

Yes! A human!

uneven lantern
#

Cool. So in the mobile app, you can go to the Characters tab. Then you should see a "Create New Character" button at the bottom.

brave bane
#

Ok, going there!

uneven lantern
#

You probably want Standard character creation.

#

The first page is your character settings. You can probably skip past that for now.

#

Second page is Race, where you can choose Human.

brave bane
#

Ok, just get there!

uneven lantern
#

Third page is Class. Pick Sorcerer first and hit Add Class, then find the Sorcerous Origin box and pick Divine Soul.

brave bane
#

It got jusr Hit Points, Proficiencies, Spellcasting and Acarne Recovery

#

just*, Sorry, my english is horrible

uneven lantern
#

Arcane Recovery is a wizard feature, not a sorcerer.

brave bane
#

OHHH, That's explain a lot

If you're going to post in either channel, please use the pinned post format

modest pelican
#

Are you using any extensions on the D&D Beyond end of things?

earnest bloom
#

not to my knowledge

modest pelican
#

I would verify that, some extensions such as Beyond20, AboveVTT and ad blockers and VPNs can interfere with how the data is sent to discord

#

Failing that, check that everyone has the right character set as active on avrae

#

You can see who you've got active with !char
You can see a list of all linked characters with !char list
And you can switch characters with !char change

uneven lantern
#

They also need their DDB and Discord accounts linked. You can use !ddb for instructions or to confirm if they’re already set.

earnest bloom
#

I think I did all of that though

#

ah

I think I know what the problem

#

Beyond 20 application

wanton shard

That'll do it, a lot of the time.

but it use to be ok

modest pelican
#

That'll mess with things a lot

earnest bloom
#

why problems now

#

?

modest pelican
#

Updates to the extension and/or D&D Beyond can cause the way extensions mess with the site to break things

#

Beyond20 messes with dice rolls a lot, resulting in some of them not registering as anything other than generic rolls

earnest bloom
#

but come to think of it other player are very new they didn't have beyond 20 though

I'd suggest having your whole group run through !tutorial beyond to confirm that everything is set up correctly.

Question, how do I add a AC bonus to a non armour item in homebrew

#

like the cloak of protection

wanton shard
#

When in doubt, if you're able to access the item in question it's usually best to create a homebrew copy using that item as a template, to see how official items are set up. That being said, the modifier you're looking for is Bonus > Armor Class (fixed value = AC bonus)

#

(Edit: Sorry, got ahead of myself and added the wrong modifier.)

little plume
#

I have six ddb characters who are all greyed out, and I'm trying to get them to join a "new" campaign. easiest way?

wanton shard
#

This likely means they're either locked (from a lapsed subscription), or else already in another campaign. In the first case, you would need to either re-subscribe or re-create the characters from scratch. In the latter, you either need to remove them from the first campaign, or else create a copy of the character and join the new campaign with the copy.

little plume
#

where do you remove the character from a campaign?

#

NEVERMIND

#

found it

mild pebble
#

hey somebody anybody! when you make a campaign on DDB is there a way to link it to one of the prewritten adventures that you own on the website?

edgy oriole
#

Not really - a campaign, as of right now, is a way to contain character sheets in a group, have notes on the campaign, and provide a shared dice log, and allow content sharing (when enabled).

mild pebble
#

oh alright

#

thanks anyway

edgy oriole
#

I know the DnDBeyond devs are working on building a shared play "surface" (whatever that may end up looking like) and perhaps there may be more connections to official published adventure modules.

#

The dev updates are probably the best way to keep up to date with what's happening and seeing the direction they are going.

uneven lantern
#

Out of curiosity, what would linking an adventure do for you, ideally?

so im making a variant warforged race and having issues making a portion of the race function properly visualy it works but functionality on sheet its not doing what its ment to and its breaking my head to figure it out pic is what i have

unknown.png
#

but choices dont work as intended

#

trying to make it s based on ur choice (via class,etc) ude choose your skin type and set the ac based on that instead of wearing armor

#

but when doing a modifier on the choice for set armor class doesnt quite work or just adding modifiers for bonus doesnt seem to work right not sure what i need to change to just make it act like wearing no, light/medium, heavy armor

solid kestrel
#

it's not armour

#

it's just a set you may need armor proficiency for

#

it's not armor, just AC

empty sluice
#

true got ahead of myself when typing but think i fixed it after ripping hear out cuz it just bonus ac with no modifiers setting it for example =6 with no mods would set ac to 16 then add dex mod after wich i capped at 2

and that works?

Use the website.

and personally the mobile website is kinda shit (IMO)
It also defeats the point of the app if I always go for the website anyway

naive lodge

Those are the two options available, as the app is meant to be accessible in situations where people don't have access to the Internet as well as when they do.

#

The app is not just a weird interface to the website, it is its own contained thing.

#

I am trying to type this in the FIXED VALUE section for Homebrew race but it won't accept it.

Modifier: Set->Subtype: Unarmored Armor Class->Fixed Value: 3 is not a valid number.

wanton shard
#

That field is strictly for the number, with no other text. In the drop-down menus above that field, under Modifier you would choose Set, then under Subtype, Unarmored Armor Class

plush sigil
#

Ah okay. I set it as Bonus.

wanton shard
#

I believe you would actually WANT to set it using Bonus

#

Set > Unarmored Armor Class will probably give them a flat 3 to AC

plush sigil
#

It still gives the same error as before after changing it to set

wanton shard
#

I'm assuming you're looking to have AC equal 13+DEX?

plush sigil
#

Yup

#

Should I just copy it like this from draconic sorcerer subclass

wanton shard
#

Hmm. If that's how the Draconic Sorcerer is set up, then yes. It's been a little while since I've done Unarmored AC bonuses, taking me a moment to get things arranged to test for you

uneven lantern
#

Yeah. It does 10 + Fixed Value.

plush sigil
#

Its only 13?

#

Oh. Dex modifier is automatic?

wanton shard
#

Interesting that it's Set and not Bonus

uneven lantern
#

Set defines a new AC calculation.

wanton shard
#

Aha

uneven lantern
#

Bonus adds the number to whatever calculation your character is currently using.

Yep, that makes sense. Thanks, spamandtuna 🙂 Gotta start flexing my homebrew muscles again

crystal scarab

if only robe of the archmagi did the same

uneven lantern

But yeah, dex gets added automatically.

If you want to limit / eliminate it, you need another modifier.

What that modifier is, I don't remember off the top of my head. 😅

Set -- Unarmored Armor Class Max Dex Modifier, maybe?

#

I'd have to double-check the actual name.

I won't probably have that problem. Its always max 20 for dex. Usually

Hope this is the right place. While looking at a character the page fails a API check? is anyone else having this issue?

Can you provide a screenshot of the error screen?

I've just refreshed the page, if it happens again I will

Heya, question. So I created a homebrew feat and it is currently in my homebrew collection. However when I click manage feats on a character sheet my homebrew feat doesn't show up. Any way to fix this?

wanton shard
#

Do you have Homebrew content enabled for that character?

#

Oh my god, I am so dumb. So sorry for disturbing you with that. It worked, thank you so much!

wanton shard
#

No worries! I do it myself all the time

Hi, I have a problem with my Sorcerer. I don't have the option for Metamagic Adept at level 4. I created a brand new character in the same campaign and the option is there. But my existing character doesn't have it as an option

#

We have TCoE and enabled

uneven lantern
#

You own TCoE yourself, or is it being shared with you?

cedar estuary
#

I own it

#

also I'm sharing it

#

This is the new character I created (100% same campaign)

This is my main Sorc

Yeah, if it’s the same campaign and it’s showing for one, it doesn’t sound like a licensing issue.

#

Can you share a link for the sorcerer’s sheet?

1 sec

#

If I go to Features & Traits, it says that character already has Metamagic Adept.

#

Which at least explains why it’s not showing in the dropdown.

cedar estuary
#

how is that possible? I've just gone to level 4

uneven lantern
#

Can you go to Features & Traits > Feats > Manage Feats and see if it shows in there?

cedar estuary
#

wow, so it is

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, looks like it was manually added there.

cedar estuary
#

😐

uneven lantern
#

If you click Remove, you should be able to select it as your ASI instead.

cedar estuary
#

OK, that explains it I guess

#

never noticed it - thanks!

It might be less confusing to show all options in the drop down, but have it checked or grey if already selected?

Hello all! Quick question...Our DM is allowing optional class features. I want to add Warding Bond to my Paladin but I don't have it in my known spells list. Help?

#

I've got "Optional Class Features" turned on in my preferences. Am I missing something?

prisma fulcrum
#

You've got to turn it on both on the first page of the editor and then turn on the expanded class list on the class page of the editor

#

or whichever feature, really

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, on the class page you should see a tab for “Optional Feature Manager”.

unborn lava
#

Thank you both!

#

Much appreciated!

Just a quick one if anyone can help? Am I overlooking something, but i can't seem to find forest gnome on DnD beyond. Any help is greatly appreciated, hope you are all well. (side note I am very new to all of this)

@west echo rock gnome is the free gnome. You'd have to purchase the forest gnome to use it on DnD Beyond.
