There is no attunement process in places for monster stat blocks in Extras. The easiest way to represent this at the moment would be to create a homebrew copy of the appropriate stat block for your familiar, and including any attuned magic item bonuses directly in the stat block. Whether that be a direct change to the monster's stats, or the addition of new actions, etc.

dull warren
#

Awesome, thank you! just wanted to double check before i go updating the stat block

#

Is there a way in monster stat blocks to represent charges that can be ticked off, or is that something i'd just have to manually keep track of?

wanton shard
#

That is something you'd have to keep track of yourself. You can still track it on the sheet by adding the item to your character sheet, and simply writing a note to remember that it's being used by your familiar (and setting the item weight to 0)

dull warren
#

Sounds good! Thank you 🙂

Hi, so I'm trying to create a character sheet, I'm making a wizard, their Arcane Focus is Necromancy, but the only thing I can pick is Evocation, is there a way that I can fix this?

Oh, I see. It's not a free thing, it has to be purchased

If you do buy the whole book later, the amount you paid for the individual content gets deducted from the price of the whole book.

I suppose

Homebrew class is still far away right?

So I just upgraded my account to Master, in hope of being able to share my purchases to other players so that they make create characters using all the additional races/subclasses from the content I've bought.

How do I do that?

Navigate to the campaign page for which you want to turn on content sharing. There should be a button near the top of the page to Enable Content Sharing. Once you've done that, you'll have the option to allow/restrict certain sources, using the newly visible Content Management button. (This only restricts what the players can read; all the tools will remain available to them in the Character Builder.)

As a DM of a campaign, you're freely able to modify character sheets already. Unless you specifically mean to actually reorganize information on the pages (rather than changing HP, features, themes, etc.)... That is not possible at the moment. However, many of the recent Dev Updates this year have talked about including a DM page of sorts, that would list at-a-glance info like character HP, passive scores, and so on. It's not currently available, but is somewhere in the development plans

#

I'm in 2 campaigns with the same person, one as player and one as DM, we both share dnd beyond books, but block our own adventures. But, we both have access to each others adventures, how can we stop this?

uneven lantern
#

At the top of each campaign page, the DM should see a Content Management button. You can use that to enable or disable compendium access for specific books to stop someone using that shared content from reading ahead.

#

If they own the content themself, however, they’ll be able to access it regardless.

@uneven lantern thanks. We have done this, but we still have access to each others adventures

I can't control what I share as a player, only share or not, so we probably sharing everything as players, I guess

Hey, are you guys still doing that 20% discount on bundles? I was planning on going with one of the larger ones, but I'm only seeing the discount for owned content.

silver tapir
#

Question: is there a way to move characters I created into a campaign I created or do I have to recreate them? Wanted to check if there was an easier way to do this before I just redo them all under the campaign.

wanton shard
#

It's possible there may be some bad homebrew, name, or another issue affecting this character. Can you post a link to the character sheet, so a forum mod or someone with the proper access can check?

silver tapir
#

Follow up question: if I do that, can I still assign the characters to my players or no?

Any one know what happens to the money when I cancel my Hero Sub and re-sub a master level?

modest pelican

Subscriptions don't convert over and can overlap
If you have existing time on your hero tier subscription, it will overlap with your new master tier subscription
Your best options are

  1. Wait until your hero sub fully expires, then upgrade
  2. Contact customer service

#

Hi this is a really dumb question but how do I roll skill checks and show the final result on the game log (including the modifiers for each skill)? I know how to roll the dice but it only shows the result i got on the dice in the game log.

#

Also how do I stop my players from being able to modify the stats on their characters?

solid kestrel
#

you can't stop players from altering their sheet, but as for rolling...

#

You're just using the bottom left misc roll? just a d20, no mods?

#

Since you can use the roll buttons on the character sheet to roll that specific save or check or attack

#

which will say what it is and automatically add its bonuses

modest pelican
zenith zephyr
#

I'm just clicking the button at the bottom left

modest pelican
#

That will only give a 'custom roll' result with the dice

#

If you want to add an ability modifier and proficiency, you will need to click the button next to the skill

zenith zephyr
#

Oh I see now thank you so much guys 👍

modest pelican

#

Is there a setting somewhere to ensure all my players rolls show up in the campaign game log? Some of them aren't.

west harbor
#

I think they have to set their rolls to show to 'everyone'
Not sure if you can do it as a DM or not, but that's just me. Wait for a better answer from someone else.

modest pelican
#

Yeah, players have the 'self', 'everyone' and 'dm' options.
If you want to see their rolls, they will have to set it to 'everyone' or 'dm'
This can be done from the top of the game log which will persist for the session
This can also be done on a roll-by-roll basis by right clicking/long pressing the roll button and selecting the roll target

plush glen
#

ok thank you. so the players have to select that on their own game logs? I cant do it as DM?

#

nvm think I figured it out

#

I have another question: I created a character for one of my players then set it as Unassigned in the campaign. But the player is not seeing an option to Claim it?

modest pelican
#

They won't be able to claim a character if they have 6 characters and don't have a subscription

Oh that's pretty cool.

wanton shard
#

Yep! Right in the middle there.

mellow valley
#

That's all I need?

wanton shard
#

That's all you need. 🙂 That's how you'd create, for instance, the Divine Soul sorcerer who is able to learn any spell from the cleric spell list

mellow valley
#

Sweet. Because, I need to limit the access up to the 5th level.

wanton shard
#

Well... There's a different story entirely. What class are you creating this subclass for?

mellow valley
#

Fighter. Making a Sorcerer version of the eldritch knight

wanton shard
#

Well, then never mind, that's all you need! Since the Fighter's spell progression won't go any higher 😄

mellow valley
#

I doing this from scratch I'm not modifying the actual sub class of eldritch knight. because EK only allows up to 4th level spells. lol

wanton shard
#

Ah... Y'know, I almost checked, but I figured you had the information right in front of you, and maybe I was forgetting that EK got 5th-level spells. Unfortunately, at the moment, there's no way to change a class's spell progression. This means that for classes like fighter (who have EK), rogue (Arcane Trickster), and even the blood hunter's Order of the Profane Soul, they have their subclass spell progression locked hard-coded. This subclass will have to follow the same slot progression as the Eldritch Knight, at the moment

little plume
#

Which is up to 5th IIRC

wanton shard
#

No, OmegaZero is right, it's only up to 4th

mellow valley
#

okay, I'll just make a bullet note to let the peeps know that there is a hard coded limitation.

little plume
#

ah

#

I've only got up to 11th level so far

#

I have created a private homebrew item that refers to a private homebrew spell, but unfortunately when I link the spell in the item description it only displays "[Tooltip Not Found]".
How can I create a working tooltip, or do I have to publish the spell to make it accessible in the item description?

Tooltips don't work for homebrew, only for official items

Hey! So I was trying to save an encounter I was running tonight with both normal monsters/PCs and a few manual entries in it, but it started throwing PUT 400 errors and wouldn't save. I was trying to figure out why, so I reloaded, reentered the initiative etc. and it failed again. I tried a third time, but didn't enter the manual entries, and it saved without issue. As soon as I added the manual entries in it started failing again. Is this a KI?

wanton shard
#

I don't believe so. One moment, I'm going to attempt to reproduce

sudden fjord
#

sg, let me know if you need me to provide console logs or w/e 🙂

wanton shard
#

I'm unable to reproduce here. Do you have any extensions that may be interfering? E.g. Beyond20, AboveVTT, ad-bockers, VPNs, etc. And if you try to run this combat with manual entries and save it again in a different browser or in an Incognito window, do you still receive the errors?

That's odd. What magic items are you having trouble finding?

uneven lantern

None of those items should be behind any content toggles. 🤔

I take it the book is being shared with you? Is your character assigned to the campaign that's sharing it?

#

Do you have any filters set in Add Items that might be excluding those items?

what is the d&d beyond command to make it so a stat increase from a homebrew magic item can break 20

uneven lantern
#

You need a Modifier with…

Subtype: Ability Score Maximum
Ability Score: (whichever)
Fixed Value: (Your new max - 20, so for a max of 22, you’d put “2”.)

And then if you want it to actually increase the score, you’ll need a separate Modifier for that, too.

i got it now

As an added tip: if there’s ever an official item that does what you want (tome of leadership, for example), you can make a homebrew copy of it. Then you can dig in to see exactly how they set it up and compare notes.

So nothing on the browser/computer? It very much looks like a connection issue on your side which could be related back to soemthing blocking the data, which is why i said check extensions, etc

solid kestrel

Nope, nothing going on with extensions as none are on DDB

modest pelican
solid kestrel
#

double disabling isn't a thing, because nothing is going on with extensions as none are on DDB

clarification to say that there are no extensions active or permitted to interact with the DDB site and no rolls are able to happen

modest pelican
solid kestrel
#

There are zero extensions active, as said twice.

modest pelican
#

No, what you said was "nothing going on with extensions as none are on DDB" which sounds very much like you are referring to extensions you think only interact with DDB
Either way, if the issue still persists, can you try loading the site in an in-private or incognito window

No extensions are on, flat, literally zero

can't roll

incognito did work for some reason, so now it's a matter of figuring out what's different.

Suggestions

  • log out, then back in again
  • clear cached data (1)
  • clear cookies (2)
  • hard refresh (3)
  1. Menu > More Tools > Clear Browsing Data. Check only 'Clear cached images and files', then select 'Clear data'
  2. Menu > More Tools > Clear Browsing Data. Check only 'Cookies and other site data', then select 'Clear data'
  3. Press Ctrl + Shift + R
#

Game log only appears if a character is in a campaign

solid kestrel
#

Whatever sorcery you practice, that worked. cached data and cookies... I have no idea how or why that'd brick rolling.

modest pelican
#

Bad site data can get cached if loading the site gets interupted

#

Your browser doesn't know it's bad, so keeps loading that data rather than pulling it fresh from the server

modest pelican
#

Are you starting by copying the Eldritch Knight subclass? Or starting from scratch?

mellow valley
#

Starting from Scratch.

#

EK only give up to 4th level

modest pelican
#

Okay, that's the issue. You can't add spellcasting to a non-spellcasting class from within the subclass builder. You would have to copy an existing subclass (say EK or Arcane Trickster) and modify that

mellow valley
#

Im makeing a Sorcerer version of the EK

modest pelican
#

You won't be able to build a fighter subclass that does spellcasting beyond what the EK can do

#

Which includes spell level

mellow valley
#

Ahh okay. Would I be able to modify the EK subclass to use the Sorcerer Spell list and change to where I can give access to 5th level spells as well as change the number of spells learned and Spell slots?

modest pelican
#

Spell list, maybe
Spell level, no as that's based on the hard coded spell slots progression

mellow valley
#

Ahh I wish we can have that freedom change that.

wanton shard
#

Sorry to be so late to the game, but you can add spellcasting to the fighter without copying EK. You just need to give the subclass a feature called Spellcasting (just that word)

jade gyro
#

Purpose of the little + symbol???

image0.png
wanton shard
#

That typically indicates a spell that was added to the spell list by an optional feature. (Edit: Or other non-class/subclass features, such as from race.) Which is strange to see as an artificer... 🤔

am i missing something?

#

Do you own that class? Or is it being shared with you?

empty whale
#

i dont know

#

i thought all ii had to do for artificer is turn on eberon

#

i also just turned on homebrew but its not working

uneven lantern
#

Actually since the release of Tasha's, it's no longer behind that toggle at all. You should be able to access it without enabling any of those.

#

But those toggles also don't grant access to any content you can't normally access.

#

If you've purchased any artificer subclass, or ERFTLW, or TCOE, you should be able to see it there automatically.

empty whale
#

?

uneven lantern
#

If it's being shared with you, you'll only see it in the campaign that's sharing it.

#

no im not in a campaign

lime gulch

Then you need to be in shared campaign with someone who does or buy it from the shop.

oh

how do i buy it

can i buy artificer itself?

Look down at individual items.

uneven lantern
lime gulch

You need to buy the subclass you want.

empty whale

but i dont want a premade subclass

#

i made one that i want to use

uneven lantern
lime gulch
#

You can't buy classes. You have to buy a subclass. Then you have access to the class.

uneven lantern
#

But that's the price of a subclass anyway, which will also unlock the base class.

#

Plus, whatever you spend gets credited toward the remaining price of the book itself.

Thank you

I'm making a homebrew subclass. One of the features is giving an ally temporary hit points equal to the player's wisdom modifier + their cleric level. I know official subclasses can have a calculation built into the description so the value just shows up in the description. How can I do that in the homebrew builder?

solid kestrel
#

I think you'd use snippets to display it.

#

for description, general viewing, the calculation

... equal to your wisdom modifier + your cleric level.

I love using the hardcover D&D books for planning and quick reference. But is there a way that if I buy a physical book, I can somehow unlock the online book?

#

I don't want to buy the book twice

uneven lantern
#

I'm afraid not, for a number of reasons. (The biggest being that DDB is run by a separate company than WotC.)

#

However, you can use the homebrew tools to recreate the content from your books for free.

#

Or you can buy just the parts of the book you need, like a specific subclass.

#

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

So I am having trouble sharing homebrew items. if I create a campaign. those players go into that campaign. can they access my homebrew and then rejoin the other campaign, the one we are playing, and still have the item I shared listed in their inventory? I am a dwarf player in our campagin, that forged some weapons, but no one can see them in the inventory.

west harbor
uneven lantern
#

Homebrew gets automatically shared with any campaign you're in, regardless of whether Content Sharing is enabled.

#

As long as you've got it in your My Homebrew Collection and the character has Homebrew Content enabled, they should see it.

#

Yes

unborn void
uneven lantern
#

What exactly is it they're trying to add? A feat, subclass, magic item...?

#

And how long ago did you create it?

unborn void
#

I just made them yesterday. I created 3 weapons but the dm was unable to pull them up in the inventory management and he has homebrew enabled.

uneven lantern
#

The DM has his own character in your campaign?

unborn void
#

he does.

#

i was able to search for them in my character sheet. if i can see it. does it mean its saved?

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, it should be saved, then.

#

He doesn't have any of the filters here selected, does he?

#

i asked him to make sure he didnt.

#

I'd ask another player to check, but the weapons are a surprise. lol

uneven lantern
#

That's your My Homebrew Collection? (Not My Homebrew Creations?)

is there a keep private box? or does that just reference that it isnt shared with dndb?

yes. the weapons show there. and under creations. this is a shot in collection.

this is what it looks like in the creations.

Screenshot_20210820-111303_Samsung_Internet.jpg

Yeah, the "Private" there just means it hasn't been published for wider community use.

Your private homebrew should still be shared with your campaign.

And you did say he has Homebrew Content enabled in his character settings, right?

thats what he said. ia there a setting in the campaign itself that needs to bw checked?

uneven lantern
#

If you're the DM, though, you do have the ability to edit their sheets yourself, meaning you can apply any customizations (themes, frames, or backdrops) that you've personally unlocked.

uneven lantern
#

I wonder if it's a caching issue.

#

Can you have him try to temporarily change his character name? That should force a cache refresh.

had my hubby who is also a player check and he could see it. so ita definitely something with how dm is looking for it.

Easier acess Mellie!

#

Maybe because it's repeated damage?

#

let me see if its on heat metal

quick dove
#

❤️ Handy! Yes, Astral is spot on!

The star means that the spell has more effects related to the damage. Some of those only do damage on subsequent turns, some do damage plus another effect on a failed save! Basically short-hand for "don't forget to check the spell description"!

The blue coloring is for spells cast at a higher level, so that grey is taking on that colour

using the encounter feature what you should be able to do is add another character in the builder and set it to the level you think the npc is then it should balance it for them if thats what you ment

The encounter builder and combat tracker are two different things. The former lets you design encounters and is currently in beta (available to all). The combat tracker lets you run encounters you've built, and is in alpha (only available to subscribers)

Should be there on your Class page in the character editor, assuming you’re a high enough level to have unlocked any.

@finite barn D&D Beyond is a separate, independent company from Wizards of the Coast who print the physical books. As such, there is no way to redeem or transfer a purchase between physical and digital formats
As mentioned, you can use the homebrew tools to copy the options from your book into D&D Beyond, but only for personal use (ie, do not publish them)
Alternatively you can

  • purchase the books on D&D Beyond
  • purchase individual elements on D&D Beyond such as races, monsters or subclasses
  • join a campaign where content sharing is enabled to access the content owned by others in the campaign

is there an offical way?

Encumbrance is a rule that determines how much weight your character can carry based on the character's strength. There are two ways to calculate it, a simple way (you can't carry more than X pounds) and a complicated way (where you suffer increasing penalties for more weight over a certain threshold).

I think the steps to force-update involved switching something in the Character Builder for the specific character and then switching it back, and then it somehow did a live grab of the current homebrew info. Possibly character level? Again, I just don't recall at the moment.

Either or - if you cancel and then start the new sub, we can see the date the original was cancelled and work off that as the prorated. Alternatively you can submit a ticket, we can cancel and (when we do this we generally give a 48 hour period remaining for you to start the new sub).

One thing to check if that both the encounter and the campaign have names. Either being unnamed can cause issues

thought that might have been the problem so I named the encounter and that didn't fix it for the version I'd actually be running.

the playerless campaign could save it

but not the one I need it for

the playerless campagin has 4 characters while the one with players is counting 9 though

#

I hit hide on the 3 NPCs not in the fight

#

but maybe that's it?

#

cause the campaign it's not saving for won't save any encounters at all

That error is usually because there is a character in the campaign that is incomplete- so missing classes, race, or ability scores

Completing the character should resolve it

I have the same issue but with a homebrew item and the Fortune's Favor Spell.

#

Weird. A workaround is to recreate the spell in homebrew and add it that way but it's not ideal.

winged idol
#

Yeah

#

I'm trying to add a feat to a magic homebrew item. When attuning to the item the feat does not show up in the item sheet though. Am I doing something wrong?

#

From my experience this is the case with all homebrew items that have a feat. Sadly, you still have to manually add the feat to your character by going to features and traits - feats and selecting manage feats.

low gale
#

too bad, that's inconvenient when the feat should only be there while you have the item equipped, but I guess there's nothing that can be done then

modest pelican
#

Magic items cannot add feats

#

Not every modifier functions on every homebrew type

uneven lantern
#

The easiest solution would be to make a dummy item, and then manually add the feat directly on the character sheet.

#

Otherwise, you need to re-implement the feat specifics on the item itself.

#

If it's an item they'll equip/unequip often, that's probably the better solution anyway.

Adding Spells to Homebrew

hollow spindle
#

so, I don't have my DM available in real time to debug this with me but we have a campaign where a player is a subscriber and enabled content sharing in a campaign someone else is running as a DM. The subscriber also owns the phb. When I make a cleric my options for divine domain do not even include all the options listed in the phb (I was going to do trickery domain). Is there something I can look into on my end as to why this is?

I'm assuming it's something to do with sources but nothing stands out to me

I have an issue with subscription. How do I get help with this?

little plume
# final trellis What's the issue exactly so I can advise?

I got an email telling me that subscribers got 4 new animated frames. I thought I was subscribed to the annual plan so I went to check them out. They weren't there so I went to the marketplace and subscribed. The frames still didn't show up. Went to subscriptions and it turns out I was already subscribed to the annual plan and it was cancelled before the end date because of resubscribing but I want to stick with my original plan since I had already paid for a full year.

final trellis
#

Okay, you'll need to raise a support ticket so we can deal with the resub as it involves Billing - http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket
As for the frames, if you already had a subscription that was still providing benefits, all Character sheet cosmetics are accessed via the character sheets. These had been rolled out to everyone based on the dates of a subscription benefit being active, so should be there

little plume
#

Yeah they weren't there that's what's caused me to have the issues but thanks I'll submit the ticket

Apologies, got distracted by another issue - I've checked the perks activated, all the frames from August are there. The 4 frames and 4 animated versions are in the Frames section on the character sheets

#

When you are on a character sheet, click the character's name (setting cog next to name) - in the sidebar scroll down to Change Frames and click that. Then they are at the bottom grouped under Subscriber Frames

#

I'm not very familiar with the snippets feature of the homebrew stuff...is there a snippet code that lets you chose among a list of feats?

modest pelican
#

Snippets don't provide choices, they instead pull information from the character and display it as a self updating value
So for example, if you wrong

This character is level {{charlevel}}
The sheet would display that as
This character is level 2
When they're level two, and when they level up, change to
This character is level 3

hollow spindle
#

hmm

#

is there a way I can add a racial trait that lets someone choose a feat?

#

is something like that unrelated to snippets?

#

essentially I'm trying to make a eldarin variant that uses the fey touched feat as a replacement for fey ancestry

solid kestrel
#

snippets aren't related to choosing feats?

A snippet is there to be a more concise snippet of information
like Scourge aasimar radiant consumption
the snippet value automatically tracks how much radiant damage you do on your aura and on your per turn damage bonus

hollow spindle
#

(like I said this is all new territory forgive me that I misunderstood the purpose of snippet pls 🙏 )

#

I just didn't see any other hints as to where I would put something like that other than maybe snippets

real path
#

is it possible to make a feat in ddb that adds (prf bonus number) of ki points to a character? Can I restrict it to monks only?

modest pelican
#

I don't believe ki is something that can be modified (nothing official modifies it, so no modifier exists in the system)
And no, class based prerequisites don't exist for feats either (same reason as above)

#

will this be possible with the general feature system?

but for some reason this one character only shows the earlier 3 characters from the campaign

I think the other two shown there also took a second to have the final 2 show up, but I don't know what I did to have it where 4/5 of them can show everyone but Aranys only links to half the other characters

Private characters aren't shown in the list

I've tried googling this, but most of the results I've found have been 1+ years old. Is there a way to add a spell to spells known for a character? So that it will be shown in the spell list and count towards the spell slots. I've tried adding spells with a feat, but I only managed to make it work either at will or using charges. Also, the spell seems to not be listed for upcasting with higher level spell slots.

I know of the (way too convoluted) trick of making a custom sub-class, and adding it there. But this is unfeasible currently, as they would have to re-set all their options for the new subclass, just so I can give them a spell.

Yes, the only content that is freely available on D&D Beyond is SRD/Basic Rules content and other materials that are freely available from Wizards of the Coast. Other feats would require either purchase of the book they're found in (such as the PHB or XGtE), or can be purchased piecemeal from those sources. Any content purchased from a book will also subtract from the total cost of the book if you should choose to purchase it completely in the future 🙂

If I am in a dnd beyond campaign can I use the content for other campaigns. As In if the dm has content sharing can I make characters through there game for other games

You have to make characters in the campaign with content sharing on to be able to use that content. If you have a character leave that campaign I don't believe you'll be able to level them up correctly without owning the content or being in a campaign with that content shared.

Hey mods! Can i ask if using the name Adohands in a spell would be a problem? Wanna make a tribute spell now that adohands is gone and just wanna make sure thats cool

#

Did something happen to the Draconic UA race? I've noticed that it, the kobold, the owlkin and the fairy have all disappeared from the website... I'm not sure if it's something I've done with my account or a recent change.

#

I notice now that they've all been archived...

#

Ah. I finally found the post.

#

That is a little disappointing, especially the note that UA homebrew can't be shared.

edgy oriole
#

You can share it within a shared campaign - just don't publish it.
(Unpublished homebrew can be shared in a campaign)

proud hound
#

Right, but that means I have to spend time to create the homebrew myself, and I'm not particularly good at that.

#

Obviously I understand the reasons -- there's no point dedicating time and resources to UA if those are going to change and time spent implementing them is wasted vs the final product that gets released.

#

Presumably I will have to find a homebrew wizard who's able to/has already recreated these and is able to invite me to a campaign where they're shared and I can ... potentially add them to my collection? I'm not sure how that works -- or if that's an allowed form of sharing?

uneven lantern
#

There’s not a way to add another user’s unpublished homebrew to your collection, regardless of whether you’re in a campaign together.

old wolf

so probably another homebrew feature lacking, im making an item. It has a once a day ability that i want it to have a charge for, it also has the ability to cast spells similar to other items (like doss lute)

#

is this something that can be done with have two separate charges, one set for spells and one unique for the ability

hexed kettle
#

I believe that you can only set charges for the item, you would have to specify in the details that one charge is for "A" and one is for "B". Unfortunately, there is not a way to assign charges to specific spells/actions, so it's more of an "honor system" with the player and DM that they are using the item correctly.

uneven lantern
#

If this homebrew is for private use, you can probably pull it off by adding a homebrew feat as well.

#

Use the item for the description, and the feat for the mechanics.

winged idol

Denshar is not making an item that has mechanics outside of normal rules. It's just like the instruments of the bards, which don't work as intended on dndbeyond. (A lot of things don't work as intended, RAW, when it comes to magic items on dndb in fact.)

edgy oriole

Yes Avrae can do both - DM can start initiative with Avrae, players can add their characters, DM can then run the monsters, players their characters.
(Avrae can load in player's characters from DnDBeyond).

Go to #ddb-avrae-commands and check out the !tutorial command to get an overview of Avrae and what it can do.

Or even better run the tutorial on your own Discord server with Avrae.

The only content available for free on D&D Beyond is that which is shared for free by Wizards of the Coast. Other feats, such as those available in the Player's Handbook, may only be used if: 1) You purchase the content on D&D Beyond (you can buy individual pieces of content piecemeal, which will subtract from the total cost of the book it's in if you should choose to buy the full book in the future); 2) You are in a campaign where Content Sharing is enabled (by a player with a Master tier subscription) and that content is being shared with your characters in that given campaign; or 3) You use the homebrew tools to build the content for your own personal collection (which can be shared freely with other campaign members, but may NOT be published to the public homebrew listings).

#

Your constitution modifier gets added to that number automatically, which you can see right below the Rolled HP. 15 + 6 = 21.

#

HP Modifier and Override HP are typically used for temporary effects, like Life Drain. The first one will add / remove its value from your total HP (put "-5" and it will subtract 5 from your 21). The second is used to set your HP directly to that number, ignoring everything else (put 15 and you'll have a max HP of 15).

So I a trying to make a homebrew spell. It is doing 2d6 damage. and 1d6 for each spell slot above spell level. It is a ranged (30ft) spell attack to hit. On the character sheet in the spells the spell damage is only showing 1d6 and the same for higher levels. Is there a way for the at level spell to show the full damage die and same for higher levels?

Does anyone know if there is a way to see what books a friend of yours has on their dndbeyond account? I want to buy a book for my friends birthday but don't want to gift him one he already has. Any tips are appreciated! Thanks!

There is not, unfortunately.

#

If you're in a campaign together with Content Sharing enabled, then any book you're unable to access they definitely won't have.

#

But any book you can access isn't necessarily coming from that friend.

How can I add an existing character I created to a new campaign?

It's an option in the invite link.

I have a question is there a way to have tags on D&D Beyond characters so you can sort them? Like lets say I have different characters for my own session, a friends, some funny characters, test characters, & etc. But I'm only looking for the test characters out of the many I have but I want to add a tag on them so I have quick access to them via filtering.

#

If not would that ever be a consideration for down the line because me and my friends think that would be really useful for finding certain characters they are looking for out of the bunch, rather then scrolling or remembering and typing in their names.

I can't speak for the dev team, but I believe folders are something that they've been considering since there seems to be a demand for them.

Folders can also work in the way I'd imagine since they would do the same thing. I'd really be looking forward to that if they did add it.

I think this is where i put this. I'm trying to make a nonmagical (or at least low-fantasy) campaign for my friends. does anyone have any resources as far as conversions or homebrew to make this happen?

#

or really just general advice would be great if neither is available.

Why use DnD when so much of it is magical?

This channel is for help with the tools. You'll probably want to ask in #dm-discussion

What happens if you have a subscription to ddb and you make more than 6 characters but then the subscription ends?

naive lodge
#

You will have to lock the extra characters, it will give you an option to choose.

When editing a homebrew magic item, how do I remove table rows I don't need?

Hey there! real quick question. Im working on a paladin subclass and their aura feature gives allies a flat numerical bonus based on their charisma. How would I set that up with the inline code for the ability snippet?

Ok, thank you so much for your help.

Keep in mind that a snippet is just text. It has no functionality other than displaying numbers for easy reference.

Im fine with that. Thats all I wanted to do.

I've got a question. I'm trying to make a homebrew monster and it isn't supposed to have rections, bonus actions, legendary actions, or mythic actions and yet no matter what I try the headers for them always appear on the stat block. I've tried not touching them and I've tried deleting the text but they always just appear. Edit: Also Lair actions.
