why can you make subclasses but not classes

modest pelican
#

Because they're fundamentally very different in terms of complexity.

i am trying to edit my charicture by adding a hombrew feat, but when i go to edit it the pages dont have any of the editing boxes they just look like this:

#

if i go to the charictur sheet page, the click the anvil in the upper right hand corner i can see the proper class page (but only the class page, if i move to a defrent page it all looks like this), but no feats are available.

Hi!
Is there anyone who can help me make a Copy of the Orcish Fury Feat on DDB.
I have a bug on the account and can't join Campaigns to access the official feat.
I am working with support to fix that but would like the feat to work using homebrew till then.

i wanna make a class but idk how lmao

So I'm making a spell that's just a passive buff, but for some reason it still says "+9" to hit and I can't figure out where that is coming from.

quick question

#

im new and was wondering when you cast a spell thats when you use a slot right?

wanton shard
# compact matrix im new and was wondering when you cast a spell thats when you use a slot right?

Questions of this type are better suited to #dnd-rules (this channel is more for questions regarding the D&D Beyond toolset), but generally yes: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/spellcasting#SpellSlots

Unless a feature indicates otherwise, the act of casting a spell will use a spell slot; for instance, if something were to say that a casting failed but no spell slot was expended, that would be different from the wording of counterspell:

If the creature is casting a spell of 3rd level or lower, its spell fails and has no effect.
In this case, the slot would still be expended. The same goes for readying a spell:
When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your reaction when the trigger occurs.
You've still cast the spell, and so the slot is consumed, regardless of whether you actually release the spell or not. https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#Ready

okay thanks ill remeber to do that next time

lean rover
#

Is there a possibility of marking things that are homebrew as homebrew? when looking at homebrew spells, there doesnt seem to be a way to know that they are homebrew from normal spells. Am i missing something?

verbal pasture
#

wen making your char if you tern off homebro content it wil n ot show it

uneven lantern
#

If you expand the spell details, you’ll see either a “Source” or a “Version” field.

#

Source is official. Version is homebrew.

lean rover
#

thank you!

final trellis
#

We always have the latest version. So when errata is released, it will replace the previous text/element/etc. - we don't have different versions for official content.

#

Hey can someone tell me where to add my trinket in my character sheet?

modest pelican
#

You can add custom items to your inventory

rotund tinsel
#

where?

rotund tinsel
#

this is my first character ever so I'm not sure what to do here

modest pelican
#

You have to do it directly from your character sheet
Finish making your character, then you'll be taken to the sheet

rotund tinsel
#

Alright

#

Thanks

modest pelican
#

There's an 'Other Possessions' section at the bottom of your inventory where you can not down your trinket

#

Alternatively, click Manage Inventory, then 'Equipment' in the side bar. There'll be a +Add Custom Item option

When you say "it wont let me sign in with google", what is happening exactly?

#

Are there "how to" for Share Unlocked Official Content with Others? I purchased the Master Tier but my players do see the source book content like I do in my Sources drop down.

modest pelican
#

You have to go into the campaign and click the 'Enable Content Sharing' button

#

All your players must have characters in that campaign to access your content

late kelp
#

is there any way to create a homebrew subclass feature that buffs a cantrip's damage?

#

specifically, adding a d6 of damage to thunderclap

modest pelican
#

Not currently, no

#

That's an example of one of the 'snowflake rules' that the team is trying to get the system to support

#

For example, empowered evocation let's you add your wizard level (I believe) to evocation spell damage; we don't currently natively support this

#

The first step was the Life Domain cleric, which is now supported

#

However, each such rule requires a bespoke approach (hence why they're called snowflake rules; each rule is unique, like a snowflake)

late kelp
#

ahh, that makes sense.

#

thanks, @modest pelican!

modest pelican
#

However, hopefully once the team starts finding robust solutions, it'll open up new homebrew options

sour river
#

What about sharing my homebrew creations? I thought that my creations were automatically shared with my campaigns. Do I have to make them public?

violet vortex
#

I believe everybody’s character sheets have to allow homebrew content

uneven lantern
#

Yep! Everything in your My Homebrew Collection is shared with your campaigns automatically, but players will only see it if they have Homebrew Content enabled for their character.

#

Quick question. The Piety score (as described in Mythic Odysseys of Theros), is there something in DDB that keeps track of piety scores and thus powers? If so is there a way to customize the different pantheons?

#

Sorry I guess that is really 2 questions.

violet vortex
#

I believe that’s something that’s being worked on, but not available yet.

#

Same with Supernatural/Dark Gifts

winged idol
#

Okay Sweet

#

Thanks

modest pelican
#

The generic feature system is intended to support such game features

violet vortex
#

That’s what it is

modest pelican
#

However, the degree of customisation will depend on the implimentation

violet vortex
#

I forgot what they were calling it

winged idol
#

And the generic feature system is what is being worked on and not yet available?

modest pelican
#

It's not been released yet, no

winged idol
#

Okay thanks

modest pelican
#

It's a system designed to support all the weird little 'floating' rules that don't actually connect to anything specifically, like Piety, Dark Gifts, Boons and Supernatural Gifts

winged idol
#

Looking forward to that.

i just bought a one month d&d beyond subscription and i've been so pleased with being able to make more characters! i'm a little worried about what will happen to the extras once the subscription is up, though. they don't get deleted or anything, do they? do i still have access to them, but can't make any more?

#

oh nvm i just looked it up in the history of this channel 👍

zinc pivot
#

i am curious what it means for a sheet to be "locked" though

#

does that mean i can't view it, or that i can't edit it?

Both I believe. I'm only about 73.5% sure though.

Just trying to access a character sheet of a PC in my campaign, and I am getting the message that "As you try to enter the 403rd level of the endless dungeon... ...in other words, you don't have access to complete the action" ... anyone know of a quick fix for this issue?

verbal pasture
#

is ther away to set avrie to skip a rond for saprise rounds

west harbor
#

That question is better asked in #ddb-avrae-help but for a surprise round, you would simply skip the actions of anyone who is not ready.

#

The GM can do !init next on a surprised player or monster's turn.

What's the best way for a non-artificer to get an infused item onto his or her equipment list? Homebrew?

How do you find the page to make your character and it's skills/proficiencies?

modest pelican
copper vapor
#

how do you get the guild merchant variation of the artisan background?

modest pelican
#

Guild Merchant is just a different way of applying the background

copper vapor
#

yes but I'm not seeing how you actually choose it's options

#

e.g. extra language instead of tool proficiency, cart instead of kit

modest pelican
#

You make a custom background and pull in the guild artisan features where relevant

copper vapor
#

seems weird that you would have to customize it when it's a PHB thing

modest pelican
#

It's a suggestion in the PHB rather than a full option

uneven lantern

Yeah, for charges, homebrew is your only option.

hidden robin
#

Any way to get the reaction on there? Right now all I'm seeing is to make a homebrew feat and add that to the magic item.

wanton shard
#

Unfortunately there is no way to attach actions to magic items. A feat is certainly an option, but you can also add a custom action directly to the character sheet

hidden robin
#

Is it possible to add a homebrew feat to a homebrew magic item?

wanton shard
# hidden robin Is it possible to add a homebrew feat to a homebrew magic item?

I believe not, unfortunately. If this is an item being given to another player, you can create the additional feat and have them add that as well (from the character sheet, so it doesn't use an ASI). Otherwise, if you (or the other player) is comfortable creating custom actions on the character sheet, that's another way to do it without having to homebrew a feat

hidden robin
#

No, I just wanted the reaction to only be available when the shield is equipped. All this trouble just because only Artificers can possess their own infused items!

uneven lantern
#

Oh yeah, I didn’t even think about that part. Sorry. 😖

Hi, I’m trying to make a subclass that gets spells given similar to bonus cantrips at different levels.

Wish doesn't get listed for the genie warlock's 9th level mystic arcanums. I assume that's where it's supposed to go but it doesn't seem to come up.

If you create a homebrew spell, use Wish as the base, and just add Warlock to its classes, that should make it a legal choice for your Mystic Arcanum

humble garden
#

Does anyone know where I can update my billing information for dndbeyond?

modest pelican
#

Billing information is not stored on D&D Beyond. To change your transaction card for subscriptions, you must cancel your current subscription and start a new one

humble garden
#

How does that interact with my current subscription? Would I have to pay again and would it delete any of my six million character sheets since an unpaid account can only have 6 character sheets?

modest pelican
#

You wouldn't be pro-rated for your existing subscription, and the new one would start the moment you pay for it

#

If you were to cancel your current subscription and let it expire before starting a new one, nothing would be deleted

#

In fact, if you didn't access your characters between the end of your old sub and starting your new one, you wouldn't notice anything

humble garden
#

Yeah okay, so no reason to worry about new information till the current one runs out?

#

If I have annual payment in january, i shouldn't worry about anything until january next year?

Hi all, quick (possibly dumb) question, but has the Bladesinger from Tasha's been added into the character builder in some way at all?
Wouldn't mind playing one but it seems to still be the SCAG Bladesinger

modest pelican
#

There isn't a 'new' bladesinger, the SCAG one and the TCOE one are the same

#

The Bladesinger has been updated with the errata

idle arch
#

I believe the only change between SCAG and TOCE was the removal of the requirement that you need to be an elf

onyx wasp
#

In SCAG Bladesong was 2 times per short rest. Now it's proficiency bonus times per long rest.
And also the removal of 'ELF ONLY' "feature".

DDB doesn't really have a method for separating content you own from content you don't. Its a decent marketing strategy to always dangle stuff you don't have access to in front of you. Things like the character builder will at least only show content you actually have access to. Other than that, you could just go into the market place and see what content is or is not still for sale there, and figure out which ones you own based on that

abstract ore
#

I would fundamentally disagree with the idea that it's a good marketing strategy when your users cannot identify if it makes sense to purchase your product or not. It is also incredibly problematic for troubleshooting other issues one might have, such as syncing access to purchased content through the Master level subscription. The site has been completely unusable for a campaign I'm in because our players literally cannot input their character information into the creator because of this malfunction. It's also incredibly problematic because we've submitted two tickets in the past month to resolve said issue, and have received no response from an apparently understaffed team. They would be cutting their work in half at least, and increasing their user base, thus sales, if they addressed issues that users have been bringing to light and commenting on repeatedly since 2019.

#

I have attempted the methods you've suggested, to no avail. There is no apparent indicator.

#

I hear you. It would be nice if owned content at least had a star or something next to it.

Just to add to that - the author of the Eberron game world has produced several Eberron sourcebooks that are legitimately available to purchase as PDFs. These are not published by Wizards of the Coast.
"Eberron: Rising from the Last War" is the only one published by WotC (and "Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron" but that's an odd case).
Any of the others, if you have purchased the PDF elsewhere, you are welcome to used our homebrew system to build the content for use in your own games - we ask that you don't publish that homwebrew content though, as copyright remains with the original author.

I'm trying to set something up for one of my players who wants to be a "wereflumph" (It's a very complicated thing with his character, but not game-creaking for me so I'm allowing it) but I can't figure out how I'd go about making that within the homebrew system.

#

On a similar note, is there a way to restrict something (specifically, a magic item) until I choose to reveal it to the party? I'm trying to create some homebrew magic items but don't want them visible from the start

removing it won't delete it? As long as it's not deleted I'll do that

Correct.

Removing from the collection also will not remove it from characters who have already added an item to their sheet. Good for singular items you won't be using more than once, like personalized feats etc.

You can even edit the cart to have a negative weight to offset the weight of what's inside it

Is there a way to level up your character quickly without having to use character builder?

The only way to level up your character is through the character builder.

Because as you level up, you might need to make additional choices for your character that may not be accessible on the sheet itself.

Not sure if this is the correct channel. I started a new campaign today. All 7 players are using DNDBeyond and all their rolls appeared in my dicord server. However, 1 of the player's rolls wouldn't add her character's modifiers. Just plain D20s. When I used her character sheet (all the players are part of my DNDBeyond campaign), the rolls would show up with the the modifer added. Any thoughts on what is the problem? BTW, she also uses Roll20 for other campaigns/characters.

Does “have access” mean you own the book yourself? Or is it being shared with you through Content Sharing?

To use any shared character options, your character has to be assigned to the campaign that’s sharing them.

Hello, I am nor exactly sure if the oozeborn as a race exist already in dnd beyond as some sort of classified homebrew that i need to buy a book for, or are they simply a homebrew race that i need to create or is there already someone who officially posted homebrew and i need to subscribe or something (i am not quite sure what i need to do) in order to have access to it?

#

How can I play oozeborn (if possible, as a race on dnd beyond)?

at the time tashas came out, the eberron toggle definitely still needed to be on, speaking from experience

fair enough

Or you can use the homebrew tools to create an oozeborn race of your own design and publish that for others to use.

how can i make homebrew and stop my players from seeing it

i dont want to spoil what monsters they will see in the campaign

#

someone help

modest pelican
#

@little plume If you don't want your players to be able to see your homebrew, click the 'remove from my collection' button at the bottom
It will still be in your homebrew creations

little plume
#

and how do i share homebrew

#

i put it in my collections

modest pelican
#

Yes, any homebrew in your collection (be it your own or something you've added from the community) will be shared with anyone you're in a campaign with

little plume
#

im trying that with my friends account but its not working

#

i put on homebrew on his character sheet

#

@modest pelican

#

he also doesnt have access to the books i have

#

i have the master subscription

#

and im sharing homebrew

modest pelican
#

If you've got the homebrew in your collection, and the player is in a campaign that you are the DM of, they should see the homebrew on his sheet
He will need to have homebrew content turned on

little plume
#

its turned on

modest pelican
#

He'll only have access to the books and homebrew if the character is in the campaign you made

okie

#

ill try it out

#

oh so he only has access to spells in his character sheet

Download the DnDBeyond mobile app (make sure to create a DnDBeyond account), create a character, find a group to play D&D with, then use the app to roll dice and look up your characters features while playing.

#

(but D&D is not, in itself, a video/mobile game)

tired plover
#

I alr downloaded the mobile app and created a character but does this mean I can't play unless I'm on PC?

edgy oriole
#

No - you can play with your character on the mobile app.
I think your question is more about finding a group to play D&D with - if that's correct, check out the #looking-for-players and #750812887697588356 channels. Make sure to follow the pinned format if you post there.

What's the difference between the Combat Tracker and the Encounter Tracker?

modest pelican
#

There isn't an encounter tracker, it's the encounter builder
You use the encounter builder to build encounters
Once you've done that, you can load them in the combat tracker and run them; tracking initiative and hit points (only for monsters at this time), rolling dice etc

I made a custom race (more like added one that for some reason isn't in the Eberron one can acquire) and now can't seem to use it for character creation. Is there a fix or is this on purpose?

Again better asked in #dnd-discussion but the gist of CR ratings for monsters is that it is based on 4 PCs at a certain level. So a CR 1 should be challenging for a party of 4 level 1 adventurers.

(its been a few months since I last used the site)

modest pelican
#

I think you might be misremembering, D&D Beyond has always used third-party authentication. It's used Twitch since launch, Google since April 2019, and added Apple authentication a year later in April 2020

#

Twitch sign-up was removed sometime between April 2019 and 2020, but if you registered using twitch, you can still use it to log in

When you create a homebrew race, you can select an existing one as a template. It basically makes a copy of it for you.

Then you can dig in and change whatever you like, including its resistance.

Then just make sure you’ve got Homebrew Content enabled for your character and you should be able to select your homebrew just like any other race.

# amber steeple How can I use my own homebrew race on the website?

You can create a homebrew race by going to Collections > Create Race and building the race using those tools. There is a rather thorough explanation of how to use the tools here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76031-demystifying-homebrew-updated-with-feats And many users here are happy to help with questions regarding the homebrew builders, particularly in #homebrew (you may need to opt into the appropriate roles in #880965682462875679 if you can't see that channel).

amber steeple
wanton shard
#

You can, if you've got it in your collection (either by building it yourself, being in a campaign with another user who has built it, or adding another user's homebrew to your collection if you have a subscription). Just make sure you've toggled on Homebrew Content under the character preferences

wraith mauve

I'm not sure if this is the right channel to ask this, but I'm trying to create a homebrew magic item in DDB that gives a scaling stat boost based on level. So, for example, at char level 3 it gives a +1 to a stat, then another +1 at every 3rd level, with a cap on the stat growth at 20. Is something like this even possible?

uneven lantern
#

Not as a Magic Item, no.

#

You might be able to do it with a homebrew feat, using the Options system.

Nope. Feat options don’t allow modifiers. 🧐

# limpid cedar what do the modifier and spell attack do I'm sorry I'm super new at this

This channel is geared towards questions about D&D Beyond specifically, and this question would be better suited to #dnd-rules.

However, your spell modifier (here just "modifier") is based on a particular modifier, depending on which class (or subclass) your character is. (It's a bit more complicated than that when multiclassing.) The spell attack modifier ("spell attack") and spell save DC ("save DC") are based on this modifier. You can find those calculations starting here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/spellcasting#SavingThrows

west harbor
#

Modifier = spell casting ability modifier

If you are a wizard: Intelligence modifier, warlock, bard or sorcerer: charisma, etc.

#

Meaning, if a spell calls for a roll adding your spellcasting modifier, you roll a d20 and add that number.

#

Spell attack is your spellcasting modifier and your proficiency bonus

#

Spells that roll to hit use this number to see if you beat the target's AC (armor class #)

I'm looking at streaming a game in the near future, and currently trying to decide if I'll be streaming it directly from D&D Beyond or through a secondary virtual tabletop (like Roll20); we've been using D&D Beyond to organize and plan everyone's character sheets, and I'd rather keep everything at the source if I can, but there's a few hiccups I've run into:

I wanted to use variant rules for initiative; rather than using Dexterity modifiers, I wanted to apply everyone's Intelligence bonus to init rolls. Second, I wanted to give some classes the ability to add their proficiency bonus to their initiative, to reflect the idea that they are trained for combat and should otherwise be ready for it when it breaks out.

Is there a way to make the sheet calculate these in D&D Beyond? Or am I stuck with the vanilla Dexterity modifier, thus needing me to use the other VTT?

modest pelican
#

@little plume is this issue still occurring?

#

@hardy gyro I believe it means you have an active subscription

#

@grim finch D&D Beyond currently only supports the official, primary rules for initiative and doesn't support variant or homebrew initiative systems

uneven lantern
#

You could potentially add your own Proficiency Bonus as a custom Skill.

#

Just hit the little gear icon next to Skills and add it in the sidebar.

grim finch
#

Oh, actually that's not a bad idea thonk

#

because then I could link it to int too

uneven lantern
#

You'd be able to set it to use both INT and your proficiency bonus where applicable.

#

And you'd be able to click it to roll, too.

does that make any kind of difference if I were to, say, use DDB's built-in twitch extension? I haven't used or played with it at all so I wasn't sure

If you're in a campaign together, anything in your My Homebrew Collection should be shared automatically.

Few things to check, in the following order

  1. Disable any and all extension (like, all of them, especially ones like AboveVTT and Beyond20)
  2. Disable anti-virus (this can interfere with site traffic and prevent things being sent properly)
  3. Disable VPNs (same as above)

Hi! I'm playing a UA Bronze Dragonborn, now I want to pick up the feat Gift of the Metallic Dragon, but I can't find it anywhere? Also my race says "Metallic Dragonborn (archived)", is that normal?

D&D Beyond has stopped supporting UA content. This means that unearthed arcana content, such as the draconic feats, has been archived.
Archived content can no longer be added to character sheets, but will remain on sheets that already have it added

How do i make new classes

west harbor
#

I don't believe homebrew classes are supported at this time, only homebrewed subclasses, races, feats, weapons, and some other things I likely forgot.

wanton shard
#

Magic items, not weapons. Also backgrounds, spells, and monsters. Anything you can see here can be created: https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew Classes are not available to be homebrewed on D&D Beyond currently.

I am creating a subclass and I want it to have specific spells, for example like totem barb has one specific spell, I'm just wondering how I can do this so it shows up on the character sheet?

When you add a class feature, you should see a Spells section inside. You can add it there.

#

You can also make a homebrew copy of the totem barb subclass if you want to see exactly how that one was set up.

thorn sandal
#

You can input and share homebrew content on DDB without publishing it. All you need to do is be in a campaign together, no membership for content sharing required! As for publishing it, that wouldn't be allowed as the content for the most part wouldn't be created by you and would be a copyright violation.

Not entirely sure this constitutes needing "help" but I had a weird question. On DNDB all the spells listed have a symbol attached to what school of magic they're from. Where do those symbols come from? I've never been able to find them elsewhere. Did the DNDB team design them?

I am trying to add a feature similar to superiority dice where I will have a range of abilities that I spend points to use these abilities. the player will start with 5 points and gain more as they level up.

so far I have done this by adding an action. i set the type to general, added a name, set the reset type to short rest, added some filler text in the snippet and description boxes, and left everything else blank. then I added 2 limited use datas. in the first one, I set the number of uses to 5 and the level to 1 and left everything else blank. for the second one, I set the number of uses to 10 and the level to 6 and left everything else blank.

I made a test character and I can't find the points anywhere on their character sheet. how do I get this to add to the character sheet?

Edit: i found them, but they are under Features & Traits, not actions. how do i move them to actions?

# hidden aurora Is there a way to add Saving Throw modifiers for, for example, advantage in WIS ...

Temporary effects (such as the advantage on Wisdom saved granted by heroes' feast) are not yet supported, although it's been mentioned in the past that the team would like to support this if possible. In the meantime, the best workaround that is favored by a large number of users is to create these temporary effects by adding the appropriate modifiers to a homebrew magic item, which would be equipped whenever the effect is active.

So i am trying to input a special homebrew version of the dragonborn race called the greater dragonborn (it's pretty much an upgraded dragonborn with the ability to change from cone to line for your breath weapon and there are more subraces plus you also have natural armor) and I am trying to set up the dragon breath action, but am unsure of how to set it up where it doesn't count as an attack and therefore needs an ability modifier added to it. Is that even possible for homebrewing actions?

Can you create a copy of a Dragonborn race to look at how it's done? #homebrew may be able to answer your question quicker though.

Hey guys, is it possible to put in custom feats on a character? If so, how do you do it?

Using the homebrew tools you can create a custom feat. Once it's created (does not need to be published), you can add it to your characters assuming you've enabled the homebrew content toggle on the character you're adding it to.

Ah, I see. Cheers. I'll get right on it.

So I am building a subclass for warlock and I've introduced a system similar to ki points. I have one subclass feature that sets up the point system and I will have other features that spend those points. Right now I have a feature that allows the player to heal by spending a point. Is there any way for me to rig it so when you click the button to roll the healing dice it expends a point automatically like the cast button for spells?

Ok. Thanks

Does anyone know if the homebrew bug that erased the alternate options of a race when you made a new version has been fixed?

i am trying to test some code in a homebrew subclass snippet (spsificly {{scalevalue}}) but i cant get the snippet to save right. i make the change, hit save, exit out to the 'homebrew creations' page, check to make sure the change saved (it has) then build a new character with my subclass and the change hasn't stuck. whats wrong?

This is for help with the D&D Beyond site, you'd probably want #dnd-rules or #dm-discussion

Thank you

does this /\ work in the subclass homebrew, or just the combat tracker?

I have a question that if I only buy the subclass in Player Handbook, can I use the skill that the subclass offer?

teal hawk
#

what do you mean by skill?

cyan kraken
#

My mistake, i mean the spell

teal hawk
#

so you mean if you get the subclasses in the PHB, but not the PHB itself, does that include the spells that the subclass adds?

cyan kraken
#

Yes

#

No, it doesn't. you would have to buy the spells separately as well.

uneven lantern
#

In what way is it not working?

mild pasture
#

um like i cant use the charachter creator at all its showing an error

#

from the morning

#

plus i cant look at other peoples charachter sheets same error

uneven lantern
#

What error specifically?

#

Do you get the same error if you try it in another browser? Or on another device?

mild pasture
#

yhea i am getting the same error on my phone

mild pasture
#

idk if it helps or not

uneven lantern
#

Probably not a browser issue if it also happens on your phone…

#

Are you using a VPN or other security software that would effect both devices?

Is there a way to add the bard's Jack of All Trades feature to ability checks that don't use a specific skill? If I try to roll an intelligence check from the ddb sheet (for example) it doesn't add half proficiency to the check.

I guess I could always make custom checks with half proficiency as a solution, if there's no official way to do it on the character sheet

thorn sandal
#

Yeah, custom skill checks should work as well

solemn bane
#

In regards to updating a player's custom background, We've added their skill profs and new language, but it's not reflecting on their character sheet. Is this an known issue?

i have a question regarding post in the Looking-for-players. I was given a warning by a mod about posting with "age requirements 16+" is that against the rules?

Hi - normally these sort of questions would go in #moderator-support but I’ll answer here since your post is already here 🙂

So with any of our looking for posts the rules state they cannot be exclusionary. You can have a preference for age and say something “would prefer +16 plus” but putting a hard limit on it can make the post exclusionary - which is why a moderator might have reminded you about that rule.
