how to check

[edgy oriole]

Check your browser settings wherever they handle privacy and cookies

[mild pasture]

it dosent say anything about allowing third party cookies
but the block cookies option is off

[edgy oriole]

Well now I'm stumped. Unless your Internet Provider (or antivirus?) is doing something weird to the network traffic, I don't know why you can't use DnDBeyond.

[mild pasture]

cause i could use it on day that i installed it

[edgy oriole]

Are you using the mobile app or the website?

[mild pasture]

could it be something related to the came accc on 2 devices

[edgy oriole]

Sounds like the mobile app.

[mild pasture]

first on the website '

[edgy oriole]

ah okay.

[mild pasture]

then i installed the app

the website worked but then after a while when i downloaded the app

the both of em stopped

[edgy oriole]

Okay you may need to create a support ticket here: https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=602788

[mild pasture]

thx

[solemn bane]

Encountering a weird issue where my charisma damage modifier isn't showing on my spells for my sorceror. Is that common?

Charisma modifier isn't showing on my spells damage***

[west harbor]

Most spells don't add that to the damage. See the description for Burning Hands: As you hold your hands with thumbs touching and fingers spread, a thin sheet of flames shoots forth from your outstretched fingertips. Each creature in a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 3d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

It doesn't mention anything about adding a modifier

[native shard]

how would I activate the WBtWL dice? I preordered on 8/31 and haven't seen an unlock key yet.

[wanton shard]

They would typically be released at or after the book release. As mentioned in D&D Beyond article about the perks:

Preorder your copy of The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and unlock the following perks when the book launches on September 21
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1073-get-exclusive-perks-when-you-preorder-the-wild

[native shard]

ahhh that makes more sense, thank you. I saw an add this morning that looks like it says you can get perks at the time of pre-order

[uneven lantern]

Once they are released, they’ll appear in your account automatically, too. You won’t need an unlock key.

[native shard]

ok, I'm not totally crazy. 1. DNDB sent me a email about this months perks dice and 2. when I searched how to unlock the dice I found a FB post from DnDB on oct 30 2020 that says "Pre-order Tasha's Cauldron of Everything on D&D Beyond to immediately unlock a set of cauldron-inspired digital dice to use in your character sheet! " So I then assumed that 2 plus the 1 meant I should find my dice! LOL I'll wait... not patiently... but I'll wait. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Some of them have released early in the past.

Sometimes it’s the frames early and the dice on release.

It changes from book to book, for reasons unknown.

[wanton spoke]

I purchased a master subscription, player's handbook, and started a campaign with content sharing. The characters who have joined so far do not have access to any of the shared content such as feats, is that how it's supposed to work?

[atomic onyx]

The shared features will apply to characters they make in that campaign. They can assign existing characters, or make new ones.

[steady flint]

Hi,

https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011257067-Campaign-Content-Sharing-and-You states "The Master Tier subscription allows a subscriber to turn on content sharing for up to 3 campaigns in which she participates."

However, https://www.dndbeyond.com/subscriptions states "For up to 5 campaigns."

I believe they should share the same number, as to not cause confusion and lead to false advertisement allegations.

Secondly, which number is correct?

[modest pelican]

It was originally 3 but was increased to 5 in response to the pandemic and more people playing online. It is actually 5, so I doubt people are going to make allegations of false advertising for getting too many content sharing slots

[onyx wasp]

The increase to 5 was temporary, was it not?

[steady flint]

True, but most people also won't immediately trust the company that's trying to take their money on whether they're getting more or less content

Thank you for the information.

[modest pelican]

The increase to five was stated to be temporary, but had continued, well, for obvious reasons

[modest pelican]

None of the descriptions state you will get more than you actually do. But I still pass this feedback along

[steady flint]

Yeah it's no worries since the number is the larger one. But consistency between support/marketing leads to higher consumer confidence. I'm sure you understand that. Cheers.

[hollow stream]

how do i join a campain

[naive lodge]

Support is the accurate one, you get three. That has been temporarily raised as reflected on the current subscription benefits page.

[naive lodge]

Your DM should have a join link they can give you.

[hollow stream]

i didn't get a link

[naive lodge]

Then you will need to ask them to give it to you.

[native shard]

Hi All. I asked earlier and got a reasonable question... until I saw the FB post. The FB post clearly states " Unlock the Ringmaster's dice Set WHEN you PRE-ORDER" (emphasis mine) However, I don't see any way to do so (I preordered Aug 31) help?

[naive lodge]

It's not released yet.

[native shard]

thank you, I realize that. That's not what the DDB facebook add states. please read above.

[naive lodge]

Unlocking it means you will have access when it's released.

[native shard]

Unlock the Ringmaster's dice Set WHEN you PRE-ORDER"

It clearly says when you pre-order.. now when it's delivered. Is the FB post incorrect?

[naive lodge]

Yes, and since you pre-ordered it is unlocked for release.

[native shard]

I don't believe that's how a reasonable person would read it. Is the Facebook post incorrect? Other books have released the perks with pre-order before.

[lapis geyser]

It would seem the Majority of preorder bonuses release with the content in the past, so it'd be safe to assume that trend will continue unless otherwise stated

[naive lodge]

Unlocking it does not mean immediate access. Some books have released unlocked perks early, most have not. Once the book is released you will not be able to unlock the dice, but they will be released.

[native shard]

Forgive me for not knowing who the mods actually are, but are any of the mods actually employees of DNDB?

If that is the intent, Arenlor, and I'm willing to accept it is, then someone in Social Networks needs to re-examine that post.

[naive lodge]

We're volunteers, but I'm trying to help you understand that as in the past we don't use unlocked as a synonym of released.

[native shard]

I appreciate that. But it is badly misleading and someone who has the authority to do so, needs to re-examine it.

[naive lodge]

I will pass that along, but given we have consistently used the two words for years across many posts and other non-mods have seemed to understand, it may just fall into a language barrier issue.

[little plume]

I can't seem to set my Maximum Dexterity Modifier to Armor in any section of the Homebrew Items area. Is this currently working? It doesn't seem to work in either the base area or in the modifiers.

[naive lodge]

I'd ask for assistance with that in #homebrew as that's where people who use the tools hang out and where discussion of the tools is topical.

[little plume]

@naive lodge I did and they referred me here, lol

[lapis geyser]

i believe its the Dex Mod setting next to base armor, but it doesnt let you set it to anything other than max modifier or max 2

[little plume]

@lapis geyser Yeah, I've tried it in multiple ways, but I've not been able to get it to work either by modifier or in the base area

Hell, I tried it with both in place just to troubleshoot

[lapis geyser]

What exactly are you trying to get it to do?

[little plume]

Change base dex modifier to the heavy armor I am homebrewing (from base plate) to a maximum of 2.

[lapis geyser]

I'm testing it out now, but it seems to work fine if i set the base to a medium armor like hide. waiting for the cache to catch up to see if i can get it to work if the base is plate

[little plume]

Yeah, so you can only set it a base armor of existing Medium rather than adjust Plate as you are supposed to be able to do.

I've just put it in DDB Feedback, we'll see

[lapis geyser]

So it finally loaded, Im seeing it still restrict the modifier on my end

never mind, doesn't seem to add it at all

[wet granite]

I have completely forgotten how to look up stats for monsters

[edgy oriole]

In Avrae? Or on DnDBeyond?

[wet granite]

On Avrae

[edgy oriole]

!monster <name of monster>

[wet granite]

I might not even have Avrae anymore...

I am so confused!lol

[edgy oriole]

Did you change Avrae's prefix?
Try using the suggestion here to reset it back: #ddb-avrae-help message

[sonic nimbus]

Just curious, but under Magnificent Mansion it lists Eldritch Knight and Arcane Trickster.

But those two sub classes have no way to cast that spell. So just wondering why it lists them under the spell

[west harbor]

likely since they use the Wizard spell list

[sonic nimbus]

Looking up what you just said. I searched spells by only Arcane Trickster and it lists only 18 spells, if that was the case it would probably list a bit more.
(3 of those spells are 6th or higher)

[west harbor]

the DnDBeyond website search is less than fantastic.

You might get better results using google and choosing the dndbeyond page google finds.

(not trying to say my answer is super accurate, it was just an idea)

[gilded wagon]

How do you make a check with advantage on dnd beyond on a Mac?

I think control clicking works

[median moss]

uh new player here what do the ablity scores mean?

and ehat do they do

what*

[gilded wagon]

You should read the rules
They explain it better than I could

Here they are among other things:

If I attack a dead troll do I do it with adv and crit?

Sorry wrong channel

[median moss]

[gilded wagon]

Next time you might get more responses if you ask in #dnd-discussion or #dnd-rules

[steel cobalt]

Is there a way on DDB to create a Homebrew magic item that takes away a creature's resistance to a specific type of damage? And...reduce said creature's immunity to resistance? My DM gave my PC such an item today. For reference...we are talking Fire resistance in this specific case. Thank you in advance.

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think so. Maaaaybe if the creature is you. Definitely not if the creature is your target.

[steel cobalt]

Thanks.

[uneven lantern]

Typically any effects that don’t apply to your own character sheet would just be included as text descriptions.

[steel cobalt]

Got it.

[cyan kraken]

I want to ask about Master Tier subcription that if my DM enable the share content with players. That mean our player can share content with each other ?

[final trellis]

Content Sharing is an ON.OFF toggle on a campaign. When Enabled to ON, any purchases by anyone in that campaign are shared. To use shared content you need a character in that campaign.

[cyan kraken]

Ty

[sacred breach]

If I Pre-Order a book, what time of day is it supposed to go live? Midnight my timezone or Midnight like EST?

[dawn egret]

Midnight EST IIRC but i may be wrong

[sacred breach]

Heck :/

Waiting until 4pm for the book to show up is all good though, I'll wait

Other Question: is there a way I can add UA Content to my Characters? Thinking of doing a modern campaign and having things like the Modern Magic options there would be great

[modest pelican]

You can use the homebrew tools to add it, just don't publish it

D&D Beyond doesn't natively support UA anymore

[sacred breach]

Good to know!

[modest pelican]

@naive zodiac This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond website and tools, you want #dm-discussion

[naive zodiac]

Ah gotcha. Thank you!

[lean crane]

oh quick question, the website mentions The Wild Beyond The Witchlight releasing tomorrow

does anyone know what specific time that would be? like is it midnight within a certain timezone?

[violet vortex]

I believe it has historically been midnight EST

But rarely is it exactly on the dot, so I’d refrain from spamming chats asking if the book is up.

[lean crane]

okay cool! thank you

Oh I just wanted a ballpark estimate, I'll be spamming the page refresh instead lol

[violet vortex]

You and me both lol

[uneven lantern]

Keep an eye on #dnd-social-feeds! There will be an announcement once the book is fully available.

They usually start the rollout process at midnight EST and share that tweet at the end, though you might get partial / intermittent access to the book during that time.

[ivory sable]

sorry but why can I only choose life domain with my cleric

[loud drift]

Have you bought other subclasses or the PHB through DDB?

[modest pelican]

Life domain is the only cleric domain provided as part of the (free) Basic Rules

All other domains must be purchased

[ivory sable]

Ok.

thanks

Can you please point me to a purchase with the light domain

[lime gulch]

It's the PHB.

[modest pelican]

@ivory sable one moment

You can purchase it as part of the Player's Handbook: https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

[ivory sable]

ah

[modest pelican]

Or purchase it individually if you scroll down to this part
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook#:~:text=Owned-,Light Domain,-%241.99

[ivory sable]

oh much better

tysm

[tight pilot]

quick question.
My annual (hero) subscription is up for renewal in about two weeks.
Will the plan be auto-continued (yes please) or do I need to renew/approve somewhere?

[modest pelican]

It should be autorenewed

[summer blade]

Hey, I'm curious about the discount code that we were supposed to get with this subcriber perk. Has anybody got it or know how to get it? It was supposed to be an email but i haven't got it and i saw multiple people struggling with that.

[dapper hare]

Hello! Does any one can tell me if the Encounter Builder is linked to the DDB characters sheets? Like, if a Fighter rolls an attack i can see it in the Encounter Builder or if this Fighter rolls iniatitive does the result adds to the enconter builder?

[sour tartan]

when you make a campaign link in DDB, is it possible for one to choose exactly what sourcebooks to allow access to, and to turn on and off certain ones?

[uneven lantern]

Subscriber Discount Code

Encounter Builder + Character Sheets

[hasty robin]

Hello, all. This the place to ask all the questions? 😉

[uneven lantern]

It's the place if those questions are about D&D Beyond. 👍

For general questions about the game itself, #dnd-discussion is probably a better fit.

[hasty robin]

I’m trying to add an extra feat to a character. Is this possible?

Let me try that again. In DnDBeyond I would like to add a bonus feat to a character. Is this possible?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Just go to Features & Traits on your character sheet, scroll to the bottom, and hit the "Manage Feats" button.

Campaign Content Access

[hasty robin]

Thanks. I’ll try that.

I am under class. I see action surge, archtype stuff, spells, but nothing about feats or managing them.

Maybe I’m not at features & traits.

[uneven lantern]

Not in the character builder. On the character sheet itself.

On the Class page in the character builder, feats can only be added as part of an Ability Score Improvement.

[hasty robin]

Ah, cool. I’ll go look for that.

[hasty robin]

I’m not finding it. I’m blind and using a screen reader. The app and website are both clunky and slow to navigate, I’m still looking.

Oh, hey! I think I just found it.

Thanks a lot for the right direction. I was in creation and should have been viewing.

Ok, maybe not. Thanks anyways, I’ll keep looking. Please ask them to greatly improve the accessibility of the app and website.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, when viewing the character sheet, not editing.

But I'll definitely pass that feedback along. 👍

[modest pelican]

You're best replying to the ticket thread you've created. Tickets are addressed in the order they're received, so someone will get to you, don't worry

Just do not put in another ticket, as this will result in you getting pushed down the queue due to how the system works

[timber vault]

How do you find the homebrew stuff when making charatcers?
I super recently just got dnd beyond subscription and I want to make charcters with homebrew stuff because thats basically the only thing you can do with the subscription. I have added the hoembrew to my collection and i can see it is there but it wont let me use it.
I looked on the player dissucion and some people said to exit chrome and reload but i have done that multiple times and it still has not worke

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Homebrew Content enabled for that character?

[timber vault]

yes

i already checked that too

[little plume]

I keep getting told I have no characters when I use the character command with the Avrae bot. Can someone please help?

[uneven lantern]

Have you imported any characters?

Grab your character sheet URL and try !import <url>

[naive lodge]

You may also want to send @prisma merlin !tutorial quickstart to learn more on how to use it.

[narrow latch]

Hey, i accidentally deleted one of my sheets is there any way to get it back or do i just have to rebuild it from scratch?

[naive lodge]

There is no way for you to undelete the sheet, which is why it's a two-step process.

[little plume]

I hadn't been able to import but your link worked. I'll try the tut as well thanks!!

[leaden kraken]

Hey my school's club started up last friday, and we got a ton more people then we were expecting. We've filled up four campaigns full of people to share content. My question is: is there any possible way that the 12 person limit can be expanded, or will we just have to remove those that don't come often to make room for those that do?

[naive lodge]

See what they can do: https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360000711634

[elder dagger]

what does ddb stand for?

[naive lodge]

D&D Beyond.

[elder dagger]

I just figured it out thank you anyway though lol

[unkempt iris]

you might start with some game sessions that just use the basic rules, so people can figure out if they like playing D&D and want to commit to attending often

[lean crane]

so it looks like I'm getting a bit of an issue accessing dndbeyond, with "Error 503 No healthy IP available for the backend"

is anyone else experiencing this because of high traffic or is it just me?

if its not just a website issue, does anyone know a fix?

[naive lodge]

Please hold.

@hollow fern Any luck?

[hollow fern]

yep, clearing cache and disabling beyond20 worked, though I did do both at the same time

[naive lodge]

@lean crane Do you use Beyond20 or any such extension in your browser?

[lean crane]

uhhh no

[naive lodge]

Alright, can you try to clear your cache and see if that helps?

[lean crane]

tried that

oh it was a different plugin I had installed that caused the issue

weird

[naive lodge]

What plugin was it?

[final trellis]

Which plugin?

[lean crane]

wait maybe not

I cleared cache, refreshed, and it didn't work

waited a second while checking my plugins, disabled ublock origin and refreshed again

saw that it was working

then I reactivated it and refreshed it again as a test and it was still working

[naive lodge]

Well, working is a good thing.

[lean crane]

aaand its back down

[past verge]

i assume its not me, is dnd ebyond down?

Error 503 No healthy IP available for the backend

is workin now >.>

[naive lodge]

Are you getting any specific error code beyond the 503 when this occurs?

[lean crane]

yeah it just seems to be blinking in and out

[past verge]

i could not highlight it to copy

if it happens again I will make a snip and DM you it if that is okay?

[naive lodge]

When you say blinking in and out, is the page refreshing?

Yes that's fine Ravager.

Knowing what URL and any specific error code could help track this down.

[lean crane]

its worked for a few minutes than been down again

if I get the error code again I'll screenshot it

[wraith hollow]

Am I being blind, or is the witchlight map missing?

[agile elm]

@wraith hollow Chapters 1 & 2 contain those maps!

[tall pawn]

i have an idea for a homebrew goliath that is half fire giant and half frost giant (i realize these two giants would never mate) what would be a good way to create it?

[jade gyro]

When is Wild Beyond available as an IOS d/l please ?

[modest pelican]

No eta yet, it usually takes a little longer to package it up as an app update

[jade gyro]

ty

did it only drop today?

[modest pelican]

The book only released today, yeah! As such, the app team will be working on getting the update pushed out to the various app stores

[final trellis]

As per the DDB tweet - the app will be updated at a later stage, in the meantime you can use the website to read through. The Book released less than 4 hours ago. 🙂

[lone silo]

Hi there, how far does the Content Sharing go exactly? I (PlayerA) am in a campaign with content sharing on with DM1. In that campaign is Player2. If Player2 then makes his own campaign as a DM (DM2) with new players in and he turns content sharing on also, do they get only what DM2 has purchased himself or everything DM1 has shared with him via the first campaign also? I hope this makes snese!

[modest pelican]

Uh, lemme see if I can dig out a good explanation, one second

For example
Anna makes a campaign as DM
Beth owns all the sourcebooks
Charlie owns all the adventures

Anna invites Beth and Charlie to the campaign. With no subscription between them, not content can be shared
Anna invites Dani, who has a Master Tier subscription.
Dani enables content sharing, meaning all sourcbooks and all adventurs are shared with Anna, Beth, Charlie and Dani
Anna, as DM, goes into the content management menu now that sharing is enabled. She disables sharing of adventures.
Now Anna can access everything still (as she's the DM)
Beth can access the sourcebooks, but not adventures
Charlie can access sourcebooks through sharing and adventures as she owns them
Dani can access sourcebooks, but not adventures

[lone silo]

Sorry if what I said was confusing! We have several campaigns with varying players in like a convulated chain! 😅

[modest pelican]

Content sharing doesn't 'daisy chan' though, you can't share what is shared with you, only what is owned by the people in the campaigns

So if you have players A, B and C in campaign 1, everything owned by A will be shared with B and C, everything owned by B with C and A etc

If you have players A, D and E in campaign 2, the content owned by B and C that is shared with A via campaign 1 won't be shared with D and E in campaign 2

[lone silo]

okay, that makes sense. Thank you! My husband and I are in one campaign where someone purchased Wild Beyond Witchlight, so we can access it, which is great! However, my husband wants to use the content in his own campaign also so we weren't sure if he had to buy it or not for our other players to see it. Thank you!

[modest pelican]

I hope I explained that okay

[lone silo]

You explained it perfectly, thank you so much! Husband's campaign has about 3 players from the first campaign including me, who can see the new content, but there are other players who are in his campaign, but not the first one, so we wanted to know whether they would see the content or not. You have confirmed for me that they won't, so he will need to purchase the elements he needs for them 🙂

[fathom junco]

I've got a 3rd level armorer artificer, and wanted to infuse my gauntlets with enhanced weapon, but they don't show up in the infusion list (i guess because they aren't a 'real' item). any advice?

[wanton shard]

At the moment, the best solution is to leave the infusion slot empty, and simply customize the Guardian Armor: Thunder Gauntlets action to have a To Hit Bonus and Damage Bonus of 1, representing the bonus:

[fathom junco]

awesome, same thought i had. thank you!

[fathom junco]

they don't seem to be saving when i put the bonuses in. am i doing something wrong?

[robust spear]

Is there limit to how much homebrew creations I can make in Beyond?

[wanton shard]

Nope!

[robust spear]

Alright thank you 👍

[little plume]

A friend set the Avrae bot up in a way that dice roll results rolled on D&D Beyond would also be posted on Discord via the bot, how do I do that?

[uneven lantern]

Copy your campaign URL, head to the channel you want the rolls to appear in, and use !campaign <url>

For best results, make sure your players have imported their characters and linked their DDB and Discord accounts, too.

You can have them run through !tutorial beyond for instructions.

[west harbor]

#homebrew would be a great place for this question, but someone might know the answer here in a while as well.

[void jewel]

I
Did not see that channel

Shit, sorry
Should I move all of it?

[west harbor]

You don't have to, you just might get a faster response there.

[void jewel]

I'll move it, then

[west harbor]

Really, either channel is acceptable for that question

[ebon fulcrum]

How does one increase carry weight? Is there a way to set size to large?

[uneven lantern]

You can do it through homebrew with the right Modifier.

Type: Carrying Capacity
Subtype: Large

[worldly briar]

hi 🙂 am new and just wanted to know; with dndbeyond website, if i subscribe, is that all i need to purchase to have a campaign ready to run? i have a basic understanding of dm'ing

[naive lodge]

You don't need to subscribe to start a campaign. The Basic Rules are available for free to everyone and contains one subclass for each class and some monsters. I believe there is an adventure for free too.

However the subscription only gains you some extra benefits, by itself it does not unlock any content, that will need to be purchased separately.

[worldly briar]

okay; so if i subscribe as a master and purchase an adventure from the marketplace, will i be able to use that through the website/virtual tabletop?

and stream it to them via discord

[compact moat]

where is the witchlight map?

[naive lodge]

You only need a master tier subscription to share content with them, however you will be able to access any adventure you purchase through the website and app, and many people use Discord yes.

[naive lodge]

There is one located at https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/twbtw/witchlight-carnival#CarnivalOverview

[compact moat]

ty

[worldly briar]

thanks 🙂

[little plume]

The ability to modify Heavy Armor's Max Dexterity modifier allowed isn't working in the Homebrew creator correctly. You can set it up with either the basic option first page, add a Modifier, or do both, but the Character sheet will not recognize the expanded range on the Character sheet. Tried multiple times with a natural 16 Dexterity character.

[modest pelican]

I don't believe the system recognises dex modifier on heavy armor at all because no heavy armor in the rules uses dex modifier

So although you can add the modifer in the homebrew tools, the system disregards it because RAW it's not a part of how heavy armor works

[little plume]

um

your creating a magic item that's heavy armour right?

Nuts. I have a heavy homebrew campaign I'm a part of where the DM gave us armour like that.

@little plume Yep

Theres a box near where you name it called dexterity mod

or something like that

set it to full

Yeah, it's not applying to the character sheet Night's Fall

[modest pelican]

It's important to remember that the system doesn't lock out modifiers that can't apply to the homebrew you're making; all modifiers are available all the time, even if they don't do anything

[little plume]

did you give it chance to update

So it's more of an issue with integration with the Character Sheet Davyd? And yes@little plume. Reloaded and waited several times

[modest pelican]

No, it's how the modifier system works. Heavy armor per the rules does not apply dex mod
Therefore even though the modifier system lets you add a dex mod based modifier, the system disregards it because it doesn't apply

[little plume]

I think I just understood what you actually said Davyd, my bad. Just tired.

[abstract cloud]

So after the Wild Beyond the Witchlight released, I thought I would create a version of Warduke that was more... appropriate and accurate (and more along the lines of his animated series appearance since that one made his helm have infra-red vision, adamantine armor, a spell shield, and he's a barbarian capable of raging), and I got this message at the top

Thing is, when I search for "the Optimist" on D&D Beyond, or click the link there, nothing shows up

What is the Optimist?

[viscid hound]

Try making a copy of Serpent Scale Armor maybe? It's in Candlekeep Mysteries book.

[agile elm]

@abstract cloud Can you send me a link to your homebrew? It doesn't need to be public for me to be able to view it.

[peak sapphire]

Is it normal that the newly released book still doesnt show up on my dnd beyond app (ios)?

Please @peak sapphire or DM me

[stuck gull]

Requiring accurate address info on non CC purchases is weird. Would love to hear the actual reasoning behind the decision to demand it for address, shoe size and mother's birth name..

[modest pelican]

It's normal for banks to require an address as a form of soft verification when making online purchases. The D&D Beyond marketplace can't tell if your bank requires the information until the bank attempts to process the transaction. So the options are

1. Ask for it for everyone, then package that information into the transaction and leave it to your bank to either use it or discard it
2. Not ask for it, send the request to the bank, have the transaction potentially fail (which can send up red flags on some banks as suspicious activity), then have you re-enter the details (because no system should automatically store card details) and then attempt the transaction again

[modest pelican]

Is there an update option at the top of the app on the compendium screen?

[peak sapphire]

no :/

[modest pelican]

It may be that the update has finished rolling out, it can take a little while on the apple store

[stuck gull]

I cannot see how requiring that information is justified when other stores providing very similar services do not gather that information. They happily sell their digital content for payments through Paypal without collecting very dangerous information on their customers.

[modest pelican]

We don't collect the information; none of the information you enter when paying is stored in the system when making a single transaction. We don't even surface the stored transactional information for subscriptions, which is why you can't edit your payment details currently. We take the security of our customers very seriously.

Also, my paypal account required me to provide an address when I register a card, information that paypal pushes through to the site when I complete a transaction. I've never actually made a purchase on a digital platform and not have my address requested as part of soft-verification per my bank.

This may be a regional thing and where you are located it is not the norm to require such information. However, D&D Beyond sells internationally and it's quite common for banks to request such information for online transactions.

[uneven lantern]

Do you see an "Update the list of books" button at the top of your Library screen?

I had to click that, then "Install update" before mine showed up.

(And then download the book itself)

[viscid hound]

Also, in the states I believe there is sales tax applied. I assume that's based on the address entered.

[uneven lantern]

Yes. The billing address if for card verification. The residential address is for tax calculation.

[stuck gull]

Requiring fields to be filled with information is the definition of collecting information. Beyond your and the company's word there is no guarantee the information is not stored. Breaches happen all the time and only way to truly limit your chances of getting hit is to not hand out your payment details, address, social sec, etc. unless you absolutely have to.

Paypal does require the details and they have mine. I do not give out my information to the stores themselves.

That has been enough for online purchases across the globe but for some reason is not in here. Why is DDB different from other stores that let the bank and Paypal sort out the issue instead?

Using address information and personal details would be justifiable as opt-in account recovery option.

[modest pelican]

Being UK based, I always forget that tax is a state based thing!

[modest pelican]

I don't know what to tell you, it's completely typical for online marketplaces to require a billing address for transactions and D&D Beyond is no exception

We don't collect the information, what you enter is passed to your bank for verification and that is it, nothing is stored. Yes, you only have Beyonds word for that, but I'm not sure what we could do to assuage you on that beyond giving you access to our backend and infrastructure, which is obviously not a real option.

Paypal does give the information to the stores if they request it, your delivery address will be autocompleted if you're making a physical purchase, so again I don't know what tell you there.

D&D Beyond operates in a typical fashion for an online digital marketplace and takes customer security and safety very seriously. This is part of the reason we exclusively use third party account authentication using the three largest digital presences; Google, Apple, and Amazing (Twitch).

All I can say is that if you don't D&D Beyond to process your information in a secure fashion, and believe D&D Beyond would lie about not collecting information, then it would be prudent to exercise your right to not use a service that you feel is untrustworthy. If the word of the service cannot convince you of its safety, I'm not sure what could.

[stuck gull]

Few do, many don't require to punch in your info.

Requiring fields to be filled is pretty much collecting. Collecting and discarding is an exercise of pointless labour at best and whole load of work to sort out the situation with your bank at worst.

If they request it. Yes. If they have good reason to do so, go for it. Requiring everyone to do so just in case it's needed to avert automated request for information is goofy.

Account verification through big players is very commendable. I wish payment would be as effortless..

[modest pelican]

I'll be frank, I'm not sure what your expectation is here.
You want me to tell you the information isn't required by banks as a normality? I can't because that's not true
You want me to tell you D&D Beyond illicitly collects your information? I can't because that's not true

Requiring everyone to do so just in case it's needed to avert automated request for information is goofy.
I'm not sure what security your bank offers, but most banks treat repeat requests from services with failed information as suspicious. D&D Beyond avoids that.

Ultimately, if you don't feel comfortable using D&D Beyond, it would be prudent as a savvy internet user to not user the site. No-one should use a platform they're not comfortable with.

I've provided you with a comprehensive explanation and that's all I can do

[stuck gull]

Nah. When DDB is able to get required information through Paypal anyway when necessary, why is it necessary to punch it in anyway? Most other stores don't do that and they do just fine with less peeping.

[modest pelican]

PayPal provides your bank with the billing address you've got stored on your PayPal account, so D&D Beyond doesn't need to provide it.
If you're paying by card, you need to manually provide your address.

[uneven lantern]

Is the crux of the issue merely that the address step happens before the payment step?

[stuck gull]

Yes.

Simple issue. Fix.

[uneven lantern]

So at that point, they don't know whether or not you're using PayPal.

I believe that's also tied to the tax issue.

In order to display the correct final price there -- with sales tax included -- they need the residential address to calculate it correctly.

In any case, we're just Discord mods. We don't have any direct say in that process.

But we can pass along your concerns, at least.

[stuck gull]

Much appreciated.

[halcyon plover]

i tried to pre order the witch light book and the fact its was asking for physical address information for a digital only purchase was confusing and felt unnecessary i bought stuff on roll20 recently and it didnt require all this information

ended up just waiting for it to drop on tuesday and get it from mobile app

[uneven lantern]

As mentioned above, the physical address is for sales tax calculation, and the billing address is for bank verification.

Whether one or both of those could be avoided by flagging it as a PayPal purchase sooner, I have no idea. That's above my paygrade.

My free, free paygrade. 😅

[wanton shard]

I believe the term you're looking for is 'priceless' 😉

[uneven lantern]

Usually I'm 'worthless', so that's a nice upgrade.

[west harbor]

Let's say I double your salary. How's that sound?

[rose zealot]

Is there a change log available for the updates provided to the digital books? I’m always curious as to what has been updated.

[uneven lantern]

Not usually, no.

But the latest changes are likely due to some monster and magic item updates that happened because of the newest book:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/120290-the-wild-beyond-the-witchlight-issues-and-support

[golden kite]

2*0 still equals 0

[rose zealot]

Thanks. That makes sense.

[plucky blaze]

Hi there, I recently hombrewed my own version of Abberant Mind in order to take advantage of the ability to swap out other spells from the Wizard/Warlock/Sorc spell list. I changed 'calm emotions' to 'suggestion' in the spell list. It shows up properly in my chjaracter editor for the additional psionic spell list. But when I go to my character sheet, it still is the original Abberant Mind additional spells (calm emotions). Am I doing something wrong?

[swift yarrow]

None of my second level spells and only 1 of my first level spells is showing up when I go to my spells list (well they show up on the third level but not on their given levels)

[uneven lantern]

Are you a warlock?

[swift yarrow]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

That's how warlocks work. They only ever have spell slots of a single level, which increases at certain points based on their character level.

The warlock table here will show how many spell slots you should have, and which level:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/warlock#TheWarlockTable

3rd-level spell slots should mean you're a 5th- or 6th-level character.

[swift yarrow]

Oh

[warm kelp]

hi help total noob here

[uneven lantern]

What kind of help were you looking for?

[full mica]

I'm trying to create a magic item called Bracers of Protection, which is just a bracer version of a +2 ring of protection. So, obviously, I used Ring of Protection as a template, but I can't figure out how to switch it from a Ring to a Bracer.

[modest pelican]

Bracer isn't a type of item

[full mica]

Hmm. I thought it had its own attunement slot

[modest pelican]

You want to set it to Wondrous Item

I will say, there's already an item that is a bracer version of the +2 ring of protection

https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/bracers-of-defense

[full mica]

Ohhh

Ah, that doesn't have the saving throw bonus

[burnt void]

Is it possible to use homebrew monsters in the encounter builder yet?

Oh I see it... but it's not showing my monster?

oh my lord it is

haha, n/m

[paper maple]

So my dndbeyound looks like this and stays like this on every page i open in this site

[edgy oriole]

Are you using any adblocker or VPN on the site? It may interfere with things.

[paper maple]

no

[edgy oriole]

Can you open up the dev tools (F12 or right-click -> select developer tools). In the window/sidebar that shows up, is there any red messages in the console tab?

[paper maple]

yes

[edgy oriole]

Okay - try holding down the shift key and refresh the browser window. I see some 400 errors which are usually the server saying "can't find the thing you asked for". Maybe the cache needs to be cleared.

[paper maple]

thanks a ton that fixed it

i have a game in 30 minutes and this was the worst possible time for this happen your a real life saver

[edgy oriole]

Great! Glad to help out! Have a fun game!

[paper maple]

Thx

[unreal bobcat]

Hi, I just created an account on DnD Beyond and now since log in everytime I try to load the main page, I get returned with HTTP 500 error. Acessing any other sub page works just fine and logging out fixes this issue. Logging back in throws 500 again. Any idea whats causing this?

[uneven lantern]

Did you get the same problem in another browser, or on another device?

[unreal bobcat]

Happens regularly on Opera GX, Chrome, not in Edge, happened once on android, then ok

[cedar dove]

When will the armorer subclass of artificer be correctly supported?

[west harbor]

It's not? My buddy has no issues playing armorer

not disagreeing, just looking for clarification.

[wanton shard]

The armor can't properly be split up for multiple infusions. It's a known limitation, but no ETA on when it might be made possible

[deft spoke]

Simple question, but does a ranged weapon with the "reload" feature prevent someone from attacking twice within the same turn, even if they're allowed to attack twice when taking the attack action?

[naive lodge]

That's a question from #dnd-rules. This channel if for help with the site and the Discord.

[deft spoke]

Ah, thanks. Didn't know where else to ask.

[past arrow]

My player want to play the Harefolk in Wild beyond the witchlight

If i just buy the race, can i share it with him as the DM?

[thorn sandal]

If you have a master tier subscription, yes

[past arrow]

Awesome, thanks

[thorn sandal]

just make sure you have content sharing on in your campaign with him

[cedar dove]

It's a lot of makeshift work to properly manage the multiple infusions and sometimes unclear without having the rulebook.

But once set up its good to go, just inconvenient

[open thistle]

Hi everyone, how are you? I have a q - my Witchlight races do not show up in the character creator. Why is thta?

[split stone]

Do you own the book?

[open thistle]

Yes I do

I preordered it

[split stone]

Ah then I don't know

[open thistle]

I have access to the book but I also can't see it in my purchase?

It's weird

I can also not buy it again?

That option disappeared

[modest pelican]

If you go here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace do you see a button that say 'sync entitlements'?

[open thistle]

Where is the button

?

Where is it supposed to be?

[modest pelican]

It'd be at the top of the screen if it's there

If you can't see it, that means your entitlements are sync'd

[open thistle]

ahh okay ...mmm

weird

[modest pelican]

Do you not see this

You already own this

But there's still an 'Add to Cart' button

[open thistle]

nope, I do but it doesn't show up in my purchase

I can see the whole book

[modest pelican]

Okay, that sounds like the book is being shared with you

[open thistle]

Oh that's weird - can't I not buy it myself somehow then?

Thanks so much Davyd btw

[modest pelican]

You can still buy it yourself even if it's being shared with you

But you'll only be able to use the content in the character builder when making or editing a character in the campaign that it's being shared in

[open thistle]

Thank you so much

[full wing]

Using the D&DBeyond app, where can we find the changelogs for updates to the manuals and such?

[modest pelican]

There aren't changelogs provided. They're typically minor typo fixes and the like

[plain steeple]

If you get a Error 500 with chrome, just going directly to https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-characters or another page seems to work well for me (or use another browser). You just can't get to the front page.

[modest pelican]

Any non-trivial changes (errata) will be presented on the sites forum when they occur

[modest pelican]

Are you using any extensions, plug-ins, or VPNs? I'm able to access that page directly on chrome

[plain steeple]

I am not, just basic chrome. And it works fine in firefox for example.

and it just the front page, so I can still access all the things like campain, characters and marketplace for example.

[modest pelican]

Hmm, I'm not seething that issue myself on Chrome, but a colleague has reported something similar, so the team is aware

[plain steeple]

Yeah, and going to another part of the webpage works so there is a work around if people need it. 🙂

[loud drift]

Am I remembering correctly that rollable table integration is something their working on? As in for the growing number of "roll on x trinket table" during some of the character creation stuff?

[modest pelican]

It's something the team would love to support at some point in the future. Anywhere you see a dice expression, you are able to roll that dice and have the corresponding result returned

[full wing]

Here's a question: someone in one of my many campaigns is sharing Witchlight with me, who doesn't own it. Short of asking around, is there a way to know whom?

[modest pelican]

Nope, only way is to ask

[naive lodge]

If you try to clear the cache does it help?

[ripe mist]

How long does it usually take for the Support to Review things?

[past arrow]

hello

My DM already give me access to certain book, for example RIme of the frost maiden

but i want to buy some things in it, for my player to use

how do i do it?

like the spells for example

[uneven lantern]

Questions are answered in the order they are received. How quickly yours comes up for review depends on how many people are in line ahead of you.

[uneven lantern]

You can get those here.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/adventures/icewind-dale-rime-of-the-frostmaiden

[past arrow]

oh alright thanks man

[uneven lantern]

As a more general answer, you can head to the marketplace and open up any book to see what individual content it has for purchase.

Anything you spend on those gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

So if you spend the $3.99 on that spell bundle, the book gets $3.99 cheaper.

[little plume]

is there a way when HBing a sub class to add to the range of all melee weapons and unarmed strikes?

[wanton shard]

Yep! The modifier is Bonus > Melee Reach, with a Fixed Value of however big the bonus is

[little plume]

thnks

how would I do a flight speed of walking speed halfed

[wanton shard]

There isn't currently a way to automate that, only a flying speed equal to walking speed

[little plume]

okay

[fast roost]

Hi, quick question!

When homebrewing spells, and making the modifiers for higher levels (like for a cantrip)

And inputting the number of dice

Is that the total number of dice it will be after the increase or how many dice to add?

Trying to do cantrip scaling ^^

Does this look about right?

[wanton shard]

If you're doing scaling like a cantrip, first you'll want to ensure that your higher level scaling is set to Character Level (just checking), and then you'll want that Higher Level to be the total number of dice, and also have the Scale Effect set to Additional Points, not Additional Count

So you'd have Additional Points > 2d8

[fast roost]

Okay, thank you!

How do I make sure its set to character level?

[wanton shard]

Under Basic Information, Higher Level Scaling Type

[fast roost]

Thank you again

[strange wedge]

I bought a book, is it auto shared with my players since Im the DM and have the DM sub also or do I have to click something to share it?

[modest pelican]

If you're in a campaign with content sharing, the book will shared unless the DM of that campaign disables the source

[strange wedge]

Im in a compaign i dunno if it has sharing how can I tell?

I am the DM 😛

Thank you Davyd I figured it out I had to turn it on in the campaign.

[latent apex]

There seems to be an error on my rogue/monk sheet. My unarmed strike is still being featured as a str attack that does normal dmg instead of martial arts dmg

[uneven lantern]

Are you wearing armor or a shield? Per the rules, martial arts only works without those.

[burnt void]

So... what happened to tree blights? My book copy of CoS mentions they have multiattack 4, but ddb says multiattack 2?

[west harbor]

I would ask in the Beyond server. Perhaps there was an eratta published to correct it?

Oops! This is the Beyond server

🙃

I posted it on the Avrae server just in case.

[uneven lantern]

2 is correct, per the most recent printing of the tree blight statblock in WBTW:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/twbtw/downfall#D13BigBarkless

[rain forum]

Regarding these updated printings of statblock, does wotc explicitly say that the WBTW version supersedes the COS tree blights? I'm only asking if the monster entries for Tree Blights (CoS) can be separated with Tree Blights (TWBtW)?

[uneven lantern]

They do

But you can make a homebrew version of the old one if you do want both.

Just select the current version as a template and it’ll fill in all the info.

[rain forum]

Huh, I see. Thanks! It seems that those instances are technically errata, albeit less publicized and less explicit.

[uneven lantern]

Then you can adjust it as needed.

[deft junco]

The WTBW entry mentions it understands Common and Druidic but doesn't speak either while the page for the monster itself only mentions this caveat for Druidic, implying it actually speaks Common.

[robust fable]

So unassigning and assigning. I'm asking for a friend. Say my friend set up one extra Beyond account to get past the limit to the number of characters. Some of these characters joined other people's campaigns. This friend has now signed up for the full $50 pro membership. Can he take ownership of these characters under his pro membership?

[modest pelican]

If someone unassigns a character, that character remains their's (in their character page) until someone else claims it
Once someone else claims it, they take full ownership of that character; it moves to their character page, they can edit it, remove it from the campaign, and even delete it

[robust fable]

So, my friend should sign up his old characters with a new pro campaign, unassign, then reassign?

NM, I figured it out. My friend is now legal. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

Fixed! Thanks!

[tranquil bronze]

not sure if this is the right spot to ask but does the membership ever go on sale?

[modest pelican]

There have not been to date any discounts or sales on membership

[tranquil bronze]

alright thank you ^_^

[junior echo]

Do you all have a timeline of when you'll be able to run a campaigns with their encounters through discord with a bot like Avrae?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond doesn't provide timelines or ETAs I'm afraid

[west harbor]

Using Avrae for combats is fantastic

I use it for IRL games

[junior echo]

Do they have like a trello board? I want to sub, but most of my games will be through discord, so I was just wondering what functionality is planned

[lime gulch]

You can currently use Avrae to run combat. You just can't pull encounters as is, but add the monsters individually.

[junior echo]

Right, i get that. Just wondering why use beyond at all if i can just use avrae?

[uneven lantern]

If you link your DDB and Discord accounts, you'll be able to access all your paid content through Avrae as well.

[lime gulch]

Because Avrae is a tool under D&D Beyond and allows you to use your DDB content. No DDB, no content.

[junior echo]

I'm talking why engage with the website any more if i can just use what i have

[west harbor]

Personal preference

Some prefer to roll from their sheet

[modest pelican]

We can't answer that question, that's your choice as to how you want to use the service

[junior echo]

I get it's a tool, right now they're just so far apart, it feels like you're doing the work twice

[west harbor]

Track combat manually

[lime gulch]

I still prefer searching on the site.

[lime gulch]

How is the work being done twice?

[modest pelican]

As it stands, if you link D&D Beyond to your Discord account, you'll be able to access all your owned content through the Avrae bot, as well as characters and campaigns

[junior echo]

I love the whole setup just wish it was more integrated is all

[west harbor]

And I prefer searching for most things via Avrae. Different strokes for different folks.

[modest pelican]

That would be something to share in #ddb-feedback

[west harbor]

So long as you're having fun playing DnD you're winning!

[modest pelican]

Current avrae integration covers

• content lookup, including paid content through account linking
• linking character sheets for character sheet queries and rolling
• linking campaigns for sharing rolls between the game log and discord (both ways)

[swift echo]

New here, I'm finding that I can't delete my encounters when I'm done with them. Anybody else have this problem and/or solution?

[modest pelican]

Does the encounter have a name or is it untitled?

There's a know issue with not being able to delete untitled encounters, the work around is to name it and then delete it

[swift echo]

That might be it... brb

... I feel so dumb right now. Thank you for the help

[unkempt iris]

don't feel dumb, you had no way of knowing there was a workaround 😀

[uneven lantern]

And to be fair, you should be able to delete them with or without a name.

The devs will get it fixed in time, I'm sure. 🙂

[crystal scarab]

Should have more time to work on it without the looming threat of UA

[ancient flax]

I'd you have resistance to the damage of spells and you pass a saving throw would you only take 1/4th damage on success ?

[modest pelican]

That'd be a question for #dnd-rules

[west harbor]

yes

[fading wyvern]

I’ve made a race that has subraces and for whatever reason, they don’t stack underneath the race I am currently creating so I just have the subraces mixed in with all the other races as if they are their own thing. Is there a way to get them to sit under the main race name that I’m just missing?

[wanton shard]

This is currently a limitation of subraces for homebrew races. To allow them to group together, it is best to use a standard naming convention, such as putting the race name first

[fading wyvern]

Ah okay, thank you very much, is it something that is intended to be implemented at a later date?

[wanton shard]

There hasn't yet been any indication to my knowedge* that this specific issue is planned to be remedied, but in past Dev Updates there has been vague talk about a possible eventual homebrew tool revamp. No solid information yet on that, but if a homebrew revamp is ever publicly announced on the roadmap, it's likely that there will be a features portal where suggestions like this may be placed. 🙂 *(I am certainly not perfect; if this was specifically commented on by a staff member I am not aware of it!)

[fading wyvern]

Interesting, thank you for your help, it’s greatly appreciated! ☺️

[sonic nimbus]

The fathomless warlock subclass spell list is a bit messed up on mobile

Half of them are hyperlink and the half that are are not fully for all the words

[somber tree]

Why is it not allowed to have a LFP post saying adults only? I see mods saying it excludes people based on age but isn't that the point? It's not ageism to want to run a mature campaign and properly tag it. To be clear, I mean "mature" in the thematic sense as well as emotional.

[rocky loom]

Hi

I wonder how to add spellcasting in the barbarian subclass that I homebrew

Because i do not see any spell in my character sheet

[modest pelican]

You can express a preference, say "over 18s ideally" but you can't outright exclude any group in your post. It's not like we're gonna to force you to accept under 18s, but we won't allow any kind of exclusionary post

[modest pelican]

You can't add spellcasting to a subclass if the class doesn't already have a spellcaster subclass to copy

[onyx wasp]

Give the subclass a feature called 'Spellcasting' and set the fields to something like this. The only caveat is that you cannot make it follow any spell slot progression other than a 3rd-caster like Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight.

[rocky loom]

Ah well they follow the 3rd caster like Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight

[wicked badger]

Is there a way to add a Dark Gift to a character's sheet on Dndbeyond?

[lapis geyser]

other than homebrew, not currently

its part of the general features system thats being worked on

[wicked badger]

Ok, thank you. I thought I just wasn't figuring it out. One of my players wants the Living Shadow and I've spent entirely too much time trying to figure it out.🤣

[strange wedge]

Is there some way to choose who a spell targets on ddb? like could I cast a buff on myself and ddb auto update my character sheet?

[crystal scarab]

D&D Beyond doesn't track effects that come as a result of the spell on the sheet.

[west harbor]

Avrae does (for most spells)

[edgy oriole]

(assuming they use Avrae's initiative functionality)

[livid quest]

with the encounter tracker on dndbeyond, is there a way to auto roll initiative that is separate for each monster? when i have 3 creatures of the same type for example, and i click auto roll initiative, it gives all 3 of them the same initiative. is there a good way to do this other than just manually rolling for each creature and applying it while the encounter is running?

[modest pelican]

You have to add them three times, rather then increasing their quality to 3

[livid quest]

Ah okay that makes sense

Thank you!

[strange wedge]

Theres a player in my campaign. her die rolls dont show in discord like everyone elses. Any way to fix this? her discord is linked when she types !ddb it says everything is good. and her character was imported.

[crystal scarab]

Do the last four numbers on the site match the discord tag?

[strange wedge]

I dont understand what you are asking me

[crystal scarab]

Sometimes on the D&D Beyond site, the first part of the discord tag will be right, but the four numbers following the # won't be

[edgy oriole]

They should log into their DnDBeyond account and make sure their Discord profile is correct - under their account the Discord profile should list the account with 4 digits at the end. They should make sure that it actually matches their Discord profile.

[west harbor]

ShyLittleMuffin__#0202 __ these numbers, this site https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[edgy oriole]

Also make sure they are not using an extension like Beyond20 (can interfere with the functionality).

[west harbor]

Was that your issue?

[strange wedge]

and if the numbers are diff how do they fix it? unlink and relink?

[west harbor]

Yes. Correct it via beyond

[strange wedge]

yes the numbers are the same

her tag is right

[edgy oriole]

In the character option (gear icon by the profile pic of the character) check the game log settings - you can configure the rolls to be shown to everyone, to DM only, or keep private.

[west harbor]

So...

1. Dndbeyond.com and Discord accounts linked.
2. Campaign linked to a discord channel.
3. Character imported to Avrae and in the linked campaign.
4. No extensions running at all in your browser.

[strange wedge]

I have no idea its still not working for her.

those things all seem fine.

[buoyant onyx]

hey im guessing there is no way of changing your race to monsters like dragons from true polymorph but just want to make sure

[dawn violet]

You would probably use the stat block of the creature you chose, much like druids do with wild shape.

[solid merlin]

I see the pinned post on "Tasha's Cauldron of Issue Resolution" was last edited Feb 12, 2021. Is there a more recent list of fixes I can look at?

[sudden jolt]

So I got two versions of the same homebrew subclass that I made, except in the character creator neither version is labelled, how can I identify or remove the old version? I removed it from my collection but it is still there!

This also implies if I make more edits and versions they'll all be listed as well, is there any way to ONLY show the latest version?

[modest pelican]

@sudden jolt It might be worth checking you're actually removing them from your collection, as only homebrew in My Homebrew Collection should be visible

Also you should at most only see two versions; the published old version and the unpublished new version

If you're seeing more than those two versions, double check you're using the 'create new version' option, rather then creating a new homebrew and using your existing homebrew as a template

[sudden jolt]

What I have in my collection

As you can see it's the only entry

There are currently only two versions

The latest version seems to be published

The old version has been removed from my collection

Okay it finally took what I tihnk is the old version away, it just took a few hours to go away, weird

[modest pelican]

Ah, the homebrewers bane; caching

Due to how the system works, changes can take a while to propagate from the homebrew system to the character sheet service

[hollow spindle]

is there a setting to hide the upcast versions? as a cleric it has definitely made it very hard to find spells and I have quickly found I'd rather upcast using the sidebar

[uneven lantern]

There is indeed!

Turn off “Show Level-Scaled Spells” in your character preferences.

[sick current]

My friends are having difficulty entering my campaign online. When they use the link and they use google to log in, they are told they can not log into the shared campaign.

They are not in another campaign. Google seems to be blocking the ability to log into the campaign

[west harbor]

They should log into their account then click the link to join the campaign.

[sick current]

Is there a link they can see in their account?

[onyx wasp]

There's no such thing as "logging into a campaign". 🤷 They log on to the site. Then they follow the link you send them. Probably in that order.

[sick current]

@onyx wasp when they use the suggested link, and they are not logged in, they are asked to log into their account via google, Facebook, or Twitter. When they use google, they are told they cannot log into the shared campaign

[onyx wasp]

Log in first?

[digital rover]

i've been having a problem with my only homebrew item, i can't share it due to it being similar to the deleted version i made before it

[west harbor]

Is your campaign full?

[uneven lantern]

Published homebrew cannot be deleted. If you want to republish it, you should update the version rather than creating a second, separate item.

And if it’s just for use in your own campaign, you don’t need to publish it at all.

It will be shared with your group automatically.

[digital rover]

i don't think i did publish though, i had both as private and deleted the first version because i didn't know how to fix it properly

[uneven lantern]

Then when you say you “can’t share it”, what do you mean exactly?

[digital rover]

whenever i look at it in my creations, i get this:

as for the deleted one, it says this:

[uneven lantern]

The good news is that if this is for private use like you said, you can just ignore that warning entirely.

Those only apply if you’re attempting to publish to the entire community.

[digital rover]

fair

[uneven lantern]

If that’s the same as the official Moon-Touched Sword, you probably shouldn’t publish anyway.

[digital rover]

i made the quarterstaff just for my monk, because the dm gave me one and i noticed there wasn't one already

[uneven lantern]

Then yeah, you should be able to use it on your own character already, with or without the warning.

[digital rover]

alrighty

Hello there! Can someone please help me find out what am I missing? Items from the Lost Laboratory of Kwalish adventure are not showing up in the inventory management. It is enabled in the content management of the campaign.

That worked, thank you very much! (never used such items before 🙂 )

[neon vine]

Is there a way to remove the additional text added by weapon type on homebrew weapons? For example, the entire Reload and Misfire details on any weapon based on Bad News?

[wanton shard]

I'm afraid not. Any mundane item has its extra text carried along automatically

[neon vine]

There's also no way to make a weapon entirely custom, right? It has to be based on something else?

[wanton shard]

If it's an actual weapon, then yes, it has to be based on something else. And there is no way currently to make an entirely custom weapon (though the team is well aware of the desire to do this).

[neon vine]

So it's likely to be implemented in the future?

[wanton shard]

It's possible. The likelihood is uncertain. Though if there ever is an overhaul to the homebrew system, at the very least this might be kept in consideration during that process

[naive lodge]

If you mean in the app, I believe it's usually posted to the forums when it's a major update. Most are minor updates fixing things like minor typos or incorrect links.

Due to how the files are packaged, there is no delta update. The entire thing needs to be updated. It includes not just the book but also all the listings data along with it.

If there is not forum post stating what changes were made, then it was just minor updates.

[wanton shard]

There were a handful of monsters and magic items that received updates, mentioned in the Wild Beyond the Witchlight Issues & Support thread, which probably explains a handful of the book updates: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/120290-the-wild-beyond-the-witchlight-issues-and-support

[junior echo]

So I'm using avrae, and after a battle is complete, I'm wondering how do I allocate xp. I was assuming I do it on the character, but the website only seems to show the ability to mod by level? Sorry, I was trying to search but xp gives a thousand different things.

[grim breach]

Hey, I couldn't really find a place that confirmed this, but if I'm the GM of a campaign and I remove a character, that doesn't delete the character from that users account, right; it just removes that character from the campaign?

[rain forum]

Yes, only its current owner can delete the character.

[grim breach]

Cool, thanks. I realized I'd never done that before and panicked.

[gaunt dove]

It's no big drama, but does anyone know how get Beyond20 to recognise there's two attacks in a Homebrew monster's actions? I've seen it done on others' Homebrews. E.g.

"Lightning Breath (recharge 5-6). The rat exhales lightning in a 30-foot line that is 5 feet wide. Each creature in that area much make a DC 12 Dex saving throw, taking 7 (2d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half on a successful one.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d42) piercing damage and 3 (1d6) lightning damage"

gets me (this picture) when I want the red [B] Bite box also but can't work out how.

[naive lodge]

You will need to ask the developer, Beyond20 is completely unsupported by us.

[gaunt dove]

Yeah, I'd've started there but I see practically every other Homebrew Monster creator under the sun seems to have it working, e.g. attached, so wasn't sure if there was some minor thing in the wording that the community knows I've got wrong with my text

The friend who got me into this' never made anything Homebrew

[gaunt dove]

Solved - it needed to recognise there was a paragraph break between the two actions. I have a habit of pressing shift when dropping paragraphs due to messenger which had avoided it inserting <p> and </p>. Picked it up after looking at Beyond20's FAQ, cheers @naive lodge!

[opal pelican]

You have to change your leveling up style to Exp instead of Milestone which is the default.

Thank you

[mild vector]

is it possible to move a character that i own into a campaign i run as a unassigned character? or do i need to recreate the character within the campaign?

[modest pelican]

Nope, you can move the character

Is the character already in a campaign?

[mild vector]

no, they're not yet

(sorry for the later response, discord didn't toss a notification)

I figured out a way to do it (not sure if it’s the intended way, but it worked)

[lavish lark]

Was their a blog post about the changes to the Hero Tier not being able to share content to 3 campaigns? Master Tier is now the only one and I just changed my monthly Hero Tier to Annual. Kinda messed up my game last night…

[opal pelican]

I didn't think you could ever share official material with Hero tier?

[modest pelican]

@lavish lark Hero tier has never allowed content sharing, it's always been a Master Tier only feature

[lavish lark]

Weird, I’ve been able to share with 3 campaigns for about 6 months.

[west harbor]

Maybe it was someone else in your campaign with Master tier

[modest pelican]

That doesn't sound correct, because content sharing has been 5 campaigns, not 3, for some time now

It sounds like maybe you're in several campaigns that have content sharing enabled by another master tier users

Easy way to tell if you do have content sharing as part of your subscription. Go to my campaigns (https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns) and see if any of them say "Content Sharing Enabled by [Your Username]"

[grim breach]

Are there any books for DND 5e that Wizards has released that DND Beyond doesn't have available yet?

[modest pelican]

All published hardcover books are available on D&D Beyond, as well as many (but not all) extra life titles

[versed flax]

Our DM purchased and shared a couple of the sourcebooks with our campaign, and it seems like I have access to them to read, however my character creation options seem to be limited to the free version still

[modest pelican]

Are you making/editing a character within the campaign? Content sharing doesn't extend to characters outside of the campaign that has sharing enabled

[versed flax]

That seems to be the issue actually, thank you

[quasi moss]

Are sourcebook prices listed on the DDB app converted to local currency or listed as USD? I noted that Curse of Strahd through the app is $34.99, while it is $24.99 USD on the DDB website. For clarification, I’m in Canada.

Was curious where the additional $10.00 was coming from through the app.

[grim breach]

I'm not familiar, extra life titles?

[modest pelican]

One Grung Above, The Tortle Package, Locathah Rising etc

[grim breach]

Oh ok, gotcha. Thanks!

But wait, I thought DND Beyond does have those...? At least I have all three of those specifically in my sourcebooks section to choose from

So I guess they caught up and have everything now, or is there something else that might be missing?

[modest pelican]

I was listing some of the extra life titles ddb does have, sorry

[grim breach]

Oh lol, ok gotcha. I'm trying to figure out what they might be missing so I can get them directly from WotC. At least assuming Beyond isn't going to be adding them anytime soon.

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond has had ever book at time of release for several years now, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean be "caught up"

[grim breach]

Oh ok, you had said they have many of (but not all) of the extra life titles. So I wasn't sure what would be missing of those.

[modest pelican]

Ah, gotcha

[icy ledge]

It's just something I noticed, but is Circle of Spores like a base for homebrew restricting? I don't know if it's a coincidence but when I make a lot of homebrew subclasses, I can't publish them because it says it's too similar to Circle of Spores even when it's completely different

[modest pelican]

It's not a base, that's just a limitation with the automoderation system. Certain errors return that message rather than a more specific one

[icy ledge]

Got it, thanks, it was just something I was wondering because I saw it a lot

[modest pelican]

@grim breach D&D Beyond currently doesn't offer the following official PDF releases from Wizards of the Coast:

• The Lost Kenku
• Return to the Glory
• Domains of Delight

[grim breach]

Oh awesome, thanks! I'll have to pick those up then. I hate having those disputes with some players that say this or that is in the official rules or not and not have them myself to determine that or not.
And I'm assuming there's no known plan to add those to DND Beyond any time soon? Cause I'd rather wait and get them on Beyond instead if they are.

[modest pelican]

I'm afraid I don't know, sorry

[grim breach]

All good. Thanks a lot! This helps plenty

[fierce zinc]

Hi all, New DM / D&D Beyond user here so I apologize if this is an overly asked questions. (I couldn’t find it in an FAQ)

There is a class on D&D Beyond called Blood Hunter by Matt Mercer. I am starting a new campaign and have a player who would like to use this class.

I can’t figure out how to make this class selectable for my player during character creation.

If it matters, we don’t pay for any D&D Beyond subscriptions right now since we are trying to learn the platform.

[modest pelican]

They have to enable Critical Role Content to access the Blood Hunter

[fierce zinc]

Ah that was super simple. I see it available now. I thought it was a home brew issue.
Thank you! @modest pelican

[grand forum]

Will the new Jan bundle be available on ddb?

[edgy oriole]

Right now it's a TBD.
I'm sure DnDBeyond staff will announce it if it is coming and when to expect it (if it is).

Since it's really a reprint of existing books (well the MMM book would be "new") I think there's a lot of questions of how that will work with DnDBeyond.

If that was directed at me, then yes.

is there a way to create weapons without basing it on a already existing weapon? I would like to implement the advanced Weapons of Grim Hollow into my campaign and well... a fighting chain is not comparable to other weapons and there era 3 versions, 2 make 1d4 and 1 makes 1d6 damage.

[naive lodge]

The homebrew system does not support that.

[indigo wagon]

ok sad, but thanks for the answer

[uneven lantern]

It might be easier to create them as custom actions directly on the character sheet. Just go to the Actions tab and hit the Manage Custom button in the top right corner.

You can create a rollable attack with that.

I have bought egtw awhile back with the intention of being a hollow one. Though once I tried to pick the race it was no where to be seen someone please help.

[opal pelican]

It's the first option when you go to make a character after you select "standard".

[dapper nacelle]

Yeah I’ve had it marked

You cannot purchase optional rules ala carte - in order to get access to them, you need to puchase the entire book.

So I'm not sure if this the the right place to ask this or not, but, here goes...

1. Roles are being used and you can set them in #880965682462875679. They will determine what channels you see
2. What do you mean regarding the Discord TTS feature? We don't allow users to send messages to be read aloud as that would be easily abusable, but the 'speak message' feature should work as that's controlled user side
   @hasty robin

[ember nebula]

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask this...sorry if it isn't. Did DDB stop accepting Google play balance as an acceptable payment on the app? I've used it in the past but was unable to use it today; i got the message "unavailable to be used in this app". I typically save up money from surveys to use on DDB because I wouldn't be able to buy the books otherwise. Thanks for the help!

[crystal scarab]

Just a quick question: For magic items which give a bonus to damage in certain situations, why is it displayed as damage that always happens when looking in the attacks section?

Asking because I don't really see the purpose in general of the bonus damage in any case if it's not rolled. In the situational damage cases, it really messes with Avrae, so just wondering what the reasoning behind that is.

[hasty robin]

Ah. Thank you. I’ll pick roles and look for more info on the speak message feature. Again, thanks.

You can create a custom item called silvered ammunition and adjust the quantity

That's because ammunition stacks, so you can't have two separate groups

Click 'Manage Inventory', then 'Add Custom Item'
The item will appear in 'Equipment', from there you can customise it

[hazy gazelle]

Can anyone advise on a little tech support? I am logged in to the D&D Beyond app (iPhone) and also the D&D Beyond website (on my laptop). My app has a Library button at the bottom which then gives me access to download lots of e-books, apparently free since I haven't purchased anything yet. But I can't find where on the website I am supposed to go to find that same Library list. Where is it?

I looked under Sources at the top of the website. There is definitely not a 1:1 correlation between the website and app. For example, the app offers free downloads of the Basic Rules and the Elemental Evil Player's Companion (to the mobile device). The Basic Rules is listed under Sources on the website, but not as a download. In fact, the Elemental Evil Player's Companion doesn't even show up in a search of the website.

[unkempt iris]

I think there aren't really 'downloads' on the website, you can just click on the Basic Rules and read them. You're right that there isn't a "Library" section on the website, though, that is definitely a little confusing

If I have the actually PHB (which I do) is there a way to get the one in BBD for free?

[modest pelican]

Nope, D&D Beyond and Wizards of the Coast are separate companies. To access any book on D&D Beyond you have to either buy it through D&D Beyond, or have it shared with you via content sharing

[wise yew]

That's what I thought

[modest pelican]

You can alternatively use the homebrew tools to copy the content from your book into D&D Beyond, as long as you don't publish it

[wise yew]

I figured

[stark thicket]

Hello, so the content sharing feature isn't working on one of my campaigns. I tried to disable it, to then enable it again, but I got this error message when I tried.

[naive lodge]

When did you start your subscription?

[stark thicket]

For some reason I have two active, one of them was bought July 14th, the other July 17th both from this year

[naive lodge]

You'll want to contact support then.

[stark thicket]

At least, this is when they were last billed, I'm not sure when they started

Ok, good to know. Thank you

[queen mural]

hey, im making a custom dnd weapon for my players and i was wondering if there was a way to change the damage dice a weapon deals?

[onyx wasp]

Not currently. You can change the type though.

[queen mural]

aah, rip

[random remnant]

Hey guys! Had a quick question: is there any way (on the DnD Beyond Website) to just see what content I own/have purchased?

[final trellis]

The issue is most likely related to whether you have an active character in the campaign. If your charatcer joined is deactivated then you wont be able to enable/disable sharing

[stark thicket]

Thank you! It worked!

[sonic nimbus]

Can't seem to figure this out

I have a homebrew fairy race.

It has innate waking speed set to 25
And inmate flying speed set to 25

But on character sheet both show up as 30 ft.

[edgy oriole]

Any equipped magical items that improve your movement speed? Or any class/subclass features that improve movement speed?

[sonic nimbus]

There is not that I can tell

[edgy oriole]

In the character sheet view (not in the edit mode) when you click the movement box can you click the "Customize" option underneath and see if there is any customizations/overrides?

[sonic nimbus]

There is not any overrides

I figured it out.

My bad. I didn't realize there was an option at top of creating a race that set walking speed.

[ruby bramble]

ok so i was creating a cleric subclass, and i was wondering how i create a domain spell list. is there a way for me to do like in the books and spread the spell out per level?

[tiny comet]

uhh

why can't I put custom items into containers?

[edgy oriole]

They haven't gotten that functionality implemented yet.

[edgy oriole]

You might try opening up a copy of an existing subclass and see how they implemented it there and use that to guide your homebrew creation.

[desert heath]

Is character builder broken for anyone else right now?

Oh. It works in Chrome, but it's broken in Safari

This is what I get after clicking "Standard" Creation Method or try to edit an existing character

[west harbor]

The first question always involves extensions

Do you have any running?
Can you turn them off?

Clear cache

[crystal scarab]

Last I checked you can't have extensions in Safari

[west harbor]

Unplug the whole internet and wait 5 minutes before you turn it back on.

the whole internet

[edgy oriole]

Safari has something like extensions but they're much more... constrained.

[gaunt bloom]

Safari, Firefox, and Chromium browsers use different Web development standards. It's possible an update to either the Safari browser or the website broke something when viewing the site in Safari. I've passed a message to the team about it. In the meantime, try a Chromium browser or Firefox.

[sleek sleet]

How do I level my dndb character

[uneven lantern]

Head back into the character editor. In the Class tab, there’s a level dropdown beside the class name.

[sleek sleet]

This is what I see I’m confused

[uneven lantern]

Ah. You can’t do it directly in the app yet. You’ll have to do it on the website.

[sleek sleet]

Thanks I did it

[edgy oriole]

Click the red squares to bring up the sheet and select the "View Character on Website" link to open it up in a browser view where you can select the "Manage Levels" functionality through the website.

[little plume]

any ideas ?

[uneven lantern]

Is that in Safari?

[little plume]

yes

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, someone else had that same issue earlier today. ☝️

That user was able to use another browser to access the site.

The devs are aware of the issue, though.

[little plume]

and that was it

thank you

[sonic nimbus]

Interesting bug.

If you look up summon fey on mobile app it lists it as a bard spell. But on website version it doesn't list it as bard.

(In Tasha's it does not list it as bard spell)

[fathom mauve]

so, there's no way to add custom item into container other than equipment?
i wanted to add 2lbs of flour into sack container. i added custom item, but it always added to equipment and can't be moved

[edgy oriole]

They have not yet developed support for adding custom items to containers - we are basically seeing the first steps of containers and there's lots more left to do.

[little plume]

why do half the exandria guns have explosive trait in description but not the trait it's very confusing.

[modest pelican]

How do you mean?

[little plume]

The musket lists the exlposive trait in it's description but isn't ment to have it

So does the Pistol and Palm Pistol

And blunderbuss

[modest pelican]

All the exandrian weapons list all the traits unique to the exandrian weapons

[little plume]

Bad news doesn't nor does pepperbox

[modest pelican]

Ah, I see what you mean now

[violet vortex]

Only the Hand Mortar from Exandria has Explosive

iirc

[modest pelican]

I'll pass that along

[little plume]

If you look on the page nearly all of em have it in their description.

[modest pelican]

@little plume This has been fixed; bad news should have had the explosive description as per the source material all guns include all the property descriptions.
Bad news has been fixed

[little plume]

Cool

[raven horizon]

So I have 4 levels in swordbard and 1 in hexblade for a total of 5 levels but for some reason I can't use boomingblade's 5th level strength

And further more the xp counter is saying from 4th to 5th lvl

Am I missing something about multiclassing?

[opal pelican]

Can I see your sheet?

[opal pelican]

My guess is either you haven't leveled yet or you maybe are mistaken about the damage booming blade does?

[raven horizon]

https://ddb.ac/characters/59231392/x2pWmm

[west harbor]

did you add a level without updating your xp?

I thought it updated the xp on its own when you leveled but maybe there is some setting that changes that

[sonic nimbus]

Is there no way to set a cost when creating a homebrew potion? (For Instance, Potions of Healing have a cost, and when I used it as a base, it does not seem to let me set a price unless I am missing something

[sharp hazel]

i experimented with using a potion of healing at a template for a new magic item and I don't see a field for editing the price. It doesn't look like there's a way to set a price. Perhaps the best you can do is add that in the 'additional info' field.

[opal pelican]

You need to set your exp to the right amount. Why do you have it set to only 2700? You need a total of 6500 to be level 5.

[little lance]

so my players are again having issues with seeing any official content. this is my paladin

nvm, my campaign had stopped sharing content sorry

[unkempt iris]

what does this mean?

[solid kestrel]

your XP is mismatched.

You're level 5, but only have the XP of a level 4.

[unkempt iris]

so @raven horizon it looks like you gave yourself a level in warlock without adding the XP to get to level 5 first

[solid kestrel]

in wizard

just mouse over the arrow

[unkempt iris]

if you want to use milestone advancement instead of tracking XP, you can do that on the 'Home' tab of the builder

[unkempt iris]

this makes sense! it would be cool if there was a tooltip or something here that explained that

[solid kestrel]

if you just mouse over it there should be one

[unkempt iris]

unfortunately no, I don't see one 😦

[cosmic moth]

so im having a issue pulling up my characters. i cant seem to go into any of my character sheets. (it has seemed to have fixed its self)

[sharp hazel]

I'm creating a race trait with some cantrip options. I'm trying to add an hb spell to the first option. I've added it to my hb collections but it's not showing up on the list. Do I need to do something else to get it on this list?

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/734270-power-beam

[onyx wasp]

Someone will have to confirm, but I don't actually think you can add other people's homebrew spells to your own homebrew. 🤔 Only your own.

[sharp hazel]

The spell is from a hyrule campaign setting on dandwiki - so I could just create my own copy of the spell then. I'll try that

[plain axle]

How do I add racial traits..?

[sharp hazel]

You should see this big blue button if you're in the editor.

[plain axle]

I’ll see what can do.

It says that I’m in the editor.

[sharp hazel]

Try widening the window. the website likes to make things vanish if the window is too small.

[plain axle]

I’m on iPhone, sadly

Nevermind.

I just flipped my phone and it appeared, thank you.

[uneven lantern]

Please also keep in mind that you can only publish your own original work.

It’s fine to recreate those for private, personal use though.

[plain axle]

I’m making a full Orc race for a character idea, I don’t know if that would qualify

I also finished the subrace, but it says this.

[violet vortex]

Full orcs already exist

[plain axle]

For a playable race for myself, as I said.

[violet vortex]

Yep, it exists as a playable race. In fact, it exists in three separate iterations.

[plain axle]

On DNDbeyond. For a person that doesn’t pay for the website.

[plain axle]

Could somebody please help with this?

[sharp hazel]

Thanks for the information. In this case, the individual who published the spell is not the creator. It belongs to whoever put together the hyrule campaign setting on dandwiki. I was able to resolve the issue by making my own version which I'll keep private for my campaign.

[sharp hazel]

what are you trying to do? Those are just red flags for public publishing. It looks like the race editor is waiting for you to create subraces or tell it that there are none.

[plain axle]

I’ve created the subrace and it shows up when I look at it.

My question is why does it still mark it as a red flag?

[sharp hazel]

you might have to check your subrace for red flags. maybe some missing info

[plain axle]

I could show you what it is, if the problem would be able to be seen from there?

It doesn’t show any errors when I look at the subrace itself.

No red flags so far.

[sharp hazel]

mm.. not sure then. this is my first day tinkering with beyond.

[plain axle]

Alright, but still, thank you for the help.

[west harbor]

You could ask in the #homebrew channel.

The people in there might have better knowledge.

[uneven lantern]

Can you try to click Save again from the main race page? That should retrigger the validation process.

But if it’s for private use, you can just ignore those warnings entirely.

[plain axle]

I’ve assumed it was because I only had 1 subrace, so I’m making another one right now.

[uneven lantern]

The validation only applies if you’re publishing it to the global community.

[edgy oriole]

There have been reports that Safari is experiencing issues with the site. The devs are aware and probably investigating it.

[arctic ledge]

what do i do in D&D im really new to it

[opal pelican]

@arctic ledge Checking the pins in the #dnd-discussion channel is a good way to start. Or just watching youtube videos by searching "what is DnD"

[arctic ledge]

ok thank you so very much

[urban bolt]

Having a problem with the character creator. I'm on a MacBook, and when I click standard it goes into endless reload page cycle.

[edgy oriole]

Are you using Safari? There's been reported issues with Safari and DnDBeyond. You might want to share the details of the issue in the forums to help the devs figure out what exactly is causing the issue. In the meantime, I suggest trying a different browser.

[urban bolt]

Yeah. Using safari. First time ever having an issue

[edgy oriole]

It is an issue that appears to have cropped up with the latest Safari updates. See https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/121791-unable-to-view-character-sheets-on-macos-safari.

[split fulcrum]

what should i put for looking for dm?

[naive lodge]

There is a pinned format we ask you to use.

[crystal pagoda]

If I were to buy say the Eldritch Knight Archetype by itself, but later decide to buy the Player's Handbook in its entirety, do I need to pay full price for the book?

[crystal scarab]

You'll get the book reduced by the price of the Archetype I believe

[crystal pagoda]

Ah got it. Thank you.

[mint dragon]

Im having a problem, I own both Tasha's Cauldron, and Mythical Oddesy, and am currently building a bard for a new campaign. While doing so I leveled it to 3, and am now trying to make the character a College of Eloquence bard, however the option is not there. I have every other college available to me, just not College of Eloquence, is there a reason for this?

[uneven lantern]

Have you turned on “Magic: The Gathering Content” in your character preferences?

[river obsidian]

I do remember having Fairies available as species option, as I have created one in the past. (I think they came in with the Tashas sourcebook?) However now I appear unable to create such and also can't move a fairy created in another campaign to a new one. Why did the Fairies, as they were, removed from selectable species?

[mortal field]

previously, they were a UA option, but the UA version was taken down when the Witchlight book came out, because their final version was printed in it, and you need to buy that book (or just the race from its marketplace page) to access it

[river obsidian]

I see. So now you need to purchase adventures in order to get content that should be coverd in the 'sourcebook' package?

[dawn egret]

one, adventures are not sourcebooks.

two, bundles have only ever given you what was available at the time, with a discount on future purchases.

[river obsidian]

Species are resources, belonging in sourcebooks.

[dawn egret]

And yet, fairy wasn't printed in a sourcebook.

it was printed in an adventure.

[river obsidian]

Yeah, hence my previous statement.

[raven copper]

What about Hobgoblin of the Feywild?

[dawn egret]

the point is, you have to buy the adventure itself (or just go to the marketplace and grab the race directly as a piecemeal option)

[dawn egret]

wasn't printed.

[mortal field]

stopping UA support has nothing to do with money, it's to do with focussing of efforts

[raven copper]

because there was already a hobgoblin and they wanted you to spend money to play as a hobgoblin

but why stop UA

[mortal field]

wotc will still make UA

[dawn egret]

because trying to implement UA when they have three book's worth of features to STILL implement isn't a valuable use of time or resources.

and the last several UAs have required them to actually try and code NEW stuff instead of just fixing what they have.

[mortal field]

ddb won't support it because it's starting to mean they'd need to work on implementing functions that might not even make it to print
