oh oops sorry didn't see it initially

#

Do we know if the updated monster stat blocks in 'Mordenkainen's Monsters of the Multiverse' will auto update on D&D beyond, or if there will be a toggle on the stat block to see the different versions?

modest pelican
#

There has been no information given about those products so far

uncut compass
#

Fair enough, its a recent enouncement. I'll keep an ear out. thanks Davyd!

jade mirage
#

Is there a way to hide homebrew monsters from my players?

wanton shard
#

If they're in your Creations but not your Collection, your players won't see them. You can remove from your Collection and then add back only when you need to build an encounter; once an encounter is built, you can remove it from your Collection again

jade mirage
#

so when I create one, just be sure to remove it from my collection

wanton shard
#

Correct

jade mirage
#

speaking of which, I should assume anything in my collection is considered player viewable?

wanton shard
#

In some place or another

modest pelican
#

Anything in My Homebrew Collection can be viewed by anyone you share a campaign with

modest pelican
#

That'd be a rules question for #dnd-rules
This channel is for getting help using the site, it's tools and features

rustic cairn
#

can i have help putting battle master on my character sheet

crystal scarab
#

First question's gonna be: Have you purchased the PHB, Battle Master, or are you in a content sharing campaign?

rustic cairn
#

nope, i'm broke

#

42 dollars to my name and foods more important than dnd

crystal scarab
#

You only get access to Basic Rules content without any of the content bought, or by being in a campaign with content sharing

rustic cairn
#

yeah, but can't i just manually edit the pdf

#

thats what i'd like help with if you would be willing to give up the time and effort of helping a noob like me

#

I just don't know how to write it

modest pelican
#

This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond website and tools
Editing a PDF falls outside of that

crystal scarab
#

I can guarantee you there are videos that teach you how to fill out a character sheet tho, so good luck blobsalute

rustic cairn
#

okay

#

to youtube it is

#

have a good one lads

inner lagoon
#

how do I purchase a race on the marketplace?

modest pelican
#

Go to the book that contains the race, then scroll down and you'll see the various races to purchase

#

What race are you looking for?

inner lagoon
#

harengon

modest pelican
#

Then you'll want to go to The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and scroll down

rustic cairn
#

if i buy an irl book i can use it on beyond right?

crystal scarab
#

There isn't, and there isn't anything planned, to allow content from real life to be transferred to beyond

rustic cairn
#

wait then whats the key thing about

crystal scarab
#

The redeem codes for keys is the one exception, but not every book has them

modest pelican
#

Only one product includes a key; the essentials kit

#

This is a boxed product so it's made differently

#

Physical books so not have codes

west harbor
#

I think you could buy just the one class if you wanted Crofall... unless I am mistaken

modest pelican
#

The 'redeem a key' option is primarily for people redeeming gift codes they've been sent

You have to use an Apple, Google or Twitch (I think Twitch is deprecated now) account to create a DnDBeyond account.

lusty aurora
#

Trying to use DDB to edit some homebrew and getting bombarded with are you human captcha requests - this is insane, I am not using API or anything just the website links. How do I stop it doing that? Is it the Beyond20 extension?

edgy oriole
#

Possibly. Beyond20 as a 3rd party extension can sometime interfere with DnDBeyond's normal functionality.

#

I suggest disabling the Beyond20 extension when using the site to make edits, etc.

native latch
#

does anyone know if i get access to all the source books and adventure books if i get the master subscription

opal pelican
#

No, you still have to purchase them. Master subscription allows you to share the content though.

native latch
#

OK THANKS

#

sorry caps lol

opal pelican
#

That's OK, I had my ear plugs in.

lusty aurora
#

disabled beyond20 and same result, so I am guessing it is ddb disabling standard browser activity like "open in a new tab" as it is suspicious behaviour? very damn frustrating ... anyone from DDB on here?

opal pelican
#

Are you using a VPN maybe? I'm not DnD Beyond staff or smart.

lusty aurora

There are a few forum messages that all get open a case with support (done that too) but wondered if anyone here knew the cause/fix

Captcha Requests

worn vessel
#

Just wondering if there are any plans to have the updated Bladesinger from Tasha's implemented into the character builder and sheet? I made a Bladesinger recently but it still seems to use the old SCAG features

lusty aurora
final trellis
#

Uhhh, thats not how it works at all. The Bladesinger has been updated to the TCoE version on the website and in the builder. There is no toggle between versions

#

When Tasha's released, there was errata issues to replace the version found in SCAG. The old version of the Bladesigner no longer exists.

worn vessel

#

Can you provide a screenshot of where you are seeing the old data? If its on a character, then it might be that someone is sharing a homebrew copy of the old version to you and using that?

Heyo!....My account profile and config page is really dorked up. Can't get to it. I had my account stolen a while ago and had you guys do some backend work to re-connect my account. I think the database got messed up and my profile here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/members/RabidCicada doesn't work at all. Could I get that corrected?

#

Just want to be able to navigate to that link without a 500 error or 404 page not found

Thank u

pale hinge
#

Ok, so i've made a homebrew staff for a character and a homebrew spell that the staff is supposed to be able to cast but that's the problem. How do I have Homebrew Items cast Homebrew Spells? Because the only spells you can add are the official ones.

modest pelican
#

You can add homebrew spells, you just can't publish the item if you do

pale hinge
#

I don't want to publish the item, I just want to add the spell but how?

modest pelican
#

Search for your homebrew spell in the add spell option

#

As long as it's in your creations, you'll be able to add it

#

For example, this is me adding one of my own homebrew spells to a homebrew item

pale hinge
#

ok thanks!

Yep, that worked. Thanks a bunch again.

#

I'm thinking of making a homebrew, either a race/subrace or a background and I was wondering if you guys had any insight into doing it.

What I wanted to do is make either a race of elves who are blessed/cursed by a god to do their bidding or a background where it's the same...

# lapis crag i dont know what non-english it thinks i put

It can be for a variety of reasons, such as special characters or even too-short descriptions. Click the main Save button to have the auto-checker run again. If this is still appearing and the homebrew race is for personal use only, you can ignore it; if you are planning to publish (which you should only do once it has been thoroughly proofread and play-tested), post a link here and I can help you figure out the cause of that message.

lapis crag
#

if it can be the description then thats most likely the problem

#

yup that was the issue

lusty aurora
#

Seriously? Clicking the home button to go back to the DDB home page and I get this. What settings are triggering this?

unknown.png
modest pelican
#

Are you using any extensions or a vpn?

lusty aurora
#

Beyond20. I still get this with that extension turned off though.

modest pelican
#

Anything that inspects or interacts with network traffic can trigger false positives

lusty aurora
#

VPN is off

modest pelican
#

Additionally, have you used any third party tools that gather data from the site? For example to pull data into a VTT?

lusty aurora
#

As above - the Beyond20 extension to send rolls etc to roll20.

modest pelican
#

Does this occur on a different browser?

lusty aurora
#

But also as above I get this response with that disabled as well.

#

This started a few days ago so I'm pretty sure my browser is stable. Has there been a change in how this is detected on the DDB side lately?

modest pelican
#

Not as far as I'm aware, no

#

What browser are you using? It's possible an update to the browser is triggering that message

lusty aurora
#

Edge chromium is what I am using. Trying on FF now but is not an always fail, so will have to wait a while to check.

opal pelican
#

Clear your cache.

modest pelican
#

That's a good suggestion; if a bad version of the site is cached, it could be triggering the response

lusty aurora
#

did that days ago, cleared all cache etc, rebooted etc ....

#

no change

modest pelican
#

In that case I'd recommend waiting for the support ticket to be addressed; they're answered in the order they're received and sometimes there can be a backlog

lusty aurora
#

Thanks Davyd, I might delete/reinstall edge and see if it changes the situation too. So far no issues on FF.

Users are only allowed to publish things that are their own original creations.

blazing pumice
#

Is there anyway to add a supernatural gift to a character in DNDbeyond?

#

I'm trying to make them nyxborn, but I can't seem to find it anywhere...

edgy oriole
#

I believe the functionality to support this are under development... so while it's not yet possible, it should be coming in the future.

blazing pumice
lapis geyser
#

For now you can usually add the effects with a homebrew feat or item

blazing pumice
#

I've been reading on it and it's what I've been looking for something like this and thought I should just make a homebrew on this but, yay!

#

Maybe if I look through what is already made, maybe someone has already made something like this...

edgy oriole
#

Maybe. I don't know if people have made the epic boons, dark gifts, or whatever and there may be issues making it public/shared because the rules are part of a published book/adventure (e.g. DnDBeyond can't allow people free access to rules from books that WoTC needs to be paid for).

#

You may have to use the homebrew tools to make them yourself - and no need to publish as whatever you create can be shared in your campaigns.

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, as mentioned above, users are only allowed to publish things that are their own original creations, which excludes any official content like dark gifts.

blazing pumice
#

But something similar can be shared right?

uneven lantern
#

You can make it exactly as printed for private use. It will get shared with your campaign automatically.

#

It’s only publishing it to the global community that’s an issue.

#

Whether something “similar” can be shared depends on how similar.

#

But generally speaking, if it uses the published text or the published features, that would not qualify as your own original work.

blazing pumice
#

Why doesn't dndb doesn't support Unearthed Arcana?

edgy oriole
#

It takes a lot of developer time and effort to build something that may or may not make it to official published form and then update it when it becomes official. Or remove the UA if it doesn't get published while still allowing it to function for characters still in use. Also much of the new UA material recently had very short testing time. DnDBeyond probably looked at all that time and effort and decided it didn't make a lot of sense from a resource perspective to support that when they have so much else that they still need to build and support (epic boons, dark gifts, etc.)

uneven lantern
#

That’s the gist of it, yeah.

My friend run into a problem that he has two characters in my campaign and the second character is a war domain Cleric but everytime he use War Priest this message appear:

No, it is not possible to automatically import characters from an external source. You can however manually reproduce them

so to create a character in dndbeyond... you must use the UI .... no import or API function?

Yes, that's correct. D&D Beyond does not have any import functionality nor does it have a public facing API

Ok, so quick little question (it may totally be my fault) one of my PCs have chosen the veriant human as there race and picked 'unbalaced attack' however it doesn't come up on their character sheet that they get 2 attacks - am I looking in the wrong place for it or is it not actually there because of his class?

Hey, I tried to change the ability scores of one of my characters on the website but when i go to view the character sheet they revert back to the previous values. Any reason for this or any possible fixes?

harsh stump
#

hey, Clockwork Magic and Psionic spells say that i can swap out spell from the list of spells add, how do i apply that on the character sheet? For example clockwork magic adds alarm and i want to swap it out with armor of agathys, how can i do that through the sheet?

modest pelican
#

This is a feature that currently doesn't work because it requires changes to how the character sheet functions. The team is aware of this and once it's fully supported, it'll be announced!

harsh stump
#

thank you very much

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

What is the "Ratings" field on the site cookie for dndbeyond used for?

edgy oriole
#

I am not seeing any such Ratings field in the cookies in my browser's network traffic to DnDBeyond. Are you sure it's coming from DnDBeyond and not a browser extension?

#

If it is coming from DnDBeyond it's most likely related to rating homebrew

little plume
#

I currently have no browser extensions loaded

It looks like it's an image? What page are you pulling up? I'm trying to see/reproduce the thing you're seeing.

Do you have a URL I can try?

little plume
#

I pasted it, Discord turned it into the picture

edgy oriole
#

okay - ill check it out. thanks!

little plume
#

I'm really curious what part of dndbeyond I can turn off or undue so this goes away.

crystal scarab
#

Looks like the monk bg of a character sheet

little plume
edgy oriole
#

So I looked into this and the AWSELB part of the cookie suggests that it relates to Amazon Web Services. My hunch is that the cookie is used to determine which AWS region and server to use to fetch the requested item. It also looks like there are other references (sailthru) which is probably services to track how users use and navigate through the site.

#

Anyway that's just a rough guess at what's happening here.

little plume
#

Is there anything I can do?

edgy oriole
#

About what? The cookies? They are being used to provide the functionality of the site.

#

I mean you could tell your browser to not accept any cookies but then I'm 90% sure the site won't work for you.

#

Or really lots of sites.

little plume
#

Whatever is adding that field to my site cookie. I'm having to clear my cookies 2 or three times a week for any images to load.

edgy oriole
#

You can configure your browser to clear cookies after closing/shutting down. This is an easy way to help prevent browser cookie overload. Just be aware that doing so means you'll have to login at websites every time you visit, etc. as the login cookies will be flushed whenever you close/shutdown your browser.

little plume
#

I'd prefer not to do that. I'd like to turn off whatever is adding that field to my site cookie. I appreciate you giving me work arounds and at the end of the day I love ddb and has been my biggest hobby the past couple of years. But I am beyond frustrated that that no one has been able to resolve this issue

edgy oriole
#

Well it can't be turned off because DnDbeyond uses it to fetch the image from the right server to deliver it to you as quickly as possible. That said I notice you're using Chrome. Chrome, while fast, can be a bit of a memory hog and also bad at releasing cache and refetching. Have you tried a different browser?

#

Or when using Chrome, hold the shift key down and refresh the window? This forces the browser to fetch the latest from the server (refresh the cache).

little plume
#

I really not interested in migrating everything to a different browser. I'm getting cantankerous in my old age.

little plume
#

Checking ddb now, I do not see a Ratings field in the site cookie

edgy oriole
#

You're making sure to use the latest version of Chrome right? That can help too.

little plume
edgy oriole
#

Also, crazy as it sounds, MS Edge, which uses chromium (Chrome's web rendering engine) is often better at performance/efficiency/memory use than Chrome.

little plume
#

Do browser extensions add persistent values to the site cookie, even after disabling all extensions?

edgy oriole
#

They potentially can

#

You may have to disable the extension and restart the browser to ensure that it isn't storing something persistant.

little plume
#

Since posting those images, I have updated and then cleared my browser cookies, loaded ddb, went into dev tools, and verified that Ratings field is not there.

#

The sailthru stuff you mentioned is there though

edgy oriole
#

Yeah I suspect that's a critical component of DnDBeyond's web application architecture

#

Same with the AWS bits

little plume
#

Well, I guess I needed something to do this weekend. Good thing I only run about a dozen extensions. Guess I'll try them out to see which one. @edgy oriole I'll let you know what I find. Because I've heard other people have similar problems

edgy oriole
#

I do know people have had issues with 3rd party extensions and DnDbeyond.

#

So yeah, definitely look into that.

little plume
#

The 2 extensions that I know interact with ddb the most don't have these complaints in their discord that I've seen. So it has to be one of the others, but I'll try each one till I find it.

Hey! Question if anyone can help out: I'm trying to use a homebrew subclass that was listed in the public homebrews. My DM has a Master subscription, and he added it to his collection, and I still can't seem to use the subclass while creating a character in his campaign page. Is there perhaps a toggle on his end, or something further that either of us has to do? Thanks in advance ^-^

opal pelican
#

Do you have homebrew toggled on for your character?

rugged gate
#

I do have homebrew content toggled on, yeah. Perhaps he has to also have it toggled on over on his end?

#

I asked him if he has it allowed, but he has yet to get back to me. If that isn't the issue, can you think of anything else we can try?

opal pelican
#

What is it a subclass for? Which class? And what level is your character?

It's the Luck Domain found here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/subclasses/990453-luck-domain

opal pelican
#

You can add it to your collection can't you?

rugged gate
#

I don't have a subscription myself, but with the Master subscription that my DM has it should apply for me, correct?

opal pelican
#

You don't need a subscription to add homebrew to your collection.

rugged gate
#

Strange, when I mouse over the option to add it to my collection, it instead gives me a grey box that says "requires subscription"

opal pelican
#

Oh never mind you do.

rugged gate

Hmm. Do I just also need to have a subscription then? I don't mind doing so, but if possible I'd like to use his master subscription boons for his players

opal pelican
#

Does you character have a name yet?

rugged gate
#

It doesn't! I can try inputting something there

#

Ah, no luck (ha)

opal pelican
#

Hmm, that's really strange you're sure you've made this character in the campaign and it's in their collection, then it should share with everyone

rugged gate
#

I've tried refreshing, clearing my cache, restarting, etc

opal pelican
#

Sometimes people make the character outside the campaign and then it doesn't work.

rugged gate
#

Maybe it's just that he forgot to toggle the homebrew option. 🙂 I'll ask again if that's the case!! Thanks so much for your hlep

opal pelican
#

Yeah, you'll need someone smarter than me. Good luck!

rugged gate
#

Yeah, I've done everything in the campaign, and I've had access to all of the various books he owns with the other characters I've made--this side plot character is just giving me grief!

solid kestrel
#

character is in campaign
someone in the campaign has content sharing on with a master sub
you have homebrew content turned on
these things all correct?

rugged gate
#

Correct, yes

solid kestrel
#

is it in the other persons collection? collection versus creations is a thing

rugged gate
#

Yes, it's in his collection, not his creation

#

There's not a huge rush on this, as I won't need to create the character for a couple weeks here. I just like to make things pretty far in advance so my DMs have time to plan plot things around the PCs because I know how that goes in my own campaigns that I run haha

#

I'll tweak things with him and see if we can figure out if there's something we're missing, and come back here if that still doesn't work :)

# edgy oriole So yeah, definitely look into that.

Went to start testing this morning. I have not enabled any extensions yet and have have visited the following sites since clearing my cookies last night: dndbeyond, roll20, outlook.office.com, & dominos.com. That's it. And I go to check dndbeyond's site cookie that 2,479 character chunk for "Ratings" is back in the dndbeyond site cookie. Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot!!!

#

For those that don't want to scroll up. #ddb-support message
Here is a screenshot of what I am having difficulty with. I have no browser extensions loaded. I have not enabled any browser extensions since updating Chrome last night. I immediately cleared my cookies and cache after updating Chrome before browsing anything.

I would like to know what is adding a 2,479 character chunk of... data?... to the site cookie for dndbeyond for the "Ratings" field. The example screenshot is is the Chrome dev tools for me accessing the image www.dndbeyond.com/avatars/thumbnails/104/378/32/32/636511944060210307.png

unknown.png
opal pelican
#

Does that affect anything?

little plume
#

The data chunk of that field of that is taking up 60% of the maximum allowable cookie length. Cookies change as I do things on the site. After so long the cookie length exceeds the 4096 bytes allowed because 2479 of those bytes are this chunk of ... data. When the cookie length exceeds 4096 bytes, things stop working. Images such as character portraits, monster or item images, images in source books, the rich text editor for page comments or the forum at points all fail to load.

#

I have to delete my cache and/or cookies multiple times a week.

#

Is there a link that subscribers can submit support tickets?

edgy oriole
#

The Zendesk one is more for tickets etc.

#

They get answered/handled in the order they're received I believe.

little plume
edgy oriole
#

They do look at all the reports (forums, here on Discord, and Zendesk) but the Zendesk seems more oriented towards "halp things not working!" issues.

#

For the record I do not work for DnDBeyond/Fandom and I am not a mod - just a happy user of DnDBeyond trying to help others!

little plume
#

Whereas Zendesk is probably part of their front end for their issue tracking.

edgy oriole
#

I'm surprised that the cookie seems to continue to grow - maybe there's some code the devs need to better optimize for their setting/managing cookies. Because from what I could tell, a lot of that cookie metadata looks like it's pretty important to the functioning of DnDBeyond website/app.

little plume
#

I wanted to believe it was a browser extension. Like coupon codes from Honey or something. That's why looking before enabling any extensions was so disheartening

edgy oriole
#

But yeah, use Zendesk, share the details of your setup (what browser, which version, what OS/version you're running) and describe the behavior and what you're doing to work around the issue. It may help the devs identify the root cause or find better optimizations to do. Or identify some weird browser or extension bug.

little plume
#

Gods, I hope so

#

I can't clear cookies on my browser at work, so ddb never loads images there. That cookie is probably huge

#

But meh, it's work. I'm rarely on there

#

Hi,
is there a way to manually set the proficiency bonus for a homebrew creature or is it entirely tied to the CR?

modest pelican
#

The displayed proficiency bonus is entirely determined by CR, but it's not added automatically anywhere, meaning you can just ignore that value and use your own#

neon vine
#

is it not automatically added to Saving Throw proficiencies?

modest pelican
#

Ah, you're right, sorry. Forgot about that

neon vine
#

And there's no override for those, correct?

modest pelican
#

Correct, at this time this can't be modified. However, if you want a different proficiency bonus, you can modify the CR. This is because proficiency bonus affects CR, meaning a higher bonus = higher CR

neon vine
#

Yeah, it seems to be tied to the same progression as player proficiency by level

Did your subscription expire?

#

You might have too many characters? Idk.

shrewd cradle

opal pelican
#

How do you have more than 6 characters?

#

Without a subscription you are limited to 6.

shrewd cradle
#

I don't

shrewd cradle
opal pelican
#

That character screen shows 7 characters.

#

Or is that like a list of people in a campaign?

#

You can only have 6 that were made with the same account.

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

I have 5 but 2 are from a campaign that I have

#

they are my players'

opal pelican
#

Are they all made with the same account?

shrewd cradle
#

no

#

the 2 I don't own are 2 separate accounts

#

for some reason it's counting our 3 accounts as merged or smth

little plume
#

@shrewd cradle can you provide more of your screen in your screenshot?

opal pelican
#

Yeah, what page it's on would help.

#

Like if it's on your character page.

little plume
#

I see 7 characters. Which you can only have if you have a subscription. But if this is a portion of a campaign screen then I don't know why it's showing locked. But if it's their My Characters page, you let your subscription lapse and it locked any more characters than the first 6

onyx wasp
#

It would not show 'Leave Campaign' on character #2 if it was in the campaign screen.

little plume
#

Yeah. Subscription expired or.... there's a ban hammer out there 🤷

meaning they would only have access and count 5, not 7

Well I had a question for the Beyond team (or anyone else that may have the answer) but when you buy the Variant Tiefling subrace from SCAG, is the Winged included?

Oh wow that's specific

#

I'm hungry but want to help

onyx wasp
opal pelican
#

Yes, wing tiefling is a variant.

#

Variant is Devil's Tongue, Hellfire and Winged.

onyx wasp
#

and Feral (i.e. those are the ones in SCAG)

opal pelican
#

Feral is like a separate race in Beyond.

little plume
#

One other question I had that's really bugging me is where to find the Custom Lineage option? It's from TCE but there's no individual option to buy it? Is it only included in the full book?

onyx wasp
#

True, and I don't remember if it's bought separately, but it's listed along with Devil's Tongue, Hellfire, and Winged in the book. Same quote box.

opal pelican
#

Yes.

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

let me go to the campaign page and show that as well

opal pelican
#

No, that's enough.

shrewd cradle
#

alright

opal pelican
#

You absolutely have too many characters.

shrewd cradle
#

I've never bought anything except sourcebooks on D&DBeyond

onyx wasp
#

How did you get up to 7 characters?

opal pelican
#

You have 7 characters that belong to you.

edgy oriole
#

It suggests someone has made one too many characters and had locked all the others.

little plume
#

considering they only bought sourcebooks

shrewd cradle
#

I had 5

opal pelican
#

Might have glitched? Idk. Hopefully it's not from sharing your account with others since that's against the rules.

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

yeah

#

it shows 7 now

opal pelican
#

Delete the ones that aren't yours.

shrewd cradle
#

I can't

opal pelican
#

If they're on your screen then DnD Beyond is saying you own them.

#

You need to pick 6 to keep unlocked for now.

shrewd cradle
#

well, they're no longer locked?

edgy oriole
#

You can delete any characters there on your screen.

shrewd cradle
#

it didn't let me unlock so I couldn't delete

#

now I can cuz they're not locked

onyx wasp
#

Issue solved then.

shrewd cradle
#

nope

#

new issue instead

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

I deleted Pablo and Gloin who I didn't own

little plume
#

recreate them at this point, or try a new character to see if that one gets locked

edgy oriole
#

They can only have 6 characters.

#

Unless they subscribe.

shrewd cradle
#

I have 5 on the page now but they're inaccessible

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

welp

onyx wasp
#

Might be a shot in the dark but have you tried logging out and back in?

shrewd cradle
#

I'll try that again but that's when it happened

little plume
#

Could they be inaccessible because the loss of the subscription disabled sharing and those characters are built with inaccessible content? Certainly it would display an Edit button

little plume
shrewd cradle
#

some are made with content sharing from DMs that I played with

little plume
onyx wasp
little plume

What happens if you make another character?

I let my subscription lapse one time and I had locked characters, but I can't remember if I had to delete all of them

I'll try that now

No. Because I wouldn't have recreated ones before then

If you want it to be a saving throw, the DC of which is 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier, then just set Ability Score Type to CHA. The field, Save Type, is what kind of save it is (e.g., a DEX save against the DC set by your CHA modifier -- or in your current case, a CHA save). The Fixed Save DC is for things that have... well, that; a fixed DC.

So for artificers, it looks like there's some issues with Replicate Magic Item - beyond it showing a long list of items that aren't on the table of options, but I cannot find "Mind Sharpener" on DDB outside the option for this class, and "Sending Stones" aren't on the list of options for the dropdown on the feature.

#

"Alchemy Jug" is also not on the list

uneven lantern
#

Mind Sharpener is a separate infusion, not a Replicate Magic Item option. That’s one of the new infusions added in TCOE, so you’ll need access to that book in order to find it.

#

Meanwhile, Alchemy Jug and Sending Stones are both found in the DMG, not the Basic Rules. You may need access to the item itself before you can use the infusion.

#

(I can see both those items just fine on my artificer.)

With the homebrew tools, I'm trying to create a wondrous item that is capable of a ranged attack roll & damage (visible on the character sheet). In this particular case, a d20 + DEX modifier roll for the attack, and a d10 + DEX for the damage. Is there a modifier type that corresponds to this type of attack, or is this not possible with the current homebrew tools?

that's not how attack rolls work

#

you mean damage, right?

full wing
#

Oh, yes, right

solid kestrel
#

you could just make it a weapon

full wing

I could, but is that my only option? It's not really the purpose of the device (a grappling hook)

solid kestrel
#

you could make the magic item a grappling hook launcher which can be incidentally usable as a heavy crossbow, and the proficiency with which is transferable

full wing
#

Hmm, I suppose that would be easier...

#

Thanks for the advice!

solid kestrel
#

indeed. Sometimes it's easier to just use a heavy crossbow. A grappling hook launcher. And sure you can shoot it like a heavy crossbow and the skills are transferable, but the item shoots grappling hooks primarily and you just put the round peg in the square hole and it works as a crossbow

I'm fairly certain the forum dice roller doesn't support negative indices for the roll macro, but you should still be able to manage to make it work simply by using the actual roll number. Just means you'll have to keep track of each as you go

Not sure what you mean. The first damage roll is direct from the macro with a negative index referring to the attack roll before it. 🤔 I've tried to modify it for subsequent rolls, as would be the logical extension, but it doesn't work.

Variants aren't handled as subraces; by nature a variant replaces base racial features of the 'standard' race they're a variant of. There is just no method in place for changing the features that are called out at the top of the page at the moment

In the homebrew builder, what's the difference between 'expertise' and 'twice proficiency'?

narrow merlin
#

i looked it up and it says “Twice Proficiency allows you to apply double proficiency to a skill or tool under a specific situation, even if you are not already proficient in that skill or tool. Expertise allows you to double your proficiency bonus for a skill in which you are already proficient.”

hope that helps

How long does it take for homebrew to update on the sheet?

lime gulch

You're at the mercy of server caching.

quasi bough
#

I didn't publish the homebrew. I just edited it, but the changes aren't appearing on the character sheet

dawn egret
#

depending on when in the cycle you wound up in, it can take 15 minutes or more

#

Jesus christ

dawn egret
#

yeah, caching is the lynch pin in most updates.

#

When you break up a monolith server into multiple different servers, caching between them is going to end up being the worst part... but it's better than losing one server and thus losing the entire service

quasi bough
#

I wonder why there isn't like, a temporary local cache for stuff like private homebrew? Something that lets you have the updated version ready immediately while the homebrew caches proper.

edgy oriole
#

Likely the way the app is architected and the services they use to run it require it to have a bit more of an aggressive caching policy.

Hi, I am sure this has been asked and answered before, but I just set up a new campaign in DDB. I have bought a few of the sourcebooks, but dozens of individual races, classess, subclasses, and feats. My first player can't see some the races I purchased like Harengon. Content sharing is on and I've said to share all sourcebooks etc. Is there another item to toggle?

I am new to using the app and website. How would I go by doing that?

final trellis
#

I'd say put the app aside - if you are new the best way to learn how the character builder and other tools work is to use the website (The app is still being developed and doesn't have all features/functions).

When in the character builder on the website, preferences are part of the first step after naming a character - you toggle homebrew content on there.

#

when leveling up (milestone leveling) does DnDbeyond roll the hit die or is it something the PCs need to do themselves?

lime gulch
low crystal
#

is it something I as a DM have to set?

lime gulch
low crystal
#

so, if the settings are changed does it retroactively remove it for earlier levels? I saw one of my PCs settings and its set at fixed

#

so if he changes it to manual, does it mean he has to roll 9 times (they are level 9)

#

or is it for any future rolls

solid kestrel
#

it's manual or fixed
for manual, you input the total number all the hit die have rolled.
a level 9 fighter would have 9d10 - the first level is max, so that's automatically 10. Constitution is automatically added for each level.
What you'd need to do as that 9th level fighter would be to roll 8d10, and input that exact number into the manual field.

#

you don't input die rolls + conmod, as it automatically adds con, so you're doubling up on con. You just input the raw basic value of whatever you got for a roll of 8d10.

#

Or whatever other appropriate die size and amount for class and level.

low crystal
#

yeah, I understand that. My question is if its changed to manual for an existing character, does it reset the HP to allow for manual rolls to be added for all prior levels or does it just consider for any leveling up post setting change

You can just check, right?

Also, we wouldn't advise you something via Support if that wasn't the case. A subscription ending has zero impact on any other content you've purchased. You'll still have access.

If there is a long period between the end of the current sub and you start a new one with different payment method, you will lose subscription features (so extra characters, access to beta testing tools, etc.) - as for characters, if you have greater than 6, all of them get locked and you have an unlock process to complete (if you weren't to start a new sub and were going to run with just 6 char slots).

Ahhh for the BA

#

So the attack coming from Polearm Master doesn't come from the Glaive itself, which is where the issue lies

#

They should be able to manually edit the attack bonus by going to customize and selecting "To Hit Bonus" and adding the appropriate modifier for the attacks

strange wedge
#

yeah but why isnt dnd Beyond auto doing that?

crystal scarab
#

Basically the attack is derived from the feat itself instead of the weapon directly

strange wedge
#

I see

final trellis
#

The Polearm Master feat has the Bonus Action coded into the feat itself - it cant reference other elements on the sheet (like Hex Warrior, etc), nor can it even change the reach based on the weapon you are using - effectively it is hardcoded. It would need an update to the form and logic in order to have that auto update.

What i'd recommend is the same as Astral - customise the attack to match the correct details. However in practise, 99% of the time Ive seen users go "oh i have a bonus attack option from me feat" and then just used the standard action entry, they've not referred to the specific entry under bonus actions.

I think the only thing you can do is make a note that the weapon's range is increased. Those are tied to the base weapon. I'm not a homebrew expert though.
