Hi! I am having a issue. The combat encounters are not letting me delete encounters

[opal pelican]

Have you named them?

[wanton shard]

The typical cause for this is that the encounter has no name, as Tressym has suggested. A relevant forum post from Sorce on this:

The issue can fall into two categories.
1 - The encounter does not have a name (so is called Untitled Encounter). To resolve this, name the encounter, and then it should delete. (0.00001% of the time an unnamed encounter can fall into category 2)
2 - The encounter does have a name and cannot be deleted. To resolve this, you will need to raise a Support Ticket, as we need the dev team to run the rebuild tool on these encounters.
When raising a Support Ticket (http://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket), be sure to select in the form that the issue is related to Encounter Builder, include your Username/Nickname and please include the Name(s) of the encounter and the URL(s).

Yay, I helped without doing anything this morning!

[uneven lantern]

Do the players see each others’ rolls in the game log? It may be that some players have their rolls set to “Self”, which would prevent anyone else from seeing their rolls.

One more question: Will DnDBeyond get "Return to the Glory"?

[round summit]

Whats Return to the Glory?

[wanton shard]

It's an Extra Life supplement on DMs Guild. And the answer is that it's unlikely. Not impossible, so if it ever is planned to be added, that will be announced

[round summit]

Ah. I've been meaning to grab that other one... the journal of villainy (but i'll stop now because i'm off topic)

[round summit]

Is there any reason someone might not be able to message this channel?

[thorn sandal]

There shouldn't be, no.

[opal pelican]

They aren't a member of the discord server I guess

[wanton shard]

Only if they have the Muted role

[opal pelican]

Or they got banned.

[wanton shard]

Anyone banned or Silent will not be able to view this channel at all; to view the channel but not be able to speak is a Muted case only

[round summit]

@woeful marten

Which, I think we can all agree, is a weird af error

[thorn sandal]

That's definitely on Discord's end then

[woeful marten]

Ah...I had to agree to the server rules, which never popped up until i restarted discord app

Ok so here is my problem that I hope can be solved: Been using Avrae to play a dndbeyond character that's an Infiltrator Armorer. I own the entire Armorer (one-off purchase) on ddb, and have used its "lighting launcher" attack in avrae in the past no problem. In the last month or two it's started telling me I need to purchase the "Infiltrator" class. On DDB I still have that class np and can use it on characters without issue. I asked on avrae support channel and they redirected me here as nothing they could see was wrong. I've even unlinked and relinked my discord account to ddb.

[round summit]

We confirmed that Avrae is connected to the right account

(as far as I can tell, anyways)

[opal pelican]

Is the class being shared to you?

[woeful marten]

Not that I know of. I purchased it myself.

I don't think our Gm is sharing anything

[opal pelican]

Did you try updating your character?

[woeful marten]

I did

same error.

I've even reimported the character

[opal pelican]

Can I see your sheet?

[woeful marten]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Quaris/characters/36925910

[opal pelican]

Does this show that Armorer is owned by you?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/tashas-cauldron-of-everything

[woeful marten]

yes

[opal pelican]

Little check mark?

[woeful marten]

indeed

[opal pelican]

Hmm, that's really weird.

[woeful marten]

This as well

[opal pelican]

What's the avrae error?

[opal pelican]

Huh, that's really weird. Seems like it all should work. When does that error happen?

[woeful marten]

Every time I !attack "lightning launcher" or similar

See #ddb-avrae-commands for example

[wanton shard]

It's particularly weird, since the Infiltrator is just an option of the Armorer. I wonder if something has changed in the backend that's causing a weird Avrae interaction... Let me roll up a quick Armorer character myself and test

[round summit]

i imported and used the attack fine, as a note

like, that sheet

[wanton shard]

Ah, alright then

@woeful marten Is your account entitlements data in sync? https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[round summit]

can you try doing !subclass armorer in #ddb-avrae-commands ?

oh dangit i always forget about that

[woeful marten]

It says it is in sync, yes

I got a dm from avrae with a list of info about armorer

[opal pelican]

Did that character ever use the UA version?

[round summit]

so avrae knows you own that subclass

which further adds to this mystery

[woeful marten]

Hmm, I don't think so. Pretty sure it was out before I made this one. Can I check somehow?

[wanton shard]

I just checked again, it would say "(archived)" if it were the old version

[opal pelican]

If you make a new Armorer does the error still happen?

[woeful marten]

Hmm, let met try. Give a few.

[round summit]

im both sad it wasn't the entitlement sync thing, and glad because i completely forgot it was a thing

I remember each time a new book comes out and forget 30 seconds later

[woeful marten]

what is that anyways?

[wanton shard]

Sometimes goblins close doors and you have to manually open them again

[woeful marten]

Ok, how do I add this sheet again? I've never set up 2 characters in avrae

Same error, new character @opal pelican

Huh...so I CAN use the DEX version of the attack

just not the regular one

[round summit]

...ugh

[opal pelican]

My guess would be something weird on the backend. Should work fine 🤔

[woeful marten]

I agree.

Is there a way to submit a ticket to the right people about this to get it fixed?

[wanton shard]

https://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket is the place for Support tickets

[woeful marten]

Ok I have submitted a trouble ticket. Maybe they can forward it to the right engineers to fix this.

[final trellis]

Uhhh, I guess Ill try to figure out who to forward that too because Avrae stuff I thought Zhu and team would handle?

[round summit]

I just created a ticket on the Avrae side, I wasn't sure if this was a Zhu issue or a DDB side one :p

[late sage]

can i make ddb not display a sourcebook? dm banned tashas and its annoying trying to figure out what i can and cant use

Hey everyone, I am having trouble swapping psionic spells(aberrant mind subclass), is there a documented workaround or a fix please? Thanks!

[violet vortex]

I don’t think you swap them out like other sorcerer subclasses

They’re just extra spells

[crystal scarab]

Nah you do, but beyond doesn't support it

[crystal scarab]

The best workaround right now is to create a homebrew copy of the subclass and put the spells you want on there.

[tiny comet]

how do I make it so a subclass ability lets you use its resource "1+ constitution modifier" amount of times?

[crystal scarab]

Is it an action?

[tiny comet]

and using it more than that amount of times results in taking a level of exhaustion with each use

[tiny comet]

its a bonus action

[crystal scarab]

So ye action section of the homebrew

[tiny comet]

ok ye

I'm over there rn

[crystal scarab]

So if you go to the action section and have it reset on a sr/lr then save

It'll take you out of the menu

If you re-enter it, you can go to the limited use section and set it as such

[tiny comet]

I pulled up a battlemaster copy as a kind of guide for it since it also has a multiuse ability that has diff things

[tiny comet]

oh ok thanks

[crystal scarab]

For the exhaustion part that'd just have to be in the description

[tiny comet]

mk cool

ok thanks it works perfectly

wait so like later in the subclass it boosts it, to 3+con how do I do that? @crystal scarab

[crystal scarab]

Should be in the level overrides area just beneath the limited use one

[tiny comet]

oh I didn't even see lmfao

wait so does changing the fixed value to 3 make it 3+con instead of 1+con?

@crystal scarab

oh wait

nvm

I have to change the limited use thing

[tiny comet]

how do I make it so expertise in a tool proficiency is included in an ability?

[uneven lantern]

Give it a modifier with type: Expertise and subtype: (whatever tool you need).

[onyx wasp]

Use the Expertise modifier if already having proficiency is a requirement. Use the Twice Proficiency modifier for proficiency and expertise in one.

[tiny comet]

is this on a sheet or on the HB creator

[lime void]

Hey guys, am I doing something wrong by only seeing a total of 3 feats to choose from for a custom homebrew feat?

3 is just sad lol, why are there not more available to use as a template

Anyone?

[edgy oriole]

Do you own the books through DnDBeyond? If so more feats would be available for use.

[real path]

it seems like you only own 2 feats on dnd beyond? grappler is the one that is free for everyone

[lime void]

Ah okay, no I don't. I'm part of a campaign where the DM shares his books

[edgy oriole]

If not... well you can access the ones that are available for free.

[onyx wasp]

In the homebrew creator of course.

[edgy oriole]

Or made available through a campaign

[real path]

ah, okay thats it. campaign sharing doesn't extend to homebrew creation

[lime void]

My ultimate goal is to give my players at max 5 attunement slots, and it show on their character sheets

[tiny comet]

ok thanks

[lime void]

I heard you could do this via a homebrew feat

Three is just not enough imo, so I want to give them at meax 5

max*

[onyx wasp]

Take a blank feat. Give it a modifier of Set -> Attunement slots -> 5 (iirc)

[lime void]

The problem is my players would have to replace an existing feat with this feat

so I'm trying to use their existing feat as a template, then just add this in

[onyx wasp]

No, just add it directly on the sheet (Manage Feats).

[tiny comet]

yeah

[lime void]

lemme look into that real fast

[onyx wasp]

A feat instead of ASI is an optional rule, so naturally you can add feats manually, as the gods intended.

[lime void]

This is done on the character sheet?

[onyx wasp]

Yes.

After you make the feat.

[lime void]

Oh, I see it now I think

I don't see set attunement, or attunement slots

[onyx wasp]

You have to make the feat first...

[lime void]

Ahhh, right. Okay, sec!

[lime void]

Got it, I made it

Just adding it to my sheet now

It didn't show up under the name, so checking to see if it's because homebrew content was unticked

Really strange.

[onyx wasp]

A feat you make yourself is homebrew content, yes.

[lime void]

I named it "Attunement Master"

[onyx wasp]

Give it 10 mins.

[edgy oriole]

Caching - it can take up to 15 minutes for changes to appear

[lime void]

o_O;;

What lol

[onyx wasp]

You can ignore that if you don't intend to publish it for all the world to see.

[edgy oriole]

You don't have to publish it to use it.

[lime void]

Yeah, I want to tho

I don't understand why I can't publish it lol

[edgy oriole]

There may be a similar homebrew feat that's already published

[onyx wasp]

You don't have to publish it for your players to use it if you are in the same campaign.

[lime void]

I know

I just like to publish my work

[onyx wasp]

Before you even tested it? Please no.

[lime void]

I of course would test it, it's not my first time homebrewing stuff.

[onyx wasp]

Well you have some non-english language in it then.

[uneven lantern]

That can also be triggered by a missing description, or one that isn’t long enough.

[slender vector]

Is there a place where folks post one shots?

[modest pelican]

What do you mean?

[tiny comet]

is there a way to make it so there's a limit to an amount of a class resource you can have up at once? but it like tracks it individually so you know which ones you have up?

like there's this subclass that I'm trying make on DDB, and it has these things called compounds which give you an effect that lasts for 1 minute to an hour, depending on the one you pick

the sub itself is basically a revision of the mutant subclass from BH but as a fighter sub

lemme show you what I'm talking abt

I'm trying to make it so when you select your amount of compounds for the day, they appear on your sheet, and they have the little limited resource box under each of them, and you can tick them off when you use the compound. But I want the amount you can tick off to be limited by the "1+ con mod" limit they have on there

as opposed to having the compound ability just have the limited resource boxes be all under it, because with that you wouldn't be able to really know what compounds you have up currently from looking at that

[cobalt ibex]

Hi. Is there any way to link DDB character sheets and campaign logs to a discord server without using Avrae? Here's my ask: I have four players and I'd like their DDB rolls to show up in private channels instead of one mixed channel. It helps keep things tidy. They are currently using the Beyond20 extension on desktop but this doesn't help when they roll from mobile. Is there a way to make their mobile rolls show up in their individual channels?

[edgy oriole]

Avrae would be the official supported way. I know the browser extension Beyond20 can also connect to and send rolls/results into Discord from DnDBeyond but it is not supported by DnDBeyond.

I think Avrae's DnDBeyond !campaign command can only connect a DnDBeyond campaign to one channel.

[cobalt ibex]

Thank you.

[onyx wasp]

Unsure how you have set it up, but this looks a lot like you want one 'action' used to keep track of how many times they can be used (1 + CON), and then actions tied to Options (one for each compound). Like the battle master maneuvers, or cleric/paladin channel divinity.

[little plume]

hello, i have a question, in regards to homebrew, how would i make a Tooltip for the spell Pass without a trace? i know most of them use [spell]spell name[/spell] but butting pass with out a trace in between doesnt work

[spell]Pass without Trace[/spell]

[prime steppe]

Question: what is override score and other modifier?

[opal pelican]

If you had something that overrides your score happen to you.

Like a shadow attacks you, uses strength drain to make your Str go down by 2 points. You could then override your Str score to be 2 lower. Like make it 8 if it was 10.

It wouldn't be something you'd touch during character creation, only later on during the campaign if you needed to.

[prime steppe]

So what happen if i put override score as 3 when i create a new character?

Oh and can you somehow make a modifier better? Cause when i do standard array, for some reason all of my stats just has a modifier between -4 and -3.

[dawn egret]

well, if you're overriding your score... the modifier will be low because it's ignoring what you put. because you overrode it

[prime steppe]

So what would you usually put in the other modifier and override score when creating a new character?

On dnd beyond

[dawn egret]

nothing

absolutely nothing.

[solid kestrel]

that's for when you're getting strength drain or whatever.

[thorn sandal]

The override is an optional box that allows you to force a specific number while ignoring all other factors, should you find the need to while you play(for example, if a spell or curse has changed what the number is supposed to be). Simply leave it blank otherwise so that your stats will be what they should be! 🙂

[prime steppe]

Ohhhh ok ok. Thanks guys for your contribution to my confusion 😅

[thorn sandal]

I'm happy to help! It seems you may want to review the character creation section in the basic rules so that you understand everything properly. Let me know if you have any questions 😄
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/step-by-step-characters

[tiny comet]

yeah

[tiny comet]

like I want it to be similar to the battlemaster thing but I wanna make it so, the option(maneuvers) have a limitted resource box under it, and when you tick that off it off it ticks it off for the overall resource(superiority dice) @onyx wasp

in my case tho the options would be the individual compounds, like for example the allsense injection, and the overal resource would be compounds

I want it to be this way because the compounds are continuous effects that last for a time, so if I make it so they're tracked individually you know which ones you have up currently just from looking at your sheet

[queen mural]

I was wondering why only the feats in the PhB are within the modifier type feat

[opal pelican]

If you mean the tags then that might just have been the tag they used for thr PHB and switched for subsequent books

[onyx wasp]

Ah, you can't "link" them in that way for automation purposes. If this is just for tracking temporary effects, I recommend not putting it in the subclass and just making a magic item or similar that a player can equip to keep track.

[tiny comet]

Ah then nvm

If there’s no way to do it

I’ll just handle it like the way battlemaster does and just recommend keeping track of what you have up separately

And do that myself

Because I don’t rlly like the idea of having that ability be separate from the HB subclass

Thanks for the help tho :)

[past arrow]

hello

So when i make a homebrew magic item for my character and attack with it via Avrae

I usually put a single space to remove the description entirely.

D&D Beyond dice don't auto add such damage. It sounds like you're maybe using an extension, such as beyond20, that's adding the damage

[eternal fog]

I am creating a magic item but have a question on how to input something. Is this the correct channel to ask?

I'll just go ahead and ask and if not ill remove.
A) The item is a cloak that the wearer can use 5 ft of movement (per charge, up to 5/day) to spin and deal 1d6 fire damage to creatures within 5 ft. The effect has a DC to deal damage. being this isnt an existing spell how can I set the DC on the item/effect?

B) Creatures damaged by the effect in A simply cant make opportuinty attacks against the wearer till the end of the turn. Being this is a non-standard condition does it have to only go in the notes, or is there a way to add it?

[opal pelican]

Most of that will just be notes except the charges I think.

I don't know the homebrew system that well, so someone else could probably help you more with the details.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, there's not currently a way to attach actions to items.

If it's for private use, you might consider pairing it with a homebrew feat to get that extra functionality.

But if you're looking to publish, then yeah, everything but the charges is just part of the text description.

[edgy oriole]

Seems like a question for #character-discussion

This channel is more for issues with DnDBeyond website and apps.

[halcyon quail]

I've tried asking there, and they haven't answered. They are having a convo, and haven't answered me yet. I think they finished. Should I try asking again?

[opal pelican]

You can ask there all you want.

I'll go see if I can find your question.

[edgy oriole]

That's just a Discord thing - sometimes conversations go past someones questions without getting answered. Just try asking again.

[opal pelican]

What's the best way to track steel defender health on DnD Beyond? I gotta use Beyond for a virtual game and battlesmith artificer has too many things.

[solid kestrel]

note

[opal pelican]

Also, how can I get steel defender's attack to show up correctly? I created a custom action, but it's not letting me do int + proficiency bonus to attack, but then 1d8+ proficiency bonus for damage.

I feel like this shouldn't be that complicated.

[edgy oriole]

I know folks using Avrae have sometimes resorted to using CritterDB to "load" in their defender to use it in initiative.

[solid kestrel]

ye

[opal pelican]

I don't need it in initiative, I just need DnD Beyond to let me roll to hit and to damage with this.

If it's literally impossible for me to make a thing that is "1d20+8 to hit, then 2d8+3 damage", then this is dumb. I don't even need it to scale and react to stat changes.

[stuck imp]

theres something weird happening on the artificer page of the website

[solid kestrel]

also images are just generally not loading

[limber bolt]

I am trying to make a firbolg character and I have volo's guide in ddb, but there is no option for a firbolg when I go to choose my character race.

[opal pelican]

Do you own it? Or do you just have it shared through a campaign?

If it's just shared then you can only use that content when you make a character for that particular campaign.

[lucid juniper]

if you just got it, try refreshing. it doesnt always work right away

[limber bolt]

ah this is the problem

thanks

[final trellis]

This looks to be an issue with the Beyond20 extension - if you disable it, the incorrect text will go away.

[stuck imp]

Ok, thanks!

[heady spear]

Hey, Don't know if this is the right channel, but, can someone tell me a good medic/doctor/plague doctor background I can buy from the marketplace

[modest pelican]

You want #dnd-discussion or #character-discussion. This channel is for getting help using the site

[heady spear]

ok, thanks

[fathom mauve]

helo im trying to make a custom spell attack, but it keeps adding my ability modifier to my damage when i don't want it to. how do i remove ability modifier from the damage?

[solid kestrel]

customize, damage bonus, put in a negative.

[median plume]

I try to use the app to view phb, and it somehow look like this despite me trying to adjust the display setting. The other source book are just fine

Update: problem solved when viewing directly on the website, but application remains the same

[copper vapor]

how do I add an existing character to a campaign I'm in?

[lucid juniper]

it should have a button on the actual campaign page, although if you dont have the actual slot left on the character creator it wont let you

[copper vapor]

that's only for new characters. did just figure it out though

you gotta go to the "invite new players" link, there you can add an existing character even if you already joined the campaign

seems like a strange way to do it but at least it's possible

[lucid juniper]

oh i misunderstood, it should just allow you to add it on the last page of your characters creation page

[copper vapor]

nope, you only have the option to create a new campaign, not join an old one

[lucid juniper]

odd

[modest pelican]

The only way is via the invite link, which is for adding characters specifically, not just players

[solid kestrel]

noncore toggle

character builder, home, toggles - noncore, turn it on.

ah.

[crystal scarab]

Are your entitlements in sync?

lemme find it in this channel

Can you check the Account Entitlements section on this page? Does it say everything is in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

What do you mean shared?

[solid kestrel]

there it is, shared.

[crystal scarab]

was confused on the downloaded part

Is this a character inside of a campaign?

[solid kestrel]

the campaign being shared from?

[lucid juniper]

then you wont be able to use it except in the campaign itself

[crystal scarab]

^

[lucid juniper]

ask the dm to make a burner campaign

[crystal scarab]

You can make a new character in the campaign by copy and pasting the invite link into your URL

[edgy oriole]

You either need to own it yourself or have the character in the campaign where that content is being shared.

[lucid juniper]

solution

[crystal scarab]

my solution is better

[violet vortex]

If you go to the “My Collections” dropdown, there’s an option for “My Campaigns”

Click that and you should see a “Create a Campaign” button

[modest pelican]

Yep, go here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-campaigns
Click this button on the right

[lucid juniper]

it should share automatically, as long as its not set to private(if thats a thing you can even do)

[modest pelican]

Any homebrew in your collection, or your players collections, will be automatically shared within the campaign. It doesn't need to be published, just in your collection.
Each player will need to enable homebrew content during character creation

[lucid juniper]

its the first description that you see on the race page itself

the subheader, if you will

[crystal scarab]

Usually it's like

As a Tortle, you have the following racial traits.

Or smth

[lucid juniper]

you can mouse over the question mark you know, it'll provide more information (no offence)

[crystal scarab]

Description isn't too helpful iirc

[lucid juniper]

fair

[crystal scarab]

Basically it's what will appear in the features & traits section on the sheet

And it'll handle things like dc calculations

In most cases you just input text, and that's what you see on the sheet

[crystal scarab]

If you go to modifiers, it would be Bonus-Strenfth Score with a Fixed Value of 2

[uneven lantern]

"Snippet" is the abbreviated version of the rules, and what you'll see directly on your character sheet. Then you click the feature on your sheet, you'll see the Description in the sidebar, which should be the full rules text.

[gray cedar]

Question: I want to alter a class via Homebrew, but I only see Subclass as a homebrew option. Is a class creation possible and I am not seeing it, or is that not an option? (If interested... our party consists of all 2 Cha and 4 Wis based characters, plus 1 artificer. The player is not happy with the Artificer and wants to play something else, but not a full caster like a wizard and not an EK, so I was thinking I could just edit a Paladin to have all the features work off Int instead of Cha)

[lucid juniper]

unfortunately, you cant edit classes. but if your friend wants an int based paladin, try an eldritch knight. its a bit different but the flavor is very similar

or a psi warrior fighter

[gray cedar]

That was my first suggestion, but she has already played an EK (and loved it) but wants to try something different. She is still relatively new and checking off the "First time playing a .... " list

Psi warrior is a great idea. Thanks!

[little plume]

on HB builder race, how would I make a racial feat where you pick one feature of 2 options and only gain the benefits of one?

Pls ping me when and if you respond

[onyx wasp]

Make 2 options?

[little plume]

is that how options work?

[onyx wasp]

Yes, and you would attach modifiers/actions/whichever to those options.

[little plume]

Thnks

[jade drift]

how do you change your email and password on DnDbeyond?

[opal pelican]

You'd have to submit a support ticket. You're still limited to only Google or Apple accounts to sign in.

[jade drift]

The email associated with the account is a yandex email but that email got deleted by yandex due to lack of use

I have the account linked to gmail

So if I contact support through a different email will they let me recover the account

[opal pelican]

Idk what yandex is, but someone contacted through support could probably help you through it.

[uneven lantern]

If you’re still logged into your DDB account, you can change your linked Google account here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

If you’re not able to access your DDB account at all, then yeah, you’ll have to contact customer support.
https://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[jade drift]

I'm logged in, and can login via google

Im doing a support ticket now what do I say exactly

I have used paypal on the account so I can transfer it to the paypal email is this good enough proof of ownership?

[uneven lantern]

Let’s back up a second.

[jade drift]

I submitted a ticket, provided screenshots of purchase history on the account and a paypal transaction

[uneven lantern]

You said it was a Yandex account that was compromised? And that’s different from the Google account currently linked to your DDB account?

If Yandex isn’t your Google, Apple, or Twitch account, then your DDB account is not compromised in any way. No recovery process should be necessary.

You can only log into DDB through Google, Apple, or Twitch.

[jade drift]

I originally created my DDB account with a twitch account which I made on the day never used that twitch account. When DDB allowed google login I only ever used that. Got an email other day informing me that my Yandex account xxxxxxx was terminated for lack of use didn't think much of it until my curseforge account randomly stopped allowing me to login. I investigated I made that with that twitch account, I managed to recover the twitch account and change the email thats when I remembered I made my DDB account with that twitch account and email.

[uneven lantern]

Gotcha

You can change or remove your linked Twitch account yourself right here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[jade drift]

My DDB is linked to the new twitch email and my gmail but still registers the yandex as preference email. To make this all the more confusing all the purchases made on that account were with paypal which uses a differnet email. I am very security driven but I am worried this maybe seen as strange or possibly fraudulent.

I have already updated the twitch details on my DDB

In the support ticket I submitted I asked to change the account email to my main personal email which is the one I used for the paypal transactions on the account

[uneven lantern]

Your purchases are tied directly to your DDB account. They don’t save your Paypal info.

[jade drift]

They do share transaction numbers though

Which is good if you need to prove ownership

[final trellis]

Is it just updating the email address that shows on the Email preferences page?

[jade drift]

Yeah

That email is dead and might be security risk if somebody revives it

[final trellis]

Not so much a security risk from a login perspective, however yes, from a support verification it might be. Also you wouldnt recieve emails or billing receipt. I need a support ticket raised to change it though -https://support.dndbeyond.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005257308-How-Do-I-Change-The-E-Mail-Associated-With-My-Account-

If you can't raise the ticket from the current email, raise from the one you want it changed to, include your Username, the current email, what you want it changed to, and as you said earlier, if you have used a certain Paypal email, include that detail in so we can verify and ill update it today (after Ive finished drinking my first coffee and have looked at the queue).

[jade drift]

Done all that 😄

[final trellis]

Then (checks queue numbers) at some point in the next couple of hours Ill get to the ticket most likely an action. 🙂

[jade drift]

I provided the original email new email, user name and images of transactions on DDB and transaction number with paypal receipt with my email and fandom/DDB on

[final trellis]

Awesome, that should make the ticket super easy and quick

[jade drift]

I don't think there is anything more I can provide proof wise besides the gmail email

[jade drift]

I never questioned lack of receipts due to getting paypal receipts would there be a way of recovering any emails sent to the original email?

[final trellis]

We cant resend emails, but we could potentially generate a pdf copy of the receipt for a website purchase and send through. Is there a specific timepoint/date where access to the email was lost? I'd need to manually check dates of purchases and generate each one.

We also do show a basic order transaction from the https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace page where you can see each order.

[jade drift]

I'm gonna email yandex see if they could recover any of the emails tied to that account.

Though given the wording in the termination email it sounded final...

It would have to be every transaction associated with the account since the only receipts I have are paypal ones

[pearl pewter]

Can one use the Enhanced Weapon infusion on thunder gauntlets and Enhanced Defence infusion on adamantine plate armor for the Artificer? When I try to pick those items as targets for the infusions they don't show up in the item list

[uneven lantern]

At this time, you’ll need to manually apply the bonus. Just click the attack on the Actions tab, then check the Customize section in the sidebar.

[pearl pewter]

Ok. Thank you

[worldly moat]

IM having trouble with custom items a lttle help please

[uneven lantern]

What kind of trouble?

[worldly moat]

The custom items are making the characters bug out and crash the computer.

[uneven lantern]

Can you be more specific? In what way do the characters “bug out”? What signs pointed to custom items as the cause of this?

Do you get the same behavior in another browser? On another device?

[queen mural]

i was wondering if there was a way to change what skill used what ability score within a subclass

that possible?

[queen mural]

i was going to say yeah, that's easy enough on the sheet

that's not that bigga worries

alright, thanks

[plush glen]

is there any way to add a homebrew item as an available Replicate Magic Item Artificer Infusion?

[modest pelican]

Nope, replicate magic item is a base character feature and cannot be modified or expanded

[plush glen]

ok, thank you

[willow flicker]

hey I'm trying to make a homebrew artifact greatsword function systematically similar to a +3 greatsword and I'm struggling to do so. I've copied as much as I can from a +3 greatsword into my artifact via the creation process but on the character sheet the damage numbers aren't the same. my artifact's damage being 2d6+5, and my copied +3 greatsword being 2d6+8. I know its a bit of a convoluted question but if anyone could help I would appreciate it

[modest pelican]

Can you link me to the magic items and the character sheet (none of them need to be published/public)

[willow flicker]

-redacted-

lmk if any link doesn't work

[modest pelican]

They're both showing up as +7 to hit, 2d6+5 damage

Are you running any extensions?

[willow flicker]

I just refreshed the page and it went down to +5

weird

[modest pelican]

Could be a caching issue or something

[willow flicker]

but shouldn't it be a +7? +2 from STR, +3 from Sword, +2 from Prof via Greatsword

in terms of damage

[modest pelican]

To hit should be +7 (+2 Str, +3 Magic Bonus, +2 Prof)
Damage should be 2d6 + 5 (+2 Str, +3 Magic Bonus)
You don't add proficiency to damage

[willow flicker]

oh i misread the Greatsword gimmick as to the damage roll

ty for the help!

[spiral ledge]

Hi there, I'm trying to change a homebrew longsword damage dice to 2d8 but no matter what I do the values stay the same. Am I missing something?

[modest pelican]

You can't modify the damage dice of weapons at this time

Your best bet would be to reflavour a similar weapon with the right damage dice

[spiral ledge]

Thanks, what would give me 2d8 in melee any idea?

[modest pelican]

Best look at the weapon list in the Basic Rules

[spiral ledge]

I suppose I could melee with a shotgun lol

[opal pelican]

You can just make a new attack action.

Then you can set the dice to be whatever you want.

1d8, 2d8, 3d8, even 4d8

[spiral ledge]

I never thought of that! Thank you o' @opal pelican the Wise 😁👍

[worldly moat]

the website (not other ones) closes when i put in custom stats

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same behavior in another browser? Or on another device?

[worldly moat]

I get the same on different devices but not on other browsers

[uneven lantern]

That’s strange. What browser are you using?

[worldly moat]

D&d vault

[modest pelican]

D&D vault isn't a browser

[worldly moat]

?

its a web

same thing to me -_-

[modest pelican]

What web browser are you using (Chrome, edge, firefox, safari, opera etc)

[worldly moat]

Chrome

gotta go though its a long drive to thanksgiving have a great day!

[uneven lantern]

Is your issue with D&D Vault, then? If so, you’d have to contact that site’s creators instead.

This channel (and the whole server) is for D&D Beyond.

[woeful ocean]

How do I make it so a homebrew race has a +2 a singular stat but a +1 to any other stat?

[opal pelican]

Like +2 str, +1 to any attribute?

[woeful ocean]

yeah

Like would a
Modifier Type - Bonus
Modifier Subtype - Charisma Score
Ability Score - CHA
Fixed Value - 2

Would that work? for the +2 stat that is

[deft junco]

This is similar to what Half-Elves have so if you create a copy of those you could take a look at how it's done.

[crystal scarab]

For the plus one you'll want bonus, choose an ability score, fixed value of 1

[woeful ocean]

Thanks, though was I right for the charisma one?

[crystal scarab]

No need to input anything for "Ability Score" but other than that Yep

[woeful ocean]

And is there any sort of way to have a limited selection of selectable proficiencies?

[prisma rampart]

where do i give tips and feedback to DDB?

[opal pelican]

#ddb-feedback

[prisma rampart]

THX.

(it helps to open my eyes 🙂 )

[uneven lantern]

You’d need to use Options for that. Make an option for each available proficiency and give it the appropriate modifier.

[woeful ocean]

[little plume]

Does anyone know if I can add the Tomb of Lavistus Eldritch Invocation to either an item, or to a subclass to be used as a level 2 warlock? I need ToL without being level 5 as i wont be reaching level 5 warlock. Ive tried adding the eldritch adept feat to an item but that only lets me choose invocations that i have unlocked already and you can't add a single Invocation as a modifier

[solid kestrel]

you wouldn't get ToL until you're warlock 5, which is the point

no warlock 5, no warlock 5 features.

[little plume]

Lame

[uneven lantern]

You could recreate that invocation on a homebrew subclass, though.

For that one, you could even just add it as a custom action directly on your sheet.

[solid kestrel]

or just as a feat and use "add feat" in the sheet

[little plume]

Cant use a feat as it still requires lvl5 lock

[uneven lantern]

I believe they meant you could create a homebrew feat that recreates the invocation.

[solid kestrel]

DDB is not loading images, like
at all

no extensions of course

[modest pelican]

@solid kestrel can you link me to one such page that isn't loading images?

[solid kestrel]

any page with an image.

Including character sheets with custom uploaded portraits.

[modest pelican]

Okay, but can you provide a link or page that you are, right now, looking at that doesn't have images?

Just makes things easier

[solid kestrel]

I could link every monster on DNDBeyond

https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/xill here's one

[modest pelican]

Does this load for you
https://www.dndbeyond.com/avatars/thumbnails/8006/158/1000/1000/637115709990332353.jpeg

[modest pelican]

Are you encountering this on multiple browsers?

I see you're on chrome, can you load on something else like edge, firefox etc

[solid kestrel]

same on other browsers

avrae, works fine
a scarce random few, like Werebear apparently, can load slowly

[modest pelican]

Okay, this sounds like either an issue with your IP not serving up the images, or possibly the node that hosts content in your region. Lemme go poke some ppl

@solid kestrel can you try clearing your cache? You may have bad site data cached that is affecting images

[solid kestrel]

cleared out 7 days, and nothing

no character sheet portrait, monsters still shy to show images

[modest pelican]

What do you mean by 'cleared out 7 days'?

[solid kestrel]

of cache

the topic at hand

[modest pelican]

That's not how cache works, you don't clear it out by date

Did you maybe clear your history?

Can you show me what option you clicked?

Oh, I see what you mean now
Under 'Basic', can you check just 'Cached images and files' and set it to 'All time'?

[solid kestrel]

the last 7 days of cached stuff

[modest pelican]

Yeah, I figured out what you meant. There's a chance the corrupted data is cached from before 7-days ago

Hence the above instructions

[solid kestrel]

This has only been happening since less than 5 days ago

my cache has not time travelled

[modest pelican]

No, but your cache can become corrupted at any time

Your cached files may be more than a week old, but could have become corrupted within the last week

I am actively trying to help resolve this issue and rule out various factors

So there's no need for sarcasm/factiousness

[keen mural]

Basically I'm making a class that's based off the myrmidon and other 'critical hit swordsman' tropes. How would you make a feature that gives weapons with versatile the finesse property?

[modest pelican]

You can't currently do that

You can write it as a description, but the system can't modify the properties of weapons as far as I'm aware

[keen mural]

Alright. Well. Can I make attacks with those weapons use dex?

[crystal scarab]

You can add additional properties to individual weapons through the magic item homebrew, but you can't add a property to a category of them at the same time

[modest pelican]

Again, no. Currently there's nothing in the homebrew system that lets subclasses modify weapons (for one example)

[keen mural]

Okay, well. How does Hexblade handle making your weapons charisma based?

[crystal scarab]

I think it's "Bonus" "Weapon Attack with Charisma" or something to that extent

[keen mural]

Alright, thanks

[uneven lantern]

Hexblade was built using the darkest magics of the Shadowfell.

You won’t be able to use that for your own subclasses.

[opal pelican]

What about Battlesmith?

[queen burrow]

I know that the encounter builder is still in beta and don’t wanna seem like I am complaining I was just trying to delete one of my encounters from my list and just wanted to know if it is a minor bug or if I was doing something wrong

[uneven lantern]

There’s a known issue with deleting unnamed encounters.

If you name it first, it will usually let you delete it.

[queen burrow]

i just tried and naming it and then deleting it fix my problem thank you

[onyx wasp]

It's in the names. Just gotta have the properly named features (and selected options). Managed to make a hexblade subclass for wizard for example, lol.

[onyx wasp]

They have a modifier that causes all magic weapons to use Intelligence. (Modifiers exist for all the other abilities as well.)

[lunar tapir]

I bought the player's handbook source book not too long ago and when I looked at my bank balance it costed $15 more than it displayed, is there a way to get a refund or anything?

[opal pelican]

How much did it cost?

And are you in a different country than USA?

[lunar tapir]

It said it costed $30 plus $3 tax but instead costed $45

Yeah

I'm in Australia

[opal pelican]

It might have been conversion rates? What does it say you paid here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[lunar tapir]

$32.99

[opal pelican]

That's in USD, I don't know the conversation

[lunar tapir]

oh ok thanks

[opal pelican]

Yeah, $33 USD is around $45 Australia money.

Google says 46.31 AUD

[lunar tapir]

ok thanks

[opal pelican]

You want like #dm-discussion. My advice would be to have a conversation with them and say if they don't change the behavior then they can't play.

This is just for help with the DnD Beyond website.

It's an issue with the dndbeyond site cookie, specifically the text value in the "Ratings" field can be thousands of bytes long. I posted a workaround for Chrome on the ddb forums and have a support ticket in regarding this issue. https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/108539-portraits-not-loading?comment=48

I run into images not loading on ddb daily. I have to use this work around multiple times a day. I have this issue in different browsers and on completely different desktops.

I do have over 1400 private, published, and deleted homebrew things I've created. I don't have enough data to see if excessive homebrew creations is a contributing factor to this issue.

[stoic bone]

how do i submit my ddb character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Submit it to who? For what?

[hushed plover]

Does anyone know about a good D&D type dice bot/webhook for discord? I've been running a group on here and someone just asked about a bot for rolling dice.

the encounter needs to be named to delete it

it cant be "Unnamed Encounter"

[floral linden]

nah yeah they are named

they just wont delete

[willow flicker]

I'm encountering a new issue while formatting a homebrew item. It seems that whatever header level I set my item to, right after a spoiler, is either undoing the header format or increasing it's size by a lot

any idea what i'm talkin about?

the word Dormant is set to header 5, and the words Abilities/Attunement are set to header 4

but when i save the post it doesn't appear that way clearly

[somber reef]

I want the Artificer class, but do I have to purchase the whole Tasha's book, or just one of the subclasses, like Armorer?

[solid kestrel]

just a subclass

but of course, getting the whole book has OCF for base classes and also all the content

[somber reef]

True. But I'm just getting started and don't want to spend a whole fortune for just one character (yet).

Thanks. 😄

[onyx wasp]

In order of font size, the headers go 1, 2, 3, 4, 6. I think header 5 is the same size as 3.

[willow flicker]

https://tenor.com/boTl6.gif

heard ty!

[onyx wasp]

This looks different when you are editing, however:

Also note that Header 1 is actually not available. You have to click </> and type <h1>text</h1>.

[onyx wasp]

However! When you look at an item on the character sheet, the headers look like this:

[deft junco]

The spell is real, but that site is piracy so don't mention it in here.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/catapult

[somber reef]

Oh, sorry.

[deft junco]

@somber reef Again, that site is piracy, stop mentioning it.

[somber reef]

I didn't realize I was double posting. Sorry

The bot deleted my post, so I wasn't sure anyone saw it.

I was only using it to get the items I would need to purchase legit things.

Ah, it was in Elemental Evil Player's Companion. Thanks.

Which I can't find. Is it still for sale and I just can't find it?

[dawn egret]

That one is free.

it's already incorporated on Beyond for free

[somber reef]

Oh, nice. Thanks.

[little plume]

a small question but why are two different weights showing up here

59lb and 54lb

[edgy oriole]

Things in backpack vs things equipped outside of backpack? Not sure.

[little plume]

thought so, but then one of the weights should be lower

[opal pelican]

How much does a backpack weigh?

[little plume]

5lb

OH

oh

that makes sense

thank you!

No problem.

[distant yew]

Hey.. I was just looking for some pistols to add to a character, and I found springload pistol from 5e. But when I tried to look it for in dndbeyond I can't find it. Is there any reason for that ?

[solid kestrel]

let me guess, dandwiki?

The only official DND guns are in the DMG, and the topaz annihilator magic item from FTOD.

You may want a Pistol (Renaissance).

[distant yew]

Oh. Thanks

Oh sorry

Um

I can't access it

Nvm

Got the role

[woeful ocean]

How do I make it so that a homebrew race would have advantage on being poisoned?

[naive lodge]

Again, homebrew questions and discussion should go in #homebrew

[woeful ocean]

my bad

[midnight orbit]

Magic Item search. Spell attached: (specific spell) but no toggle Yes/No???

[violet pilot]

Anyone know when the Sale is gonna start?

I know it’s next week but idk what time/day it starts/ends

[little plume]

Monday

I'd guess midnight or 8am either eastern, central, or pacific time.

[violet pilot]

Wasn’t sure if it was just monday or if it was a weeklong sale

[little plume]

No idea how long. I imagine a week

[violet pilot]

Cool

[little plume]

Most sales I've seen last a few days at least.

Thank you

[fallow plaza]

Hello, just wondering if anyone would be available for vc (in about an hour) to help me out with creating a race in Beyond?

[solid elm]

Quick question, if I turn off shared content to an old campaign, will my players still be able to view their characters?

Like they won't need to edit them ever again, but I would hate to just toss them aside

[opal pelican]

Yup, they can.

[fallow plaza]

I am in voice chat, if anyone wishes to help

[solid kestrel]

it would automatically do so. Whichever ability modifier is used for the attack.

what weapons do you have equipped

make sure one of your scimitars has the "Dual-Wield" box ticked, then it should show it in your bonus actions.

what's your ability modifier

the one you're attacking with

for the scimitar
the ability score you're using for attack and damage

it has finesse so it automatically picks the higher out of STR/DEX, so whichever is higher

can you send a screen snip of your actions

looks perfectly fine to me

both are +4 to hit, 1d6+2 damage

it is

the +2 there

sorry, what?

yes

it's working

no

without the style, it wouldn't apply to the TWF attack.

TWF the bonus action says you don't add your ability modifier to this bonus attack, unless it's negative.
TWF the fighting style says you do get to add it to the bonus attack.

[novel bramble]

I cant roll my acount is broken

Even if i turn rolls on

They dont work

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same problem in another browser? Or on another device?

[novel bramble]

i only use chrome and i only have one laptop

Should i test it on bing or download something else?

Plus weapons

[uneven lantern]

You could also try Chrome’s incognito mode, then.

[crystal scarab]

Iirc incognito mode doesn't allow you to use cookies

Third party ones*

[frozen citrus]

Could someone help me with something?

[opal pelican]

Sure, what's up?

[noble holly]

Could i get some help figuring out why my homebrew subclass cant be published

[prisma fulcrum]

What happens when you try?

[frozen citrus]

Umm could I need help with my character’s alignment

[uneven lantern]

What kind of help?

If you need help deciding on an alignment, the folks in #character-discussion can give you some advice.

[radiant anchor]

why am I getting 2 plus misc bonus??

[grim finch]

Is there any plan to ever fix the clockwork sorcerer's features on DDB? It's been a year and the Clockwork Magic options still don't show up in the player's spell list (specifically the abjuration / transmutation options)

[radiant anchor]

the plus two is giving me a headahce

headache*

[safe lion]

it says (size) next to it; you can't find anything related to that? could you post a link to the page?

[uneven lantern]

I’m guessing it has something to do with your homebrew race there.

[radiant anchor]

it says that the page isn't available

[uneven lantern]

But yeah, a link to your character sheet would help.

[radiant anchor]

oh

https://ddb.ac/characters/60863224/KhWVhM

there ya go

[safe lion]

i can't see anything off on the page myself. try changing the race to a non-homebrew to see if that fixes it

[uneven lantern]

If you want to swap those spells, you can make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change them there.

[grim finch]

That's not a fix, that's a work around.

[onyx wasp]

If you read how wizard spellbooks work, it tells you how you learn more or add more to it. That will tell you why it is possible for you to do.

[somber gorge]

So the books are on sale tomorrow for $19.99, if I buy one of them and the normal price is $29.99 will that reduce the price of the bundles by $19.99 or $29.99?

[naive lodge]

It reduces by the amount you have spent.

[thorny linden]

I’m going to be running a sci-fi game and want to create laser rifles that aren’t as beefy as what’s in the DMG but I’m having trouble. Is there a way to create weapons from the ground up or do they all have to be from a template?

[little plume]

First determine the range of damage you want, Id recommend 2d4 or 1d10 for this. 2nd determine attack range, This is important too the weapons use cases. 3rd, Choose a damage type, Id recommend radiant or force for lasers but thats your call. Finally, add applicable properties such as ammo, reloading, ranged, and If the wepon has the simple, martial, or special tags

[thorny linden]

Thanks! I have all of that sorted out - using some I found from other sources. I’m just wondering if there’s a way to actually build that in the homebrew section as a weapon. I tried and it just tacks the damage on as bonus damage to whatever weapon I choose as base.

[little plume]

OH I have no idea about that

[thorny linden]

Haha. No problem. Thank you nonetheless.

[untold kernel]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has a fix for the characters in my campaign not showing as leveled up once I increase their level in the builder. They seem still level 4 until I click into the builder then they are level 5 while editing. Thank you in advance!

[viscid hound]

could be a caching issue

[untold kernel]

Yup, that did it. Thank you @viscid hound !

[viscid hound]

no problem!

[uneven lantern]

You might have better luck adding it directly to their character sheets as a custom action. Just go to the Actions tab on their sheet and hit the “Manage Custom” button in the top-right corner.

[thorny linden]

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you! 🙏

[distant kernel]

So what time does the sale start? Does anyone know?

[final trellis]

Soon™️

[distant kernel]

Fair

Though, less helpful than I'd hoped

[final trellis]

Okay, Cyber Monday Sale is Live! (the soon was due to the devs and I triple checking - didn't want to give you a time then relaise we missed it because we were confirming that everything updated correctly)

[distant kernel]

Haha

Fair enough

I appreciate the update

Time to go empty my wallet. (I hope I didn't sound rude. I understand the situation, I was just a bit impatient)

[marble spade]

I think I may have heard the answer once, but I don't remember. If you already won a Legendary Bundle and then won another one later, would you be able to enter the code and get the books you don't have? Or would it not work because you already technically already have the Legendary Bundle?

[final trellis]

Would not work, because you cant use a code for a product you already own (even though it is a different version)

[marble spade]

Okay, thank you.

[fathom mauve]

is arcane grimore +1 suppose to give u +1 attack to wizard spell or all spell ?

[modest pelican]

Wizard spells

[fathom mauve]

hmm something is wrong with ddb then? coz my arcane grimore +1 is adding +1 to artificer spell (magic stone)

[final trellis]

Off the top of my head, Im pretty sure the Tasha's Support thread mentions that they are not setup correctly and require new modifiers to be created

[fathom mauve]

ah okies then

[final trellis]

Yes - support thread calls this out:

All-Purpose Tool, Amulet of the Devout, Arcane Grimoire, Bloodwell Vial, Rhythm-Maker’s Drum, Moon Sickle - These items currently grant their bonus to all spells, rather than just ones for the specified class. We will work on the required modifier to resolve this.

[fathom mauve]

okie dokie thanks

[wraith bridge]

Heard in the last dev update that if we gift something, we will get a gift in return too. Question: is it something specific for the cyberweek or something general like last year's gift-wrapped dice. Also is it for gifting books only or does it work with gifting the new dice set too?

[placid kayak]

Just bought the source book bundle and when I finished paying it suddenly added a $20 vat/gst tax on. US isn't a VAT country. Will I be getting that money back?

[modest pelican]

Tax is calculated based on region of purchase at time of purchase. This could be a tax based on your state

If you believe this tax was applied incorrect, you're best off entering a customer service ticket https://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[placid kayak]

Everything I am finding doesn't show my state having either VAT or GST.

[final trellis]

VAT and GST are similar to Sales Tax - The termss are used to signify a tax of some sort

The tax rate charged is based on your location.

[placid kayak]

Ok, if that is the case why did it not show till after payment? It showed $0.00 until the payment was finished?

[final trellis]

It should have updated once you go past the address steps.

[placid kayak]

Not that I saw. I used PayPal so it took me to there for payment and then when I got back to the finished payment screen it only showed then

[final trellis]

It might be that the PayPal step got kick started before seeing, but we've charges Sales Tax for over a year now on purchases.

[slim wedge]

Can I not add custom items to a container, but just to my 'equipment'? I can only seem to remove them and not move them.

[modest pelican]

You can't currently add or move custom items to containers. This is something the team is working on however

[slim wedge]

Oh okay, in that case I'll patiently wait - thanks!

[placid kayak]

Are gem dragons not being added to draconic sorcerer's bloodline selections?

[violet vortex]

Nope

[placid kayak]

It that a balancing thing because of WotC said they won't be or just not something DDB is working on just yet?

[violet vortex]

Your guess is as good as mine tbh

[uneven lantern]

Those rules would have to come from WotC first.

But you can always make a homebrew copy of that subclass and add them in. (For private use only; please don’t publish it.)

[placid kayak]

Dang, would love to have amethyst draconic bloodline so I could add my charisma to eldritch blast when I multiclass into warlock and then get agonizing blast to add it again

With 20 charisma adding +10 to every eldritch blast hit would be nuts.

[uneven lantern]

Elemental Affinity only applies to one damage roll of the spell, so not every EB hit.

[solid kestrel]

but you could get that 1d10+10 hit once per turn if you did so

[placid kayak]

Well two if you could get illusionist's bracers.

Or quickened a second eldritch blast

[modest pelican]

You want #character-discussion for that kind of discussion

[modest grail]

This is weird. I am looking to buy the upcoming Critical Role book during the current sale, but I cannot find it to add to my cart. When I go to sourcebooks, it tells me I own it all.

[modest pelican]

What happens if you turn off the filter?

[modest pelican]

Oh, it's not in sourcebooks, it's in adventures

https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/adventures/critical-role-call-of-the-netherdeep

[half rose]

Can I buy a gift for someone with a free membership on ddb?

[modest pelican]

Yep, owning content does not require a membership

[modest grail]

Thank you for this. Looks like we're in business.

worth noting the fine print, the cyber sale excludes pre-orders

[manic robin]

I'm attempting to buy Fiizban's but keep getting an error (ERROR:Gateway Rejected: avs-GATEWAY_REJECTED). I've used both my computer and my phone but it's just not working. Any idea on what could be causing this?

[uneven lantern]

AVS = Address Verification System

You'll need to double-check that the billing address you entered matches exactly what's on file with your card issuer.

It could be something as small as an extra space or a missing period causing the issue.

[lunar nest]

IDK if this fits for this channel, it does anyone know what the pre-order perks for Strixhaven are?

[violet vortex]

I don’t believe they’ve announced them yet

[wanton shard]

I don't believe so, either. Outside of the general info from the pre-order page:

Pre-order Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos now on D&D Beyond for exclusive character sheet customizations and Strixhaven-inspired digital dice, available when the book launches.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/strixhaven-a-curriculum-of-chaos

[lunar nest]

alright, thanks!

[lime void]

Do D&D Beyond coupons work during this cyber week sale?
When i try a coupon, nothing happens.
Thats why I ask, just wondering if it's me or they're disabled during this event

[wanton shard]

I'm not certain whether there are any active coupon codes at the moment

[lime void]

I'm interested in buying the big bundle for all 44 books, but $729 is still an enormous amount of money lol.

[wanton shard]

It is also an enormous amount of resources 😄

[lime void]

I'm just not seeing any confirmation on whether it works or not

the coupon I mean

If I can't get a coupon to lower the price a bit, I'll probably just not purchase :/

Its too much

[wanton shard]

If a coupon code is invalid, it should tell you 'Invalid code' when entered, or if expired it will say 'Code has expired'. If there is a code that applies to items in your cart, it should appear in the sidebar that calculates the total.

[lime void]

Yep

This is correct for an expired coupon

Although the coupons I tried didn't give me any response

I was wondering if it was something with my popup blocker or something

[wanton shard]

That's certainly possible. Let me see whether I can confirm if there are any coupon codes currently active.

[lime void]

I clicked apply coupon, nothing happens

[wanton shard]

Have you tried disabling your extensions?

[lime void]

I turned them off for dnd beyond just now

I tried an invalid or old coupon and DND beyond told me it was invalid

I tried others as well and instead of it saying invalid, it did nothing

[hallow juniper]

hi. question from when did beyond started adding TAX VAT to price? last time i got books there were no TAX VAT. now it ads 30$ to the price.

[wanton shard]

D&D Beyond started implementing sales tax for several European countries in 2021, to comply with their tax laws.

It started as early as November 2019 in certain parts of the world: https://twitter.com/DnDBeyond/status/1189588043860082688?s=20

D&D Beyond (@DnDBeyond)

On November 5th, D&D Beyond must start charging sales tax on purchases in some regions, and other regions over time. Head to our Marketplace now for pre-tax discounted prices! https://t.co/xGCSlaWy7Z

Twitter · Oct 30, 2019, 5:01 PM

[hallow juniper]

so doo i just put any country that doesnt have vat if i pay with paypal? as its not physical books to put real addres for delivery

[wanton shard]

I'm not an expert when it comes to PayPal, but I suspect that your address and payment options might be linked. In any case, committing tax fraud is illegal and therefore not appropriate for discussion in this server.

[modest pelican]

You need to enter a valid address so the system can correctly apply any relevent tax, even if you're paying using PayPal

[hallow juniper]

welp there goes my sourcebook collection 😦 paying taxes for virtual things is beyond me.

[modest pelican]

It's the law I'm afraid

@lime void there are no active coupons at this time, so any coupon you may be trying is invalid

[lime void]

Ah okay, thanks.

I'll pass on the event, its just a bit too expensive 😄

[wanton shard]

I believe that, traditionally, the Cyber Week sales are the steepest discount offered. It has even been advertised as "D&D Beyond's biggest sale of the year!"

[lime void]

It is a nice sale, but one of my concerns is if D&D Beyond ever goes under for whatever reason. Nothing lasts forever, especially something digital.

I'm afraid to pump $800+ into sales and then not have access to it in 10 years

I'd still have the physical books, but not all the benefits of D&D beyond

[prisma fulcrum]

That's a risk, yeah

[past python]

Hello! So I am new to D&D and D&D beyond. I am trying out the frozen sick module. I have created a campaign named the same thing. Is there any way to add the source book that I got from D&D beyond to the Campaign? Sorry. I'm trying to figure all of this out lol.

[modest pelican]

Currently you don't add adventures to campaigns. Campaigns are primarily for

• grouping characters
• providing DM access to character sheets
• content sharing
• dice roll sharing

[sly nymph]

Happy Holidays! I received the following story award, and when I try to add it, My Resistances show I have resistance to Bludgeoning, piercing.... etc. as part of my Character. Suggestions please as how to create a reaction that invokes the resistances in the Story award below? You gain proficiency in Infernal. In addition, if you’re hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks that aren’t silvered until the end of your next turn. Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you’ve completed a long rest. This story award may only be applied to the character who gained the level awarded above.

[modest pelican]

@sly nymph you probably wanna ask in #homebrew. If you can't see that channel, you'll need to set your role in #880965682462875679

[sly nymph]

Oops! Thank you for the kind redirection @modest pelican . Have a great week!

[past python]

Thank's all!

[manic robin]

Hmm I’m clicking the “use same address as shipping” box and I’m still getting it.

[uneven lantern]

There is no shipping address because nothing gets shipped. There's an "Address of Residence" that's used to calculate sales tax.

Regardless, does that address exactly match the address on file for your payment method?

[past python]

Sorry for the dumb questions but are the hit points the same as the total players health?

[opal pelican]

Usually.

[wanton shard]

Effectively, yes.

Your character’s hit points define how tough your character is in combat and other dangerous situations.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/step-by-step-characters#HitPointsandHitDice
Hit points represent a combination of physical and mental durability, the will to live, and luck. Creatures with more hit points are more difficult to kill. Those with fewer hit points are more fragile.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/combat#HitPoints

[onyx topaz]

I have a Master subscription but my app shows me having a hero subscription?! Is this limiting what I can do with the app and if so, how can I change it?

[main grail]

Is there something that needs to be enabled for multiclass spell slots to calculate correctly? I have a Cleric 1/Artificer 2 that if I understand correctly from here https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/customization-options#Spellcasting should have 4 first level slots and 2 second level slots, but I only get 3 first level on the character sheet an no option on spells like Cure Wounds to cast at second level. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

[little plume]

Wouldn't that be 2 level 1 spell slots from Cleric and half of 2 level 1 spells slots from Artificer (because Artificer is a half caster)? That gives you a total of 3 level 1 spells slots for a Cleric 1/Artificer 2.

Spell Slots. You determine your available spell slots by adding together all your levels in the bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes, half your levels (rounded down) in the paladin and ranger classes, and a third of your fighter or rogue levels (rounded down) if you have the Eldritch Knight or the Arcane Trickster feature. Use this total to determine your spell slots by consulting the Multiclass Spellcaster table.
Artificer is considered a half caster.

[main grail]

Ah of course I was forgetting Artificer is a half caster thank you, see I knew I was missing something!

[mossy anchor]

if i buy the LEGENDARY bundle will i get every book that comes out after?

or just the ones that are published currently

[wanton shard]

Just the currently published ones. You will, however, receive 15% off of future sourcebook orders

[mossy anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/buajaja-patricio-patrick-star-rub-hands-rubbing-hands-gif-13392702

[last acorn]

I got the player bundle in hopes that it will allow me to create characters without much limitations but I just found out that I will have to spend at least the same amount again to really be able to have all the available options.
Is there a way to "undo" the purchase?

[timid yarrow]

Ayo does someone know how to add spellcasting to a fighter subclass ive turned on the Can cast spells addded the spell lists and added the spell modifier?
on dnd beyond

[prisma rampart]

I got a problem, i cant roll my DMG...

[onyx wasp]

It has to have a feature called 'Spellcasting'. Yes, really.

[timid yarrow]

So i just add a feature called spellcasting?

[edgy oriole]

Damage or Dungeon Master’s Guidebook?

[timid yarrow]

Also what level would the spellcasting be granted at

or does it not matter

[edgy oriole]

Typically any casters can cast starting at their first level.

[timid yarrow]

this is a fighter subclass but ill put it at level 1

[edgy oriole]

That said, feats like Magic Initiate show that one could mechanically add spellcasting features at later levels.

[prisma rampart]

Damage

[edgy oriole]

Follow up question- are you on the website or using the mobile app?

[prisma rampart]

webb

[edgy oriole]

If on the website make sure to disable any extensions that can interfere with DnDBeyond functionality (noscript, ad blockers, Beyond20)

[prisma rampart]

its only a problem on one of my caracters...

[solid kestrel]

make sure you've got rolling turned on

so the box appears around the numbers

[prisma rampart]

yes i got that, i can roll everytihng else - just not the damage not working....

ok ,now i got an error, best to w8 for ddb to repair it as it say.

thx anyway.

[onyx wasp]

Level 3 works. And yes really, you just need a feature with that name (and of course give the subclass a spellcasting ability and a spell list).

[solid kestrel]

a fighter subclass doesn't go at level 1

[plain whale]

Why should I homebrew a weapon if i cant equip it to my character?

[uneven lantern]

What do you mean?

[plain whale]

If i create a homebrew weapon and i go to add item and search for it (with homebrew allowed) i cant find it

[sly wave]

The Expanded spells from Tashas do not show up as an option for Spell Mastery even if they are in your spellbook

[plain whale]

Huh ?!? weapon talk dude

[plain whale]

No comprendo Senor

I was talking about homebrew weapons

Not spells

[swift pelican]

I think they were bringing up a new issue, not trying to answer yours. They could have communicated that in a better way than a passive aggressive emoji though

[plain whale]

Oh ok that makes sense @sly wave i take it back

[swift pelican]

Just try not to get worked up and sarcastic about things right away, you could be misunderstanding things and it makes you look pretty rude

[plain whale]

@swift pelican Thanks i will do that

[opal pelican]

@plain whale try adding to to different areas. I think some of the bags don't allow homebrew items to go in them.

[plain whale]

Please explain a bit more

[uneven lantern]

I’d suggest also checking that the homebrew item is still in your My Homebrew Collection, and that you don’t have any other filters enabled when adding the item.

[plain whale]

ok will do

[uneven lantern]

If it was added in the last fifteen minutes or so, it might also be a caching issue.

[plain whale]

oh nice

[gloomy hornet]

i have a question about putting in a thing for a homebrew, the ability states that it adds a point of damage to all attacks made with a weapon i am profficient in but i dont know how to add that to the sheet

[gloomy hornet]

how would i also add something like a penalty to hit?

are these things just things to be remembered by the player and dont have a specific way to enter them?

[uneven lantern]

For both of those, I’d suggest customizing the applicable weapons after they’ve been added to the sheet.

Just click the weapon and open the Customize section in the sidebar.

[gloomy hornet]

oh! okay cool thank you

[tiny comet]

wait so does the DDB player bundle come with all the player options?

and just 4 player focused books

or does it only include the stuff from those 4 player focused books

[modest pelican]

It only contains content from those 4 books

[tiny comet]

oh ok still vv nice tho

[lucid juniper]

do you mean does it come with the readable books on dndbeyond?

[solemn bane]

Just curious why i can't choose "Triton" as a my race when I have volo's shared with me, is it not possible and I gotta home brew?

[modest pelican]

Are you making the character within the campaign through which the content is being shared (by going to the invite link and selecting the option to make a new character)?

[solemn bane]

No, I'm trying to make it directly through my character roster

[modest pelican]

Then you won't have access to the shared content in the builder

[solemn bane]

Would I have to own the source material directly in order to be able to do that?

[lucid juniper]

you have to make it in the campaign to be able to use shared content

[lucid juniper]

yea

[solemn bane]

Ah alright, thanks for clarifying!

[modest pelican]

Yep

Or homebrew it

[tiny comet]

no I was just asking if they only included content from the books in the bundle, or if they included the four books, and included all the other player content that aren't in these books via piecemeal

but davyd cleared that up for me so nvm

[dense maple]

Don't know if this is a DDB or general DnD rules thing, but... a character in a new campaign I'm starting has the Observant feat, so has a ridiculous high passive perception. I was reading up on how to DM this, but now I realize that in the campaign view on my phone app (Android) it says 'Passive Perception 5 ft.'(it's part of the 'Senses' list. However, if I look at the same character in the web version I can't find this. I've also been searching if I can find anything about a range for passive perception in general or as part of the Observant feat. Anybody any idea what this is and means?

[solid kestrel]

passive perception range is not a thing AFAIK, that might just be a display quirk of a "sense"

since usually senses are like, darkvision 60 feet, etc

[modest pelican]

That is a known issue with the observant feat

[dense maple]

you mean a DDB issue or really part of the feat..?

[modest pelican]

A D&D Beyond issue; it's expressing the +5 as a range

[dense maple]

thanks. I won't worry about it then 🙂

[prisma rampart]

is plugins ddb aproved?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond does not have any officially support plugins or extensions except for the avrae discord bot and the twitch overlay

[prisma rampart]

so like vtt is not aproved by ddb?

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond does not have a vtt

[prisma rampart]

i look on yutuber "beond! games. and he play on a vtt on ddb. (its a relativ new vidio) (im new her so i dont now much)

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond does not have a vtt, nor does it support or connect to any other vtt

[prisma rampart]

above vtt is the name...?

[dawn egret]

Still not a VTT by Beyond.

[modest pelican]

That is not something officially supported by D&D Beyond. We recommend people don't use unofficial, unsupported extensions/applications that modify the D&D Beyond website

[prisma rampart]

thats wy i ask. to bad tho that ddb dont have one.

thx for the into..

[prisma rampart]

one question; if i get a master monthly subskribtion - can i cheer my books w my campange iven if im not the DM?

[modest pelican]

Yep, you can enable content sharing in up to five campaigns you're in and it'll share all books owned by everyone even if you're not the dm

[prisma rampart]

Nice! thanks 🙂

[hardy island]

hey so I have a weird question. I was just comparing the list of spells available to me in the Player's Handbook and on DnD Beyond and Beyond has more cantrips than the handbook? What's that about?

[uneven lantern]

They might be the spells from the free Elemental Evil Player’s Companion.

Or if you’re in a campaign where Content Sharing is enabled, they might be spells that someone else in your group has purchased from another book.

[hardy island]

ohhhh yeah that would make sense

[uneven lantern]

Or they could even be homebrew from someone else in your campaign.

[hardy island]

my DM did mention he turned on content sharing but I didn't realize what he meant at the time lol

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, that’s probably it, then.

[hardy island]

well cool! thanks for clearing that up for me lol

When that’s enabled, everyone’s books get shared with the whole group.

So they can use your PHB, and you can use whatever game content they own.

dndbeyond doesnt have an api or anything right? I'm trying to get a list of all monsters and some info about them, ideally that anyone logged in would have access to (if theyre not logged in, just SRD, etc)

[modest pelican]

No, D&D Beyond doesn't have any official, public facing API

[trail jewel]

hmmm

[mild badger]

Is it possible to transfer DMship of a campaign to someone else while continue content sharing?

[uneven lantern]

Not a "transer", no. You'd need the new DM to create a new campaign first.

The players can remove their characters from the current campaign and then add them to the new one.

And the person who enabled content sharing can disable the old and re-enable it for the new as well.

Ok, thanks 🙂

Hello, i was trying to purchase something via the D&D beyond app and noticed that none of the books were on sale?
Is this just for me? Or is this intentional by D&D Beyond?

[dawn violet]

The sale is only through the website. It is not available on the app. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

However, buying them through the website will give you access to them in the app.

Does anyone know if the discount code for 50% off the Players Handbook in DDB from the Essiensals Kit is still valid or did it have an experation date?

[final trellis]

They are still valid

Is there a way to block people from D&D Beyond?

[edgy oriole]

You mean you as a person blocking someone from DnDBeyond?

No - there is no way to do that on your end.
DnDBeyond staff/devs could potentially "block" someone (e.g. remove an account/prevent them from creating an account in the future) but I doubt they would do that without very good cause.

So I have fizbans dragon book, but when I go to create a dragon born I see none of the extra options. What am I doing wrong?

[uneven lantern]

When you say you "have" the book, does that mean you bought it yourself, or is it being shared with you?
