uh hey, i'm (kinda) new to D&D, i want to play as a sorcerer but I guess I didn't understand how the spells work, like, how do I obtain them? i choose them once i reach specific levels?

opal pelican
#

Yes, you learn 1 spell per level (typically). Just look at your class table.

maiden harbor
#

i'll look it up ty

opal pelican
#

Here.

#

It shows Cantrips Known and Spells Known in the columns.

maiden harbor
#

i had only played as monk before so i didn't learn how spellcasters work

opal pelican
#

Different ones are different. Like Cleric is different than sorcerer which is different than wizard.

#

Is there a reason you can’t edit you proficiency bonus? I woulda thought you can edit it for any reason you would wanna expand your character level past 20

edgy oriole
#

DnDBeyond only supports 5e official rules.
And the official 5e rules don't have anything beyond level 20.

gaunt merlin
#

Oh okay thank you

uneven lantern
#

You can do it with homebrew, though. (I used a homebrew feat when mine changed.)

red shoal
#

wondering if someone could help me - i made a homebrew magic item, but can't seem to add that item to my character. the "homebrew" toggle is checked, i was wondering what the main troubleshooting steps were

solid kestrel
red shoal
#

so i made 2 versions, 1 a feat, the other an item -feat shows up, item doesn't

#

i remade the items and it seems to work now so...

Hello, i'm having a lot trouble with my sub hero tier, when i try to use any of the features shows that i'm not sub, also when i click on subscribe button my username changes and the subscription appears (i never logged out). them when i change pages go back without sub. Sorry for the broken english.

modest pelican
#

Maybe try signing out and then verifying you're signing back in with the correct details
You say you've never logged out; there was a site wide account log out a few months back to allow some updates

whole zenith
#

nope nothing change

#

it was fine a couple weeks ago

#

just now when i try use it to play recently this started happening

modest pelican
#

When you log in, are you seeing the correct username?

whole zenith
#

in the app on my phone it appears as Kiings (my real username) and sad that i dont have any subscription

but no access to the sub

Hello. I am very new to the digital part of D&D. I am putting together my first campaign digitally on D&D Beyond and I am wondering if there is a way to import my digital purchased campaign on beyond into the campaign or if I need to create each encounter within the campaign. Thank you for your help!

modest pelican
#

You will need to create each encounter, but the ability to import encounters from published adventures is something the team is looking into

cosmic wigeon
#

ok. thank you.

uneven lantern
cosmic wigeon
#

done. thank you

#

Im making a homebrew spell, but it isnt scaling correctly based on level. The additional dice just dont show up

#

These are the settings i currently have in the editor

uneven lantern
#

I think you want "Additional Points" for damage scaling.

#

But you can make a homebrew copy of any existing spell if you want to see how the official ones were set up. It's a good way to compare notes.

#

Be aware that homebrew edits can also take up to 15 minutes before they'll show up on the character sheet, so if the change doesn't fix it right away, you might need to wait a bit.

#

if i take duel wielder Feat.. is there a way to get the +1 AC to be recognized?

uneven lantern
#

Yep. Click on the weapon you want to use for your TWF bonus action, open the Customize section in the sidebar, and click "Dual Wield".

fickle dust
#

oh thank you!

#

i figured there was a way

empty totem
#

Am I correct in thinking it's not currently possible to rename Player Characters (or monsters for that matter) in the Encounters Combat Tracker while the encounter is being run?

modest pelican
#

That's correct, although you can edit a character or homebrewed monster and then save and reload the encounter and the changes should show up

empty totem
#

Understood. It would be very nice to have a "quick rename" function so that generalized encounters can easily be reused without having Characters created in a campaign. I will submit it as feedback. 🙂

How does purchasing items individually and sales interact? Lets say I purchase 5 items which cost 1.99 (2) each, which would reduce the cost of a book by 10 EUR (Correct?), And the book costs 30 EUR, So the book is now 20. If a 25% sale takes place, do you get 25% off that 20?

#

I'm not sure how else it'd work, just want to double check :P

modest pelican
#

Individual purchases give you credit towards the book
Buy three things at $2 and the price of a $30 book will be reduced to $24
If the book is put on sale for $20, you still have the same $6 credit, meaning it'll be $14 instead

bronze lantern
#

Alright, Thanks!

Hi everyone, I just started using d&d beyond character creator and sheet app and it's awesome
I figured out how to share d&d beyond characters to my friends through the campaign-unassign-claim method, but I have a question
If I generate a character using content from some paid sourcebook can I still share this character with someone who didn't buy that source?

uneven lantern
#

You can, but they might run into issues later as they level up.

#

And if they removed anything, like if they change their prepared spells, they won’t be able to add it back.

#

But if someone (anyone) in your group has a Master Tier subscription, they can enable Content Sharing for your campaign. Then everyone else will be able to use your purchased character options in that campaign (and you can use theirs).

#

i can not find how to get a flail no matter where i look i can not find it for some reason help

#

and when i search it does no appear

uneven lantern
#

If you can’t find it on your sheet, double-check that you don’t have any conflicting filters selected. For example, having the Proficient checkbox selected if you’re not proficient.

plain whale
#

never mind sorry

#

i cheated and it worked

hey can anyone help me? my character sheet is completely whited out on my pc but on my phone its fine

edgy oriole
#

Are you using any adblockers, VPN, or other web browser extensions that interact with DnDBeyond? Try disabling them, clearing your browser cache, and refreshing your browser and see if that helps clear it up.

Okay I have a question, I have someone who wants to Co-DM in my discord. We will share the same players. Do they need their own Discord Channel in my server with their own campaign that my same players join. So she can DM her campaign with my players and I also Run them in my campaign with them. Is that possible? Or does she just use the same Channel for my campaign?

#

Has anyone come up with a good way to build a Sidekick as per the rules in Tasha's? I'm guessing you can't really on DnD Beyond unless you homebrew a strange sub-class?

dawn egret
#

no, you just... take a monster statblock and add the stuff as per the tasha rules

modest pelican
#

You can use the homebrew tools to modify an existing monster that qualifies, adding the sidekick traits to the stat block

winged bramble
warm timber
#

hello, i have question. i cant find a way to homebrew non magical items. for example if i want to modify the damage die of a war pick to lets say 2d4 instead of a 1d8 how would i go about doing this?

modest pelican
#

You can't currently homebrew mundane times. The best approach is to make a custom action directly on your character sheet

warm timber
#

thanks! and otherwise i could just give the item on paper or something

Hey, I'm currently part of multiple campaigns on DnDbeyond but the ones at the top of the "my campaigns" screen happen to be the least active ones. Is there any way to re-order those? Maybe some renaming, or deactivating/reactivating trickery?

modest pelican
#

Nope, you can't re-order campaigns. I believe they're ordered by the date you create/join them

strong jewel
#

Unfortunate, but thanks for the info!

woeful mist
#

hey how do I find a game for beginners?

modest pelican
#

You would want to look in #looking-for-players and see if any of the DMs there are advertising beginner friendly games

#

I have an encounter on the encounter builder that I've already deleted but it continues to show up when I refresh the page. clicking on it shows an empty untitled encounter but in my encounter tab it shows up with the title it had before I deleted it

Check out the pinned message on that topic.

ah ok thank you

#

Hi there! I'm trying to homebrew a spell that affects max HP, but somehow i can't find the proper modifier to make it work. Perhaps it doesn't exist yet, since only monster abilities have that kind of effect? (I am trying to adapt the 3.5 spell "Energy Drain")

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, there’s not a Modifier for max HP yet.

#

Modifiers are typically for permanent effects as well, not temporary ones.

north cave
#

Just as I feared. Thank you anyway 🙂

uneven lantern

#

I'm guessing no one knows the answer to my question. Lol

thorn sandal
#

I'm assuming this is with your own Discord server? You can both use the same channels if you want, it really doesn't matter

strange wedge
#

yes my discord, but they wont count as the dm will they? they can use the encounter builder and all that?

thorn sandal
#

They can use the encounter builder, it doesn't matter what you do in the Discord. For the purposes of "counting" as the DM, the only effect it will really have is they won't have DM level access permissions on the other players character sheets in the DDB campaign

strange wedge
#

Okay I just wasn't sure how they could add my players to the encounter builder if they weren't the DM. thank you

south merlin
#

Where does attribute point or Feat increase appear when leveling up in the app?

uneven lantern
#

The app doesn't natively support leveling up yet.

#

If you're accessing it through the web browser (via the app), it's on the Class tab in the character builder.

#

Which level it appears at depends on your class.

subtle minnow

does this discord still advertise paid games?

Hey all. Does anyone know how to add homebrew items from the dndbeyond homebrew item list such that they show up for characters when trying to add it? I added the item "to my collection" and have homebrew enabled on the character pages, but for some reason it's not coming up. I can add the homebrew items I created myself but don't see other peoples creations I'm trying to add.

#

Ahh. Figured it out. It's the non-core dnd content slider.

solemn harness
#

Hello everyone 👋🏼 I require some assistance if y’all don’t mind

#

Does anyone have any experience translating a homebrew idea into a usable option on D&D Beyond?

I’ve done homebrew items before, but this time I’m trying to do a Subclass…and it’s just a tiny bit overwhelming 😅

#

The actual subclass has already been created and “written down” at this point I believe it’s just a matter of “copy and paste”…I would just like some guidance as to what to put where exactly

#

I have a play test session happening tomorrow so I do need this to be done within the end of the day preferably, thanks in advance!

edgy oriole
solemn harness
#

@edgy oriole it seems like that channel isn’t actually a thing? Lol

#

Unless I’m blind 😅😂

edgy oriole
#

Opens up the homebrew channel.

solemn harness
#

Ahh ok Sweet, thank you so much!

edgy oriole
#

Also as a heads-up. The DnDBeyond homebrew tools are literally the same thing DnDBeyond staff use to add/fix content (minus any special backend database stuff they have to do). The UI/UX is not really "consumer" friendly.

solemn harness
#

Ahh, well that explains it then. I thought I was just dumb and underprepared 😃😂

#

Maybe I am

#

But still😂

edgy oriole
#

Nah - it's a beast. It's usable but it's challenging for us folks who aren't privy to the data structure knowledge and processes that DnDBeyond staff would have.

rough needle
#

Okay. Can I get a short explanation on how Homebrew works?

solemn harness
#

Well that’s very reassuring to know lol, that just makes me want to learn it even more tbh, I don’t like feeling stumped like this

edgy oriole
solemn harness
#

Sure! Now I’m not an expert or anything near to that. But essentially when you “homebrew” something, you’re creating something custom made, and the range on that can go anywhere from something small like an item or a feature, to a game mechanic or a full new race, or even an entire world/universe all made in your image

#

It can be very fun if you’re into world building or just have that “creative itch”…but it can also be pretty daunting too😅

opal pelican
#

Making homebrew is ez pz. But making good homebrew is CR 30 😦

solemn harness
#

It’s fun nonetheless, for me at least lol

solemn harness
# opal pelican Making homebrew is ez pz. But making good homebrew is CR 30 😦

Ok yeah that’s true…you can think about it like this:
Any mad lad out there can find scraps of material and make a “table”…doesn’t mean it’s gonna level, sturdy, look nice or even serve its purpose at all!….but a master carpenter can make you something that’s been finely carved, polished and crafted properly

#

@uneven lantern

plucky linden
#

Same for Drawn to Death

solemn harness
#

I’ll definitely bring that up to the DM before the play test tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion 😊 @plucky linden

#

I suggest taking this all over to #homebrew as this channel is meant for general support for DnDBeyond applications and services

tiny comet
#

is there a way to like

#

have stuff with summon beast/summon fey yk stuff like that

#

have a statblock appear on your sheet?

#

kinda like how a wildfire druid's wildfire spirit appears on their sheet?

#

like with their health trackable at least

uneven lantern
#

You’ll have to create it as a homebrew monster and make all the necessary calculations for your character.

#

But then you can add it on the Extras tab of your sheet.

tiny comet
#

hmm ok

#

yeah I've just been using monster stat blocks but changing their health to fit my summon

Hiya, one of my players has all of the source books and doesn't have a sharing account. He's joined my campaign, but when he's going to character creation he's able to use all of his books, and not the ones the rest of the group without books is using. Is there a way to limit which books he uses in the campaign compendium?

If you want to limit him, just tell him which sources you allow

Is there a way I can take away a race that I published to edit it because now I have gotten it play tested and want to make some changes?

Published homebrew cannot be removed, but you can change the version and publish again to update it.

#

Hello, is there any way to disable the feature that automatically rolls crit damage when you roll a 20 on the attack roll before? I know you can right-click for individual rolls, but I'd like it if I can disable it from ever rolling crit damage since our table uses different rules for crit damage.

naive lodge
#

No there is not as D&D Beyond strives to implement the rules as written.

ashen folio
#

for a homebrew weapon how do I add a +1 bonus to attacks and damage?

modest pelican
#

Modifier type bonus
Subtype magic
Fixed value 1

#

If unsure, copy and existing item and see how that does it

ashen folio
#

It doesn't seem to add it to the attack action when I add the item to a PC's inventory

prisma fulcrum
#

Do they have it equipped?

ashen folio
#

yeah but it just displays the normal atk/dmg numbers

#

I can go in and manually change it (on the PC's sheet) of course but I was hoping I could set that up from the item card

#

Haha oops forgot it was attunement ignore me

neon inlet
#

how come the Grung race is only available when enabling the magic the gathering content? wasn't it reprinted with Tashas?

naive lodge
#

Grung should be under Noncore D&D Content as it was originally published in a Noncore D&D source.

crystal scarab
#

Also, no races came with Tasha's

neon inlet
#

sorry, i misspoke, i meant Circle of Spores (my Grung is gonna be a Spores Druid)

naive lodge
#

All the toggles are based on where a given thing was originally published.

neon inlet
#

ah ok, even if its reprinted?

naive lodge
#

Yes, even when reprinted.

neon inlet
#

got it, i was concerned that Circle of Spores wasn't Adventure League legal since it wasn't in the normal toggle options

naive lodge
#

You'll also find that holds true with trying to purchase items individually. We source things where they are originally published.

next gust
#

I'm trying to create a spell that uses strength as its spellcasting modifier. And I'm failing pretty hard. Which option would I use to make that happen, exactly?

#

I'd still like to know how to make the spell do it, but since it's being given by an item, I just realized I can customize the DC there too.

Hey Everyone - apologies for the issues in logging in. Currently I do not have any ETA on when this might be resolved, however once it is we will post here.

As a reminder, please DO NOT raise a support ticket for the issue, it is logged, we do not need anyone raising a ticket to report.

In the meantime, it does seem like it might be intermittent, so as some users have posted above, you may find it works after a while, etc. Apologies again.

how do I put in AC for players on an encounter I built

#

like how do I get there AC and hitpoints to show up there for players

idle peak
#

Its should show up by itself like the armors stats but it could just be a visual bug or something

tiny comet
#

how do I put it in

#

like the numbers for the AC and HP

idle peak
#

Honestly no clue i just use computer and view the whole sheet

#

the HP will change as soon as the players update their HP on their character sheet

Do you have to make the campaign to make it show up on there? like I just wanna quickly input the HP totals and AC

Guess it's a chrome problem then because I did not connect my Google account with beyond

Worked for me when I cleared both cookies and cache in Firefox, clearing only cache did not work

Yeah just deleted chache and cookies but there is still no option to directly log in to beyond

I cleared cache and cookie and reloaded by Ctrl+F5 also (not just F5), not sure if it is important

A friend just had the login issue. I told him to delete cookies and try again which seems to have worked. Using an alternate browser which hasn't been used with Beyond before should work for the same reason.

How do I get the force ballista to appear on the sheet? (like a button to I can roll attack and damage)

#

Only the flamethrower shows up

uneven lantern
#

The force ballista is intentionally hidden because it incorrectly adds your INT mod to the damage roll.

#

But you can go to the Actions tab, click on the text for Force Ballista, then open the Customize section in the sidebar.

#

Make sure "Display as Attack" gets checked, and add a negative Damage Bonus equal to your INT mod.

#

And then it should display as expected.

How to add additional cantrips gained from the strixhaven feat on my character sheet on the website?

opal pelican
#

Go to your sheet (not character creator) and go to manage feats.

#

So on your sheet click on "Features and Traits" where it'll list your feats. Then click up top where it says "Manage Feats".

lunar merlin
#

So i added the feat but can't add more cantrips

opal pelican
#

There is a drop down menu there.

#

You have to add it there and you can edit it there and only there.

#

Thanks a lot! can't belioeve i missed it

opal pelican
#

No problem. It's weird.

worn isle
#

i notice that martial arts doesnt seem to affect path of beast weapons, any reason why or how to fix this?

uneven lantern
#

The short answer why is that the barbarian subclass actions currently have no way to know that you’re also a monk.

#

But you do have a couple options.

naive lodge
#

I am not sure that your Path of the Beast weapons would count for it though.

#

They are simple melee weapons, not unarmed strikes and I'm not sure it would fall under monk weapons as such.

lime gulch
#

"[...]" monk weapons, which are shortswords and any simple melee weapons that don’t have the two-handed or heavy property."

uneven lantern
#

Anyway, if you click on the attack, you should see a “Customize” section there in the sidebar. If you open that, you can manually adjust the attack and damage bonuses to match your DEX. (You’ll have to manually change it again if your DEX changes.)

#

Alternatively, you can make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change it to use your actual DEX instead.

thanks, just wanted to be sure

Hi good morning

#

I need some help nderstanding something, I know is about the leaks, and they may be falsa but want to know or example,let's say the leak is true and the duergar in the new book would have no sunlight sensitivity

#

If I already own the DDB digital book with the duergar race, am I going to have the old duergar version or the new one or would it be two separate instances?

#

Point being, if I would have to buy the new book to have the overhaul of racial changes

lime gulch
#

If two books contain two versions, the specific page will contain the latest version. However, the books will be different. See the Bladesinger.

real path
#

We don’t know yet if MMM comes with errata for old books or not. That will ultimately determine if DDB change the old versions or not, I think

little plume
#

Does anyone know how I activate the Gift of Flame option from the Opal of the Ild Rune in DDB? I can equip it / attune to it, but can’t seem to add the extra d6 damage to my attack automatically…

opal pelican
#

Nope it won't.

#

You'll have to just roll the die when it triggers.

#

DnD Beyond doesn't have a way to do that yet. Any additional damage like hunters mark, smites, sneak attack, etc all has to be rolled separately. I think it's something they're working on.

little plume
#

ok, thx for the quick reply!

What specifically happens when you try to roll damage?

Do you get the same issue in another browser, or on another device?

Okay, but can you try the first character in a different browser?

prisma rampart

And it's only the damage rolls for that character that's the problem?

You're able to roll other things like ability checks?

Do you have another device you can try that character on?

Hi, Please help: I have a** Clockwork soul Sorcerer**, and want to swap out spells, this is not supported so far as I can find...So...I am making a homebrew feat, but I can't get the spells to display on my char sheet... homebrew is on, the feat is selected, the spells are selected...

I think that's all the troubleshooting we can do on your side, then. I'd suggest opening a support ticket. They can take a look and see if there's something up with the character itself.

opal pelican

You can't.

You can with homebrew. You’d need a Modifier with Type: Advantage, Subtype: Initiative.

#

(All it does is put a little “A” next to your initiative score.)

how do I scale encounters with 6 player characters instead of the normal 4, for example my pc's are level 5

Should a playing in one of my campaigns be able to see the options I enabled for any character they create, or just one per campaign? My wife was trying to help another player yesterday and she could only see the basic options (she already has a completed character in that campaign).

uneven lantern
#

Might depend on what you mean by "options I enabled".

hollow yacht
#

I shared resources with the players of that campaign.

uneven lantern
#

If you mean Content Sharing is enabled for that campaign, then it should work for all characters in that campaign.

#

Regardless of the number of characters per player.

#

Is there a specific option she wasn't able to find?

hollow yacht
#

Any of the ones beyond the basic character options.

uneven lantern
#

And the new character is also assigned to that campaign?

#

She won't be able to use any shared character options for characters outside the campaign.

hollow yacht
#

She thought she was in the campaign, but I was asleep when she tried it.

uneven lantern
#

If you open the campaign page, is the character there?

hollow yacht
#

No. Just the original one she created.

uneven lantern
#

Gotcha

#

There should be an invite link at the top of the page there -- the same one they used before.

#

If she hits that link, she can add her existing character to the campaign, and then it should work. 👍

hollow yacht
#

OK. But if she doesn't go in through the link, then it will default to her having an unaffiliated character with whatever options her account is entitled to?

uneven lantern
#

Correct

#

Whatever options she herself has purchased (plus everything in the free Basic Rules)

hollow yacht
#

Cool. Thanks. I just want to make sure I explain it correctly; this is our first time using D&D Beyond.

I am seeing what appears to be an error with the Save DCs on this sheet: https://ddb.ac/characters/65734766/UUPlXc
Some spells are displaying DC 19 yet others are displaying DC 20 and I am not sure what is causing the discrepancy.

#

Is it just a cache issue, or something else?

uneven lantern
#

Your Rod of the Pact Keeper gives you a +1 to save DCs for your warlock spells.

#

The 20s are all tagged as either “Warlock” or “Mystic Arcanum”, which seems to be how it determines what the warlock spells are.

#

But you do have a few other that should count as warlock spells, though…

#

Light and Sacred Flame, from your celestial warlock bonus cantrips, and Sapping Sting from your pact boon.

#

If you click on those and open the Customize section in the sidebar, you should be able to manually add the bonus.

#

Only Command, from Fey Touched, would still be a 19.

We are experiencing an issue in the character builder on my son's account. He was gifted a Legendary Bundle and has the code entered and has access to all the content, in terms of being able to look at books, search content regardless of source...

BUT when in the character builder, the version of Dragonborn that is available is the Pre-Fizban version. Races from Wild Beyond the Witchlight and Theros, for example, are NOT available.

opal pelican
#

Does he have the various options turned on? Theros for example is Magic the Gathering content.

#

It's on the first screen of character creation.

valid knoll
#

Yes. I checked a lot of things before coming here for help

#

He's actually also got a character in a campaign with a DM who is content sharing and is ALSO a Legendary Bundle owner, so should have everything in the Builder anyway, yes?

opal pelican
#

Are they making the character in that DMs campaign?

valid knoll
#

No, it is in a different campaign, but when building just for 'fun' and not in ANY campaign, the LB content isn't there

solid kestrel
#

does the race option have an arrow saying there's multiple variants

valid knoll
#

Here's the Race screen for a 'fun' build... No arrow for Dragonborn, no fairy or Harengon at all.

#

So no evidence of owning Fizban's, Theros, or Witchlight

opal pelican
#

And the bundle was bought recently right? If the bundle is bought before the books came out then they wouldn't be there.

#

Like they also don't seem to have Strixhaven.

valid knoll
#

He submitted the bundle code about a week ago and all of the content for those books shows up when he is reading via the Sources tab, rather than going to the Marketplace page for the source, like it does for something unowned.

#

By contrast, MY race selection screen, NOT owning Theros or Witchlight or Strix but being in that same campaign with the shared resources DM

opal pelican
#

Just as a heads up, not related to the issue, but when you are being shared content it only works for character creation when you make the character in the campaign.

valid knoll
#

And I have Centaurs and Custom Lineage, and the 3 variant Dragonborn and Fairy and Harengon available. (He is missing Tasha's too, apparently)

opal pelican
#

Where did they get the code from? I'm not sure it's possible to have like an old code.

valid knoll
#

And as an aside on that content sharing limit, I am not having any restriction at all building characters from shared content outside the campaign

opal pelican
#

Then you'd have to own the content.

valid knoll
#

I might own more than I think... I'll check that. BUT, He can't get to content shared by me in campaigns where I am the sharer, either...

opal pelican
#

I'm honestly not sure what else it would be.

valid knoll
#

"Account Entitlements
Your entitlements data is in sync! You should have nothing to worry about, but contact our Support Team if you're having problems accessing your purchased content."

#

So, I guess a ticket is in order

opal pelican
#

Yeah, sorry man.

valid knoll
#

Let's briefly explore the idea that the key code may have been old? A Legendary Bundle code from... a year ago, unused and submitted now would only unlock content that existed a year ago?

#

But being in the shared content campaign would still grant...compendium style access? to the newer content when NOT specifically in that campaign

opal pelican
#

I'm not sure about the old code, but that's what it looks like to me.
And yes, being in a shared campaign let's you look at all of the books still any time, but locks you out of those options in character creation when making a character outside of that campaign unless you own that content yourself.

#

Like I can look at Fizban's even though I don't own it since I'm in a shared content campaign.

#

But I can't use the new dragonborn.

valid knoll
#

OK... I went to look at the content to see what is and isn't there based on release dates, it seems to predate even Wildemount

tired solar
#

Does anyone know how to change the text "Custom Lineage" to the name of the race I want to call it? (If possible)

valid knoll
#

which was March of 2020.

#

There was a wave of codes given out at the front end of the Lockdown that would have cut that line VERY close.

tired solar
#

I was afraid of that

valid knoll
#

So, @opal pelican, it looks like the most recent content available to him 'out in the wild' (not attached to a campaign at all) is from Eberon, Rising from the Last War, because he has the Artificer reflecting that source, but no Cobalt Soul or Dunemancy, which puts this as a post 11/19, pre 3/20 content

final trellis
#

Which was the version granted by Wizards of the Coast Digital Club kit. So anything released from Theros onwards would need to be purchased using the leg bundle 15% discount (if buying entire book), or if after specific listings can purchase individually.

valid knoll
#

OK. I will chat with him about whether he wants to buy the updated race content.

#

He was excited to have a bundle, but looks like it's still got some gaps 🙂

uneven lantern
#

To completely change the name, you’d have to create it through homebrew instead.

tired solar
#

Using the Gender field is a nice hack. Smart

Looking for an assist with a campaign I'm currently running: I've limited content to PHB & Xanathar, but a PC was initially able to select an unintended race and more recently a ranger was able to select drakewarden at Lv3.

It seems the limitations are not being repspected in the appropriate dropdowns. Any thoughts/suggestions?

uneven lantern
#

When you click on Content Management, you should see this:

Blocking a source will hide compendium content to prevent players from reading it unless they own it. No options or content will be removed from other tools such as the character builder, character sheet, or encounter builder.

#

The only means for restricting character options are these toggles in the character settings:

static cradle
#

So how did the PC get access to drakewarden if they don't own Fizban (and I didn't share it)?

#

Available through some other means I take it?

uneven lantern
#

Is content sharing enabled in the campaign?

static cradle
#

It is, only for PHB & Xanathar.

uneven lantern
#

When content sharing is enabled, everyone’s game content gets shared.

#

So someone in your group must own it.

#

And again, the options under Content Management don’t block any character options. It’s designed primarily to keep players from reading ahead in any adventure book you might be playing.

static cradle
#

Thusly the only way to limit PC's to picking things from specific books is to place the expectation that they will research where a particular option is sourced?

opal pelican
#

Them or the DM knows

static cradle
#

phew! That's a lot to "know"!

#

Thanks for the feedback!

uneven lantern
#

If you head over here, there’s an option to vote for getting better control over what options are or are not allowed in your campaign. Go let them know it’s something you want!

If you used the Avrae bot in Discord, you could display an initiative list - but the problem is Avrae is not yet connected to the Encounter Builder on DDB (although I believe that is a long-term plan).

#

Yeah is there a way for me to transfer a character from on account to another ?

uneven lantern
#

Yeah. Whoever currently owns the character needs to create a campaign, assign that character to the campaign, then click to Unassign it on the campaign page.

#

Then send the campaign’s invite link to the second user, who can now join as that character, which will transfer ownership to them as well.

bitter field
#

if i get the master subscription can i share my books with my friends who dont have the subscription

uneven lantern
#

Yep. Once someone (anyone) in the campaign enables content sharing, everyone’s purchased game content gets shared with the whole group.

#

So they’ll be able to read all your books (and you, theirs) and can use any shared character options for characters within that campaign.

There are no rules for having negative ability scores, so it’s probably not supported in the homebrew system either.

It might work. You’d have to give it a try to find out. (Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up on the character sheet.)

#

It would definitely work on a magic item, because that’s surely what those modifiers were created for.

#

But not all modifiers work on other homebrew types, so I can’t say for sure whether it’ll work on a race.

Usually easiest to create those a custom action directly on the character sheet. Just go to the Actions tab and hit “Manage Custom” in the top right corner.

What class is your character?

You click the 'prepare' button, this will add the spell to your sheet

Druids are prepared casters, they don't permanently know spells and can instead prepare different ones each day

Is it possible to change which spellcasting class the "Mark of..." spells are added to?

They’re added to all of them.

Rather, they get added to all your class spell lists.

Oh wait I misread one of the abilities

And then you can learn or prepare them as you would any other spell for that class.

No idea. We mods don’t really have any insight into the development process.

But I imagine the mobile app must have laid at least some of the groundwork for it.

hello i am trying to add a homebrew race into dnd-beyond and having some struggles with getting the ability score increases to work? as in, what should i type into the fixed value or additional bonus types?

prisma fulcrum

#

Is there any way to access the Van Richten's features in DnDBeyond? I can't seem to locate features like:

  1. Dark Gifts
  2. Replace a standard race with a Lineage as mentioned in Ancestral Legacy. If you replace a race with this lineage, you can keep the following elements of that race: any skill proficiencies you gained from it and any climbing, flying, or swimming speed you gained from it.
  3. The General Background Features: Inheritor, Mist Wanderer, Spirit Medium, Trauma Survivor, Traveler

Seems like there should be a Van Richten's toggle on the Character Creation->Home like the other optional sources.

modest pelican
#

For 1. Those aren't natively supported yet. This falls under features such as supernatural gifts and epic boons

#

For 2. The ancestral legacy features can be added directly onto the character sheet

warm timber
#

hello, i don't know if this fits in #homebrew or here so i'll just ask in both,: does anyone know how one would go about using a characters level as a number within the fixed value of a custom action(in dnd-beyond ofc)?

Is it possible to get the DDB dice roller to incorporate the reliable talent feature where applicable? E.g. if my L11 rogue rolls, a natural 1 on a skill check they are proficient in, DDB shows the final result as having that 1 turned into a 10 + modifier.

For future reference, you can always make a homebrew copy of any of the official stuff (like divine soul sorcerer) if you want to look inside and see how it was set up.

# storm laurel Is this character Sheet right I haven’t played in about two years and I can’t re...

Hi there - so it appear as if you have your stat modifiers input in the bottom there where the total ability score should go. So to the app, that means your Strength score is a 3 and therefore your modifer becomes a -4. You need to edit your character and go to the ability score section to correct based off what your scores are supposed to be. IE: if strength is 16 you would enter 16 and DDB will calculate the modifer for you

storm laurel
#

oh okay thank you ill try to fix that lol

dawn violet

So I had remade a character using the point spending method rather than manually entering and it came out like this, just wondering if this is more correct or if I again did something wrong lol

#

I don’t know if the health is too high it just came out that way this time around

uneven lantern

#character-discussion is the best place to get feedback on building your own character. (But yeah, that does look a little high for level 1.)

DnD Beyond is digital material only.

emphasis on potentially as normal standard operating proceedure is that they warn people upfront before purchase that it is digital only

edgy oriole
#

The digital content is the same as the physical books - a cool thing is that it gets updated as WoTC makes corrections to their materials.

So digital stays up to date.

You can't currently modify the ki save as it's not something the system could do at time of release, so I don't even think the item on the system supports it

Coming back to my issue from last week, is there some place I can consult for all the specific names that WotC considers brand identity so I'll know not to step on toes?

naive lodge
#

I believe that some are defined as available in the SRD, but some are also defined in the OGL. I think if you publish through DM's Guild they license more to you. However, we're not Wizards of the Coast we're D&D Beyond, so beyond directing you to their documents there's not much we can help with.

You should probably consult a legal representative if you're looking to publish things for profit and avoid a lawsuit. Saying you asked a DnD Beyond discord mod probably isn't the best option.

#

For published homebrew on DnD Beyond?

#

That can be even non-dnd related things. Like if I made a subclass called Pokemon Master it would be removed.

uneven lantern
#

Hard to give specific advice here without knowing what was removed, but yeah, it goes a lot farther than just WOTC content.

#

The best general advice is that outside of what’s in the SRD, it’s safest not to reference anything you yourself didn’t create.

lime gulch
#

But there are exceptions that should be made. For example, Bahamut and Firbolg existed before D&D.

violet vortex
#

That's why going to WOTC with your concerns is better than going to a D&D Beyond moderator.

#

Best people to go to for advice on the matter are the people who made the rules re: independent or freelance publishing.

#

I would also suggest checking out the Storytelling Collective/RPG Writers' Workshop. They have a biannually course on publishing adventures and they discuss the SRD and what can and cannot be published as your own.

We don't know yet.

uneven lantern
#

At the top of the Class Feature, you'll also see a field called "Class Levels Where Options Known". This is what controls when they get to make their choices.

#

A battle master's manuevers, for example, has 3,3,3,7,7,10,10,15,15 in here. This means they get three choices at level 3, then two more each at levels 7, 10, and 15.

In the Homebrew Subclass creator, how do I add a class feature that allows the player to choose from a list of skills to gain proficiency in one or two?
Also is there a way to create a feature where the player can choose to gain expertise in a skill from that same list of skills?

uneven lantern
#

You'd want to use the Options section and set up each available choice as its own Option with the appropriate modifier inside.

#

You'll also need to set the "Class Levels Where Options Known" field described above. ☝️

The only pictures I'm having problems with are in my posts on the forums. So, if I go to the forum and make a post where I want to include a map or other image, it just shows up as a broken image link.

#

My character avatars and stuff work fine

little plume
#

Do other pictures on other threads load?

gritty sleet
#

Yep.

little plume
#

Have you posted images to the forums before?
Forgive me, I'm grasping at straws here. If it's not the Ratings field of the site cookie that many think is related to forum and homebrew upvote system, then I'm not sure what you're running into. I posted a couple of comments yesterday afternoon filled with several images I had put up on Imgur and didn't have an issue.

gritty sleet
#

No. I've only tried to do it recently with a PbP campaign and can't get anything to work. It could easily be user error.

And that's good to know. I actually tried Imgur recently and it didn't work.

little plume
#

I found you have to get the right sharelink

#

I get this one:

#

Then in the ddb forum RTF editor:

gritty sleet
#

Excellent. I'll give that a try.

little plume
#

But you have to remove the [img] and [/img] from that link you copied

gritty sleet
#

Excellent. I'm going to try it now and see what happens.

little plume
#

That may not be the correct method or even the most efficient. But it's the method that I use and I post a decent amount on the forums

final trellis
#

I will add that how mairondil explained how they do it, is exactly what I do to generate a URL that works

#

the image URL needs to end in the filetype so like .jpg or .png

little plume
#

Oh nice, validation

gritty sleet
#

@little plume that was all I needed. Just worked perfectly. And that's also good to know. Thanks to you both! I'd give you a high five but, you know....intarwebz. 🤘

Also good call out on the filetype, Sorce. I wouldn't have known that.

candid wren
#

Question for homebrew subclasses. I've got a subclass set up (and approved, but I need to make a couple edits on technical bugs), but I'm wondering how to make the subclass give a conditional half-expertise, if that's possible?

final trellis
#

Happy to help (even though I barely did much) - the URL without the filetype will go to a web page, where as the one with the filetype is jsut the URL to the direct image (which is what most insert image URL forms requiore)

little plume
candid wren
#

No, in my eyes it's an additional +1 to the ability score

#

So instead of a +2 it's a +3

#

Basically the skill gives proficiency in insight, or an additional +1 to the score if you're already proficient

little plume
#

Oooh. Hmmm

candid wren
#

It's a tricky one for sure

peak igloo
#

So like jack of all traits from bard ontop of it?

candid wren
#

But just to the one trait

little plume
#

I think you're going to need to use Options for that one

candid wren
#

I'm looking at this screen at the present

#

(The subclass is titled Domain of Truth)

little plume
#

I think you want bonus, not proficiency

candid wren
#

The thing is it only grants the "bonus" if you already have proficiency in it

little plume
#

But I don't remember if you can bonus a skill

little plume
candid wren
#

Is there any other ways you may go about it, or should I just it so the prerequisite to the subclass is Insight, and have it be a base +1?

little plume
#

Basically they choose from these options and I'm the DM so I know your limitations but you have to make every skill an option.

candid wren
#

In that case, how do I set a prerequisite to the subclass, if THAT'S possible? 🤣

little plume
#

Or your select list of skills

little plume
candid wren
#

So would that work?

#

no, needs some modification on the fixed value

little plume
#

I think the best way would be to make an option giving a bonus to each skill. In the text of the feature say "Only pick the skills you are proficient in. You're DM may check your sheet to make sure you have only selected skills you are currently proficient in. You may have more choices listed below than you have skills you are proficient in, leave those blank."

Then the option adds the bonus like in your last screenshot.

#

Do that for each skill, give them as many options at 1st level of subclass. This lets anyone using this subclass choose as many options as they have. If they have 3 skills they are proficient in, they choose those 3. If they have 12, they choose those 12. Each one gives the bonus you're talking about. The rest operates on the honor system which is between the DM and the player.

candid wren
#

It's specifically based off of Insight, as your objective is to be a Truthseeker

little plume
#

So it's one specific skill?

candid wren
#

its specifically Insight

#

But I screwed up with that one on that specific skill and didn't set it to be the right bonus/choices

little plume
#

Ok, that's a lot less complex but still no easy way to implement because there's no If this then that

candid wren
#

yeah, I figured. Just annoying

#

So this will set it to be a +1 to Insight, correct?

little plume
#

So you'll still want to make it an option. But it's only 1 option. In your text you say "Only choose this if you already have proficiency in Insight".

What you have there should add 1 to Insight.

candid wren
#

alright, crossing fingers and seeing if it works

#

And ofc it doesn't, yay

#

alright, I could use some help still... What's the proper settings that'll make it just add a +1

#

because that didn't do it

little plume
#

Let me go look. I know I've got items that do it

#

So I know this works for a magic item:

candid wren
#

And it gives a flat +10 to stealth?

little plume
#

I don't believe I have a subclass that does what you want, so let me whip something up

candid wren
#

Whacky that it didn’t work then…

little plume
little plume
candid wren
#

True, subclasses may be whacky

little plume
#

I've found several things that a subclass can't do, but an item can. So I add notes to the subclass to add a specific item to their inventory and equip it.

candid wren
#

Icic… and no way to manually modify the AS?

#

(And not have it give a +1 to all WIS that is)

little plume
#

Let me make something real fast and see if it works. It might be how you have things set up.

Maybe have to wait the 20 minutes for your changes to take effect

candid wren
#

Oh that exists? Potentially….

#

But the tooltip changed when I applied it to my character

little plume
#

I don't quite follow you

candid wren
#

I applied the subclass to my character and the description of the effects applied to my character, but my insight bonus didn’t go up

little plume
#

My example is just a copy of the barbarian path of the ancestral guardian. I went into the first class feature, Ancestral Protectors, and added an Option called Yes. The text of this option is "sdf". When I select this option, my Insight goes up by 1. My options are set up like in the screenshot above. So what you want to do is possible to do if you build it right.

candid wren
#

Weird. I’ll review it all and see if it fixes it

little plume
#

Just remember any change and save the entire subclass, then go watch something on youtube for 20 minutes

candid wren
#

Alright - will do!

#

So should that do it? 🤔

little plume
candid wren
#

although there are no options, it's just a flat +1 to Insight

little plume
candid wren
#

ic, so that should add the bonus

little plume
#

You'll need to delete the modifier from the feature and add the modifier to your option. That way it only applies if the person selects the option.

candid wren
#

oh.... So it's this page?

little plume
#

Once you save that, you can then add aa modifier to it.

candid wren
#

Sorry, hellishly lost here - I've never used dndb for homebrew

#

So it would look like this?

little plume
candid wren
#

How would I write it into the option?

little plume
#

Edit the option. Scroll down. Below the Save Changes button is some things that weren't there the first time.

candid wren
#

ahhhh, that

little plume
#

Like I said, it's sometimes not very intuitive.

candid wren
#

Wait so if I use that

#

By theory, can I make it so that there's two options

little plume
#

Yep

candid wren
#

One of them "No insight"

#

and one of them "Insight"

little plume
#

It is a drop down menu. You can have 50 choices if you want

candid wren
#

First one giving proficiency in Insight, second a +1 bonus?

#

(AKA if they already have proficiency in Insight choosing option 1 will do nothing?)

#

Anything else needed? Or just option name, a description, check the "Is Granted", set the required class level, and set the modifier?

little plume
#

Yeah. That actually makes some sense too. Have a "Already have Insight" and "Give me Insight". That way one is a +1 the other adds proficiency.

candid wren
#

That was my initial goal with it 🤣

little plume
#

I wouldn't mess with required class level unless you're giving new options at higher levels.

candid wren
#

alright, so just ignore that part then - Got it

#

And I assume for Proficiency, you only need to have the modifier type and subtype?

#

Alright, time to wait 20 minutes and hope it works 😄

little plume
#

Yep. No # necessary for just proficiency

candid wren
#

I'll lyk if that's got it right, but I seriously hope so...

#

Is there a way to link the spells to the subclass so they automatically get added, like they're supposed to, or will that make it incapable of being published?

little plume
candid wren
#

SRD being PHB, or?

#

this is my spell list

little plume
#

I forget what the acronym stands for but. It's all the free stuff: Basic Rules, Elemental Evil something or other. PHB is not part of it, though there's plenty from the basic rules also in the PHB

candid wren
#

Got it. Need a better 4th level spell, Aura of Purity isn't SRD

little plume
#

You don't have to publish your homebrew. If you share a campaign with those who use, they can get it because you share a campaign. Content sharing does not have to be enabled for homebrew content to be shared this way.

candid wren
#

ah, makes sense. I do still want to be able to though 🤣

#

I assume linking the spells is wrapping the spell in [spell] x [/spell], as it is with skills?

#

yeah, I got it, and I cleaned it up perfectly

#

They're all SRD, they're all properly listed and linked

candid wren
#

That's impressive... Yeah, I'll use those for some digging 🤣

#

Thanks a load for all your help... Now it's time to wait and see if it works

You said it did. Good luck
