Yeah it just means it's something they would like to get to - it does not mean that it will be worked on this month.

[brave elbow]

like i said, nothing i can do about it so theres no real need to get into semantics

[modest pelican]

Roadmaps detail things that might happen as well as things that are happening

[modest pelican]

You asked, we're just trying to provide clarification in case it helps with future queries you might have

[brave elbow]

i know, but I thought it was clear that I just wanted to drop it since i got an answer already, the message im replying to was just to express why I was confused

Hi not entirely sure if this is the right channel for this but I was making a homebrew race and subrace and finished it last night. But when I went to look at them today the subrace was attached to an older version of the main one, and also was missing all of its racial traits when I clicked on the details page or created another version to edit it. But the racial traits are still there if I just look at it in my homebrew creations without clicking anything.
Anyone know whats happening here??

[sonic hill]

Anyone else is having trouble using DDB today to create a character?

Been trying all day and all I get is "Whoops! We rolled a 1 on our API check. We're heading into town to visit the blacksmith for repairs.

Try again after a Short Rest."
Error Code
80f1b231ef854cee9f36bae7e1c8281d
Version
5.23.0

[naive lodge]

Are you running any extensions or any VPN or security software?

[sonic hill]

No

[naive lodge]

Can you try it in another browser or on another device?

[sonic hill]

I have, same results

[naive lodge]

Can you try on a different connection as I'm not seeing any issues on my end.

[sonic hill]

Thank you anyway 😕

[full loom]

Anyone have any sort of answer or suggestion for this?

[tawdry thorn]

I've been having this error code the entire day, just like @sonic hill. Also not running a VPN and tried different browsers and systems to no avail.

[naive lodge]

I don't utilize the homebrew tools myself, #homebrew is your best bet.

[naive lodge]

I can tell you then that I just threw this character together since you posted that: https://ddb.ac/characters/67059472/QRA78E

We can really only offer troubleshooting if we can't replicate something. If you have no extensions, no VPN, and no security software, and it continues on different browsers, devices, and connections we can only guess it's regional, so what region are you from if you're running into this?

[tawdry thorn]

I live in the Netherlands

[open radish]

ive been having this same issue since yesterday. Different error codes every time

ive been trying random things to no fix. I live in New York

[sonic hill]

Brasília, Brazil

[naive lodge]

The Error Code is unique and can be used by the devs to look at logs. If I had text versions I could copy and paste I could send it their way and see.

[open radish]

this is the one I just got most recently trying a new browser

Character Creation troubles

[red tendon]

Hi, I'm having trouble creating a wizard with Chronurgy Magic. I don't see the option when creating a 4th level Wizard. I own Mythic. I'm looking at schools and don't see it. Created a new character to test. Does anyone have any idea?

[final trellis]

Chronurgy is from Wildemout, not Theros. If you own the subclass or Wildemount (or have access via content sharing), you need to enable Critical Role content.

[cedar oriole]

https://i.imgur.com/STSiEg3.png

My friend is rolling a 4 every time. He's rolled many more times. its always 4

[final trellis]

Try having them clear browser cache & cookies - check if browser extensions are installed that might be interacting and perhaps impacting with the page.

[grand idol]

Hmm. I'm having problems sharing content with a player. They want to use Eberron and my campaign is sharing it...

Any thoughts why this wouldn't be avail to them?

Nevermind! They left and rejoined and it worked!

[teal hawk]

Is there a way for me to give my players custom status effects?

I want to implement a drunken effect with 10 levels.

[modest pelican]

No, D&D Beyond only supports the official conditions found in the rules

[somber reef]

For the Armorer Artificer, their Arcane Armor counts as an arcane focus, right? "You can use the arcane armor as a spellcasting focus for your artificer spells."
But, the infusion Enhanced Arcane Focus does not allow armor enchantment. Is there a way to fix this, or is there a feature that I have overlooked?
I worked around this by homebrewing armor with that benefit, but would like to see a non-homebrew solution.

[modest pelican]

@somber reef that's a question for #dnd-rules

[somber reef]

Ah, thanks.

[desert dirge]

How do I set another player as a DM for my campaign?

[modest pelican]

You can't, they'll need to make their own campaign (which will make them DM) and then all the characters will need to be moved over

[desert dirge]

Characters can only be in one campaign at a time, right?

[modest pelican]

Yep

[desert dirge]

Damn, shame. We do play with a rotating DM system, swapping each session. Sounds like a bit of a hassle.

Is transferring campaigns something on the to-do-list, or is that a feature that is very low priority for most people?

[modest pelican]

I'm not sure if it's on any roadmap or longterm goal

[desert dirge]

I see, thanks. Would be nice to be able to give other players DM permissions, though.

[modest pelican]

Due to how being a DM interacts with various permissions such as content sharing and character sheet access, I could see that being a fairly complex thing to implement

It's not just a little flag that says "I'm the DM"

[desert dirge]

Yeah, I can see that. Mostly giving and taking character sheet access and encounter-rolling are what we would need.

[modest pelican]

DMs can't take character sheet access (nor give it)

The player is the only one that can mark a sheet as unassigned

And another player must claim that sheet

[desert dirge]

No worries, we can make due. Not a critical feature, just a bit clunky to keep everything in sync if we have to swap campaings entirely, especially as we use avrea with it.

[modest pelican]

@nocturne harbor This isn't the channel for questions about how good or bad things are (you want #dnd-discussion or #character-discussion)
This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond website and tools

[sharp root]

Hello, I have run into a wall. I am playing an artificer who has taken the armorer subclass. I picked up some scale mail to use with the new lack of a strength requirement, as my str is 12. However, it still shows as me having disadvantage on stealth checks, and I can't find anyway to attach the mail to the arcane armor to make it work properly. Can anyone help me with this?

[loud drift]

the stealth disadvantage isn't tied to the strength requirement (which the scale mail doesn't have anyways) but due to the noisiness of the armor

have you marked it as Infiltrator?

[uneven lantern]

Yep. Wearing armor with insufficient strength reduces your speed. It doesn’t effect your stealth checks.

If the Armor table shows "Str 13" or "Str 15" in the Strength column for an armor type, the armor reduces the wearer's speed by 10 feet unless the wearer has a Strength score equal to or higher than the listed score.

Ahh I see, thank you

[torn wraith]

@desert dirge If you're only using free content on DDB, perhaps you could make a shared DM account?

[desert dirge]

Needs a paid DM account to roll on the monster's sheets in the encounter tool, sadly.

Sharing accounts is against our terms of service.

[torn wraith]

Ah, I see!

[wicked obsidian]

Where are the February Perks?

[crystal scarab]

Perks don't release at the beginning of each month, nor are there predetermined times I believe

[real ruin]

Hi. Has the dndbeyond app seen updates for anyone from the recent errata changes? I can see the changes on the web but the app is still displaying the old content with alignment etc? Not showing any updates to the books on the app... 🤔

[modest pelican]

Errata haven't rolled out yet to the app

@wicked obsidian February perks haven't been released yet

[real ruin]

Thanks. Wasnt sure if it was me.

[wicked obsidian]

oh ok, when will they? and how come december and january perks are the same?

[naive lodge]

There was a bit on that in the Dev Update last week I believe. Basically, not everyone can afford to sub around the holidays and the team takes time off around the holidays too, so it was decided to extend it to two months to give everyone some time off and all the users time to get them. As for a date when perk will be released, I don't think there has been one announced yet.

[median axle]

Hello, I am trying to setup my streaming service and noticed I cannot link my twitch and dndbeyond account. apparently i have made another account and connected it to twitch. Is there a way for me to delete or unlink twitch so I can link to my master tier account???

[uneven lantern]

A linked Twitch account is used only for sign-in. It won’t effect your ability to stream in any way.

But to switch, you’d need to sign-in through that Twitch account, link it to Apple or Google (so you don’t lose access to the account), and then unlink Twitch.

Then you can sign back into the other account and link it to that.

[median axle]

i dont care about the account. I have a master tier account via google. And id like to stick with just the one account for all my links. didnt know i had two accounts.

so id like to delete my account with the twitch link and add twitch to my master tier account

[uneven lantern]

You’d have to contact customer support if you want it deleted entirely.

[median axle]

thank you for your help

[uneven lantern]

Otherwise you’ll need to link another account before you can unlink that one.

[unreal fog]

I'm having trouble with creating a custom spell, I want to add dice when used at a higher spell slot, but its not showing through dndbeyond

[little plume]

Turn on AT HIGHER LEVEL SCALING and choose HIGHER LEVEL SCALING TYPE

[little plume]

Then set up the AT HIGHER LEVEL section

For additional details on AT HIGHER LEVELS check the forum thread I update about it https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/124877-spells-at-higher-levels-explained

[little plume]

Now if you're wanting to add different dice at higher levels, like something is 3d6 but upcast is an extra 2d4. The AT HIGHER LEVELS function will not add different dice. Like adding different dice to magic weapons (or extra cantrip damage), you cannot make something that rolls additional different dice.

Automatically at least. You can make a custom action to incorporate something similar, albeit not automatic. I got an older, less fleshed out, tutorial on that too if you want.

[unreal fog]

it somehow didn't work, but I can manually roll it, thanks anyway

[uneven lantern]

Homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up on the sheet.

If you set it up correctly, you might just need to wait a sec.

[unreal fog]

ok, ive been pretty much refreshing immediately after

ill wait

[toxic trail]

i have tried to buy the players handbook from dnd beyond and it says ''error with completing transaction'' i have tried with and without paypal and i do know that i have enough money, please help!

[uneven lantern]

Does it give you an error code?

[toxic trail]

nope

this is the error

[uneven lantern]

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

[toxic trail]

i have tried on my phone using safari and even the app it still doesnt work

but i havent tried chrome yet

[final trellis]

The app would go through Apple/Google, not the website, so the app would be a totally different error/message/display

You aren't trying to purchase through any in-app browser at all?

[toxic trail]

what do you mean?

i have tried on chrome on pc doesnt work at all

[toxic trail]

please i need someone to help me

[unborn void]

anyone else having trouble where dndb takes 2-3 tried to load properly? been going on for nearly 2 weeks. completely random how it displays. only index text, no pics...this one is new....

[naive lodge]

As Sorce stated, using the app would go through a different payment processor, so if it's not working both on the website and through what I presume is Apple on the phone when you use the app, that would indicate that it's a problem on your bank or card issuer's end.

[naive lodge]

Are you running any extensions at all?

[slim minnow]

Is there a way to delete any homebrew you've made that you've already shared with the community

[lime gulch]

No.

[slim minnow]

oh ok then

[uneven lantern]

You can publish an update if you need to change something though.

[robust veldt]

Hello, i'm not sure where to post this but I'm a new DM to DND (being an experienced one from Pathfinder) and I wanted to create a Strixhaven campaign on Foundry but I don't know which price to choose on DND Beyond for the minimum (module, maps and base images) ? (Does the compendium only for 20 dollars works well or do I have to take the full book with everything that will probably put me on the streets) ?

[modest pelican]

@robust veldt The compendium will give you the 'ebook' like version of the book that includes all the lore, rules and maps. It will not give you any of the listings (the individual elements such as stat blocks and spells that can be used in the tools or viewed independently from the book)

[robust veldt]

ok

[plush glen]

The two skill proficiencies I selected with Custom Background are not showing up on my character sheet. Any ideas?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the sheet?

[plush glen]

[modest pelican]

I'm seeing them on your sheet

[plush glen]

Huh. I am not seeing that second screen cap.

I'll give it 15 minutes or so.

[modest pelican]

Are you running any extensions that might be modifying D&D Beyond?

[plush glen]

sigh Beyond20. Fixed now. Sorry, I should have checked that myself. Thanks for your time!

[modest pelican]

This is why we advise against using unsupported extensions
Glad it's all fixed!

[low gale]

In Encounters, is there a way to mark statblocks from non-players as friendly, so they affect the difficulty rating in a way that reduces difficulty? e.g. an NPC with a statblock helping out the party

[modest pelican]

There are no official rules for stat blocks being considered friendly and thus factoring into encounter difficulty calculation. As such, the encounter builder has no such flag for 'friendly' monsters

[low gale]

ok, thanks for the swift response

[worn isle]

i have noticed that hunters mark with the mark of finding orc has a note of "Extended duration (see description)". is it trying to say that the spells duration is higher? because i cant seem to find anything different in the description?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the character sheet?

[worn isle]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Brother_Magma/characters/59080999 hope this works?

[modest pelican]

It's referring to upcasting it

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd or 4th level, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 8 hours. When you use a spell slot of 5th level or higher, you can maintain your concentration on the spell for up to 24 hours.

[merry prism]

It's not anything to do with being a Mark of Finding Half-Orc, that is, as Davyd says, a standard note for the Hunter's Mark spell.
It designates that when the spell is upcast, using a higher level spell slot, it has an extended duration.
It may seem odd in this case though, as the character cannot upcast it, as it's just a "once per day" feature granted by the race.

[worn isle]

alright, thanks for the clarification.

[merry prism]

🙂

[mortal bear]

Heya everyone I hope you're all doing well! I had a small question about changing the properties of a magic item. My specific one is that Im wanting to create a magic item based on the exandria pepperbox but I want to change change the reload property from 4 to 6. Is there any way to do this? Im sorry if Im not seeing it in the magic item creator!

[modest pelican]

You can't modify the reload property of gunslinger weapons I'm afraid

[mortal bear]

Ah I see thankyou for replying so fast! would it be possible to make one from scratch possibly? As in make make a new type of gun with my own reload property

[modest pelican]

It's not possible to homebrew mundane items

[mortal bear]

Ok, Ill figure something else out. Thankyou so much!

[uneven lantern]

You could try to do it with custom items and custom actions directly on your character sheet.

Or just add a note to the official one once it's in your inventory.

[mortal bear]

both of those are very good ideas! Ill have to try that thankyou

[fiery plank]

Hi, I'm working on a home brew race and I'm struggling with the tutorials online. Could anyone sit in a voice call with me and answer my questions?

[uneven lantern]

Can’t VC, but there’s an article here that might help:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/190-design-workshop-races

[timid topaz]

Has the company positions been added to the character builder from Acqu. Inc. I have been looking it up and only found posts from 2 years ago saying that its coming soon™️

[uneven lantern]

But the best general advice is to make a homebrew copy of an official race that works similarly. Then you can look inside to see how it was set up, and adjust/copy/reference it as needed.

[fiery plank]

Ok, thank you. I'll have a look.

[fiery plank]

That's how I started but I can't really find any race with similar traits and actions to the ones I want to give to my homebrew.

[fringe eagle]

Good Afternoon, I am having a minor issue on DDB and i'm not sure if it's a bug or I am just not looking in the right place. When I look at my list of campaigns I see one several that I cannot choose to leave but I am not currently a player or a DM for these games and I would like to remove them from my list. Is it because I am content sharing for them?

[uneven lantern]

Support them how? What would that let you do, ideally?

[rancid shore]

I submitted a ticket but has anyone else recently reported issues with half-feats not properly granting stats through Custom Lineage?

Feats that can grant mental stats do not, aside from Chef, even if the stat chosen is not a mental stat, e.g. Resilient (STR).

Chef lets you apply the stat to CON or WIS correctly, so could be an issue with one of the other mental stats.

I'm mainly asking if this is a known issue or if it's just my character

[uneven lantern]

Works for me. Created a custom lineage character with Resilient (Strength), and it bumped their score from 8 to 9.

Can you share a link to your character?

[rancid shore]

Yeah

It’s set to Fey Touched Wis rn bc that was the original intent of the build

Wait lmao

It works

Chef was legit the only mental-increasing feat that worked for me, but now it’s fixed

Thanks for the help anyways

Idk if it'll let me rescind a ticket

[stiff olive]

If I get a yearly sub on hero tier, can I upgrade to master and pay the difference or do I pay for a whole new sub

[ebon minnow]

Im creating a homebrew fighter subclass that can cast a few thematic spells. Some require saving throws and i want the spell save DC to be based on Strength OR dexterity, whichever is higher. I know you can set the DC on action options like with battlemaster manuvers with the snippet code, but is there any such method for spells? or do i have to make two different versions of the spell, one using strength and one using dex

[nocturne oxide]

Might be a stupid Question, but when are the monthly Subscriptions updated? It still says January <@&516370028053004306>

[modest pelican]

[umbral stratus]

Hello!
Can I somehow get a print-friendly view of a source-book? I would like to have a few pages of an adventure on paper, but my tries to print from the website turned out super bad.

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond doesn't offer printer friendly versions at this time

Your best bet would be to adjust your printer settings

[edgy oriole]

DnDBeyond provides digital tools and is not really designed for traditional print media use. You might have better luck printing the screen to PDF (Chrome browser is decent at this) and then printing the PDF on your printer. Just be aware that everything on the site is not really optimized for print and you may need to do some manual cleanup inside the PDF prior to printing to get the results you want. Also do not share the PDF with others as that would be unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material (I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, consult a legal pro if you have questions).

[real path]

printing to PDF, maybe with different browsers/plugins is my suggestion as well. see what will look the best

[umbral stratus]

okay, thank you all!

[sharp coral]

Hello,
ive just ordered the Blood Hunter monster and i want to make it as my class, does someone know how to do it and can help me?

[modest pelican]

The Blood Hunter monster is completely different from the Blood Hunter class (which is freely available and does not require a purcahse)
To make a character a Blood Hunter, you'll need to enable Critical Role content in the character builder

[sharp coral]

Thank you!

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

When you add the spell to the subclass, you should see an option for Ability Score. Just select STR there and it should override whatever the spell normally uses.

Just note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up on the character sheet. If you don’t see the change right away, just give it a sec.

[patent canyon]

hey i need help with homebrew content to anyone experienced with making homebrew things can you please PM me?

[ebon minnow]

and then if the guy playing it chooses dex over strength, how will it change to the higher one like battle master?

[uneven lantern]

Battle Master doesn’t cast any spells, but you can make a homebrew copy of it and look inside if you want to know how that was set up.

[ebon minnow]

I know that. I already did so. What i’m asking is if there’s a way to do that for spells where it uses the higher modifier of two separate abilities

[uneven lantern]

Generally speaking, though, the homebrew system was built to facilitate the official rules. If there’s not an official subclass that handles spells in that way, it may not be possible.

[ebon minnow]

or if i have to add the same spell twice, one using dex and one using strength, and let the player decide

[uneven lantern]

You might be able to use the Options system to give them an explicit choice between STR and DEX.

Inside each Option, you’d add the spell using that modifier.

But there probably isn’t a way to have it automatically use the higher one.

[ebon minnow]

Any idea how that would work? I dont know if dndbeyond has anything for something like “if” statements for those kinds options

I see

alright, thanks for the help

i might just end up making it con based to simplify it to one ability score

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, there’s no if statement. Options represent a manual choice by the player.

[ebon minnow]

If i make an option where the player selects a main stat to represent themselves, how would i change adding spells to react to that player choice?

whats my bargain bin if statement

Ooooooh wait

[uneven lantern]

Anything that depends on that Option needs to be put inside the Option itself.

So you’d need to add the same spell to each of them and set the ability score accordingly.

[ebon minnow]

This is how i have the abilities organized within the subclass

The "powers" category is where im adding these spells

[uneven lantern]

And where are you adding the Options?

[ebon minnow]

Ive set it up this way

and those grant spells

I.e flash strike grants steel wind strike

Halting blade grants blade barrier

And then this is where i got stuck on how i make the DC's follow that str or dex pattern

[uneven lantern]

This might not be possible, then, if you’ve got two sets of Options. There’s no way for them to “speak” to each other.

Unless you combine both choices into a single option.

Which would give you eight options in total.

“Quickened Blade (STR)”, “Quickened Blade (DEX)”, Heightened Defense (STR)”, etc.

[ebon minnow]

oooh i see

That could work, yeah

Make it the players choice

for each individual ability they pick

This is a more your opinion kinda thing, but do you think it would be interesting to make the casting stat for dcs Constitution, and then add a prerequisite of STR or DEX based on the ability?

Flash strike grants the ability to cast steel wind strike

or a more apt comparison is blade barrier

cause it requires a dex save

it could use con for the DC, but then incur something like a "Must have 16 strength score or higher" kinda thing

Or do you think giving the player the option makes more sense

[uneven lantern]

The folks in #homebrew can probably offer better insight there.

[ebon minnow]

Alright, ill take this there then

thank you for the help

[uneven lantern]

The thing with DnDBeyond is that it only supports the official rules - so unless there is an official D&D class that substitutes charisma for strength/dex in attack rolls, it's likely not possible to do in DnDBeyond.

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, Hexblade does do that, but it’s a special case.

It relies on the player marking a weapon in their inventory as a Hex Weapon, and that’s hard-coded into the character sheet.

There’s not a way to trigger that from user-made homebrew, I’m afraid.

In your case, the player will probably have to customize their weapon to match their charisma mod instead.

[edgy oriole]

Maybe the general features updates will improve the flexibility here...

[half oak]

Gotcha. I'll just have to do that, then. I'm just doing it for my character in the 3rd party module we're running right now, so it should work

Thanks for the help!

[shy juniper]

Is it possible to have a homebrew spell that does multiple types of damage?

[lime gulch]

See Chaos Bolt.

[normal geyser]

Hi all, I recently purchased the Path of Wild Magic subclass separately so I could create a Wild Magic Sorcerer. It isn't giving me the option to select it as a sorcerous origin during character creation. Have I misunderstood how to use it?

[edgy oriole]

Isn’t path of wild magic a barbarian subclass?

That’s different than a wild magic sorcerer

[modest pelican]

@normal geyser Path of Wild Magic is a Barbarian subclass (found in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything). For Sorcerer you want the Wild Magic subclass from the Player's Handbook, which can be found here https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook#:~:text=Owned-,Wild Magic,-%241.99

[lime gulch]

Yes. There's a Path of Wild Magic and a Wild Magic sorcerous origins. They are different.

[normal geyser]

I knew I'd messed up somehow. Thanks!

[lime gulch]

I'm guessing you can file a customer support request and get a refund or replacement.

[normal geyser]

its Ok, it was only like £1.50 so not too bad

[edgy oriole]

But now you can create a raging barbarian with wild magic effects!

[lime gulch]

If you bought a class and not a book, I'm assuming cash is strapped and I totally understand that. 😔

[ebon minnow]

Is Dndbeyond slow right now for everyone, or is it just me?

Pages are taking minutes or more to load

[lime gulch]

Yeah. Seems quite sluggish.

[ebon minnow]

Is there a way to add a prerequisite to a dndbeyond class feature? Not just the options

[uneven lantern]

Generally speaking, the homebrew tools are built to facilitate the official rules. If there’s no official subclass that does that (there isn’t), then it’s probably not possible.

[balmy dirge]

Is it possible to disconnect my account from Google? And use a standard user/pass?
Dndbeyond is literally the website left I use my Google account for.

[final trellis]

There is not - you can associate either a Twitch or an Apple ID and use those to login to DDB instead of Google? We don't have any direct login though.

Boo

[shy juniper]

Trying to homebrew a feat that lets you pick (also homebrewed) spells, but when the spells get added by the feat the "cast" button is replaced with unclickable "At Will" text

[final trellis]

Feats dont have the right options to setup the spell correctly (from the homebrew tools)

[shy juniper]

Is there a way to use feats to add additional spell slots, then, so that players who take it can simply be restricted by text and honor?

[final trellis]

No - when adding a spell to a feat, you are able to set it for a set number of uses or you can add it as an at will. There is no tie in via the homebrew creation to have a spell leverage spell slots.

If you add the spell via a race or subclass, then you can set to consume spell slots - https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76031-demystifying-homebrew-updated-with-feats?comment=5

Is there a way to add extra spells known and increase the amount available to prepare?

[lilac breach]

First time dm running an online session wondering what to do if your player make an encounter you don't have a map for

[final trellis]

Yes, as I said, add it via a race or subclass

[edgy oriole]

this is better asked in #dm-discussion - this channel is for support of DnDBeyond services and apps

[shy juniper]

Not feasible, not about to force everyone to take a specific race/subclass.

Thanks for the help, though, saved us a few hours of bashing heads against walls

[uneven lantern]

There’s some articles here that might help.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/tag/theater-of-the-mind

[rose hawk]

There seems to be a bug that occurs when you add custom items to a character where the pdf version of the character sheet will triple the custom items in your equipment

I love the custom item tool and think it's great for adding quick homebrew items to player equipment, so I hope this can get fixed

I apologize for the poor wording, I don't really know how to better explain this lol

This time it only doubled instead of tripled but hopefully you get the idea

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link to the affected character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Those values can't have been doubled or tripled. If they were, that would mean the real quantity is a fractional value, which isn't possible.

[modest pelican]

They mean it's been added to their inventory multiple times

[slim wedge]

Is there anywhere a complete list of formatting commands? Things like: {{ classlevel}} and [roll][/rolll]?

[modest pelican]

Those are two different things; snippets and roll formulas

Hi y'all first post on the Beyond Discord, I submitted a ticket but wanted to see if this is more of a website wide for everyone issue, added some homebrew stuff to my collection and it wasn't showing up on beyond in my browser, so I logged out and on log in I keep getting Internal Server Error 500

[naive lodge]

Make sure you have cookies and third-party cookies (for the service you are using) enabled. That's the first step.

[trim blade]

I am trying to log in to my dnd account and it wont let me, I've tried sending messages to my phone and to my email and the messages aren't going through, and now I'm trying through discord but it's not working either.

[naive lodge]

The three login formats are Google, Twitch, and Apple.

[trim blade]

Yeah I dont have any apple or twitch connected

So google, but google isn't working

[naive lodge]

Are you encountering any given error, and see above about cookies.

[trim blade]

no

[wheat marsh]

I have cookies and third party cookies enabled

I did just sign up for a hero Sub early today though before doing the whole log out, log in thing, could that have caused an issue? I'm still logged into my account on the phone app as well

[south harness]

I'm having server error issues when I am attempting to login as well

Maybe it's not a coincidence that we are having issues

I even cleared cache and restarted my PC

[naive lodge]

What service(s) are you trying to use.

[wheat marsh]

Currently, I'm just trying to log back in on my PC

[south harness]

I'm trying to login via Twitch on my PC

[wheat marsh]

my account is linked to my twitch account

[uneven lantern]

Are you getting the same error in another browser? Or on another device?

[steep trout]

hi, getting a error 500 int server error, was logged out and cannot log back in, errors on login via twitch.

believe that the login server has fallen over

[naive lodge]

I have a message out to see if it's a known issue, for now if you can try one of the other services.

[south harness]

Yes, same error different browser

I believe @steep trout is correct, might be the login server for Twitch

Dang, I should have setup a backup for my account for logins haha

[uneven lantern]

What URL does it show for that 500?

Is it a DDB or Twitch URL?

[steep trout]

sadly, doesnt no other auth has the same subscriber/characters,

[wheat marsh]

This is the URL i get

[uneven lantern]

Perfect. Thanks!

[wheat marsh]

Np

[uneven lantern]

@wheat marsh @south harness @steep trout It seems Twitch has a one-hour scheduled downtime for the API used by DDB.

So the good news is that it’s temporary.

The bad news is that they have other scheduled downtimes coming up.

So once you’re able to get back in, I’d strongly suggest adding a Google or Apple log-in to your account to ensure uninterrupted access. You can do that here:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account

[prisma fulcrum]

I’m getting the “we don’t think you’re human, press and hold” screen repeatedly on mobile (iOS/Firefox) again. Not sure that there’s much to be done about it, but it’s frustrating.
Possibly of note: I keep going to the site because the site search is better than the app search.

[wheat marsh]

awe gotcha, I didn't know about setting up the other login methods, will defo do that after I regain access thank you!

[naive lodge]

Your use of the site, especially for just repeatedly searching, is likely tripping it. There is a service utilized to detect bot and malicious behavior.

[prisma fulcrum]

I figured as much - I’ve run into this service before with DDB. I look forward to improvements in app searching!

[steep trout]

@uneven lantern thanks for the update, is there a page detailing the downtime timetable?

[naive lodge]

We were informed that the schedule would be today, and we're expecting to be caught up in one on the 9th at 11AM PT, that one is planned to last for two hours. This one was planned for one hour.

[uneven lantern]

Here under "v5 Shutdown Timeline".
https://blog.twitch.tv/en/2021/07/15/legacy-twitch-api-v5-shutdown-details-and-timeline/

DDB's currently updating to a newer API to avoid these shutdowns, but it's a work in progress.

[orchid gate]

yeah im getting slammed by this today, I use twitch, i can sign in on app but not on web even with ALL cookies on, i hope this dosent take much longer

[uneven lantern]

All up to Twitch at the moment, I'm afraid. 😕

[timber hamlet]

Is the fact you can't swap the Sorcerer Aberrant Mind Psionic Spells feature, since the spells aren't actually added to your known list a tracked issue?

[crystal scarab]

Yep, for now though, the best workaround is making a homebrew copy of the subclass with the changes you want.

Also hi Mahk

[timber hamlet]

Hallo Astral, and as long as it's known. We just had them make a custom item with text detailing it, and then doing !sb add

[crystal scarab]

Yeah that works from the Avrae side

[idle axle]

Can't seem to sign in.

Anyone else experiencing issues?

[uneven lantern]

Which service are you using to sign in? There were some known issues on Twitch’s side earlier.

[idle axle]

That would probably be it! I'm using twitch to sign in.

[naive lodge]

There is a known issue with the Twitch API causing login issues. While we are attempting fixes on our end, there is not ETA on when either side will have anything done.

[ivory scroll]

How can I use Draconic Gifts
on my character sheet

[uneven lantern]

They’re working on a way to provide official support for that and similar features, but there’s no ETA.

In the meantime, a homebrew feat usually makes for a good workaround.

[final trellis]

For anyone who was experiencing issues accessing D&D Beyond through Twitch, this should now be resolved. We do recommend adding an alternate login method via the Account Page (https://www.dndbeyond.com/account) in case one login method is unavailable

[shy juniper]

Is this possible to implement via DDB's homebrew?

You learn and can cast Calm Emotions without expending a spell slot, using Wisdom as your spellcasting ability. Once you do so, you can't cast it again in this way until you finish a long rest. This spell doesn't count against your spells known or prepared, and can cast it using a spell slot as normal, using Wisdom or another spellcasting feature if you have one.

In short, is there a way to have a spell have charges and, when those charges are expended, use spell slots?

I tried adding the spell twice, once with a single use and once with "Consumes spell slot", but both instances showed up as "1/LR"

It's being added as a racial feature

[little plume]

Not mechanically. Your players will have to mark off spell slots manually.

[white stone]

for some reason Strixhaven spells aren't showing up in any of my campaigns. I can verify the content is linked by, e.g. searching for Strixhaven-specific magic items in Inventory, but the spells just don't show up. anybody else have that issue?

[uneven lantern]

Do you own them yourself or are they being shared with you?

Did you turn on Magic: The Gathering Content for the character you’re using?

[white stone]

it's being shared. MTG content (and every other source) is turned on

[uneven lantern]

Alright

Shared character options are available only in the campaign that’s sharing them. Is your character assigned to that campaign?

[white stone]

yep. I can see it in Content Management, I can see the Owlin race in character creation, and as mentioned when I search for Strixhaven-specific magic items in inventory, I get results as expected. it's specifically just spells that do not show.

[uneven lantern]

Next thing to check, then: if you go to this page, does it say your account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[white stone]

yep

[uneven lantern]

Let’s look at the character then. Can you share a link to that sheet?

And is there a specific spell you’re trying to add?

[oak wren]

I was creating homebrew items for a character of myne. 1 of the items adds 1 to my attack roll and 1 to my damage role. the other adds 1 to my attack roll and 1d4 acid to my damage roll. When making the item the site correctly adds the attack bonus but the damage isn't being added along with it. How would i make it to where the damage is being added as well?

[solid kestrel]

it should be Acid, not Bludgeoning, and be 1 d4, not 0 d4. And no fixed value.

[lone silo]

Hey! So I am a DM and have a campaign set up on dndbeyond. I have three characters on there who, as of yesterday, were all functioning fine and I was able to open their character sheets. However, today one of them simply will not open. It gives me a 403 error message? The player hasn't been online or used his sheet since we last reviewed it together where I could see it fine. My other players' sheets are unaffected by this. When I try alternative ways to access his sheet (such as the campaign drop down menu from another players sheet) it doesn't show up at all; only shows the two players.

Anyway to fix this?

[modest pelican]

Could their subscription have lapses and their character is now locked?

[lone silo]

my husband (one of the unaffected players) suggested that, but our friend has never subscribed before. Would he have even been able to make more than 6 characters without ever having subscribed? If so, then perhaps that would do it!

[modest pelican]

Without knowing what the user who owns the character is experiencing, it's not going to be possible to really trouble shoot this I'm afraid

[lone silo]

no problem. I will contact him when he finishes work and see if he can see anything awry on his end. Thanks anyway!

[modest pelican]

No worries

[lone silo]

Problem is fixed, but will post update here so others may know what the cause was if they get it too; can confirm he had too many characters! He has never subscribed but for some reason making a character via a join a campaign link allowed him to make more than 6 characters so it got locked

[modest pelican]

That's a known glitch that can occur, and yeah, bumping over that 6 character limit without a subscription will cause all characters to lock

[woeful sonnet]

Hi, I have all the source books for my campaigns, but in one of them my players don't see all the feats, like Polearm Master. Any suggestions?

[woeful sonnet]

yes

[modest pelican]

Do they see other shared content?

yes

[modest pelican]

Do they see other content from the Player's Handbook?

It's not just this characater, but others in teh campaign too

[modest pelican]

They already have polearm master

That'd be why it's not showing up to select

If you click 'manage feats', you can see all the feats available to the character with a 'delete' button next to the ones they have

[woeful sonnet]

Yeah, weird, they couldn't do it yesterday, and it was missing from other non-fighter sheet options. Maybe it was a sync thing

thanks for your help!

[idle talon]

Question: If you bought the books on the Mobile app (Same acc) should you be able to access them on Computer?

[solid kestrel]

the books are unlocked on your DDB account.

Yep, as long as you're logged in using the same account on both. All purchases are tied to your account

[idle talon]

If I said: I used google to sign in, (for both comp and mobile), and am missing the content that I have already purchased, who would I go about emailing to check status and whatnot? Because neither my char sheets or my purchases are showing on my cpu

[modest pelican]

First thing to check is your account purchase history

There you'll see not only your purchase history, but also your licenses. There'll also be an option to sync your entitlements if they're out of sync

You can do this by going to your account and selecting 'marketplace'

[modest pelican]

@quaint burrow can you explain the issue you're having again?

[uneven lantern]

Let's say you've got a character with 20 / 20 HP.

• Set a Max HP Modifier of -5. -> 15 / 15 HP
• Add 5 points of damage. -> 10 / 15 HP
• Change the Max HP Modifier to -4 -> 11 / 16 HP

When the modifier is reduced, the current HP increases.

[modest pelican]

I believe that's the correct behaviour

Although I can't find the rules on max hp reduction right now

[quaint burrow]

Sorry about the delay. Yes, this is correct. I don't think this should occur.. The most common time this would occur is if Greater Restoration or similar were cast on the target to remove the Max HP Reduction. I don't think this should also increase the hp - but then again perhaps it is supposed to. The other times when Max HP Reduction is removed is during long rest - so I think that part is pretty much moot anyways.

But yes, if you apply negative modifier to the Max HP, the sheet behaves as expected. Reduction of Max HP only unless that reduction brings the maximum under the current, in which case it lowers the current HP to be equal to max. However, if you change that negative modifier by increasing it, the current HP and the Max HP are both increased.

[modest pelican]

There's nothing I can find in the rules to suggest this is incorrect

[quaint burrow]

I can't find any rules about reduction of Max HP at all.. which is why I asked in the first place 🤣

[modest pelican]

Although reading around the rules, this may be incorrect. If spam hasn't already, I'll pass this along to the wiser minds

[quaint burrow]

Sounds good! Good day folks

[river obsidian]

Yoh. got a (probably silly) question: When creating an item (let's say a weapon in this case) I can go on my merry way and give it a modifier.
for example allow it to hand advantage, or disadvantage to all, or certain ability checks, save rolls or attribute checks.
There are options that also should allow for advantage/disadvantage to melee attacks, ranged attacks, weapon attacks.
The latter three at least, do not seem to work for me. What am I doing wrong?

'Working' would mean I see little green 'A' or little red 'D' next to the attacks in the action tab

[uneven lantern]

I don't think those ever appear on attacks.

Only saves, skills, and initiative.

[river obsidian]

ok, so it's by intention you can select 'Advantage' and 'melee attacks' .. but it doesn't show?

[uneven lantern]

But if you know of an official attack that does that, you can make a homebrew copy and see how that was set up.

[river obsidian]

Well, I was trying to.. 'sword of vengence' was my base item, not that it does what it's description said.

[uneven lantern]

Does an unaltered sword of vengeance show that icon for the attack?

[river obsidian]

nope

So my thought on it is that it might be broken, prolly for a long enough time for noone to remember... or never worked?

[uneven lantern]

Even the ones that do show were only added last year, I think.

[river obsidian]

btw, the sword of vengance has only one modifier.. that is 'bonus' 'magic' '+1'

on copy I mean

[uneven lantern]

Ah. Then yeah, it definitely wouldn't show that icon regardless.

[river obsidian]

Ohwell, thanks for the light on the matter.

I guess my poor players and I will have to remember then.

[uneven lantern]

Your next best option...

If you click on the attack and open the Customize section in the side menu, you'll see a Notes field. Whatever you put in there shows up to the right of the attack.

You can even use emoji there.

So you can use that to add some flag / symbol to remind yourselves.

[river obsidian]

yeah, but then that player, or me, got to do that for all their attacks :p

It's alright though. we shall survive.. well, maybe not all chuckles

[crystal scarab]

You can WHAT

[river obsidian]

ohh, wait! emojis? what's the syntax there?

because :C

is just that, not a aww-face

[crystal scarab]

Likely meaning what you can do on mobile, putting in emojis, can transfer to the actual sheet

[uneven lantern]

If you don't have an emoji keyboard on your computer, you can google the one you want and copy+paste it in.

Works for spell notes, too, which is how I track all my spells with costly / consumed components.

[river obsidian]

nice

I didn't learn what I came here for.. but something else...

[uneven lantern]

It probably depends on whether the discount applies to the original cost or the remaining amount (and I doubt we’ll find out until it starts).

[fickle niche]

Thanks... I was just wondering 🙂 Have to wait and see 😄

Have a great week 🙂

[elder moat]

if you have disadvantage on a roll, but you use lucky do you have to roll with disadvantage still and keep the lower number or do you keep the new reroll from the feat. because it says you get to choose between the dice.

[green grail]

Anyone know how to make spells tied to magic items use constitution to generate to hit values and DCs in homebrew creation?

[uneven lantern]

I don’t think that’s possible with a magic item.

Generally speaking, the homebrew system is built to facilitate the official rules, so unless there’s an official magic item that does that, it probably can’t be done.

If this is for your own private game, you could potentially pair it with a homebrew feat instead, which would let you change the ability score.

[green grail]

fair enough, thanks for the tip 👍 it's super hard to determine this kind of precedent without going through all of the items one by one lol

[little plume]

when i made a subclass it seas "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels." what do i need to look at to fix this?

[crystal scarab]

Assuming all of the levels are right, go to the very first subclass page and then click save. That should fix it.

[uneven lantern]

If that doesn't do it, you can check here to make sure you've got the right levels:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/23242-creating-subclasses-guide

[little plume]

do i need a subclass feature for all those levels and can i have more then one feature per level?

[placid cypress]

How can I make a companion like the steel defender for a homebrew subclass

[uneven lantern]

You need at least one feature at each level specified there.

It doesn’t have to do anything, but it does need to exist.

[uneven lantern]

You can make a homebrew copy of Battle Smith if you want to see exactly how it was set up. Then you can edit or copy it as needed.

But what part has you stuck, specifically?

[placid cypress]

Using proficiency as part of said creatures stats

[uneven lantern]

In the subclass? Or in a monster statblock for the Extras tab?

[placid cypress]

Monster statblock

[uneven lantern]

One important thing to note is that the Steel Defender currently available in the extras tab is the original version of that statblock.

The proficiency bonus scaling wasn’t added until that subclass was re-printed in TCoE.

[little plume]

so i can have more then one feature like 3 features at example level 10 for the barbarian class?

[uneven lantern]

Yes

[little plume]

ok

[uneven lantern]

Anyway, if you want proficiency bonus scaling currently, you’ll need to manually set those values in the creature statblock.

So instead of +PB, put +2 (or whatever your bonus actually is).

Then add it to your Extras tab under a different category, like Misc (or pets or mounts or something).

[placid cypress]

I'll give that a shot thank you

[little plume]

why cant i use my custom race?

[uneven lantern]

Do you have Homebrew Content enabled for that character?

ok so im in help now

[bleak heart]

Anyway you can't import a campaign into discord, rather you get your player's to import their characters with avrae

that way the character sheet is accessible to them when they play the game

[radiant ether]

i know how to do that but not sure how to get the campaign or homebrew creations such as npcs and such in

never played a game in ddb only on discord

[edgy oriole]

Avrae does not, at this time, have a direct way to bring in homebrew spells and monsters from DnDBeyond.

[bleak heart]

ddb is just the content for d&d

it supplements your games on discord

[radiant ether]

so not sure how to set that up to run a campaign in ddb and invite my discord group to it

[bleak heart]

it's not a new platform or anything

[radiant ether]

that is what i thought but if I create all my campaign content in ddb there must be a way to import it into discord to use

right

[bleak heart]

I think you're wholly misunderstanding what ddb is for

[radiant ether]

ok explain

[bleak heart]

so what do you mean by importing your campaign content to use in discord

[radiant ether]

you said that if i want people to have access to my paid online content i must create my campaign in ddb

and i have tried to import npcs and homebrew but it doesnt work the same as importing a character sheet

[modest pelican]

There are three ways to link D&D Beyond and avrae

1. Link you discord account to your D&D Beyond from the website. This will let you access your purchased content
2. Link a specific character to Avrae, this will let you pull up their abilities and roll using then
3. Link a campaign to Avrae, this will let rolls from the game log appear in discord and vice versa

[radiant ether]

so i am just trying to figure out how to work it

ok how do i do numbers 1 and 3

[modest pelican]

You can't access homebrew on D&D Beyond via avrae (yet), that homebrew needs to be made on a different platform that avrae supports such as critterDB (for monsters)

[radiant ether]

ok diddnt know that

thanks do you have a link for critterdb

[modest pelican]

All this information can be found on the avrae.io site or by asking in #ddb-avrae-help

I don't, but you can just Google critterDB

[radiant ether]

ok i will switch to avrae help

thanks

[red otter]

hi all! im new to d&d and in fact im just creating my first proper dude. i got invited to play a level 13 campaign with some friends. i decided to play gunslinger human dude. basically my issue is this, i am using the d&d beyond character creation thing. but when i go to select feats theres only two available? grapple and some other gun related one. is that right? because i looked up a guide and i saw plenty more options

i even had the choice to choose more than 2 feats but when i go to select a 3rd one nothing comes up. its as if i cant see anymore or theyre locked i dunno

[uneven lantern]

Have you purchased any of the other available feats?

[red otter]

oh theyre behind a paywall?

[uneven lantern]

The free Basic Rules contain a limited number.

Is there a specific feat you were looking for?

[red otter]

how would i get access to more? im not quite sure how it works tbh

sharpshooter and lucky specifically

im literally just going off a guide that looks fun ngl but the DM says its ok since im a bot anyways

[uneven lantern]

Those are both in the PHB. You can get the whole book, or just the feat bundle if you want.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

If you do get the bundle, the $4 you spend get credited toward the remaining price of the book itself, too.

But that'll get you 41 feats in total.

There's a bunch more in other books, too.

[red otter]

ahh cool ive got no issues with paying it looks pretty cool, does it just link to my account. like account bound similar to dlc?

[edgy oriole]

It gets tied to your account

And you can use it with the DnDBeyond tools

[red otter]

i dont need to subscribe do i?

[edgy oriole]

No subscription needed. Subscription unlocks other perks and unlimited character sheets. Free accounts only get up to 6 characters.

[red otter]

ahhhh well thatll do it! thank you so much for the help guys, appreciate it

[uneven lantern]

A Master Tier subscription also lets you enable Content Sharing for up to five campaigns. Any game content purchased by the campaign members gets shared with the whole group.

[solid elm]

Is there a way to create a homebrew magic arrow in DNDB that will stack? For instance I can't seem to change the quantity to 10 or 20 like a normal arrow

[uneven lantern]

You'll probably have more luck with a Custom Item directly on the character sheet.

Assuming these aren't anything more than just a text description, anyway.

[solid elm]

Hmm yeah that will have to do. Was hoping I was missing something in the magic item creator options

[mental pumice]

My friend is trying to join a campaign using the campaign link, but when he signs in it brings him back to the sign in page instead of the campaign. He's stuck in a loop of signing in. Help me rescue my friend from the abyss?

Oh crap he just shared me his screen it literally brings him back to the sign in page.

[uneven lantern]

Have him try signing in on the homepage first, and then try the link.

[last burrow]

Does your HP increase automatically with your level? My math isn't adding up with DDB

[uneven lantern]

If you have the "Hit Point Type" (in character settings) set to Fixed, it does.

If it's set to Manual, you'll need to update it yourself by going to the Class tab and hitting the "Manage HP" button.

[digital anchor]

I have a problem with some of my players. Their characters are in a campaign, that campaign is added to Avrae, Discord is added to DDB. When these certain characters (not all of them) make rolls they show up in Discord as "Invalid Users". Anyone have an idea of what's going on here?

[edgy wadi]

I’m trying to connect and this happens

[modest pelican]

@edgy wadi that's probably because the built in browser of discord has third party cookies disabled, which are required to log in

[edgy wadi]

I got it I believe haha the link was for others to click once I switched browsers haha

[modest pelican]

Try going to your account in your browser and linking your account there

[uneven lantern]

I'd have everyone run through !tutorial beyond to make sure they're all set up correctly.

In addition to the steps you mentioned already, each player should import their character into Avrae and link their DDB and Discord accounts. That tutorial has instructions for both.

[last burrow]

I will try this, thank you

[uneven lantern]

Just add the amount you rolled to the number already there. Your CON mod gets added automatically.

[midnight iris]

Question... I'm a DM and I'm looking at a player's character sheet in my campaign. Normally I can edit my players' sheets if I need to, but for one of my players when I go in to edit his sheet, it shows the information about each page but doesn't let me select any options.

[uneven lantern]

You're probably looking at the public share link.

[midnight iris]

For example, I want to edit a character's ability scores and I get this:

[uneven lantern]

Try going back to your campaign and clicking on the character from there.

Oh! They've got Help mode turned on.

[midnight iris]

Oh

OH!

Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

There should be an arrow on the side of the screen to continue.

[midnight iris]

I didn't even notice the little blue questionmark

that got it, thanks 🙂

[tawny osprey]

trying to import my char into our server for our game and this thing won't let me, says the accounts aren't linked and will not let me link them

Avrae? We have #ddb-avrae-help for that but you need to use the !import http://link-to-your-character to bring it into Avrae.

For more help use the !help command. You may also find the !tutorial command helpful for learning how to use Avrae.

Hello Discord, I wanted to come and ask advice on where would I go to look for people interested in a semi-homebrew pokemon mystery dungeon campaign? Recently I've been watching a couple of vods every then and there and to be honest, it looks like it could be tons of fun! The problem is I don't know where to look for others that are interested (preferably I'd want to be a player but I have experience DMing to but I don't want to end up a forever DM) If someone could point me in the right direction that would amazing!

[queen burrow]

my character has a plus 1 shield and I am an artificer with the Infusion: Enhanced Defense and dnd beyond wont wont let me me pick my plus one shield. idk if it just want coded or something just wanted to ask and if it would get added soon

[dawn egret]

reddit's r/lfg probably. also this isn't the channel to ask that. this channel is for help with DDB, not asking where to find players.

[median basin]

oh, thanks I'll head that way

That’s correct per the rules. You can only infuse non-magical objects.

Hey I don’t know where else to ask but Can you use balm of the summer court while in animal form or does that count towards not being able to cast spells as well

[uneven lantern]

#dnd-rules is the place to ask 👍

This channel is for technical help regarding DDB itself.

But to answer your question, Balm of the Summer Court is not a spell, so it’s not explicitly prohibited.

Instead, it would fall under this part of Wild Shape:

You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so.

Whether any given form is physically capable of any given feature is up to your DM.

(But I suspect most would allow this one.)

[dire tundra]

It there a way I can implement this "While attuned to this magical revolver, you gain a bonus to your attack and damage rolls equal to half your proficiency modifier rounded down when you attack with this magic weapon."

[solid kestrel]

I don't think a magic item can read for that in DDB

[modest pelican]

No, you can only add a fixed value

[surreal dagger]

hi, ive been unable to edit characters for a week... ive made two forum posts and a ticket. can any one help please..

[modest pelican]

If you've made a ticket, you're best off waiting for a customer support rep to respond. Tickets are addressed in the order they're received, and the team doesn't work weekends, so you may need to just be patient

[gentle quartz]

I'm not complaining, but I previously owned the majority of content on D&D Beyond. Finishing it off with a legendary bundle would have cost me ~$220, but with the 20% sale it only charged me $77. Did the 20% discount go on the price of the entire bundle, so discount the value of what would be a full legendary bundle to the few books I still needed? Very happy either way to now own everything!

[prisma fulcrum]

I believe you get a flat discount equal to the amount of money you've spent on the content within the bundle when you buy it

So I think your hypothesis is probably correct

[crystal scarab]

yep

Pretty cool like that

[prisma fulcrum]

Has that always been the case? I remember getting a hilariously good deal on the legendary bundle by completing the sourcebook bundle and then buying legendary during a previous bundle sale

[smoky flint]

When I make a homebrew magical Item on D&D beyond how do I add once per short or long rest to a ability on the magical item?

When I make a homebrew magical Item on D&D beyond how do I add plus to all saving throws?

[prisma fulcrum]

The best answer to these sorts of questions is:

1. Find a (non-homebrew) item that does the feature you want
2. Make a copy of that item and see how it does it

[uneven lantern]

A Cloak of Protection, for example, would show you how to add the saving throw bonus.

But basically you need a Modifier with Type: Bonus, Subtype: Saving Throws, and Fixed Value: 1 (or 2 or whatever the bonus is).

As for the other, on the main page for your item, open up Additional Information. You’ll want to check “Has Charges”, then give it a single charge that resets on a short rest.

[smoky flint]

Your examples are tooltips. You're probably meaning to ask about the [rollable] tag. That's something else

Anything helps! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

[little plume]

The [rollable] tag works on Monsters and gives the appropriate dice rolls on an encounter you build.

[pure hamlet]

Okay, do you know if it will work in the spectrum of sentient weapons or do you think I'll have to make an item for each state?

[modest pelican]

Probably wanna move this over to #homebrew

[little plume]

If you mean the sentient weapon is a Monster/NPC then you can totally add each different state to it's actions window. Just set up the text and the [rollable] tag correctly for each.

If you're talking about anything else, I think you might be confused about what is possible using ddb homebrew.

Again thank you, I'll ask in homebrew chat 🙏

Hi, everyone! I’m not sure if anyone else has this problem, but something weird happened to my equipment. Custom items I added awhile back have tripled and cannot be removed or renamed. Every time I try I get an error. That happens only in browser version.

Weirdly the app doesn’t have that issue. I deleted the glitched items from there, but only one of the tripled items disappeared from the browser version.

I think the problem started when D&D beyond had that glitch when all your items unattuned, though I don’t remember when that was...

Does anyone know if it’s possible to fix this?

Is there a way for the campaign's DM to duplicate a player's character sheet? A player of mine lost her account credentials (and had to create another one), we wanted to duplicate her original sheet and take control of it using her new account. We know that she could duplicate it using her original account but we couldn't find a way of doing it using a DM's account.

[uneven lantern]

Only the player can duplicate that character, I’m afraid.

The Player should be making a support ticket so we can assist with regain access to the original account

You should not need to. However, you should still be able to see them under your my homebrew creations, are they in there?

[whole aspen]

Yes, it is in there. It says it is published but I cant find it, even with the search function

Did the link work?

[naive lodge]

That one did, yes, can you provide a link to the ones that say they're published?

Thats a subrace - the homebrew listing only shows parent races not subraces.

Oh no! Am I able to change that?

It doesnt look likle I can edit

[ornate summit]

How do rating thresholds work on ddb for like, searching for homebrew?

[uneven lantern]

I think it’s just upvotes minus downvotes.

So if you put 100, then the results it shows have at least 100 more upvotes than downvotes.

[wooden hinge]

So I'm wondering why all of the Grimm Hollow homebrewstuff that I had added to my collection is starting to disappear if someone could please explain what's going on with that I would appreciate it as my campaign currently using it

[modest pelican]

Because it's a third party publication and should not have been published in the first place
As such, it will have been removed from public homebrew and thus from your collection

If you want to use it, you will need to purchase the content from the publisher and enter it into the homebrew system yourself (Not publishing it)

in future, if you find third party content published on D&D Beyond, you should avoid adding it to your collection; it can be removed at any time

[uneven lantern]

Per the homebrew rules and guidelines:

Do not submit any content owned by a third party D&D partner (e.g. Critical Role content, content from Kobold Press, etc).
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

But if you need a hand creating that homebrew yourself, we're happy to answer any questions you've got. 👍

[wooden hinge]

Well that sucks as I have the book but I find it hard to make the stuff for my group in Homebrew and was finally easier because now my players were able to actually use the stuff in the book since we use dndbeyond as we play online and most of my players are not in the same country as I am

[modest pelican]

I'm sorry, but our homebrew rules are very explicit; publishing third party content is not only a violation of D&D Beyond site rules, but also copyright infringement

[violet vortex]

DDB doesn’t have a license to publish Grim Hollow, so that’s unfortunately the best that can be done.

[modest pelican]

The person that published it should not have done so, and it's unfortunate that you have been inconvenienced by it being removed

[uneven lantern]

If Ghostfire Gaming submitted it themselves, it would not be an issue.

[wide anchor]

toll the dead doesnt show up for me in actions, is this normal?

[uneven lantern]

Question: What could be the reason, if signing in doesn´t work for the ddb website? I already got an account, I always used Google to sign in, but somehow, it doesn´t work this time. :/

[uneven lantern]

In what way does it not work? What's the exact issue?

[naive lodge]

There are numerous reasons: Third party cookies are blocked, an extension is causing an issue, bad cookies and/or cache, security software, VPNs.

[tardy willow]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/sign-in?returnUrl=https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/builder I´m using this site and it doesn´t work, when I click on the "Sign in with Google" option.

But it could be the cookies. I´ll try those

[uneven lantern]

What happens when you click "Sign in with Google"? At what point does it stop working?

Understanding the specific issue will help us give you more specific advice on how to fix it.

[crystal saffron]

Does DDB intend on adding the D&D NERDS candy adventures and characters? I ate a lot of candy to collect them all...

[uneven lantern]

Ultimately what content does or does not appear on the site is up to WotC, not DDB.

[tardy willow]

It doesn´t react at all, when I click the button. I got cookies now deactivated for the dndbeyond website too

[uneven lantern]

Are you using Chrome? You'll need to ensure third-party cookies are enabled.

And regardless of the browser, I'd also suggest checking that pop-up windows aren't blocked.

[tardy willow]

I am using Chrome. I have allowed all cookies and that pop up windows aren´t blocked, even put ddb as exception in both cases

[uneven lantern]

Do you get the same issue in Incognito mode? In another browser? On another device?

[tardy willow]

It didn´t work with Firefox, but with my mobile phone it did, weirdly even without incognito mode

[naive lodge]

That suggests it's something with the device. A VPN or security software could be causing an issue, Kaspersky is known to do that for example.

[tardy willow]

Well, then that´s the problem. I have Kaspersky. Is there anything I can do about it?

[uneven lantern]

You can check if you have the "Private Browsing" setting that blocks data collection. This setting is known to block the Google login button functioning.

[tardy willow]

Now it suddenly worked with Firefox. Don´t ask me what I changed tho. It´s the same as before. 😅 Thanks for the help.

I´m never gonna log out again from now on

[uneven lantern]

I’d also suggest adding an Apple and/or Twitch sign-in as well.

That was if any one of them gives you trouble, you can still get in through the other.

[tardy willow]

Thanks for the tip, but I got neither Apple, nor Twitch. Otherwise, I´d have tried that.

[teal hawk]

i am trying to tweak the spell Shillelagh to scale with the casters level. (+1 weapon at 5th, +2 at 11th, and +3 th 17th). ive made a copy to the spell, ticked the "at highter level" box, selected player level, edited the discription and title, and added 3 at higher level modifiers

they all go somthing like this:

Scaling level value: 5.
Modifier to scale: Damage - Bludgeoning.
Scale Effect: Additional Points.
Fixed Value: 1
everything else is blank.

this is not scaling right.

at 17th level it registers the damage as 0

[little plume]

What do you have set in HIGHER LEVEL SCALING TYPE?

I'm assuming you're making a cantrip, so HIGHER LEVEL SCALING TYPE should be Character Level. But I'm concerned you're not going to get what you want. First you have no damage Modifier to scale: Damage - Bludgeoning. This indicates to me you're scaling an empty damage value. Similar to Booming Blade adding something to nothing, But that's not Shillelagh. Maybe that's you're end goal, ok then.

But all of this is beside the point because this method could add something to your damage it is not a method for giving a bonus To Hit like a magical weapon does at least in a scalable way.

[teal hawk]

1. ive set it to character level
2. Damage - Bludgeoning is modifier that's auto filled if you copy Shillelagh. its 1d8 bludgeoning damage

[little plume]

Right. I'd expect to see that 1d8 in the MODIFIER TO SCALE. That's my confusion. But my second point remains valid, you can't scale a To Hit bonus

[teal hawk]

um.

its in modifier to scale

[little plume]

Yeah but it's Additional Points. That adds to damage

[teal hawk]

sad about the to hit thing

[teal hawk]

yea thats what that particuler higher level scaleing is suposed to do.

but its not

if i throw the spell into a lvl 17 character it registers the damage as 0

[little plume]

You need an entry for 5th level, 11th level, and 17th level if you're content with just adding to the damage.

[teal hawk]

yes here is the feature that is suposed to scale the damage

(for 5th level, the numbers are different for 11th and 17, but i have virtually identical features for them)

the problem is that when i give this spell to a level 5+ character the character sheet shows the damage as 0

[little plume]

I'm checking to make sure I'm right before giving an answer

[teal hawk]

thanks

[little plume]

You need to fill out DICE COUNT and DIE TYPE even if they don't change

[teal hawk]

ah

[little plume]

I'll need to add a new comment on my At Higher Levels Explained forum post with this tidbit

[indigo wagon]

Hi, sorry for the question but was the discount removed after you bought the legendary bundle? like i bought the legendary bundle maybe 1 or 2 years ago and on every future book i had a 10% Discount i think. the price dropped from 30$ to 25$. but now ewhen i look in shop every book costs 30$ again

[modest pelican]

It's a 15% discount for the legendary bundle, but you'll wanna make sure you're signed in with the right account

Also check your entitlements to ensure the legendary bundle is there

[indigo wagon]

oh yes then i meant 15% and not 10%.

[modest pelican]

You'll wanna go here
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace#:~:text=Current Product Licenses

[indigo wagon]

do i have to press Sync entitlements?

because in the current licenses i see the legendary bundle

[modest pelican]

Then yeah, pressing sync entitlements should help

[indigo wagon]

hm sadly still shows 30$ could it be because i already preordered them? i thought that it normally still shows 25$ afterwards

[modest pelican]

The price displayed at time of order will be the price you pay

I would advise you enter a customer service ticket here: https://dndbeyond.link/SubmitTicket

[uneven lantern]

Are you trying to purchase it for yourself or as a gift?

The discount applies only to purchases for yourself.

So if you have "Purchase as Gift" selected, it will show the original price.

[indigo wagon]

i already purchased all of them myself. i just wanted to look again when the Multiverse-Book is released and then i noticed the price change. when i preordered it i still had the discount. so yea that maybe explains it. I'll see when a new book is announced if the discount is visible again. If not then I'll do the ticket

but thx for the help atm

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, if you already purchased it yourself, any repeat purchases would be for gift codes, where the discount does not apply.

[indigo wagon]

ok that explains it, thanks

[uneven lantern]

You should see the next book at the discounted price again.

[mighty cape]

What’s up with the update of the books?

[modest pelican]

erratas, bug fixes, formatting tweaks

[nimble pumice]

Any idea when the inventory bug is going to be fixed?

[modest pelican]

You will need to be more specific, what inventory bug?

[nimble pumice]

Awkward, it was fixed. For a while you could not use the filter manage inventory. It happened to a couple more people as well.

[modest pelican]

You would not get a percent off, you would get credit equal to the amount you paid for those books

[modest pelican]

How do you mean "could not use the filter manage inventory"?

[smoky flint]

so Wait What happens if you the players bundle. Is it the price of the players bundle you get off or is it the price of each individual book you get off

[uneven lantern]

It's the amount you paid.

If you paid $100 for the player's bundle, it subtracts $100.

[smoky flint]

What if you bought with a discount is it full the price or discounted price?

[uneven lantern]

It's the amount you paid.

If you paid $100, it subtracts $100. If you paid $80, it subtracts $80.

[little plume]

it's a shame ddb doesn't show you prices for other countries on the website

[modest pelican]

D&D Beyond is a US based company and as such operates in dollars

[little plume]

so everything is in dollars and I am not an american

[little plume]

yeah of course

[uneven lantern]

Until you enter your address during checkout, it doesn't even know what country you're in.

[modest pelican]

Due to not only fluctuating exchange rates, but also the conversion changes your bank operates in, there would be no way to provide accurate information

[little plume]

but would it hurt to make it able to show you what the thing costs in local currencies? drivethrurpg does it and it's american too i think

[smoky flint]

Something does not add up cause in the shop it says the sourcebook bundle is only 241.10 dollars. But I only spent 136.77 on the players bundle the DMG and Monster Manual it should be 335.55 dollars for me. Am I missing something?'

[uneven lantern]

We can definitely pass the feedback along.

[smoky flint]

sorry for so many questions. Just trying to figure this out

[uneven lantern]

The sourcebook bundle is normally $472.32.
It's on sale for 20% off -- $377.85.
$377.85 - $136.77 = $241.08

[smoky flint]

okay that what I missed thank you.

[zenith vapor]

DnDBeyond support said I should remake the Brute UA archetype in homebrew but I have no idea how to actually use the homebrew feature and im currently lost in menus and text boxes

[modest pelican]

You want #homebrew
If you can't see that channel, head to #880965682462875679 and select the appropriate role

[zenith vapor]

cheers

[mighty cape]

I just subscribed to Master Tier, and it said payment successful, but I haven't been charged, why?

[modest pelican]

We can't answer that here, you probably want to ask your bank

[mighty cape]

Yeah, will do. But the weird thing is it displays that I have a master subscription, and I have access to all the benefits for some reason.

[uneven lantern]

It might just still be processing.

[mighty cape]

It's been half an hour.

On the main page it looks like my account doesn't have the subscription because it says "subscribe", but on every other page it says "my subscription" and when I press it it shows me that I have a master subscription.

Oh wait, now it does sat "my subscription" on the main page...

Now it doesn't...

something weird is going on

[mighty cape]

Yeah, you're probably right. My bank's working hours have ended today.

[solid flower]

Hey I've got a question. I have Fizbans Guide to Dragons in hard copy and I was wondering if there was a way I could use that in the character creation menu without having to buy it again

[modest pelican]

You would either have to
a. Join a content sharing enabled campaign with someone who owns the book
or
b. Use the homebrew tools to enter the content into the system yourself for personal use only

[uneven lantern]

Or c. buy just the character options you need instead of the whole book.

Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

[solid flower]

Okay

Thanks guys

Wait, cant you add the Beasmaster subclass for Ranger?

[uneven lantern]

The free Basic Rules contain one subclass for each class. For ranger, that's Hunter.

Beast Master is available in the PHB:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/players-handbook

Again, you can buy just the subclass if that's all you need.

Or if you've got the physical book, you can recreate it for free through the homebrew system.

[solid flower]

Okay

[warm crane]

Hi 👋 I’m having some trouble with homebrew content. Additional Racial Traits don’t seem to be appearing in the character builder. Any suggestions?

[naive lodge]

I'd recommend asking over in #homebrew, as you'll likely get much faster help there.

[warm crane]

Thanks!

[warm crane]

Perhaps I’m missing something, but I don’t see that channel?

[lime gulch]

https://discordapp.com/channels/516367331358801950/880965682462875679/880975659655127080

[uneven lantern]

Do you mean a Racial Trait with the "Additional" Feature Type?

That sets it up as an optional feature, so the user would have to opt in first.

If you want them to recieve the feature automatically, the Feature Type should be "Granted".

[warm crane]

That’s precisely what I mean. However, no option to select it is presented in the builder, nor does it appear in the race description. It doesn’t show anywhere except the backend homebrew builder.

[uneven lantern]

Can you share a screenshot of it the character builder?

To view optional features, you need to first enable "Customize Your Origin" in the character settings, then click "Origin Manager" on the race selection page.

Also, be aware that homebrew edits can sometime take up to 15 minutes to show up on the character sheet, so if you just barely added that, it might just need a sec to catch up.

[warm crane]

That did it. Thanks so much!

[gilded stream]

hello.
i already have D&D books in physical but i don't know how to have acces to the same contents on the site(like having all the archetype) without buying the books a second time .
sorry for my English i'm french.
thanks.

[violet vortex]

You have to buy them through D&D Beyond

[violet vortex]

There’s no way to access the books through D&D Beyond without buying them again. Wizards of the Coast and D&D Beyond are two separate companies who provide two separate products.

I believe the only exception is the Essentials Kit.

[gilded stream]

the essentials kit is the player handbooks,bestiaire, and the md book?

[modest pelican]

No, the essentials kit is the basic rules (already free) plus an adventure

[gilded stream]

ok thanks

[digital wolf]

If you buy the physical Essentials Kit box set, it comes with a code that unlocks the Essentials Kit bundle (Dragon of Icespire Peak, and 3 digital-exclusive supplementary adventures) on D&D Beyond.
It also includes a code that you can use to purchase the PHB on D&D Beyond at a discounted price.

[uneven lantern]

You can also use the homebrew tools if you want to recreate your book content for free.

Or you can buy just the parts you need instead, like a single archetype. Whatever you spend on those gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

[frozen citrus]

I need some help with making a homebrewed subclass on dndbeyond

[uneven lantern]

What kind of help?

[frozen citrus]

It’s all just very overwhelming and this is my first homebrew ever an first time using dndbeyond for this

I need help mainly with the class features because it’s a barbarian subclass

[uneven lantern]

The best general advice is to select an existing barb subclass as a template. Then you can dig in and see exactly how that was set up, and either change it or copy it as needed.

Where exactly are you stuck, though?

[frozen citrus]

Im stuck on how to add features like the subclass allows you to pick a damage type from lightning, Thunder, and Force and Im wondering if i need to make that its own 3rd level feature

[severe marsh]

I'm trying to figure out why my gnome bard had disadvantage on stealth with padded armor. any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

Padded armor always gives disadvantage.

Stealth. If the Armor table shows "Disadvantage" in the Stealth column, the wearer has disadvantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/equipment#LightArmor

[severe marsh]

thanks

i think that's dumb af, but whatever just my opinion

[uneven lantern]

Generally speaking, you’ll want to use Options any time you want to give the player a choice.

So you’d have an Option for “Lightning”, and inside it would be everything that depends on that choice (I’m assuming an Action that provides a lightning attack).

[frozen citrus]

No it’s something at happens because it adds 2d6 of the damage type you choose so no action needed

[uneven lantern]

Regardless: if you want to give them a choice, Options is the way to go.

[halcyon comet]

Im trying to create homebrew content in a way that shows up as close to RAW in a character sheet. Does anyone have a list of tooltips programmed in to put in the Snippet section?

[uneven lantern]

Depends on what you mean by tooltips, but if we're going by the DDB definition, this should help:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/9811-how-to-add-tooltips

[halcyon comet]

yeah! Something like these but in terms of a scaleable feature + your Con Mod. I'm trying to make it so it's streamlined for my newer players to see in their Character Sheet when they level up

"Additionally, you gain temporary hit points equal to {{scaleable}} {{modifier:con}}" I think I'm doing this right but

[uneven lantern]

Gotcha! This is the one you want, then:
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/25930-using-snippet-codes-in-your-homebrew

[halcyon comet]

AHH you're the best tysm

[uneven lantern]

{{scalevalue+modifier:con}} is probably what you want.

[halcyon comet]

Oh so I can do it all as one then?

[uneven lantern]

Though I'd phrase it as "Additionally, you gain {{scalevalue+modifier:con}} temporary hit points."

[uneven lantern]

Yep!

[halcyon comet]

Duuuude you're the best tysm

[short vale]

Hey. So, I either got booted / accidently left my buddy's campaign on dnd b and now I seem unable to rejoin that or any other campaign with the same character.... Any ideas?

[uneven lantern]

What exactly happens when you try to join?

[short vale]

If I attempt to join a campaign, all of my characters that arent in campaigns pop up as options... except a specific character.

Thinking back on it, I might have created them as an unassigned character in a campaign... That could be the issue, if its the case?

But it doesnt currently list the character as in a campaign, either

When I try to join a campaign...

[violet vortex]

Isn’t the one on the left greyed out because she’s in another campaign?

[short vale]

Yep! But you'll notice Solitude, the lvl 12 monk, isnt an option.

[uneven lantern]

Very strange 🤔

Can you share a link to that character?

[short vale]

https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/SLG_BEARJEW/characters/64513676

[little plume]

They'll need to fill out the LEVEL SCALING section to use {{scalevalue}}

[uneven lantern]

I assumed they had, since they used the word "scaleable", but yeah, fair point.

"When you assume" and all that. 😅

[uneven lantern]

I'll send this over behind-the-scenes and see if anyone has an answer for you. 👍

[short vale]

Thank you thank you.

[uneven lantern]

I've been told it's fixed! Can you try again?

[short vale]

It worked!

[civic bridge]

QQ, for my thing saying that I'm looking for players am I okay to add a server invite to it or would that need to go into somewhere else?

[naive lodge]

If you are advertising for a server it would need to go in #looking-for-community

[civic bridge]

Okay

[timid yarrow]

How do I Imbed a spell link into a spell list in Homebrew Subclasses?
