Hey there, odd question.

So i'm attempting to input firearms from the Technomancers Textbook homebrew into D&DB for a server I run, and i'm running into the issue that these weapons don't add your ability mod to the attack damage, but I can't seem to find a way to make that a thing when i'm doing the item up in homebrew. Is there a way to remove that? Or would I simply have to live with it?

[uneven lantern]

No. Shared character options are only available for characters within the campaign, but they should be able to access shared books directly from the Sources menu (assuming someone in the campaign already owns that book).

I’d suggest having them check whether their account entitlements are in sync.

Oh hey, I'm getting the client-side error now logging in to DDB with Firefox v. 98 and trying to access https://www.dndbeyond.com/store/subscriptions/manage.

Console error message (via web developer tools):

[desert meadow]

Is there a way to 'force' a homebrew item/feat/etc. to update? Sometimes its instant sometimes it takes hours. Or is there a trick?

[edgy oriole]

It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes normally for the cache to be refreshed/updated. But I've heard that triggering inspiration on/off on the sheet can help speed that up.

[edgy oriole]

So is there any known issue with the DDB subscription page for logged-in users?

[naive lodge]

Not that I'm aware, what sort of problem(s) are you seeing?

[little plume]

I have so many questions, i am literally just starting today. one such question is how do I play, if it is basically rp with a few more steps i can do that lol but i just need some help and to know where i should go to play for the first time.

[old geyser]

#750812887697588356 is a nice place to start looking for games to play. There are also many other places to look for them, so spend some time searching around!

[violet tangle]

A lot of image files aren't loading for me. Is this something others are experiencing as well? Example from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes:

[edgy oriole]

Client-side error message when trying to view my subscriptions-see #ddb-support message

[naive lodge]

Can you provide a screenshot of what you see, as your browser would be the client.

[naive lodge]

Can you try clearing your cache and disabling extensions that could be interfering?

[little plume]

So I have an Question about the snippet to get half of the modifier to an reset how can that be done?

[edgy oriole]

Here is the error message

[modest pelican]

This has been passed along to the team

[little plume]

Hi i trying to add ability score that one can choose which score you want to increase to my race but its not adding it to the stats. I go to Modifiers then select Bonus then choose and ability score.

Is there something else I am suppose to do?

[wanton shard]

You need to set the Fixed Value for whatever stat bonus you're granting. E.g. for a +1 to a choice of stat, the Fixed Value field would be 1

Also ensure that you've clicked Save from the main portion of the homebrew race. Homebrew edits may take some time to populate to the character sheet as well — you can often speed this up by toggling inspiration on/off and refreshing the character sheet, or else by bumping the character level up and back down or removing and re-adding the homebrew to the sheet

[little plume]

ok its working now it just didn't want to update

thx

[whole tiger]

I'm having a problem

I made a homebrew subclass, but I can't post it, and the reasons presented don't make sense

"This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels"
sorcerer subclasses get a features at levels 1,6,14 and 18, which is what I made in this subclass

"is currently too similar to Circle of Spores to share with the community"
it's literally nothing like it

I'm confused

[wanton shard]

Be sure to hit Save again from the main section; this is the only time that the automod checks the subclass

Also, remember that publishing is permanent and can't be un-done. Typically it should only be done once your homebrew has been thoroughly proofread and play-tested

[uneven lantern]

Those warnings also only apply if you’re publishing it (to the global community). You can ignore them entirely if it’s just for your own campaign. It will be shared with your party automatically.

[whole tiger]

just did, both are gone, thanks

one thing though

"This homebrew Subclass has data mapped to it that is licensed content or private homebrew. This typically occurs when licensed or private homebrew spells are linked to the Subclass."
does this apply to spell names? because that's the only thing that I can think of that's close to this

[wanton shard]

Anything that isn't free content (and so on D&D Beyond part of the Basic Rules or Elemental Evil Player's Companion, and maybe the Haunted One background?) cannot be attached to a published piece of homebrew. Nor can any other homebrew

[whole tiger]

so if I named some spells that aren't in the basic rules/EEPC in the spell list it doesn't work I assume?

[wanton shard]

Correct

[whole tiger]

I see, well, just gotta change a few spells then

[whole tiger]

I changed the spells and saved but it's still there

I made sure they're all from either the basic rules or the EEPC

[wanton shard]

Can you post a link to the affected homebrew?

[whole tiger]

one sec

actually, I may have found the problem

nevermind, I didn't, so how do I post the link?

do I just go to edit and post that link?

I'm just gonna post it

https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/sorcerer/subclass/1137467/edit

crap, doesn't work

[honest furnace]

hey! im new to d&d in general and wanted to know more about it/how to even play it and any tips would be nice!

[whole tiger]

how?

[modest pelican]

That does work

[whole tiger]

it does? weird, doesn't seem to work for me

so what do I need to change? I tried to make sure everything is up with the guidelines, but it's still not able to be published

[wanton shard]

Sorry, was on a call. But yes, the link worked, I'll have a look through

[whole tiger]

np

[wanton shard]

Right off the bat I see a regular link to magic missile in the Void Magic Table, which will get caught by the automod at some point. You're better off tool-tipping that

[whole tiger]

so just get rid of the link?

[wanton shard]

You'll have to do that, yes. You also have Otiluke's resilient sphere attached, which is not a free spell. But as it is, this subclass doesn't adhere to the Homebrew Rules & Guidelines, because it's incomplete and doesn't have the proper features that are "advertised" in the subclass text.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

Your Void Spells feature doesn't at all match the spells you've attached to the subclass. The Void Magic Table is incomplete, it lists a d100 but only goes up to 20

Also, importantly: As mentioned previously, homebrew that is published with the global community should be properly proofread and play-tested. You don't need to publish homebrew for it to be shared with members of your campaigns

[whole tiger]

oh no the table is meant to be a d20 table, not like the wild magic one, also you're right I forgot to edit the spells attached in the subclasses description, but what do you mean incomplete?

I changed the spell thing and all the error messages are gone so I can share it now, so that's fixed

[wanton shard]

I was initially referring to the table, because I've only been skimming through. But writing style aside (this could benefit from proofreading and editing), the only thing attached to the subclass is spells. There is no functionality otherwise (Actions, etc.), there are no snippets for displaying things properly on the character sheet...

I'd recommend reading through some of the homebrew help articles like this one: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76031-demystifying-homebrew-updated-with-feats

There is also a brand new article detailing homebrew race creation, where many of the same instructions/tips apply: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1182-how-to-create-a-homebrew-race-using-d-d-beyond

[modest pelican]

Please do not publish this homebrew for the reasons Halfwing has mentioned

[whole tiger]

yeah I know, I wasn't planning on doing it immediately

[modest pelican]

You shouldn't do it until the homebrew is complete and play tested, per the homebrew rules and guidelines

[whole tiger]

I was just trying to figure out what was up with the error messages to see if I needed to change anything before playtesting it

also thanks a ton for the help

I appreciate it

[spiral ledge]

Hello collective! Does anyone know if I can transfer/copy a character from one account to another? A friend let me build on his account but I've since subscribed and can now free up that space on his account. Ideas?

[obtuse magnet]

Whenever I try to check my subscription on D&DBeyond, the page just says Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information). Is this an issue on my end? I have tried multiple browsers as well as logging out and back in and it still displays the same message. I'm trying to change my subscription from semi-annually to monthly, and my renew date is tomorrow. Could anybody help?

[naive lodge]

It's a known issue the team is looking into.

[obtuse magnet]

Is there a way to edit my subscription before it is renewed for the time being?

[naive lodge]

There is not currently.

[obtuse magnet]

Then is there a way to cancel my subscription before it is renewed, because I do not wish to be charged for another 6 months

[naive lodge]

Currently, there is not, no, it's still being looked into.

[obtuse magnet]

Could I possibly get it refunded when the page is fixed?

[naive lodge]

If it takes that long to fix, you would need to open a ticket with support at that time.

[uneven lantern]

Your friend would have to add that character to a campaign, then mark it as unclaimed. If they send you the invite link for that campaign, then you can claim that character and transfer it to your own account.

[spiral ledge]

So would I then have the character in a slot in MY account and he'd be free to delete it from his?

[uneven lantern]

It would exist only in yours, once you claim it.

[spiral ledge]

Brilliant thanks 👍

[olive cobalt]

Is there a way to override attunement restrictions on the digital character sheet for non-artificers in homebrew games? I want to say I've seen that somewhere before, but haven't seen it recently and it may have been an artificer only thing, I'm not sure...

I really dislike the attunement restrictions, it seems at the very least the number of attunements should go up when a character reaches the next tier, but I know DnDBeyond has nothing to do with D&D rules other than enforcement of...

It would be nice to have an attunement override capability in DDB if there's not one already in place though.

[edgy oriole]

Use the homebrew tools and copy the items you need and remove the attunement requirement. Don't publish your changes but you can now use the items (and share them in shared campaigns) without an attunement requirement.

[olive cobalt]

Oh yeah... nice work around. Thanks!

[rain forum]

You can increase attunement slots up to 6, regardless of your class. I think it can be set as part of a feat or subclass. That way you won't have to homebrew every magic item you plan to give your party, just give them a feat at certain levels.

[olive cobalt]

Ah… so like a custom Feat? I’ve done some cool stuff with those but don’t remember seeing attunement slots. I’ll check again. Thanks!

[rain forum]

Yep! Just go to Modifiers, then put in a particular number (up to 6) to "Set - Attunement Slots".

[little plume]

im on the dnd beyond website im looking for the "looking for campaign" thing but i cant find it where is it?

[wicked bloom]

so I'm trying to homebrew Serpent Scale Armor from Candlekeep, it's 14+full dex base is Scale Mail, but whenever I make it, no mater how I do it, it only does a normal Scale Male reguardless

[lapis geyser]

Changing the dex bonus field to Full modifier should do it. Just keep in mind it can take a while for homebrew edits to show up.

[wicked bloom]

nope

setting dex bonus full, or dex bonus none with a AC Modifier for Dex doesn't work either

[lapis geyser]

It works just fine for me, its 14 plus full dex mod

[lapis geyser]

That looks correct, make sure you hit save, and give it about 15 minutes to update

[wicked bloom]

it's been about a half an hour

[lapis geyser]

Ah add a modifier type set, subtype ac max dex modifier

fixed value some high number youkll never reach

[wicked bloom]

did that one too, it didn't work either

[lapis geyser]

best to ask over in #homebrew then, im out of ideas

all good thank you

[umbral torrent]

Hey

what does version do when making a magic item?

It lets you track what version of your homebrew you're on

[umbral torrent]

ok

so i play 5e

do i put that?

[lime gulch]

It's the version of the homebrew you're making.

[umbral torrent]

i don't know what version i use

[lime gulch]

Start with 1 and change it as necessary.

[umbral torrent]

ok

[uneven lantern]

This is your first version of this item.

If you make changes, you can update it to version 2.

[umbral torrent]

oh ok

Help

I made a homebrew class but it doesn’t show up in collections or anything

[modest pelican]

Do you mean subclass?

Because you can't make homebrew classes on D&D Beyond

Is it in your creations?

[hardy kernel]

i put the Lunar Magic UA subclass into dndbeyond through the homebrew tools, but it says that "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels." but it only gets features at 1st, 6th, 14th and 18th levels, which is when sorcerer gets subclass features. the only thing i can think of that could cause it is the whole once/day casting for subclass spells, cause that does give spells at different levels, but i don't see why it would do that if the feature it comes from is at 1st level. anyone know what's up?

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a link? You don't need to (and shouldn't) publish it

[hardy kernel]

i wasn't gonna publish it in the first place, i just want to make sure there are no errors

how do i link without publishing?

[uneven lantern]

Those errors only matter when publishing, and you can only publish your own original creations.

So feel free to just ignore those entirely.

It will get shared with your campaign automatically, regardless of those warnings.

[modest pelican]

Save the homebrew, then go to My Creations and click the homebrew so you see it's overview page. Then post that link

[wanton shard]

Have you also clicked the Save button from the main section as a final step? The automod only checks for these things when the entire homebrew piece has been saved, not when adding or saving features.

[desert heath]

Can rangers add the statblock for Primal Companion under Extras or is it only accessible under the feature description?

[modest pelican]

Only accessible under the feature description

[desert heath]

Ah. Ok. Good to know.

It does seem like it’d be easier to pull it up and manage under Extras, but thanks!

[modest pelican]

Due to how the stat block scales, it wouldn't display as accurately in extras

This is a known limitation of the character sheet

[desert heath]

Ahhh. I see

[random prism]

can i change my username on dnd beyond?

[modest pelican]

Yep, there's a thread on the bugs and support forum

It's pinned so should be at the top

[random prism]

ok thx

[bronze lantern]

Am I correct that DDB doesn't apply the bonus from Enhanced Arcane Focus Infusion when the infusion is equipped, or am I doing something incorrect?

Oh, it requires attunement

[subtle hatch]

I may be doing something wrong. When I add a magic item to my inventory and attune to it, the charges/spells/uses do not show up in the actions with a box of uses. Similar to class specific spells with the short/long rest reset. I seem to have to go into the inventory and open the item then check uses. Is this the way it is? Is there a way to have the attuned objects uses trackable in the actions tab?

[wanton shard]

That is a current limitation of the system, yes. Attuned objects cannot be tracked in the Actions tab at the moment.

If you only ever use the Actions tab and wish to streamline your sheet, you could talk with your DM about being allowed to represent an item's charges in a different way. For example, homebrewing a feat with the proper number of charges in an attached Action would allow that to be tracked in the Actions pane

[little plume]

Hey guys, I recently played around with the campaign feature and invited my character to my campaign. It worked well, the dice log worked, etc.
I deleted the campaign as it was not something I was actually going to be using, rather just familiarizing myself with the functionality.

Today I recommended it to my DM for playing over discord, as rolls and character sheets could be seen and such. He created an actual campaign and sent me the invite. But now my character does not show up on the list of characters available to join his campaign with. I feel like my character is locked to the campaign I deleted or something, but haven't found a way to free it up. Anyone know how I can fix this?

[nocturne wraith]

hey I'm having a problem joining a campaign on dndbeyond. I have the url but when i put it in i get the "your adventure will start soon" screen

[modest pelican]

Can you provide a screenshot of the screen?

[nocturne wraith]

the dm had it set where other ppl with tablets joined it last night just my tablet was dead

I'll pm you the campaign url

[modest pelican]

You're likely using the campaign link, not the invite link

The campaign URL won't let you join

[nocturne wraith]

oh ok. I'll get it fomr my dm later then thanks

[modest pelican]

You need the invite URL

[wanton shard]

Is the character there and just grayed out, or does it not show up at all? Provided the character hasn't been deleted in the meanwhile, one quick solution to try is to clear your site cache

[uneven timber]

So, does anyone know a reason why there is one player in my campaign that when they roll, their rolls don't show up in the game log until you refresh the log/campaign page, but everyone else shows up immediately? This happens in only one campaign out of two this player is in. His rolls don't show up for anyone until each person refreshes the game log individually.

[modest pelican]

Are they using an extension that could be interfering?

[uneven timber]

It happens even if I roll from their sheet

With no extensions enabled of any kind

Also I believe I just figured out why

[modest pelican]

Oh?

[uneven timber]

A special character in their character's name

[modest pelican]

Oh, that would make sense

[uneven timber]

I changed the name and it showed up in the log every roll

changed it back and it started doing it again

[modest pelican]

I'll pass this along

[uneven timber]

Seems to be the character ∅ specifically. I wouldn't assume this is common or a priority but it might help provide an answer to others in the future.

[raven latch]

Is there a way to limit homebrew sharing within campaigns? I've noticed that if my players have any homebrews added to their collection then it shows up for all players in the campaign. Gets really confusing for new players as they add things that they think are approved when they really aren't

[modest pelican]

Not currently, no

[raven latch]

Is that something that might be in the works?

[modest pelican]

Can't say, sorry

Ctrl+Shift+R is the universal hard refresh command on Chrome

[woven rain]

I've made a custom statblock for an adult crystal dragon NPC I'm using in my game, and it mentions a "Weaker Dungeon Homunculus", and that this NPC is too similar to it to share with the community. Now, I've looked everywhere and cannot find this creature being mentioned. I was wondering if anyone else knows what's up?

For the record: I'm not planning on sharing it with the community, I'm just really curious.

[uneven lantern]

There’s a known bug at the moment where in rare cases, that can get prompted by someone else’s homebrew. If you’re not publishing, though, you can safely ignore those warnings. Your private homebrew will be shared with your campaign automatically.

[hardy kernel]

is there a good way of allowing a race to choose two options from a list, instead of just one? like how orcs get to choose 2 skills from a list

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, by using Options. You’ll need to set up each choice as its own Option, and inside add any modifiers, spells, etc. that depend on that choice.

You’ll also need to set a field called Character Level Where Options Known. I’m betting you just want a “1” there (for a single choice at level 1).

[hardy kernel]

yeah, i know how options works. i just don’t know how to let a player choose 2 options from that list instead of just 1

[uneven lantern]

Ah! If it’s two choices at level 1, just put "1,1".

Or for choices at different levels, something like “1,5”.

[hardy kernel]

oh it’s that simple

[vale vapor]

So I made an fallen aasimar oathbreaker paladin rogue. 3 levels in paladin, 2 in rogue and I took the background rakdos cultist. I can access and prepare the extra spells from the background, but not the cantrips and I don't know why it's not working.

[dawn egret]

because you're a paladin, who doesn't get cantrips

if you take the Blessed Warrior fighting style, you'll be able to take the cantrips.

[vale vapor]

No, it still doesn't let me pick them

[dawn egret]

huh, would you look at that...

looks like you'll have to make homebrew copies of Fire Bolt and Vicious Mockery in the meantime to add them to the Cleric spell list to then pick them via Blessed Warrior

[vale vapor]

Yeah, my friend managed to work it out that it's cos paladins aren't able to get cantrips, other than blessed warrior. I would have to go arcane trickster to get access to them. Its alright, it's only for an one-shot. We just couldn't work out why I didn't have access to them

[safe atlas]

ah, got it, thanks 😄

Is there any way for me to hide the race of one of my players from the others in the same campaign?

[frigid parcel]

We trying to play game on D&D Beyond, but form some reason we don't see rolls. Any idea why this is the case?

refreshing page work, but refreshing page each time after roll will be pain hehe

[modest pelican]

Some trouble shooting:

1. Important one Do you have any extensions installed that modify D&D Beyond? (such as Beyond20 or AboveVTT)
2. Do you have digital dice enabled?
3. Is every character sheet in the same campaign?
4. Do any of the characters have special characters in their names?

[frigid parcel]

Yes - Above VTT
Yes - I have Digital Dice
Yes - All are in same campaign, we see character roll but instead roll it show ...
No

[modest pelican]

Disabling AboveVTT would be the first and must obvious thing to check; third party extensions are not supported by D&D Beyond and can cause unexpected behaviour

We are having some problems with a campaign we are trying to set up - one of our friends started a campaign (he has an active subscription) and turned content sharing on, but one player was trying to join and didn't have the option to create a new Character. He managed to join with an old character, but then wasn't able to create a character using the Content Sharing feature (he only had the basic and free content that comes with DND Beyond)

Is there a special setting somewhere we are missing? We have used content sharing in the past with my account and active subscription with no issues, but he wasn't able to join a new campaign I created as a test either (and he had a character slot available)

[naive panther]

I apologize if this is the wrong spot to ask. I am having issues getting a magic item to do what I would like. I want to replace the damage dealt with unarmed strikes to 1d4 instead of 1, I would also like to add an attack for 2d6 force damage which also doesn't appear when I put the item on a PC. This is on a wonderous item as it's a helm not a weapon, would that make a difference?

[uneven lantern]

If he goes to this page, does it say that his account entitlements are in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[uneven lantern]

For the first, try adding a modifier with…
Type: “Natural Weapon”
Subtype: “Bludgeoning”
Dice Count: “1”
Die Type: “d4”

For the second, though, magic items don’t currently allow you to add an Action (i.e. an attack). I’d suggest adding it directly on the character sheet by going to the Actions tab and hitting the “Manage Custom” button in the top right corner.

[naive panther]

hmm, I tried that already. I'll try it on a character that already had natural weapons, see if that makes a difference.

[naive panther]

that's unfortunate

[uneven lantern]

That’s how Aaracokra was set up, at least. If that’s what you did already, then there’s a chance that modifier might not work with magic items either.

[past burrow]

Is there are a way to access the encounter builder/combat tracker via the app? Was hoping to be able to run a game off my iPad with owlbear rodeo and the Ddb app split screen to be able to access everything

[wanton tundra]

I have what I hope is a quick question about a pedestrian monster the "Giant Centipede". I remember playing 3e and before and having a Giant Centipede with multiple hit dice (think like 5d6) and yet this one is pretty easy to defeat despite its name. Is there a different name for a more challenging creature that is of "large" or "medium" size (or is the dm just supposed to grow the 1D6+1 giant centipede by adding hit dice)? I'm particularly confused because of the large stature centipede miniature(s) that are available to paint -- this is no 1D6+1 Centipede that towers over . Anyone want to shed some light on this, what am I missing?

[uneven lantern]

Not in the app, but a mobile browser should work.

[uneven lantern]

That’s a better question for #dm-discussion. (You’ll need the DM role from #880965682462875679 before you’ll see it.)

This channel is for technical help regarding DDB itself — not the game in general.

Trying to join a campaign link and my newest made character doesnt show up in the available options to add when getting to the join page

nvm i made a copy and i can add the copy??? weird

I have a player that is trying to join my campaign, but it doesn't let him join with his character

[sly thicket]

Hey I'm trying to access my subscriptions tab and I can't acess it, I keep getting the Application error message. Any help would be appricated

[modest pelican]

That's a known issue that the team is aware of

That's great to hear.

That's a question for #dnd-rules — this channel is for help with D&D Beyond

[keen knoll]

I have a game in 45 minutes buy my Master Tier subscription ran out. When I try to resubscribe I get

[modest pelican]

There is a known issue with the subscription portal, the Devs are aware

[keen knoll]

no current work around?

[modest pelican]

Not for something like this, no

[keen knoll]

okay thanks

[little plume]

So I have a question about personality traits on the character creator. Is there a way to have a custom personality, because it looks to me like you can only choose from the option tables.

[lime gulch]

Those are input fields. Write whatever you want.

[modest pelican]

You can enter custom traits on the character sheet once you've made your character

[little plume]

ok thanks

[ripe crescent]

I was trying to add weapon proficiencies as a req for a feat but could only select armor types. Does anyone know if this this a bug, or a feature thats still being developed, or I am missing something here?

[wanton shard]

Typically only when something has been officially implemented is it available to use in the homebrew tools (as those are essentially the same tools used to build official content). There are no current feats that have weapon proficiencies as pre-requisites

[ripe crescent]

interesting, i had never noticed that there were no feats that req'd weapon proficiencies. i somewhat assumed feats like Corssbow Expert or Shield Master would, but they do not. thank you for your response

[cedar fulcrum]

Hey guys, first time DDB user. I'm in someone's campaign, they have all official books & shared them with me, yet I can't select Hexblade as my patron while building my character. Can anyone help with this?

[modest pelican]

Are you building the character within the campaign?

[cedar fulcrum]

Very good question. How do I find out?

Ok it seems he is not in the campaign. How can I add him to it?

[modest pelican]

You will need the invite link from the DM, go to that link and select the option to make a new character

[cedar fulcrum]

I can't import an existing character?

[modest pelican]

You can do that from the same screen

[west wind]

hey does anybody know if dndbeyond does sales on St Patrick's Day ?

[edgy oriole]

If they do have a sale, it will be announced on the website and on their social networks. I can't speak to whether DDB has offered a sale on St. Patricks Day in the past.

[west wind]

okay cuz I was planning on buying some sourcebooks for me and my friends so I'm debating whether or not I should wait and see if there's a sale

[ripe crescent]

if you give them the link, it will give them the opportunity to make a new character or use an existing one.

[brazen hawk]

Im making a character that has both feystep racial trait and fey touched feat, so I have both feystep and misty step. My dm has allowed me to use both spells, so ive been trying to add a limited use action for misty step (once per LR) since both feystep and misty step wont show up by default

is it possible to do this?

i cant figure it out

A thread i found online said there should be a reset type box with options but i cant find it

[arctic needle]

ANyone else notice that when you take a long rest, it says you only get 1 spell slot back?

[lucid knot]

So the great old one is from the player's handbook correct? then why isn't it in the list of subclasses I can choose from? This is the same for circle of the moon druid and entertainer background.

[dawn egret]

because it isn't Basic Rules.

if you don't own the PHB on Beyond, you don't get access to what isn't in the Basic Rules.

[lime gulch]

Do you own the PHB on DDB?

[lucid knot]

That would make sense if it would show up when people shared their books with me.

[dawn egret]

is the character being built in a campaign with the share on?

[lucid knot]

Yes

[lime gulch]

Are you in a campaign that shares it? Check with your guide that PHB is on.

[lucid knot]

It is they have every book

[lime gulch]

But did they turn it on for sharing?

[lucid knot]

Yes

[dawn egret]

that doesn't matter. you can't not share the content, only stop compendium share

[lime gulch]

Screenshot the character box from your My Characters screen.

[lucid knot]

Nvm it's just a shitty glitch

[uneven lantern]

You can only add limited use through homebrew. You need to give it an Action first, which is where you’ll select the Reset Type. Then save it and edit it again to find the Limited Use section at the bottom.

[uneven lantern]

It should show however many slots you’ve used. If you’ve only used one, that would be correct.

Finishing a long rest restores any expended spell slots.

Ooohhh I see ok!

Thanks

[brazen hawk]

Sweet thanks!

[rough pendant]

How many people can I share my content with?

[modest pelican]

12 per campaign, 5 campaigns currently

[cosmic jasper]

How do I gain access to DM Discussion?

[wanton shard]

Head over to #880965682462875679 and react to the first post to give yourself the appropriate role

[cosmic jasper]

Since I've been invited into a campaign on D&D Beyond, the DM has privileged me with many sourcebooks. I didn't need to pay for these. What is this sharing feature called?

[modest pelican]

Content sharing

[cosmic jasper]

Because he gave me access to these sourcebooks, if I make my own campaign and invite others there, can I share his books with my players? Like a twofold trickle down.

[modest pelican]

No, someone in your campaign needs to own them

Books can't be reshared

[cosmic jasper]

So me or one my players would need to have purchased the sourcebook on D&D Beyond, okay, understood. They can only be shared once.

[modest pelican]

Yes. You also don't need to tag me in every reply 😜

[cosmic jasper]

Okay 😅

[rough pendant]

I am looking to pre-order the Call of the Netherdeep and I have the Sourcebook bundle, shouldn't I get a discount for it?

[modest pelican]

No, because it's an adventure book, not a sourcebook

[rough pendant]

https://gyazo.com/6479cbe400dd47819ffc6259938f82b2

From what D&DBeyond says, it's a sourcebook

[modest pelican]

All books are classed as 'sourcebooks' in the cart, as opposed to map packs and digital dice

However, it is an adventure

[rough pendant]

Ah, that will be where my confusion is coming from. Cheers Davyd 👍

[modest pelican]

No worries

Glad to help

[rough pendant]

Do we know how much it will be to buy just the equipment, monsters and NPCs to use in character builder and the like?

[uneven lantern]

Those prices likely won’t be visible until the book is released.

[rough pendant]

okay thanks!

[floral echo]

While making a homebrew subclass, can you change class feature feature type after you create it?

And what does that matter to the outcome of the subclass?

[floral echo]

I see now, you can't change it, and the matter is it doesn't show up if it is Additional, only if it is Granted

[eternal fog]

is there a way to create mundane weapons yet, or a way to change the base stat for a martial weapon?

[little plume]

So question if a book is shared with me, can it be used on any character or just the one that it is being shared for?

[solar shard]

Looking for help: I have subscription/ account issue where a missed charge has resulted in my account locked out and I'm unable to put in payment information or cancel my subscription so I can start a new subscription.

[vapid quarry]

A player of mine is trying to join my campaign, but it doesn't let him create a new character, or join with a new character he has made

Also, anytime I try to look at the my subscription tab, I get this "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."

[final trellis]

Subscription issues - there is a current issue we have the team investigating regarding users get the client-side error. We don't have any ETA, if your subscription is still running you should be okay, if it is crucial that you need info from this page, please raise a support ticket, however the team is under the pump right now and we have a sizeable backlog that we need to get through first (Sorry my fault, I had to go and have covid last week and was knocked out for three days).

[uneven lantern]

Additional and Replacement are both for optional class features (so the player has to first opt in). Only Granted are given to them by default.

[uneven lantern]

It’s usually easier to create custom actions and custom items directly on the character sheet. Go to Actions > Manage Custom, or to Inventory > Manage Inventory > Add Custom Item.

[eternal fog]

Thanks I'll try that

[uneven lantern]

It’s available for any character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing that content.

[uneven lantern]

A new character can’t be created if the user doesn’t have an available character slot (non-subscribers can create up to 6).

Existing characters can’t be added if they’re already assigned to another campaign.

[tawny osprey]

I'm having issues adding a second character to the campaign I'm in... DM sends me the link, but the 2nd char doesnt show up on the list

I have unlimited char creation... but no clue how to bring her in to the danged campaign

any help is appreciated

[brazen hawk]

How come I only get champion as an option?

Shouldnt battle master and eldritch knight be there as well

Is it because I dont own a source book

[final trellis]

Champion is the free option from the Basic Rules. You need to purchase the subclasses or the PHB to have all the PHB options

[brazen hawk]

Sweet ok, I was drafting up a character for the first time outside of my DMs campaign, so I wasnt sure if i did something wrong

[muted ferry]

One of my players apparently can't join my campaign?

[modest pelican]

What error are they getting?

[muted ferry]

apparently he can't see that character, only another character he has which is in another campaign

[modest pelican]

If he can't see the character, that might mean it's incomplete

[muted ferry]

hmm, I can't see anything that's obvious from his sheet https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/SuedeOnion/characters/69842702. Although under the characters name it doesn't show that he's a life cleric despite having life cleric as is domain under features&traits

[modest pelican]

@muted ferry By any chance is this player using any extensions that modify D&D Beyond?

[muted ferry]

So told him to have a nose to make sure his character is complete and he replied with
I'm not sure thats the case because it does not even show up - when I create a new character that is completely blank it does show up

There's extensions that modify DNDB? I'll ask him to disable any that might be doing stuff but I doubt that's it if a blank character shows up

Problem resolved 😄
He copied his character and it let him add it to the campaign 😕

[modest pelican]

We had a user in #ddb-feedback who was having similar issues with being unable to add a character to the campaign, but it was caused by an extension

[final trellis]

There appears to be an issue, but until the devs have had a chance to investigate, its a wait until its resolved - alternately recreate the character from scratch, sometimes a fresh character is not impacted.

[spring ember]

Hello, is anyone else having issues with digital dice on iOS 15.4? The dice animation is leaving a trail in Safari and the dice are not showing up at all in the app.

Is 15.4 a current version, and is it a version supported by your device?

[spring ember]

It was released yesterday and yes, it’s supported

I am also noticing the issue on iPad (15.4) and the iPad app as well.

[hoary cairn]

My subscription didn't renew because my old debit card was cancelled. Now it won't let me purchase a new subscription, it just loops back to the cancel subscription page. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

@hoary cairn The post I linked to just above yours addresses it.

[hoary cairn]

Oh. So I can't subscribe then. That sucks.

Thanks! I appreciate the assist!

[modest pelican]

You can submit a customer service ticket, but there's no guarantee that they can help right now

[hoary cairn]

I mean, should I have to jump through hoops to give them my money? Seems like that would be a top priority issue for most businesses.

Oh snap, and it's been an issue for at least a week. Good lord.

[modest pelican]

The team is working to resolve the issue. Yes, D&D Beyond wants your money, but only if we can accept it in a safe and secure fashion

[halcyon plover]

Think their is a scam bot in general no spoilers

[worthy crag]

Is there a way to add Dark Gifts to a character through Beyond?

[modest pelican]

Not natively, but you can use feats as a work around

[quasi karma]

How do you access homebrew races in the creator

[modest pelican]

Support is planned as part of the general features system

[worthy crag]

Thanks 👍

[modest pelican]

You need to ensure the race is in your collection and you have homebrew content turned on

[covert hawk]

Since about 20 minutes ago. If I press the "GameLog" button inside an encounter, nothing happens

[crisp spindle]

I am having issues. I want my friend to join my campaign but it keeps telling them to join with an existing character, rather than letting them create an unassigned character.

[uncut moat]

hey all, is it ok to ask DnD Beyond questions here?

[uneven lantern]

Ask away!

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, not working for me, either. What browser/device are you using?

[covert hawk]

tried both chrome and firefox

[uneven lantern]

On what kind of device?

[covert hawk]

my friends are also having the same issue. Could this be related to a recent update ?

windows 10 pc

[uneven lantern]

I’m about to go find out. Thanks! 👍

[covert hawk]

great 🙂

[uncut moat]

I recently got "Summon Shadow Spawn" spell on my character and wondered if it's possible to add the creature summoned under my "extras" tab

is it possible?

[uneven lantern]

In the meantime, you should be able to open it with this button in the bottom right corner.

[covert hawk]

I know.. thank you.. but for some hard to explain reason that button is important to me 🙂

[uneven lantern]

The extras tab doesn’t natively support those newer summon statblocks yet, but if you create a homebrew monster and manually apply the calculations, then you can add it.

[uneven lantern]

Does your friend have an available character slot? Users without a subscription can create up to six characters.

[crisp spindle]

We got it fixed, I figured this would have been the issue,

[uncut moat]

I found this one: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/1992999-shadowspawn

[uneven lantern]

That seems to be a private homebrew (and should remain as such).

[uncut moat]

weird, it's working now

[uncut moat]

explain?

[wanton shard]

That is copyrighted content and should never have been published for public use. The Homebrew Rules & Guidelines include this (and other) information regarding homebrew publishing: https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew-rules-guidelines

[crisp spindle]

How would I go about removing accidentally published content? :)

[wanton shard]

Publishing homebrew is permanent it cannot be unpublished, unless it violates the Homebrew Rules & Guidelines. The process of publishing includes a confirmation window with a link to these rules, which explicitly state that this is the case. If you need to redesign it, then it is better to use the Create New Version button in the top right corner of the homebrew details page. Creating a new version will allow you to update the homebrew and the old version will no longer appear in the public homebrew listings. People who have added the old version to their collections will continue to be allowed to use it, but they won't be able to add it after the update.

[crisp spindle]

Thank you ^^

[uneven lantern]

If you’re asking because it was copyrighted content, there’s a Report button on the homebrew page. You can flag it for violating copyright, and the moderator team will remove it.

[uncut moat]

well it's gone now

😦

[edgy oriole]

official material should not be copied and made public - but if you have the book you can recreate official material for personal use but you should not publish it or make it public

[uncut moat]

I don't understand. If I've purchased Tasha's source material, why wouldn't I be able to have the extra added

I'm willing to make it myself, I guess but I've never done that

is there a good tutorial available?

[edgy oriole]

Oh yeah - you can use the book (digital or physical) to create the thing

I don't know of any good tutorials off the top of my head though

[wanton shard]

How to homebrew a monster article: https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1140-tutorial-how-to-homebrew-monsters-on-d-d-beyond
And an explanation of homebrew fields and what they mean: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/76031-demystifying-homebrew-updated-with-feats

[uneven lantern]

These newer statblocks work differently than the summons that came before, so the Extras tab simply doesn’t support them yet in a way that’s consistent with the rules.

Several of the new features and spells present Monster Statblocks which scale with your character. This includes spells that summon other creatures. The system to handle these creatures is still under development but we have included inline stat blocks wherever possible to help you reference the stats you need.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/87774-tashas-cauldron-of-everything-issues-and-support

Shadow spawn in particular has several stats that depend on the level at which the spell was cast. The extras tab can’t yet read in that information.

But you are perfectly welcome to homebrew your own solution using that copyrighted content, so long as it remains in your private collection and not published to the global community. Your private homebrew is shared with your campaign automatically.

And if you get stuck, we’re happy to answer any questions, too. 👍🏻

[uncut moat]

I have a friend that has put made a Dragonwing bow homebrew which should add 1d6 damage in one of MANY damage types, but when they roll it, it rolls 1d6 for ALL possible damage types, which while being funny has heck, would be better if it rolled 1d6. Suggestions?

[edgy oriole]

Probably easiest to have a base damage for the item and then create a custom action/attack on the front end of the sheet to roll the 1d6 of an appropriate damage type.

Or just have the player announce ahead of time what kind of damage they are doing.

[violet pilot]

Has anyone put Matt Mercers subclasses into dndbeyond homebrew? I’d very much like to use them in dndbeyond but i’m well aware the new tal’dorei book will not be added

[spare timber]

When I place a monster sheet in the snippet section, how do I make it appear as a monster stat block in the character sheet in descriptions.

I'm not sure you can. For the classes and subclasses that do that, I believe it's hard coded

[calm narwhal]

Not sure if this is supposed to say "Undefined" here

[modest pelican]

Where are you seeing that?

Specifically is that in the compendium, the listing, or the app?

The Brass Greatwyrm page is displaying it correctly for me

Not currently, no

[modest pelican]

Nothing has been publicly mentioned that I'm aware of, but it's still in beta

[wispy aspen]

When I roll from my character sheet it is shared with the folks in my campaign. At least I think it is? I swear I've seen other folks rolls.

[edgy oriole]

Yes character's rolls in a campaign will (unless set up to be private) be shared with everyone else in the campaign via the Campaign's Dice Roll log.

[modest pelican]

You can see the rolls, but not the combat tracker itself

yeah, i need the name not anything in brackets

[rough pendant]

Indeed, but happens with any of the stuff from the book, even using different parts of their names

[final trellis]

(and also need to remember which test profile I jsut assigned the product lciense to so i can replicate)

[rough pendant]

Essentially it's any monster or item from the book

[final trellis]

Okay, my test account with the same individual products licenses, then searching for Ayo and tapping one of the entries under mosnter listings is prompting the downlaod of the book for me

[rough pendant]

Okay that second image is appalling quality, apologies

[final trellis]

are you getting the monsters to actually show in the listings?

[rough pendant]

No

[final trellis]

okay, then thats not a permission issue, have you got the app up to date?

[rough pendant]

Says the last update was on the 4th, says there is no new version available

[final trellis]

When you go to the library tab, can you screen shot (just at the top, no need to scroll down)

[final trellis]

Hmmm, that matches the last pushed out update. Its like it isn't picking up that there is new book content. If you dont mind redownloading other content my best suggestion is clear app data, uninstall and reinstall because the only other thing I can think to retrigger a manifest pull is when the team push an update, which I have no idea when will occur (outside of the next book launch)

[rough pendant]

Sure I'll give that a shot

[rough pendant]

Hey that did it! Only in listing but it seems to have worked!

[final trellis]

The listing is the way to access individual purchases, so thats good - after searching under say monster listings and tapping one of the monster stat blocks, it should prompt to download, the CotN source - from there accessing all the monsters/magic items via listings should be search tap and you're in

[rough pendant]

So it does, many thanks

^ @uneven lantern just so you know also 🙂

[final trellis]

Spammed should hopefully be asleep right now, but I've also tagged internally where discussion with the mobile team was happening earlier today, so will see my follow up

[rough pendant]

@final trellis another issue now sadly

I have access to some items, but not all

[uneven lantern]

That's correct for a 6th-level bard, as shown on the bard table.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/bard#TheBardTable

[sleek viper]

ahhhhh so "Character level" does not equal "spell level" .... got it

thanks!

[uneven lantern]

Yeah, the max spell level is 9, but max character level is 20. Some characters only get up to 5th-level slots, and some don't get any at all. Definitely not a 1:1 match with character level.

I'm attempting to embed an image into a post I'm making on the dndbeyond website, but none of the recommended methods are working. I tried the advice in this thread -- adding a .jpg to the end of my image's URL -- but still no luck. Here's the thread with what seems the most relevant advice. Can anyone help sort me?

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/57917-adding-photos-in-a-message-thread

My comment is the last in the thread if that helps at all.

[modest pelican]

@worn hedge

1. You've linked to the gallery URL of the image, not the image itself
2. Also please be careful about the appropriateness of the content you post, both for content and spoilers
   I've replied to the post with this information

[worn hedge]

Is that picture inappropriate to post?

[worn hedge]

It's not from the official module, so it's not inappropriate from a spoiler-sense. Please let me know if the content itself is inappropriate as I obviously don't wish to post anything problematic.

[modest pelican]

The art may not be, but the file name could be spoilery. Also it's pretty graphic

Just something to keep in mind, especially when posting in general threads such as that one

[worn hedge]

The file name is only relevant for my version of the module. It has nothing to do with the official Rime module, so it's in no way a risk to spoil anything.

The image itself is not meant for a general post, it's meant for an ad for my campaign which begins with a murder mystery. So is this picture too graphic to post in that context?

[modest pelican]

I was just giving you a heads up, that's all. Something to keep in mind

[worn hedge]

Thanks.

[hoary cairn]

Still haven't fixed the subscription payment issue, I see. Guess they don't want my money after all.

@modest pelican oh I see now. Users can't cancel their subscription either, found some new posts on the forums. That's straight up fraud, I smell a lawsuit incoming. Good luck with that.

[modest pelican]

@hoary cairn the team is acutely aware of the importance of resolving the issue, so I'm not sure what you expect me to say or do?

I get that you may be personally frustrated with the situation, I understand that. But taking that frustration out on a moderator is neither fair nor going to expedite a resolution for the issue

[hoary cairn]

You personally? Pass on the complaints to the people in charge. To someone that can actually get it fixed. Communication is key.

[modest pelican]

The issue is already with the people that can fix it. It's a matter of time

Fixes sometimes do not come instantly

[hoary cairn]

And there are no other avenues for said communication, SINCE YOU TOLD EVERYONE TO STOP SUBMITTING TICKETS.

[modest pelican]

there is no need for caps. Regardless of your understandable frustration, server rules still expect users to conduct themselves respectfully

I didn't say don't submit a ticket, I said you can but there was no guarantee of immediate response

[hoary cairn]

Mhmm. Well, the users expect you and the company you represent to respect them. And I don't see how allowing a bug (that costs people money) to continue is in any way respectful.

[modest pelican]

However, if you need to cancel your subscription and can't, I would still recommend entering a ticket. That way it will be logged when you started having the problem

[modest pelican]

No one is allowing the bug to persist.

[hoary cairn]

The bug persists on the website owned by the company. Ergo, it is allowed.

[naive lodge]

They're currently looking for a Senior DevOps Engineer: https://about.fandom.com/careers I'm sure there are other positions too.

[hoary cairn]

You don't seriously expect anyone to believe that the bug would take more than a week to fix?

[modest pelican]

That's not how software development and bug fixing works. The team is working fastidiously to resolve the issue

[modest pelican]

Yes, I do, because that is how long serious bugs can take to resolve

[hoary cairn]

I'm sure that is what they told you, and that's what you believe. But I believe you are wrong, and that you are being given false info.

Again, good luck with the lawsuit when you cost people money.

[modest pelican]

If you require further assistance on this matter, entering a support ticket would be the next step. No further discussion here seems necessary

ProStashio - CotN & Mobile App

[dapper geode]

So, I have a small issue with the DDB app, I still don't have CotN available, app is up to date as far as I can tell, I've tried logging out and back in, and I've refreshed the apps cache, any idea what I could try to maybe get it to appear? 🤷🏻‍♂️ ... Or have I missed an update somewhere as to why it might not be there yet 😅

[uneven lantern]

Android or iOS? What’s your app version?

[little raft]

My DM has a sub but I can’t access any races except phb and elemental evil ones. I’m also the only person in the campaign with this problem

I have the same issue with spells

I even tried making a new account and it didn’t help

[uneven lantern]

Is your character assigned to the campaign that’s sharing that content?

[little raft]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

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

[little raft]

Yes

[uneven lantern]

Is there a specific race you’re trying to find?

[unborn nest]

Hi, I have a question about homebrew weapons. Basing it off a handaxe, I added the desired damage in the Modifier section. Once I equip it to a character, the dice roll under Damage is of the base weapons, and the damage I entered into the Modifier only shows up under Notes.

Is there a way to replace the base weapon's roll?

[solid kestrel]

No, the damage die is locked as is, but you can change the type.

[modest pelican]

If you want to create a custom weapon, you're best off making a custom action directly on the character sheet

[unborn nest]

Thank you, that's a nice workaround. Is creating a homebrew weapon WITHOUT basing it on a base weapon be possible in the near future?

[modest pelican]

Can't say I'm afraid

[unborn nest]

At the very least, being able to affect the base weapon's default damage roll would be incredibly helpful, since creating a custom action doesn't take a few important aspects into account, such as weight, freehand, and attunement to name a few.

[dapper geode]

Apologies for not responding to the reply to my question

My app is Android version 2.7.1

Are you able to change network and try again?

[outer lintel]

I'll try that.

Huh.
For some reason that worked.

Thank you anyway though for answering and being ready to help.

[naive lodge]

That would probably indicate that it's a local issue with your network, or possibly with your network at large.

my friend is having trouble seeing my shared content in the character builder

[granite stirrup]

Question, when printing the pdf version of character sheet,, is there any way of making the grey portions darker when printing? They seem very faint compared to what they show up on my screen.

[violet vortex]

That might be a printer setting

[uneven lantern]

Adjusting the contrast should do it, specifically.

[granite stirrup]

Hmm...now to figure that bit out lol

[spare timber]

How do you set limited use for features?

[uneven lantern]

Add an Action first. Make sure you set the Reset Type. Then save it and edit it again to find the Limited Use section at the bottom.

[spare timber]

Thx

Good morning !
Is there a way to duplicate an homebrew monster ? I can't seem to find it

[lime gulch]

You currently can't copy or start a new homebrew from an existing one.

[dawn egret]

unless it's a homebrew you yourself created.

[north cave]

It is one i created. How do I do that ?

[modest pelican]

If you made it and it's in your creations, it should appear in the menu for selecting a template

[north cave]

Somehow it didn't work yesterday and now it does ! But thank you anyway ^^

[dawn egret]

when in doubt, blame caching.

Hey I’ve been having trouble with managing the optional spells from Tasha’s and was wondering if anyone here could help me out. I have the PHB, XGtE, and TCoE but for some reason whenever I enable the optional feature for spells on my character sheets the optional spells don’t show up in the spell list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[edgy oriole]

I don't believe everything is fully functional yet - see #ddb-support message

[crystal hawk]

hey im unable to log into my account using the google option, not sure why

its the only option that doesnt work, but its also the only method i have of logging in wuyefiwfe

So some things to check: disable all browser extensions, make sure the browser allows 3rd party cookies, make sure browser allows pop ups for DnDBeyond, and don’t use a VPN when logging in.

oh shit youre a god, and im a monke. tyy

How do I set the damage for a spell, which increases by spell level

[eternal coral]

Hi, a friend of mine has been having trouble adding a feat to his character sheet and has asked for help but I’ve been unable to figure this out.

He’s just hit level 4 and wants a feat but when selected, it only brings up two feats. Grappler and Firearm specialist.
I sent him a link to my campaign so he has access to the content on there and he’s added his character to it. But it still only comes up with the two feats.
He’s tried on mobile via app and browser and also his laptop.

When I go in to edit his character through my campaign, I have access to all the feats. But for some reason he doesn’t.

Any ideas and advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙂

[uneven lantern]

For a homebrew spell? Hard to say without knowing the specifics of the spell itself. If you know an official spell that does what you want, you can make a homebrew copy and see how that was set up.

[spare timber]

Ok thx

[uneven lantern]

Assuming Content Sharing is enabled for that campaign, and someone else in the campaign owns those feats, I’d suggest having him check this page to see if his account entitlements are in sync.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[eternal coral]

Thank you, I’ll pass it over

[mellow ginkgo]

Question about Master tier - it says I can share content owned by all players in a campaign if it has content sharing on - does this mean a campaign I have created, or a campaign I have joined?

[golden kite]

one you have created

[mellow ginkgo]

shucks

[rigid cypress]

Hi, I need some help if anyone knows how to fix it. I purchased Player's handbook and a master subscription on DnD beyond. I created a campaign, enabled content sharing, but still... my players still don't have access to new features from player's handbook. They can still only choose, grappler feat, while I can choose between everything. What im doing wrong? PLease help!

[modest pelican]

@mellow ginkgo you can enable content sharing in any campaign you're a part of, either as DM or player

The DM will still have control over what compendium content is shared

[modest pelican]

Are they making their characters in the campaign with sharing enabled, or already have their characters in there?

[rigid cypress]

Yes, they are. And they have characters in there

I created a character, which my friend claimed, but still when he leveled it up, it still didn't show any new feats, while I had access to all of them on my end

[modest pelican]

Also might be worth checking entitlements are in sync (both you and the players)

[rigid cypress]

Don't really understand what you mean by that

[modest pelican]

Sorry, go here https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace and if you or your players see a 'Sync Entitlements' bottom, click that

[rigid cypress]

"Your entitlements data is in sync! You should have nothing to worry about"

same on my friends end

[mellow ginkgo]

So to clarify, if I am part of Campaign A - my friend has shared all his content with us, he is Master Tier - and I upgrade to Master Tier myself - then I create a campaign of my own, Campaign B - does Campaign B have access to all the content from Campaign A?

[rigid cypress]

My friend doesn't own player's handbook btw @modest pelican Davyd

[modest pelican]

Ah, so nothing to be shared in the first place?

[modest pelican]

No, you can't reshare shared content

[rigid cypress]

I own players handbook Davyd, I purchased it today, so I shared it with my players, and everything looks correct. My friend checked an old campaign he joined before, he tried to create a new character there, and he had access to all feats and stuff, but not in my campaign

[modest pelican]

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood.

[rigid cypress]

From no where, now it works, haven't changed ANYTHING, I guess there was a problem with the homepage or something, thanks for your help!

[reef prawn]

whats a site that is used for online dnsd

dnd*

that lets you be in a group

hello, i am having issues submitting my homebrew to the web page.

[past burrow]

I just wanted to double check, we're allowed to download the maps in purchased books for use in vtts, etc. for sessions, right?

[modest pelican]

You are indeed allowed to download them for personal use, yes

[crystal saffron]

What does the green phone symbol mean on the characters page in the mobile app?

[modest pelican]

I believe it means your character data on the phone is in sync with the website

[knotty wind]

@modest pelican how do I do that?...cause I got some stuff shared from a friend (mostly sources and adventures) and I'm having a hard time e trying to find a download button on the shared stuff

[violet vortex]

Is anybody else having a hard time with dice rolls on their character sheets? Mine are not rolling cleanly at all.

[hidden osprey]

I just got hit with the "All your characters are in read only mode" bug on my main system. I open my laptop, everything's fine.

All campaigns, no dice :(

Tried the usual, Logging out, logging back in, going to my collection - My characters -> Pick the character . I can edit or manipulate the character, and view all the data, just on my main system, the website and the browser are being rude and arguing.

Same browser(Latest Chrome) no adblock / popup on DNDbeyond's site.

[sinful zealot]

So im trying to create an encounter on DDB but everytime i try to add the Goblin boss it says i dont have the Monster Manual but i do so im confused

[violet vortex]

[sinful zealot]

yes

[twin drift]

Question, has there been a feat called prehensile tail? I would have sworn there was one, but I cannot find one...

[hidden osprey]

I see it in a few people's homebrew content.

https://twitter.com/jeremyecrawford/status/694949841059774465

Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford)

A tiefling's tail isn't considered a limb; it's not prehensile. #DnD https://t.co/XEtyHr4ZqL

[twin drift]

Alright I must have had a homebrew feat in my list at one point or something and thought it wasn't homebrew...I'm insane. Smh Thank you @hidden osprey !

[violet vortex]

I think it was a pretty broken popular homebrew that showed up on Reddit

[bronze owl]

hey so i'm using a homebrew subclass but the information is appearing wrong in the character sheet?

[uneven lantern]

Have you tried another browser on your main system? Or Chrome’s Incognito mode?

[uneven lantern]

If you go to this page, does it show a checkmark next to that monster?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/sourcebooks/monster-manual

[uneven lantern]

“Wrong” how?

[night phoenix]

is there a way to swap the damage type on a magic wepon?

[hidden osprey]

I had ti go into each character and re-enable digital dice rolling.

[uncut basin]

Interesting issue with the online character. I own Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything and when I look at Mythic Odysseys of Theros, it has the check-mark for "Already owned" on College of Eloquence (bard). However, when I select the dropdown (app & website), College of Eloquence is not an option after I'm level 3. Am I required to own both books even though it is marked as "Already owned"?

[lilac dirge]

What's the difference between granted and additional feature for creating subclass features?

[modest pelican]

Do you have Magic: The Gathering content enabled? Sources are categorised based on the first book they were published in (with the exception of artificer)

[uneven lantern]

Granted features are given to the player automatically. Additional (and Replacement) are optional features like those from Tasha’s, where the player has to opt in before they’re added.

[uncut basin]

oof... good catch and thank you for your time!

[sinful zealot]

no

[uneven lantern]

Then you haven’t purchased that monster.

[prime quiver]

so...I've had some errors today. Never really happened before.

b550d8b4059c4e398e59389a7cf956b8

[uneven lantern]

Don’t think anyone here can look up error codes.

What were you doing when the error occurred? Did it give you an error message? Do you get the same result in another browser, or on another device?

[prime quiver]

fair sorry. It was when I was trying to edit/level up a character, it just buffered, "nope'd" and gave me the error code. It seems to be fine now, will try another browser next time if it happens again. I was on Chrome.

[spare timber]

How do I set up a half caster subclass. I saw the option, but it doesn't seem to work or I'm missing something

[uneven lantern]

For what class?

[spare timber]

Fighter

[uneven lantern]

On the main screen for your subclass, you need to set “Can Cast Spells” to “Yes”. Make sure you set “Spell Casting Ability” as well.

Then you need to give it a class feature called “Spellcasting” (or “Pact Magic”) to give it spell slots. It will follow the same progression as an Eldritch Knight.

…which in hindsight isn’t a half caster, but that’s the only option, I’m afraid.

[spare timber]

Oh kl

[little plume]

Why can’t I download the new Call of the Netherdeep book onto the DDB app? It says I own it on the marketplace page, but doesn’t appear when I open the app.

[muted hornet]

Does anyone know if it is possible to add a feature to a subclass that works as a counter tracker thing. Some way to track a certain amount of something.

[stiff fractal]

hi i was clearing my email and i think i unsubsribed from the email for all the goodies and stuff is there a way to resubsribe i like the gifts a

its causing cliant isues when i check my subscribtions im not sure what to do

[knotty wind]

Ok soo my friend and I are doing the content sharing thing and I did thus on the app. So I wanted to download load them on the app, but it might screw with my space so I try to do it on website, but I can't find a download button or anything that could help me. How do you do this?

[solid kestrel]

you can't download things you don't own, if I'm processing that right. You can only view them.

[knotty wind]

Then how come I can do it on my app

[solid kestrel]

the website doesn't let you download at all
;-;

[knotty wind]

I just can't find a way to do it

[solid kestrel]

what specifically are you trying to do?
who is sharing?

[knotty wind]

Like I went to sources and checked the stuff and all I could do was look at the art stuff and preface.

I'm try to use these books for my character

Is a screen shot ok to show here?

Like did I miss something?

[solid kestrel]

so someone else is sharing with you?
yeah, I don't think you can download in the app via that.
I think you need to own the stuff to download it

[knotty wind]

@solid kestrel can I show you a screen shot?

[solid kestrel]

you can post images in this channel

IIRC

[knotty wind]

Sure

See what I'm saying @solid kestrel

I checked the website for a library, but it didn't have one

[solid kestrel]

I don't follow

[modest pelican]

@knotty wind you only download content on the app. On the website it's all accessed online

There is no download option for the website

[knotty wind]

I got to download them on the app, but I can't do it on the website....I also don't own these there shared content

Oh ok......I should let my lad know this

[modest pelican]

You have never been able to download from the website

And you don't have to download on the app. It's optional

[knotty wind]

I checked where to do it, but I couldn't find it....do I go to market place and just try to buy only for it to say download it or something

I'm sorry if I'm bothering you about this I'm new to this stuff and just want to dnd and ect.

[modest pelican]

@knotty wind if you're trying to access the shared books, you do it via sources in the main menu

[stiff fractal]

as lonng as you are part of a campagin that is sharing content you can read them on the app which is really good for somepeople who cant afford the books

[knotty wind]

@modest pelican so how do I know that i have them will it like say something like "ownd" or show some color or just being there means I own it?

Also thanks for helping a guy out

[modest pelican]

If you click a source you don't own or are having shared, you will be directed to the market place instead

[knotty wind]

Oh ok

Thanks man

Christ if that's the case I think I (or in this case he the guy that's sharing this) owns all of them

Oh I see since it's my one character that's shared only he can have these I get it.

[stiff fractal]

also if you have a book and somone activeates shared content even with no books your book will be shared

[knotty wind]

Yeah I'm starting to realize it

[stiff fractal]

check shared content youll see whos sharing what

[knotty wind]

Cause he send me a link to join fir books and stuff and I thought I got free books for my account....as it turns out it's only for my character that joined.

That could get those things if I download them

[stiff fractal]

they would have to buy the books for you lol

[modest pelican]

Now that the root issue has been resolved, this isn't really the place for further discussions

[knotty wind]

My bad thanks anyway

[modest pelican]

S'all good, just wanna keep the channel clear for anyone else with problems

[stiff fractal]

@modest pelican i unsubsribed from the noreply dnd beyond on my email and its casuing ises like cliant crashs when i check my subscriptions on dnd beyond and i cant figure out hoe to resub to the email so i can get my gifts and stuff

quick question can small cretures use the one size larger rules or are they all counted as heavy wepons for them ?

[solid kestrel]

this channel is for help with the DDB website, which is separate to the game rules

topics to channels, head on up to #dnd-rules and it's all good

[stiff fractal]

sorry i thought iwas in that chat for a second

[solid kestrel]

it happens a lot, I've done it too, no worries

[uneven lantern]

Yep. Add an Action to your class feature first. Make sure to give it a Reset Type, then save it and edit it again. You'll then see the Limited Use section at the bottom.

[muted hornet]

thank you

[formal surge]

Getting a 403 error when I try to access one of my Campaigns. One of my players reports the same

Anyone know what that may be about?

I have a master tier sub if that is relevant

[naive lodge]

Does the campaign have a name, and are all the characters in it complete?

[formal surge]

Yes and yes. Been making use of the campaign for months without issue. Recently one of my players let his sub lapse and his sheet has been inaccessible, could that be related?

By recently I mean weeks though, so this would be the first time it caused such an issue

Ope, just checked and the same error for all my campaigns.

[candid finch]

I just got hit with the same error for all of my campaigns as well.

[rare fable]

oh

you guys having the same problem?

i was making pc charecters for new players and i got hit with the same error

[candid finch]

Prep work interference

[uneven lantern]

Doing the same on my end.

I'll go poke the kobolds.

Have the same issue as above, can't access any of my campaigns

[little plume]

hey i can't make a new character

[naive lodge]

Still no news to report.

[oak cliff]

@uneven lantern I am also having issues with my Campaigns, i cant access any of them.

[kindred bobcat]

I can no longer access my compaigns either

[naive lodge]

We're awaiting the devs to update us on this.

[kindred bobcat]

somebody feed the devs...quick!

[naive lodge]

Given the issue, they are likely all being called away from any food to help triage.

[little plume]

can someone help me?

my character page just gets this

when i try create a character

[naive lodge]

Likely it's related to the campaign issue, please have some patience.

[little plume]

oh okie

[uneven lantern]

The devs are already investigating.

[kindred bobcat]

i have every faith that the devs are already working on a solution

[little plume]

oh its back

nevermind ty

[kindred bobcat]

see? now let the poor devs eat for goodness sakes

as for us, we are going back to our campaign, 2nd breakfast already in progress

[formal surge]

Looks good now, ty!

[oak cliff]

Yeah im back in too, thank you!

[rare fable]

ayo it works

hell yeah! ty devs

[naive lodge]

The fix should be implemented, please let us know if you continue to experience any issue.

[drifting compass]

can confirm all good now thanks for the update!

[cosmic jasper]

How do I erase all custom changes from my character?

[uneven lantern]

Typically you need to open the customization again and just delete the changes you made.

[cosmic jasper]

Is there a mass "delete all custom changes" option?

[uneven lantern]

No

[slate vapor]

I got a racial question: I created a Minotaur… do they wear armor? I’m able to buy it, but when I equip it, my AC doesn’t change

[modest pelican]

What type of armor?

And what class is your character?

You could be equipping armor that gives you the same result or worse than the AC you already have

@slate vapor can you provide a link to the character sheet?

[slate vapor]

Yeah, gimme a sec

https://ddb.ac/characters/56979202/T4J6l8

[modest pelican]

Yeah, it's because your ring mail gives a fixed AC of 14, which is the same as your characters unarmored AC of 10 + Dex (+4)

[slate vapor]

so, if were to get plate armor, then it will increase? i can't remember the rating for ring mail vs plate

[modest pelican]

If the AC of the armor was greater than 14, yes

[calm atlas]

Hello, is the DDB site down? I keep getting an error when trying to log on.

[uneven lantern]

Working for me.

What kind of error, though? Do you have the same problem in another browser, or on another device?

[slate vapor]

@modest pelican thanks

[calm atlas]

Getting a bar that runs across the top of the screen saying: Error retrieving user information

[calm atlas]

Using Windows 10 and Chrome. Looks like the app is working on my iPhone, so it might just be my computer.

[calm atlas]

Look like I'm good after updating Chrome. 👍

[leaden kraken]

Something wack is going on with my armor class, any help? https://ddb.ac/characters/70415370/tLa0du

[uneven lantern]

Try unselecting your Fighting Style, refresh the page, then set it again.

Although… it does show correctly for me.

So maybe you’ve got something else interfering.

[leaden kraken]

Not sure what it was, but removing my class then adding it again seemed to work. Thanks I guess 😅

[uneven lantern]

Yep. Removing the class would have removed the fighting style.

[little plume]

Call of the Netherdeep isn’t showing up on my app, and my marketplace is synced. Can someone help?

[naive lodge]

Pulled you into a thread.

[lethal berry]

what's hex weapon?

[solid kestrel]

the Hexblade's Hex Warrior feature.

[abstract ridge]

Alright I need a bit of help.
I’m just finishing up my first island for a hombrew campaign I’m making and I have to make an Autosales shop and a mechanic I already have a sleezy autosales and I need another one that’s different and stands out and mechanic I need especially.
Could anyone help thx (and you do get creditors in my campaign I have a thanks to (names here) on it).

[modest pelican]

You've got the wrong channel I'm afraid. This channel is for getting help using the D&D Beyond site and tools. You want #dm-discussion

If you can't see that channel

?changes

[loud sedge]

We've made some changes!

Don't worry, your favorite channels aren't gone! We have changed our server somewhat, and there are some channels that are now only available to certain roles. Head over to #880965682462875679 to grab yours!

[abstract ridge]

Oh my bad I’m sorry

[modest pelican]

S'all good, no harm, no foul

[halcyon plover]

Trying to look at the page for the new adventure book brings about 403 forbidden error for some reason

[violet vortex]

It’s probably in the process of updating

[uneven lantern]

Which page specifically?

[halcyon plover]

The page you would normally see telling about the book and tell you it’s date to drop and pre order price

[uneven lantern]

So… this one?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/marketplace/adventures/journeys-through-the-radiant-citadel

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

[leaden kraken]

Quick question: is there any functionally yet for adding creatures from find steed in the extras tab? As in, can I bump their intelligence and give them a language?

[modest pelican]

You would need to make a homebrew copy of the steed and add that copy to extras under mounts

[leaden kraken]

Thanks

[halcyon plover]

ok its working on computer browser that or thepage is working now

[somber dragon]

I feel a little dumb rightnow, i purchased specifically the monsters from Fizban's, but i cannot, for the life of me, find out where to look at them

iv tried google searches, braved reddit, and tried the help section

i've probably missed something really simple

[uneven lantern]

Go to Game Rules > Monsters.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters

[somber dragon]

Thanks!

[uneven lantern]

You can open the advanced filters there and use the Sources box to limit the results to just that book, if you want.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters?filter-source=81

[somber dragon]

awesome

[lilac dirge]

I can't seem to add a Greatsword to my equipment. Is it because my character isn't proficienct in them?

[uneven lantern]

You should be able to add it regardless. Do you have any filters set, like Proficient, though? That would hide any weapons you aren’t proficient in.

[lilac dirge]

that's probably it, thanks

[solid mirage]

can someone please tell me why DDB isn't giving me the option to pick the "Skulker" feat even though I purchased it months ago and this character I'm working on has 16 dex?

I could choose it 10 minutes ago, but I changed some things around and now I can't

[edgy oriole]

No idea but perhaps logging out and clearing your browser cache and then logging back in might fix it if it’s a caching issue.

[solid mirage]

how do i clear the browser cache?

i haven't had to do that in a long time

i figured it out

it didn't work

[edgy oriole]

Hmmm. Can you check your DDB user profile and see if your entitlements are in sync?

If they are not there should be a button on the page to sync them.

I got to bow out but others here can assist further.

[solid mirage]

entitlements?

[edgy oriole]

It’s basically DDB checking what you should have access to -and sometimes they can get out of sync.

Anyhow I got to go - best of luck!

[solid mirage]

ty

I figured it out

[pine crystal]

how do you disable the virtual dice?

[naive lodge]

You can click manage > character settings > and disable "Dice Rolling" it's also found on the Home tab when editing a character.

[pine crystal]

That disables the feature, I just want to remove the virtual dice because it has a super large amount of lag on it and delays the actual roll itself

[dawn egret]

It's a physics simulation to roll the dice. there is no option for no animation.

the animation is generating the roll

[pine crystal]

That's unfortunate

Oh well, after using it once in real time my DM said I'm exempt from needing to use the virtual dice. Just thought I'd explore to see if it's possible to fix the delay

[naive lodge]

Try to toggle hardware acceleration in your browser settings.

[pine crystal]

That's ok, I'd rather not tinker with the browser itself when everything else functions fine. Just wanted to explore if there was something within the website itself.

Thanks for the suggestions though

[eternal fog]

wanting to share content for a campaign for the first time. Is it possible for me to share my content but not be dm of the campaign?

[uneven lantern]

Yep! Anyone with a Master Tier subscription can enable content sharing for a campaign.

[eternal fog]

awesome

[uneven lantern]

Then once it’s enabled, everyone’s books get shared with everyone else.

[eternal fog]

do modules get shared as well? or just creation options and monsters and such

[uneven lantern]

Yes, they do.

[eternal fog]

k, will have to trust everyone then 😄

[uneven lantern]

The DM has the option to disable reading any of those, though (except for those who own it outright).

[eternal fog]

awesome

thats a great option

[uneven lantern]

They’ll see a “Content Management” button at the top of the campaign page and can use that to turn books on or off.

Only for reading — the character options will still be available regardless.

[naive lodge]

Our advice beyond trying to determine if you had a different account such as a separate Google or Twitch account would be to open a tick with customer support.

[uneven lantern]

Is it the app or the website where you can’t access those? Or both?

[onyx peak]

Both

No books other than basic rules elemental evil curse of strahd and frozen sick

[uneven lantern]

Does it show those books you purchased here?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace

[onyx peak]

Pardon me while I bang my head repeatedly

What in the actual....

Sigh

Of course I'm an idiot

So somehow

I was logged into my twitch on the app and the website logged me into google

And since I know I have a twitch I just tried logging in through twitch and voila

Sorry yall. Tha ks

[uneven lantern]

No worries! Glad you got it working.

Customer support can probably get those both linked to the same DDB account, if you wanted.

[radiant monolith]

were can i find the monthly perks on ddb

https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/news-announcements/107245-news-announcing-subscriber-perks-march-perks Here is the thread announcing the perks each month

[radiant monolith]

cheers

[violet vortex]

The new dragon turtles (age variants) and sea serpents from FToD don’t seem to be have environments attached to them on the monster search page and it made me realize that a lot of monsters don’t have environments to them. Is there any particular reason why that’s the case?

[modest pelican]

Environments tags are only added when defined by a book

[violet vortex]

Hm. I was afraid so.

Thanks!

[modest pelican]

Specifically DMG, MM and XGTE

[violet vortex]

Kind of annoying, but it is what it is I guess. Makes sense too since not everything might be as clear as sea serpents and dragon turtles.

[edgy oriole]

Desert dragon turtle seems like a cool idea... hmmm.

[final trellis]

And by linked you of course mean delete the account with no purchases so the end user can then associate the additional login method on their remaining account 😛

[uneven lantern]

Of course. Otherwise I would have sent them to the page where they could do it themself. 😉

[torpid hornet]

In the spells tab on the character sheet what is the difference between the "modifier" bonus and the "spell attack" bonus

[uneven lantern]

“Modifier” is your int, wis, or cha modifier, depending on your class.

“Spell Attack” is that same number plus your proficiency bonus.

[sinful zealot]

Hey i have a player whos a barbarian, and his unarmored defense says 13 but it should be 15 is this a bug?

wait nevermind i was adding the wrong thing sorry

[drifting compass]

looks like the 403 issue is back again? unable to access my campaigns on dnd beyond currently

nope back again strange

[sacred dune]

Preeetty sure I know the answer, buuut figured why not ask just to be sure, but there's no way to change one's DDB account name, is there?

[modest pelican]

There is

This thread https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/65846-display-name-change-request-thread-v2?page=462#c9231

[sacred dune]

Thanks. Back when I first signed up, I somehow managed to make a character name as my account name, and I've basically lived with it ever since.

[primal nacelle]

Is there any active feedback thread regarding the search engine? I'm getting increasingly frustrated by seeing links to books that I don't have unlocked when I search.

[edgy oriole]

Search is a known thing that the devs would like to improve but feel free to leave any additional feedback notes in #ddb-feedback - I believe the mods actively roll through that channel and collect the feedback to send back to DnDBeyond (I may be wrong on the particulars)

[modest pelican]

The team is aware of the need for improvements to the search engine, it's been mentioned several times on the Dev update

And I believe there are several threads here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/d-d-beyond-feedback

[primal nacelle]

Thanks. I can see that my wish for a "Owned Content" slider in the Global Searsh has already been brought up. Exuperius seems to have adressed it most recently yesterday

[lilac pollen]

I've seen that exhaustion can be tracked in Conditions on the character sheet, but it doesn't seem to apply to the dice roller? Is there a problem?
