“Janky” how? Do you get the same problem in another browser or on another device?

#

I’d switch the Base Item Type to “Wondrous Item” and then set Magic Item Type to “Ring”.

Hello all. Our DM is letting us choose an uncommon item for our next adventure. This will take place in the sword coast. Have a level 5 halfelf fighter. Any suggestions on a good uncommon item?

I’d suggest asking in #character-discussion. (This channel is for technical help with D&D Beyond itself.)

So I'm making a race with a natural fixed AC of 17 and if you were to add a level in Barbarian, it adds the unarmored bonus to the natural ac, how would I prevent that from happening

I have been having loading issues with the D&D beyond app for Android. In fact, the app won't load at all, it seems. It's stuck on the "Updating Sources" loading screen. Before you ask, yes the app is fully updated. I tried to force quit the app as well.

You can download them again?

Which considering it appears you can't currently access them, would be no net loss?

modest pelican
#

If your sources are in a corrupted state and failing to load into the update flow, it may be your only option

#

As it stands, with you unable to load the app at all, there's no way to access any of the settings to fresh your manifest

How does one grant expertise to a save in a class feature? I was browsing the forums and saw that it wasn’t possible, and instead you had to add a bonus of proficiency bonus in the homebrew editor, but i checked the character sheet and there is an option to customize a save to have expertise

#

I’m asking this because i tried to change it into expertise but the change wouldn’t go through, despite it being an option

uneven lantern
#

Choose “Expertise” as the Modifier Type instead.

#

Or “Twice Proficiency”, depending on your specific needs here.

uneven lantern
ebon minnow
#

and it didn’t do anything

#

then i went onto the forums and did the “Bonus - Consitution saving throws” and checked add PB

uneven lantern
#

You probably want Twice Proficiency if it's for a saving throw.

ebon minnow
#

and that’s separate from expertise?

uneven lantern
#

Expertise expects you to choose a skill:

At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies.

#

I don't believe there's a way to let them choose a resistance, though -- not as a magic item, anyway.

#

But you can manually add the resistance to your sheet as needed.

ebon minnow
uneven lantern
#

Your best option, then, would be to try and find an official feature that does that. Then you can make a homebrew copy and see how that was set up.

#

I can't think of any of the top of my head, though. I think they more commonly give advantage on saves rather than doubling your proficiency bonus.

Hello. I have a question about purchasing individual spells on D&D Beyond. If I purchase a summoning spell, do I also have to own the stat block for the summoned creature to effectively make use of it?

The summon spells do not have separate stat blocks, the stat blocks are part of the spell text

I tried that, but it doesn't let me select any invocations. It just says "No Choice Made". Maybe i'm doing it wrong though.

Could someone define for me what exactly a favored enemy is. I mean, yeah. It sounds like it's a kind of creature you're really good at fighting. However, some of the descriptions of it and some stuff I heard from others makes it sound like not only would you be good at fighting this kind of creature, but you also deeply understand them, know how to identify them, can more easily talk to them, and maybe even more easily befriend them. Can someone explain this to me please?

Last night and other times we have players rolling for initiative and it's coming up as a check instead what could be the issue?

initiative rolls are a check, they are affected by skill boosts like jack of all trades. but you also may need to clarify what you are rolling on (i.e. app, website, etc.)

Does anyone know how to add homebrew subclasses on to my dnd beyond character sheet. it's not one i made I'm trying to use someone else's can somebody help me.

lime gulch
#

You need a subscription to use someone else's homebrew.

lament mauve
#

I have the hero subscription

#

I've added the homebrew to my collection I just need to know how to add it to my character

lime gulch
#

Did you turn on homebrew in the character builder's home tab?

lament mauve
#

Yes

lime gulch
#

Which subclass? Link?

uneven lantern
#

Adding it to your collection and enabling Homebrew Content for that character should be enough.

lament mauve
#

Monk way of the geisha

uneven lantern
#

If you just barely added it, it might be a caching issue. If that’s the case, it should fix itself within 15 minutes or so.

lament mauve
#

Ok thank you

lime gulch
#

That might be it. I just tested it myself and it works.

lament mauve
#

I go down to the drop down menu and it says I have no optional features

#

It says I have to create them or buy them

#

It's still not working

lime gulch
#

What do you mean by optional features?

lament mauve
#

It says optional feature manager

#

Is that not how I add the subclass

#

This is my first time doing this

lime gulch
#

If you can screenshot and mark what you mean, that'll help.

uneven lantern
#

Optional Feature Manager has nothing to do with subclasses.

lime gulch
#

Monk Subclass activates at level 3.

uneven lantern
#

You’ll always select your subclass under Class Features. For Druids, I think that happens at level 2.

lament mauve
#

Ohhhhh

#

I'm so stupid

#

Thank you for telling me

Optional Feature Manager is for the optional class features from Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything.

You can filter by sources, so if you select just the sources that aren't adventures, that'll remove all those NPCs

So I wanted to give it "Focus points" similarly to "Ki points" for Monks

Would be crazy if a lvl 3 Samurai just parries thrice and counters thrice because those moves don't share Focus points

I feel kinda stupid asking this, but I'm trying to create a weapon based on the Pistol, Automatic weapon on DnDByeond by using the Homebrew Magical Item
But I'm a little confused on how to edit the weapons damage, range, and stuff....
Anyone know how to help?

uneven lantern
#

You probably need a Modifier with Type: Set, Subtype: Strength Score, Fixed Value: (whatever number it should be set to).

#

Note that homebrew edits can sometimes take up to 15 minutes before they show up on your character sheet, too.

uneven lantern
valid sonnet
uneven lantern
#

Ultimately, changing weapon damage is very limited limited in the homebrew system. You can’t change the die size, for example.

#

If you’re adding a secondary damage type, that’s doable, though. You could make a homebrew copy of Flametongue or something if you want to see how that’s done.

#

And I don’t think you can change the range at all.

valid sonnet
#

That's pretty frustrating

forest glacier
uneven lantern
#

Hate to say it, but if that's the case, it may be that this specific modifier simply doesn't work for races.

#

There's no official race that uses it, at the very least.

forest glacier
#

Yeah it isn’t something I would do. Is it worth highlighting for it to be looked into or nah?

uneven lantern
#

I could submit it as feedback, but usually specific homebrew requests don't get very high priority -- especially when there's a workaround like setting it manually.

#

Generally speaking, the system is built to facilitate the official rules. When you try to step too far beyond what's been done officially, it just doesn't always work.

#

But the long term goal of the General Features System they're currently working is to eventually replace the current homebrew system, I believe.

#

Hopefully that will give some greater flexibility for cases like this, but that won't be any time soon.

#

Your best option in the meantime would be to just override the score directly on their character sheet, or see if you can pair it with a homebrew feat or magic item.

forest glacier
#

Yeah that’s fine. It isn’t something that can’t be worked around as we can just set an override score in sheets

#

Yeah

#

Hello All! I hope this is the correct place to ask, if not I'd appreciate directions to the correct place.
I am building a character for a friend's new champaign, but I keep finding spells from a champaign I just left popping up. I'm not familiar enough to tell which are vanilla options and which were from the old champaign. is there a way to remove or filter this kinda stuff, or am I just gonna have to read through each spell description to tell the difference?

Thanks very much for your time and any advice y'all are able to offer!

uneven lantern
#

Are these official spells or homebrew ones?

solid kestrel
green oasis
#

I think they may be homebrew, The old champaign was in the Witcher universe. but the current champaign also uses seperate homebrew spells, so I can't just turn off all homebrew stuff.

Example spell that shouldn't be there:

Aard
Cantrip
EvocationCantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range/Area: 10ft./10ft.
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Attack/Save: STR
Version: 1.0

Casting Time: 1 Action
Range: 10ft Cone
Components: V, S
Duration: Instantaneous
Damage: 1d8 Force Damage

You thrust out your hand and push a wall of force out in front of you. All creatures and objects in a 10ft cone must make a Str saving throw. On a fail they take 1d8 Force damage and are knocked prone, on a success they take 1d8 damage and remain standing.

The Aard sign is a simple magical sign used by witchers. A directed blast of telekinetic energy that staggers opponents, leaving them open for a subsequent attack. "This sign casts a directed wave of telekinetic energy that can stagger or knock down opponents, leaving them open for attack. Aard can also blow out any existing fires, blast open poorly secured doors, or punch through cracked or damaged walls or floors.

solid kestrel
#

Definitely homebrew.
Homebrew content automatically shares when in a campaign with one-another, IIRC.

uneven lantern
#

If that homebrew is in your My Homebrew Collection, it will be available for all your characters (and shared with all your campaigns). Removing it from your collection will stop it from showing.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-collection

#

If it's not in your collection, then it must belong to someone in whatever campaign your character is assigned to. You'd have to speak with your group to find out who.

#

hi all, i need some help, i'm trying to create a magic item that adds +1 psychic damage to spell attacks. bur i can't seem to make the modifier aply

uneven lantern
#

Not sure that one's possible. What modifier are you currently using?

cold venture
#

damage psychic fixed value 1

uneven lantern
#

That's probably only going to work for magic weapons, and only for the damage from that weapon.

#

I think Bonus - Spell Attacks applies only to the attack roll, not the damage, but you could give it a try.

cold venture
#

yeah only the attack role :/ already added that to the item

uneven lantern
#

If you can find an official item that works similarly, you'd be able to make a homebrew copy of it and see how that was set up.

But I'm not aware of any off the top of my head...

Shield Master feat:
You use shields not just for protection but also for offense. You gain the follow ing benefits while you are wielding a shield:

• If you take the Attack action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to try to shove a creature within 5 feet of you with your shield.
• If you aren’t incapacitated, you can add your shield’s AC bonus to any Dexterity saving throw you make against a spell or other harmful effect that targets only you.
• If you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you can use your reaction to take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, interposing your shield between yourself and the source of the effect.

does the third bullet point only apply in cases where the second bullet point applies? Basically can you apply the 3rd point to AoE spells?

With the 'Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse' it says we will recieve 250 monsters, but are they all just redesigned to remove the lore or do we get any new? If so how many are we looking at, as I am curious on if it's worth getting.

1 new monster, the dolphin delighter

#

The rest are redesigned in various ways

And consolidated into a single book, as opposed to being spread between Volo’s Guide to Monsters and Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes.

So aside from the defect with Dragon's Wrath Weapons still only showing the longsword / greatsword variants, I found an issue where as long as the weapon's bonus damage is only set to "additional" it doesn't actually show the bonus damage in attack rolls on the sheet manager. The bonus damage only pops up if you homebrew a copy and switch the damage type to match the intended breath. Is there a better place to report that, or is this it?

# grim finch So aside from the defect with Dragon's Wrath Weapons still only showing the long...

Neither of these are defects - the Support thread calls out that we created the weapon as specific weapons as otherwise there would be 200+ weapon variants added which causes clutter - its easy to create a homebrew version using it as a template and change the weapon type.

As for the damage dice - no weapon/spell/effect/trait on the sheet has multiple damage rolls. That's something that is still being developed with improvements to Digital Dice. So something like a Frostbrand which does additional 1d6 cold damage doesn't have a rollable button for it - you would use the manual dice roller for additional rolls (or use custom actions if you want something on the sheet).

The issue is related to cookies, so without clearing them it wont be resolved. The cache is to then ensure that nothing old is pulled up and images are downloaded. That is why the instructions are cookies AND cache. Not just clearing the cache.

We don't enter VC to discuss issues. It's more effective to share the issue here

#

If needs be, we can make a thread, but have a text record of the issue make passing it on the appropriate team orders of magnitude easier

ebon minnow
#

That’s fair, i just thought it would be harder to explain in text format. But here’s my best attempt regardless

What i am attempting to do is to have a class feature, that grants things at 3rd level, then gives a choice between two different options at 7th level at the same time it grants a different choice

#

at 17th level it grants another feature but that is unrelated to the problem

#

here is how it is set up

modest pelican
#

So this is a problem using the homebrew tools, not an issue with the character builder?

ebon minnow
#

Im getting to it

modest pelican
#

Can you link to the homebrew you're attempting to set up?

ebon minnow
#

Can i if its not published?

modest pelican
#

Forum mods can access it

ebon minnow
#

where do i link to then

modest pelican
#

That works

ebon minnow
#

alright

#

Moving on, when going to the character builder, a few key strange things happen

#

First off, it gives you an option to select between the three features, instead of granting the third and giving an option between the first two

unknown.png
#

If i select one of the first two, the character sheet has that class feature showing up in the character page, but not the granted feature, in this case being "Express Will"

#

Now, this is where everything goes to shit

#

If i go back, and select the "Express Will" option, the character sheet has a sort of "mini-crash" and clears my selection, asking me to pick again

#

i select one of the first two options, compile the character, everythign is peachy

modest pelican
#

Yeah, this isn't a bug with the character builder, this is just you trying to do something the homebrew tools don't quite support combined with a feature likely not being set up correctly

ebon minnow
#

If i go back, and do it again, well then this happens

modest pelican
#

The option selection system you're trying to create isn't natively supported in the homebrew tools, at least not via the way you're attempting

ebon minnow
#

any one of the charges I use affects the topmost box of all the other sections, while the others remain unclickable

How do I make Custom Origins work for unpublished homebrew races?

uneven lantern
#

You can make a homebrew copy of any of the official races if you want to see how those were set up.

#

But the short answer is that you need to add a Racial Feature with a Feature Type of either "Additional" or "Replacement".

little plume
#

Thanks for the tip. I am trying to figure it out right now.

#

The copy of the Elf race shows "Granted" being the Feature Type though.

uneven lantern
#

As more complete example:

  • Add a racial feature called "Ability Score Increase" with a Feature Type of "Granted". This is what the player gets by default, so you'd give it the necessary Modifiers (i.e. "Strength +2").
  • Add another racial feature called "Origin Ability Score Increase". Set the Feature Type to "Replacement", and select the first Ability Score Increase feature as the replacement. Give the new feature the new Modifiers needed (i.e. "Choose an ability score +2").
#

Worth noting, though, that official races nowadays are designed with those Custom Origin choices as the default, rather than an option.

You can't add/remove extras through the app yet, but you can view them

You have to add/remove them through the site

Can i do that throught the mobile browser?

Yep

tawny comet

Ok thank you verymuch for the help

oak forum
#

my dice wont roll on my pc tower but on the app and my laptop it works what do i do?

modest pelican
#

Do you have hardware acceleration enabled on your browser?

oak forum
#

it worked just the other day

#

but how do i check that?

modest pelican
#

It will depend on your browser, google "Enable hardware acceleration on [browser name]"

oak forum
#

is it in settings or on the browser?

modest pelican
#

It's a browser setting

#

It's not a D&D Beyond setting

oak forum
#

i just did that still doesnt work

There appears to be a reliably reproduced API error when attempting to select the same weapon twice in the "any two simple weapons" entry when selecting Starting Equipment for an Artificer

oak forum
#

google chrome

modest pelican
#

Same as what you're using on your laptop?

oak forum
#

yup

modest pelican
#

Then this sounds like a hardware or software issue on your end rather than a DDB issue and I'm not sure, beyond checking the settings are the same between your machines, there's anything further that I can suggest

oak forum
#

its the same on them

edgy oriole
#

Are you using any browser extensions? These can interfere with normal DnDBeyond functionality.

modest pelican
#

Again, this sounds like a hardware or software issue at your end if everything else you've said is accurate

#

We can't really help with that

oak forum
#

i only got chrome installed and i cant find any reason why it wouldn't work

edgy oriole
#

Well here are several things to double-check:

  1. Making sure dice rolling is enabled for the character
  2. Making sure hardware acceleration is turned on for the browser(s) being used
  3. Disabling any browser extensions (ad blockers, Beyond20, etc.) and any VPNs that may effect DnDBeyond's normal functionality.
#

I'd also suggest checking your browser's web console to see if there are any error messages - that can provide DnDBeyond developers more information if there actually is an issue.

oak forum
#

how do i open the console?

edgy oriole
#

Depends on your system and browser but typically it's F12 in Chrome.

oak forum
#

this is what pops up

Interesting - 400 errors are "bad request" errors meaning your browser made a bad request to the server and the server is responding "I can't do that Dave"

Okay so I'm pretty stupid (just starting out as a dm for a few friends) and I was playing around with the encounter tool to learn how it is used, I noticed that whenever I rolled an attack for a monster the combat log noted that it was "to: self" is there any way for a monster to 'target' a pc or even another monster or do I have to manually input damage to pc/monster?

solid kestrel
#

that was sending the result to you

#

it means that it doesn't show up on the logs for all

wooden thorn
#

ah, I see

#

so I have to input the results myself on the pc sheet after?

solid kestrel
#

yeah manually reducing HP indeed

wooden thorn
#

okay, thanks for the help

uneven lantern
#

The other option is “To: Everyone”, which will allow the whole group to see the result.

#

You can change the default there at the top of the Game Log, or change it per roll by right clicking or long pressing on the roll box.

lone silo
#

posted this in homebrew, but I feel it may actually belong here given that its a query on how to use the actual features, so will repost here:

hey guys! I want to make multiple choice option on my dndbeyond homebrew race that you either have:

  • 1 to DEX and 1 to CHA
  • 2 to DEX
  • 2 to CHA

I know how to make it so that you may choose either DEX or CHA and give it a fixed value of +2, but how do I make the option where it gives +1 to both DEX and CHA?

uneven lantern
#

You'll need Options for that.

#

Just set up each of those choices as its own Option (with the necessary Modifiers -- that first choice will need two).

#

Then find a box in your racial feature called "Character Levels Where Options Known" and put a 1 there (to give them one choice at level 1).

lone silo
#

thank you!

true socket
#

I just made a homebrew weapon, but it is not showing up when I search for it in the inventory screen. Not sure what i'm doing wrong.

modest pelican
#

Have you enabled homebrew content on your character sheet?

true socket
#

Yeah. My other homebrew creations do show up.

modest pelican
#

Is the item in your homebrew collection?

true socket
#

It is.

modest pelican
#

Then it may be a caching issue between the the homebrew server and the character sheet server. I can take a little while for some things to update

true socket
#

Ah! Fair enough.

#

hey guys, homebrewing an item, and I'd like to tag the bard class ability Psychic Blades. What tag do I use for that? Isn't [spell], [skill], or [rule].

wintry dune
#

So Feat or Feature.

tired sapphire
#

ah, didnt even know that tag was a thing, thank you!

wintry dune
#

Don't even know if it's a tag tbh, just know that its a feature

tired sapphire
#

yeah, not a tag

#

just tried

wintry dune
#

What are you trying to homebrew?

tired sapphire
#

not a big deal to not have the tag, was just curious about how to do it

solid kestrel
#

what do you mean 'tag' the bard subclass feature, when talking about making a magic item?

#

Those two things couldn't be less related

tired sapphire
#

because it has a very limited application, and I give an example of its use in the description, the example being Psychic Blades

wintry dune
#

But there is no way you could tag Psychic Blades specifically

tired sapphire
#

it's fine

uneven lantern
#

If so, I'm afraid there aren't tooltips for specific class/subclass features.

tired sapphire
#

yes, those are what I meant, and oh well, bummer 🙂

I'd personally allow for it to function as a handaxe, but yes. That's a DM fiat.

I have no idea how manual managing of hp works. im a level 10 wizard and i have just been overriding scores

unknown.png
#

it just said that my rolled hp was 10 somehow

#

for manual, does it roll it internally or something?

final trellis
#

Rolled should be an ongoing total of what was rolled

iron mesa
#

so that goes under hp modifier

#

instead of override hp is what you are saying

final trellis
#

At level 1 it would be 6 (max roll of level 1). Then at level 2 if you rolled 4 on a d6 you then change to 10 (6+4). Level 3 you might have rolled a 2 so you change it to 12, and so on.

#

no - the Rolled HP is the only one you change each time you level up. HP modifier is a separate element.

iron mesa
#

what about constitution bonus

final trellis
#

It automatically adds

iron mesa
#

so theoretically what should I have

final trellis
#

(if you remove the override you can test that yourself)

iron mesa
#

ok

#

it says 20

#

i forgot to share that screenshot

#

since i did try that

#

this is what i get

#

which sounds way too low for a level 10 wizard

final trellis
#

As I said, you need to update the ROLLED HP field to what you rolled for each level

languid wyvern
iron mesa
#

ohhhh

#

thank you so much

#

wow my math was right

#

you all are lifesavers thank you 🙏

#

wait when it says 10d6 for hit dice

#

im supposed to only use 1d6 plus constitution modifier right?

uneven lantern
#

You have a number of hit dice equal to your level.

#

When you level up, you get another die. You roll it and add it to the total.

iron mesa
#

oh i see

#

so since im level 10 i have rolled a total of 10 hit dice

uneven lantern
#

9

#

You start with the maximum value for the first one.

iron mesa
#

oh yeah

#

which is 6

uneven lantern
iron mesa
#

the 10 doesn't mean that you roll 10 dice per level up

#

that was what i was confused about

uneven lantern
#

Right

#

It means you can roll up to 10 to recover HP during a short rest.

iron mesa
#

but you don't give up the hit dice that you roll for level up when you roll hp for a short rest

uneven lantern
#

Your max HP stays the same, yes.

#

And the ones you spend during a short rest, you can get back during a long rest.

#

At the end of a long rest, a character regains all lost hit points. The character also regains spent Hit Dice, up to a number of dice equal to half of the character's total number of them (minimum of one die). For example, if a character has eight Hit Dice, he or she can regain four spent Hit Dice upon finishing a long rest.
https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/basic-rules/adventuring#LongRest

iron mesa
#

and according to dnd beyond, I should have 10 d6 hit dice for a level 10 wizard, since they have gotten 10 levels up

final trellis
#

Okay this is starting to become more a question on rules rather than troubleshooting issues with the site. I'd suggest reading through the links spam provided and raising further questions in #dnd-rules

gloomy gorge
#

So hey when I made an account on the DnD beyond app it didn't actually let me pick a username and just gave me a random one. I want to change it, but when I googled it the results show that I need to raise a ticket on support.dndbeyond which looks like a whole separate website where I'll need to make a whole separate account

#

So like what's the story there if I make an account on that site and then submit a username request does it change my username on the actual DnD beyond site or does it just change my name on the support site?

naive lodge
gloomy gorge
modest pelican
gloomy gorge
#

No but that's exactly my issue. I made the account through the app by just linking my Google account on my phone and for some reason it didn't even use my google account name, it just smashed my whole email address into the account name section. Which is personally identifiable information, since my email address is literally my name

#

Everything before the @, I should say

#

It didn't throw my entire email in there

modest pelican
#

@final trellis don't worry, I've got it

#

If you don't wish to go through the Forum request (which Ideally is the fastest way because still catching up from having the Easter long weekend off), then you would need to raise a Support request as you originally mentioned.

Hello, figured I'd type here first, since this is my very first time playing DND, I know some of the basics, and I have my character created, but I kinda know next to nothing, so, anyone willing to teach and play with a newbie, who can really only play being online, I don't have any way of getting to, an actual event at someone's house or anything like that, but I was told, that playing through online works too, so yea. Help please!

How much is the spring sale discount?

modest pelican
#

I'm not aware of any spring sale, I would assume the messaging (email, tweet, etc) that you saw mention of the sale would also include the discount amount

#

If it doesn't, it'd be safe to assume the amount hasn't been announced yet

modest pelican

@violet pilotJust checked and the amount hasn't been announced yet

west urchin
final trellis
#

Okay - refresh the character, should be fixed

#

Also, I'd recomend in future to not publish homebrew until its been tested and checked - something like that should have been resolved way before the publish button gets pressed. You don't need to publish homebrew to use it yourself, and it can cause additional issues, as published content cannot be edited.

Do I add New Hit Dice rolls to rolled HP in the "Manage HP" section?
New to DnD so i did the character creation through DnD Beyond. Ranger Class. Base HP is 10 + CON which is added automatically on the app. My DM told me every character starts at level 3 in this campaign. So I change my level to level 3. And I now have two D10 to roll. So I roll 2D10, but the app only adds my first CON.
Do I just add the +3 CON to rolled HP each time after the first level?

solid kestrel
#

you only input the total rolled HP in that box. I don't exactly recall how to account for it, but basically:
at level 3 ranger with +3 con mod, you're going to have at an absolute minimum of 10+9+2. Ten from 1st level ranger, nine from 3 con times 3 levels, and two from the two extra die.

final trellis
#

The rolled HP field would have 10 (to represent the Level 1 character). You take the 2d10 (whatever you rolled), and add it to the base of 10 and that becomes the new "rolled HP" field.

#

Your Con bonus gets added automatically each level.

#

So say you had 10 from level 1, you rolled a 7 for level 2 and then rolled a 5 for level 3, you would have 22 ion the Rolled HP field (10+7+5).

#

Your Con would display as 31 if you had a +3 Con mod, as the 9 would auto add to the base of 22.

fleet ore
#

cool, So I rolled the 2D10 and it's +4+9
But the website hasn't accounted for the 2*CON for level 2 and 3
It does say the Character Level is 3 on the Class section

final trellis
#

Are you using milestones or XP?

fleet ore
#

Milestone advancement

final trellis
#

And if XP - have you set your XP correctly?

#

Can you link me the sheet?

fleet ore
final trellis
#

You have a +1 Con mod, not a +3

fleet ore
#

Well, that would explain it

final trellis
#

the +3 from con is +1 x 3 (for 3 levels)

fleet ore
#

right, gotcha

#

Thanks!

#

So it is automatic and I can chill out haha

feels odd that making characters over your limit feeds the beholder error instead...

charred kelp
#

BTW as we speak about subscription, if you buy subscription do you have access to the rule book ?
I bought them IRL can't afford to buy them again on d&d beyond.

edgy oriole
#

A subscription unlocks the ability to add other people's homebrew to your collections, unlimited character slots, and monthly character sheet perks. It does **not **give you access to the D&D books - they have to be purchased separately. It's a bit like how buying a physical book at a book store does not give you an ebook version. That said you can buy individual classes, spells, items, and feats and each purchase will start to add discounts to the book they are from so that if you do decide to buy the DnDBeyond version of the book your final purchase is discounted by the amount you've already bought.

modest pelican
#

I think that's an error in the flow that the team is aware of

#

And subscriptions do not grant access to any books without a purchase

#

The master tier allows the sharing of purchased books, but that's it

charred kelp
#

Ok thx for the answer

vast remnant
#

Hi, so I'm trying to raise my tier to master. The problem is it keeps trying to charge an old credit card and I can't find where to change my credit card info. I log into DDB go to my acct info or the purchase master tier and square on right says can't find credit card info at this time try again later. How do I upgrade to master tier?

edgy oriole
#

If you're not able to see your payment information there, I suggest submitting a ticket here: https://dndbeyond.zendesk.com/hc/en-us so DDB staff can poke stuff in the backend (tickets are answered/resolved in the order they are received - don't resubmit the same issue multiple times as that just resets you in the queue I believe).

vast remnant
#

@edgy oriole yes I get to that page and it says it can't get my payment info, please check back later.

Okay so next step is to submit a ticket so DDB staff/devs can fix that for you.

Hello, so I’m a subscriber and I like messing around with the character creator A LOT (like 183 characters currently) but I’ve been having an issue where I can’t add certain magic items to my characters that I used to be able to and can still see in the inventory list (ex: moonblade, moon-touched weapon, gloves of soul-catching) it just gives me a message that says unable to add item. Any fox or ideas for why this is happening?
