So I picked the pact of the chain warlock in my current campaign is their a way to put my familiars actions on my character sheet to make using his attack easier?

Hello, I have a question from one of DMs. We both have master tier subs and are sharing our content with each other. Quote from him below. We wanted to check if this is normal? Thank you 🙂
"I can access all the content, but I can't give items that come from sources I don't own to other players. It's not a big deal, as most of them are just a small reflavouring of a standard item anyway."

modest pelican
#

Content isn't cross shared, no

#

They can't share the content you're sharing with them

Is this for players in that same campaign, though?

Just read about the account merge with WotC next month. Do you know if/how you’re planning to merge with already existing WotC accounts? Is there anything we can do on our end to help facilitate that process?

Hi there, is there a way to view a list of all of the purchased monsters from the various sources in one place?

#

When adding a modifier to a Homebrew weapon, what Modifier type do I select when someone needs to roll a certain level to detect it?

#

So if not extended, in this case, one needs to roll a DC15 to detect it.

uneven lantern
#

That wouldn’t be a modifier, just something to put in the text description.

marble thunder
#

Does D&DBeyond not show the level 2 Dedicated Weapon thing for monks?

uneven lantern
#

You have to opt in to that optional class feature first, but yes, it will.

#

Turn on Optional Class Features in your character settings, then go to the Class tab and click Optional Feature Manager. You can turn it on from there.

QUESTION: for homebrew monsters, I can't get rollable text to work. I even copy/pasted the example text from the instructions page and it doesn't work. I'm using Chrome. Is this a known issue? Example of text I used:

#

[rollable]+5;{"diceNotation":"1d20+5","rollType":"to hit","rollAction":"Bite"}[/rollable]

#

An example with the full action expressed:

#

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: [rollable]+8;{"diceNotation":"1d20+8","rollType":"to hit","rollAction":"Bite"}[/rollable] to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2[rollable](3d10 + 5);{"diceNotation":"3d10 + 5","rollType":"damage","rollAction":Bite","rollDamageType":" piercing "}[/rollable] piercing damage.

#

I'm pasting the text directly into the Action Descriptions field of the monsters. The text displays as expected (without the tags showing) when the stat block is saved, but there is no clickable link

river breach
#

Ignore my question - I just realized rollable text only shows up when you're in the encounter/combat tracker, not on the monster page. I think this is dumb, but that's why it wasn't working

modest pelican
#

The rollable button only appears in areas where rolling is supported. Currently there is no rolling support on monster pages, hence no buttons

river breach
#

Yeah it means I need to create an encounter and add a new monster to it to test if I’ve built it right. Annoying.

Hi guys, if there any way to alter the dice for homebrewed stuff? I have a dagger that I would rather roll d6 instead of d4's

Stopping my homebrew creations from showing up in campaigns I join (edit: while keeping it in other campaigns), is that in yet?

dawn egret
#

removing them from your Collection which will stop them from being shared has always been implemented.

onyx wasp
#

I have 600+ items.

dawn egret
#

yes, and? shrugs

onyx wasp
#

So that's a no then. Thanks.

modest pelican
#

It's a yes, by removing your homebrew creations from your collections, they will not appear in your campaign

#

If you want your players to not see any homebrew, they can disable the content toggle

#

If you want to be able to disable your homebrew from appearing in a specific campaign on a campaign-by-campaign basis, that feature is not currently available

#

It's the third one. Oh well. Disappointing.

hello guys im a lvl 5 Alchemist and i unlock Alchemical Savant
You've developed masterful command of magical chemicals, enhancing the healing and damage you create through them. Whenever you cast a spell using your alchemist’s supplies as the spellcasting focus, you gain a bonus to one roll of the spell. That roll must restore hit points or be a damage roll that deals acid, fire, necrotic, or poison damage, and the bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

but i don't have any idea how can i use this option on my character, i mean i dont have any bonus on my hit dices when i try use spells with acid or heal any clue? (and tbh i cant even use the Enhanced Arcane Focus)

uneven lantern
#

That one you’ll have to apply manually, but you should be able to use Enhanced Arcane Focus.

#

You need it equipped, infused, and attuned — all on the Equipment tab of your character sheet.

dense minnow

oh i missed the attuned part thanks

can i ask in this chat for some homebrew problems/quesion?

That seems, flawed. That means players can add their own homebrew without the DM approval.
Just my two-cents

What modifier stat do I select for the difficulty to detect a weapon you're carrying for people that don't know about it?

#

For instance, a hidden dagger needs a roll of DC15 to be able to detect it

#

#homebrew can give you advice there. That’s more of a design discussion than a technical one. (I’d say perception, though.)

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a book that includes blacksmith and merchant as a background option for character creation in D&DB app and I'm not sure if that would be the players handbook or BG:DiA

lime gulch
#

Guild Artisan/Merchant is available on the PHB. Some books like Descent offer variations on it.

coral escarp
#

If there isn't a single book with these perimeters, I'm leaning towards a blacksmith background

lime gulch
#

There isn't a specific official Blacksmith background but you can fashion Guild Artisan into one.

coral escarp
uneven lantern
#

Makes it pretty easy to mix-and-match between books.

coral escarp
lime gulch
#

The backgrounds in Descent only specify how to thematically appropriate the generic background into Baldur's Gate. They don't have the mechanical info in the book. I don't know if you buy them piecemeal from that book.

coral escarp
#

Unless it's web only

lime gulch
#

Once you buy something online, it will be available in the app (if it's properly implemented in the app by now).

Is there a way to create an action which grants yourself temporary HP?

hey people.
so i just posted this on DDB bugs & support but wanted to post it here also in case any of you know why this happens...
So here goes...

One of my players have a problem with rolling damage on a blood hunter with a rite activated using the on page dice roller...

He is a blood hunter, order of the profane soul level 3 and have a greatsword that gives 2d6 damage + modifier and 1d4 rite damage...

the problem is that he can roll the 2d6 as normal but he cant activate his rite on D&DBeyond (it lacks an activation box) and he can't add the extra damage die from his rite to that roll using the digital sword damage dice roller from his sheet...

now i've even tried to make his rite damage as part of his sword as a magic item but it still don't help add the extra damage when he is rolling with the digital damage dice.

What is wrong???

plz help explain...

modest pelican
#

The character sheet doesn't currently support temporary and additional effects such as enabling rite damage

#

Additionally, you can't currently add dice to weapons

#

The best way to roll rite damage is to use the custom dice rolling options

#

hey, so for some reason I can't roll dice on my character sheets. It's not performing the rolls I need the roller to do.

uneven lantern
#

Can you be more specific? What happens when you try to roll, exactly?

#

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

fresh jolt
#

I try to click say Persuasion to roll a persuasion check, and it only highlights the box and dosen't roll

#

works on mobile, but not on my laptop

uneven lantern
#

Sounds like a local issue, then. Could be a browser extension interfering. Have you tried a second browser on your laptop?

fresh jolt
#

it works on Microsoft Edge, but I may try & nix an extension if that can fix the issue

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, I’d suggest turning off all extensions. If that solves it, you can re-enable them one by one to find the culprit.

fresh jolt
#

I use Chrome

#

Certain extensions like ad-blockers, Beyond20, AboveVTT can interfere with DnDBeyond functionality.

Very strange. They vat should be applied for the subscription but not the books, as they are similar to the printed books. But maybe beeing such a small marked, its not worth it to implement it. Hope it gets fixed in the future. 🙂

When you choose an item to infuse on the Inventory tab, it does indeed show that requirement.

I'm making a clockwork soul sorcerer. They get spells as they level (like many subclasses) BUT they can actually swap them out as you level for other things.
"Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be an abjuration or a transmutation spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list."
Is there a way to swap these spells on my character sheet to the new spells I've chosen?

At the moment, you'd need to make a homebrew copy of that subclass and switch the spell there.

Will a deve explain this better? i do not want to lose my account or all the content i buy over the year, soo pleas any the moderators can find out if google account will still be use to log in our D&D beyond account ASAP?

All the information about the data acquisition and data migration is linked in the email

#

But the simple version is that control of your information on D&D Beyond will be moving from Fandom to Wizards of the Coast. Access to your account is not changing

edgy pasture
#

So I will be able to Sigh in to Dnd beyond with my google account correct? im not smart person when it come to tech stuff

Nothing is changing in regards to that at this time

If that does change, you will be notified and given an opportunity to migrate your login options

hello all

#

is there a way to transfer a character to another dnd beyond user?

empty totem
#

I haven't tried this in a while, but I believe you can create a character and join a campaign with that character, then release it so that it is unclaimed. Another player with a link to the campaign can then claim the character.

fleet geode
#

what if your the dm and you have all your players sheets?

#

i can create new unassigned characters but ive already created them

#

i dont wanna have to do it again it took some time

empty totem
#

Okay, so if they exist and are unassigned, another player can claim them on the campaign page.

#

You can also force Unassign from that page

fleet geode
#

it wont let me add characters ive created to be assigned

empty totem
#

On the campaign page, find the "join" link and copy / paste it into a browser window

fleet geode
#

oh ok

empty totem
#

You should be able to join with that / those characters.

#

You probably have to do it one at a time...?

#

Or maybe not

#

I'm not sure on that point

#

Considering the campaign limits are player-based now

uneven lantern
#

Yeah, just use the invite link at the top of your campaign page to add them one by one. Once they’re in, find them on the campaign page and click Unassign.

#

Then send that same invite link to your players and they’ll be able to choose one of the unclaimed characters.

fleet geode
#

so when i go into discord and use the bot if they are logged in to dnd beyond they should be able to control those characters?

empty totem
#

Once they claim them and link the sheet, yes.

uneven lantern
#

They’ll need to also import their character into Avrae, but yes.

fleet geode
#

if i already imported it will that work?

uneven lantern
#

No. They need to do it themselves.

fleet geode
#

ok

#

after they claim the character

uneven lantern
#

Characters you import are tied to your account.

fleet geode
#

oh ok

#

when they click the invite link they will see the available characters rite?

uneven lantern
#

If the character has been added to the campaign and Unclaimed, yes.

Do you own the book where that race comes from or are you part of a campaign with that book and content sharing enabled and are you creating the character in that shared-content campaign?

You can only create a character with non-SRD races if you own the content or if that content is shared with you.

If I subscribe to DnD Beyond on the "Hero" level, does it unlock subclasses for my players in my campaigns?

uneven lantern
#

Neither subscription tier unlocks game content.

#

But the Master Tier would let you enable Content Sharing for your campaign, which allows the whole group to share their purchased game content with one another.

edgy oriole
#

No. Hero level unlocks unlimited character slots, adding other's homebrew to your homebrew collection, and early access to new tools being developed. Also some subscriber perks like some custom dice skins, backgrounds and frames. Books still have to be purchased seperately of the subscription.

Hello, in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything it states under the Druid section that Druids can gain the Revivify spell at 3rd level. In my character builder for D&D Beyond I can't select the spell as my 3rd level spell. Is this a bug?

it's an optional feature that must be enabled

druids don't get it at base - it's an optional class feature that makes revivify a druid spell for that druid.

Is there a way to add saving throw modifiers to a character? For example if I wanted to say add advantage to being charmed, and disadvantage to being frightened

You might have better dice rolling imagery using the DnDBeyond mobile app.

It was on chrome, with WebGL and acceleration on. The problem with the app is that it looks very odd on the iPad screen, since it uses the same layout as the phone version.

Chrome on iOS still uses Safari underneath and Safari hasn’t been the best at supporting some of the more modern webGL standards. Is iOS up to date?

Of course

#

It may help that a few minutes before this started happening, circa 3 days ago, a window popped up to one of my players saying that DNDbeyond was having problems with dice

Then it may be a known issue that DDB is working on fixing or awaiting Apple to make an update to Safari to address.

If you’re a stout halfling, you probably won’t have a feat at level 1.

But for argument’s sake, Ritual Caster gives you two spells to start. Any more you’d have to find in-game and pay the cost to add, per the feat description. It’s worth a conversation with your DM.

Doesn’t seem like the order really matters, honestly, as long as the total doesn’t exceed 24. But the simplest way to add it would be to just click on your Dexterity score to open the sidebar, then put a 4 in “Other Modifier”.

If you want the dex disadvantage to show up under saving throws instead, you'd need to use the homebrew system -- probably a homebrew feat.

When creating a homebrew race, is it possible to replace the damage type of just the unarmed strike? I see the modifier to just replace damage type, but I'm not sure how it works or what I'd put on it. I can select the modifier subtype to be a type of damage, but I'm not sure if that's what I'm changing from or to, and I'm not sure what kind of attacks it's applying to.

uneven lantern
#

Replace Damage Type only works for Magic Items (weapons specifically).

#

I'd suggest looking for an official race that changes the unarmed strike. Then you can make a homebrew copy of it and see exactly how they set that up.

Currently the character sheet doesn't natively support the ability to apply multiple infusions to armor. What you'll have to do is add 'placeholder' items (a set of boots and a helmet, plus an appropriate weapon) to infuse

So arcane armor is a separate infusion?

You can use the homebrew tools to recreate that content for free, though. (Just please don’t publish it.)

Or you can buy just the parts of the book you need, like a single subclass.

Having a bit of trouble creating a sidekick for my party on DDB. Not sure if i'm going about it in the wrong way. Did it through the monster creation tool, adding the different stuff to to the statblock, which seemed to work out fine. The main statblock itself has no issues, but when I add the statblock to the character sheet of my players in the 'extras' tab it lacks all bonus actions.

#

The statblock when added to the character's sheet vs. the main statblock.

I believe at this time bonus actions haven't been setup to display in the extras section; it's a relatively new feature on official creatures

Oh, that sucks. How do you go about making sidekicks with bonus actions then? Tasha's is from 2020, so this issue must have been around for a while.

So, I made a sidekick earlier, but when I try adding it to my players' character sheets, the stats are completely different than the statblock I made. Any idea why this is happening?

#

As you can see, the proficiencies are completely different depending on whether it's added to a character sheet (first) or just the statblock itself (second).

uneven lantern
#

What Extras category did you use? Sidekick?

#

A lot of those categories come with extra rules that modify the statblock, including Sidekick (which uses the DoIP sidekick rules, not the TCoE ones).

#

I'd suggest using another category like Misc, which should keep the statblock as-is.

Hey guys. I'm having some trouble with a Racial Trait while working on a Homebrew race. In the "Options" portion, I have four things "Granted" and 4 things...not.

The issue pops up when I make a Test Character. I have the Trait and Option in the Builder, but when I select one of the options, it drops back to "- Choose an Option -".

If you try a few times, it eventually works, but each time it "fails", it adds whatever they selected that didn't work (multiple times if they try the same option)

#

Inside the Character Sheet later, you see the repeated tries listed (and the modifiers take effect for each one)

#

It's weird. Sometimes changing the selection fixes it and clears the extra stuff, but other times it just adds another instance of the option and leave the old one(s)

#

Alternatively, is there an easier way for a Trait to allow someone to select from a set list of skills other than making each one an "Option"?

Is there a way to handle this part of Psionic Spells from Aberrant Mind?

Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the same level. The new spell must be a divination or an enchantment spell from the sorcerer, warlock, or wizard spell list.

As far as I can tell it only gives you the listed spells and doesn't let you change them.

At the moment, you'll need to make a homebrew copy of that subclass and change it there.

ok, i just got on the D&D beyound and saw the message and now two things worries me, One is the homebrew content and our DND oc are going to be own by the Wizards of the coast now? and two Will this merge change how we login to the website like my self i use google account to log in and seeing this worries me hope one of the mods or the devs on the dnd beyond team can awnser this quickly becuse the comment i saw are half bake or trolls are spreading fear.

#

becuse im looking on the comments from here and this worries me a lot.

#

becuse yikes.... there a lot of fear mongering in the comments.

violet vortex
#

There are always fearful reactions to acquisitions. Best I can say is we’ll see what happens.

edgy pasture
#

i rather not wait and see i need awnsers asap before my mind go in to a panic.

violet vortex
#

Try not to worry too much about the scary comments from people who aren’t involved with the acquisition itself. When WOTC/DDB is ready to say more, they will.

edgy pasture
#

well they better say it Sooner then on the day where if my fear is that my google account login is no longer vailed login option :/

#

this the same back lash when hero forge told about the company own the modle you made for your oc.

violet vortex
#

Sounds like you’re basing your opinions off of speculation. Maybe stay off the forums for a while until WOTC has more to say.

#

Ink hasn’t even dried yet, so again, when they’re ready to say more, I’m sure they will.

edgy pasture
#

kk. ill be really upset to louse my accese to my content on dnd beyound becuse wotc decide to drop the google login option.

#

that wont happen and there is no reason to believe it would.

naive lodge
#

@edgy pasture Where do you get the idea that your content is going to be owned by Wizards of the Coast? Have you read the new terms of service yourself?

edgy pasture
#

kinda. and i shod now but i did see you repyl on it on the coments on dnd you said: The only change announced is who legally controls the data. what you mean by Controls the data?

naive lodge
#

It's a legal term.

modest pelican
#

It means who is responsible for managing the data, ensuring that it's handled in compliance with regulations such as GDPR, etc

naive lodge
#

"The regulation applies if the data controller (an organisation that collects data from EU residents)"

modest pelican
#

Basically instead of Fandom being responsible for keeping your data safe, WotC now is

edgy pasture
#

ok that dose clear up and put the panic voice in my head to rest. for now.

Everything that we could tell you has already been communicated to you, D&D Beyond would never 'gate' information behind you have to ask the right people the right questions, especially information this important

Hey guys, hopefully this is the right channel. 🙂

One of my players expressed an interest in purchasing a book for me. Is there a way to export a list of what I already have, or is there something in place to prevent him from purchasing one I already have?

modest pelican
#

The answer is unfortunately no to both those questions

#

Also important to note that all purchases are final, so my recommendation would be to check what books you don't own manually and then send them that list

hey quick question on homebrew spells how do i add that the target of the spell needs to make a save?

modest pelican
#

You say that in the spells description

ok so not how it is on the official ones where instead of a hit dice its a save

That's how it's done on official spells; the fact you make a save is in the description

#

Nah, back up. You want it to show a DC on your character sheet?

#

Open the Additional Information section for the spell (only visible after you save it the first time), and select an ability under "Save Type".

#

Fireball, for example:

#

Ah, I misunderstood the question

A player has clicked my campaign link but only has the option to join with existing characters, not create a new one. Am I doing something wrong?

#

actually their characters are grayed out and unselectable. so they cant join at all..

uneven lantern
#

I would presume they don’t have a subscription and have filled their limit of 6 characters, which would explain why they can’t create a new one.

quaint burrow
#

aaah

#

okay. I didnt' realize that

uneven lantern
#

And if those 6 characters all belong to other campaigns, they wouldn’t be selectable for this one. The player would have to remove them from the other campaign first.

yes I'm sure that is probably the case

Can you apply coupons to dnd beyond app?

Or can you use play store credit in the website? Because I have 15 left over from few years back, and also discount from DoIP

The play store and the websites market place are different shops, there are currently no ways to use coupons/discounts in the play store and play credit is only usable through in-app purchases.

I'm trying to add a specific spell to a Wild Magic sorcerer similar to how the extra spells for Clockwork Soul works, as in "this counts as a sorcerer spell but it doesn't count against the number of sorcerer spells you know". What would be the best way to do this?
I have currently tried making a homebrew feat to add the spell but unsure how to setup the spell for the criteria above. For now I have it as a once per LR cast, how do I get it to use up a spell slot instead?

uneven lantern
#

Feats can't be set to use spell slots. I'd suggest making a homebrew copy of that subclass and adding it there.

That's your bank refusing the transaction. You'll need to contact them to approve it; they may not recognise D&D Beyond or it might be how much you're buying

Hi ive ran into an issue that i dont think ill be able to fix but its worth an ask. I used my apple id to create a beyond account but the phone i had broke and i returned to andriod i no longer have the ability to access the apple account as i unlinked the email i had from the account. Now im trying to link my discord that was linked to the account i cant access to the new account i made. but i cant unlink my account from the old email to the new one and when i try to just go head and link the discord i get an error saying its linked to another account. Is there a way to unlink my discord from the lost account?

sorry for using the word linked a million times aha

Heeey! I'm having trouble on the website.

So the website is glitching, and telling me I don't have a subscription despite me actually purchasing a hero tier for one month (I can provide proof). I've seen it saying I have a subscription only once this whole week, but whenever I go to the homebrew content or anywhere other than the home page, I'm told that a subscription is required.

What does your account page say for the subscription?

junior ice
junior ice
final trellis
#

The cancelled status would suggest it was cancelled or that the payment didn't process. Also the previous screenshot was for 1.99 not 2.99, so suggests a content purchase not a sub. Your sub shows it is not active as we are in May based on your screenshots

junior ice
#

If I cancel it, it should be active until the end of the month right?

#

I don't understand why I was charged 2 dollars

final trellis
#

a 1.99 charge would normally be for purchasing say a spell or subclass, etc. the minimum sub price is 2.99.

#

The 1.99 charge also has its for DDB Conte - which would be DDB content, which is not the charge for a subscription

junior ice
#

You're right, I do remember buying a subscription, but it seems like the 2 dollar thing was from my triton purchase

OH! It didn't go through!!

# fleet wraith How do I change my primary payment method on dndbeyond?

Not sure what you mean, as from what I have experienced, I put in a credit card number with each purchase. So nothing is saved and I can swap between my various cards. The only other options that I ever see are for PayPal, and I refuse to use them. I trust PayPal about as far as I can spit a live rat.

heya, how do i send a charachter i made into an campaign?

#

also, this might be stupid, but where is background features located on the characther sheet? i dont seem to be able to find it?

modest pelican
#

To bring a pre-made character into a campaign, you'll need to go to the invite link (even if it's your own campaign)
From there, you'll be able to select the character and join the campaign with them

#

For background features on the character sheet, it's under Description > Background

subtle vortex
#

hmm where exactly?

lime gulch
modest pelican
#

The descriptions tab isn't visible if the character sheet belongs to someone else and you're not the DM of the campaign the character is in

uneven lantern
#

Or if you’re viewing your own character using the public share link.

#

(In which case going to My Characters and opening it from there would fix it.)

Good morning. I have purchased the Italian version of the Player's Handbook on your website. However, it is not available on the D&DBeyond iPhone App. Why is it not available?

Hey I was going to buy my first d and d book, but I also use d and d beyond a lot. If I buy a physical book, is there a code or something to also use it online?

There is a boxed set that contains a code for half-off the PHB. Otherwise, no, they do not provide free copy of the digital book with a paper book.

Would that give me the feats?

Absolutely. It should even be possible to buy only the feats if I recall correctly.

Not sure if this should be in feedback, or I am just being obtuse or blind, or both. But when the map asks me to refer to page 24 of the source book, how do I find that on a D&D Beyond sourcebook? I can navigate through the menu, but how do I find what page 24 would be?

naive lodge
#

There is no easy way to translate physical page number to the digital format given that different printings have changed the page numbers of content. In general I'd look to see what it's referring to, as usually it says something like Wizard's Quarters (page 24) and we will have the section available to find.

Hey folks! I'm needing a little help. I own Fizban's Treasury, yet the Topaz Annihilator is not showing up as an item my characters or players can add to their character sheet. Why is this?

dawn egret
#

because of how the magic item needs to be implemented.

floral echo
#

He is supposed to be level 4, shows up as lvl 5 in campaign view and combat tracker.

edgy oriole
#

Can you not edit the character and set their level to the appropriate level?

floral echo
#

Also, others in the campaign are noting that some of their spells are missing

floral echo
edgy oriole
#

Hmmm. Maybe remove the character from the campaign and re-import them?

#

As for missing spells - make sure they're not missing because content sharing issues (is content sharing enabled and is someone with a Master Tier subscription in the campaign, and are the appropriate content toggles enabled?)

floral echo
#

Already checked that, content sharing is still on, nothing has changed for that

edgy oriole
#

Then yeah, I'd try having everyone re-import their characters to the campaign (and clear browser cache).

#

If that doesn't solve it, come back and perhaps a DDB developer can take a look and see what's happening on the backend.

#

Hello, hoping someone can help me here. But I'm currently in a DnD Campaign where I found a +1 double-bladed scimitar, I'm trying to set up the custom bonus action for it since the dbs doesn't automatically populate the bonus action, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to give it its +1 to hit, I can give it its +1 to damage, but not hit.

loud drift
#

To get the +1 add the magic item DBS instead of the standard, but what bonus action are you needing to be associated with it?

exotic fable
#

its second attack is a bonus action

#

and adding the hellfire dbs doesn't do anything, the standard attack is fine, you can add the +1 to hit and damage using the standard customize item, but for custom actions, I can only find the option to add +1 to damage, not hit.

Hmm, looks like it's something you'll have to homebrew as I'm not seeing a plain DBS +1 suddenly

#

Hello, I'm a few sessions into my 1st time playing DnD and only now found out about Beyond and wanted to make one for my character to better keep track of everything.

As a Bard that just reached level 3 and chose the College of Lore, my character should be able to choose 3 skills to become proficient in. I was able to add 2 that I chose easily but for some reason the last skill I chose (Perception) isn't showing up on the drop down menu as an option to add. Is this a bug?

edgy oriole
#

If that doesn't resolve it, please post back here.

open nymph
#

I tried yesterday and now again today

#

I don't think it'll actually matter because it's one of the 2 I chose for the expertise as well (and I could find it on the drop down menu there) so it still shows up on my character sheet with the full dot filled in and the extra circle around it, so maybe it doesn't matter if I can't add it as a new level 3 proficiency in addition to the expertise

exotic fable
open nymph
#

Probably? I don't know, it's my 1st time playing DnD. But I figured for my Bard becoming level 3 I 1st choose 3 new proficiencies and then from all my proficiencies I've ever earned (3 from starting as a bard and 2 for my spy background and 3 from my new level 3 proficiencies) I'd then choose 2 to become an expert in.

#

Seems odd I can decide to become an expert without choosing it as a proficiency 1st.

slim anchor
#

If you have expertise in it, you had proficiency in it some how. (the spy background, most likely). Choose another skill.

open nymph
#

I didn't have expertise until now I chose it as a proficiency (but it won't let me add it in the drop down menu...it will let me add it in the expertise drop down though). I have stealth and deception from being a spy.

slim anchor
#

What race are you?

open nymph
#

I tried unclicking the expertise to see if I had to choose it as a proficiency 1st but it's still not listed.

Elves have proficiency in Perception.

Uugh I've had so many perception rolls already--we've had around 4 sessions like 6 hours each. That bonus would have been so nice. 😭
On the upside, guess I get to choose an extra new proficiency now. Thanks! 💖

slim anchor
#

It's one of the benefits of D&D Beyond. It takes care of many of the little details you might overlook in character creation, like racial proficiency in Perception.

edgy oriole
#

Also don't feel bad about not knowing about it - I've been playing and DM'ing this game for quite a while and I still miss stuff.

edgy oriole
#

We'll need more details to diagnose it.

#

I see you're using the Beyond20 extension which has been known to cause interference/issues with normal DnDBeyond functionality. I suggest disabling that and seeing if it fixes the issue. Other extensions like Adblocker extensions can also cause issues.

#

That's fine - just be aware that using them can impact normal DnDBeyond functionality.

slim anchor
#

Try clicking on the anvil at the top and go back to the background selection screen. See if your choice of background was registered properly.

loud drift
#

That background doesn't have choice selection, it's either the extension or a bug

edgy oriole
#

I meant ad blocking extensions. DnDBeyond uses lots of 3rd party libraries and data-metrics stuff (often tied to or used by ad networks) which can cause ad blockers to block essential scripts that DnDBeyond needs to run correctly. Beyond20 though is created by a developer who's basically creating a bridging interface between DnDBeyond and supported Virtual Tabletops - and the thing is both the VTTs and DnDBeyond are constantly getting updates which means that poor developer has to try and fix their extension to work as everything changes around them.

slim anchor
#

That's your perogative. I was suggesting a step that would force the website to review the background information once the extension had been disabled and hoped that would fix it.

edgy oriole
#

Glad you got it fixed!

Based on the URL there, I’m betting the auto-renew payment didn’t go through.

i am in several groups with content sharing but becuase I'm no longer subscribed I can't access ANYTHING i dont directly have'

uneven lantern
#

You mean groups where you had personally enabled the content sharing?

#

If someone else enabled it for a campaign, you should still have access to the content shared from that campaign — with or without a subscription of your own.

subtle lily
#

both by me and by other players

loud drift
#

Someone else with a master tier who owns the book should still be able to share it with you. However you also said that you filed a ticket, maybe I'd you share your ticket# they can get it in front of the right person faster

I'm out of time.
Im purchasing the book directly. But my faith in the team is now under question

#

...you... you don't need to be subscribed to make use of content share if someone else has it turned on though?

#

you do now

dawn egret
#

literally no? because otherwise my content shares with my players (who haven't spent a single cent) wouldn't work.

also defeats the point of the content share

fallow sentinel
#

14gb

OK, it's not a storage issue, most likely. I can see in your screenshot you're connected to WiFi, so it's not likely a connection issue. Let me see if I can replicate it in my app to determine which end is having the problem.

I was able to download quite quickly, so there may be a disconnect between your phone and DDB. I can't do much else to help, I'm afraid.

That WiFi icon on your phone might just mean the phone is connecting to the Wireless Access Point. It could still potentially not be connecting to the internet. Not likely, but possible. I’d restart the WAP and your modem. Then reset them if that doesn’t work.

my purpose is to transfer the books to foundry, I just downloaded the app to see why I couldn't and that's when I realized that the books couldn't be downloaded

Is there someone with a hero subscription whom can answer a question I have about adding home brew to a character?

#

What’s the question?

fiery perch
#

I want to play a certain race/subclass combo for a new character but I don’t have the two books needed purchased on D&D Beyond. So if I had the hero tier and could add home brew to a character, could I add/make homebrew races and subclasses that are close to the official ones to use for my characters?

#

If you’ve got the physical books, you can use the homebrew tools to recreate that content for free, with or without a subscription. (Just don’t publish it.)

#

A Hero Tier subscription will let you add and use other people’s published homebrew, which does not include the official content.

#

Ultimately, people are only supposed to publish their own original creations.

#

But you’d need one before you can add them to your personal homebrew collection.

fiery perch
#

Ah, okay. If I were to make my own homebrew like a spell without publishing it, could I still add it to a character or would it need to be published.

#

you don't need to publish your own stuff to use your own stuff

#

for example, you could make a homebrew subclass, put it on a character, keep testing and editing and whatnot, until it's fully finished and ready to publish

#

no

#

that's for adding other peoples published homebrew to your collection

fiery perch
#

Ohhh I see

solid kestrel
#

even with no subscription you can use your own homebrew

Hey, will this discord be merged with the WOTC discord once the aquisitionn is complete?

fiery perch
#

Thank you for your help!

solid kestrel
#

be it item, spell, race, subclass, feat, whatever. If it's not published, only you and fellow characters in a campaign can access it. Once published, you can't edit it, so only publish when it's finished.

uneven lantern
#

You’re not obligated to publish at all, in fact. (And shouldn’t if it’s not your own original creation.)

#

That’s only if you want to make it available for the global community.

#

But you can use it on your own characters, and it gets shared in your campaigns automatically.

Is it possible to play as a lich in DnD? I'm rather new...

#

I don't mean TURN into a lich at level 16, I mean like start as a lich.

solid kestrel
#

there isn't, RAW

#

closest you can get is playing a Reborn and go for Wizard (Necromancy)

carmine meadow
#

Darn... I wanted to play a lich chronomancer...

#

I guess there's always homebrew if I wanted to manually figure out the bonuses...

loud drift
#

You can look to see if someone homebrewed the race or create it yourself

carmine meadow
#

Fair, I don't think I should use the +9s of the NPC lich...

#

That's... That's just dirty.

I'm a little confused about artificer's and infused items.
for example: if I'm lvl 5 I know 4 infusions but my infused item max is 2. In the description of "infused item" it says I can infuse 2 per long rest which I think means I can infuse 4 diferent things over 2 long rests. However I can't tell if that's the case since later in the document it states "If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends, and then the new infusion applies."
I assume this just applies to attempting to apply more than one infusion on something, but due to it saying "try to exceed your maximum" instead of "try to apply more than 1 infusion". I'm a little confused on whether that means I can't exceed a number of infused items equal to the infused item max for my lvl (in this case 2).

dawn egret
#

you know 4 infusions and you can only have 2 infused period at any given time

#

the number you can have infused goes up with level.

#

If you try to exceed your maximum number of infusions, the oldest infusion immediately ends, and then the new infusion applies.

pine crystal
#

yeah, the confusion was that it was in a seperate paragraph that is addressing the number of infusions a single item can have and it already stated the different methods for an infusion being removed from an item in the previous paragraph. So I wasn't sure if it was a third method or not

dawn egret
#

you can't take any of the rules in chunks.

#

you have to look at them as a whole.

pine crystal
#

Then why would there be a maximum you can do per long rest if that is also the maximum you can do in total? The way it's partitioned and phrased is very confusing

dawn egret
#

shrugs that's how WotC decided they wanted it to be.

#

Please explain your issue.

hearty obsidian
#

I made my homebrew and its published but when I try to look it up in the inventory it does not appear

lime gulch
#

Do you have Homebrew toggle on in your character settings?

hearty obsidian
#

yep

lime gulch
#

What is the Homebrew's name?

hearty obsidian
#

nvm I guess it just need time thanks for the help

lime gulch
#

If you created it, it should be available in your private collection regardless of its published status.

hearty obsidian
#

I can see it now idk why it wasn't there before thanks for the help though

#

server caching is usually to blame

Until this is done, all characters are locked as it won't know which character(s) you will want active.

You can't, you'll need to join via the site as joining a campaign requires you to follow an invite link via your browser

Is Thrown Weapon fighting style damage increase for thrown weapons supposed to be visible on a character sheet?

#

for example should a dagger be displaying a +2 to damage, or how to a find that/trigger it in combat?

loud drift
#

Weapons that aren't exclusively thrown like daggers and spears would require you to have to add the bonus yourself as you call out the roll, but maybe a toggle for telling the system when a weapon is being thrown would make for a great future update since this does come up

Hi I just wanted to confirm something that I'd read. I own a physical book but don't own the digital version on dnd beyond. I read that one way to still make use of the site's features like the combat tracker, character sheets, campaign sharing,etc. is to add in stuff from the physical book as homebrew content, but not to publish it publicly. Would that be correct?

Alternatively, you can buy just the parts you need, like a single subclass. Whatever you spend gets credited toward the cost of the book itself, too.

can you provide a link to the character?

little plume
#

Oh my bad... its showing up on the actual sheet but not when creating the character

modest pelican
#

How do you mean?

final trellis
#

The spells section in the builder is just for picking- those get auto assigned, you don't select them

#

As such they wont show there

modest pelican
#

Yeah, that was what I was gonna point out

Hi, I'm trying to make a custom spell in order to make an actual bonus action of my Steel Defender's Force Rend attack. How can I add my (the artificer's) profiency bonus to the fixed value of damage?

#

I tried entering 3+PB and a few variants like that, but that wasn't accepted

#

For what it's worth it actually isn't a spell at all, but couldn't really find a way to make a 'homebrew Action' or something like that

Yeah I've been trying that as well but I can't set both the +hit and +damage modifiers seperately
