D&D Character Builder: Level Up Release

Question I created a Soulknife Rogue. Their Psychic Blade feature is supposed to have the Vex property. Although the Builder does create the attack upon choosing the subclass at level three, it lacks the Vex mastery and I cannot see any way to edit it in. What am I missing?

When leveling up, the builder allows the user to change things that shouldn't be changed after creation. Things like Abilities should not change after the game play starts. Is this by design?

I'm trying to rebuild a ranger from scratch, and archery, the second level fighting style, is not an option. (Screen shot attached.)

I just created a sorcerer using only 2024 PHB rules and hit level up, and it only took me through level 1 options.

Where in the level up process are you only seeing Level 1 options? I've just tested a sorcerer from scratch, then level'd up, and I'm being put thru all the level 2 mechanisms. Can you tell me where yours is failing? Thank you! It could be a case of not not adding a level in the first screen of the level up process. It's not super clear that you need to manually increase it from 1 to 2 when you're leveling up. In the charactermancer for the old sheet, it automatically had +1 level selected when leveling up.

Just tried to multi-class (Bard / Warlock)  Bard 1st level seems to work out.  Then after that is done I click the level up and get to "Add Class" it pulls up the classes, I pick Warlock 2024 and click "next" and it jumps to the species, next.. next next.. all the bard stuff review.  There is never a second level of anything.  This has been an alarmingly bad roll out.  Also when you go into the gear on the "Character Profile" there is a line that says: "for a complete sheet experience, go to the builder" and the "Go to Builder" button is not functional and still says "Coming Soon" on hover. So my question is:  Is multi-class leveling on the sheet even supposed to work at this point?  I also find it odd that there seems to be so little response from Roll20 team on the poor shape of the character sheet and builder.

Any Good tips for changing the Proficiency Bonus to 7 (from Ioun Stone of Mastery) within Jumpgate?

I've posted this on the 2024 character sheet thread but I'll repeat it here because it's relevant: when leveling up characters, I've been presented with the option to choose two additional languages. This should not occur.  There is nothing in the PHB that I can find that indicates that you learn additional languages when you level up unless you are a Ranger. Rangers, due to the Deft Explorer feature, get two additional languages when they hit level 2. But that is the only class or subclass in the PHB that gains additional languages when leveling up under the 2024 rules and none of the characters that I've leveled up have been Rangers. This certainly seems like a bug to me.

 Where is the 2024 character sheet thread?

I keep on loosing all datas on Character Sheets every 5 or 6 days.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I have run into a couple of minor glitches on the DnD 2024 Character Sheet. The first has to do with the Observant feat.  In the feat, you are supposed to be able to take skill proficiency in either Insight, Investigation or Perception.  If you already have the skill, you get expertise. I already had proficiency in Investigation and Perception.  The character creator would only let me take Insight.  I wanted expertise in Perception instead. So...I left the skill blank on the feat, went to the core page and did an override on Perception and gave it expertise.  The only downside is it keeps telling me there is something left undone on the character creator.  Oh, well. The second is with the Rind of Mind Shielding.  The Compendium lists it as requiring attunement, which what I had listed on my old 2014 character sheet.  However, when I pulled it over from the Compendium to my Inventory, it would not list as requiring attunement.  Again, easily fixed as I know the item does require attunement. Minor problems, but I thought I would let you know that I had encountered them. Thank you for your work on the new edition.

I cannot level up in the 2014 sheet anymore, it's broken entirely.  Is this intended?

Hi all, I have created a 2014 lvl 6 barbarian but I dont see the Tiger and Elk Aspect of the Beast options, just the standard Bear, Eagle & Wolf options. I do have the relevant sourcebooks so not sure what Im missing? Thanks

Hey can yall add custom backgrounds please? I havent been able to use the roll20 character creator for this reason

Tried leveling up a character for the first time last night. Two things: 1 - is there a way to override either average or auto rolled HP so I can input my analog roll? b - Bard can’t swap out a lower level spell for a higher level one…

Politely, please stop trying to make the 2024 sheet happen. It's buggy, it's clunky, it has less functionality than the 2014 sheet that already does what the player needs. You would make everyone happy if you let users add 2024 items to the 2014 sheet, that's really all we want.

After trying out the 2024 character sheet I must say it is rather disappointing. Very unfriendly design, i don't enjoy it at all :( . Hope something better comes up in the future. The way spells were arranged on 2014 one was very convenient. What I have now is a long list I have to scroll through, the more spells I have the worst it gets. I am not even able to edit some aspects as I want to, for example having mage armor active should be 100% a one button function. Instead of improving the old design you remade everything with tons of bugs, useless features and unfriendly design.

I don't see any way to retrain spells. Not properly anyway. When leveling up on the spell selection screen you can delete a spell, but it only lets you select a spell of the same level as a replacement. If I can cast 2nd level spells I can retrain a 1st level as a 2nd level, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do that.

We decided to try 2024 rules over the hols and plunged in to the 2024 sheet. Barbarian unarmoured defence... Dex is a +3 and Con a +4, so AC 17. Slid the button to active near the bottom of the sheet and edited it to add Con mod. AC was showing as 13 now changes to 17, looks good BUT token bubble for bar2, set to AC shows only 13 (10+Dex).  I could set bar2 to none and manually input 17, but that sucks. Only way to do it is to not set AC via Unarmoured Defence and do it via editing AC . So, yes I can make it work on the token and on the sheet, but not by the feature specific to the barbarian class. Unless I have missed something this seems poor

Everybody I D&D with say they will leave roll20 if this sheet is forced upon us, I play with around 40 people over the week.

Once at bard 10, you can't choose from the magical secret pool of spells until 11. You should be able to at 10 and after that you can also for replacement spells. Will this be fixed?

Also, choosing great weapon master fighting style doesn't change anything. Is there intention to have it auto calculate the rolls at some point?

After choosing the fey touched feat, I cannot open the drop down to choose a fey touched spell. It just glitches out trying to load them.

We don't need the builder for 2024 content, but right now there is not a functional sheet for 2024 content. My purchase on Roll20 is only good as reference material . My game game using the 2014 rules has player options from the PHB, Xanathar's, and Tasha's along with custom weapons, custom feats, custom races, custom items, etc. I have a spot in my campaign where it would make sense for a big shakeup, like a move to 2024 rules would make sense. Thank goodness that point is still probably the better part of a year away.

Thank goodness that point is still probably the better part of a year away. The problem as I understand it is that the 2024 Compendium content is not structured in a way that the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet would recognize. It is entirely different.  The D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 sheet is a mess on the back end, trying to update it to handle the 2024 Compendium content would probably go badly.  With that said, it is my belief that Roll20 should have, and should still, create an entirely new 2014/2024 Character sheet in the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet style. Beacon is so alien to the Roll20 Architecture that I don't know if it will ever be able to do what I can do with the 2014 sheet. But, perhaps someday it'll reach parity. Who knows?

The 2024 sheet can import both, so 2014 could.  By using 2014 sheet a lot of free expertise and time could be available to sort issues.

I'd agree with this, but would also point out that the 2024 sheet and Beacon have been in development for quite some time.  The development team must have known that it was not ready for prime time (and still isn't months after the 2024 PHB launched). They should have had a plan B that they could have pivoted to at least a year ahead of time if they weren't hitting certain development milestones with the 2024 Sheet/Beacon project.  Instead they continued on and pretended like everything was great.  It makes trusting Roll20 staff/plans for the future difficult. -Adam
