Missing Weapon Double-bladed Scimitar

Type:  Martial Melee Weapon  Cost:  100 gp  Weight:  6 lbs The double-bladed scimitar is the signature weapon of Valenar elves. A haft of fine wood supports a long, curving blade on either end. Forged with techniques honed over centuries, these blades are strong, sharp, and remarkably light. Each scimitar is a masterpiece, and as a result the double-bladed scimitar is an expensive weapon (100 gp) — few though ever have the opportunity to purchase one. A Valenar blade in the hands of a non-elf is generally assumed to have been stolen or looted from a fallen foe, and a Valenar elf might feel entitled to demand its return or challenge the bearer to prove they’re worthy to wield it. Special.  If you attack with a double-bladed scimitar as part of the  Attack  action on your turn, you can use a bonus action immediately after to make a melee attack with it. This attack deals  1d4  slashing damage on a hit, instead of  2d4 .

Hi Sanctanox,  Can you elaborate on the problem?  You state the weapon is missing, but not what it is missing from. 
The free Baisc Rules include this weapon in DND beyond

Unfortunately that is still not enough information.  Which character sheet are you using? Based on the reference to DnD Beyond I can guess it is either D&D 5e 2024 by Roll20 or D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20, but you need to specify which one.  And what the source is, Free Basic Rules 2024 or Free Basic Rules 2014.  Edit: according to my research this weapon initially comes from the sourcebook "Eberron - Rising from the Last War". If Wizards of the Coast has decided to include it for free on DnD Beyond that is their right to do so. They own it.  But that does not mean Roll20 can add it to their version of the Free Basic Rules. Roll20 is only allowed to use as the Free Basic Rules what Roll20's contract with WotC allows.  With that said, it is also not in the D&D 2024 player's handbook, which means that it is likely not going to be in the Free Basic Rules 2024 as that appears to contain nothing that is not in the Player's Handbook 2024 (and DMG 2024, and soon Monster Manual 2024). The Roll20 version of the Free Basic Rules 2014 is effectively a renamed SRD. I cannot find any reference to the Double-Bladed Scimitar in the Wizards of the Coast version of the SRD (either OGL or Creative Commons). Therefore it could not be in the Roll20 version, or anyone else's.  So my guess, Wizards decided to add this content to DnD Beyond for free. Doesn't mean everyone else can do that. 
Hi Sanctonox, adding to what Gauss has said, I can confirm the weapon does exist in basic equipment on D&DBeyond since I can find it and I don't own anything for that site.  On Roll20 I own Eberron Rising from the Last War and the scimitar comes up as a reference from that sourcebook, but not as a weapon I can drag from the compendium: Obviously you are free to drag any weapon on to a character sheet and mod it to meet the dble scimitar's stats.  As it stands I believe that is your easiest workaround
I searched in which compendium the Weapon is included and im not able to find it either. I guess it was simply forgotten to include. I guess tehy simply forgot to make it a dropable weapon.  The double-bladed scimitar was introduced in  Eberron  and since then its been a powerful option.

It is in the "Eberron - Rising from the Last War" compendium resource.  It is not a free option because Roll20 is not Wizards of the Coast (WotC). WotC can make it a free option on their website (DnD Beyond) if they want. Roll20 is not able to do that without WotC putting it in the SRD (it isn't) or giving Roll20 permission to do so. 
I mean its not a drag and drop able weapon. It just included in the compendium as such like he said. Its only written inside as a text. You start to become somewhat annyoing because you dont even read the post of Simon G. posted. Your post arent helpful and not true.

You stated you were not able to find it, and you stated it was forgotten to be included. You then stated they forgot to make it a droppable weapon.  Not having any comment on the droppable weapon portion I responded to the not being able to find it and it being forgotten to be included portions of your statement.  With that said, it is in the rules section, not the items section. That is why it is not drag/droppable.  If you'd like to let Roll20 know about this I suggest filing a bug report via the Help Center .
