Bug? Cannot select Patron for Warlock over than Fiend (SRD) (after multi-classing into Sorlock)

1604085646

Edited 1604260805
[SOLVED] I could not get Charactermancer to proper add a Warlock to my 5th level Sorcerer on level change to 6.  I could add the multi class warlock but not make it level 1and affect the warlock over the sorcerer.  So my DM add warlock 1 to me. But now I do not have the warlock features set, including Patron, so I tried the editor to add them, and I cannot select any other patron except Fiend in the drop down: It is clear in the JS that the editor is not loading any other pacts: <select class="sheet-subclass2 sheet-choice-showing" name="comp_class2_subclass">               <option value="" data-i18n="choose">Choose</option>             <option class="sheet-compendium-opt" value="Subclasses:The Fiend">The Fiend (SRD)</option></select> Do I have to have DM change all of this, or is there a trick? Thanks!

The DM needs to have relevant compendium(s) (e.g. Xanathar's, PHB) shared for the game you are in. Looks like they either don't own the content or just haven't shared them with your game. 
Thanks I will check with the DM, but I know for other levels I was able to make it work.  And other players too, but that might have been a different game/campaign.
Hmmm I just found this post  that showed the same thing, so maybe it is a bug?
[SOLVED] It is the compendium issue, it seems roll20 offers single defaults for subclasses without indicated it is a default. I did a test on my own test game where I am DM (though I own no compendiums), and even on a brand new warlock it only shows the Fiend for a subclass,  which also matches what comes in in search for category:subclass.  Which is just odd, I would expect no subclasses or all the standard ones.   I can build .. It seems without the compendiums Roll20 offers a default subclass for at some of the classes (Warlock (Fiend), Sorcerer (Dragonic)) (which is why I picked Dragonic when I built my character, me having little clue about 5e).  That was probably good for getting me going when I was starting, but confusing long term.  So weird to have some content (like spells) and not others.  I actually have been feeling stupid for not knowing about the other sorcerer options after researching, but now I see relying on roll20 was my mistake.

Hiram said:  So weird to have some content (like spells) and not others Roll20 provides free only what WotC have made free in their 5E SRD. It's more or less the same content that is available in their free DnD5E basic Rules. That is intentionally not as complete as buying the full Player Handbook.
That makes sense.  I wish there was a visual clue on things like the subclass choice that indicates the limit.  I would not even mind a link to a page with an explanation and a sales pitch for the compendiums. This does explain why searching through the in game info sometimes gives me answers and sometimes a link to compendiums, seemingly when searching for the same material.
