As the title says, I have made a new character for an upcoming campaign. First time I'm really gonna use Dndbeyond for my character but it seems that I cannot use anything beyond the "basics". I had to ask my DM to add Sharpshooter to my feats for example.. Also the backgrounds are limited.
Will it be like this for the entire campaign or does my character have to level first? It's kinda weird that I cannot use anything, my DM has everything and everything shared.
In order to take advantage of content sharing, the character must be in the campaign. So if you haven't added it into the campaign using the invite link from your DM, then the character doesn't have access to the shared content yet. Make sure the character is inside the campaign (even if you haven't finished building them yet) and if you still don't have access to the content then, have your DM try turning the sharing on and off again to reset it.
Let's see, just to confirm: your PC is in the campaign, content sharing has been turned on for that campaign, no one else in the campaign is experiencing the issue? Is there anyone else in the campaign who also doesn't own stuff? Just to make sure that the reason no one else is noticing it is secretly because they own the content in question.
Well at the moment I'm the only one in that campaign. It's a campaign that'll start in december. I've already made the base of my character but yeah.. (life is for the quick haha)
So I cannot say if other people have access to it. But content sharing has been turned on. But maybe there's a limit on how many campaigns the DM can share content on? Though it says content sharing enabled. So it should work afaik?
There is a limit (5), but if the DM had hit their limit, then they wouldn't be able to turn it on for this campaign, the button to do it just wouldn't be there.
Hi there,
As the title says, I have made a new character for an upcoming campaign. First time I'm really gonna use Dndbeyond for my character but it seems that I cannot use anything beyond the "basics". I had to ask my DM to add Sharpshooter to my feats for example.. Also the backgrounds are limited.

Some help would be nice!
Thanks in advance,

My character is in the campaign, though it was created before the campaign was. I'll ask the DM to turn sharing off and on, see if it works.
Still doesn't work though. Should I get in touch with support on this one?

Try bumping your character up 1 class level and back down, and then see if you can access the shared content.

I tried this, didn't have any effect sadly. The problem still persists.
