I’ve created a character as a level 4 Ranger and wanted to use the Gloomstalker sub-class from XGtE. I own it, and have for a few years. I’m making a Ranger with the new 2924 rules, but when I go to select a sub-class, it doesn’t show Gloomstalker, just Hunter, Horizon Walker, Monstar Slayer and Swarmkeeper.
Any ideas / help please! I’m due to play tomorrow evening!
That subclass got replaced in the 2024 PHB, so you can only use that version of the subclass with the 2024 character sheet. The ZGtE version is only compatible with the 2014 version of the sheet.
I tried making my character from scratch, using the 2024 basic rules and my XGtE in the character builder app, but still can’t select Gloom Stalker. It will only let me choose it if I use the 2014 Ranger class, not the 2024 Ranger.

Gloom Stalker is not in the 2024 Free Rules, only in the 2024 Player's Handbook. To use the 2024 version of it, you need to own the 2024 Player's Handbook or have access to it through content sharing in a campaign.

Correct. I was not clear in my last post, and have since edited it. The new 2024 ranger can only use the new 2024 Gloomstalker, the XGtE Gloomstalker is only compatible with the 2014 ranger.
I am having this same issue, and one of the players in the campaign owns the 2024 Player's Handbook and has an account that allows content sharing. However, it's not the DM that has the digital version. I am only seeing the Hunter subclass still. Shouldn't the player's content sharing still work, since we are all in the same campaign?

Make sure you're actually creating the character in the campaign. You have to actually join the character to the campaign (it's okay if not finished yet) before that option will show up.

Also, check your entitlements, and try having the person with the master subscription turn content sharing off and back on.

Hi all,

I am having the same problem. I own xgte, but can't create a gloomstalker even with legacy content activated...
Make sure you’ve selected the Legacy version of the Ranger class on the Class tab. You will also need to turn on the Expanded Rules toggle.
