I was originally trying to add a silvered shortsword to a character inventory. It appears in a list of magic items, but not when using Manage Inventory. No idea why.
I gave up and tried to add a 2014 shortsword (we are playing Strahd) and I would just add a note that it was silvered. Only the 2024 version shows up, even when selecting only 2014 Basic Rules. It has the Vex property.
What am I doing wrong here? This is very frustrating. It’s a shortsword.
Just add the Shortsword you see. It's functionally identical for any 2014 character anyway, since a character needs a rule that allows them to use the weapon's mastery property (Vex).
After you add the weapon, click on it and open the Customize section in the sidebar. There's an option in there to mark it as Silvered.

As a note, if you have the 2024 Core Rules turned off in your character sheet, the item labeled Silvered Shortsword won't appear because it only got a separate entry in the 2024 content. The method spamandtuna mentioned with the checkbox was THE method for 2014.

I was hoping to avoid giving the new player items with extraneous rules on it. Thanks for the responses!
