So I started a campaign and had not purchased the players handbook, I have now but I still cannot select those options for EXISTING characters, it works if I create a NEW character?
Is that by design? do the owners of those characters also have to purchase the PHB online?
first off, welcome to D&D Beyond and thank you for purchasing the Player's Handbook.
That purchase allows you to use the content within it for your own characters.
It sounds as if you're running a campaign and want the other players in that campaign to be able to use content from your Player's Handbook.
That's totally doable! You need a Master Subscription to enable content sharing for the campaign - this will allow all content unlocked by members of the campaign to be shared with all of the other members. If someone in the campaign purchases Xanathar's Guide, then everyone else benefits from that as well.
