Sorry if i'm being dumb, this is my first time using D&D beyond because of corona,
I'm trying to re-create my level 9 bard and add all of her spells, I've added 15 so far and I have 2 more to add (non custom spells btw, all listed there) and it won't let me. The learn option is greyed out and I can only add one if I remove one first which is not what I want to do.
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious but an answer would be appreciated
A 9th level bard should know 3 cantrips, and 12 leveled spells, which equals 15. Is your bard a lore bard? If so, the spells you learn from Additional Magical Secrets should be added on the Class tab of the Character Builder (aka edit mode) in the Class Features section, not the Spells section.
Im under the impression that I should have a lv 5th spell according to the online guides, but, I am still very new to d&d and haven't played a bard before so any advice is welcomed.
I see what's happening. You've made a classic new player misunderstanding.
Spell slots do not define spells known. As a level 9 bard, you can know 12 leveled spells and have 14 spell slots with which to cast them. Slots are used only at time of casting and you can cast the same spell multiple times using a different slot of equal or higher level each time.
Ty, I know that as i've played spellcasters before but I can't work out why I can't add a 5th level spell to my sheet (or my last 4th level spell) to my sheet,? Like I might have misused the character creator somehow as I haven;t used this site before so that's what I'm struggling with

Because you know 12/12 spells. If you remove a spell, you can add a level 5 spell.
OK I finally understand, sorry I didn't realise about spell limits for that since I'm still new to it (2nd campaign !!) but thank you for explaining it, I will remove lower level spells to make room for my higher up ones!

Shes a college of whisper bard,

My issue is that I can't add all of my spells to the page, I'm not sure if I;ve misused the website somehow and I can't work out what I've done wrong
Because you know 12/12 spells. If you remove a spell, you can add a level 5 spell.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU
