Hey I’ve recently made it to a level 11 Lore Bard but haven’t been able to select the spell Holy Weapon as one of my magical secrets. I assume it’s a programming error in D&D Beyond since the rules, as far as I can tell, are meant for me to take any spell form any class. If I’m reporting in the wrong place I’d love to know. Thanks :)
That spell is contained in Xanathar’s Guide and as such will not be available for use unless you have purchased that book, or at least that spell, for this website.
Other issues: You are an 11th level character, but not at least a 10th level Lore Bard. The Magical Secret you get at 6th level as a Lore Bard will only let you take up to 3rd level spells.
You are in a campaign that has all the content unlocked, but the character you are attempting to make isn’t in that campaign with the content unlocked. So you have access to all content to read, but only characters inside that campaign have access to carte blanche character creation.
I am an 11th level Lore Bard and I double checked again and there are for sure Xanathar spells I have access to.
So again, I really think this is a D&DB problem unless I'm missing something.
I’m honestly not sure. I tried making a character on my account with all the same things as yours, down to feats/etc and it allows the selection of Holy Weapon.
What happens if you get another campaign invite link and just create another test character? Does that character have access to Holy Weapon? I went through every character in the Monday Funday campaign and off rip I didn’t see anyone that had any Xanathar specific spell memorized, only ones that were listed as being in the Elemental Evil Companion. These were given out for free, and eventually reprinted in Xanathars Officially, but some are specifically only in Xanathar, like Holy Weapon.
Maybe this is the case?
In any case, if you own the content or a person in your group officially owns Xanathar and they have a Master Tier Sub, then this should be a support ticket if the above isn’t the case.
Well cool that at least I know I’m missing something. I’m not very great with technology despite being a 20 something lol. Thanks for the help wether I figure it out or not. I really just wanted to make sure it was a problem only for me so other boards out there can use the spell.

I do have access to all of it.
As always, can you link your character?
