Thank you for your post - we appreciate people taking the time to give us feedback.
During the beta test of D&D Beyond, we'll only be including content that is freely available from Wizards of the Coast, including the D&D 5th edition SRD , D&D 5th edition Basic Rules & Elemental Evil Companion. The beta will not include additional content from a Commercially Released Book or Supplement.
All of the remaining published content from the PHB, DMG, MM and other D&D 5th edition books will be added to D&D Beyond for product release - the cost for accessing this material has not yet been announced.
The Player's Handbook is not the same as the Basic Rules.
Check the link and you'll see what the Basic Rules are - a cut down version of the D&D 5th edition game, made available for free. It includes only one subclass for each class and one subrace for each race.
You'll also see that it doesn't include Forest Gnomes.
Forest Gnomes are cool though, so I understand why you would want your character on D&D Beyond to be one.
That's ok, we're totally on board with that!
You can purchase the Player's Handbook for use here on D&D Beyond, or you can scroll down that page and purchase just the Forest Gnome race.
I find it strange that there is an entry for deep gnome but not one for forest gnome.

Is there an ETA on when ALL of the content will be available?
A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?
Thanks for the update. I was just going to post you were missing the Forrest Gnome on the character builder.
I was hoping to beta test with my only active character/session right now, but I rolled forest gnome... dang it.
Forest Gnome IS in the basic players handbook...

The PHB content is now available but still no Forest Gnome?
Forest Gnome is available, but as with everything from the PHB, you have to purchase it to unlock it here.
