As my friends an I are rockies on this hobbie, DnDBeyon is amazing to create the character sheets without mistakes, but sometimes we still wonder from where a number comes from. Usually a quick look at the manuals or an internet search solves the issue, but not always.
For example it took me a while to figure out why a paladin lvl 2 with a longsword deals +5 damage while barbarian at higher level with the same sword deals less damage. It's because of Dueling, which adds +2! I'm pretty sure this is obvious for a lot of you but we forgot about Dueling and took us a while to figure out.
is there a way that dndbeyond can show where the +5 damage comes from? (and the hit dc, etc. )

You can generally click/tap any feature and it'll give you a breakdown of where all the mods come from.

For the most part they do. It wouldn't hurt to do it for more values though.
Yes for some numbers is more clear. Maybe I should have been more explicit, would be note to see where the hit and damage modifiers come from.
