Is it possible to make a magic weapon which gets a bonus to damage rolls only, not attack rolls, and have it show up as part of the collapsed tooltip in the character sheet. Currently I have it added as a modifier for a bonus of the weapons damage type, but this ends up only showing in the expanded tooltip for the weapon, as opposed to the damage roll with modifiers like a flat "Bonus - Magic" would do.
After some more playing, I did find that if I add the flat magic bonus, then add a negative attack bonus of the same amount, it shows properly. So for those who may read this and are interested, this is a temporary workaround.

D&D Beyond FoundersNot currently. What you're already doing is the correct way to add this damage.
When the new character sheet is live, the additional damage will show in a much more visible manner.

D&D Beyond FoundersA bit convoluted indeed, but good work on figuring that!

Unfortunately, the negative attack bonus is applied to all weapons of the selected type, so this isn't great for dual wielders.
