Couldn't find anything in the forums on this so I hope I'm not duplicating.
The PHB spellcasting info for Bards states "You can cast any bard spell you know as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag." However, despite having selected a spell with the ritual tag (Unseen Servant), the spell description doesn't indicate the ritual aspect and casting it in DDB still consumes a spell slot. (I know for my wizard character, this is not the case and ritual spell descriptions and casting mechanics are as expected.)
Just don't click the Cast button, and add 10 minutes to the casting time. Wizards only show those Ritual spells in their Spells section because they can have non-prepared ritual spells in their spellbook, which doesn't apply to other spellcasting classes (unless they have the Ritual Caster feat or some other class feature granting spells that are only cast as rituals.)

Ah, so just handle it the old fashioned way? Certainly doable, though I'm surprised that DDB with all the wonderful ways it handles various mechanics and the calculations and other details behind them doesn't account for this.
No matter; it is what it is.
Thanks for the reply!

Is this a bug or am I missing a setting or something? My bard's character page link is https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/fiatnix/characters/49934368.
Thanks!
