I recently made a character and I'm wanting to add a sub-class onto my character but can't seem to figure it out. If you anyone knows how to do it, please can you help me out. That'd be amazing if you could.
On the Class tab of the character builder. Y’know when you go to your characters, it displays each character and below the name and image it says View, Edit, etc.? Click on Edit and it will take you to the character builder for that character. Cycle through the subheadings if necessary and then click on the one labeled “Class.”
Once you’re on the class tab you’ll see a bunch of features listed beneath your chosen class. Find the feature with the same name as what they call subclasses for your class. So if you’re playing a fighter you would look for a feature named “Fighter Archetype,” or if you’re playing a cleric you would look for one named “Divine Domain,” etc. click on that feature and you will see a dropdown where you can select your chosen subclass from the options it offers you. If you don’t know what they call subclasses for the class you’re playing, you can easily look that up by checking the details page for that class under the Game Rules tab, or by checking in either the Basic Rules or the PHB under the Sources Tab.
Remember, some but not all classes get their subclass at 1st level, some others get theirs at 2nd level, but most get their subclass at 3rd level. If you haven’t reached the required level for that class yet, you’ll have to keep playing before you can select subclass. You can look up what level you need to be to choose a subclass for your character at the same time you look up what the subclasses are called for the class you’re using.
If you're trying to add a homebrew subclass that you created, make sure that 1. you have homebrew turned on/red/right in the character preferences, and 2. that your monk is at least third level.
I was looking for the subclasses for ranger and i noticed that there was none, i am lv 4 and want to subclass as the fey wander
Do you own or have access to the book which it's in?
If it's shared, are you making the character in the campaign it's shared in?
Which book is it that you have? If you have it from whichever old book it's in, but you picked the new ranger, you can't see the old subclass because they updated it. To use the old subclass, turn on 2014 core in the character builder and scroll down in class selection.
Wow...homebrew subclasses still buggy after all these years? Geez. I'm trying to get my new Cleric domains up and none of them are showing up. I've tried what everyone else has in the previous threads of "how to add homebrew subclasses to characters." I got nothing. All my other home-brew stuff is working except subclass.
For Rogue, only the Thief subclass is available for free. For any others, you’d need to either purchase the book that contains that subclass, or have your character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you.

Hello,
Can monks add subclass with out paying. I created one in home-brew but I can't add it.
If you're trying to add a homebrew subclass that you created, make sure that 1. you have homebrew turned on/red/right in the character preferences, and 2. that your monk is at least third level.

There’s two different Cleric classes: 2014 and 2024. Are your subclass and your character both set to the same one?

I can't find a subclass for Rouge. Why is this? Do I need to pay?
For Rogue, only the Thief subclass is available for free. For any others, you’d need to either purchase the book that contains that subclass, or have your character assigned to a campaign where that book is shared with you.
