I begrudgingly purchased the digital version of the PHB despite owning a physical copy because I saw on another thread that you had to own a digital copy in order to get the character sheet to work beyond the free version. Doing this, however, still did not unlock anything for a third-level fighter for Martial Archetype other than Champion. After reading through this thread, it looks like Battle Master and Eldrich Knight don't show up... as intended? Is that accurate? Or am I still doing something wrong?
Did you purchase the 2014 PHB or the 2024 PHB?
The behavior you're describing is what happens if you use the 2024 version of the Fighter class without owning the 2024 PHB. You only have access to the one subclass that's in the 2024 Free Rules. You have to purchase the 2024 PHB to use the others.
If you purchased the 2014 PHB, then you can switch your class to the 2014 version to have access to all the subclasses from the 2014 PHB. Make sure "2014 Core Rules" is checked on the Home tab of the character builder, and change your class to the 2014 Fighter on the Class tab. You may need to scroll down to find it.
Definitely the 2024. I even went back and checked before responding. The character sheet had all of the options ticked for sources (including 2014), so I unticked them all and tried again. Then it removed Champion and the only one available was Gunslinger for Critical Role. I feel like I'm doing something wrong.
And seeing if it says that your entitlements are in sync. If it says they're not, click the button there to sync them and then try again.
I checked that too and it says I'm in sync. :(
If you scroll down to "Current Product Licenses", is "Player's Handbook (2024)" in the list?
It is - along with my other purchases and whatever "January 2025 Subscriber Perks" is.
Mostly out of ideas at this point and you might need to put in an actual support request, but one last thing: did you start making this character before you purchased the 2024 PHB? If so, you might try starting a new one from scratch.

Bug Report - Shield Master feat Interpose Shield does not show up on the character sheet as a reaction.
How is this still not fixed, yet? First reported Sept 23rd and Interpose Shield from the Shield Master feat still isn't showing as a reaction on the character sheet. It also doesn't even show up under the Features and Traits part of the character sheet under Shield Master.
It is weird to me that there seems to be a strong push towards digital gaming, but they don't want to make their primary digital gaming medium (D&D Beyond) as accurate and bug-free as possible. If there are enough bugs, people will decide they are better off saving their money and doing it all themselves.

I've switched to Myth-Weavers for new in-use character sheets. Too much clutter from unwanted 5.24 rules overlapping onto my paid content, including making monks and lances do incorrect damage due to lazy programming. It takes a bit more work, but it's free!
It's been something like 6 months since the new handbook came out, and the warlock still has access to only a tiny fraction of the invocations on the website, a lot of the missing ones being primarily expanded rules invocations, or ones that were supposed to be in the new handbook, is there any ETA on when that'll be fixed?

Absolutely nothing since September. They don't even announce when they fix things, much less give an ETA on when we can expect fixes.

I heard somewhere it was a lot harder of a fix than they were expecting and was going to take a lot of extra work recoding them but I can't find where I saw that. Either way it has been months so I am worried it has fallen to the back burner or been completely forgotten. Best hope is that after the Monster Manual comes out they might revisit old bugs and that has just been consuming all the energy.

While the cantrip-linked invocations are still bugged (because you're supposed to be able to select any cantrip and they automatically go to Eldritch Blast), every single invocation in the 2024 PHB shows up in the list. Nobody official has ever stated that the expanded rules invocations apply to the 2024 Warlock.
I can't change the cantrip for Agonizing Blast for the warlock, it's locked on Eldritch Blast, which my Warlock didn't even take. WTF
Ran into this as well. Adding on some additional details...
I don't know if this is relevant to the nature of the bug, but the option on the invocation dropdown menu even reads "Agonizing Blast (Eldritch Blast)," rather than just "Agonizing Blast." There's also no dropdown menu or anything to select any other cantrip.
The new Agonizing Blast can't be selected more than once (contrary to its description). Yes, I know this would be redundant when it's locked on Eldritch Blast, but I'm hoping this detail might help track down the root of the problem.
Hopefully someone fixes this soon...

Is there a plan to add the remaining eldritch invocations? I really want tomb of levistus. Thank you.

At this point is there any plan to fix any of the bugs that still exist? Or does dndbeyond just not care?
Hasbro haven't even fulfilled pre-buyout promises.
I have a hunch what might cause things to be "fixed", if at all.
So let's hope the maintenance fixes at least some of these.

Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.

I purchased the Digital 2024 PHB. The license is synced. How do I read it on the website?
Thanks
On the website, look under the Sources menu at the top for "Dungeon Master's Guide (2024)" or just go here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/dmg-2024
On the mobile app, it should appear in the list of books on the Library tab.

The snippet for the Dueling Fighting Style Feat has a typo. It reads:
"You gain +2 bonus to damage with one-handed Melee weapons when holding no other weapons."
It's missing an "a" before the "+2 bonus".

We're now months later and Devil's Sight still doesn't show up under senses on the character sheet.
Ray of Enfeeblement is still bugged on the character sheet. It's still showing as an attack and it should be a CON save.
