Guided by a flash of magical insight, you make one attack with the weapon used in the spell’s casting. The attack uses your spellcasting ability for the attack and damage rolls instead of using Strength or Dexterity.
Clicking on a an equipped weapon and then clicking the true strike Beyond 20 button rolls the attack and damage dice for the spell, correctly using the spellcasting ability for the true strike damage bonus, but incorrectly using the weapon's ability score + proficiency for the attack AND adding an extra damage bonus for the weapon's ability score.
Example from my character: A level 5 cleric who has true strike from magic initiate feat attacks with a plain 1d6 mace. Str +2, Wis +5, proficiency +3. Using the roll method above, it rolls 1d20+5 (+2 str, +3 proficiency) for the attack roll, and (1d6+2 [from str]) + (1d6+5[from wis]) The correct calculation should be 1d20+8(+5wis, +3 proficiency) for attack, (1d6+5[from wis])+(1d6)
I fear it's only a matter of time (if it hasn't happened already) before dndbeyond starts to actively sabotage beyond20 in an attempt to promote their own VTT.

We can’t help you with Beyond 20. You’ll need to discuss that with them.
Need help with D&D Beyond? Come ask in the official D&D server on Discord: https://discord.gg/qWzGhwBjYr
They've said they need API access again to fully fix everything.
We know that isn't happening for obvious reasons.

Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
