The Firbolg is a race that was published in Volo's Guide to Monsters. In order to utilize that licensed content on a character you would need to do one of the following:
Purchase "Volo's Guide to Monsters" on D&D Beyond, unlocking all of the races and monsters from that book.
Purchase JUST the Firbolg race from that title -- which will also decrease the cost of the rest of the book by the amount paid.
Create a character inside of a campaign where another user has Content Sharing turned on, and at least one user in the campaign has done step 1 or 2.
Use our homebrew tools to enter in the Firbolg race for your own personal use, using a physical copy of the book you own as a guide.
Try syncing your entitlements: tap or click on your username in the upper right of this page (or under the menu button that looks like several stacked lines on mobile); choose Account, then the Marketplace tab. Under "Account Entitlements," if it says you need to sync, click the sync button. While on that page, scroll down and make sure that 1) VOlo's Guide to Monsters appears under "Current Product Licenses" and that 2) you didn't purchase just the compendium only version, which does not include access to the content in the character builder.
How do I purchase JUST the firbolg race? I mean, literally, I can't figure out how to purchase specific content without purchasing the whole book.
You can go to Volo's Guide to Monsters, which is the first title they were published in, and scroll down to the 'Additional purchase options'! Once in there, you'll have the option to go to the Race options section, and select the Firbolg race option. Hope that helps!

Oh my Gosh. Thank you so much! I just kept seeing the full price book when I clicked on it and I never scrolled down, expecting an easier way to find it. Face, meet palm. Thank you again.

Volo's was superseded by Monsters of the Multiverse, so it's not available for purchase any more if that's where you're looking, it might also be hidden in listings (I don't use the app). If you want Firbolg, the new version is in MotM.
If you purchase a monthly or annual subscription, do you still have to pay for the Firbolg race or are they included in the subscription?
NO content is included in a subscription. Hero Tier subscriptions provide the following benefits:
Unlimited characters (free tier is limited to 6)
Ability to add public homebrew to your collection to use on your characters/in the encounter builder/etc.
unlimited encounters (free tier is limited; I don't remember to how many
"subscriber perks": varies by month occasionally digital dice, more often backgrounds or the like; active only while you are subscribed
Master Tier adds the ability to share purchased content with others in your campaign (limit of 5 campaigns for content sharing; you can have more campaigns than that, just can share content with more than 5 at a time)
Help. Firbolg just went missing. A friend bought the book with Firbolg ages ago, we were able to make a Firbolg less than a week ago and cannot now. We have checked purchase content and syncing.
Lover of the Firbolg Druid . . . is there any way to create one on D&D Beyond?

Why after purchase of "Volo's Guide to Monsters" do I still not have the capability to build a character with the race of firbolg.

Volo's guide to monsters seems to be no longer available. Is there another way to create a, firbolg and use it in the D&d Deyond app?
They're in Monsters of the Multiverse
Thank you
Is this option still available? I have been all over the site and app trying to find the “Additional Purchase Options “ and I can’t find it.
It's no longer available. If you want part of a book, you must buy the whole book
Thank you!
