I know this is off topic, but I am new to this site. I am wanting to make a forest gnome character. But in the character generator it only has the stone and deep sub races. Please help.
Another time, pleas start a new thread. It sounds like you have not purchased anything here and are using the free content. Only material in the Basic Rules, SRD (System Reference Document) and the Elemental Evil Players Companion are available for free here. (All of these resources were released by WOTC as free PDFs).

Still an issue from over two years ago? Do I want to spend more money on this platform to find out how many more years old bugs are a problem?
This is a deeply rooted, low urgency problem. It will take considerable reworking of the character sheet code to get this working as intended. DDB has recently finally done some work on character sheet code. Once they get the new bugs that caused fixed, they might be able to work on these minor years old issues (I don't call them bugs, because missing functionality is not a bug. That which was never built can't be broken). 99.0% of the time, the character sheet does what it is supposed to. About 1 in 10 characters will have 1 of these minor issues and they can be worked around.
Is this still a bug after 2+ years? I created a forest gnome wizard with the school of illusion arcane tradition. I have the minor illusion cantrip on my character sheet twice (once from being a forest gnome and once from choosing school of illusion) with no option of replacing the second minor illusion cantrip as per the D&D rules.
As a Forest Gnome Illusionist (level 2), I get 3 cantrips as a wizard (at first level), and the Natural Illusionist skill of the Forest Gnome grants Minor Illusion, then at second level as an Illusionist it grants Minor Illusion unless I already have it in which case I should get to chose another cantrip, however I can not pick the 5th cantrip, it counts minor illusion twice in my cantrips list.
I have a forest gnome wizard. Gets minor illusion as a Cantrip as a racial feature (Natural Illusionist). At level 2, Is select schooli of illusion. This choice adds minor illusion or should allow you to pick another Cantrip if you have it already. But because I already have it from the reaviak feature racial feature, I should be able to learn any other Cantrip, but the add spell option in the character Creator won't allow me to add a 4th Cantrip.
Bumping this, as I have just hit the same issue as well.
Don't just bump posts without something to add (it is against forum guidelines).
Have you done the work around?
Just managed to get the workaround going, but what an incredibly tedious thing to have to find out and do.
I shouldn't have to research and fix dumb bugs like this, 3 years after they've been reported...

Note this also occurs if you create a High Elf or Half Elf (High Elf variant) with the Minor Illusion as you bonus cantrip.
At least with those, you can go back into the builder and change the cantrip chosen in the High Elfe/High Half Elf Variant feature.

D&D Beyond StaffHey there - this has been passed along to the dev team. No ETA on a fix though.
In the meantime, you can homebrew a feat or. Magic item to give you an additional cantrip.

Thank you for the feedback. Will use the suggestions provided.
I have a forest gnome wizard. Gets minor illusion as a Cantrip as a racial feature (Natural Illusionist). At level 2, Is select schooli of illusion. This choice adds minor illusion or should allow you to pick another Cantrip if you have it already. But because I already have it from the reaviak feature racial feature, I should be able to learn any other Cantrip, but the add spell option in the character Creator won't allow me to add a 4th Cantrip.
Also, it actually adds minor illusion twice, as opposed to recognizing it's already there and providing the opportunity to pick another.
This is a known bug for 3 years now.

Ok so why won't they fix it? it happens for a lot of the other content.
They are currently in the middle of a massive systemwide overhaul. Been over a year and a half so far and I think they’re between 60%-70% done.
