I haven't been able to see/modify my subclass spells since the dice rolling beta change.
I deleted the sublcass and tried again but that didn't work. I logged out of my devices, deleted history/cache, that didn't work.
Basically, I made a copy of the wild magic origin so I can see all the spells the character has learned through our campaign, since our DM ignores the sorcerer's spell limit.
Right now I only have the dimension door spell available in the subclass.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I purchased the digital PHB a while back. Here's what I see.
Homebrew class: Sorcere Under BASIC INFORMATION spell casting ability is CHA, can cast spells is set to yes, spell prepare type is set to level, knows all spells is set to yes and additional specific spells shows dimension door. Under CLASS FEATURES there's Sorcere, and SPELLS has dimension door. When I edit the spell the spell dimension door is called, level divisor set to 2, consumes spell slot set to yes, counts as known spell set to yes, always prepared set to yes, available at character level set to 1, and the IS INFINITE checkbox is marked.

For classes with no innate spellcasting (Barbarian/Fighter/Monk/Rogue) - make sure to set this to NO unless you are adding spellcasting through the subclass, at which point you should set this to YES. If you leave it blank, it may cause issues.
For classes that do have innate spellcasting (all the other ones) - make sure to set this to NO or leave it blank, as you aren't adding spellcasting.
Also note that, for a subclass to add spellcasting to a class that doesn't normally have it, you will need to add a subclass feature SPELLCASTING.
Just so I'm on the same page - is this an issue where you can't see those spells being added to your character's spell list automatically, or is it that it's the only spell appearing to begin with?
I don't see dimension door on my character's spells list.
Edit: Dimension door is the only spell currently available in the subclass. Other than heritage spells (darkness, hellish rebuke), dimension door isn't available.
Apologies for the delay in my response, but I believe I'm still missing something here... are you trying to select spells added to the list of spells for your custom subclass (and not seeing them) or are you not seeing ANY spells for your sorcerer (other than the tiefling racial spells)? Looking at your character sheet, it looks like there aren't any spells that have been added to this character sheet (which you would need to do by going to the character builder, clicking on class, then clicking on the tab for spells, then expand the list of spells underneath Add Spells).
"not seeing ANY spells for your sorcerer (other than the tiefling racial spells)?"
This.
The Sorcere subclass is selected for the character Mote. Currently, the subclass only lists one spell: Dimension Door.
Dimension Door appears under the Sorcere Basic Information page and it appears as a spell under the Sorcere class feature.
This subclass is private because I only use it to keep track of ALL the spells my sorcerer learns in the campaign and is not limited by the PHB known spells limitation for the class.
If I follow your instructions and manually enter the known spells under Character Builder > Sorcerer (Sorcere selected) > Spells, then this defeats the purpose of creating a subclass, because every time I enter a known spell I'm going to hit that 5 cantrip/10 spell sorcerer known spell limit.
Before the dice app update, I could see 39 cantrips/spells on my character sheet with this subclass.
Is it now impossible to create a subclass made specifically to keep track of all known spells?
I did some research into this, and it looks like there were a few issues - primarily that Level Divisor and "Is Infinite" were both checked. Basically, your spell mappings should look like this:
I changed it to reflect your screen shot but it didn't work.
Also, when you select "-" for COUNTS AS KNOWN SPELL, after saving changes to the subclass the "-" updates to No.
Even after selecting Yes for for COUNTS AS KNOWN SPELL, it doesn't appear in Mote's spell list.
In the past the level divisor was set to 2 so the spell would appear on your subclass for the appropriate level and IS INFINITE was checked off it would always be available after you consumed a spell slot.
My pleasure! The "Is Infinite" checkbox is meant for features such as the Ritual Caster feat, the Book of Ancient Secrets invocation, or other features that would allow you to add spells to your spell list endlessly (ie in the way that Wizards do).

Here:
Spellcasting?
This section can cause some confusion.
For classes with no innate spellcasting (Barbarian/Fighter/Monk/Rogue) - make sure to set this to NO unless you are adding spellcasting through the subclass, at which point you should set this to YES. If you leave it blank, it may cause issues.
For classes that do have innate spellcasting (all the other ones) - make sure to set this to NO or leave it blank, as you aren't adding spellcasting.
Also note that, for a subclass to add spellcasting to a class that doesn't normally have it, you will need to add a subclass feature SPELLCASTING.

Hi IamSposta. I set it to "-". Dimension door doesn't appear.
BTW in the Sorcere section for spells the required class level is 1, display order 6, and class level where options are known is 1.
Did you program any “options” into the subclass? If not that should be blank.

Can you provide a link to your sorcere homebrew subclass? You don't need to publish it in order for me or another moderator to take a look.
Yay! The cavalry has arrived. Now you can get real help instead of just my trying to troubleshoot for you.

Sooo is it a bug?

Ah! NOW I understand what you're aiming for!
I did some research into this, and it looks like there were a few issues - primarily that Level Divisor and "Is Infinite" were both checked. Basically, your spell mappings should look like this:
Let me know if the issue still occurs after that.
I changed it to reflect your screen shot but it didn't work.
Also, when you select "-" for COUNTS AS KNOWN SPELL, after saving changes to the subclass the "-" updates to No.
Even after selecting Yes for for COUNTS AS KNOWN SPELL, it doesn't appear in Mote's spell list.

Huh. Wait a minute. It's there now. I guess it took a few minutes.
Question.
I don't want to see spells scaling for higher levels. How do I turn that off?
PREFERENCES > SHOW LEVEL-SCALED SPELLS > OFF.
Thanks GPyromania!
