I am trying to input my manually rolled character into D&D Beyond. The character is a Forest Gnome, but I am not finding Forest Gnome as an option on the site, only Rock and Deep. But when I click on the Deep Gnome description it mentions that Forest and Rock Gnomes are the most common. How do I get to the Forest Gnome selection so I can accurately enter my character as it is?
Forest Gnome is found in the PHB. You'll need to either own the subrace itself - the whole PHB - or have either one shared with you via content sharing in a campaign.
The reason you can see Rock and Deep Gnomes is because the Rock Gnome is in the Basic Rules and Deep Gnome is in the Elemental Evil Player's Companion. Both of which are free. The others aren't free.
Oh Ok.. I own the physical copy of the PHB, 5e. But in order to use what is in there, for character creation on D&D B, I have to buy the electronic copy through D&D B?
You can either repurchase the whole book, just a portion (eg the subrace package from the PHB) or just the singular subrace you want. You can also use the homebrew tools to recreate it for free. You'd use another gnome subrace as a template, and then make the adjustments based on the printed version you have to hand.
Make the character in the campaign where the content sharing is enabled.

Hello All,
I am trying to input my manually rolled character into D&D Beyond. The character is a Forest Gnome, but I am not finding Forest Gnome as an option on the site, only Rock and Deep. But when I click on the Deep Gnome description it mentions that Forest and Rock Gnomes are the most common. How do I get to the Forest Gnome selection so I can accurately enter my character as it is?
Thank you!

Great! Thank you!
I have the PHB shared with me but I'm still not seeing the forest gnome. Please help.
