Thanks in advance for reading this / any advice that is given
I am trying to build a new character for a new campaign I will be joining; I do not have access to the books (here) I have the PHB and Tashas a physical copies plus I use several online resources. I was told by more than one person that I am able to simple custom build the character in beyond to get around not having access to the books (and not having access to the content within) .
I see that I can create custom attacks (physical and spell) though unless Im doing it wrong I seem to only be able to find them under "actions" which , while not perfect I guess is workable (unless Im doing something wrong...which is likely)
Also, I cannot seem to create a custom feat (even if I wanted to just an existing feat in a book)
There are more things like this, but you get the idea...
I appreciate any advice... feel free to explain things as you would to a toddler / puppy... thats about my current level of comprehension :)
What you're talking bout as "custom building" is what on D&D Beyond is called using the homebrew tools to recreate content from the book instead of purchasing content. There's a whole subforum here on the how-tos of that. I'd recommend checking it out, and looking at the pinned how to guide. If you can't find the guidance you're looking for, the folks who are regularly on that subforum are very helpful:
