I am trying to build a level 5 Assassin Rogue. I have the 2014 Players handbook in my sources as purchased. However, the only subclass available is thief. Is this an issues cause I haven't bought the 2024 content?
Do you have the toggle for legacy content on?
Yes, and I have tried turning it off and on
They are in their own separate dropdown right under the 2024 Core Classes.
EDIT: Sorry, pre-coffee response was not so detailed. Looking it over, the Assassin, Thief, and Arcane Trickster are all under Legacy on the 2014 base class, and the other subclasses require the Expanded Rules to be toggled.

Thank you, that solved it. I just realized they are listed under multiple sections in Class. The UI is not intuitive.
Consider this closed.
Hello I am having a similar issue and am having trouble with the fix. I have toggled the options for legacy content on and off and can't seem to find it under the section you describe is there any way you can help?
This whole thing is confusing. Perhaps they should have came out with some videos showing step by step?
WotC want you to purchase the new version so they have locked out the option of building a legacy PHB 2014 subclass on a 2024 “core” if the PHB subclass appears in the new edition PHB.
at the moment you can use an Expanded Rules subclass from Tasha’s, Xanathars etc on a 2024 core class. Even if you own the 2014 PHB you can’t use a 2014 PHB subclass on a 2024 core. They want you to purchase the new version.
At the start of the character creation you need to have legacy content toggled and then in class you use a Legacy 2014 “basic rules” class, then your 2014 PHB subclasses will be available.
i have a similar problem, i have everything tagged on, but i cant find most legacy subclases or feats. is there any way to fix it ? google in it and i cant find a detail course of action
Turn on the "expanded rules", 'legacy', and '2014 core' toggles in the builder.
For some things, you need to be building with the legacy versions of the classes, which requires scrolling down. If you're using the updated classes, you can't use the old version of anything that got updated.
As i said Before, i have all of that marqued down but when i select for example a fighter Class i cant chose Battle Master or Eldritch Knight, just champion. Same with other Subclases. And im picking legacy fighter level 5 with stats already on and everything. With a lot of clases it happen the same
Do you own the 2014 PHB?
If it's being shared with you, are you making the character in the campaign where it's being shared?
Have you checked your entitlements?
I have the same problem with Arcane Trickster. Myself and my DM both own the 2014 PHB, it's marked as content shared in the campaign, but I can't see the subclass when creating the character.
It's kind of ridiculous to have to create my character sheet with pen and paper while both of us pay the master tier subscription.
Check you've chosen the correct base class (2014) rather than the top most class. See here for more info: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/bugs-support/mobile-beta-testing-bugs-support/211094-dndbeyond-not-allowing-2nd-level-druid-to-choose?comment=10
But it appears you can no longer buy any of these sub classes? If you didn't own them already? Tough luck?
As far as I know, the 2014 core books are still on sale.
I'm so confused. I've had a campaign going for many years and one of my players has evolved his relationship with his deity. We've been stumbling through his changes and I'm hoping to home brew a subclass so we don't have to keep stumbling through his enhancements.
We're still 2014, I've only purchased the core 2014 books, Tasha's, and Xanathar's. I'm trying to base his new subclass off of the 2014 Rune Knight. I've completed the homebrew, even published it successfully to the community, but I can't seem to create a character with it no matter what I toggle. What am I missing?
Thanks.
Ok, now I see what I did! When you create the initial homebrew, you have to make sure you scroll down to the 2014 Core Rules section and choose the Class (Legacy) option, then choose the Subclass you want as a template, assuming you're basing off another class. Thanks for steering me in the right direction, hopefully this helps others as well.
An update on this, you don't need to make a custom class to play the 2014 rules for a new character. what you need to do when creating the character is to specifically uncheck the core rules box while keeping the 2014 core rules checked, do this before selecting your levels and it'll show the 2014 version of the class, once selected if you need some things from the 2024 rules you can then recheck the box of the character settings and proceed as normal. I had a friend run into this issue getting a 2014 moon druid together and it took a little bit to figure this out, it feels like they are doing this intentionally to make it harder to find old content on classes that share the same name, forcing players to use the new rules which also means purchasing them, corporate greed at its finest folks!
