If I buy the monster manual and pull up a monster entry, will it drop attacks rolls etc into roll20?
Yep. I love this feature as I can list all my monsters/NPCs in the Encounter Builder where I can quickly switch between statblocks and click on the Beyond20 buttons to roll their initiative, Attack and other rolls in Roll20.

I am sorry, but I have a game coming up very soon and I am using Beyond and beyond20 in a new Roll20 based game. I am playing in a game now, but the dm set the avatar etc for me, I supplied the avatar jpeg to him. Now I am about to play in a game with a newly minted DM. Can somebody point me to where it tells me how to enter my own character and Avatar? I have tried searching, but just can't find the information I am seeking. Help, please!

in roll20? I think the GM has to set it up for you then pass you control.

With Beyond20? No, that's not what it does. This extension lets you use DDB characters (or monsters) and send rolls and information from them to the chat and hp updates to the tokens on Roll20. That's it.
I could use some help figuring out Beyond20 if anyone has a second. I've been using it successfully in a game on Roll20 so far. Our last game was two weeks ago. Tonight, Beyond 20 isn't working (for the most part). My understanding is that there's been an update in the interim. I went to the Features and Traits tab as prompted and successfully sent a roll to Roll20 from that tab, so I know they're still connected, but I can't make rolls from any other tab (no skills, no attacks, etc.) I didn't change anything on my character sheet or in my options. I have no idea how else to troubleshoot this.

One of my players was having a similar issue last night but none of the rest of us were so we figured he probably needed a reboot or browser restart but didn't want to interrupt the game so IDK if that fixed it for him yet or not.

Hey! You will probably have better luck asking in the discord server as there will probably need to be some back and fourth question and answers to figure out your issue.
But yeah, I will improve it to make it less confusing.
As for your issue, I think we solved it in Discord, but it's basically: Update your browser. If your browser is over a year old, it's not only a security risk for you, but it will also fail with the new Beyond20 parser algorithm.
Has anyone else had the extension get flagged by their Anti-Virus software?
I DM a friend of mine and his daughters and one of his daughters PCs won't allow her to install the extension due to Anti-Virus. I believe all that's on it is MS Windows Defender. There was Sophos on it prior but removing Sophos did not help.

Hey, I am having issues with the staff of striking's to hit/damage rolls. For one the versitle option isnt even popping up with the Beyond 20 option. 2 Any section I click on there only transfers the item description to roll 20. Any help? Love the extention otherwise!
@Uhnk13: Not that I'm aware, first time I'm hearing of it, and that sounds like a false positive, or they have a virus on their computer that is infecting the extension after it gets installed. Otherwise, I don't see why.

Thanks. Sophos is rather known to be extremely aggressive. I'll suggest he try creating an exclusion (if possible) for the browser install path just to see if that allows the extension to get installed.

Thanks :) And I'm sure you meant The Forge and D&D Beyond when you said the two best D&D sites 🙄
Definitely meant D&D Beyond....but I have been using Roll20 for a while now. I will have to take a look at "The Forge". :-)
The forge is a hosting site for foundry which is an alternative VTT like Roll20. It really is better in almost every way compared to Roll20. Adding the forge on top of that makes things even better and easier to manage as a DM.
So, I can't see where anyone has posted this (bug?) but when we play, we use the house-rule for critical hits....on a critical hit, you get one (set) of dice rolls maximized in addition to the regular rolls....that part seems to work OK in Beyond20 with the optional setting....but...
I have a Half-Orc Barbarian testing and I turn on the Brutal Critical/Savage Attack option - it is ALSO maximized on a critical hit (and should probably NOT be)?
For example....greataxe (d20) and I roll a critical hit (and 6 on the damage dice). I think the result should be: 6+STR+12 (1 die max) and then another d12 (savage attack)....not a fixed additional 12 damage?
Also just noticed another bug too... if I turn on RAGE, the extra die does not appear at ALL?
yes, of course

Can I share the PHB and monster manual across?

That prompt about going to features & traits is basically because I grew tired of sending people this link : https://beyond20.here-for-more.info/faq#i-have-a-class-featurefeat-that-the-features-page-says-is-supported-sharpshooter-feat-for-example-but-i-dont-see-the-option-to-use-it

Thank you to whoever created Beyond20 extension. This really integrates two of the best D&D sites in my opinion. Way to go and keep up the good work!

did the design of the rolls was changed ??
last night we got different design and it was very bad, how to change it back ?
