Anyone else having an issue adding Harkon's Bite to their character sheet? I own both items but I can only find Nepenthe when i search for them on my equipment tab.

I have the same issue. Nepenthe shows but Harkon's Bite doesn't when trying to add the items to my character.

Harkon’s Bite should now appear when searching for it from Manage Inventory!
Currently, Dhampir characters cannot choose their bites as their "dedicated weapon," per the optional monk class features. As written, I believe that should be allowed, as it is a simple weapon and it doesn't have the "special" or "heavy" properties. Also, while the CON line prevents using your DEX with the bite attack, I do believe that the damage die should still scale with your martial arts, as again it is a simple without the "two-handed" or "heavy" properties.

They should count as a monk weapon without even needing Dedicated weapon. They are a simple weapon without the "two-handed" or "heavy" properties.
Personally, I think you guys should be selling the lineages as three separate races. The way you have it setup for character building does not work with what is written in the book. For example, looking at the information as presented.
All three lineages get the following:
+2 increase to an ability score and +1 increase to another ability score or +1 to three ability scores.
You get the common language and one other language.
For the Dhampir, you get the following:
Size: Small or Medium
Speed: 35 feet.
Ancestral Legacy: If you replace a race with this lineage, you can keep the following elements of that race: any skill proficiencies you gained from it and any climbing, flying, or swimming speed you gained from it. If you don't keep those elements, you get 2 skill proficiencies instead.
Deathless Nature
Spider Climb
Vampire Bite
By these rules, if you say choose High Elf, you'd keep Elven weapon training and Perception proficiency. You'd lose your fey ancestry, trance, and cantrip.
I'm not sure how'd you'd work it out, but the way lineages are implemented right now with the character creator does not work with the way the rules are written in the book for character creation.
The item does appear in the inventory system now, however it does not add the immunity to physical attacks from non-magical weapons that the player gets from being cursed. According to Chris Perkins the immunity applies to any form of the character, whether transformed at all or not. Gonna stick to my custom item for my game for now
Any time table for implementing Dark Gifts? I understand the business interest in putting out new content, but the customer satisfaction side suffers when you aren't able to implement that content in a timely manner.

They never provide time tables for things being release/implemented. What I do know is that they are actively working on a "universal features system" that will allow them to support/implement things like Dark Gifts, Blessings from Theros, etc. What I don't know (and likely in some ways neither do they) is how long it will be before it is ready for release.
Regarding Dark Gifts/Curses, the "Features" system has been mentioned several times now as a prerequisite for adding these, but can anyone point me to any information about what exaclty this "Features" system does exactly?
Epic Boons, Dark Gifts and other items of that type seem to me like they're all covered pretty neatly by the Feats system, all we really need is a way to categorise them (so they don't show up as regular feats). Something like that should be easy though (add a "type" option to Feats, filter out everything special in Manage Feats and Choose Feat options, add a new section to the correct sheet for everything that isn't a regular feat), so I'm assuming there must be more to the "Features" system to explain why it's taking so long?

No timetable for when it's complete, but I can tell you that planning has been happening over the course of the last year and work has now started on it.
Sorry if this question is repeated, scrolled through all posts and got this impression:
General background features in this book does not work in dndbeyond, the current workaround for this is to homebrew some backgrounds and add the text from the book manually?
There is no plan or statement from dndbeyond team to add this feature as stated in the book?
- You may replace the standard feature of your background with any one of the options presented here.
So I bought both bundles in the marketplace a ways back and it says that at least one of them includes Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft. Unfortunately, I seem to have zero access to anything in that book and I don't want to have to purchase it separately if I don't have to. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? I am using my laptop to view if that makes a difference.

By both bundles, do you mean the sourcebook bundle and the adventure bundle? The bundles and their contents are updated each time a new release happens. So if you bought the Sourcebook bundle before Van Richtens was released, it would not have been included in what you purchased, but would be listed now as part of the bundle. To check, go to https://www.dndbeyond.com/account, and go to the marketplace tab. First, at the top, under account entitlements, make sure everything in in sync. Then, scroll down to “current product licenses” and check what is listed.
If you don’t have it, you can purchase it at a discount (which I believe is 10% for the sourcebook bundle, but I could be wrong).

Correct.
You only get sources books that are released at the time you purchase the bundle, but you get a 10% discount on the price of all included source books when purchasing the sourcebook bundle.
The discount is then applied to all future sourcebooks for you to purchase (If you get the legendary bundle, it's upped to 15% off)
Thank you, guys! That's super helpful. I did get the Sourcebook Bundle and Adventure Bundle initially and that was before this book was released. I'll look into the legendary bundle for that discount!
My question as well. Doesn’t seem like a huge issue to add to background feature list.

I have the same issue. Nepenthe shows but Harkon's Bite doesn't when trying to add the items to my character.

AlumniThis is a known limitation of how the monk's Martial Arts feature has been coded. Here's a full description and workaround earlier in this thread!
what about the to hit?
