FIZBAN’S TREASURY of DRAGONS - Issues and Support thread

Quote from Crendermin >>

I've just equipped the Dragonhide Belt onto my monk, has this issue from several years ago not been resolved yet?

I understand that somethings take time to fix but it's also been nearly 2 years since any update was made to this, if there is no intention to fix it, could there at least be some kind of note maybe added to the item because I got kind of excited to start using this item on my level 3 monk but then noticed it didn't do anything...

 Welcome to Armorer Artificer who still isn't supported and it's been 4 years

In the Gem Greatwyrm stat block, the very last sentence says "There was an error parsing the image tag." This error is present in the mobile app as well.

I would like to finally see the dragonhide belt fixed. It's been a known issue for over two years now, and even using a custom magic item created I can't add the DC to my features. 

It might just be operator error, but I am not seeing Telekinetic reprisal reaction on my character sheet in DND beyond.  Any tips as to what I could be doing wrong?

I own the source.

Hey it's > 1 year since the last post asking this - Dragonhide Belt ever likely to work? 😅

 It would take a heavy rebuild of backend features to make that work. The numbers shown where it would have to edit just use code snippets, they don't pay attention to anything except a few fixed values. And if it were rebuilt, it may also break some homebrew unless the items were given a modifier to add to the sheet that a new snippet piece could look to. (Would be the best way to handle it, really, but that's if they can manage it.)

the book has been out for about 4-5 years and at least 3 years ago they were talking about working an a system and architecture overhaul that would enable this

Still waiting on Draconic Gifts.

& the "features system" that was mentioned.

I'm having issues adding the dragon-touched focus to a character. I'm in multiple campaigns with shared content where they have fitzbans and it's not showing up as a magic item to add to the character. Have tried more than one campaign.

 Do you have 2014 Expanded Rules selected as a source on the sheet?

Yeah I ticked every possible option and I still can't find the dragon-touched focus (In my desperation I realised I have it already added to another character from a year or so ago so I added that character to this campaign and then moved it to the party inventory and the new character can't take it from party inventory to his own)

I can see other items from Fitzbans in the list of items to add but the Dragon-touched focus is not available. 

Do the  Dragonborn subspecies from  Fizban's work with the 2024 Dragonborn (or can they be made to,  with  not-too-hard homebrewing on dndbeyond?    Is Fiizban's treasury of Dragons  worth buying in 2026? 

The Gem Flight just needs to match the base Dragonborn. I THINK the breath weapon is fine. Then hand them Darkvision.

Other than those, not much work to do.

Totally worth it.

MaedraDawnkeeper already answered your question from a rules perspective, but just to answer it from a D&D Beyond technical perspective: on D&D Beyond, the subspecies from Fizban's are associated with the 5e Dragonborn species, not the 5.5e one. They will not show up as subspecies options if you select the 5.5e Dragonborn species. (This is mostly because 5.5e species don't have "subspecies" at all in the way some 5e ones did.)

What you could do is create a homebrew copy of the 5.5e Dragonborn and give it additional options for its "Draconic Ancestry" feature to allow the gem versions, or just create a whole new homebrew "Gem Dragonborn" species.

re:  5.5e species don't have "subspecies" at all in the way some 5e ones did.) -- Oh, OH!  that's possibly disappointing!  What I thought might work, might not work.  

Wait, see : https://www.dndbeyond.com/homebrew/creations/create-species  re: "Create Species Option" and  "Create Variant: - is one of those that something I can use?  

Are 2024 Species Options or 2024 Species Variants something that the Fizban "Draconic Races" will fit into (or could be shoehorned into).  I think the Dragon born from the 2024  PHB might be more similar to some of  Fizban's dragonborn options than what you get from the 2014 player's handbook or at least I think the dragonborn has come up in the world a bit. 

I was "never" going to play a Dragonborn , so I bought most of the ala cart player options from Fizban's but not the Dragonborn stuff.  I've  changed my mind about playing a Dragonborn and I have a ticket in for seeing about buying the rest of Fizban's to get the Dragonborn content.

I'm also curious to see what happens (and what's included)  for Dragonborn when The Field Guide to Floral Dragons comes to dndbeyond -  note:  I think The Field Guide to Floral Dragons: Floral Dragonborns (PDF) might be content that is not in The Field Guide to Floral Dragons  (or maybe it is it, but it's also available to purchase separately)  I guess I don't know what to expect from Floral Dragons  when it comes to Dragonborn options on dndbeyond,  but just the idea of it is part of what made be interested in the dragonborn options from Fizban's.
