how do you subscribe to a dnd beyond thread?

 
You will be automatically subscribed if you post in it, but if your post is "just to subscribe" it can be deemed off-topics and mods might not like it. You can subscribe using the Tools button at top-right and clicking Subscribe.

When subscribed to a thread you will get notifications when anybody posts in it. You can also see threads you are subscribed to by clicking Threads under your profile and changing filter to subscribed threads.

I actually made a video for NapInCamo who was having difficulty subbing to threads without posting in them. I guess I can put this here if it will help you.

Hey! DM trying to create a species here. I'm trying to add an optional addidional speed past the base walking (so giving a player the option between an additional swim/fly/climb speed) but I can't figure out how to get the actual choice part in the character creator to work. I've got it set up as: Trait -> Speed -> Trait Option -> Modifiers -> Speed (fly/swim/climb) ->  Fixed Value (30)

I'd like it to show up as an option to choose one in the species section of the character builder but I'm having trouble. Anybody know how to fix? or if im doing it wrong entirely aha

I want to create a stuffed other that does this:  affects the person holding it as if by the calm emotions spell.

Calm Emotions makes a target immune to either Charmed OR Frightened, as determined by the caster OR the spell makes the target indifferent to creature it would otherwise consider hostile, as determined by the caster.

Since the spell requires so many choices being made by a caster, and is situational, - it would be basically useless to make an item affect a holder like this. 

If you just want the holder be immune to charm or fear just say so and use the relevant modifier.

Type: Immunity
Sub-Type: 'Charmed' or 'Frightened' as appropriate.

Help. I'm trying to create a homebrew species that has a natural weapon. I have the features set as modifier: natural weapon; submodifier: bludgeoning; ability score: strength; dice count:1; dice size: d6. In the character sheet it doesn't even show up. Did i do something wrong?

The natural weapon modifier doesn't add the natural to the sheet, it modifies any existing natural weapons the character already has.

A natural weapon is added as an action, not via modifier.

I just tried using this guide and when i try to create a rollable interace it does not show the rollable interface within the encounter in the stat block, i even used the club example and it still does not show. i am not an expert by any means, but i would appreciate the assistance.

If this is for an action for a subclass feature, species, feat then the guide has everything you need. However, if you can provide specifics of what you are making I can help further.

If this is for an action for a magic item - a magic item cannot add actions. 

If this is for an action for a monster statblock please see a separate guide here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/106856-adding-rollable-tags-to-your-homebrew-monsters-for

Is it cheating to make armor that makes your AC 18?

Depends.

AC 18 armour already exists as mundane option, it's Plate armour, worth 1,500 gold.

with the equimpment section of background

Make a copy of a background and see how it is done or modify the copy.

Well, I tried that! It still didn't work! (It would work better if I had the entertainer background)

The thing is, trying to write a guide or make a video is going to take a really long time (several hours) because homebrew background creation can get very complicated due to how very clunky and cumbersome the tool is on here - especially since 2024 versions of backgrounds aren't properly supported. 

Therefore the best thing we can advise is look at the closest background you have available, making a copy, and editing it or seeing how it works and trying things out.
