I keep seeing posts here and on reddit about adding additional damage dice to homebrew weapons and it's so frustrating to see people say "just add a new damage modifier with what extra dice you want to roll."
By default, Dndbeyond does not have anything that will automatically roll that additional damage dice. I don't know what else I can do or say to prove this point!
The only exception I have found is if you have the Beyond20 extension loaded and active. If people would preface their advice about adding additional damage with "If you have the Beyond20 extension loaded..."
Don't believe me that you can't add additional damage dice to Dndbeyond (unless you use the Beyond20 extension), prove it! I did:

Thank you so much, I have been sitting here for 45 minutes trying to get that damn dice to roll for a necrotic sickle. getting that extension now!
Half of the people that say that don’t even realize it’s the extension doing it, and the other half forgot they have the extension loaded at all. 🙄

I do not understand, why would they not allow us to change that field? It's not like the coding is hard. It should be an editable field!
