Trying to multiclass my fighter with rogue. Looking to have a samurai/swashbuckler. The swashbuckler subclass does not appear in the dropdown menu. I can view all of Xanthar's though i cannot remember purchasing it. So i tried to purchase just to see if that was the problem but it wont let me purchase the book.
If you have a character in a campaign with content sharing, this is what it would look like - you can only access character options from shared books in that campaign. You can still read the book etc, but only the character in the campaign will have access to the options.
I'm guessing that's what's happened and explains why you don't remember buying it.

Double-check whether you built a 2014 or 2024 character; I believe that's usually the solve for this when you have the content but things aren't adding up.

I just tried to rebuild this character. Even when i start the build when it asks for sources i have all selected but Xanathar's does not even show up there as expanded rules. This is a build outside of a campaign. I did figure out how to purchase XGtE, I had to go to the market place from the home screen and search for the book. So now i am sure i have purchased the book. I logged out and back in with no luck or change.
Did you purchase through the app? I have heard that some people have had delays between purchasing and availability of the product when doing it through the app.

So, it seems that the book was the issue. Not sure why i could view XGtE even though i had not purchased it. After the purchase and i guess a passing of x amount of time all the expanded rules options are now available during the character build and after as well. Thanks all.
