Syncing Entitlements
If you don’t see any of the content from the source, please be sure to resync your entitlements. You can do so by following these steps:
I bought both the digital copies of the forgotten realms books as it said it would come with the three extras and digital dice but I’ve not got access to any of them, entitlements are in sync
You say this is all supported but I dont think the character sheet has a way to track Hit dice outside of short rests and some of the feats have the ability to do stuff with the hit dice. Also the Dhamphir bite is not scaling with monk damage die when it should imo but i guess that is easy to do custom action on sheet
Van Richten Guide to Ravenloft Lineages are no longer available... It would be nice to support the legacy lineages in the books that we own (actually only 1/3 Lineage is Legacy).
On the Rat's Run map in Chapter 3, there is a leftover map scale that doesn't entirely seem accurate (at the very bottom left of the map). Going off of the scale, the tavern is 150 miles wide, I'm assuming that is not intended. If the intention was for each of the bar stools to be literal mountains and the counters as gargantuan cliffsides, then maybe this would make sense. Thanks!

While the hit dice thing is an ongoing & frustrating issue that's going to come to a reckoning when & if the Psion comes out, it is an issue that is, unfortunately, low on investor concerns right now(They're more concerned about initial sales), & Investors>Hasbro executives>WotC executive planted by Hasbro>WotC>game designers>web designers of Beyond>modmins>users, ladder-wise.
The monk interaction may have been removed because it may have been unintentional. I'd not worry about that one specifically.

I understand, its just frustrating that this is a new dnd beyond only product, and even though this thread says "fully supported" it really isnt. And it doesnt seem to hard to create some sort of hit dice tracker at its base without the 3d dice rolling and auto healing features etc. Like just a basic counter is all im asking for.
It's a little unclear, but I think a strict reading of the new version of Vampiric Bite would say that its damage shouldn't scale with the Monk's Martial Arts damage, as they are both alternative damage calculations for Unarmed Strikes that don't combine together.
seems strange if that is the case, balance wise its only a flavor change for dhampir monks bludg. vs pericing but yeah i guess with strict reading that makes sense then
When I select ABoH Dhampir as my Species, I am being given the Ability Score Increase option under "4. Abilities". This is in addition to the Ability Score Increase available in "2. Background".
My Dhampire monk does not show DEX as the attack stat for unarmed BITE.
I am still looking at debates on 1D4+CON vs 1D4+DEX vs MA DIE+DEX for Monk Unarmed BITE
I don't think it's meant to interact anymore with Monk in that way because of the changes to both it & Monk.
When a monk uses an unarmed strike, they can use DEX.
The Bite is an unarmed Strike. Normal unarmed damage is 1+STR, Unarmed BITE normal damage is 1D4+CON. You can roll 1d6 in place of the normal damage of your Unarmed Strike or Monk weapons - I can use MA Die in place of the normal damage of the Unarmed Strike "BITE"
The Vampiric Bite attack is currently calculating the "to hit" incorrectly. It is applying the constitution modifier to the to hit (the feature description only says it applies it to damage) and it does not apply the proficiency bonus. It should be using strength (unless playing a monk, in which case dexterity would be able to be used).
Public Mod Note
(spamandtuna):
System limitation - If customizing to display the attack, you'll need to also customize the To Hit.
Not sure why but this book isn't showing up in content sharing, but Netheril's Fall is? Been checking to see if it shows up since I have content sharing turned on, but Astarion's book of Hunger is still missing.

This Book does not show up in content sharing management. Please fix, thank you.
My entitlements are all in sync, but the species, feats, etc. don't show in the character builder for me.
When I select ABoH Dhampir as my Species, I am being given the Ability Score Increase option under "4. Abilities". This is in addition to the Ability Score Increase available in "2. Background".
Two things.
This book should be shared with me through my friend's account. It is not.
Secondly the market place page claims it includes a subclass. I am told that isn't the case.
My Dhampire monk does not show DEX as the attack stat for unarmed BITE.
I am still looking at debates on 1D4+CON vs 1D4+DEX vs MA DIE+DEX for Monk Unarmed BITE

Same here. And my entitlements and those of my players are in synch as well
I bought the supplement but can’t seem to open the content

ModeratorAre your account entitlements in sync?
https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/licenses
Did you purchase the book yourself? If so, is it listed on that same page under Current Product Licenses?
If the book is shared with you instead, is this character assigned to the campaign that's sharing it?
Do you have Expanded Rules enabled for this character?
