D&D Beyond StaffWelcome to the Support Thread for Valda's Spire of Secrets Player Pack 2!
If you find any issues with the content from the sourcebook, or using it on a D&D Beyond character, please search the thread (Search forum) before posting in this thread.
RELEASE NOTES
The lich Valda has collected a grim menagerie of petrified adventurers within his Spire of Secrets. This Player Pack contains the best of his collection: feats, spells, magic items, familiars, and subclasses! Of course, he’ll probably turn you into stone too if he catches you. Venture into Valda’s Spire of Secrets Player Pack 2 and expand your D&D horizons, if you dare!
We have been made aware of an issue affecting listings on the mobile app and are currently investigating and implementing a fix. There is no estimated for this fix, but we will leave an update here when this issue is resolved.Listing issues on mobile have been fixed!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:
Once completed, your content should appear! If you experience any issues accessing your content please contact our Support Team.
ENABLING CONTENT FOR YOUR CHARACTER
To use content from Valda's Spire of Secrets Player Pack 2 in the character builder, you will need to set the character preferences to include Mage Hand Press source category (see the .gif below).
SUBCLASSES
This book includes 7 subclasses:
*Due to the inclusion of this Gunslinger subclass, the base Gunslinger class has been provided with this title.
These subclasses are mostly supported with the following call out:
Circle of the City. At this time, D&D Beyond cannot fully support variable stat blocks for a Wild Shape form. The stat block for the Animated Object for the "Object Shape" feature has been provided for reference, but custom actions would need to be created to track the HP as needed.
FEATS
This book features 8 General feats. These feats are mostly supported with the following call outs:
Shock Trooper: First Strike. Due to the various options of weapon attack that can be taken, this has not been added. However, players can customize and create an action on their Character Sheet featuring the weapon of their choice.
SPELLS
The pack features 21 new spells. These spells are mostly supported with the following call outs:
Arc Blade. Currently D&D Beyond cannot support the choice between Melee or Ranged attack on a spell.
Burning Blade. Due to system limitations, D&D Beyond cannot support rolling additional damage for the spell.
Flawed Reconstruction. After healing, this spell reduces the target's Hit Point maximum. However, D&D Beyond cannot support a roll targeting Hit Point maximums, so only the roll for regaining Hit Points has been added to the spell.
Soul Effigy. Magic actions are not supported on spells, however, damage modifiers where applicable have been added.
MAGIC ITEMS
The pack features 18 new magic items.These magic items are mostly supported with the following call out:
At this time D&D Beyond cannot support any effects that target another character. In addition, Blade Weapon Charms do not have their attack and damage bonus modifiers applied allowing a player to choose which modifier to use for their weapon if it already has a modifier.
FAMILIARS
This pack features 7 new monster stat blocks featuring new familiars that can be brought along on your adventures. These stat blocks are supported.
For some reason I cannot share this product with my players. It just doesn't show up in the list of content I can share. I have Master Tier, everything is synced up and I have the third part content ticked including mage hand press. I can see Valda's part 1 there but no valda's part 2

D&D Beyond StaffHello there!
I believe this has been fixed and it should be shareable now. You may need to re-sync entitlements though.
Magic Missile Subclass (Made level 3 Wizard to test)
Beyond shows I can cast it for free at level 1 and 2.
Kid Conrad's Character Sheet - D&D Beyond
I seem to be experiencing an issue with Heroic Sorcery's 'Martial Sorcery' feature...it won't accept Innate Bladework as the selected option...it keeps resetting to 'Choose an Option'.
Made my own thread asking about this but gonna make a post here just to be sure. Mage Hand Press said that if I already owned the Gunslinger Class I am supposed to get a discount on the 2nd Player Pack. I don't see anything.
I own both the Valda's Player Pack 1 and the standalone Gunslinger pack, and didn't see a discount initially when viewing in the store. Once I added Pack 2 to my cart, it came up as like $8.02 or something around there.
I can't seem to add any of the alternate familiars to my character's "Extra" page on the character sheet.
The Persona Masks list for the Bard is missing the 'Gladiator' option in dndbeyond's character builder. See the link. https://imgur.com/a/OiYahuI
Beastborn, the 4th option that ups the AC on the Lycanthrope Form, the AC stack with armour is that meant to be correct? if im ac 16 with studded leather and gain plus 2, it doesn't increase on the sheet.
the ac mods says its unarmored bonus but it should be just no shield
In the Character Builder
At Level 3. (INT 17)
A) You have to go to Attack and look at OTHER section to see effect on Magic Missile. At level 3 Magic Missile Savant is showing 1+INT to the damage of a Magic Missile and +INT MOD to attack/DC On a spell with no attack/Save roll.
B) In the SPELL section at Level 2 is showing Free casting of Magic Missile. (Free casting is for base level only)
Level 6 (INT 18)
A) the same
B) the same for level 2 & 3
C) Versatile missiles are working (Goto Attack, look at other and will see Cost and Save.)
Level 10 (INT 20)
A) is the same
B) is the same for level 2, 3, 4, & 5
C) is the same
D) Shield of Missiles is increasing AC correctly (GOTO feats / Class Features and select number of Missiles)

B is the same for level 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7
C is the same
D) Is the same

Matt Morgan's Character Sheet - D&D Beyond
Downgraded Build to level one due to possibility of playing him soon
I seem to be experiencing an issue with Heroic Sorcery's Heroic spells it gives you the steel wind strike spell instead of the listed hold monster spell when you reach the apropriate level
I appear to be experiencing issues with the Heroic Sorcery subclass, as Martial Sorcery seems to be broken.
Also, what the person above said, Steel Wind Strike appears as always prepared.
Is there a schedule for when this thread is reviewed?
Note they saw our concerns and will be working on it?
Some of these issues seem to be things an inhouse playtest would have spotted and either fixed or notated in original post.
Just my feelings and observations.
They don't generally work on the weekends, and they don't have a defined publicly available schedule.
Pretty much every release, at least as far back as the 5.5e core books in 2024, has been full of issues that could've easily been identified by just trying any of the character options on an actual character one time. It's become increasingly clear that they do not have a functional QA process for this stuff at all.
pronouns: he/she/they
QA amounts to "Does the book load"?
Since there is no functioning federal regulation on how QA is accomplished.
DM, player & homebrewer(Current homebrew project is an unofficial conversion of SBURB/SGRUB from Homestuck into DND 5e)
Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
Circle of the City's City Shape feature doesn't seem to add the spells to the character sheet.
How to add tooltips on dndbeyond
A bug in the character creator. Building the Heroric Sorcerer does not allow me to save Iniate Blade Work under the character selection. I don't think that's supposed to be an option it should be something that just applies
Here's all the bugs I've found so far. If/when I find more I'll update this post.
Looking at Heroic Sorcery as a homebrew subclass compared to Bladesong, I think it will need some backend changes to fix:
1. As Iltharanos noted, it only has one entry for Martial Sorcery, which results in the Innate Bladework choice showing up in both the Builder and Character Sheet. Like the Bladesong, it should have two Martial Sorcery entries - one for the Builder (no class feature option) and one for the Character Sheet (class feature option).
2. I believe the reason Innate Bladework keeps unselecting itself after you enable it is that the "IS GRANTED" option is checked for the Innate Bladework Class Feature Option. Bladesong does not have this option checked. Edit: This is also the likely reason that Innate Bladework shows up multiple times in the character sheet.
3. Innate Bladework only has the "Replace Weapon Ability - Charisma Score" modifier, which is not sufficient to enable weapon attacks with Charisma. Following the Bladesong, the missing modifier should be "Enable Feature - Enable Charisma," but that is not a selectable modifier. "Enable Feature - Enable Pact Weapon" sort of works (it requires you to designate each weapon a Pact weapon by hand) and "Bonus - Magic Item Attack With Charisma" works, but only for magic weapons.
