Trouble importing character sheet from D&D Beyond after leveling up

Site Feedback

I’m trying to update my character after leveling up, we’ve tried creating the character from scratch, importing a different character, using different import options and only importing one thing at a time, but nothing seems to change my sheet in forge. This happened right after we hit lvl 3, and as a ranger, I chose gloomstalker as an archetype. I was first contemplating if the gloomstalker archetype was the problem, but even after switching, it still didnt update.
Is there any way you could help me fix this? We’ve been trying to fix it for about a week now, but no progress. I was able to swap out the character-sheet with a hastily made character in lvl 1, but when I tried switching back to the lvl 3 ranger, nothing happened… I also seem to be the only one in the campaign having this problem, and it’s becoming a bit stressful to use both the Forge sheet, and double check from the D&D beyond sheet at the same time.
Hope for a quick fix!
All the best -Maddox

This is not a Forge issue.

I assume you’re using VTTA - DnDBeyond, stop using that for character imports, and switch to ddb-importer. It’s by MrPrimate, who wrote most of the character parsing for VTTA - DnDBeyond.

Thank you for quick reply, is this something I as a player can do, or is it something the DM must do on his end? Do I have to download something or is there a way to do this from within Forge? Not super tech-savvy, and I couldn’t find an easy explanation after a quick google search.

DM will have to install the ddb-importer Module

I am using ddb-importer and I cannot create any new characters. However, the problem is occurring before I even reach that point. When I attempt to create character, it will not open any sort of data sheet, let alone let me access DDB. I get an icon, a name, and no stats. ???

Hey there :wave:

It sounds like you’re encountering an issue in Foundry rather than with the ddb-importer. I’d recommend making sure you’re up to date with the latest version of the dnd5e module and also the latest version of Foundry.

Make sure that your world uses the dnd5e system, and disable all other modules besides ddb-importer before creating a new character, and it should work for you :slight_smile:
