D&D 2024 and the Foundry D&D 5e v4.x FAQ
Is this ready for primetime?
For most users, yes. There are some Known Issues.
What versions support 2024 content?
You will need to upgrade the Foundry D&D system to 4.x+, and DDB Importer to 6.x+ to import the 2024 content.
I don't want to import 2024 content
That's fine, you can speicify the sources you want to import in the importer like you can when building a character on D&D Beyond.
I don't want to use the 2024 rules
You can still upgrade to the D&D 4.x.x system, there is an option in the System settings to use the 2014 rules. There are a variety of settings to munch the sources you require in the Muncher Sources tab.
How do I install an older version of DDB Importer

So 2024 is fully implemented for import?
Mostly. Please see this Known Issues list
The big issue that might be stopping you upgrading straight away are:
- No character imports into compendiums (class/features/species/background etc), unless you use the workaround.
Can I still import adventures?
Yes, any adventure listed in the status page can still be imported.
Can I update characters back to D&D Beyond?
- Some bits. Features/Actions are especially likely to not work. You will want to untick
Action Uses.
How long till I can import backgrounds, features, species, and classes into compendiums?
I have found a problem/want to make a suggestion
Please add to the Known Issues list or the #bugs channel.
Characters I import have additional stats boosts
This is likely because a legacy background was selected and the stats adjusted on the Abilities page of the DDB Character Builder, and then later switched to a 2024 background.
Go into the Character Builder and select a legacy background, switch to the Abilities page and select "Choose an Option" in the stats drop down. Switch back to your chosen 2024 background, reselect the ability boosts, and reimport your character.
