I am trying to make a 2024 version of my paladin. I can pick Oath of Devotion because it is free. I can pick the Xanathar's options and Oathebreaker because they are from 2014 content I own, but I cannot pick the 2014 version of things I own if they're in 2024 content I don't own. I can't use the Oath of the Ancients.

This is why you need physical books. You can't downgrade or stop me from using my books. After the removed content from Volos I was done. I still use it for filtering but have my physical books and my pirated PDFs. It's a real shame that they don't come bundled

    I keep seeing people mention removed content about Volo's. I still have access to it. What are you talking about? Not saying youre wrong, just not understanding.

    The removed a bunch of lore and a few stat blocks when monsters of the multiverse was released. They were pretty minor and I can't remember all of it. I never had the digital content and it's more about principal

    After doing some quick searching it looks like they're only not selling it anymore and didn't actually remove anything. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1201-faq-for-mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the#faq01

    This tracks with my experience. I haven't lost access to anything frim Volo's. Here's a screencap of using Volo's version of Kobold and one of a monster stat block from it. From before I showed a screen cap of the lore still being available. I'm not sure what people are upset about, maybe theyre just confused and think people that bought it lost access to it?

    There are legitimate things to complain about with regards to Beyond, but I don't think this is one of them.

    I know they moved things to legacy and stopped selling it. I think it was just a subsection about Goblinoids that was removed but I can't remember to be honest. I was checking out from the DndBeyond system at that point. I still don't trust any digital only media.
