Any plans to add an option where we can flag character sheets to be visible to others outside of the DDB campaign structure? I'm in a PbP game and I'd like that group to be able to see my DDB character sheet easily.
This is definitely planned. I hope to share more details soon.
Any chance that we can get spell cards when characters have spells or spell-like abilities? Several other online character builders seem to offer this function as it is odd that Beyond doesn't.

Yeah. This would be useful for us as well-- We often have a member missing from the group on a given night and it would be nice for another player to have access to his sheet to run the character.
An alternate form of character sheet could be the format used for the pregenerated characters. Uses a similar format to the stat block for monsters, and has plenty of room for adding the info for features.
I did some searching in this thread about the export feature and custom attacks but couldn't find anything similar to what i'm experiencing.
I just made my first character. A nature cleric with shillelagh. I added the attacks when shillelagh is applied as custom attacks but these do not seem to get exported to the character sheet at all. And if there are more than 3 attacks coming from normal items and/or spells, every spell/attack after those first 3 are in a different font and not justified and resized properly to fit nicely in the window.
That's something i would like to see with regards to the export feature which i think is great since i play mostly with pen and paper, but likes the idea of having a digital sheet in between sessions and when leveling your character.

Anyways, great tool!
You might try saving the export and then opening it again. I seem to recall someone posting that as a fix in one of the other threads. Meaning that after he opened it the text resized properly.
I would like to see options for creating homebrew races and classes. I have campaigns that use things like changelings for pc's and npc. Would like to see something with psionics.

Races are coming. Subclasses are coming. The Unearthed Arcana mystic is coming, possibly after Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

You know what is missing, and really shouldn't be? A die roller, and the ability to click the dice roll for each weapon/skill/etc and have it roll the dice shown for the attack/etc?

This is planned, I believe. At least the die roller part.
In the Description tab, Suggested Characteristics for the background are listed in the following order: Flaws, Ideals, Bonds, Personality Traits. However, several sections down under Personal Characteristics the order is: Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, Flaws.
Could the order be made the same?
Also, is there any way we might in the future get the ability to duplicate the text from the suggested characteristics into personal characteristics? Right now while I'm at the PC I usually do some copy pasting, but that's much slower and less comfortable on mobile. I appreciate the full editability, but automating the default text to a degree would be welcome to speed things up.
Will the needed changes to the PDF character sheets happen soon or is it likely to be several weeks or months from now?
Here is a quote from BadEye about their first priorities after launch (from August 13). So yeah, there could be a bit of a wait as these were some of the most requested things leading up to the launch.
Not at at launch, but soon after. Our priorities for this week (starting Wednesday) are the Backgrounds revamp, familiars/companions/wild shape, and then some of the layout changes we have mentioned for the builder and sheet. Those won't all be done this week, but that will be the order we tackle them.

PDF updates are included in the character builder/ sheet improvements, which are our highest working highest priority. You'll start seeing PDF updates following the Backgrounds revamp and companions support.
I understand the "Spell Attack" section is for cantrips that require an attack (d20) roll, however it really should included damage cantrips that force a saving throw as well (acid splash, sacred flame, poison spray, etc). Considering how often cantrips are used (and the intent of these specific spells is to "attack" and do damage), it would make sense to have them right up there.
If you expand the spell in the "Spells" section, you should see an expanding section called "customize" that reveals an unchecked box labelled "Display as Attack". Check it and the spell will appear in the "Spell Attack" section.
Thank you this was very helpful!
I checked, but it doesn't seem like the same thing is available for spells via "magic initiate", correct? (other than "other spell attacks known")

Glad to hear it's in development!

Another thing I found missing from the character sheets:
It would be great if the bonus an evocation wizard receives from their "Empowered Evocation" feature were added to their spell attacks.

Really hoping to have more export options in the future. Are their any plans for this?
Woot! That is awesome! :)
