Hey, quick note: When I access https://www.dndbeyond.com/my-content/characters, I see that I have CHARACTER SLOTS: 15/Unlimitied. I figure someone is about to find it and correct the spelling of 'Unlimited', but here's my post about it.
Developer spelling...fixed for the next deploy, which will be tonight. Not sure if you guys were aware or not, but Tomb of Annihilation is about to get added.
when you say next deploy is that mean that tonight is the night ? the revamp is getting deploy ? or its just couple bug fix and Tomb of the annihilation adventure ?
Tonight is prep for ToA - the revamp is still not quite ready. For Backgrounds, we've had to rewrite an entire system. We'll be working through the weekend to see when we can get it out.
More info on the full short-term roadmap very soon...I'll host a fireside/ Q&A stream within the next couple of weeks.
I actually agree with this sentiment and we do well with this at our company - the team truly wants to work on this since we wanted it to come out sooner.
i.e. They'll be working on it as "fun," not a job. I'm not a vicious taskmaster that's making them do it. :P
All lies - he has a Whip of Wounding as his favourite magical item. :P

Wouldn't a vicious whip be more appropriate than a whip of wounding?
"Export Sheet" on iPad does not work. Just ends up blank.
We all play on our iPad's during our game. I know it's in the works but an iPad app too would be highly appreciated soon. :)
It does work, iOS just doesn't properly render this type of PDF.
If it doesn't properly render that type of PDF, that means it doesn't work right? Any workaround solutions? It's nice to switch to PDF view sometimes because the main UI can be pretty busy to read.
I'm noticing a lot of unused space in the UI. I know it's a lot of work to ask for a UI redesign, but I think it could be a lot more compact so you can read more on the screen at once.
I know there needs to be a bit of bleed for text room, but the headers and header texts could be way smaller (or just vertical, or icons), the abilities and skills are fixed text lengths so don't need all that extra room. Under attacks the 'add custom attack' takes up a huge amount of space and all you need is a small '+' in the bottom corner or bottom center of the 'Unarmed Strike' box.
The sides of the screen are being ignored for the sake of a vertical aesthetic, which is unnecessary for this page.
The spell window especially is the most annoying for me, because you have to scroll a lot if you have a ton of spells. It would be nice if it were a large horizontal box at the bottom of all the windows. They should be visually separated by spell level too in addition to extra filter options.
It'd also be nice if all windows were minimizable. I don't need my character bio in combat.
When I have time I'll do a redesigned mock-up and see if it's at all helpful to improve it.
I know I ranted about this last week with being able to select sources but please hurry up and make this a thing. It's frustrating trying to build Adventure League characters and having to look up the sources to make sure I'm not pulling from a book I shouldn't be. PHB + 1 other source... shouldn't be that difficult to filter out in the builder :)
Will there ever be an option to upload artwork, or a charcter portrait to a campaign and/or a charcter sheet?
If you export it to a PDF and click on the portrait area (in Acrobat Reader) you can browse for an image and it will insert it. Not quite the same as having it on the site but at least your print will have it.
Will there ever be an option to upload artwork, or a charcter portrait to a campaign and/or a charcter sheet?
You currently CAN upload a character portrait to the online sheet. When you create or edit a character, right next to the character name option is an image box. Just click that and you can add a picture.

That has never inserted a character image onto the character sheet for me; just on the builder

It is a lot of work that we're already in the middle of - as explained previously, we are doing an overhaul of the character builder and sheet UI in the coming months.

It's not a matter of difficulty - it's a matter of having a set number of people working on DDB, having a set number of hours in each day, and having a huge list of things that we're working on to continue to forge ahead with improvements.
This is on the list and we will get to it as soon as possible, I assure you.
can you tell me if it will be possible to make set of armor or item that can give us extra bonus when we get all the item equipped or attuned that would be very nice and right now we cant give that extra because the tool dont recognize if the items of the set are all equiped or juste a part of them maybe set un option with a box you can check on items we create and let the tool know if we get the whole set or part of it and give us the extra bonus ... would be very nice to have that

I get it, I really do! I fully understand and respect manpower and effort required, and I think what you guys are doing is great. I'd just hate to see someone's character get thrown out by a DM because it's not AL legal.

Dancing Lights and Faerie Fire don't show up in the spell lists when playing a drow. Minor but it would be nice to have them listed.

Use a better PDF viewer on iOS and you can see it.

'Book of Ancient Secrets' does not force you to pick two ritual spells. Am I missing something but shouldn't it give you two rituals?
