Not to be rude, but, if the character builder is meant to be based on the 5th Edition system, why are so many of the 5th Edition options from the basic hand books not listed as options on the site? I have a whole list of back up characters I have on scratch paper I would like to have backed up digitally somewhere, but I can't put in so many of the options I can't remakes them here. It's really disappointing.
----> Marketplace. This is what you are looking for.
I would love it if, before a person with 0 posts can post anything, they have to verify they have read a simple statement explaining the marketplace, something like what filcat shares over and over again. Even better if it could be automatically set up as the default signature so they could see the answer to their own question.
Quick question on boons and blessings. Is that not an option yet in the character builder? My character received a +10 to movement speed and +1 to initiative last night from a powerful water spirit and I can't find anywhere to add that in under miscellaneous. Probably not a thing yet but I figured I would ask

A player since the great Dawn War, I've seen every edition flash before my eyes. I've wandered the plateau of Mystara (before it was Mystara), had spiced elven tea with Dalamar, composed spells with Mordenkeinan, and walked the ruins of Myth Drannor with the great Elminster himself — though I believe he was a cat at the time —. The scrolls and books that I have read have filled me with intrigue and seeing all of the imaginative constructs that other people come up with give me great joy

The fastest workaround you can do currently is to homebrew a magic item which grants those benefits.

Yep, this is what I did for some unique magic items as well as blessings.

Minor issue, for the new divine soul sorcerer, the cleric spell awarded by the class feature, I.e. cure wounds, can be replaced on level up, it has to be replaced by a Cleric spell of the same level. This option is not available on dndbeyond as the spell can not be deleted.

any chance of a fix at some point?
The staff is aware of this issue and it will get fixed.

thanks! I tend not to make items that can't be made public, as I feel sometimes like it's cheating. This however is a perfect reason to. You rock

Although I know at some point in the past that this has been brought up I have not personally gotten to a point that it affected me. But now I would really like a means to rearrange the characters that I have created. My preference would be something that would allow like a click and drag rearrange method, but really any sorting options like character level or alphabetically would be very acceptable. I didn't run into the problem until I started using the character generator to start spawning NPCs for a campaign, and now I have 25 characters that some of which I am not planning to use immediately and would prefer to move certain characters to the top of the guest list as it were.
In other news, I am very happy with some of the added options in the drop down menus, looking at spells by class right off the bat and similar things has been AMAZINGLY useful to me. Little changes like that let me know you folks listen, and I will be grateful for that.
May your Sails always be full.

"I have found the answer to the meaning of life. You ask me what the answer is? You already know what the answer to life is. You fear it more than the strike of a viper, the ravages of disease, the ire of a lover. The answer is always death. But death is a gentle mistress with a sweet embrace, and you owe her a debt of restitution. Life is not a gift, it is a loan."
Will it happen soon that character features will actually do what they say when I click Use on them? Like, when I use Wholeness of Body, it will increase my hit points accordingly.
How about the option to mark which options should show in the Use section (under the rest buttons) whether they have a use toggle or not?
I am just starting to use D&D Beyond for a campaign my friend is starting. He is generously giving everybody a proficiency in insight, so to make the most of that I have chosen other proficiencies in my regular character building options. Since I didn't choose insight in my character build I am not able to add it now. I can't seem to find a way to customize skills for proficiencies. Am I missing it? Or does that not exist. If it does exist, where is it? If it doesn't exist, is there a possibility of having the ability to edit skills individually?

Thank you!
It is not currently possible to select a skill proficiency outside the official character progression. You can, though, homebrew a magic item so it gives the proficiency to your character.
Can we please have the option to add languages that are not in the drop-down list, i.e. a free text field?
Also, when exporting the character sheet, it would be good to be able to include all the details of features and traits. E.g. I've printed out my sorceror and would like to have the metamagic and other abilities described in full.
So, I found an issue last night. I am not sure if anyone has said this or not. I found while using a mobile phone and using the character builder in mobile view mode, you cannot delete your class (or a second class, which what I was trying to do). I had to switch to the desktop view, delete it, then switch back. Not a big issue, but something I tried and couldn't do.

This was (coincidentally) in the group of several bug fixes that just got deployed. You can remove classes on mobile-sized screens now.

I've actually been able to do it on mobile. It just takes a LOT of taps.
