New DM on the forums here, but I had a question and/or feature add-on request.
I've been setting up all of my local players in the system under "My Characters", with the intention of assigning them to my players DNDB accounts once I got everything setup the way I wanted.
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem like an option anywhere in the system (someone, PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!!!).
(So, I'm resigned for now to re-create the data again as "unassigned characters" under the My Campaigns tool... sigh.)
If this can't be done currently, could this be put on the list to be considered for future updates, please?
Add the characters to a campaign using the join link - and then unassign them. Your players should be able to then choose those characters and take control of them from the campaign.
Just make sure that you give them copies of the characters instead of your originals if you have enough character slots. There have been more than one tale of players accidentally claiming the wrong characters, and then deleting them instead of unassigning them again. And in future, you can also let them create their own in the campaign and then you can just go in as the DM and adjust things if you need to.
