Bump. Just kidding! I have content to add to this discussion because in addition to the use cases mentioned in this thread, I have one. In a campaign starting in the future, I have a character pretending to be another class. However my real class is listed in the campaign.
Hope this gets bumped on the developers priority list!
This would also help the changeling, if the changeling is pretending to be a tiefling the entire time. Temporarily, you can copy the changeling race and change the name to tiefling, but you can't do that with classes until homebrew classes are implemented in like 2-5 years.
Bump, because I have a character who hasn't revealed he is a cleric yet and everyone knows he is and they were asking if anyone had any healing spells (no one was hurt too bad). They know his domain as well, something that would be better if it was kept secret. Some of us enjoy the mystery of finding out things in the middle of the campaign.
This is strong preference from someone who likes to keep some of these things hidden. But I enjoy D&D Beyond overall.
Just spent a week generating so called "private" characters for NPC's in a campaign thinking it would hide them. As soon as the players started generating their characters they could see enough about the so called "private" NPC characters that I will basically have to redo half the campaign. Not only does this totally suck, but it makes the entire service practically useless. I don't even want other players to see the kind of info about each other that so called "private" characters reveal (already more than players should necessarily know about "public" characters). All character stats should be hidden by default from other players instead of being crystal balled by some 20th+ level wizard who broadcasts it all to the players, who's characters really just shouldn't know !!!
bump its 2019!!!

Is there a way to do this workaround without the homebrew race/class showing up as an option for other players?
Has anyone had any luck with the Homebrew approach?
