Agonizing Blast

Quote from jl8e >>

 WotC only acquired DDB in 2022. Even if they had clear plans, management support, and financial resources, it probably couldn't have happened, and doing it halfway is probably worse than not doing it.

 This is key.

They acquired it in 2022, and then spent 2 years retrofitting the ability to have 90% of 2024's evolving rules to be applied, and then they could start looking at the existing code and fixing obvious bugs.  Rewriting the whole thing now is actually a pretty aggressive update.

Agonizing Blast & other, similar Eldritch Invocations working with non-Eldritch Blast are EXPLICITLY named in the roadmap as top priorities in the site rework.

At this point, this thread should be redirected to the roadmap's page, in particular the relevant section to the above.

 Stop defending incompetence.  It should have been done completed for the 2024 product launch.

If the D&D Beyond character creator was a core part of the product, that might have some validity, but it's not. D&D Beyond itself is a secondary product, and it's not clear just how important tools such as the character creator are to D&D Beyond (its primary purpose appears to be digital storefront for E-books).

This is not to say there wasn't incompetence, but it's worth pointing in the correct direction:

• The reason D&D Beyond's tools haven't been updated is because they're legacy code, probably built on rotten old software that they no longer have the in-house expertise to fix.
• The reason D&D Beyond's tools haven't already been replaced is because they spent their development budget trying to build Project Sigil.
