Been playing since the 1970s, Often when we start a sub-campaign in our 35 year Master-campaign, we begin our characters as zero level, as children or teenagers.
We organically grow stats and gain (race/Species) cultural features over time, and often times bonus traits if they play for a long time in zero level play. The longer you play the more subtle minor, traits you can gain. In the current system it manifests as aspects of the origin feat, and attribute selections, while slowly gaining all the 1st level abilities of a character class.
If pre-rogue you might gain sneak attack but doing just 1 point of damage as a kid. Limited spell casting in the form of limited cantrip, doled out in smaller increments. These are the rewards they get instead of EXP, before graduating into young adventurers. We have a lot of dramatic growth along the way. As children a big threat might be the scary tapestry in the dinning hall. Rolling often to overcome childlike fear, and facing awkward interactions with bully peers, and adults. These games can go for years sometime, depending on where we start.
All the features of a D&D Beyond character sheet “can’t be used by us” until we select a class, and set certain features. rolling die, clicking on custom feats or traits, accessing definitions of things you click on within the sheet.
Can you please allow us to create and view character sheets without setting class choices, or other features first. Allow us to add these things as we manage our characters in an active sheet.
I have placed this request in feature request feedback a few time, and in discord. I wish you could indicate if it could happen or not.
it seems like it would be an easy thing to code/allow.
Otherwise we end up not using D&D Beyond except as a glossary for book references only. We can only use our paper sheets, which is how all used to do it, but I want to utilize the digital resources I have bought into.
i have literally purchased every single book, from Wizards digitally, and every 3rd party Partner you have. I find endless use for all the resources. All the Sourcebooks Adventure Books, and Supplements you publish on D&D Beyond. Plus almost all physical resources books and supplements since the 1970s, That’s a lot of money.
i hope that’s earned some attention towards what i believe to be a very humble request.
How about a Blank Character sheet that allows us to fill in all the fields with whatever text we want. Used for anything we want. no need to have Homebrew classes, we just track information on it, our way. Write whatever class we want, raise level up and down, write features, skills, anything, we can add anything we want from the database so it can be referenced. If it’s all custom text it isn’t referenced.
