I constantly run into instances where the character sheet on the website does not work.
Simple things like activating Large Form on a goliath changing a character's walking speed to a permanent 45 ft…?! If I didn’t know it’s supposed to only last 10 minutes, I would just assume that the character now has 45 feet.
Or things that should add a bonus to damage, etc., not even showing up.
This is not new-player friendly. I started actually playing in January 2025, and this website has actually made my life harder than just playing with pen and paper or on Roll20.
Instead of adding random things like “party inventory,” which I would not even know when you would use, the most efficient way to keep people using the website and the character sheets is to actually maintain it.
Please, please, please go through the bugs section and check it at least. At least give me the option to change dice, damage, or bonuses to actions, etc.
Also adding an option to view history for gold changes , item changes etc?! that would be a more logical change then party inventory.
While I agree that bugfixes need to be better prioritized, there's 2 things to note.
1: A lot of resources are going to be allocated to the new character builder coming later this year, which should theoretically fix many of the issues (since a lot of bugs are an artifact of legacy code).
2: While a guide on how to operate basic features would be nice, any piece of software (whether installed or web-based) requires learning by its users. Not only that, players are expected to be able to read and understand the rules on their own features and the basic game. The software doesn't and shouldn't replace those statements by any stretch of the imagination.
Example from your post: The Large Form thing was a result of not knowing how to operate the software. A guide showing that some features have dropdowns to activate them would be helpful, but learning these things is a general expectation of using software. The speed assumption, on the other hand, would be incorrect because it doesn't follow the text of the feature and you're expected to read that whether using software or pen+paper.
