As in the title.
Just bring back a la carte at DND Beyond.
Then you can make recommendations for newbies, but people can make their own "starter packs".
DId you know?
The DDB marketplace has REMOVED the option for purchasing one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters "a la carte".
Now you ALWAYS have to buy the ENTIRE book instead.

Dug this out from my old posts:
It's a shame they won't be bringing back the same functionality, but anything is better than nothing.

Probably because it was packed full of misinformation about the starter packs?

That would deserve a post about the topic from staff, a takedown of the post is unwarranted. However...
As quoted above, there were technical issues behind why they stopped offering individual items as purchases. These packs are a step in the right direction toward bringing back similar functions. And it's at least transparent about what items exactly are included.
Why they don't discount based on already-owned content, I'm not sure. That's the scammy part to me.
Was that last one ever promised explicitly in the pitch itself?

Once made Maxwell's Silver Hammer come down upon Strahd's head to make sure he was dead.
Always study & sharpen philosophical razors. They save a lot of trouble.
Not relevant to my point in the slightest. None of what it is was explicitly promised in its current form, but that doesn't affect how this gets perceived. And considering every single thing when we had piecemeal would deduct from the products they were a part of, this is a direct downgrade from how it was treated previously. All things are relevant, not just what they explicitly stated about this in particular.
The class packs are 5.99. I own the 5.5 handbook, so the only thing I get out of these packs are the Premade character and the dice. Most dice are 5.99. I'd say they are already discounted.... and that is for everyone.
Edit: I also own the Mordenkainen book so again I get nothing out of 5.99 where most people get several subclasses and 2 races for the price of digital dice.
