I finally decided to purchase the rulebooks through dndbeyond and for the most part I am extremely happy. There are a few things that I am hoping to see at some point though. I apologize if these are regularly requested things... I haven’t been following the forums and didn’t see answers on them when I looked.

The first is regarding character slots. Are there any plans to allow the purchase off additional character slots without a monthly subscription? In my case, I would like two more character slots, and a monthly subscription fee just for two additional slots is a little hard to swallow. I would gladly pay a one time fee of $3 or so per slot beyond the first six though.

My other question is regarding abilities that are activated or spells that modify attacks, damage, armor, etc. For instance, clicking the box for a barbarian’s rage does not add the damage bonus to melee attacks. Similarly, I don’t see how to apply Mage Armor to a character’s AC when active. Those are just two examples... Are there any plans (or is there an existing way that I am overlooking) to have the rage bonus damage reflected in the weapon attack, or to show the AC adjustment when mage armor is active? Does anyone have a good way around this issue?

Thanks for any info you can provide! 

I don't think they have any intention of letting us buy character slots. The hero tier subscription is cheap, but I also wish there were a few more free slots.

Toggleable effects like mage armor and rage are not currently reflected on character sheets, but I heard this is a planned feature for future update.

Thanks for the info. Glad to hear toggle effects may be coming at some point in the future!

To expand on the toggle effect I believe the plan is for a encounter builder and monster builder to be added from there they can move to adding initiative counters at which point a DM could move initiative along and toggable effects would play off the initiative tracker. But until all the prior components are put in they cannot do the temporary effects. 

Oh wow... yeah all of those would be great additions, especially if the initiative tracker kept turns and shut down toggle effects when they run out.  Is the initiative tracker also planned to sync up player accounts to the DM so that the DM can monitor HP and toggle effects on PCs  too? That would make the DM tier subscription much more appealing.

I have no idea, I would imagine so if it being tied to camapign management but I think we are just going to have to wait until we see what is developed. Though even if not initially done I would imagine with this dev team it will be on the cards eventually.

 They don't need to have a working initiative tracker to do toggleable effects. Most temporary effects can end early anyway, and long lasting effects like mage armor would easily outlast an encounter.

That may be the case but the fact is this is what previous dev updates have said the plan is.
