I would very much appreciate it if the Character creator would remember my preferences when I create a new character. For example: I would like for Homebrew to be defaulted to Off as well as the Partnered Content. I will NEVER use the Rick and Morty content and having to click it Off every character is a PITA.

Funny, I thought there was a way to do that, like I remember setting it up, but I can not find it now. I wonder if that was a subscription feature that I lost when I unsubscribed due to the loss of a la carte purchases. Or maybe it never really existed.
1.Custom eldritch invocations and fighting styles.
2.Homebrew Classes. Honestly, why couldn't DnDBeyond just take the code from the homebrew subclasses and remove the restrictions? Ctrl C, V, then X for all the restrictions. I would assume it's not that hard but who knows I'm no coder.
When creating homebrew backgrounds, feats, etc every item is duplicated with no indication of which PHB version each one is from. For example, try to create a homebrew background and add a musical instrument proficiency. There's two of each instrument, with no legacy tag. It might not be a big problem for instruments, but it is for spells and other features or items
I haven't purchased the 2024 Player's Handbook on DDB, but I'm still getting the free "Core Rules" in a privileged position at the top of every screen, and the 2014 legacy options I want to use shoved all the way down to the bottom, even below supplementary content from other sourcebooks. I'd like to request a drop-down with the options "Prefer 2024" (current order), "Prefer 2014" (place 2014 core legacy options at top, followed by sourcebooks, followed by 2024 core) and "2014 Only" (2014 core legacy options at top, followed by sourcebooks, no 2024 core). I don't plan to use the 2024 character creation rules, and trying to create a character using 2014 rules is an incredibly cumbersome process at the moment.
I'd just like to add to this that I'd prefer if this drop-down were on individual tabs in the character editor and not just on the home page. For instance, I might want to run a game that uses exclusively 2014 character options but uses the 2024 versions of spells rather than the 2014 versions. In this case, I'd want the 2014 legacy character options on the top of the class features, background and species tabs and the 2024 options either excluded or at the bottom, but on the spells tab, I'd want to be able to show 2024 spells and hide 2014 legacy spells.
I’m not interested in dnd 2024 at all. Could you guys create a feature where I don’t see any of this new trash? I just want my 5e stuff that I’ve paid for and not have to sort through all of this garbage.
You are now claiming that Maps is "everything you need in a VTT" except you have no tokens for furniture/items/spell effects and you don't let me upload any.
The character sheet in DND Beyond needs a toggle button where we can indicate whether a character is concentrating or not. Probably under Conditions would work best. I find that concentration is one thing that players (and DMs) frequently forget, so a visible reminder on the character sheet would be awesome!
Just thought of another way to get all our money from us. Make 2e and 3e versions of dnd beyond. Toggle between all the rulesets. I know people that would drop money on that.

Absolutely agree with this. Though I don't know how much work it would be. I know a lot of people who would love to see 2e, 3e, and 4e on DNDBeyond. WOTC could just repackage and sell old content with minimal fuss.

Everyone was having fun until someone invited 4e to the party... ;)
There needs to be a simple way to allow the creation of homebrew equipment, weapons, tools, and other items. Currently, they have to be common "magic" items.
I must say, I am a bit confused over the disdain for the 2024 rules. First let me say, I absolutely agree that there should be an option to keep our characters in compliance with 2014+ rules. Many of us are already in campaigns and can't reasonably switch midstream. As well, some just prefer the old rules, I get that too.
What I am not understanding is how anyone on DDB can be so unhappy with the new rulset when we literally shaped it. All of us had the opportunity to read, playtest, and provide feedback. This is the first time, that I am aware of, that a TTRPG has directly asked its customers to help with writing the rules.
Wanting to have the option for your existing characters is perfectly fair and DDD is, again, dropping the ball on this, but all of this negativeity about the new rules is really silly since everyone here had been asked to help develop them.
DDB, if your listening, we still want to keep our 2014+ character options until we are ready to migrate.
There needs to be a way to toggle 2024 ruleset on and off in character creation. Otherwise, DnD Beyond is useless to most of the people I know. There's no reason to not have multiple ruleset options in a service designed to be an unnecessary convenience game aid. Seriously, you guys know that we can play this game with pen and paper, right? Like, we don't need you. We like the convenience you offer when dealing with our character sheets. We buy books on here that we already own just so we can use the content in them on those character sheets. And you're going to say, you have to play the new version of the game if you're using our service? You're putting the horse ahead of the cart. You should be working to support our games and make how we play more convenient thus creating value for yourself. what possible justification do you have for removing something that we were subscribing for? I mean, jeez, add new options and rulesets all day if you want but don't take away the one thing we're here for and expect us to stick around.
I just tried to create a warlock, something I've done a million times. But now, I can't choose his otherworldly patron. I'm being told to choose some new option I've never heard of and told to reference information in a book I don't even own or care to own. So, have you decided you are a service only for people playing the new ruleset? Those of us playing 2014 rules can take a hike? Can I get my money back for all of the books I bought on here just for the character options for a ruleset you no longer want to be involved with?

You can still use all the 2014 content you've bought if you've got Legacy Content turned on. However, i 100% agree they need to provide an toggle for the new ruleset if you own both. Right now the sheets for me and my players are cluttered with irrelevant information because we still playing our campaign under the 2014 ruleset.
It's especially bizarre it was implemented this way when they've done a toggle for Tasha's alternate rules in the past. I see no reason to not allow us to toggle off 2024 rulesets if we are expected to continue to use this site. I've already had to stop and explain to a newer/less-informed player a few times that no, the new thing on their weapon or character sheet isn't actually usable, because it's from a ruleset different than the one we're using.
It's a convenient tool for sure and i own a majority of my DnD content here, but if the toolset it made sufficiently worse I feel less inclined to continue using it as a DM and player.

Add a grid toggle to the Maps

The Eldritch Invocation "Pact of the Tome" uses legacy spells.
Absolutely agree with this. Though I don't know how much work it would be. I know a lot of people who would love to see 2e, 3e, and 4e on DNDBeyond. WOTC could just repackage and sell old content with minimal fuss.
Everyone was having fun until someone invited 4e to the party... ;)
REQUEST: More search fields for homebrew collection. E.g. (for spells) by spell school, by spell level...
I've got hundreds of homebrew items. The current search fields are too limited.

Homebrew non-magic items.
There needs to be a simple way to allow the creation of homebrew equipment, weapons, tools, and other items. Currently, they have to be common "magic" items.
I want to request that when you click create character, right there and then should be a "do you want to make a 2024 character or a 2014 character?"
I agree, cause I just committed this atrocity to prove a point.
