Request and Vote for New Features for DDB

Shared containers were one of those things on the development map when D&D Beyond was sold and the focus went from improving the tools to squeezing money out of it. Gotta love the rot economy. Number must go up.

FEATURE REQUEST:  We need a "DAWN" button option for Long Rest, to restore all magic item charges and game features that reset at Dawn. 

Or put a Dawn recover checkbox option with the Reset Max HP checkbox. 

(Not a new request, because it has been asked several times over the years, but just thought I'd remind it again just in case...)

Would really like the ability to hide all homebrew content made prior to the 2024 release AND the other way around so I can browse the stuff most relevant to the system I am using. If I am missing a way this is possible, please educate me.

 Not quite the same functionality but, have you considered placing shared items in containers held by an NPC hireling?

Nodwick 2024 confirmed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nodwick  LOL not really but I've seen mule character sheets in campaigns suggested before.

Subject: Request to Add Bastions to D&D Beyond Character Sheets

Hello D&D Beyond Team,

I’m reaching out to request the addition of Bastions to the D&D Beyond character sheets. With their introduction, they’ve become an exciting part of gameplay, adding depth and customization to characters, and it would be fantastic to have them integrated into the digital toolset.

Adding Bastions would be a valuable feature for many players and Dungeon Masters, streamlining the experience and keeping all relevant character details in one place. I know a lot of us would love to see this functionality in D&D Beyond!

Thank you for your consideration and all the work you do to support the community!

Now that we have the new rules to create custom Backgrounds on the 2024 DMG it would be grand if that function was a soon D&D Beyond. Unfortunately they have 2014 method. Thanks!

Maps requests:  Lock shapes to map, lock shapes to token.

It'd be nice to have an option in the right-click menu of a shape, to be able to lock that shape to the map.  This would prevent normal left-clicks from accidentally selecting or moving the shape when trying to click on a token that is in the same space.  Any right-click would still interact with the shape.  This would be great for difficult terrain, fire on the ground, or a concentration spell like Spike Growth.

Also being able to lock a shape to a specific token, so when the token is moved, the shape follows.  This would be great for emanating effects like a Cleric's Spirit Guardians, or a character's dark vision range to act like a perimeter of what they can see.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to use Maps to create encounters using 2024 calculations.  I don't always DM my games online, but I love the Encounter Builder tool to prep and save different kinds of encounters.  Now I have to take additional steps to get to my encounters if I want to use the 2024 calcs, and it seems like you just can't put in generic PCs - you have to use the character sheets built in DDB to pull in PCs.

PLUS, with Maps, you HAVE to pull in a map before you can even build the encounter!

Please make give the existing Encounter Builder tool the ability to use 2024 difficulty calcs!

I would like to vote to have the Encounter Builder updated to use the 2024 DMG.  Maps is very poor substitute for the Encounter Builder.

I would also like to vote to have Custom Background from the 2024 DMG added to the Character Builder. I don't want to havve to homebrew a new Background for every character I or my players make.

once again, requesting, the ability to turn off the 2024 content so it neither appears in the builder or in my library, never purchased it, didn't want it, shouldn't have to accept it just to keep using the product I've invested literally $1000+ into over 6 years.

Hide 2024 content option! Stop trying to force everyone to switch. Making a character 2014 character is incredibly irritating right now. 

How about this:

Institute proper community polling instead of people having to beg for preexisting promises to be kept and new features that seem basic to any other site.

C-Suite should be informed of what the community wants the most.

Weekly proper community polling would help TREMENDOUSLY.

Website polls are of extremely marginal value, the people who respond to them just aren't representative.

A filter to show ONLY what we own in the search features.

Browsing through homebrew items that aren't even applicable to a character's race, class, background, etc is extremely annoying. It badly needs filters.

Race, class, etc. filters on homebrew feats, items, etc.

All users can submit a suggestion for a filter on any particular homebrew creation in case the original creator doesn't come back to set them.  If enough filter suggestions are accumuluated for a particular filter (e.g. dwarf) the filter is applied automatically.  The original author may comeback to set the filter on a homebrew, overriding a suggestion autosetting of filters.

Page numbers on the Digital books, please.

I would love a toggle filter for 2024 content when searching things like spells and items. This way we can only get the search results for the edition we need. The added benefit is I think dndbeyond would get a sense of how often the new 2024 rules are getting used vs old rules based off seeing searches with/without 2024 toggled.

Blank Character sheet option-- to where we can manually type in whatever we want into each field and not be forced to use the character builder.

They should let you make homebrew classes
