A demonstrated understanding of the requests made. Many of these posts can be combined and edited into what is possible, then let the community vote. Sure, we shouldn't determine everything on the road map, but transparently show us how our voice matters to you, or remove "Request and Vote" from the thread title.
PS. The fact that a mod hasn't posted saying that they do in fact view this topic, is interesting.
Would love the vision of the player to be displayed on the map and remove the fog of war when moved. As well as adding the fog of war behind them to remove the jobb for the dm to remove and re apply the fog of war for when players are moving around the maps. Would also love diffrent fog of wars for places the players have seen and "know" whats in there but curently have no vision in there. Like peeking in a room to see the surounding but when they stop watching the rom gets a shadow over what they just saw, insteed of just full fog of war.
Please add all the "Choose X or Y" 2-ability-score combos that are remaining to the homebrew modifiers section. The reason for not having all combinations back in the day was that Wizards did not have certain ability score combinations. But now the 2024 PHB feats have combinations that are new to the system, like Choose Wisdom or Charisma. Please give us the freedom to set any two ability score choices.
Please add the ability to create homebrew languages. There are many languages in the Forgotten Realms setting that just aren't supported on D&D Beyond. Yes, they can be added to the character sheet manually, but that's clunky.
Please give magic item homebrew the ability to add actions to the character sheet the same as feats can. Many magic items, canon and homebrew, give the character new actions but you won't know it without finding the item and opening it in the sheet.
Please give homebrew backgrounds the ability to set ability score and feats provided per the 2024 rules, at least.
Now that new classes are being added to DDB, including lower-power-level classes (i.e. the six from LotR 5e), what are the chances of getting the three sidekick classes from TCoE or the four survivor classes from VRGtR for use in the character builder?
REQUEST: A single, simple button, available during character building, to remove all current equipment from inventory. (With a confirmation required if necessary.)
I would please LOVE a new feature. A rage button for barbarians that automatically applies rage damage and resistance based on class and level. Would make things feel a lot more automated. I always end up having to remember to add the +2 or +3 to damage. Shouldn't be a super hard feature. Would also be cool if the screen layout has a red raging hue near it.
That's all. Thank you for letting us keep the legacy content. Almost walked away from the platform a few months ago.
I want to know if there is an easy way to quickly add a creature to the combat tracker. The way I did it seemed rather clunky. Also, it does not seem like the new combat tracker easily builds an encounter with the right CR as using the old encounter builder does.
auto initiative works great, but it would also be super if hp can be auto removed.
Players can see creatures I add to the map even if they are covered by fog of war. This could be temporary fixed by just changing the default spawn’s visible toggle to hidden.
keep track of actions, bonus actions for players according to the rules. Also the toggle for encumbrance. and only allowing the player to move their token the exact distance according to movement speed.
FEATURE ADD ONS:
#1) My priority request would be an auto treasure generator that I could use to quick add, or add my own items. As I would love the ability to add chests, boxes, and crates filled with items, or single items on a map. A player could interact with these items. If a player hovers over the item it will provide a basic description. (sword, chair, bottle, glass dagger, IOLO’s Crossbow and Lute, or the Holy Hand grenade of Antioch. Player can select an item and interact with it. such as inspecting it, prompting the DM to provide a description or a pop up appears. If they pick up an item it is added to their inventory or used.
(#B) Tracked movement, Actions, bonus actions, HP, and Experience, if selected. DM has override and ability to alter these things. Monster HP tracked as well. But after a battle, a prompt stating experience and treasure recommendations.
(#B the sequel) On their turn, a player can select a Monster and perform highlighted actions. (this helps new players)
(#III) Adding Current Status and limiting abilities such as prone, poisoned, prone and poisoned, or unconscious.
(#5 Tokens and Tracking) Track monster HP ability. When a monster dies, their token could change to a dead version that is able to be looted like a chest described above. monster tokens could have three variations. healthy, bloodied, and Dead for a minimum example. it would be nice to Enable animated tokens and PNG file format. Why? see below..
(# SIX ) it would be nice to be able to add a 3/4 angle photo they took of the of their miniature they spend 42 hrs painting. BUT, said image uses the .PNG24 file format that takes advantage of transparency. or simply item tokens that are .PNG24 based allowing transparent backgrounds for tokens. or even looping animated tokens such as fire, water, spell effects, attack animations, or simply standing and breathing.
#10 the message system really sucks it takes forever.. please create a party chat where the DM could tell a single player something that others can’t hear. or secretly give them an item.
I haven't used D&D Beyond in a while, but if we don't already have it, I'd love a custom race option. (I'm using Roll20, but I have players who want to use their D&D Beyond account who don't have the necessary book(s) to add a race from say MPMotM.)
I'm 100% on board with having something to use for spell effects. I'm thinking a drag and drop see through templates of various shapes/sizes might be better.

#B #6 #10 Please!!!!!
The treasure thing is cool, but I wouldn't really have a use for it. Tracking would be great though since we have an encounter builder and all. So, I feel you.
Considering that Project Sigil is almost here (nearly? I thought I heard Fall 2024), I wouldn't be surprised if it is being worked on more heavily, and where some of the features requested will be.
For now, I would just be thankful for 2-click option measured token movement & advancement in the encounter integration from a mechanically functioning standpoint.
I'm sure someone has recommended this before, but I'll add to the thread.
1. I would like to be able to access maps, in the game arena, from books that I purchased on DDB.
I know and already do copy and paste them from the digital book. However, there are maps that only have the DM version with notations, which can be a form of unintentional foreshadowing.
2. I would like to have a larger base of NPC tokens available. I know and currently create my own icons, but the amount of time saved by the community would be massive if we could avoid these steps.
Please, for all that is sacred and holy in this world, please FIX OR REMOVE THE BOT DETECTION. IT DOES NOT WORK.
I am CONSTANTLY being plagued by this, DOZENS of times per week, only to see "Please try again."
It is RIDDLED with false positives (I'm not a bot), and I've followed ALL of the necessary steps to avoid it other than sucking at being productive.
It's not MY FAULT that I'm productive and have fast typing and decent mouseing skills.
Then, even once it falsely identifies me, the "PRESS AND HOLD" literally doesn't work 9 times out of 10: "Please try again."
It is (D&D) BEYOND Frustrating!!!
I end up having to Incognito, log in, and then work for another 20m or so (if I'm lucky) before getting NAILED AGAIN.
Please. Give it up. It doesn't work. Everybody who wants to automate your site has. This is not the way to secure it. You're not stopping it. You're not stopping them. They're thriving.
What you are doing is HARMING PAYING CUSTOMERS.
You're doing it wrong.
Be better.
Either figure out how to make it work right, or better yet, just remove it.
How about letting us purchase individual items we're interested again instead of trying to force us to purchase an entire book we may not be interested in?
i want to be able to buy individual items, subclasses, races, etc. instead of buying the whole book. i have no interest in a £30 book for like 5 things in it, that would be a waste of my money. granted i don’t know much about dnd and i don’t play with anyone other than my friends, shilling out loads of money for books that have 1 or 2 things i actually want is far beyond me.

How about a simple filter in the market place for items I do not own digitally, physically, or both.
