Even just a confirmation one way or the other whether the intention is to allow us to or not would be great.

We can’t even design homebrew warlock invocations and you want homebrew classes?! I like your chutzpah :)

My rationale is that they're able to differentiate, and organise the classes in such a way as to create a separation between the sources - 2014, 2024, Partnered Content, LotR, Critical Role etc. Same with Feats and backgrounds now, too. Since it's on record that Dndbeyond use the same (Or slightly more enhanced versions of) the Homebrew tools to build out their stuff I've always assumed it's a data source, caching/performance issue, rather than a possibility issue. It seems like they're nudging towards getting that resolved.
I always assumed the issue with Invocations was that they were implicitly tied to warlock, as a class feature (Think like Options on a homebrew subclass feature) - so allowing us to edit them or create new ones wouldn't map to their data structure. Same with fighting styles on a Battlemaster etc.
You are assuming alot if you think there is some frontend class creator, I think it is far more likely that each new "Class" is hardcoded in the backend and there is no clean UI interface, so unless you want people to have the ability to write code and have acces to the repos and database I doubt you will get this added anytime soon.
I may of course be wrong but new classes are added so few and far between that I doubt the time and effort has been put into making a user friendly UI to create them.
There is information scattered through the forums, but not well organized or easily searchable. Please create a section and/or wiki for all the homebrew documentation (and APIs, I can scrape them from the site but it'd be nicer if they were documented so plugins and extensions could interface more cleanly).
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!
ya, all the positive conditions, the options are currently only negative conditions, they should add invisibility, bless, heroic feast, pass without trace, bardic inspiration, etc. (and I'm sure Beyond 20 developer will take notice to fill in any gaps in the roll formulae, much love for Kakaroto)
I keep trying to get a response in discord, but multiple requests are just being blown off as spam. Just telling me it’s not a feature by non-developers, doesn’t negate that I would like the request to Become a feature.
simply put. I just want to be able to view the character sheet and use what ever features it provides, at any stage of a character creation.
A zero level character effectively. Not selecting a class, or any aspect of the character. Just a name.
We like to grow our character over time, discovering aspects and recording it over time. Setting attributes progressively, selecting a class or changing a class organicall, feats skills etc….
There are features in the DMs guide that let you earn things for your character set by the DM, incrementally, outside of the normal progression of a class
Where should i contact those who stole my DnDBeyond books? I can`t turn off this 2024 shit so half of my characters are broken. I, as a DM is sharing my content with multiple groups i DM for and everyone has left the platform. The new stuff is "ok", but its not what iv payed for and i wont subscribe anymore. It should be optional! Im raging hard and want my money back for all the books iv bought and i cant find anywhere where i can contact someone about it.
I certainly understand the frustration. I agree that the version should be completely selectable vs just enabling us to also see legacy stuff. We should be able to select which version of the rules we see in our campaigns and/or characters.
Add ability for us to go to specific pages in our various books. Many times the page numbers are given for certain subjects but we cannot go to the specific pages in the documentation.
Huge Third on this, A la carte purchases were the only reason I and probably a LOT of the player base actually bought anything on the marketplace, now I'm homebrewing everything because I'm not spending stupidly high prices for one subclass or species along with a bunch of content Ill most likely as a player, never use
Maps/encounters request: custom monster groupings and tokens for environmental items/loot/plot devices.
As it stands, when you add a mob to the map, you either have them as individuals or all in one huge group. E.G. 12 stirges on the map broken into three groups of 4. Right now the option is either 12 individuals or one group of 12.
Also, I want to be able to put the plot devices on the map that my characters need to interact with (books, keys, puzzle items) or loot that they can grab (weapons, magical items). These could simply be added as a separate table in the token lookup tool as "items"
Could you please add the possibility to mark some of the SOURCES as favourites and show them on top of the list, so that you don't always have to navigate through multiple pages and all available sources?
Search Request (QoL): I would like the option (a filter) to turn on/ off the results from a search query to only show content I own / or all content available.

Same here. I cancelled my sub and haven't spent a penny on DDB since they removed a la carte. I keep hearing complaints about DDB forcing the new contenet on us as well, but if we don't stop spending they won't be inclinded to care.
At 169 pages, this list has gotten a bit out of hand. Would it be possible to condense it down somehow? Like 'Bring back ala carte purchases' and then add up all of the votes? I'm pretty sure at least 10% of these are that feature alone.
I ask mainly because I'm not going to read all 100+ pages to make sure that my next idea hasn't already been posted by someone. I'd rather up-vote their than clutter the page.

Yea, it woudl be nice. You are in the same boat as the rest of us. There are many repititous requests becasue it's nearly impossible to know if someone made the same suggestion already. What they need is an enhancement request system, but that would only work if they cared about what customers wanted.
BTW, there actually aolready is a thread dedicated to the loss of a la carte purchases, in case you haven't been there already.
At least allow us to order the bundle physical/digital book in our language, because now we purchase the book separately and don't have access to the classes in D&D Beyond... Other than buying the book full price a second time.

Seconded.
I wish I could put custom tags on my homebrew and then search by those tags (or search by the notes since that is an unrestricted text field).

all of the extras really, I use familiars far more often than wildshape and have the same issue
