1. On the My Dice screen, please let us give the dice a test roll/preview. I change my dice when the mood takes me and it is tiresome to go through each selection, back to a character, test roll, and then back to the dice.
2. Please let us combine/select multiple sets. I don't care if which dice you roll is randomly determined based on the sets selected, I would just like to have say...the Mythic and the Healing dice equipped at the same time.

I like this idea too! I normally do not do this with my real life dice cause it could be a pain in the ass to sort them back out. However, digital dice does not have this problem and we can go ham and mix all the dice if we want!
can there be a way, that if you buy a real-world source book or adventure book, you can have the digital one without paying extra?
This horse has been beaten many times. Since D&D Beyond is a digital storefront with the license to the content, but physical books contribute to the sale of the brick and mortar establishment from which they were purchased, it does D&D Beyond no good, as a completely separate business to allow this. Not only that, I’m sure the ramifications of it would be insane of “THAT WAS MY BOOK WHY CANT I USE IT” if someone else activated it before you did.
It was done once with one set, but I don’t see it happening permanently. Ever.
while that set was a huge sucess, its harder then it looks to do that. but unlike what you just said though, they are still trying to accomplish that with other books. but like you, i doubt any of the official book will be used for that. i think WotC will keep the main book separate from anything else.
I would actually like it if I could by the Physical book through D&D Beyond and then have an option to also buy the digital content at a reduced price as long as I buy it at the same time. So I don't have to go to Amazon to buy the Physical and then pay full price again for the D&D Beyond digital. Or even the ability to send the D&D Beyond books to my Kindle or something so I could download to read offline.
ddb already a lot of discount going on as is. even more if you consider that the books here cost only half the price already. the hardcover books are almost 60$ while the books here already only cost half of that. while other websites sells them digitally at full retail price. and yet it seems its not enough for people... this is what i don't understand.
one has to wonder, how one company can survive if they go below the threshold.

I would argue having a digital book is way better since for one D&D unlike normal books has a search tool and drop menu to help find what you need much fast then hunting through a book page by page. It's also accessible where ever you are as well the books on here are half the price starting then the normal books in stores. The only thing I would say is adding much of this functionality into the dital app since just as with amazons kindle app and digital library, you can download books when you need them.
heres the thing, people think its easy to do because paizo does it, but people have to remember one little detail that makes it impossible for ddb to do the same... paizo is one company, ddb is having to deal with two. paizo can put a book physically and then say pay 5 more and we give you a digital too. but thats because all of the money goes to them directly. they have literally no loss there. ddb has to go through wizard of the cost, same applies to roll20, fantasy ground and dmsguild, rpg drive through, all of them have to go through another company to get the things done, if they wanna make money they just can't give you things for free. if anything wizard of the coast should stop being just a production company and start being a merchant as well. but if they do that, that means the economy for other companies is going down. if wizard of the coast starts selling too, that means roll20 and fantasy ground and pretty much every other website who sells books will have to go down, because wotc isn't licensing anymore.
you have to consider all that when you do ask for a feature about giving you books for free or at discounted prices. paizo can do it because its one single company, they do it all. wotc isn't so is ddb. they just cant go below that. i doubt ddb to be able to go below half the price without suffering any losses.

I'm sure it's been suggested. But an option to hide the cursed area of an item to players if it's cursed. With the option to turn it on later if need be, like once they discover it is cursed. To official and homebrew items.
Like for instance I have a piece of armor, that they can use a hit die to use to assist in STR, DEX, or CON saving throws or checks. But the curse is they can't take it off, they earn hit die back at 1/2 normal rate, and if they drop to 0 hit die while wearing it they die.
If they know about the curse they would meta game and make sure never to risk it. I've had to make 3 items to give them in increments, the one they have now when they figured out they can't take it off, the second when they discover they earn hit die at 1/2 rate (which is the one they have now), and the death at 0 hit die to prove to them if they ever push it that far. Would just be nice to toggle them off and on as they are revealed.
actually agree about a dedicated section about curse, not sure about the ability to hide elements of it. that would seem harder to pull off. but adding a curse checkbox like the legendary and mythic section of monsters would be greatly appreciated.

It is difficult to know what has been suggested already but being able to add a spell scroll to your equipment with out having to homebrew the spell scroll would be nice. Someone here made a great tutorial I use to make them but wouldn't it be nice to be able to just select a scroll and then add the spell to it?

They adding digital codes yet for people who already have the paper books? Call me when they're done screaming excuses and the greed monster stops clawing around

There is, quire frankly, no way to implement this for people who have already purchased books. The chances of it happening standard for books purchased in the future is highly unlikely, but i if you want it to change, you are talking to the wrong entity: Wizards of the Coast are the ones who would have to make that decision, not D&D Beyond (which is owned by Fandom).

then i'll say.... the day you start a company and try to give things for free, maybe give me a call so i can help you with your rent.

Could be cool to combine mixing of dice skins with also being able to roll attack and damage at the same time. Perhaps even bind dice to the damage type, so you can bind orange dice to flame damage etc.
Can we get container functionality in the equipment section already?
Yeah that one is sorely missed imo. This is also not something that's easy to make with custom items etc. While other suggestions can often be worked around by doing custom items/attacks, the inventory kinda can't be done. Bags of Holding for instance, the whole weight issue is a big problem imo.

I definitely agree with this
Scrolls are already within the Equipment section however, nicely showing what level is what rarity. You just go in once you are told by the DM and go under Customize and just put the name of what spell is on the scroll. Once the scroll is used, then its gone and its just a matter of removing it from your equipment list.
I customize the items that I'm putting in my bag of holding by adding the notation "In BoH" and then reducing the weight to "0". Then edit the bag of holding notes to show how much space your using by adding the weight of the items you've added.

Good idea. How do you handle decimal weights now that the weight and value overrides are bugged and only support whole integers?

I have a request for the Dice. Well two actually:
1. On the My Dice screen, please let us give the dice a test roll/preview. I change my dice when the mood takes me and it is tiresome to go through each selection, back to a character, test roll, and then back to the dice.
2. Please let us combine/select multiple sets. I don't care if which dice you roll is randomly determined based on the sets selected, I would just like to have say...the Mythic and the Healing dice equipped at the same time.
Thank you.

I'd like to be able to set up a wish list.
The holidays are fast approaching and my friends and I are sharing wish lists, and it would be nice to be able to provide a convenient link.

You just go in once you are told by the DM and go under Customize and just put the name of what spell is on the scroll.
