I am new to using D&D Beyond. I haven't played a lot of 5E so the character builder has been a great tool for me. I am having a few issues though. Maybe I am missing something or maybe this is just some good feedback.
First, there was a question at the beginning of the builder that asked if we wanted to see our ability scores or the modifiers on top. I choose to display scores over modifiers. When I view the sheet on the webpage, it shows abilities over modifiers. But when I print out the sheet to take with me to my game, it has the modifiers over scores.
Another issue I am running into is important due to my lack of experience with the system. I am playing a ranger. One of the class abilities is the Favored Enemy. As I understand it the Ranger gets a favored enemy at first level and the at a later level it gets another favored enemy. The character sheet does not show the original favored enemy any longer. It only shows the second selection.
The third issue I have found is with the creation of Homebrewed magic items. My DM likes to give us magic items with just a little twist. So I have to create the item before I equip the item. This past session my DM gave me a magical "Arrow of Returning" which I had to create. I tried to create the item using a Arrow +1 as a guide. But there was no way to choose ammunition as the base type of magic item. I could choose "weapon, armor, or item" but nothing else. I chose weapon, but arrow was not listed there either. I had to choose longbow in order to get it to work, but that is a little odd.
Those are just a couple of things I have seen Thanks to all those who are working hard behind the scenes to make this product work. Thanks to you guys!
God Bless
