Is there a key somewhere on the site that explains what the black diamonds and other symbols mean? I'm assuming a black diamond with a C on a spell means the spell requires concentration, but I'd like to know for certain. There's no pop-up text explaining it. Thanks.
It's weird. A screen reader says "Concentration" for the C icon and "Ritual" for the R icon, but hovering over the icons with a mouse does nothing. Tapping on the icon opens the spell. (The screen reader I tried read the icons. I only tried one.)

Human. Male. Possibly. Don't be a divider. My characters' backgrounds are written like instruction manuals rather than stories. My opinion and preferences don't mean you're wrong. I am 99.7603% convinced that the digital dice are messing with me. I roll high when nobody's looking and low when anyone else can see.🎲 “It's a bit early to be thinking about an epitaph. No?” will be my epitaph.

Mechanically, the R tag is text (it's actually in a deprecated i tag, which is the wrong way to do italics in modern web design) with that image you see set as the background image of the text; because the image is coerced to be the size of the entire tag and both the image and text color are black, all you see is the image. That's why your screen reader simply reads it as text.
What you're used to is the way images are supposed to be presented in web design: the image is just an image, with the explanatory text for screen readers set as the image's alt attribute. The way dndbeyond is doing it can confuse screen-readers.

I wish they put in (BA) for Bonus Action Spell, and a (Re) for Reaction spell. But they do not.
This is true. I would like to add that the bonus action and reaction spells can be found in the respective action tabs.

:D I am a whiny sob that wants it by the spell name, so I do not have to think. Thinking hard.
What about the L in a hexagon on the Warlord page by its title? Anyone else think it represents "Legendary Actions?"
This means the creature is a legendary creature and thus will have legendary actions (and possibly legendary resistance)
