Not sure how well known this feature is so maybe I'm revealing nothing new or interesting to the DDB community however I thought it worth the risk!
I have every single pre-order bonus since the beginning of DDB. Most of them I never use although as the selection has expanded, I've been more able to find a use for them than in earlier times; still, I would oft argue that they're really not worth laying down money for and it's only been because of my completionist nerdism that I've kept pre-ordering to get them. Because of this general lack, I felt like it a hollow 'achievement' to have access to them all; that was, until I discovered that I could share them.
Now, maybe there is an easier way to do this as I haven't experimented exhaustively but here's how I know, at least via one method, it can be done:
1. Be in a campaign with content sharing turned on (not sure if it matters who is doing the sharing).
2. Have the player who wishes their character sheet to be customised, unassign their character in the campaign (helps to have another one in the campaign just for ease of reclaiming)
3. Claim that character. Customise it (frame, backdrop, theme). Unassign it.
4. Player reclaims it and the customisations stick with it even if they don't own them.
The changes are, essentially, permanent until changed by the owner of the character. Although I believe that, if you don't have any portrait frames, the option to change frames will not appear in the drop-down box and so is stuck unless changed in the above way again.
Anyway, I thought it was a cool and (I hope) intended feature of sharing. It has also increased the value of the pre-order bonuses to me immensely. It was lonely at the top...
