Why can't we create homebrew classes

I agree. I want to make a shaman class with custom points called spirit tokens but there is no way of doing that except making it a subclass and then making the tokens as magic items or something and who wants the specialness of their custom class reduced to a subclass wannabe?

Its almost as frustrating as not being able to make magic ammo which really should have been fixed by now. 

NOTE: As a note it took me forever to figure out how to do this in Foundry and its sad that the player has to specifically use the Foundry char sheet to use it. 

I feel like D&D beyond should foster enough to allow us to make homebrew classes, even if we aren't allowed to submit them, let us use something. And I can't even use it for my VTT campaign

What are the rules for making classes and sub classes.

In 5.5 not old stuff.

 You can make any subclasses you like in either rule set but not classes. That’s a restriction of the way the site is built rather than rules 

WOTC_BrianPerry: Rebuilding homebrewing tools in general is on the list. When we think about what homebrew tools we'd prioritize first, we'd likely start with monsters and magic items. We're not going to say class homebrew is never, but definitely lower on the priority list.

GrantPyromania: To clarify, it's something we have to defer until we rebuild our game platform. It's not off the table, our current system wasn't designed to handle it on a larger scale needed for homebrew.
