OK so when dndbeyond releases, do we have to purchase content like classes and spells or will all the content in the PHB be free?
I posted this in another thread and then realized this would be a better place to ask:
Will there be mechanics/variant rules only bundles for the adventures and SCAG? For the adventures it's usually only a handful of unique items, but being able to pay a couple of bucks to get them would be nice.
Related to this, could we get a list before release of the individual elements/bundles available and their price? It would help people plan out their purchases and might assuage some of the complaints about the prices if people see that they can get what they need for much less than buying all the books.
I apologize if this has already been asked,
If I purchase either monthly option, when creating a character or homebrew, will all races, classes, spells be available to me at that time or do I have to purchase the PHB or other books to have those available to me? What will be the difference between the $2.99 hero tier and just the public option (beta) option? What will actually be available to me with a only a monthly subscription?

If I pay the 5.99 a month will my players have to pay 2.99 a month to use the content in character builder?

Thank you very much
Yeah, so, if I can't verify that I already own a physical copy of a book, there's no way I'm going to rebuy it just to be able to use this tool. The books I have are: PHB, DMG, MM, and SKT. That's already $200 I've invested into the game, and now if I want that content digitally I'm going to have to shell out another $115. No thanks.
The Hero tier is garbage. Pay $3 a month to remove ads (note, who doesn't use an ad blocker nowadays anyway?), unlimited characters, and all of the content that people have created and shared of their own accord.
The Master tier would make sense at $5 a month, provided I could again validate the content that I've already physically purchased so I could share it with my group.
I understand the need for this product to make money to support it and the developers, I really do. However, forcing people that have already invested into the physical media into repaying for it in a digital format at practically the same price of the physical media is not going to win a lot of people over to this. As the pricing currently sits, I will not be using it and will not be recommending it to anyone unless they're completely new.

Tooltips (Help/aid)
What's so hard to understand if you want digital copies you pay for them or you pay a monthly fee. If you can't afford to buy both you don't and you continue to play the game the way you've always played. The website is a tool which you can choose to use or not.
Personally, I like the idea of a higher monthly subscription that would give me access to all published content. But, I don't mind purchasing digital copies provided they are not just PDF but actually formatted for tablets and phone.

Seriously, there are 56 pages of comments and people are still chiming in to ask questions that have been answered multiple times.
You don't have to even read everything, just pick a random page and go from there. You'll find an answer in like 5 minutes.
This is painful for me at this point, I can't imagine how the people working on it feel.
Like, D&D is a game that requires reading to play. Stop trying to cut corners and do some reading.
Reminder: there is currently no announced option to pay monthly for access to the books. I want that, lots, and on release, but it's never been promised.
