Interesting. Is this targeted toward a specific VTT? Is there a use case described somewhere? I use DDB character sheets and Avrae, and perhaps a VTT is the next step. I've been using a shared whiteboard app to draw a map, but I'm open to moving to a VTT.
Presumably if it functions like the previous implementation, then it'll generate a circular token image that can be copied into any VTT that supports image tokens.
Not gonna lie. I am always excited for these updates. The one I'm most excited for (if it ever becomes a future possibility), is if this website adds a combat map feature to the tracker. I doubt it'll happen right away, if at all, but it would be awesome if they add it in at some point.
Digital dice integration into the combat tracker and mobile player app is huge. I'm excited. And now everybody knows I'm excited, which I am sure is also exciting.
Is progress being made on the Class Feature Variants? I see them listed as WIP, which is good, but they've been listed as WIP since the May 14th update (and were said to be coming relatively soon before that). That's nearly 11 weeks at this point, which is a little worrying but I guess there was a fair bit of material, and some of it quite fancy.
Hopefully it's not actually finished and just waiting on WotC to release CFV2 or something, but I'm pretty sure the Beyond team usually don't get any notice of this stuff before we do.

The complicated coding they have to do to get these to work is pretty insane. They need a whole bunch of new interfaces on the character editor, and also some way to reflect the replaced features / varied features on the character itself. I'm not surprised that it's taking long, and if WotC decided that they don't want to run with it after playtesting, maybe it's not coming out, or will come out in a different form...

I don't think there's any chance CFVs aren't coming out at this point. Feedback was very positive according to WotC.
We know there's a Xanathar's style book on the way inside the next year (possibly a lot sooner), which will also have the disassociation of race and stats as an option (which I'm sure the Beyond team are super-excited about haha), among other things, and if the CFVs weren't going to be in there, they would already have been retracted, based on past behaviour.
Whether they're in a different form, well, I think there are bound to be errata and changes. For example, the Ranger CFV where they can fix Exhaustion on a short rest at level 1 is probably too good as an 1-level dip for MC'ing, so may well be nerfed or moved or something. I doubt we'll see any massive changes at this point, more likely tweaks and additions.
don't know if this is the right place to ask but i can't create more characters, it says i am allowed to create unlimited but now when i try to create another one, it wont let me and give me the whoops! rolled a nat 1 on authentication check

Let's Go, Class Feature Variants Team! You can do it! We're rooting for you!

The character sheet system is BROKEN at the moment, in the middle of our game!
Yes, I confirm it's down. Is there any maintenance in progress that we're not aware of?
