I've been experimenting with using D&D Beyond, but I have a few questions I was hoping to get some guidance with. Right now I haven't purchased anything, but I was able to make a campaign and have 3 players join and make characters. Am I right in assuming that they'll be able to make SRD characters, and level up and enjoy all the content in the SRD without additional cost?
I've been considering (re)buying the sourcebooks on D&D Beyond, and also scooping up the artificer class so one of my player's can make an artificer PC. This is where things get a little confusing to me. If I buy the Artificer class (or rather, the subclasses associated with the Artificer), can a player in my campaign make an artificer PC, or I will have to get the master tier to share that with my players? What if I create an artificer character sheet -- could I share / assign that sheet to a player without the Master Tier? Could I also just share my account with my player if I'm comfortable with that, and have him level it up / manage it on his end?
Everyone can use SRD content for free. To share content someone in the campaign needs a master tier subscription. Doesn't have to be you, doesn't have to be the same person who buys the content. If you don't want to pay for a subscription, you can make a character sheet with whatever content you own, put it in the campaign, and unassign it from yourself. Then someone else with the invite link to the campaign can assign that character to themselves, and the sheet is now theirs. I've had conflicting information as to what happens on level-up, though. Some people have said it's fine, but I've had it happen where a higher-level feature is not available because I don't own the content, in which case they'd unassign themselves from the character sheet, you reassign it to yourself, do the relevant leveling up bits, and then unassign it again for them to pick up.
