Hi gang - I’m DMing for a small party of players who are true newbies to the game, and I think they’re intimidated by the expanse of the player manual. As a “Master Tier” holder, who has shared his resources with his players, is there a way for me to send one of them a link to a specific page in the player’s manual? For instance, a link to the ‘monk’ chapter, so the player can be sent directly to the bits I want them to review? If this is possible, I sure am not finding it…
..had I had the sense to consider looking at the player’s handbook in a web browser, instead of the DnDBbeyond app, I’ll bet that would have occurred to me. 🤦🏻♂️
Sometimes it’s the most obvious thing that remains elusive. Thank you!
If they are on the web browser, you shouldn’t even need to send it. Once you share the content, they should just be able to navigate to it, either in the PHB, or in the classes dropdown menu, and read it.
They could only build characters with it within the campaign, but reading it should work fine.
I think the point is to make it as easy as possible to get the player to "be on the same page" as the DM. More issues involved in that than you'd think when navigating a new book/game.

Heck, I wasn’t even on the web browser. I know they use the app, which is where I was looking for a link. Now that I know to use the browser, I can just text them a link and they can open it in a browser, as well. I just couldn’t find any means of doing this in the app, hence the question.

It would be potentially useful for the app to use a custom URL schema to allow links to points within the app, though.

Ah, I didn't realise you meant the app. There's no way to share app-links I'm afraid. Sorry, I should've double checked

Can you not copy the URL of the page and send them that? For example the monk chapter is: https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/phb-2024/character-classes#Monk and if you want to link to the monk class page you can send this: https://www.dndbeyond.com/classes/2190880-monk

That’s what I thought, too.
At least there’s a workaround.
