I received an email regarding the bonuses one can gain by preordering the upcoming Eberron book (themes, portraits etc). My Question is this: I am stuck being DM for the rest of the foreseeable future so these bonuses will never apply to me. Will players in my campaigns get access to these bonuses as well? If so, I'll preorder for sure.
If not, will I be able to go in to their character and add the bonuses myself, or do they only apply to characters in the "my characters" page?
I've tried searching for this information but couldn't find a yes or no.
What I've heard is that you can create a character with whatever the frames/themes/backgrounds you have, then if you give that character to another player, those settings will stay.
I'm pretty sure they don't get shared with content sharing, but maybe they should.

I asked some of the players in one of my games and they didn't seem to have access to any of the extra themes/frames I have. It'd be nice if these were shared, but the ability to apply them via a character I create then handing that character over is an alright workaround.
I can confirm that creating a character with them and then turning it over to someone without them does indeed work. The portrait frame and color/theme stays. If that person changes it, however, they will not be able to re-select it if they don't have it.

Please take a look at my homebrewed Spells, Magic Items, and Subclasses. Any feedback appreciated.
