I don’t want to buy a digital copy of books I already own so that I can use this app… I know you hear it a lot, but I just wanted to use this app as a bit of a character creator and maybe some of the other functions but all of the character creator stuff is locked behind buying the players handbook. It is a bit more frustrating that all of the classes and subclasses information can be found online already with very little effort for free anyway. I was actually going to buy the digital copy in the marketplace when I got an error, I would like to thank the server error for saving me some money. I am sure this is great for someone getting into the hobby, but for people who have all the physical supply already it is a tall ask. An idea could be to allow access for all of the feats, classes, sub-classes and whatnot to be available but to restrict the items or some other feature so people could still experiment with your character builder without immediately being hamstrung… at least put the player handbook stuff in there is it really that big a deal to hide the various cleric subclasses behind a paywall?

This app is really good for beginners but once you get more experience it is really hard to make characters and host campaigns. You can only do so much unless you purchase a whole bunch of books and premium options. I also think it’s very unhelpful in trying to find basic information cause you have to purchase books to get that information. Also I had to change my email, I reached out to customer support and they didn’t reach back to me. I now have to remake my entire BBEG on a completely new account without any access to my old stuff. I had purchased so much and it is so frustrating that all that money went down the drain. My players and I all agree that it’s so limiting and hard to make actual characters we want. It is so much easier to just make it yourself without the help of D&D beyond. I’m really tired of fighting with it and wish that there was an easier way to do everything.

The recent changes have made considerable improvement to the user experience. The best change since launch has been the addition of speed descriptions when they’re selected. Not having to reach for additional resources is my biggest “must” in a character sheet application. I would note that spell and item descriptions only come up when in the equipment or spells menu; you can’t view weapon or spell descriptions from the Actions page. I would like the ability to edit my Notes instead of just view them so I could add to them during the session. Toggled check-boxes for spells and equipment still have lag, and while it’s lessened since launch it’s still noticeable. My favorite thing about the browser was the character sheet portrait mode, I could use my tablet and have so much information on a single page. Unfortunately, until the app has a more comprehensive landscape arrangement I won’t be using it in sessions.
