[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 7278383, member: 6801060"] Something I was thinking about since my previous response... The whole discussion about leveling up comes from my post where I stated I find D&D Beyond useful since it allows my players, who lack a PHB, to level up in a relatively timely manner without having to wait for my physical PHB to be passed around when they level up during a session (incidentally reducing wear and tear on the book). What you're saying now is that they should already be ready to level since they should know what their choices are ahead of time, or should come prepared with pre-leveled characters. [I]How are they supposed to do either of those when there is only one PHB for them to all use?[/I] Even if I were to lend my physical copy out, there isn't a way for me to send it along with players who live in multiple locations, and trying to organize passing it around from home to home between games would be hugely impractable. And that doesn't even bring into play all the other books like Volo's and Xanathar's (again, one physical copy each) they may need to level their characters. With D&D Beyond, all that is a snap, since they have access to everything they need to level on their own, at any time they want, with no waiting for the books to be passed around.
