I'm curious: do you have inside knowledge of how hard people at WotC work? What is the reason for the cheap shot at them?
No, of course I don’t. I’ve been using DDB almost since the beginning, and yeah, it mostly works well. However, there are a number of rules systems built into 5e that have never been implemented on DDB – things like supernatural gifts and the 2014 version of epic boons. They said they were going to introduce a system to handle these sorts of things.
They also never fully implemented things like the sidekick rules, which is a shame.
I recall them saying at some point around the time they introduced containers that they were going to make it so you could move items from one character sheet to another in a shared campaign. What happened to that? That would be nice for when one PC passes a magic item, say, to another PC.
You also can’t make custom non-magical items, which is annoying.
It would also be nice to have a way to apply spell effects on the character sheet like with conditions.
It would be nice if customizing monsters was easier. The backend system isn’t all that user friendly.
I’m just saying it would’ve been nice if they’d made an effort to ensure that their own ruleset was
fully implemented in their own in-house system
before they started adding on 3PP stuff.
