Those who want to share their home brew ideas can, and those who don't, don't. It's as simple as that. And you can change your mind at any time. It's simple. Mostly I turn sharing off because I'm not interested in other folks home brew stuff, but it's a cool option.It also makes doing some of your own home brew relatively easy (if you base it on existing stuff it is easy; if you want to make it completely from scratch it gets harder and I haven't done the latter so am no expert. But let's say you want an Ogre leader for the upcoming fight, and you want to make them tougher, and maybe add some legendary abilities to keep the fight interesting. You can use the official WotC ogre as your template and make tweaks to it as desired, rename it, keep it private or make it public, and it is then available for you to use, including in the encounter builder. In combat, your home brew is tracked just like official WotC stuff, and I can quickly glance at it to remind myself what it can do, ect.I am terrible at tech and I do stuff like that all the time; I expect there are millions of home brew things on DDB that folks are currently using. I cannot emphasize how much time DDB saves me on a weekly basis because of features like this.</blockquote>
