D&D 5E Question for folks who use D&D Beyond: How well does it work with the new rules?

I've just checked the campaign that I'm in and I can see all the legacy spells so far.

Right this appears to be for newly created PCs

Are you sure that you haven't simply switched off 2014 content in your settings? I just made myself a 2014 half-orc wizard with the 2014 versions of light, mage hand, and ray of frost. I experienced no problems doing so.

Yes, positive. I checked it about 5 times before posting. Others reported the same issue.

Is it still like that for you now? Maybe they rolled back a change in the three hours between your post and my character creation.

Just confirming that it seems to be working fine for me too. Just created a 2014 wizard and I can see all the legacy spells in the spell selection menu.

How is everyone finding D&D Beyond useful during a game? I've only a played a few sessions, but I can't help but think turns would be much quicker if players weren't using their devices instead of good old fashioned pen, paper, and dice.

I think it's fine. The tooltips and hotlinks really help!

For online play this isn't an issue at all; there are a lot worse websites to have on the second tab.

Trying to run DnD Beyond and Foundry at the same time can be an issue, but that's mostly because of Foundry.

My only issue is with Warlock invocations - in addition to Agonizing Blast not working correctly you can't select 2014 Invocations like Eldritch Sight. It's just not an option anymore.

I wonder if it's because I didn't assign the PC to a campaign first, and my books are the DMs associated with the campaign, so it is only pulling from the free 2024 rules?
