- (2023-10-07) The Muddler: I love it. Sll I had to do was change my players characters status to public and it worked like a charm.
- (2023-07-08) Aurash Mahbod: I love this extension!!!! I noticed a bug where the amulet of healing buffs increases con when attuned, giving more HP, but that HP (and associated +con bonus) is not reflected with this tool for some reason. Any chance you can take a look? Amazing job! Is there a place to donate $ to sponsor the dev?
- (2022-11-09) Jeremy Hansen: Almost Perfect! This is a fantastic tool that adds even more useful features to DNDBeyond! My only gripes are that it doesn't get all of the numbers correct (showing too many hit points on a character for instance) and that it doesn't show DCs for martial classes. They aren't spell DCs but martial classes have a DC for a number of their abilities.
- (2022-11-07) Sm0Ky_ Cowboy: The Tool is a Great Idea! But is a shame that is not working 100%. From my 6players, 2 of them are not showing up!
- (2022-08-18) Nik: Does what it says it does. Wish there was a print friendly version to print for IRL games.
- (2022-04-09) Rae King: Looks good on the first character, but only picking up on 1/3 of my PCs unfortunately.
- (2021-12-19) Sean Ropp (jonstryder): While this extension has the potential to be helpful, it often isn't due to incorrect AC's, Saving Throws, and HP are being displayed on the campaign screen. May be a problem with the if/else if parts of the code or something being added or subtracted from the scores. But for some reason it's not doing this with all stats for the characters. Some do display the right scores in contrast to that of another character.
- (2021-09-13) Will “Latte” Lugaro: Works as advertised and in my short time with it, I haven't seen the issue listed by others. Likely they've been resolved... or I'm one of the lucky ones. ha!. Nice to have everyones passives at a glance without a post-it. thanks,
- (2021-01-17) Matte Flowers: Generally I like it. Definitely better than my quick cheat sheet excel file and easier to manage. Really helps solve a major flipping back and forth problem I've had. As far as intended functions, for some reason 1 of my characters is not loading details on the main page and does not appear on the character pop out screen at all. Character: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/IamE10/characters/17614987 Campaign: https://www.dndbeyond.com/campaigns/663451 Beyond that technical issue I had one thought for a future functionality: is there a way, perhaps at the bottom of the pop-up or as a bonus button along the top of the page, to have quick links to the rule summaries often referenced on a standard DM screen? (conditions, common item costs, exhaustion, DC/damage tables). Obviously a lot of information, so I figure quick links to those areas in the PHB/DMG are better than full displays, but either works.
- (2020-11-15) Darryl Kechnie: Like many others have noted, it doesn't calculate the AC correctly for the players in my campaign, but unlike the others, the discrepancy appears random. Sometimes it's higher by 1, sometimes it's lower by 2. I can't find a pattern. Squash this bug and it's on its way to 5 stars. To get it there, it would be amazing if it also showed spell slots for characters so I can keep track of who's got what left.
- (2020-09-22) Isaac VanHaverbeke: I really like having this for quickly seeing things like passives, HP/AC, saving throws, and spell save DCs. I've not had the issue with armor reading incorrectly, so perfect marks from me. This is one of those things that should have been in DnD Beyond from the beginning.
- (2020-09-10) Guilherme Haenisch: I dont know if its just for me, but the extension is not working at all....
- (2020-08-27) Bowie Sessions: While imperfect, I love this thing and it helps me run the game so much. Several stats are often wrong: -AC (often way too high) -Speed (feats don't seem to be caught to increase this) -Saves (often don't count items/class bonuses) -HP (too low; I think it doesn't factor some stuff...) But considering I can at-a-glance see save DCs, have a ~rough idea of HP and saves, see Passive Skills, see vision types, and Initiative, makes this pretty great. I use it every session to great success -- I just hope it eventually reflects all data correctly.
- (2020-08-01) Richard Abfalter: So I love everything about this extension but it just seems to have issues with homebrew stuff and even official magic items. But it helps me look at the ballpark.
- (2020-07-19) Alexander Pfleging: Similar issues to others. Great extension idea, but the AC doesn't calculate correctly. Will change to 5 stars if that gets fixed.
- (2020-07-13) Cistern: Just used this for the first time tonight. It has most of what I need, although the proper AC for some characters in my campaign are usually displaying with a +10, so a 14 appears as a 24. This doesn't happen for all characters and sometimes it doesn't happen at all. Refreshing the page sometimes helps, but the problem pops up enough to make it more than annoying. I really want this this work, since it would seriously cut down on my need to reference everyone's sheet so frequently. I'm hoping you can squash this bug asap. Good luck and continued success.
- (2020-07-02) Joshua Moreland: Great extension. One issue I've noticed is it sometimes shows the AC 10 higher than it should be. For example, my character Midgar (https://ddb.ac/characters/31112713/L4PPcv) shows as having 29 AC, which is sadly not the case lol
- (2020-04-11) iwan jones: makes keeping track of important info easier without having to jump between character sheeets
- (2020-04-06) Cody Perschbacher: Good extension but it needs some fixing up. It doesn't seem to pick up feats at all. If a character has Alert it doesn't add to their initiative on the campaign screen. It also doesn't pick up expertise gained from the prodigy skill if the chosen skill is on with a passive score (Perception, Insight, Investigation), nor does it add the bonus from feats like observant that adds 5 to the passive scores or modifiers to AC made from spells and other effects, though it does recognize changes to maximum HP. It's a decent tool for a quick glance at things. If they fix the minor problems that there now it would be very useful.
- (2020-03-31) Rick Francis: Impressive Tool. Thanks for your hard work on this! This will make Any DM's Job easier!
- (2020-02-03) Taylor Birdwell: Very useful but no way to manually adjust AC and skill modifiers to compensate for magic items or homebrew feats.
- (2020-01-27) Shadowy Insights: It's a good idea, but has many bugs. For example Armor Class is often off, if for example your mage adds mage armor to their AC, or the monk's unarmored defense.
