D&D Beyond Now Allows Players To Track Party Inventory

While looting treasure and acquiring magic items is a major part of Dungeons & Dragons, it can also be somewhat annoying to manage when it comes to a group of players. That’s because there are certain items which are often shared among characters, making it difficult to keep track of who’s carrying what. For example, which character is actually carrying the key to the Vault of a Thousand Portals and who actually has that extra healing potion the group agreed to use for emergencies?
That’s something that D&D Beyond is addressing with their new Party Inventory feature that allows multiple players to track and share items, equipment and treasure across character sheets. It’s a simple, but incredibly useful enhancement that’s likely going to be appreciated by both DMs and players.
So how exactly does this new D&D Beyond feature work? Below, we unpack all the details.
How does the new Party Inventory feature work on D&D Beyond?
The new Party Inventory feature provides a shared space within D&D Beyond where players can manage items collectively. The feature is accessed directly from your character sheet under “Inventory” with a new section next to “My Inventory” entitled “Party Inventory.” These items are shared by all of the players who are part of your specific campaign on D&D Beyond and at any point you can add, remove or move items between your own inventory and the party’s (as long as another character isn’t currently using it).
The Party Inventory feature also includes the ability to share currency, allowing you to pool coins of all denominations together into a single amount that can be spent by the group. You can even organize your currency by placing them into specific containers for easier spending later on (for example, multiple containers of 100 gp each).
Final Thoughts
The new Party Inventory feature is so simple yet powerful, in a way it’s surprising that D&D Beyond hasn’t rolled it out sooner. It’s something that legitimately has a ton of usability both online and at the table. It remains to be seen, however, if it’s a feature that will be embraced by the larger D&D community.

Cameron Nichols is a Senior Editor who lives in Boston, Massachusetts, and has been playing D&D since the early 90s, when he was introduced by his older brother and cut his teeth on AD&D 2nd Edition. Since then he’s played virtually every RPG he could get his nerdy little mitts on (including a weird Goth phase in the early 2000s when he rocked Vampire: The Masquerade pretty hard). His favorite D&D campaign setting is the Forgotten Realms and his favorite character to play was a Half-Orc Barbarian named Grug (who was unfortunately devoured by a gelatinous cube).
