On the character sheet, mark whether you have Advantage / Disadvantage on a skill.

  I always forget about heavy armor disadvantage and I KNOW my players do as well.

  As DM, I find my players often forget about disadvantage (from, e.g. exhaustion level 1 or armor stealth penaty). Having the colorful D (or A in the case of Advantage) visible beside the skills would be quite useful.

  This is so pivotal to the game it should almost be a bug report that it's not already implemented. Even just giving us the ability to select adv/disadv in the customize panel would help (at the moment I rename them with an emoji added to the end of the title).

  Also (It's been mentioned elsewhere I believe, but just in case): add Advantage / Disadvantage as customization options for each skill.

  Yes! I forget about Stealth disadvantage sometimes (waiting to get some boots of elvenkind to negate it, lol).

  It would also be really nice to be able to hover over/tap on the skill to see circumstantial advantage/disadvantage, like the dwarf stonecutting feature and all the ranger favoured terrain-type stuff. How anyone remembers all of them without wasting time looking at their features page is beyond me.

  I’m disappointed this isn’t marked as Planned… 11 months later

  Well, it has taken a long time to get it to the front page when sorted by votes. It probably needs more votes to get some additional attention. If you have friends using DDB please get them to upvote it! :)

  Yeah more votes would definitely help – but considering this is fundamental and isn’t a huge ask compared to what they’re working on I’d hoped it would be fixed sooner. I’m guessing it will get rolled into the status effects work they’re planning, which is probably years away. It would be nice to see it at least acknowledged though.

  I did ask during a dev update a month ago and Adam said it was something they should do. That doesn't exactly translate to getting it done obviously, but I have tried to get it some additional attention.

  It's kind of crazy that this isn't already a thing. I really want to rely on dndbeyond as my main character app. Unfortunately as both a player and a DM, every time I think I'm ready to make the switch entirely over to this platform I find another usually small but often essential feature is missing :(

  This is even more important with being able to roll dice from your sheet now.

  Oddly enough, it is already in the character sheet. The recent rollout included some bugfixes, including a curious line about Stealth showing Disadvantage for wearing heavy armor. I took a look at a character that had advantage on a skill check from a feat (not stealth) and it shows a big fat A next to it. Shame they didn't elaborate on that in the recent patch notes for all to see
