- Cosmetic Dice Even if it was purchaseable content of like (2.00 or something an option to have different colored dice or a option to change the color in game).
- Toggle Display to display % vs actually how its calculated for the attack with if you do or do not have disadvantage on rolls.
- Toggle helm option for those that want it.
- Color pallet for gear (to an extent where you could customize the color of your gear with a paint like feature). Maybe add a vendor where it costs say 5000 gold to paint your gear in game. For some people this would really be appreciated.
- Animal companion/familiar color patterns to make your familiar unique to a degree.

Additional Thoughts
- Dice rolls for ability scores. It would be a nice feature to option even if it was only for single player mode. Some of the NPC's have some pretty buffed stats being able to get those optioned rolls for some games would be nice. Like roll 6 scores then choose where each stat goes.
- Spell books for wizard.
- Multiplayer dialogue feedback (being able to say an opinion in dialogue even if not engaging in the coversation that may change individual npc opinions of each player character)
- More randomness with random rolling drops for trash mobs.
- Basic npc gear on npcs might also be nice like when you loot a character in full plate and you cant get his full plate armor just does not make sense.
- Animal companion balance (There is a gms binder tool to make animal companions feel more inline rather than feeling forced into a specific companion).

More additional thoughts
- Choice of starting equipment. (Not every fighter wants to use a long sword ect). It would be very easy to have a back pack of your gear next to your character when you spawn this exists in normal dnd and would be nice to see in game.
- Height weight/build options in character creation.
- Clothing outside armor. There are classes like barbarian where not wearing armor impacts your ac and likewise for monk so being able to have some casual clothing as oppose to wearing armor might be a nice option listing those items or robes as clothing instead of armor would be a nice feature. Choosing this in character creation and coloring it might be a nice touch to the game.
- Expanded background system (adding an optional QNA system to expand on your background would be a nice addition where this could change the way your character feels and make them more immersive. It should not be forced for people who just want to jump in the game but the option to expand your background would be nice. It would add a new level of immersion maybe asking several questions in dialogue that expands your characters backstory like maybe you are not from baldurs gate maybe they are from shadowdale maybe they are from waterdeep or neverwinter. This could expand some dialogue choices and make that character feel a little more uniqu this is just a thought.

Cosmetic dice is a good idea but please don't encourage micro transactions in a $60 game. lets break the cycle.

I don't think Larian would put microtransactions in their game anyway.

Cosmetic dice is not needed, maybe ask someone to make a mod for that option?

Toggle helmet is a neccesity though.
As for changing the colour of my bear, I don't think he would appreciate being made vibrant colours O_o. I might have an angry bear on my hands.

I agree with you and it will probably be a mod. Still don't want to encourage people proactively asking to spend more on full price $60 game for something that's just a "fun to have" included in the base game. It's like paying for Horse armor.

They dont have to add colors like pink for a bear but it might be nice to choose black brown grey ect for colors the same for some other animals. Like you might want a white wolf instead of a grey wolf or a black wolf. Having some choices there would be nice.

Mind you it would be hilarious to see someone running around with a bright pink bear. If the option was there I would probably do it lol.

The dice was the only thing i thought of that hey if they added a buy cosmetic dice. It wouldnt really bother me.

NO. Cosmetic dice, why not. Microtransactions, HELL NO.

I also disagree with random drops. Preferably, I'd reduce randomness as much as possible.

I very much agree with the rest of the points made though. They're good points.
