Hi all, I've been given a homebrew subclass by my DM that I'm trying to add into DDB. I'm having trouble adding one of the features, listed below. Please advise if it's possible to integrate into the sheet, or just to have as a text only feature.
At 1st level, your patron leaves a signature "sting" when you cast certain spells. Your spells that deal psychic or poison damage deal an additional 1d4 of piercing damage, and they resonate with the hiss of a striking snake.
When the spell is cast using a spell slot higher than its base level, this damage die increases by one size for each slot above its base level, up to a d12.
That’s gonna have to be plain text and you just track it on your character sheet directly using a custom action. You won’t be able to have it automatically apply under only certain circumstances, but not others. That means you would have to independently track it anyway whenever you cast the right kind of spells. But you wouldn’t be able to adjust the die size if you made it as a class feature. But you can with a custom action. So just list it as text and do it on the front end.
If they didn’t program it for you, do it the easiest way. Ne? I mean, you don’t have to make this ready for the world, in fact you can’t publish it anyway if you didn’t write it. So you only have to make it for yourself.
PS- When you “cast a spell with a spell slot higher than its base level,” you actually cast the spell at the higher level. So you could clean that up by simply saying something along the lines of:

Whenever you use this feature on a spell cast at a higher level than normal, the damage die for your sting increases by one size (maximum 1d12) for each additional spell level.
