I'm attempting to create an Elf variant race with non-standard ASI options.I've removed the base ASI, and added in an option to select one ASI at +1 and another at ASI +2.
The choices populate into the character builder correctly under Step 2 (Race) , and display on Step 4 (Ability Scores) but then strangely do not actually calculate into the final ability scores.
I've repeated the homebrew setup through multiple attempts and eliminated any errors I can find. I've tried other ASI configurations as well. Only the standard ASI seems to work. Can this be investigated? Can others replicate this issue?
I can confirm that the ASI modififiers were configured exactly as noted in FAQ #11, and "Replace Base Race Racial Trait" was selected and set to "Ability Score Increase"
The homebrew build was mirrored as a Human race variant and functions correctly, leading me to believe the issue may be limited to the Elf variant.
So you did include the fixed values for each of those Modifiers? You’re absolutely sure? Because the only time I’ve ever seen or heard of that not working is whenever someone filled out the Modifier and the submodifier but left the Fixed Value field blank. Doubletripple check that, and if you can include a screenshot of it here.
Assuming that you did in fact fill out the fixed value fields to include 1s & 2s to match the Modifier subtypes, I have to ask…. Did you remember to re-save the whole variant race after you added that trait to it?
