I made a Warlock Homebrew Subclass and it doesn't seem to work. I added it to a character of mine, and I set up specific spells to go with the subclass but none of them show up on the list of spells the character knows. Am I missing something?
I just had a look and the spells that you've added are there and showing on the character sheet.
You've added:
All Druid spells.
All Wizard spells.
Animate Dead, chill Touch, circle of death, create undead, finger of death, raise dead, speak with dead.
This means that there are a LOT of duplicates showing when managing spells for this character.
As mentioned above by DxJxC, the behaviour of all warlock subclasses is to add spells to the list of available spells - not to known spells.
The rules on Pact Magic explain this the Warlock Table tells you how many spells your character knows.
On the character sheet, click on the SPELLS tab, then on the MANAGE SPELLS button.
Now click on the Add Spells section in the side bar and you will see all of the spells that are available for this character to learn. In the screenshot below, I have typed in the filter to limit the spells being shown.
I apologize for my confusion, but should I remove the Druid and Wizard spells from the Subclass then? I also understand the Spell Management process, I filled it with spells just to fill it. I'm more confused about how the spells I added to "Specific Spells" don't show up in the Available Spells list such as "Circle of Death", "Create Undead", "Finger of Death", and "Raise Dead." I also went to Level 20 to see if it was a leveling thing, but I still can't see them.
Sorry, this is my first Homebrew, and I'm still trying to understand how it works.
It is mentioned in the warlock class chart, the 4 mystic arcanum features, and the pact magic feature says it can only go to level 5. I see this is also your first time playing warlock.
I don't know why you don't see raise dead, either you didn't look hard enough or messed up adding it.

Warlocks don't automatically learn their additional spells, they just get added to the list that they can learn.
Even the options don't show up and I put the character up to level 20 to see if it was a leveling up issue.
Post the URLs of the homebrew and the test character (neither need to be shared) for a mod to look.

I'm not surprised the character is working exactly as intended, but I am surprised at just how much was added that they didn't think was working.

Is it a Marketplace/Premium account type issue?
Circle of death, create undead, and finger of death are all already warlock spells and level 6 or higher spells have to be learned with mystic arcanum.
It is mentioned in the warlock class chart, the 4 mystic arcanum features, and the pact magic feature says it can only go to level 5. I see this is also your first time playing warlock.
