Heya, I'm working on a custom race for an upcoming campaign and I'm having a few issues.
I've copied the Dwarf class as a template for my class. To the ability scores I added the 'Choose Intelligence or Wisdom Modifier'.
Seems straightforward enough.
But then I tried to create a character with this race and this option doesn't ever appear during character creation (in the part where you add a race), and it doesn't get applied to the final character.
I then changed it to 'Choose an Ability Score', to see if I could make it work... no dice.
I can't figure out where to enter the ability score modifiers, nevermind have them not show up. This builder is not intuitive! You would think they would just have a section for ability mods, as any nonhuman race will have them, and you could just input them beside the ability.
Yeah, the builder isn't super user friendly, but I think they made that trade-off for flexibility of the builder. I realize that it's really powerful now that I got the hang of it.
I figured out my previous issue, there was a 'show in character builder' switch that defaulted to off for some reason.
The way I learned was to create a copy of an existing race and see how it's done in that specific race. My Ghoul Folk race is just a highly modified version of the Half elf.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
This is the race in question:

Actually, even stranger, every racial ability with options refuses to show up.

So how do I add the racial ability mods numbers?

Thanks! Got it now! My Minotaus shall reign supreme!
