I'm homebrewing the merfolk race from PS:Zendikar for one of my players. I got the main race down, but for some reason, when I edit the subraces, I can't label their Race Group as Merfolk. Merfolk doesn't even appear as an option (and neither does the homebrew kor I made for another player, but I guess that doesn't matter). I know race grouping is only for organization on the character builder, but not having them grouped correctly is cluttery and annoying.
The merfolk race does have the three subraces set up correctly, and the subraces have merfolk as their parent race correctly. Plus, the details page for the merfolk displays the subraces and their traits correctly. It's just the character builder grouping that I'm having trouble with.
I mean, I currently have the Race Group field empty because Merfolk isn't an option. But they still get the Merfolk traits because Merfolk has the Subraces field filled out correctly. My main issue is that I can't group them in the Character Builder, as the Race Group field says it does.
I am having the same problem. I was finally able to get my homebrew race (Faun) to show up as an option, however now my subraces are grouped under Half-elf. Very frustrating, because I do not want the Half-elf base race, I want my subraces to flow down from Faun so all racial traits/abilities carry over.

Any help is appreciated!
They don’t get grouped. All you can do is name them “Merfolk, X;” “Merfolk, Y;” etc.

Really? So the Race Group field doesn't actually do anything?
That sucks....
It labels them as a race so that Racial Feats work with them.
