Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me troubleshoot why the modifiers are not working on my homebrew item Beacon of Protection. I made this homebrew item as a copy of Cloak of Protection, which has the same modifiers I'm hoping the item to have (+1 bonus to AC and Saving Throws). The only other change I made was to not require attunement, but I also tried turning this requirement on to see if the modifiers would work and that didn't help. Here's one of the characters in my party that I've added the item to, and I don't see that it's increasing the character's AC or Saving Throws. Please help.

Because the Cloak requires Attunement, when you remove that it makes things go wonky. If you recreate the item from scratch it should work just fine.
As always, remember to re-save your homebrew after you add those modifiers.

Thanks @IamSposta! Recreating the item from scratch did the trick.
