Good morning my fellow role-players from the Gulf Coast! So I'm running a D&D 3.5E Eberron published campaign for my 5E online group in a couple of months, and there's an event that happens where the PCs gain either Aberrant Dragonmarks or their own true Dragonmarks change slightly. Thus giving them additional uses of their original Dragonmarks or the new abilities of the appearing Aberrant Dragonmark. I'm running into some frustration as DDBynd isn't giving me a whole lot of options to do this. First off, there's no option that I can find that will allow me to adjust a player's character sheet. For instance, I could just add additional spell uses of a Dragonmarked House spell ability from the event mentioned above. Or if there were actual Dragonmarked Feats like in 3.5, I could just go with that option. But there are not. At least, not that I can tell. But there is an Aberrant Dragonmark Feat, which seems to be the only thing I can modify on a player character sheet. So, I think I'll just go with giving my PCs the Magic Initiate feat or Metamagic Adept feat representing the changes in their True Dragonmarks from character creation. Which leads me to another question, why are adding feats to a character something a DM can modify, but not spells known or spell slots available? So my request is this, can DDBynd facilitate DMs almost full control over a player character sheet for reasons such as homebrew rules, older versions converted to 5E etc. Thanks for hearing me out and looking forward to some feedback and thoughts. Thanks all!
in 5e, aside from the Aberrant Dragonmark, Dragonmarks are part of a race/subrace/variant race, not a separate feat. So you would have to create a homebrew race based on the race in question and change the specifics there, then change the race of the character. Alternatively, depending on the changes you are making, you might be able to create a homebrew feat to reflect the changes.
I just checked, and I have the ability to make tons of changes to my player's character sheets: race, class, item inventory, spells learned or prepared, etc.

I mean what you are asking for is a homebrewed dragon mark feat.
well just homebrew a new Feat using the aberrant mark as a template and - bam DM customized character sheet.
this website is not perfect but has lots of homebrew options. Aka if you need a non official thing you need to make it yourself.
Thanks all for the advice. I completely forgot about the community Homebrew Feats. Gonna peruse those and see what I can find. Cheers!
