Will the monstrous races from Volo's be added so that we can create homebrew sub-races for them? For example, I'd like to create a sub-race for goblin, but goblin isn't one of the base race choices.

EDIT> Okay, I see where I can create a Variant Goblin (which also, confusingly includes sub-races) but I don't seem to be able to achieve what I want.

I am playing in a campaign where the DM has allowed us to choose a Feat at first level, and a bonus Skill proficiency. There is currently no way to add extra Feats or Skills outside of what the rules allow, so since only Variant Human's can add Feats at level 1, there is no way to add a feat to any non-variant human until level 4.

I tried creating a Variant Goblin, but I don't seem to be able to add an option to allow an extra Feat to be added to my character, nor an extra skill proficiency.

Create a goblin variant, add a new trait, name it whatever you want, and then add the feat modifier to that trait. Then select "Choose a Feat" from the options listed.

You need to add a modifier to the trait to provide a mechanical effect like a feat. As the orange box says, you can add modifiers after you have created the trait, so save the trait and then add the modifier.

You have to click "Save". The message in orange tells you that you can add options, modifiers, spells, and limited use once the racial trait is created. Jackson beat me to it!

This is correct. When you add a feat as a modifier, you can either choose a specific feat to grant or the ability to choose any available feat. Your choice.

Sorry, I'm not understanding you. The image below shows the options available to me. I want to have the character builder offer my goblin PC the ability to choose a Feat from a drop down menu.

I don't want to add a modifier, I don't want to replictate a Feat. I want the character builder to show that at 1st level my goblin PC may choose a Feat, and offer a drop down menu of all the feats available, just like a Variant Human would see.

Yes, the instructions Jackson is giving you are correct. Go to "Add a Modifier" then choose "Feat" in the Modifier Type. Then choose "Choose a Feat" in the modifier subtype. It's that easy. Gosh darn it you guys. :P

Genius! Thank you everyone, I've got it working now. Y'all are the best.

Hooray!! Have fun with your Goblin. :)

Happy to be of assistance! The homebrew tools are quite powerful, but there's definitely a learning curve.

Now I'm just trying to figure out if/how I can share this homebrew with others in the same campaign when i am not the DM. :-/

 The same way you would if you were the DM; someone needs to have enabled content sharing in the campaign and the character needs to be in the campaign.

 The DM has enabled content sharing. I have created a variant race homebrew for someone else. I want to be able to share it with them so they can use it for their character.
