Just wondering if there is a way to add additional skills, proficiencies or languages with the character builder?
My DM allows the rule where you can use downtime to learn new things and my character wanted to learn a new language to be more useful in certain encounters but I don't see any way to manually add them after. Is that a feature that might be added?
You can't just go to edit character and add them in. I believe this is something they are working on for the future.
However, you can do what I do which is create a Magic Item - a wonderous item I call "Downtime Learning" and add modifiers for the proficiencies and languages I have learned. I edit the description to indicate which profiencies and languages learned by downime and then add this item to my character. I then find it in my inventory, click the use icon, and voila the profiencies and languages are then added to the character. If I learn more in future I can edit the item and remove/re-add the item (this may be unnecessary but I do it anyway to be certain) and click use again to have them apply to my character.
Quick and easy workaround while we wait for the update.

I too am looking for this feature.
Bump, I too am looking at ways to modify abilities for when non ASI skill boosting books are found.
Currently the only way to do this is via homebrew magic items.
Character sheets / builder are currently in the process of a major overhaul, so this functionality should be available fairly soon hopefully!

Actually, in your character sheets, there are perfectly good places to type down personal notes. What skills you're adding, etc.
Sure, it ain't a fancy update to the Homebrew, but its doable.
Kinda like, say, your ability with Acrobatics is buffed because you did push ups during your downtime.
OR, just make a note about reading "Dwarven Pickup Lines 101: For Dummies"
Was this option ever included? :)
