As the title implies, I'd like to know if it is possible to be able to add in a custom modifier, instead of choosing one from the dropdown menu provided.
More specifically, when I create a homebrew feature that has options, and those options contain various modifiers, I'd like to be able to customize how those modifiers work. There are some options that I would like to include in homebrew, but I cannot. These options include ignoring types of cover when making ranged attacks, having advantage on grappling checks, and things of that sort. As of now I can kinda sorta work around it by having the information written in the "Details" section, but if we could get the option to directly input into the "Modifier Subtype" section, then that would really help!
That, or I'd like to request additional subtypes be added such as Grapple, 1/2 and 3/4 cover, Surprise, etc.
Thanks in advance for looking at this!

I know what you're thinking: "In that flurry of blows, did he use all his ki points, or save one?" Well, are ya feeling lucky, punk?
User created modifiers will probably not be a thing for quite a while, as a modifier may require new logic that needs also has to be built into the API / Rules Engine by us.
However, what may potentially useful is for the community to start a thread that lists the modifiers they'd like to see created. The more popular ones may be something that we bring in to our production schedule. No guarantees there, but I see that as the best mechanism to get them added into the character sheet.
