I was making a lot of homebrew races as many of my players find this site to be much easier to navigate and read then my personal notes when they make characters for my campaigns. I just added a race with subraces and instead of keeping them all together the site split up the subraces into different creations insead of keeping them with their original one. The sub races don't make any sense without being attached to the original one and I couldn't publish the original but the subraces were fine. Is this normal, and can I get the subraces unpublished because they are useless if I can't get the original one published as well.

A mod should be able to help you with that, if you want to link to the problem subraces.

Make sure the parent race has "has subraces" checked and the subraces select it as the parent race.

Also, you dont have to publish homebrew for your friends to use it.

Post a link to the race/subraces giving you trouble so a mod can find them (they dont have to be publoshed if they aren't already).

Thanks for your advise everyone. I know I don't need to publish but I feel if I'm already doing the work I should share it. Anyways here's the problem boys.
