Humbly requesting that Fixed Save DC be an option for Level Overrides in the race creature. I have a race whose racial ability's Save DC increases as the race levels up, but I don't have an option to do this As Is. Figuring this should be a simple addition, as we already have overrides for Fixed Values and Range and such.
Save DCs will already increase as you level up and increase proficiency bonus or the ability it is based on.
But that aside, the current homebrew tools are the same as the tools made to make official content work, so it can't do unusual or creative things. They do plan to overhaul these tools eventually to make them easier to use and add functionality outside what is official.
DxJxC, I don't think you read my post very well. I'm talking about Fixed Save DC's. Aka, you don't add proficiency bonuses. You just have a flat save DC, that's it. There's some third party races that have fixed save dc's that change in certain levels. Like, starts at 8, then improves to 10 at lvl 5, etc. Subclasses already have this feature available, I was just hoping that the Beyond team would add it to races as well. The option is already here. It's not strange or unique. It just needs to be implemented in races AS WELL AS classes.

This is what DxJxC was referring to:

Third party stuff can do all sorts of weird and wonderful things that base D&D doesn't do. That doesn't make this something in need of fixing, it's just something that isn't currently supported by base D&D. As with other things in the past, such as attunement limit, if D&D publishes an official piece of content that does what you're asking, the homebrew tools will hopefully be updated to match that.

This is exactly what I need for my race as well. Sad to see it has never been implemented.

But that's the point of this forum, to ask for things to be implemented. Otherwise, why have a forum like this?
I was pointing out that there are limitations on features that can be added; DDB has to follow the lead set by WotC.
