Hi, i have followed the tutorial for homebrew items, have even previously made a couple, but for some reason the modifiers aren't showing when i equip it to a character.
It is a weapon, and i have tried making it both from 'copy of' as well as from scratch. Essentially have 3 modiers, one for extra damage. One for +1 to charisma and one for proficiency in insight. I can see it all listed in the description, so the attack damage is listed, but when i roll it is the normal damage for that weapon. The charisma and proficiency whilst in the description, also don't get added on.
For the extra damage the system will not add additional dice.
For the +1 to CHA, you have the subtype as Choose an Ability Score, it should be Charisma Score and have a Fixed Value of 1.
For Insight proficiency, you can either give it proficiency or you can give it double proficiency (or expertise). It won't automatically double it if you already have proficiency already.
'For the extra damage the system will not add additional dice.'
Is this still the case? I am having the same issue. Why offer the option (extra damage) if it's not going to show?
I believe it is still the case. From what I understand, before WotC bought DDB, they had a strict policy of only programming the tools to accommodate exactly what's spelled out in the books and when the system was first programmed, those functions were not in any book.
On the other hand, the modifiers page and all of it's drop downs are used to build everything from subclasses to feats to spells, etc. So somewhere in the tool a particular combination of drop downs uses Number of Dice and Type of Dice (or whatever those drop downs are called, I'm not looking at an example), just not for Magic Items -> Bonus -> 3 -> d8.

Is it possible to screenshot the Modifiers section of your homebrew items?
Do any of the items require attunement?
