I attempted to create a homebrew background that would grant a starting feat. You can choose options from existing and homebrew feats when creating the background itself, but in character creator, it only seems to show the existing feats, the homebrew ones disappear. I can add these manually of course, but is this a known issue? Anyone have a workaround?
Hoping to get this fixed as well, also wondering; is it possible to add multiple feats to 1 background. I'm trying to add a few minor feats that progress as the party hits milestones, and I can currently set up a background with any number of modifiers but only 1 feat. I can add manually but I try to keep as much in the existing interface as possible.
Do you think we'll need to tick a box to make a feat a background feat in the future or something?
Who knows? 🤷♂️ Maybe. It really all depends on exactly how WotC addresses it in the rules. If they move forward with “feat categories” then that’s certainly a possibility. If WotC handles it in the rules as just a level distinction like “1st level” feats or “4th level” feats the. they might tie it into the level prerequisite settings. Of course, knowing how DDB sometimes sets stuff up in the content builder it may be something completely different.

It’s a known issue. The workaround is to add the feat manually.

Not that I am aware, no.

My Brews:
Race: Tropical Dwaves Spells: Summon Spirits Rites of Mummification
Monster: Osprey Feat: Skill Mastery–Animal Handler (Provides DCs for training animals applicable to those with and without this feat)
