I'm trying to setup a homebrew version of Dreadful Glare - the Save DC is supposed to be 8+cha+proficieny bonus, but I'm not sure how to set that up here? This is a screen shot of how I've laid it out so far...
I wouldn't usually be too hung up on the specifics on this but my friends and I are going to be playing through discord with the Avrae bot so it's important the lookup is correct.... :/
I believe you should not be setting a fixed save DC. The ability score type being set to Charisma should automatically calculate a Save DC based on that ability score. Save DCs are always 8 + proficiency + ability.

This does not seem to work, at least not for attacks. I have a feat that gives the character an attack action, which has an associated save for inflicting a curse. No matter what ability score I choose for the save, it calculates "13" as the save value on the character I tested it on, who has very different ability scores.
This thread has aged as it is almost one year old. D&D Beyond has also seen changed in that year of time.
I would recommend starting a new thread for your issue, detailing what you're trying to create and providing a link to your unpublished homebrew for a moderator to check.
I will be locking this thread now. Thank you!
