I'm converting a feat to the 2024 rules and need help configuring two selectable proficiencies in the D&D Beyond homebrew feat editor.
The feat allows a character to choose two different proficiencies from this list:
Carpenter's Tools
Cook's Utensils
Navigator's Tools
Water Vehicles
One Musical Instrument
I examined the 2024 Crafter feat and found that it uses three separate Proficiency → Choose an Artisan's Tool modifiers to grant three choices.
However, my feat allows a mixture of Artisan's Tools, Navigator's Tools, Water Vehicles, and Musical Instruments.
My questions:
Is there a way to restrict proficiency choices to this specific list?
Can I configure two selections from the same list, rather than creating separate options for each tool?
Should I use feat Options with individual modifiers, or is there a modifier subtype that handles this combination?
I've already created a Shipboard Training option, but it currently displays the list as descriptive text rather than granting two actual proficiency choices.
I'd appreciate any examples of existing feats or homebrew configurations that accomplish this.
In a homebrew subclass or species, you’d be able to set this up as Options, then configure it to let the player choose two. Feats are a lot more limited, though.
In this case, you might need to use a broader subtype, like “Choose a tool”, then have your players select only the choices specified in the feat text.
Alternatively, you could ignore the modifiers entirely and have them just manually add their chosen proficiencies to the sheet. They can do that by clicking inside Proficiencies & Training, then using the sidebar.
