Hi, I created a homebrew race and a pair of subraces for it. But when I try to use it in character creation it doesn't show up but the subraces show up as though they were full races in their own right. This also means that none of the parent race's attributes are getting applied to the character, only the subrace's attributes. Please help.
Did you create the subraces through the race? Looking at your published race, I don't see the subraces attached. This may also happen if you only published the main race and not the subraces. Also make sure that your main race is marked "Has Subraces" in the checkbox.
Once the subraces are attached you'll see that when you choose them in the builder that all the main and sub race features are applied.
They will display in the character builder as the subraces, that is as intended.
This may also happen if you only published the main race and not the subraces. Also make sure that your main race is marked "Has Subraces" in the checkbox.
That might explain it. I'll publish those as well and see if that helps. Also, yes I created the subraces through the race.
Edit: I published the subraces and that didn't help.
Hey, I just tried adding your race to my collection and it appears to be working as intended. Perhaps try clearing your cache and giving it another go.
The problem seems to be when choosing the race, I want it to function like the Elf for instance where you say "I wanna be an elf" and click on it and you have to choose a subrace from within that instead of like this
Also, yes I do see my parent race's traits showing up now so that much is good although I did notice something I intended to add but forgot to, If I create a new version of this race do I have to go in and rebuild the subraces again too?
Oh ok, glad to know. Also on the topic of homebrew races, can I make a new version of it (since I can't edit the published one) without having to rebuild the subraces again or would I have to make those again and publish them too? (What happened was I forgot to add the ability score improvement to the parent race.)

Hey Himitsu_Yami.

Hope some of this helps.

Homebrew races don't group up like that currently (unless they are a subrace or variant of an official race).
