I am trying to create a homebrew creature based on one my DM came up with so I could share it with my party members, and it had similar stats to a Draft Horse, but with more HP, and a claw attack instead of a Hooves attack. So I adjusted some stuff, and made the creature, but for some reason, even though its nothing like a Draft Horse anymore, the site still says it's too similar to share with the community. So then I changed everything about it, and it's STILL saying that its too similar to a draft horse. What's the deal? Is it just me?
Can you post a link to it, a mod will be able to see it. Also, homebrew is automatically shared with players in a campaign with you, even if its private.
Re: Houligan - My DM is old school and refuses to create a campaign on here, but all the players use this site. I suppose I could make the campaign myself, but I don't want to use up one of my campaign slots just for this little gesture.
Re: DxJxC - I literally deleted it, and started a new one with no base (from scratch), and it had the same message.

Make sure that you also changed the monster's description and click the save button to retrigger the check.

I don't think there are limited campaign slots, just limited content sharing slots. You don't need content sharing to share private homebrew.
Did you give it a description and click save when it was done (clicking save triggers the check).

D&D Beyond FoundersWhilst the message being displayed isn't very helpful, you need to add a description to your homebrew monster before you can publish it.
The Draft Horse is the first official monster alphabetically that doesn't have a description (I will look at that later).
edit: I checked and can't find any description for the poor Draft Horse in either PHB, DMG, or MM!

There are no campaign slots, only character ones. You can have any number of campaigns, even without a subscription.
