I want to set Athletics as a Dexterity skill. How would I do that? I get as far as placing the description as a Racial Trait, but can't figure which menu items in Modifiers will make this adjustment for a character sheet. Help, please.
You can't change how skills fundamentally work, but you can add a custom skill called Athletics to a character sheet and set it's ability to Dexterity. It won't replace the existing Strength based skill, but you can have it display with the appropriate modifiers

Sure, you can totally do this directly on the character sheet!
On the character sheet, lick on ATHLETICS to open the side panel.
Click on the Customize link.
Click on the box for Skill Stat Override and change it to the stat you want, optionally making a note so you remember why later!
You'll see the ability for that skill change on the character sheet and be highlighted in blue, so you know it's manually changed.

Is there any way to add the Skill Stat override to a Race of Subclass? Really for no other reason than getting rid of the blue text lol.

Thanks @Davedamon. I don't suppose there's a way to set things so this custom Athletics can be added upon selection of the homebrew race?
