I'm trying to set up a homebrew race with a few subraces for use in a campaign, and I can't seem to get it working in the character builder. It has several subraces, all of which were created through the main race and are published individually - it lookslike it should be okay, but it isn't. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong with it?
It will never group them the way the system is designed. Since you created subraces, the parent race will not show up in character creation. You cannot choose the parent race, so it only gives you the options to select the subraces, and it doesn’t group them like Elves and Dwarves.

OH! Huh. It looks like they show up underneath the subrace of Human in this setup, which is... strange! But they do seem to be there. Thank you!
Happy to help. You must have designated human as their “race group.”
