Hey, so I'm currently trying to piece together a homebrew race I got and they have an ability that allows them to make a sleight of hand check to stow or draw an item as a bonus action. However, despite putting under the activation type "bonus action" it still only appears under the "features & traits" tab of the character sheet. Not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, but help would definitely be appreciated. I'll go ahead and put each option I selected just to make sure I include as much information as possible.
I added an Action under the Racial Trait of the homebrew race.
The Action has:
Action Type: General
Ability Score Type: DEX
Display as Attack: No
Activation Type: Bonus Action
Those are all the options I have selected. I don't think it's the "display as attack" option being set to "No" because I originally just didn't have anything in that selection, but I just want it to go under bonus actions on the character sheet. Thanks!
Hi, is this topic already solved? I have just made a homebrew beast that got the Combat Wild Shape bonus action but it isn't showing up in the creature stats when I select it at extra's in a character sheet.
Your issue and the one this thread was originally in regards to have nothing to do with one another. Monster statblocks are mostly just a formatted, form-fillable PDF.
After you add/edit/delete anything from any type of homebrew, after you hit the main [SAVE CHANGES] button it takes around 20ish minutes for things to update. If you added that monster to the character sheet either before you added the bonus action to the monster (or before the monster statblock had finished updating) it might be stuck on an old version in the server cache. Add a class level to that character, and then remove it again. Then give it another 20 minutes and check the Extra again.
