I am creating a homebrew shield that can be thrown, similar to the "Captain America" shield but it doesn't always come back. Because it is capable of being thrown, I wanted to reduce the AC bonus from +2 to +1. How do I put that in D&D Beyond? I have tried the "set - armor class" with fixed value of -1 and 1, as well as "set - minimum base armor" with fixed value of 1 and -1. How can I get it to show a +1 to AC instead of the standard +2? 

I also wanted to add the "thrown weapon property" and "light weapon property" while also adding the "ranged weapon attack" and nothing I try is working to allow the player to throw it. Maybe I'm just missing something but I am sure this can be done somehow. 

Please help :)

Try modifier Bonus - Armor Class fixed value: -1

Shields can't be assigned weapon properties.

Well, technically it is possible to add them, it just won’t do any gud.

Actions cannot be added to magic items. You would have to start with something like a light hammer, and adding a +1 bonus to AC and call it a shield.
