I am making a homebrew race that borrows the Goblin's Fury of the Small trait, however I don't know how to add the trait myself. I figured I could just go back and make my race as a Goblin variant but the sunk cost fallacy has kicked in and I feel like I've put too much time into making this race and learning how to use D&D Beyond's homebrew tools to start over, and I'd rather just figure out how to manually add the trait.

The way I've set it up so far is that it's a General Action, however I don't know how to make the damage scale with level. Any advice on how to properly replicate the trait would be greatly appreciated.

Make a race using Goblin as the template to see how it’s done and then delete it afterwards.

Doesn't seem like I can do that. I can create a blank Goblin Variant but it doesn't let me view any of the default Goblin traits.

Not a blank variant, not a “variant” at all. And actual base-class goblin. Dis you buy Volo’s from DDB? You would need that to access the Goblin.

You need to make an Action with a “reset type” of Short Rest. After you save you will be able to edit that new action and [ADD LIMITED USE DATA]. The rest is just a snippet.

Yeee, I own Volo's, I have access to Goblins, I just assumed using a race as a template meant picking the variant option since Goblins don't seem to support subraces. I assume by the way that the "limited use data" is how I get FotS's level based damage scaling.

 Don’t make a subrace. Just make a base race. Using Goblin as the template. Not a variant race, not a subrace, just make a copy of the Base Goblin race. You are not doing that to serve as the basis for yours. You are creating it so you can dissect it like the frog in 9th grade Bio so you can learn how to recreate it from scratch on your race.

No, Limited Use Data is how you get the 1ce/short rest. The rest of it is snippets (like I said). Just create the goblin and see for yourself, you’ll even be able to copy/paste.

I just realized damage values don't matter here, I just need to add the option to use FotS.

Can I reopen this thread? Volo's is no longer available and I have no way to use goblin as a template. I've been creating it from scratch. The [ADD LIMITED USE DATA] part is new to me and I could use additional clarification if possible. Are there other races I can use as an example?

Sure. What races do you have access to?

Hey there, I didn’t expect to have the legend of these forums respond.

The classes I have are,
Arakokcra, Dwarf (hill & mountain), Elf (High, Wood, Eladrin, Dark), Genasi (all 4), Gnome (Rock, Forrest, Deep), Goliath, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Halfling (Lightfoot & Stout), Human & Variant Human, Teifling, Variant Asamir. 

Thanks in advance. 

Legend? Who? Where?

Unfortunately none of those races have anything you could look at to help you figure it out. The best I can do at the moment is to direct you towards the Homebrew Subclasses  Species FAQ, question #4: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq#HomebrewSubclasses&SpeciesFAQ). If you need more help post again and I’ll talk you through it.

I'll take a crack at it through some trial and error. Thanks for the link, that guide is just lovely!

P.s. I visit S/E PA at least once a month. lol Greetings from NH. 

Okay. It’s really not that hard, and like I said if you need help just lemme know. I’m glad you find the FAQ useful. If you don’t mind, please do me a favor and vote “very helpful” in the poll attached to that thread. I’d appreciate it.

Greetings!!
