I actually made a video for NapInCamo who was having difficulty subbing to threads without posting in them. I guess I can put this here if it will help you.

Hey! DM trying to create a species here. I'm trying to add an optional addidional speed past the base walking (so giving a player the option between an additional swim/fly/climb speed) but I can't figure out how to get the actual choice part in the character creator to work. I've got it set up as: Trait -> Speed -> Trait Option -> Modifiers -> Speed (fly/swim/climb) -> Fixed Value (30)
I'd like it to show up as an option to choose one in the species section of the character builder but I'm having trouble. Anybody know how to fix? or if im doing it wrong entirely aha

I like cats and my favorite color is yellow. I write fantasy.
I want to create a stuffed other that does this: affects the person holding it as if by the calm emotions spell.

The Adversary, Destroyer of Queens, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragoness, Princess of This World, Mother of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lady of Darkness orStardust
Now take 5d20 bludgeoning, cold, fire, force, lightning, necrotic, piercing, poison, psychic, radiant, slashing, and thunder damage, and I don't care if you have immunities or resistances.
I want to create a stuffed other that does this: affects the person holding it as if by the calm emotions spell.
Calm Emotions makes a target immune to either Charmed OR Frightened, as determined by the caster OR the spell makes the target indifferent to creature it would otherwise consider hostile, as determined by the caster.
Since the spell requires so many choices being made by a caster, and is situational, - it would be basically useless to make an item affect a holder like this.
If you just want the holder be immune to charm or fear just say so and use the relevant modifier.
Type: Immunity Sub-Type: 'Charmed' or 'Frightened' as appropriate.

Help. I'm trying to create a homebrew species that has a natural weapon. I have the features set as modifier: natural weapon; submodifier: bludgeoning; ability score: strength; dice count:1; dice size: d6. In the character sheet it doesn't even show up. Did i do something wrong?

I'm just your everyday dungeon master. Ignore that jar full of souls. And those bones in the corner are just props, don't worry. I'm definitely NOT a lich. Definitely.
Yes, I like beholders. Yes, I curated an exquisite personality for commoner #2864. Yes, my catchphrase is "are you sure?"

The natural weapon modifier doesn't add the natural to the sheet, it modifies any existing natural weapons the character already has.
A natural weapon is added as an action, not via modifier.

I just tried using this guide and when i try to create a rollable interace it does not show the rollable interface within the encounter in the stat block, i even used the club example and it still does not show. i am not an expert by any means, but i would appreciate the assistance.

If this is for an action for a subclass feature, species, feat then the guide has everything you need. However, if you can provide specifics of what you are making I can help further.
If this is for an action for a magic item - a magic item cannot add actions.

Is it cheating to make armor that makes your AC 18?
Depends.
AC 18 armour already exists as mundane option, it's Plate armour, worth 1,500 gold.

The thing is, trying to write a guide or make a video is going to take a really long time (several hours) because homebrew background creation can get very complicated due to how very clunky and cumbersome the tool is on here - especially since 2024 versions of backgrounds aren't properly supported.
Therefore the best thing we can advise is look at the closest background you have available, making a copy, and editing it or seeing how it works and trying things out.
