I'm having issues with a custom action I created where I want it to do 1 d8 + dex modifier (not a attack action) It currently works properly if I set it to be a spell action type and shows the 1d8 + dex modifier when I go to roll the die but doesn't work with general and only displays 1d8. Anyone have a idea what I may have set wrong?
If I change type to spell with everything else the same it works correctly and shows Dex bonus on the dice roll
You are doing nothing wrong, it is intended to work that way so there is an option to not automatically include the ability modifier. You will have to designate it as either a spell action or an attack action to get the Dex mod automatically added.
I am trying to accomplish a very similar thing, and I am running into a problem. I am trying to make a Parry reaction, that doesn't use reach or hit dice, just like deflect missiles. The problem is it wont add dex to the damage reduction roll.

You need to set it up as either a Weapon Action or a Spell Action. Just don’t designate an attack type or attack range.
