Im working on making this Gem dragonborn but im trying to get them to say that the save based on Dex instead of Con. I tried changing things but still nothing. Im using a dragonborn race as the base for it but added and changed things to fit the different Gem dragons. Some say Dex while some say Con for the save.
Edit 1: Fixed the first Issue I believe, second one is still needs help though.
Another issue is that when I look at my characters traits tab, it says under damage resistance and dragon breath features that It references and adds stuff related to other dragons that arent Gem dragons. I wanna remove that if possible since It would confuse people that look at it.
Those are the only 2 things that are issues, if you need screenshots of anything for more info then DM me on the website to let me know so I can add you on discord or something then send screenshots. Thanks to anyone that tries to help! ♡
You need to publish the race for it to be visible through links, first off.
I need you to clarify the first problem, do you want the saving throw be a Dex save, or do you want it the dc to be based of the character's dex mod, it's somewhat uncleared.
Ahh I wanted it to be a Dex saving throw against the breath attack but I fixed it now!! And the Dc of it is based on Con like other breath attacks, so better Con modifier (I believe) means others have to make a higher dex roll.
And I cant publish it since its "To similar to dragonborn" but if I add you to a campaign and you make a character using it then you should be able to see the problem Im talkin about I believe?

Good! DON’T PUBLISH IT!! If you publish it you won’t be able to edit it anymore without creating a new version and when you do that thing in races can get lost and would have to be recreated from scratch. We would only be able to see the descriptions of your homebrew, not the guts anyway, so publishing would do more harm than good.

What gets displayed on the character sheet under Features & Traits is whatever is in the “Snippet” field for that trait, and the names of any Actions or Spells attached to that trait. Go through the snippet fields and delete anything that you don’t want displaying on the character sheets, and delete any Actionsthat are attached to the trait that you don’t want there.
What gets displayed on the character sheet under Actions is whatever is in the Snippet field for those actions.
Hmm would it be possible you could personally message me a way to send you images so I could shoe you the problem im having? Because the snippet doesnt have anything that is causing the issue- or atleast frok what I notice.
Including screenshots is easy. First you have to host your image on a site like www.imgur.com, then you need the “direct link” ending in .jpg or .png from that site:
Then you can embed it here using this button:
If you don’t see that button, turn your phone sideways.
The thing is that I did remove them, or atleast some. I sqved 5 of them as a base to make the gem ones but just replaced things like the name and damage type plus range and I made one from scratch to see if that was why it said the other dragons name but still the one made by scratch was also dealin with the issue so I dont think its that. Im really stuck on this one part and thats it.
There are also “granted” Options attached to the Breath Weapon and Damage Resistance traits that get automatically applied based on which Dragon Ancestry is selected. You will have to delete the extra Options from each of those traits too, and then re-save the whole race again. If you don’t re-save using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information, the system won’t pick up your edits.
What probably happened is that you deleted the prerequisites for some of those and changed the rest and since those original prerequisites are no longer there the system is just automatically giving them all to the character.
This is the breath weapons option stuff I've added? It should only have these and none of the other dragons, and I made the Obsidian dragon prerequisites myself from scratch then added them to the Obsidian dragon breath attack so it in theory shouldn't have these problems since all the Obsidian dragon stuff I made by scratch but it is also affected like the others?? So idk really.
Don’t worry about it. Frankly I think there’s a bug somewhere in the backend causing this, as you’re not the only person with the exact same problem today.

Here this link to an album I made using the screenshots should work I believe, but yeah hope these help explain what I mean!
I dont want it to say any of the matalic or chromatic dragon names, I just want the gem dragon names to be shown.
Those are Options attached to those class features. You need to delete the Chromatic and Metallic dragon Options from those features. The only Options you want attached to those features are your Gem options. There is a full walkthrough on how to properly set up Options in the Subclasses & Races FAQ #1: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq).

Btw by scratch I mean I made the options by scratch not the whole race.

Ahh I see, is it possible to have you join my test campaign so you can make a character with it and see if it appears for you?
