I have a homebrew race that's made of living potion ingredients, and part of it is choosing a resistance to one of a few elemental damage types. I also want to have it so their unarmed strikes do the elemental damage that they're resistance to. I know I have to add modifiers or actions to an option to do that, but how would I go about it exactly?
You would add a Weapon Action and set the ability score used (presumably Str), the “die type” and “dice count” for the damage, set it as having an “attack range” of melee, designate the “weapon type” as natural weapon, set the “activation type” to action and “display as attack” to yes, and check the “is proficient” and “affected by martial arts” boxes. Then make sure that you list the correct damage type. Finally, include the snippet for the attack as well and [SAVE]. Then do that for every Option listed under the trait that grants this natural weapon.
Now, I’m not entirely sure how you designed your species. So I can’t tell you exactly how to set up your Options properly. However, I can tell you two things that will help:
