Apologies upfront if this has been posted somewhere but I can’t seem to find it. Several 2024 features came with the ability to essentially “activate” them which then alters your base stats in certain ways. Best examples I can find would be on a Barbarian, you can activate rage which then gives you your resistances or on Wild Shape Starry Form giving you resistances and your archer constellation bonus action attack. I am trying to create a homebrew monk subclass with a similar activated feature but having no luck. Has anyone figured out how to do those or are they hard coded to those specific features of Rage and Wild Shape?
You can get something similar by creating an option in a feature like the way the Blood Hunter does it. You can now change options in the Features & Traits menu without having to go back into the builder (see screenshot below). I used this for my College of Drama Bard, which does change stats via the Body and Mind feature (shown in the screenshot below). Essentially, you can make that option an on/off feature for what you're looking to do, but I don't think you can directly replicate the Active features of Barbarian Rage and Starry Form.

Feedback and play-testing appreciated!
Hey! Thanks for that. I’ll see if that works.
Update- Razmus FTW. Setting it as an option worked like a charm!
