I've homebrewed a paladin oath for my DnD game, with 2 customized channel divinity features. But when I go to the character sheet, while I see these appearing under features and under actions/bonus actions, I don't see the boxes to check for uses. I think these would be helpful for my player to keep track of their Channel Divinity uses, and I thought that was a base feature to paladins. I made a copy of one of the standard subclasses and didn't see Channel Divinity listed as Class Feature, let alone how such use boxes could be set up.
Channel Divinity is a Paladin class feature, not a subclass feature. Subclasses typically provide specific ways to use it, but they're all drawing from the same pool of Channel Divinity uses — each Channel Divinity option does not, and is not supposed to, have its own tracker for uses. There's just one for the Channel Divinity feature as a whole.
That's what I figured, which is why it's weird not to see the boxes for checking off uses. If I made a default Paladin those are there; I figured they'd be there, too, for a homebrewed Paladin - since it's a feature of being a paladin, not any given subclass.

Hey all,
I've homebrewed a paladin oath for my DnD game, with 2 customized channel divinity features. But when I go to the character sheet, while I see these appearing under features and under actions/bonus actions, I don't see the boxes to check for uses. I think these would be helpful for my player to keep track of their Channel Divinity uses, and I thought that was a base feature to paladins. I made a copy of one of the standard subclasses and didn't see Channel Divinity listed as Class Feature, let alone how such use boxes could be set up.
Any ideas?
