I am working on a homebrew subclass that offers unarmored defense. I have the modifiers added correctly, but I can't get the snippet to suppress the + sign. Here's the text I've used.
While not wearing armor, your base AC equals {{10+modifier:dex+modifier:wis#unsigned}} + any Shield bonus.
The character sheet still shows the + in the features and traits summary.
While not wearing armor, your base AC equals +18 + any Shield bonus.
As far as I can tell, I've coded the snippet text correctly, but it's not doing what I want in the character sheet. Is this a coding problem or a refresh problem?

That should do it, but you may need to wait a bit before it updates. Or switch the character to a different subclass and switch it back.

Changing the subclass and switching back did the trick. Thanks for confirming I did it right. I'm glad it was a refresh problem and not something I did to break the subclass.
How do I add weapon properies to text? I am making a homebrew magic polearm and one of it's abilities is turning into any other polearm basically all weapons with the Heavy and Reach properties (it's intended for a character with the Polearm Master feat).
I tried "[property]Heavy[/property]" and "[weapon property]Heavy[/weapon property]" already, but those did not work.

Hi there, I'm trying to homebrew a spell. I'm finding a common problem whenever I'm doing this, the spells aren't scaling with the levels. I'm adding modifiers (for example: spell deals 4d6 lightning damage) and I'm adding scaling (for example: for each level above 2nd increase the damage by 1d6). But the scaling isn't happening and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried different scaling variations; spell level, character level and spell scale, none of which seem to make it work. Are there any tooltips I should be adding somewhere that will allow for my scaling to work or am I just using all the wrong combinations by sheer misfortune?
This is the spell in mention:
Your movement speed for one round doubles and as you move a trail of lightning follows you that remains for that round. Attacks of opportunity have disadvantage against you as you move at high speed. Each creature that attempts to pass through your trail of lightning must succeed a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 4d6 lightning damage, taking half on a successful save. Creatures who end their turn in the trail automatically fail the Dexterity saving throw and take full damage.
At Higher Levels.You gain an additional 10ft. of movement and an additional 1d6 of damage for each spell slot you use above 3rd level.

"Spell Scale" is the scaling type you want for this. If you hover over the little ? icon next to it, you can see the descriptions of the types.
What exactly did you add in the "At Higher Levels" section below? You would need two things there for this, one for the damage (with modifier set to the damage and scale effect set to "additional points") and another for the speed increase (which would need to be "Special" for the scale effect since there's no direct support for this).

{{classlevel}} Is not working for me on a 2024 character sheet. I switched the subclass and then back again several times. I even waited overnight. Nada. It works on a 2014 character sheet.
I'm trying to make a dropdown menu for skill proficiencies and languages to select for a subclass I'm homebrewing. Are there any snippet codes for that?

No because that's not what snippet codes are for. They don't create interactive elements - it's just a way to show info on a sheet in a clearer way by replacing text. See Post 1.
What you want is a Modifier, so Add Modifier, Type: Proficiency / Language, Sub-type: Choose a proficiency/language.

I am trying to homebrew in a 3rd-party subclass with this feature: Each willing creature of your choice within 30 feet of you gains temporary hit points equal to half your bard level + your Charisma modifier. I tried to code the temp hit points by doing {{ ( ( classlevel/2 ) modifier:cha ) }}, but it would not work. I could not find out what the problom could be, so I would love some help with this.

If you want to add two things together, you need to use a plus sign between them.
Thank you for the help, but adding the + did nothing. This is how it is: {{ ( ( classlevel/2 )+modifier:cha ) }}. I did try leaving a space on both sides as well, but that also did not work.

Hi friends, I have this in a barbarian subclass feat, for a 2014 sheet: When you hit a creature with this attack, you can force them to make a Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of their next turn.
specifically,
Wisdom saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier)
{{8+proficiency+modifier:con#unsigned}}
{{8+proficiency+modifier:con}}
{{savedc:con}}
I saved, refreshed and changing subclass to update it, but neither of those worked.
You're certain you're entering the snippets in the Snippet box and not Descriptions box? And you're sure you're reading it on the sheet (where snippets show) not from the sidebar (which shows full description when you click the feature)?

Ahh! That worked, I forgot snippet vs description and only had it in description (thinking snippet was "the short version". Thanks!

Has anybody asked or figured out how to make the spell snippet code read for 2024 versions of spells? Especially for homebrew monsters?
Are you maybe talking about the tooltip tags? Use the “spells” tag instead of “spell”.

The tag you want for those is "wprop".
