Trying to work on a playable Mind Flayer race. After feedback I was wanting to give the player a choice to choose between two cantrips and two 2nd level spells. It would work like this:
At first level: Chose one of the two cantrips
At third level: you get the other cantrip, and chose one of two 2nd level spells
at fifth level: you get the other 2nd level spell
My issue is I don't know how to make that a choice that you get at certain levels. I figured I could just chose which spells the player gets at those levels, but I don't like the idea of not letting the player decide.
Thank you for all the help!
And if you'd like to check out the current version of the mind flayer, here's a link!
No tutorials that I know of (there probably are some). Just trial and error mostly. There is also those ? buttons that are supposed to help somehow (not sure if they work on mobile).
Making it so when the player picks the race they chose one of two cantrips, then when they turn level 3 they get the other one
And once they turn level 3 they chose one of two spells, then when they turn level 5 they get the other one
My plan was to have it work like warlock invocations where you chose from a list and get a number of choices at certain levels, but the issue is I don't think that code is available for races.

It is.
Though you probably have to make it 2 different features, 1 for cantrips and 1 for leveled spells. After checking "has options" box, there should be a field that says "levels options available" (or something), you want to put "1,3" and "3,5" in those.

You could make 2 options lists. One for cantrips with options at level 1 and 3. The other for leveled spells with options at level 3 and 5.
Is there a tutorial you know of for this? I get the idea of what to do, thank you by the way, but I'm having trouble making it happen.

Yeah I've been giving this a try for the past few hours lol. I'll probably just take another crack at it tomorrow. Thank you again for the help!
Which part are you having trouble with (specifically)?

Oh shoot! Okay. Thank you!
Okay I went in to do that but I'm not finding the levels options available or anything equivalent ;-;
