I tried looking online for an answer, but couldn't find one. I was just wondering if there is a way to edit existing class features in the character builder? Recently I made some homebrew content that had minor tweaks to an existing subclass. The next time I went to look at my homebrew stuff it was flagged with red text. I never really thought about sharing it or anything, which I can't anyways since it's flagged. It was mostly for personal use in the character builder.
Simply put I don't want to get into trouble for having personal homebrew content on my account, that is a slightly tweaked piece of published content. I never claimed that I created it, and the original is already on the site. I don't understand why there is an option in homebrew creation to use something existing as a template if that creation is just going to get flagged if all you wanted was to slightly edit something.
If there is an existing feature in the character builder that allows you to edit a feature and I simply missed it please let me know so I can just start using that instead of making a bunched of flagged content. This is not meant to be a critique of the site in anyway, it is simply a post by a new member who doesn't want to get into trouble while learning the features of the site. Thank you in advance :)
If you're not trying to publish, don't worry about the red letter "flag" messages. I have a bunch of homebrew that I have made for campaigns... some with the red lettering for similarities, some due to being created before their auto-approval, etc. You only see it on certain screens. It won't appear on the character sheet, just the homebrew page.
They had to make it noticeable, so made it red. Other than the color, it's just a basic notification message. Nothing bad.
As a second to what Sigvard said, you can put pretty much anything you want in private homebrew. You just can't publish to share any clones of existing subclasses or copyrighted stuff.
