I’m creating a homebrew subclass with the D&D beyond homebrew tool and wanted to make the amount of times a class feature can be used scale with the charisma modifier. I might’ve completely overlooked something if it is possible and it’s really easy. I’m new to homebrewing subclasses so any tips would be awesome as well!
p.s. it’s a warlock subclass based off of the sirens from Greek Mythology, idk if that’s important to know but I thought I’d throw it out there just in case it is.
I have one more question regarding damage scaling I'm using the action override tool to scale the damage. So far it scales fine from 1st to 6th level and then won't scale from 6th to 10th level. But if I remove the 10th Level override it scales the damage fine from 6th to 14th level. So I'm just confused as to what I did wrong for it to do something like that? and if there's a way to fix it or if I just have to deal with it. I've tried a few things from the FAQ which helped me scale it from level 1-6 but it just seems to be having a hard time with the 10th.
Edit - I didn't realize deleting a message was against the rules until just now, so I apologize for that. I didn't like how the last message was worded, It didn't get my question across well.

Two things:
Without knowing exactly what you’re attempting with the damage scaling I can’t really answer your question.
Deleting posts is not against the rules, and I’m not sure where you got the impression that it was.
I am trying to have damage scale similarly to how a spell would scale from one level to the next so like at the 1st level it does 2d6 and then 6th 3d6, 10th 4d6 but the 10th level scale isn't working for some reason. Would there be a way to show what I'm trying to do?
And about the deleted post, I saw something in the rules about post bumping and the way I interpreted it was that what I had done previously was unintentionally against the rules but if not then I must have just misunderstood.

”Post bumping” means going into an old post and just posting something like the word “bump” for no reason other than to move it to the top of the list. You’re all good.
You have provided some useful information, but not enough. The first image shows the top half of how the Action is set up, I need to see the other half too. The second image tells me nothing that you haven’t already explained, I need to actually see how each of those three Level Overrides are set up. It would also help to show me how you set up the Limited Use data, just in case it’s relevant. So I need 5 more images, 1 of the bottom half of the Action, 1 of the limited use section, and 1 of each of the three level overrides.
From that first image I can already see that you’re filling in too many fields, and that they are telling the system to do conflicting things. You need to delete a few things, and change a couple more. I explain it better in the image below:
I apologize for the late response I had a lot going on for the last couple of days. Here are the screenshots you requested starting with the second half of the first page!
Here is the Limited action use page!
And last but not least, the three level override pages!
If there is anything else that would be helpful to know I can screenshot it I haven't changed anything since my last post because as I said before I got really busy for the last few days.
Edit: Also I am aware the 14th level changes to a short rest, I did that on purpose.

You would create an Action attached to that feature, and set the Limited Uses to match the Cha mod. You can learn how in the Jomebrew Subclasses & Species FAQ, question #4: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq#HomebrewSubclasses&SpeciesFAQ).

Okay! Awesome I’ll take a look at that and thank you!

Yes, you can take screenshots of each of those level scalevalues and post them. You can learn how here: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/193584-how-to-post-images-in-forum-posts-and-pms-here-on).

I took two just in case I messed something up in the first half of the feature that would effect the scaling
And here is where I tried making the scaling
I could be doing something completely wrong. also if you need more screenshots of something please let me know, I really appreciate the help!

Never mind, I must have been confusing the system with something in that first page because the scaling is working perfectly now!
Thank you so much for the help!
I’m glad you got it working. Sorry it took so long on my end, been dealing with a lot lately.
