Hello. I've made a homebrew item that is supposed to reduce all ability scores (charisma, str, ect...) to 10 and I got one to work then none of the others and now I can't get any to work and I even looked at your tips in the ? mark things next to them and according that I should be logging things correctly it's just not applying the new stat scores of 10 to anything when equip. Please help.
The Set - Ability Score modifiers for created for magic items like Gauntlets of Ogre Power, which sets your STR score to 19, but has no effect if your Strength is greater than that. The system is set up to take the highest ability score value given.
A workaround I used (for a trait that makes the character pixie-sized with strength 2) is Bonus - Ability Score with a negative fixed value.
Also, changes to homebrew can take up to 20 minutes to percolate to character sheets.

Mairondil is about as knowledgeable as I am regarding the content creation platform. They wouldn’t have posted if they weren’t at least 95% sure they were right. (And if they were 100% sure they wouldn’t have said “probably.”)
I try not to post a suggestion unless I've tested it myself. I knew Bonus -20 and Set whatever worked in a feat from previous things I've made. I did test Bonus -24 and Set whatever in a magic item the other day when I posted that.
Oh! It's a negative bonus! I misread that thank you so much. It's not that I didn't trust I was just trying to test both methods and see which one I liked more for the over all item.

You'll probably want
Bonus - Ability Score -24
and
Set - Ability Score 10
That way you clear out whatever ability score a person has and set it to 10
