Howdy! Title pretty much says it all. I'm trying to make a homebrew subclass, I've got my features and trais all lined out and described and such like, but when I look at the actual character sheet, it has all the official features and traits and descriptions of what they do, but the homebrew stuff only displays the name of the feature and nothing else. Is there a fix fot this that I'm just not seeing because I'm so new to homebrew?
As Mairondil mentioned, you have to fill out your “snippets.” The text entered into the “Description” field displays everywhere except on the character sheet itself, the contents of the “snippet” field display on character sheets. It’s meant to hold an abridged version of the full description so that it takes up less space. Snippets can also include some codes to automatically calculate and display some data like save DCs and stuff like that.
They do! I click on them and get the full description. But I’ve also filled out the snippets, because I’d read about that on another thread, but even with filled out snippets, I’m just getting the feature name in the character sheet.

Sounds like you need to fill out some snippet fields. When you click on the subclass feature's name, does your description show up in the sidebar?
