Basically what the title says. I’m trying to replace class features for a homebrew subclass but it isn’t doing it on my test character. I marked a skill to replace another one and it just isn’t doing what I want it to.
Replacement and Additional class features work the way they do for the Optional Class features from Tasha’s Cauldron.
ENABLING CONTENT FOR YOUR CHARACTER
Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything is part of the core setting for Dungeons & Dragons, so there isn't a toggle switch in the character builder to enable/disable the content. It does however provide two significant sets of optional rules: customizing your origin, and optional class features. Both of these can be enabled/disabled on a per character basis, as well as allowing you to choose which of the options you want!
CUSTOMIZING YOUR ORIGIN
When you make your D&D character, you have an array of options in the Player’s Handbook and other books, to create the sort of adventurer you want. The "Customizing your Origin" rules add to those options, making it possible to realize even more character concepts.
These options are accessible using the menu in the character builder (see the image below)and include changing: Ability Score Increases, Languages, and Proficiencies.
The Custom Lineage option shown in the sidebar of the chapter are supported using the Custom Lineage Race in the Character Builder.
ISSUE - stacking Ability Scores. We are aware that our current implementation of swapping ASI (Ability Score Increases) doesn't enforce the restriction that each ASI cannot be places in an Ability Score that already has an increase (see quoted rule below). We are planning to work on addressing this.
Take any ability score increase you gain in your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can’t apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can’t increase a score above 20.
NEW SUBCLASSES & OPTIONAL CLASS FEATURES
Every class, other than Artificer, has gained new OCF (Optional Class Features). These are enabled individually in the character builder, so you can select which ones you wish to add to your character, or in the case of some cleric & ranger features, replace existing features.
SOURCE TOGGLES. Note that some of the subclasses presented in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, have been previously published in other sourcebooks, such as Mythic Odysseys of Theros. On D&D Beyond, content is primarily sourced to the first sourcebook where it appeared. This means for subclasses such as Bard: College of Eloquence, or Paladin: Oath of Glory, you will need to enable the source toggle for "Magic: the Gathering Content" to use these subclasses.

A subclass cannot replace base class features.
