I'm making a Okami Race class and want to add a feature where you can choose either claws to deal slashing damage or fangs to deal piercing damage. You'd have to choose one of those options when making the character.
However I can't seem to find how to actually change the damage type when choosing either option. It still is bludgeoning.

I would really appreciate the help thanks!
You cannot replace the base Unarmed strike, only add an additional option for them to use. (Okami can still punch, kick, & headbut).
You would need to set up two Options as part of a single trait attached to your race, one named “Claws,” and the other named “Fangs.”
I gave a full walkthrough on trait Options in the Subclasses & Races FAQ #1: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq).
I also happened to demo natural weapons for another user earlier today: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/140765-trying-to-make-a-vampire).
I hope that helps.
