I was planning on making a race with the ability to do something similar to the Leonin's Daunting Roar, but could not get it to have a DC of 8+proficiency bonus+Con or too show up as an action on the character sheet. Does anyone know how to do this?
Effect on Fail: whatever is to happen to target on failing the save. E.g.: "Become frightened of you until the end of your next turn."
Activation Type: how it is to be used, such as Action, Bonus Action, etc.
Reset Type: How they get all uses back. Such as Short Rest or Long Rest, etc. Only needed if you plan to limit how many times it can be used. If unlimited, leave blank.
Snippet: A short description of the ability as it will appear on the sheet. You can use {{savedc:ABI}} to indicate the Save DC replacing ABI with the relevant ability score. This is a tag that will be replaced by the result of '8 + character proficiency bonus + Ability score modifier'. This is so it is more convenient to read on your sheet.
Description: the full and long description of the ability. The snippet tags won't work here, as this place is to detail everything in full. This is what is seen in the Race Detail page or when clicking on the feature on the sheet and it opens the side bar.
Save.
On saving you go back to main race edit page. Go back to your newly created feature and edit it then scroll to bottom. You will see Limited Use data. If your feature can only be used a limited amount of times then click Add here. Here you can set number of uses by a set number, by prof bonus, by ability score mod, etc.
Save.
Save again.
Save Changes.
Done.

As a tip if you own content you can create a homebrew copy and then can see how they set it up. This is best way to learn.

In addition to what Cyb3rM1nd wrote, leave every other field blank, especially “attack range.”

It seems to be mostly working, except for the snippet code part. It's putting + The ability score instead of + the ability score modifier.

AlumniFor the snippet code you'll want to use {{savedc:con}}. After saving the race from the main page, allow 15–20 minutes for caching.
