So there is this thing that you can do to make it so a number or something else matches something and isn’t a static number, so you don’t have to do the math like DC: 8 + Strength modifier and says instead DC: 13 for you in your short description. Anyone know how to do that all well and can explain it better to me, as I would like to get more information on how to do that stuff.

The commands look sorta like {modifier:strength} or something like that.

Probably best if you post this in the Homebrew section instead. They will all be doing stuff with HB and so are more likely to know the correct answer.

This is the ticket. Those codes are called “snippets.” The snippet for 8+Str mod is {{(8+modifier:str)#unsigned}}, you can just copy/paste that if you want. However, most DCs also include Proficiency bonus too. If what you really want is 8+Str mod+PB, then the snippet for that is {{savedc:str}}.

I hope that helps.

Thanks

This will help a lot in my homebrews

I’m confused about how to use {{scalevalue}}. Can someone explain it to me?

{{scalevalue}} only works on subclass features and attached actions, and it only displays info you enter into the “Level Scaling” subforms. If you put 1d6 in at 1st level and then 2d8 in at 10th level, then it will display 1d6 wherever you put {{scalevalue}} attached to that subclass feature from 1st-9th levels and 2d8 after that.

Ok. I was trying to use it on my homebrew Dragon Tortles scaleable steam breath.

Any suggestion on how to show that the current damage value is say, 4d10 instead of the original 1d10 after leveling up?

Because the updated Dragonborn have something like that for their breath weapons

What exactly do you want the snippet to display? How is it supposed to scale?

The current damage value for the Steam Breath, as the Fizban’s Dragonborn’s do, 1d10 level 1, 2d10 at level 5, 3d10 at level 11, and 4d10 at level 17 I think. Is there a snippet to show that instead of the starting 1d10 breath, it shows 2d10 if the player is at level 5?

I think this should work:

{{1+(classlevel+1)/6#rounddown,unsigned}}<strong>d10</strong>

 Really, the best place to ask these questions is in that thread that naruhoodie suggested In her post:

Whenever I need help with a snippet, that’s where I go.

Ok. Thanks

{{1+(classlevel+1)/6#rounddown,unsigned}}<strong>d10</strong>

 By the way, I got this: 1+(classlevel+1)/6#rounddown,unsigned - No class level data available

Sorry, try this:

{{1+(characterlevel+1)/6#rounddown,unsigned}}<strong>d10</strong>

 Thanks, it works, it will help me a lot. Thanks again so much.

Happy to help.
