I'm trying to set up the Raven Queen as a pact/subclass for warlock. I'm completely new to D&D so I have no idea what I'm doing...lol Would appreciate any help. I'm basically just trying to copy pasta this into D&D beyond. I was able to put all the text in the right places, now I'm trying to figure out how to get the Snippet Code, Bonuses and stuff like that to work.
Edit: Also curious if anyone would know the best way to setup the perch/unperched mechanic in the app as well. Have no idea how to tackle something like that. Also realizing I don't know how to summon the raven in app either. To my knowledge that's usually done by a spell but here it seems to be a class feature.
Here's a link to character sheet so you can see what I've done so far.
Note: I'm aware The Hexblade is available in one of the expansions, not trying to do that; trying to get the patron on page 2 set up.
For the snippet codes, you can find a list of the available snippets and what they do in the first post of this thread: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/25930-using-snippet-codes-in-your-homebrew). If you have any specific questions about complex snippet calculations then that’s the place to ask since that’s where the experts like to lurk. However, nothing in the subclass looks like it should use anything complicated. I think the only snippet code you really need is {{modifier:cha}}.
As for the perched/unperched mechanic, temporary/toggleable effects like that are not currently supported by DDB.
You simply summon the Raven at the end of a rest, you say you do it and it simply happens. To actually add a Raven to your character sheet, that’s done under “Extras,” but you’ll only need to do that once and then it’ll live there until you remove it which you never have to do.

The link you provided to the subclass isn’t working. Did you mean this version of the subclass: (https://media.wizards.com/2017/dnd/downloads/20170213_Wizrd_Wrlck_UAv2_i48nf.pdf)? If so I can help you. If not then you’ll need to show me what you want before I can help.
