so i'm trying to make a race that has a variety of different traits you can pick (a make what you want type of thing) but i'm at a snag, idk if i'm just dumb or i'm just missing something.
so how can i make it that if someone picks something the other option is taken off the list? like for example i have four options of something but if you pick 2 then you can't pick 1 BUT you could still pick 3 or 4, it's just 1 that's locked out.
sorry if i don't make much sense i had like VERY little sleep lol.
That’s not technically possible. You would either have to do it with multiple traits, one that offered 1 & 2, and another that offers 3 & 4; OR you would have to do it with a combination of Options and Variant Races. If you can give me more details then I can give you better answers.
ok i'm awake so maybe i can give more of a detailed question. Altho i did find a weird way around my issue hahaha.
so i'm making (or redoing) a dragon race with a bunch of different draconic traits as options you can pick from and one of those options was something i was calling "lost breath" (ether new ideas or old breath weapons like "salt breath") meant to be something you can use alongside your normal breath weapon, i didn't want it so you can get more than one "lost breath" type so i wanted to lock out the rest if you picked one but also give the option if you didn't want any of them.
but i'd managed to make it worked how i wanted. i just make the "lost breath" it's own section in the racial traits tab but i made so each new lost breath type needs the prerequisite to get the "lost dragon breath" first within the draconic racial traits section.
it's sloppy since you can still see the "lost breath" tab when making your character but i can always put a bit of info in it about needing to pick the trait of "lost breath" to use it lol.
I’ll pretty much always respond to requests for help with homebrews if I see them, and I generally see them unless they get posted in one of the other forums.

Ah, yeah. You did it the way I would have recommended anyway, so it worked out I guess. Lol
