Hi all. Trying to homebrew a race with a similar ability to Firbolg Magic, where you get to choose your spellcasting ability while making your character. I've been messing with the options for a bit but can't figure it out, wondering if this is possible in beyond or if I should just choose one & cope lol.
Edit: As of now I've made it an option that literally just says "Your spellcasting ability is ____" based on whichever you choose, however I'd like it to work mechanically as well if possible.
Did you try creating it as a copy of Firbolg as a template? When I was recreating the new warlock subclasses I had to make them all as copies of Hexblade in order to use it's included feature to weapon attack with charisma, since that specific part can't be recreated in the current homebrew tools.
EDIT: I just checked and if you start your race as a copy of Firbolg, it has that feat with the included choices. You can take that and change everything else about it and it will retain the options. You could also try adding options to a different racial feat and see if you can get the options to show up.
