Hi, I'm trying to create an Action as part of a new species feature that scales with the character's Proficiency Bonus, and adds an ability score modifier to the result (i.e. 2d6 + Charisma modifier).
I've figured out how to make it so that the action starts off rolling 2d6 at the base, and then increases at certain levels with level overrides (i.e. 3d6 at level 5, 4d6 at level 9, and so on).
When I select to "DISPLAY AS AN ATTACK", the feature's action appears under the attacks in the ACTIONS section of the character sheet. Great! That's exactly what I wanted! But there is a slight problem... no matter what I select in the "ABILITY SCORE TYPE" box, the clickable action only shows the number of dice (i.e. 2d6, 3d6, etc)—it is not adding any ability score modifier to the roll.
The only way I've been able to get this to add an ability score modifier is to specify it as being a melee or ranged attack, but this ability does not require an attack roll to use, so I don't want there to be anything showing up in the "HIT/DC" column.
What am I doing wrong here? How do I fix this to get it to function as desired? It seems like this should be pretty simple and straight forward, but it's been anything but that!
