I'm having a hell of a time getting a subrace feature to work. I'm relatively new to homebrewing on Beyond, so understanding how to essentially "program" subclasses and races has been an adventure.
So here's what I'm trying to accomplish: I'm creating a race that essentially has 3 ways to calculate their base AC:
+1 bonus to AC while NOT wearing heavy armor
AC = 13 + Dexterity modifier while NOT wearing heavy armor
No AC modification (Wearing heavy armor)
I couldn't find a way to program exceptions for JUST heavy armor ("set unarmored armor class" applies to all armor), so I've resorted to breaking these different calculations down to options in the character builder. Each of these work as intended except the calculation of 13 + Dexterity modifier. When that option is selected, the character sheet defaults to the character's class feature of unarmored defense (Barbarian) which is lower. I've tried "Set Armor Class - 3" and "Set Minimum Base Armor - 3" and neither work. I've also tried a host of other things, but they don't even make sense in hindsight and they didn't work anyways.
