Hi, 

I’m trying to create a Lythari subrace of elf. The problem I am running into is I want to create a shapeshift ability that adds strength, movement, AC, and a bite attack when in use (And only updates on the Character sheet when in use).

At the moment the movement and bite attack are on the character sheet (Without an activation of shapeshift) the strength and AC are not. 

I added the Shapeshift as a racial trait, then under that trait added the modifiers and attack. 

How can I change this to get those bonuses to appear ONLY when shapeshift is activated? Do I need to create a spell of “Shapeshift” which gives those bonuses and then just add that to the character sheet? 

Thanks for any help! 

Temporary effects such as you describe are currently not available on the character sheet. 

Thanks for letting me know. Disappointing but I’ll just need to keep track manually.

 Barbarian players have to do it with Rage, any PC enchanted with spells like Haste , Mage Armor, Aid or Enlarge/Reduce have to do it too. Characters wandering in/out of a Paladin’s auras also have to do it. There are a lot of temporary things we just have to track for ourselves.
