I am making a subclass but unsure of how to make Surge actions or like the bardic inspiration slots for the class. So like the thing is You can use one action surge to boost speed for 1min. I want to make a check box like bards. Can anyone tell me how?
It sounds like you want to add an Action to the sub-class under one of its class traits; it sounds like you probably want it to just be a General action, set the activation type (action, bonus action, reaction or special if you can just trigger it for free while doing something else) and pop in a snippet describing how the ability is used.
Once you've saved the action, you should see a Limited Uses section, here you can set the rules for how the action is limited, either by giving a fixed number of uses at different levels, or tying it to an ability score.
This will allow you to limit your surge actions using whatever limit you want, but the part I'm unclear on is your mention of action surge; is this surge ability intended to be separate, or use the same number of uses as action surges? If the latter then you don't want to set your own limited uses data, just make sure your description is clear that this bonus applies in addition to or instead of a normal action surge.
