Hi everyone I am trying to change the Aarakocra's base trait Talons to Superior Darkvision but it will not remove Talons so I have come asking for help. I am also having problems with adding the perception proficiency to the race.
The Aarakocra talons feature I believe consists of three parts; the overall description/snippet, a Modifier (Natural Weapon) and an Action (Talons) which adds a Talons attack to the player's character sheet.
If you're trying to repurpose the feature then you'll want to change the description/snippet, swap the Modifier for darkvision (under Set Base iirc), and remove the Talons Action.
Also note that if you have your new race assigned to a character already, it can take up to 20 minutes for some changes to update after you've saved your homebrew race; sometimes it can come through faster by changing the character's race to something else, reloading the page then changing it again, but not always, sometimes you just have to wait.

Check the "is variant" box. Then go into the Superior Darkvision feature you did, and a new "replace base racial trait" should come up
