So as the title says, in the homebrew creations section I'm trying to a race that has an a ability thats basically the same as the old Juggernaut warforged subclass, which was as an additional ability, you could when punching someone use the Iron Fists trait which deals 1D4 + STR mod. So far I've had no issues with adding the 1d4 damage roll and it being bludgeoning and what not. But I cannot for the life of me figure out how to add the STR mod to the weapon. Is that something possible in the race creator? And also are there any decent guides for making races?
I assume you’re doing this as an Action attached to your race/subrace/variant. Am I correct in that assumption? If so, make sure that:
The Action Type is “Weapon”
Str is set as the appropriate Ability
Range is set to “melee”
Is Proficient is checked
SAVE
Then go to the main “Basic Information” section and click [SAVE CHANGES] to trigger the server to pick up your changes.
After that, it can take up to 20 minutes for the changes to affect a character sheet that already has your homebrew, changes to character level often help speed things up.
Just to be certain that I got the message across right, I was wanting the STR mod to be added to the weapons total damage, what you said to do is correct for that right? I'm still super new to this so I just wanna make sure I got it. Also in advance thanks for the quick response and helpful message!

Yes, it should designate Str as the associate Ability for both Attack and Damage. If I remember, “General” Actions won’t add to damage, but “Weapon” Actions will. If it doesn’t work lemme know and I’ll take another look when I get out of work.
