Hi everyone,

Recently, I've been trying to homebrew a magic item that grants a +3 bonus to athletics checks. No attunement required. Super simple. But when I equip it for one of my characters, the athletics modifier doesn't change.

To make it, I populated all the necessary fields in "Basic Info", then to grant the bonus I added a modifier. I just listed the modifier type as Bonus, and subtype as athletics, then add a fixed value of 3.

Strangely it worked when I listed the subtype as acrobatics, not sure why it's not working for athletics. 

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

When you switched it from Acrobatics to Athletics, did you re-save the entire magic item?

Remove the item from the character, then close that tab. In a new tab, re-save the whole magic item using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under basic Information. Wait a few minutes for the server to catch up, and then check the character sheet again by adding the newly updated magic item.

Tried what you said, still not working :(

Anything else you might think to try?

Thanks for the help.

So you did this:

Modifier: Bonus->Subtype: Athletics->Fixed Value: 3

And it isn’t working. Is that correct?

Please post a link to your homebrew so a Mod or Staffer can look into it for you. They can see it even if it is unpublished, so don’t publish it.

Also, please link your character sheet as well.
