Effectively I want a subclass feature that allows you to cast a collection of spells (in this case Dispel Magic and Counterspell), limited by a number of charges equal to your proficiency modifier. Really want I want to do is bake a magical item akin to the Staff of Healing directly into the subclass. I could very easily create a magical item that does exactly what I want this feature to be able to do, but I'm not seeing any way of doing it as a subclass feature.
I tried to instead do it as an action instead of specifying the spells. This sacrifices the spells display and doesn't enable you to directly cast the spell at a higher level. Though still manageable with a bit of manual effort. The complication with that is that Dispel Magic and Counterspell have different activation types. So you'd need two different actions to display them properly which just gets you back to point A. Or even further you forego the actions display and just set the activation type as special.
I'm feeling like this just currently isn't possible with the homebrew edit, but I'd love to be wrong :\
You need to create the class feature, then you need to attach an Action to that class feature with the limited use data set to key off of PB. Then you need to attach the spells to the class feature with absolutely no restrictions other than “cast at level.” On the Character Sheet it will display those spells as “at will,” but the player would track the uses by ticking off the limited uses tracked by the Action attached to that class feature.
The “homebrewer” really isn’t a homebrewer at all. It is only actually designed to create the same stuff that WotC created. The 1-2 class features they wrote to cast multiple spells from a limited pool of charges were written in such a way as to only cast those spells at a set level, and to not be able to cast those spells using spell slots. So, that’s all this system can replicate.
Yeah, I understand that it makes everything a little bit easier for them with how it is now, but enabling snippets on most of these form fields would allow them to drastically simplify the number of fields. There's an entire page with like 6 fields dedicated to specifying limited uses for a homebrewed feature's action and it still misses scenarios (e.g. half proficiency).

Yeah, figured that was the best that could be done. Thanks for your input.

Snippets don’t actually “do” anything, they just display the information. It’s all the rest of that stuff that actually “does” these things.
