I setup a homebrew Paladin with a channel divinity that does 2d10+class level damage. I set the feature up using an action for the ability with damage input as normal and then used the level overrides to changed the value of the bonus damage depending on level. On my character sheet it all looks normal and works for rolling the damage, however on the side bar that pops up for the ability text when you click on it there is an odd error in the code. Instead of the +3, it reads:
{{classlevel#signed}}
This is the same below that with the Save DC. Instead of DC12 it says:
DC {{savedc:cha}}
Any ideas on what is causing this? Is this a bug or something I am doing wrong?
You appear to be running a third party extension unsupported by D&D Beyond (Beyond20). Can you try disabling that first (and any other such extensions) to see if that resolved the issue?
It has to do with the Snippet vs description fields when creating a homebrew. The Snippet field can use the the variables however the description can not. The Description is what is displayed on the side bar where as the snippet is what is displayed on the character sheet. If yo look at a Light Cleric's Channel Divinity Radiance of Dawn it is a very similar ability. I noted that on that ability, only the snippet used the variables. The description was written different and actually says "+ your cleric level" and "makes a dexterity saving throw" rather then listing the actual numbers.
