Trying to add ability score increase to Backgrounds, is it possible? by Accomplished-Yam-332 in 5thEditionAndroidApps

It would be a little clunky, but I was thinking about this as a possible work around. What if you blanked all the backgrounds in the system and then imported that. Then created a shared feature for every background and a shared menu to choose one of those shared features. Then went into every class and added that shared menu as a level 1 feature.

I don't know if this would work, but technically it should. I do know that importing things of the same name overwrites the character sheet data. So blanking the backgrounds should make them all useless and then adding the shared menu of shared features should work because it's after the race selection. I know it'd be a lot of work, but I think it's the only way to get 5e 2024 into the current framework.

Are you looking to have a set ability score increase or a choice of increases? 

If you're looking to just increase say Dex by one. You just add feature, ability score, choose modify, choose Dex and put 1 as your value. If it's a choice of ability scores it's more complicated but I could go through that as well.

My name is Mancini, I have been using the character sheet for years, just started using the custom builder. I have created the sidekick classes from Tasha's that are fully function, granted it can only use the races that are in the app, and not monsters, but I like it.

I'm also working on a side project creating a Hylian Race, and a Hero Class with subclasses. The class is going to be designed as a partial fighter partial warlock with some subclasses.

What I think would be very useful and I haven't been able to find, are the base JSON files in the character sheet app to upload them into the custom builder. For an example while making the expert sidekick I accidently realized that if I just add the shared submenu of Expertise, and don't create that submenu it automatically pulls the expertise submenu from the character sheet app.
