I just bought the $39 version and so I don't have any up to date races for 5e. I tried creating my own, but I could not make a race with a double ability score increase change on the character sheet, unless the race had a subrace feature. I tried watching the video of Creating A Race and I did exactly that and nothing changed yet again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Welcome to FG and to the forums. What do you mean by double ability score increase? A race doesn't need a sub race to work and if it doesn't all ability score increases will therefore be contained in one line such as the ones shown in the video.
If you can provide some screen shots it will help us figure out exactly what you are doing.
And welcome :)
Thank you both for the quick reply. I'm not sure how to take a screenshot. My major problem is that on races that have two ability score increases but no subrace to separate them, ie...the half-orc. I can get the first ability to enter automatically on the character sheet but not the second one. This is how I write it in the box, 'Your Strength increases by 2, your Constitution increases by 2.' With that line only the Strength gets entered onto the character sheet. According to the video I watched, that line should work.
You get the 5E SRD and the D&D 5E Basic rules modules with your standard FG license. Open these modules and have a look at the race details there for examples.
The "DD5E SRD Data" module includes all of the base races, including the Half-Orc.
I understand about 5E SRD and 5E basic rules, but I find some of them to be incomplete and therefore I need to correct them. I was going to use them as a template for creating new races, but I cant due to them being read-only. Also the basic rules don't cover 'Volo's Guide' in terms of races.
Go to the races right hand sidebar and drag/drop a race - it will create a copy that you can edit, and later export to a module.Quote:

The line needs to be "Your Strength score increases by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1". As I noted in the video the phrasing needs to be exact.Quote:
