I can't find anything for the life of me on how to add or where to add racial abilities. Any ability for that matter. Can anyone post a link? Thanks

Can you give an example of what you're trying to add and what you expect it to do?

If you drag the race from the module and drop it into the character sheet where it says race on the first page all of the racial abilities will be added for you. For example any attribute score will be updated, your speed, and other things will be added to the character sheet. Any abilities which don't directly affect stats etc will be added into the abilities tab.

More information here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/5E_Character_Sheet#Add_Race).

I have a Dragonborn who is resistant to ACID. Everytime he gets hit with acid we have to go back and add half the damage.

I just don’t know where to enter it into the character sheet

It has to be added as an effect on the combat tracker. The way to do this is to create an action on the character sheet that adds the effect or to have you DM add "RESIST: acid" to the combat tracker effects manually.

Mr. Z's link will show you how to add the action to the character sheet.

You would have to manually add the effect "RESIST: acid" to the CT ... or tell your DM to get the Advanced Effects extension (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40833-5E-Advanced-Effects-(items-npcs-characters)) and once you setup the characters abilities (effects) they will be automatically applied when the character is placed into the CT.
