I hadnt really played around with this before, but I started exploring the system for creating custom classes and specializations in the 5th edition D&D mode.

What I couldnt find was 1) how to attach the specializations in such a way that it shows up as a selection for the new classes. I could get it to work for the core classes, but I created a new class, and could not get the system to recognize the specializations I created for it. 2 ) how to set up its leveling for spellcasting. Similar to warlock in this regard.

So, how do I go about it?

I think there is a section in the following linked video that explains it in more detail and should be helpful (it's the lastest video with the recent updates): Adding Specializations . . (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa9CbtYiCJs&t=720s)

That video shows a separate entry under feats for specializations. That does not exist on mine. That video is 5 years old though, and I see you can create specializations elsewhere, but no idea how to link them.

Side note: trying to insert an image from my computer it isn't letting me.

For specializations. Is there a way to add the Specialization list for the Other Tab on the Class information? It has everything, but that section. I could use a class that has specializations already and have that section there, but when making a class from scratch I was wondering if there is a way to add that section? Main page I know you just add links and the text needed for the specialization there.

For just using the given custom class from scratch, I noticed that specializations are not linking properly. Or I could be just daft and it is sitting right in front of me ready to poke me in the eye.

The class specialisations now has its own window. Click the specialisation button at the top of the class list window to add a new specialisation. See video thirty five here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?55797-How-do-I-in-Unity
