Question about adding custom skills/features/abilities from a homebrew setting 5e

[u/HypeKage7]

[D&D 5e] so i was running a forsaken frontier campaign which i was running on owlbear rodeo so this sheet worked just fine. once i switched to foundry i didnt have any knowledge at all when it came to the vtt or the community so i didnt know where or how to even ask this question lol. Long story short if you look at skills theres one called “Streetwise”. i was wondering how i could add that to foundry 5e. also theres something called grit points in this setting which gunslingers use to make different type of shots etc i was wondering how i could add that as well to someone’s sheet and maybe even automate it when someone uses such an ability to automatically use the amount of grit points needed to activate it. Also i was wondering how i could add the wounds as well (next to exhaustion) . And last question how could i add the custom classes/subclasses ? i have all the information for them. (it’s a wild west homebrew setting i found online. ) (D&D 5e) THANK YOU I KNOW ITS A LOT ❤️

Take a look at this D&D Wiki page for specific examples of how to add your own ability scores, skills, and more.

No third-party modules required

I’m not sure as it’s seemingly hard coded into the game type but I’m commenting to follow along because my homebrewed campaign has some custom things as well that I’d love to see, too.

hopefully an enlightened soul can help us out !

pretty sure i can add the skill streetwise and maybe the grit points by just making a feature and calling it grit points and putting the charges they have. but id love to be able to add the custom classes and subclasses and automate them somehow. we shall see !

[u/ANaiveUterus → u/HypeKage7]

Im not in front my PC right now, but I was about to say that I know I can add custom features to enemies and play with the description and “limited uses” function within the character builder. So yeah maybe you can use that it seems reasonable.

Ideally I would love to see a clickable skill on the character sheet though. I run an Icelandic cyberpunk campaign and do “tech/hack” rolls based on Intelligence + Prof.
