Formerly known as Critically Fumbled
A Foundry VTT module for D&D 5e that automatically detects critical successes and failures, fires Roll Tables, and applies Active Effects directly to actors — all without lifting a finger.
Includes a separate Divine Selection system for randomly choosing tokens with configurable deity blessing messages.
Features
Critical Tables
Fatebringer listens to every d20 roll and automatically fires the appropriate response.
| Roll Type | Crit Trigger | Fumble Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Melee attack | Natural ≥ crit threshold (Champion supported) | Natural 1 |
| Ranged attack | Natural ≥ crit threshold | Natural 1 |
| Spell attack | Natural ≥ crit threshold | Natural 1 |
| Saving throw | Natural 20 | Natural 1 |
| Ability check | Natural 20 | Natural 1 |
| Manual dice | Maximum face value | Minimum (1) |
Per event you can configure:
- Roll Table — Rolls automatically and posts to chat (button or instant via fast-forward).
- Active Effect — Copied from actor, item, or compendium and applied directly.
- Both — Table rolls and effects fire together.
Detection options (toggle independently):
- Attack rolls (melee / ranged / spell)
- Saving throws
- Ability & skill checks
- Manual dice rolls
- Players only (ignore NPCs)
- Fast-forward mode (skip confirmation button)
Active Effects Integration
Link any existing Active Effect via UUID. When triggered:
- Resolves UUID using
fromUuid() - Copies effect data (origin tagged as
Module.fatebringer) - Applies it via
actor.createEmbeddedDocuments() - Posts a styled confirmation chat card
Works with core Foundry and is enhanced by DAE, Times Up, and Effect Macro.
Divine Selection
A GM tool for dramatic moments — randomly selects tokens and delivers divine messages.
- Deity system — Define multiple deities (name, title, avatar)
- Custom messages — Supports
{name}and{title}placeholders - Token exclusion — Click tokens to include/exclude dynamically
- Hotkey — Default
Z(configurable, GM only) - Automatically controls and targets selected tokens
Feature Toggles
Both Critical Tables and Divine Selection can be enabled/disabled independently in Foundry settings. Changes apply instantly — no reload required.
Dice So Nice Integration
- Uses Dice So Nice for 3D dice animations (if installed)
