☠️ Daggerheart: Death Moves

Daggerheart: Death Moves is a Foundry VTT module that enhances the "Death Move" moment with a dramatic interface and full automation support for choosing between Avoid DeathBlaze of Glory, or Risk it All.


🌟 Key Features

🎭 Dramatic Interface

  • Selection Screen: The dying player faces a compact interface to choose their fate: Avoid DeathBlaze of Glory, or Risk it All.
  • Spectator Mode: While the active player decides, all other players (and the GM) see a synchronized "Waiting..." screen, keeping the entire party focused on the moment.
  • Dramatic Announcements: Once a choice is made, a text banner appears for everyone, announcing the decision before the results are revealed.
  • Probability Display: Each option shows the calculated probability of outcomes based on the character's level.

🎲 Mechanics & Automation

  • Sequential Risk Rolls: "Risk it All" builds maximum tension by rolling the Fear die first, pausing for effect, and then rolling the Hope die — with colored border effects for each phase.
  • Stylized Chat Cards: Results are posted to the chat as gold-framed cards with easy-to-read text.
  • Full Automation (Core): Automatically applies Scars on failed Avoid Death rolls, distributes HP/Stress on Hope results, and clears all on Critical Success.
  • Homebrew Automation: Supports alternate scar rules — lets the player pick from six scar types (Evasion, Hit Point, Hope, Negative Experience, Stress, Thresholds) with Active Effects applied automatically.
  • HP Trigger: Optionally detects when a character's HP reaches maximum and triggers the Death Move automatically (or opens a GM confirmation dialog).
  • Phoenix Feather Support: Recognizes a configurable item that grants +1 bonus to Avoid Death rolls.
  • Queue System: Multiple simultaneous death triggers are queued and processed one at a time.

🛠️ How to Use

1. The GM Triggers the Move

The Gamemaster initiates the scene when a character falls:

  • Sidebar: Open the Daggerheart Menu (sidebar) and click the "Trigger Death Move" button (skull icon). Select the player from the list.
  • Macro: Execute DeathMoves.trigger() via a script macro. You can use DeathMoves.trigger("User Name").

2. The Player Chooses

The target player receives the interactive screen.

  • Avoid Death: Automatically rolls 1d12 against the character's Level.
  • Risk it All: Initiates the sequential Fear → Hope roll with border effects.
  • Blaze of Glory: Posts a dramatic farewell message to chat.

3. The Table Watches

Everyone else is in Spectator Mode. They cannot interact, but they see the announcement banner in sync with the active player.


⚙️ Configuration

Customize the experience in Configure Settings > Daggerheart: Death Moves:

  • Automation Mode: Choose between NoneCore (auto-apply scars and HP/Stress), or Homebrew (alternate scar picker).
  • Max HP Trigger: Set to NoneOpen GM Dialog, or Trigger Automatically when HP reaches maximum.
  • Phoenix Item Name: Name of the item that grants +1 bonus to Avoid Death rolls.
  • Blaze of Glory Message: Customize the farewell message posted to chat.
