Daggerheart: Resource Macros
A Foundry VTT module designed for the Daggerheart system. It automatically triggers macros whenever the global Fear resource or a player character's Hope resource changes.
This allows Game Masters to automate events, send chat messages, or trigger visual effects exactly when Fear goes up, Hope runs out, or any other threshold is crossed.
A simple example of a chat message displayed when Fear changes:
✨ Features
- Fear Triggers: Detects changes in the global Daggerheart Fear resource.
- Hope Triggers: Detects changes in Hope for every player-owned character.
- Dynamic Limits: Automatically respects the maximum Fear value configured in the system settings (no longer fixed at 12).
- Configurable Macros: Assign different macros for each trigger event (see below).
Resource.Message()API: A simple function you can call inside any macro to send a styled Daggerheart chat card, with optional text, background image, and sound.
🚀 Getting Started
This module includes a Compendium Pack named Resource Macros containing basic examples.
- Go to the Compendium Packs tab in Foundry VTT.
- Locate Resource Macros.
- Import the macros into your world.
- The module settings are pre-configured to use these default names.
⚙️ Configuration
Go to the Module Settings tab in Foundry VTT to configure the behavior.
Fear Triggers
| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| Macro: Increase Fear | Runs when Fear goes UP (but has not yet reached the maximum). |
| Macro: Decrease Fear | Runs when Fear goes DOWN (but has not yet reached 0). |
| Macro: Fear Max | Runs when Fear reaches the maximum value defined in system settings. |
| Macro: Fear Min | Runs when Fear reaches exactly 0. |
Hope Triggers
| Trigger | Description |
|---|---|
| Macro: Increase Hope | Runs when a player character's Hope goes UP (but has not yet reached the maximum). |
| Macro: Decrease Hope | Runs when a player character's Hope goes DOWN (but has not yet reached 0). |
| Macro: Hope Max | Runs when Hope reaches the character's maximum value. |
| Macro: Hope Zero | Runs when Hope reaches exactly 0. |
Note: All triggers execute only on the GM's client to prevent duplicate effects. Hope macros receive the
actorvariable in scope, so you can reference the character who triggered the change inside the macro script.
