DCCRPG Character Sheet Customizer

Add custom fields and abilities to your DCC RPG character sheets in Foundry VTT!

A custom "Grit" ability (Current/Max) alongside the core Luck ability, plus a custom "Weird Frontiers" panel using a Text field (Path) and two Resource/Counter-style fields (Boon, Hex).

Features

Eight Field Types

1. Text - Simple text input field
2. Number - Numeric input field
3. Current/Max - Track resources with current and maximum values (appears in abilities section)
4. Counter - Number field with increment/decrement buttons
5. Resource - Current/Max with +/- buttons on Current only, clamped between 0 and Max; the GM sets a Default Max per field
6. Choice - A GM-defined dropdown (one option per line)
7. Toggle - A simple on/off checkbox
8. Custom Ability - Full ability score with value, max, and auto-calculated modifier (appears in abilities section)

Smart Placement

• Ability Fields (Custom Ability & Current/Max) automatically appear in the abilities section below Luck, styled to match core abilities
• Panel Fields (Text, Number, Counter, Resource, Choice, Toggle) appear in configurable panels at the top or bottom of character sheets

Roll Integration

Custom abilities are fully integrated with the DCC roll system:

• Roll ability checks by clicking the ability name
• Each custom ability has an editable Roll Key (e.g. sanity) used in formulas: @sanityMod or @customAbilities.sanity.value
• Modifiers auto-calculate using DCC ability score table (3-24)
• Roll Keys can't collide with each other or with DCC's own roll data (str, hp, ac, etc.) — the config dialog validates this when you save

Rollable Custom Abilities

Custom Ability and Current/Max fields have a Rollable option (on by default for Custom Ability, matching prior versions). When enabled, you get:

• Roll Name - the label shown on the roll (defaults to the field's own label)
• Source - what the roll is based on: the ability's own value/mod, one of the six core ability modifiers (Strength, Agility, Stamina, Personality, Intelligence, Luck), one of the three saves (Fortitude, Reflex, Will), or a freeform Custom Formula
• Roll Under - mirrors DCC's own Luck check: a naked d20 compared against the score, instead of d20 + modifier

Rolling a custom ability goes through the same DCCRoll API and modifier dialog real DCC ability checks use, so it behaves exactly like rolling a core ability - including respecting Ctrl-click and the "show roll modifier by default" setting.

PC / NPC Scoping

Each custom ability and each custom panel has an Applies To setting: Both, PC Only, or NPC Only. Use this when a field only makes sense for one actor type, e.g. a Sanity ability for player characters, or a Morale tracker just for NPCs. Defaults to Both, matching prior versions where every field appeared everywhere.

Installation

1. In Foundry VTT, go to Add-on Modules
2. Click Install Module
3. Search for "DCC RPG Character Sheet Customizer"
4. Click Install

OR

Paste this manifest URL:

Usage

Initial Setup

1. Enable the module in your world
2. Go to Settings → Module Settings
3. Find "DCC RPG Character Sheet Customizer"
4. Click Configure Custom Fields

Adding Panels and Fields

1. Click Add Panel to create a new panel
2. Give it a name (e.g., "Sanity & Corruption")
3. Choose Applies To: Both, PC Only, or NPC Only
4. Click Add Field to add fields to the panel
5. Configure each field:
   • Label: Display name
   • Type: Choose from 5 field types (each type has a one-line description in the dialog to help you pick)

Custom abilities have the same Applies To option, next to their type selector, plus a Roll Key (see Roll Integration above) instead of a Type ID — panel fields aren't usable in roll formulas, so they don't have one.

Field Type Examples

Custom Ability (Sanity)

• Label: Sanity
• Type: Custom Ability
• Roll Key: sanity
• Creates a full ability score with modifier
• Appears below Luck in abilities section
• Use in rolls: @sanityMod

Current/Max (Corruption)

• Label: Corruption
• Type: Current/Max
• Roll Key: corruption
• Track current and max values (no modifier)
• Appears below Luck in abilities section
• Use in rolls: @customAbilities.corruption.value (current value) or @customAbilities.corruption.max

Counter (Luck Pool)

• Label: Luck Pool
• Type: Counter
• Easy increment/decrement buttons
• Appears in panel

Saving Configuration

1. Click Save Configuration
2. Close and re-open character sheets to see changes
3. Values persist per actor automatically

Roll Formula Examples

// Roll a custom ability check
1d20 + @sanityMod

@sanityMod-style keys resolve anywhere Foundry passes the actor's own roll data into a formula (chat rolls, macros). Whether that includes a given item's formula field depends on that item type's own roll code, not on this module, check that it works before relying on it in, say, a weapon's damage formula.

Technical Details

Data Storage

• Configuration: Stored in world settings
• Field Values: Stored in actor flags
• Custom Abilities: Stored separately for roll data integration

Compatibility

• Foundry VTT: v13+ (verified on v14)
• DCC System: v0.19.0+
• Works with both PC and NPC sheets, with per-field PC/NPC/Both scoping (see above)

Performance

• Debounced auto-save (300ms)
• Idempotent rendering (no duplicates)
• Minimal CSS overrides using system variables

Troubleshooting

Fields Not Appearing

1. Make sure you've saved the configuration
2. Close and re-open the character sheet
3. Check console for errors (F12)

Roll Formulas Not Working

• Use the exact Roll Key shown in the ability's row in the config dialog
• Format: @rollKeyMod or @customAbilities.rollKey.value
• Roll Keys are always lowercase — the dialog normalizes casing automatically

Styling Issues

The module uses DCC system CSS variables. If styles look wrong:

1. Update to latest DCC system version
2. Check for conflicting modules
3. Try disabling other sheet-modifying modules
