Rules at Your Fingertips

The entire Player's Handbook has been expertly rebuilt in Foundry VTT's journal system with custom styles to emulate the book.

• Sharing is caring so all of the text content is available for your players as well. You can even share high resolution art directly with your players from the Art Handouts journals!
• Never forget a rule with ruletips. Hover over a word like "Restrained" and a ruletip will pop up explaining how it works so you won't even need to open the book.

Save Time and Focus on Play with Helpful Automation

The classes and subclasses from the Player's Handbook are integrated with all of the automation features supported by the Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition game system.

• Never forget an effect with the included Active Effects that can help apply effects to Actors and help you track their statuses.
• Summon allies to your side with the Summoning system that lets you pick your summon, place them on the map, control their actions, and automatically gives them all the correct bonuses.

Enjoy a New Beautiful and Powerful NPC Sheet

The 4.0 release of the D&D5E includes a beautiful new NPC sheet that matches the styling of the updated character sheet.
