DSA5-Foundry-VTT-Char2PDF - V2
Foundry VTT module to transfer the DSA 5 actors to PDF
This module extends Foundry VTT for The Dark Eye / Das schwarze Auge 5 and exports characters as PDF.
Two export modes:
- HTML character sheet (default) — printable multi-page A4 sheet in the world’s language (
de/ otherwiseen). Lists are not capped; extra rows become extra pages. Choose parchment (table) or printer-friendly appearance. - Ulisses template (legacy) — fills the official Ulisses Heldendokument. Long inventories and spell lists still hit the form’s field limit.
Language follows game.i18n.lang. There is no language dropdown.
