Flash Rolls 5e
This is a Foundry VTT module that facilitates rolling for GMs, adding the following features to core Foundry v13 / DnD5e 5.0.x:
- Roll for multiple NPCs or PCs at once
- Calculate the result of group rolls with 4 different options (see below)
- Request skill checks, saving throws, etc. from single or multiple player actors, adding DCs and bonuses before the request
- Help new players who are unfamiliar with Foundry or tend to slow down combat
- Target tokens from template drawing
This module works best together with Carolingian UI
Group Roll Calculation
Four different modes of calculaton are available in Settings:
- Standard Rule: At least half the characters must pass the DC
- Simple Average: All rolls are summed up and averaged, then checked against the DC
- Leader With Help: (Daggerheart rule) The roll from the character with highest modifiers is considered, then each other success is added and failure subtracted
- Weakest Link: The roll from the character with lowest modifiers is considered, then each other success is added (other failures are discarded)
How to use
For Roll Requests and multi-rolls:
- Click the lightning bolt on sidebar to open the menu
- Select one or more actors on the list and a menu will appear for the type of roll
- When Roll Requests are activated, clicking to roll will open a opoup on player side, with all the selected configurations from DM. If you select advantage / disadvantage or situational bonus, the option should appear on player's side
- There are a few toggles on top of the actors list, in the settings section:
- Roll Requests: ON - Requests will be sent to players who own characters if they are online / OFF - All characters will be rolled locally by the GM (no requests)
- Skip Roll Dialog: ON - Roll Configuration Dialog will be skipped and default options used. / OFF - Roll Config Dialog will apear, with option for DC on applicable rolls
- Group Rolls: ON - Rolls from multiple actors triggered at once will show up in a condensed message, including Group Roll calculation / OFF - Each roll will be posted to an individual message
- Select All: ON - Selects all characters on PC or NPC list
Dependencies
Flash Rolls 5e requires the Socketlib module to be installed and active.
Compatibility
- I am working to make the module fully compatible with Midi-QOL. At the moment, most rolls should work, but you might have some issues with roll interceptions for activity rolls.
- While this module is in beta, I suggest unchecking the "Intercept GM Rolls for Players" when using Midi-QOL.
