Features
📱 Live Play Character Sheets

- Compact layout — fits in a portrait-mode window optimized for mobile devices
- Live updates — changes sync in real time across all connected devices
- Full character interaction — ability checks, saving throws, skill rolls, hit point tracking, rests, and more — all from a streamlined mobile interface
- Complements print sheets — use live sheets for players going digital and print sheets for players who prefer paper
🖨️ Print & Preview Sheets
Generate print-ready sheets for your characters, NPCs, encounters, and party — optimized for physical use at the table or as a digital PDF reference.
- Premium layout — clean, light-themed design that saves ink and stays readable at the table
- Everything in one place — ability scores, saves, combat stats, actions, spellcasting, skills, features, inventory, and backstory all on a single organized sheet
- Smart feature summaries — class features and feats are automatically condensed into concise, table-ready descriptions that show your character's actual values (e.g. "Sneak Attack: 3d6", "Ki Points: 5")
- Currency tracking widget — write-in boxes for tracking gold, silver, and copper during a session
- Configurable sections — choose exactly which sections to include each time you print
Supported sheet types:
- Characters — full character sheets with all details
- NPCs — monster/NPC stat blocks
- Parties — a summary table of all party members
- Encounters — multiple NPC stat blocks grouped on one sheet
How to use:
- Right-click any Actor in the sidebar → "FTTH - Print" or "FTTH - Preview"
- Select which sections to include and your paper size
- Print, or save as PDF from your browser's print dialog
🔄 Window Rotation
- Adds a Rotate/Flip control to application windows. Default rotates 90° per press; optionally switch to 180° flip in settings.
- Includes prebuilt macros to rotate all open windows (90° clockwise/counterclockwise, and 180°). A world compendium "FTH Macros" is auto-created for drag-and-drop.
Settings
- Live Play Character Sheet (GM only) — Enable the touch-optimized character sheet for in-person play on tablets and phones.
- Print Access (GM only) — Control who can use the print and preview features: everyone (default) or GM only.
- Print Defaults — Set default paper size and which sections are pre-selected for each sheet type.
- Rotation — Choose how much each press rotates: 90° steps (default) or 180° flip.
- Animations — Enable or disable snappy rotation animations (default: enabled).
- Log Level — Controls console verbosity (set to "debug" when troubleshooting).
Macros
- On world load, if you are the GM, the module ensures a world compendium named "FTH Macros" containing:
- Rotate All 90° (CW)
- Rotate All 90° (CCW)
- Rotate All 180°
- Drag any of these macros from the compendium to your hotbar to use them.
- These macros act on all currently displayed windows and persist the new orientation.
- Advanced: you can also call the API from a script macro or console:
window.fth.rotateAll90CW(); window.fth.rotateAll90CCW(); window.fth.rotateAll180(); - Add header button to V1 windows (legacy): Only if you need the rotation button on V1 apps (deprecated since V13).
