Demo above running Arkham Horror RPG v14.2 and Token Action HUD Arkham Horror RPG v14.1
Requirements
- Foundry VTT:
>= v13.351 - Arkham Horror RPG (FVTT):
>= 13.0.35 - Token Action HUD Core:
>= 2.1.1
Upgrading from Token Action HUD Arkham Horror RPG 14.0.0 or earlier in an existing world
Version 14.1.0 changes the default HUD group structure. Token Action HUD Core sometimes may not merge new defaults into a user specific saved customized layout. After upgrading, reload the world. If the split Weapons groups or the new Healing, Injury & Trauma, Knacks, and Items groups are missing, follow the steps below in Upgrading an existing world to 14.1.0
Now available in 14.1.0+
This is considered a stable release candidate and is mostly feature complete at this stage. We will continue to update for Foundry, TAH Core and underlying Arkham Horror RPG system enhancements.
Rolls and Actions
- Simple: Spend a Regular Die or Horror Die.
- Complex: Roll any available skill through the system dice roll dialog.
- Reaction: Roll skills in reaction mode through the system dice roll dialog.
- Weapons: See owned weapons by Melee Combat, Ranged Combat, or Other, then open the system weapon roll dialog.
- Spells: See owned spells and open the system spell roll dialog.
- Injury & Trauma: Roll for Injury & Trauma and view the actor's current Injuries and Traumas.
Resources and Recovery
- Dicepool: Adjust Dicepool, Damage, and Horror; Refresh; Discard Die; Discard All Dice; or Strain.
- Insight: Spend or Refresh Insight through the system workflow.
- Healing (Arkham Horror RPG 14.2+ only): Heal Damage, Heal Injury, Introspection, Counseling, and GM-only Recovery.
Character Knacks and Items
- Knacks — See Tier 1 through Tier 4 Knacks and NPC Weaknesses and open their item sheets.
- Items — See owned Protective Equipment, special rules-bearing Useful Items, Relics, Tomes, and Favors, and open their item sheets.
Tooltips and Images!
Knacks, Weapons, Spells, and Items now support Token Action HUD Core's Display Icons. If Core's Full tooltip mode is on this module provides compact, enriched Arkham statistics, rules, and reference details from these items where available.
Upgrading an existing world to v14.1.0
Upon upgrade to v14.1.0 Token Action HUD Core can in some cases preserve saved user layouts and does not merge new module defaults into them. After upgrading and reloading the world, If the new groups are already present, do not reset the layout.
Quick Option: Reset Layout
Each affected user can select a token, unlock the HUD, open Edit HUD (pencil icon), and choose Reset Layout.
Or as a GM in in Game Settings -> Token Action HUD Core -> Layout Settings -> Reset All Layouts to do the above for all users in the game world.
This rebuilds the HUD from the current module defaults, but clears:
- The current user's saved group arrangement, custom groups, and HUD position.
- The selected actor's saved HUD group settings and action selections.
Preserve a Customized Layout
To preserve a customized layout, unlock the HUD and use its + controls and context menus to update it manually
Compatibility Mode v13.0.3
Arkham < 13.0.37: legacy compatibility mode (existing dynamic-import routing).Arkham >= 13.0.37: API mode (routes throughgame.arkhamhorrorrpgfvtt.api).
API mode details:
- No legacy fallback if a required API method is missing in API mode.
- Missing methods fail closed (action is skipped and a warning is shown).
- Dicepool actions use system API methods instead of direct actor data writes.
Upgrade note:
- If you are on module
v13.0.2and upgrade Arkham to>= 13.0.37, dicepool increment/decrement actions will not update correctly due to a system API breaking change. - Upgrade this module to
v13.0.3(or newer) when upgrading the base Arkham system.
