Recovery Time Initiative v2 for Foundry VTT and D&D5e — Now free and open-source!

Based on The Angry GM's Recovery Time Initiative, this v2.0 module expands combat into a phase-driven loop with advanced modifiers, phase variants, custom recovery tables, and deep integration hooks.

Free and open-source module for Foundry VTT.

• GitHub: Lisa's Dungeon on GitHub
• License: MIT

• Phase-based combat from Phase 1 through Phase 10 (or variant count)
• Size-based initiative dice (tiny d4 → gargantuan d12)
• Recovery rolls tied to attacks, spells, movement, and ready actions
• Recovery-state reaction blocking

• Condition-based die adjustments (stunned, paralyzed, exhaustion, inspired, blessed, haste)
• Bonus action upsizing (die advancement by one step)
• Checked attack downsizing (die reduction by one step, minimum d4)
• Stacking modifier support

• Standard — Phase 1-10, traditional recovery mechanics
• Gritty — Phase 1-12, longer tactical positioning window
• Heroic — Phase 1-8, faster action economy
• Custom — Create unlimited custom variants with arbitrary phase counts

• Define recovery rules per action type (attacks, spells, movement, etc.)
• Pre-built tables: Standard Melee, Spellcaster, Archer
• Mix and match rules for homebrew mechanics
• GM-configurable per world

• Per-combatant recovery log (up to 100 entries)
• Timestamp, action type, die, roll result, conditions
• Query history for tactical decisions

• Visual phase badges on token displays
• Combat tracker integration
• Real-time phase state tracking
• Color-coded phase display

• beforePhaseChange — Pre-phase modification
• afterPhaseChange — Post-phase triggers
• beforeRecoveryRoll — Pre-roll adjustments
• afterRecoveryRoll — Post-roll processing
• beforeCombatStart — Combat setup
• afterCombatEnd — Combat cleanup
• onConditionApplied — Condition triggers
• onConditionRemoved — Condition cleanup

Custom module developers can hook into any stage of combat flow.

• Foundry VTT: v13+ (verified v14)
• D&D5e System: v3.0+

1. Install the premium package through your Patreon distribution flow.
2. Enable Lisa's Angry Initiative in your world.
3. Start combat and the module assigns opening phase from each combatant's initiative die.
4. At the end of each turn, roll recovery to determine the next phase.

• Attacks use the weapon's recovery die.
• Cantrips use d6.
• Leveled spells use d8, or d10 when upcast.
• Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Hide use the combatant's initiative die (size-based).
• Ready without a trigger returns the combatant to Phase 1 next round.

Bonus actions upsize the recovery die by one step. Checked attacks downsize it by one step, to a minimum of d4.

Conditions like exhaustion, stunning, paralysis also adjust recovery dice.

The module exposes a comprehensive public API through game.modules.get('lisas-angry-initiative').api or window.LisasAngryInitiative.
