Features
All features can be toggled on or off individually within the Foundry VTT Module Settings menu.
Group 1: User Interface & Visuals
- Sync Browser Tab Title: Keeps the browser tab name dynamically in sync with the scene the client is currently viewing.
- Show Cursor Keyboard Hints: Displays visual floating icons near the mouse cursor when DnD5e configured macro keys (Skip, Advantage, Disadvantage) are pressed.
- Actor Directory Disposition Dots: Adds a colored dot next to the actor name in the Actors directory sidebar based on their default token disposition (Friendly, Hostile, Secret, Neutral).
- Blood Drop Bloodied Icon: Replaces the default DnD5e bloodied condition icon with a red blood drop.
Group 2: Canvas & Tokens
- Auto-Rotate Prone Tokens: Automatically rotates tokens 90 degrees when they are given the Prone status effect.
- Token Resizer Tool: Adds a new control icon to the Token tools menu (visible to GMs only) to quickly resize selected tokens to standard 5e dimensions (Tiny, Small, Large, Huge, etc.).
- Snap Templates to Grid Intersections: Forces circle and square/cube spell templates to snap to grid intersections instead of cell centers during both preview and final placement. Cones and rays are not affected. Compatible with both Foundry V13 (MeasuredTemplates) and V14 (Regions).
- Auto-Clear Movement History: Automatically clears token movement history at the start of each combat turn. Includes sub-settings to determine when exactly to clear the history (e.g. at the start of a turn, on combat start).
Group 3: Automation & QOL Tasks
- Prompt for Death Saves: Automatically whispers a chat message with a Death Saving Throw button to the player and GM when their character starts a turn with 0 HP.
- Legendary Action Placeholders: When starting a combat that includes an actor with legendary actions, inserts placeholder combatants directly after each player character's and friendly creature's turn to help track legendary actions.
Group 4: Restrictions & Rules
- Force Compendium Browser: Forces players (non-GMs) to open the DnD5e Compendium Browser when clicking the Compendium tab instead of the default pack list.
- Debug Mode: Enables detailed debug logging in the console for troubleshooting.
