3.1 Release Banner

The 3.1 release of the system brings with it a whole host of long-awaited features including damage application automation, concentration automation, and summoning. The full list is much longer, so please read ahead for an overview of the new features with full patch notes at the bottom.

⚠️ COMPATIBILITY WARNING: ⚠️ The version 3.1.0 release of the system ONLY SUPPORTS Foundry Virtual Tabletop version 11 (release) and greater. To use this new game system version you must also use Foundry VTT version 11. If you do not wish to update your core software, please continue using a previous version of the dnd5e system.

Installation: To manually install this release, please use the following manifest URL: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/releases/download/release-3.1.0/system.json


New Features

Dark Mode Character Sheet

Any kobold players suffering from Sunlight Sensitivity will appreciate the new dark mode theme for the character sheets.

Dark Mode Character Sheets
Character portrait art by mikiko.art

If your OS is set to prefer dark mode then your character sheets will render in dark mode by default. If you would like to force a particular theme for the dnd5e system, you can do so from the settings menu. At the moment, only character sheets have a dark theme but as more sheets are shifted to the v2 styles they will also come with dark mode designs.

System Theme Setting

Concentration Automation

The system now includes robust automation around casting and maintaining concentration on spells and other features.

Firstly, if you'd like to continue tracking concentration manually, you may opt-out of the automation via the system settings:

Disable Concentration Automation

For those using the new automation, the system will now keep track of when a character casts a spell that requires concentration:

Bless Icon Concentration
Bless Concentration ActiveEffect

And it will remind that character when they attempt to cast another spell that requires concentration:

Spell Cast Concentration Reminder

Finally, it will prompt the character's owner to make a Concentration saving throw whenever that character takes damage, with an appropriate DC based on the damage taken.

Concentration Challenge Chat Card

Ad-hoc Concentration saving throws can be made from the character sheet:

Concentration Save on Character Sheet

And various modifiers and bonuses relating to Concentration saves can also be configured:

Concentration Configuration

When applying the effects of a spell that requires concentration to other creatures, those effects become linked to the caster's concentration effect. If concentration is ever broken, the linked effects are removed.

Breaking Concentration

Summoning

The system includes the ability for automatically bringing summoned creatures into your world. This allows you to reference a list of creatures to be summoned from a feature or spell, modify the actors before they are brought into the world, and place them where you wish in the scene.

summoning-summary

Summoning items can be set up by selecting the new "Summon" action type on an item's details tab and then opening the summoning configuration window. Multiple summons profiles can be configured which will be selectable by the player when using the spell to bring different creatures into the world. Variable parts of the summoned creature's stat block can be tweaked based on level of spell cast or other details from the summoner.

More information on summoning can be found on the wiki.

Resistances, Immunities, & Vulnerability Automation

The damage roll card has now been expanded to offer a live preview of damage application, appropriately taking into account any of the target's resistances, immunities, or vulnerabilities.

Damage Application Tray

The tray allows the DM to choose between a fixed list of creatures that were targeted at the time the damage roll was made, or to preview the damage against any tokens they have currently selected.

In addition to the buttons which control a fixed multiplier to the damage dealt, any resistances, vulnerabilities, or immunities that are affecting the damage the creature would take are also displayed. These toggles are interactable and allow for ad-hoc ignoring of any given resistance, vulnerability, or immunity, or optionally downgrading an immunity to resistance. The damage preview will automatically update to show the amount of damage the creature will take.

Ignoring Resistance


⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • [#3099] Clicking anywhere in the item description in a chat card collapses the description.
    • As part of fixing this, we have moved to a new CSS-only technique for handling collapsibles in the system. This changes the markup of chat messages very slightly, and will mean that old chat messages render expanded always, and cannot be collapsed. Messages made after the update will work as expected.
  • [#3035] Improve detection of when a creature takes damage and provide appropriate hooks.
    • As part of implementing this, the old dhp and dtemp options that were sometimes sent as part of Actor update requests have been removed. They would only be available some of the time and did not cover all cases where an Actor might take damage. The new dnd5e.damageActor and dnd5e.healActor hooks should appropriately fire whenever an Actor is damaged or healed now.
  • [#3264] Deprecated LimitedUseFormulaPeriods in the config.
    • CONFIG.DND5E.limitedUsePeriods entries have become objects. The formula property of these objects determines whether the period has a recharge formula, obviating the need for CONFIG.DND5E.limitedUseFormulaPeriods.
  • [#3248] Apply healing based on damage type rather than requiring a negative multiplier.
    • Actor5e#applyDamage now accepts the invertHealing option which is true by default. When encountering a healing damage part, it will automatically apply the value as healing rather than damage. Code that previously called this method with a negative multiplier in order to apply healing should be updated to pass invertHealing: false.
  • [#3255] Migrate ItemGrant & ItemChoice Advancements to store configured Items as objects rather than UUID strings.
    • There is an automatic migration & compatibility path in effect for this change, but code that creates these Advancements should update to pass an array of { uuid: string } objects rather than an array of strings to the Advancement's configuration.
  • [#3031] The metadata on abstract data models is now frozen.
  • [#2747] Added support for advancements on custom module types.
    • Advancement.metadata#validItemTypes has been deprecated in favour of configuring valid types via CONFIG.DND5E.advancementTypes. This config variable has also had its entries migrated to objects.

Bug Fixes

  • [#3254] Fixed an issue with Dynamic Token Rings flashing if the colors object has null values.
  • [#3224] Stored item data in chat cards can now contain Active Effects. This means using the last of a consumable with an Active Effect and a 1/1 destroy on empty charge will still be able to apply the Active Effect.
  • [#3200] Empty values in the Available Uses field no longer show as null.
  • [#3195] Fixed the Wing Attack on the SRD Adult White Dragon.
  • [#3182] Dropping an advancement with "Any Level" onto a class no longe rprevents them from being displayed.
  • [#3180] Invalid Actor sizes no longer prevents the Actor sheet from rendering.
  • [#3178] Dropping a Spell onto an Equipment Item no longer initiates the prompt for copying advancements.
  • [#3165] The system no longer offers to place a measured template if no Scene is open.
  • [#3163] Spell damage now always include the magical property for overcoming resistances.
  • [#3130] Improved CSS for the indicator on exploded dice to prevent it from becoming misplaced in some circumstances.
  • [#3099] Fixed chat messages collapsing when clicking on the details element.
  • [#3075] The system now prevents duplicates targets from the same Actor and no longer throws an error if the Actor is missing.
  • [#3065] Roll commands no longer throw an error when using multiplication or division and the _enrichRollTooltip method now passes the roll's original formula.
  • [#3058] Improved CSS to better support alternate font sizes in the 3.0.0 character sheet.
  • [#2935] Revise AE application methods to enable correct duration tracking.
  • [#2920] Formula data in attack bonuses now works on ammunition.

Official Release Banner

It's been a long time coming, but the dnd5e system for Foundry Virtual Tabletop is now official. We've marked this occasion with a special 3.0 release of the system that includes a completely redesigned character sheet, dynamic token ring shaders, container support, and many more features and underlying architectural improvements that will be covered below.

These changes come alongside the 2.5 features, for which full patch notes are included at the bottom.

⚠️ COMPATIBILITY WARNING: ⚠️ The version 3.0.0 release of the system ONLY SUPPORTS Foundry Virtual Tabletop version 11 (release) and greater. To use this new game system version you must also use Foundry VTT version 11. If you do not wish to update your core software, please continue using a previous version of the dnd5e system.

Installation: To manually install this release, please use the following manifest URL: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/releases/download/release-3.0.0/system.json


Table of Contents


New Features

The following contains an overview of the most prominent new features included in 3.0. There are many other changes included that should improve normal play, but don't require any specific guidance on how to find or use them.

Character Sheet

The character sheet has been completely redesigned to include some official branding and a fresh new look. For the most part, you can expect all the features and functionality you're used to (with one notable exception noted further down), but with further enhancements, and more on the way.

Character Sheet Overview
Character portrait art by Tim Kong

Known Issues: If your group still uses text-based Race & Background information, it will not appear on the new sheet, which does not have support for these text-based fields. The Race & Background must be created as Items first, and then dragged to the sheet.

Edit & Play Mode

The character sheet now features a toggle in the top-left to switch between two different modes. In 'Play' mode, the sheet is optimised for normal play. You will be able to edit HP, mark off spell slots, equip and attune to items, toggle effects on and off, use items, roll ability checks and saving throws, and any number of things you might be expected to do during the course of the session. Things like adjusting ability scores or skill proficiencies can only be done when switching to 'Edit' mode, however.

Mode Toggle

Not only does this allow for some of the clutter required to display editing controls to be hidden away during normal use of the sheet, it also resolves a long-standing inconvenience around attributes modified by Active Effects. Edit mode will always show the base value of an attribute, while Play mode will always show its current value, so there is no longer a need to disable the fields on the sheet in order to prevent confusion.

Searching, Filtering, Grouping, & Sorting

Each of the inventory, features, and spells tabs have been imbued with the functionality to quickly filter the Items shown in the tab by their name or by various other properties. The lists can also be sorted alphabetically, or ordered manually. The inventory tab allows for toggling between grouped and ungrouped display, and the features tab allows for toggling between active/passive grouping, and grouping based on the source of the feature.

Inventory Tab

Rich Tooltips

Various parts of the UI have been augmented with rich tooltips. This is most noticeable in the character sheet, but it extends to other areas of the system too, such as Item content links, and the rule page enrichers covered later.

Item Tooltip Spell Tooltip Feature Tooltip

Known Issues: If a tooltip is spawned far from the cursor and then locked, it will immediately disappear as soon as the mouse is moved. This is a limitation of the core tooltip API that will be resolved in version 12 of the software. In the meantime, the cursor should first be moved close to the tooltip if intending to lock it.

Conditions

The effects tab now includes a toggle for each of the core system conditions, allowing them to be toggled on and off from the sheet for convenience, or in cases where tokens are not available or in use.

Effects Tab

The token status effects have also been updated to have a 1:1 correspondence to the D&D 5e conditions, with the addition of several other useful status effects that aren't true conditions. Special thanks to @krbz999 for his initial work on that.

Favourites

Space at the bottom left of the character sheet has been reserved for the character's favourites. These might be weapons, spells, features, or skills the character frequently uses, or resources or items that the character needs to keep careful track of. Favourites can be added by dragging-and-dropping something from the sheet onto the favourites section. Currently it supports dropping Items, Active Effects, Skills, Tools, and Spell Slots (drag the spell level header from the spells tab), and can be extended to add support for more types of favourites.

Favourites

Resources

The concept of 3 'character'-level resources has been sunset in the system in favour of all resources coming via Items. What this means is that already-configured resources will continue to be visible on the new character sheets for now, under the favourites tab, and will still exist in the character data model, but new characters will not see them and will not be able to use them.

Legacy Resources

In order to bridge a gap left by the sunsetting of this feature, tokens may now have Item 'uses' configured for display on their token bars.

New Token Bar Configuration Options

Containers

This long-awaited feature has finally arrived. The dnd5e 3.0 update includes fully-functional containers. Drag-and-drop Items between container sheets, between containers and Actor sheets, or to and from the sidebar or compendium packs. Containers can contain other containers up to five layers deep, and can be moved around wholesale, taking the entirety of their nested contents with them.

Container Sheet

Usage Note: Containers behave very similarly to Folders. Moving an Item from the sidebar into a container also pres...

chrome_034MSS75KE

The 2.4 update contains some long-awaited features such as the Race Item, as well as the continued development of the Advancement system in the form of the Trait Advancement that encompasses saving throw, skill, tool, weapon, armor, and language proficiencies. In addition to these big features, the update also contains a great many fixes and improvements to all areas of the system.

Installation: To manually install this release, please use the following manifest URL: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/releases/download/release-2.4.0/system.json


Races

The new race Item allows for a character's race to be dragged-and-dropped onto their sheet, bringing with it any racial features, ability score improvements, and proficiencies. Read more on the wiki in Custom Race Tutorial.

Editing movement, speed, & senses

Configuring ability score increases and size

Existing characters will retain whatever they had filled-in as their race on their character sheet previously, and may continue to use the text field if they prefer. If you add a race Item to your character's sheet, however, the name of that Item will become your character's race, and you will be able to edit their creature type on the sheet.

Trait Advancement

The landscape of proficiencies in the game rules can be quite complex if we think about granting the choice of skill proficiencies, expertise, different rules for multiclass characters, etc. The new Trait Advancement allows for a comprehensive configuration of all of these things, allowing users to create custom classes and races that grant proficiencies in the same way as the core rule system. For a thorough overview of this feature, please see the wiki article on Trait Advancement.

Granting saving throw proficiencies

Choosing skill proficiencies from a set

Making your skill proficiency choices

Custom Enrichers

Custom enrichers speed up the process of writing adventure content for the system. Writing ability check, saving throw, and damage rolls in a special syntax will allow them to be automatically expanded into the full rules language familiar to readers, but will additionally hook into the roll functionality of the system. See the article on Custom Enrichers in the wiki for more information.

Patch Notes

The full list of changes is included below:

⚠️ Breaking Changes

Class Item Data Changes

The system.saves and system.skills properties have been removed from the class Item as these are handled by the Trait Advancement now.

Single Background Items

It is no longer possible for Actors to have more than one background Item. This will not affect existing Actors that have more than one background, but no additional background Items will be able to be added until the all the other have first been removed.

End of Deprecation Period

The following parts of the API have reached the end of their deprecation periods, and have been removed.

  • DamageTraitSelector
  • ProficiencySelector
  • ActorSkillConfig
  • CONFIG.DND5E.abilityAbbreviations
  • Item5e#roll
  • Item5e#getCriticalThreshold

AbilityUseDialog Changes

We have refactored the resource consumption dialog to make it clearer how options on resource consumption flow from initial item configuration through to the user's choice. As a result, some signatures have been changed.

  • AbilityUseDialog#create now takes a second config parameter that contains the default resource consumption options configured on the Item (as modified by any intervening hooks).
  • The ItemUseConfiguration object has had several properties changed:
    • consumeQuantity has been removed and rolled into the functionality of consumeUsage.
    • consumeRecharge has been removed and rolled into the functionality of consumeUsage.
    • needsConfiguration has been removed. This is now inferred from the state of the overall config. If no properties are true, then no configuration is necessary and the dialog is skipped.
    • consumeSpellLevel has been renamed to slotLevel.
