Thanks! You should be able to middle click to lock the tooltip in place so that you can move your cursor over to it and start to scroll! This got easier in a recent update so if you have a slightly older version of the system this could be a little tricky. The less fun option is to set your chat mode to private and then just post the item to chat so you can read it (private will prevent it from showing up to other players, if you need that)

Because Wizards of the Coast has locked down D&D with extremely strict licensing so that, unless they give you permission and offer you a deal, you are not allowed in any capacity to distribute or sell D&D content. Foundry was operating without a license agreement from WOTC for years, which means they were only ever allowed to include the SRD, which has very very little class content. It has literally only been a few months since Foundry acquired a licensing deal, which is insane because most of us thought WOTC would NEVER offer it. Since then the team has been working their asses off to get the new 2024 content ready to go which launched IN SYNC with the global launch of the PHB, and will continue for the DMG and MM. They also managed to get Tasha's out BEFORE that which means now even the Artificer is "officially" playable. If people were allowed to just release stuff for free, you don't think they would've done so already? It's not legal. That's why the DNDBeyond Importer exists - it's the only service where proof of purchase is required before you import stuff. Also, 95% of its functions are free (unless they changed something, you do not need to pay anything to import class content, only monsters and adventures. It's also literally $5 to import everything you own which is stupidly cheap for a dev that has put in a ton of work to give you such a powerful tool). I'd appreciate you not bringing up piracy tools on my channel. I've given the courtesy of an actual reply, and if you edit that part out I'll leave this comment up because it's valuable information for others. But if not, I'm axing this.

All of your available content will be in the Compendiums tab in the right-hand sidebar (tab that looks like a book). The system comes preloaded with the 2014 SRD, which comes with every class (no Artificer) and one subclass for each. If you want to PURCHASE more classes, Tasha's and the 2024 PHB are available which will provide the Artificer and all the classes/subs from 2024PHB respectively. If you want custom classes or subclasses, you have to make those yourself, which I do have other videos on. Adding anything to the character sheet is just a simple drag + drop from the compendium.

update?

Thanks! I commissioned @tacticiankate on twitter for these! She's great. The token I make from her artwork using the PF2e token ring which you can get if you buy the token pack.

Not currently, though someone may have made a module for it but I'm unaware if so, the Discord might know!

Ha, not 4 years old yet! It really is changing so much every major update, I have to pick and choose what I decide to make videos on so they don't immediately become outdated. A blessing and curse for sure. Glad you enjoyed!

@@gaiarmonie I'm not sure, but I know there is a very active community for translations including French! I would hop into the discord, I believe there is a specific French discord server for Foundry

@@golgomotas Those are tracked on individual features in the features tab - if you favorite any of those features you should see the tracker on any tab of the sheet in the favorites section

Hi there! The Proficiency section has MOVED in newer versions of the D&D system. Now, you go under the Advancements tab and add a Traits advancement! I will be making updated videos starting next month with all the new D&D features as these videos are getting a little old.

Make sure you've updated your game system and disable any modules you might have active

I think the permissions for compendiums has been changed a bit - it's likely something you can still adjust in the world. The Discord might know a little more

You can do it whenever you like, but the server has to be up and the proper world currently loaded. It doesn't have to be during a game session, but the server has to be live to access it, yes. This could be as simple as the server is hosted in the cloud, and is always accessible, or if the DM is self-hosting they can just leave the app open. No different than opening a game on R20 to create a character in a game there.

got 2 installations on different devices

the folks in the discord will probably be able to sort out why it's not showing, could be a number of different things. but shouldn't take too long to fix! discord.gg/hQ4ruyNC

Everything in the video should still be accurate, it's just missing some of the newer features. I'd love to remake the class tutorials at some point, but the 5e system is currently getting a whirlwind of big updates, so I'm sort of waiting until most of the new features are implemented before I put all the effort into a big update video. I don't want to make a new one and then have it become immediately outdated

I just found out that it is a midiqol configuration that is rolling the dices instead of the description.

It does! If a player targets an enemy with an ally flanking then it will automatically apply off balance

@alaustin. Wow that is amazing. Very helpful video, it will be my goto for all of my players come this fall.

Yes! Make sure your game system is updated and you will have the ability to create Race item types. They have advancements similar to Classes and Backgrounds where you can drop individual race features in.

​@@alaustin. But I cant find the races features compendium.

@@reddragon8819 D&D SRD Content > Character Features > Races If you create your own Races, don't put them in there. That's the system compendium, it will be overwritten when the system updates. Make your own compendium, I have videos on that too

I definitely plan to make newer videos with updated info for things that have fallen out of date, I just have to pick my timing wisely. The dnd5e system especially is getting huge updates a lot more frequently, so I don't want to make a new video right away only to have to make another one a few weeks later. I'm glad you are still finding them helpful! What are some things that you have found difficult to understand? Any specific things that are out of date that made things hard to learn?

You need to update the D&D 5e game system to 3.0 or higher (current version is 3.2.somthing)

Yep! I wouldn't update those if it weren't applicable - they introduced this function in V11 and it will continue to work uh... presumably forever. But I updated the thumbnail/title to get people who are picking up Foundry starting with V12 to check it out.

You might be able to set something up like that with limited uses on another item totally, but I think there has been a module to try and get spell points working in the past. I would pop into the discord and ask around!

@@alaustin. Thanks, i'll look around. Oh, another question one of the classes I am trying to port into Foundry has access to ritual only spells, is that something I can use a feature for? Sorry, I'm new to Foundry and trying to learn it. I have all these cool 3rd party character classes, and they are complicated. LOL

Hey there! You can set stuff like this up with the Advancements system, which is part of a Class or Subclass item. I have a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/f6_hArlw3Ug/w-d-xo.html I would also highly recommend asking for help in the #dnd5e channel on the Discord, they are super helpful! and there is some new stuff that isn't in my video

Glad to hear it! Using Foundry's sheet is definitely the most convenient way by far, so if it work for you, it's worth learning for sure. Good luck!

It's the grey number next to the modifier!

Make sure you update the dnd5e system! 11.315 is the Foundry version but the dnd system is updated seprately in the app. Click on "Game Systems" on your setup screen. Also make sure you don't have any modules enabled that might be changing the character sheet.

Thanks so much!! Glad to have covered all the bases! Good luck with your game!

Agree!

I can switch to the Legacy Sheet and back no problem so I would imagine it's a problem with the other sheet modules? Not sure

@@alaustin. Was my first thought too, but i can't even switch to the "default legacy sheet", while i can freely switch between any others, so long as I dont go to the "default 5e sheet, then I'm stuck with that for the character

NVM! the text characters I chose for the identifier seemed to annoy the system. I got rid of apostrophes and it worked? I dunno lol.

@@connorlohse4097 that'll do it! sometimes the formula just gets confused for one reason or another. glad you got it figured out! if you run into any other issues in the future, the Discord will certainly be able to help you figure out what's wrong, the folks in there have seen everything at this point.

don't think so. plans to add come configuration to them though since they're a little aggressive rn

@@alaustin. It would be nice to turn it off completely

The compendiums come with everything that Wizards of the Coast allows to be distributed for free - the System Reference Document or SRD. Nothing else is allowed to be legally distributed without paying for it, that's WOTC's rule.
