A module for modifying certain sheet functions on Foundry VTT Character sheets for D&D 5th Edition. It allows for quick, compounded rolls for items, ability checks saving throws, and just about any roll you might want in 5th Edition D&D.
Though initially a fork of Hooking's Item Sheet Buttons module, it now includes several roll templates designed for Foundry's 5e sheets to increase speed of play.
Felix's Chat Damage Buttons module has been implemented into core Better Rolls.

- New! Implemented d20 roll modes for Single, Dual, and Triple rolls. Single mode will roll double in the case of advantage and disadvantage.
- New! Rolls with advantage or disadvantage highlight the correct roll, indicating which roll is used.
- Improved roll outputs into chat for efficiency. Pretentiously dubbed "Better Rolls", these compounded rolls can include dual d20 rolls for attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws, but also damage rolls and automatic critical damage calculation.
- Added sheet buttons when expanding an item's summary in the sheet, allowing the sheet to quickly output whatever is needed (Attack & damage rolls combined, attack & alternate damage, just attack, just damage...)
- Clicking an item/feat/spell's icon will give a quick roll, based on the fields present in the item clicked.
Clicking with/without the Alt key:
- Alt Quick Rolls, which can be used by holding Alt when clicking the item's icon in the character sheet. These can be configured separately from normal Quick Rolls.
- Need for clicking through prompts in order to get a single roll is removed, allowing for ease of use.
- Per-item options for showing the item's description on a quick roll.
- Per-item critical threshold.
- Supports dnd5e's additional damage rolls, which are fully configurable for appearing on Quick Rolls!
-
Natively supports the Better NPC Sheet
-
Configurable options for disabling better rolls, changing sheet outputs, and labels for both roll sets and damage type.
-
Localization support - now comes with full Japanese and Korean translations!
-
Macro support! Try dragging and dropping an item, spell, or feat from your character sheet onto the macro hotbar!
-
Script macros are also intuitive enough to be entered manually.
-
Try
BetterRolls.quickRoll("Shortbow");on a creature with an item named "Shortbow", orBetterRolls.quickRollByName("Sharon", "Shortbow");to fire Sharon's shortbow. -
Custom damage labels. Add written context to damage rolls to convey what the damage comes from, or when it occurs.
- Additional macro support
- Consumable logic is currently not working. Sit tight as the dnd5e system improves!
- Blind rolls do not work with Better Rolls. This is due to the way that blind roll message logic is implemented in Foundry.
- Big thanks to Atropos for making a wonderful VTT that's worth making modules for!
- Thanks are also due to Hooking for the initial Item Sheet Buttons module, without which this project would not exist.
