D&D5e System Release v0.90

Welcome to a major update for the D&D5e system in Foundry Virtual Tabletop.

Compatibility: The version 0.90 release for the D&D5e system supports FVTT Beta versions 0.5.6 and higher. For Foundry VTT versions prior to 0.5.5 you must install an earlier version of the 5e system.

Installation: To manually install the 0.90 release, please use the following manifest URL: https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/dnd5e/raw/release-0.9.0/system.json

New Features

• Items can now define a consumed resource which is used when the item card is played or when an attack roll is made (in the case of ammunition). Consumed resources can be ammunition, materials, a character attribute, or the number of uses/charges allowed by another owned item. The relevant resource is automatically deducted when the item is used. This works great for tracking resource spenders that reference a common resource pool (like Sorcerer metamagic, Bardic Inspiration uses, Monk Ki points, or Fighter superiority dice). This also allows for ammo tracking with weapons which require physical ammunition, or strict tracking of spell components.
• Allow Spell items to be converted to Scroll-type Consumable items when they are dropped on the Inventory tab of the Actor sheet.
• Expand the Long Rest dialog to include a checkbox for whether or not the Long Rest constitutes a "New Day", allowing items which recharge daily to replenish their uses.
• Allow for displaying the total skill bonus (including special bonuses) on the character sheet instead of just the base modifier.
• Support the Reliable Talent feature which can guarantee a minimum roll of 10 on skill checks where the user is proficient.

Compendium Improvements

• Incorporate Token artwork from Forgotten Adventures for many new creatures in the SRD compendium between CR 1/4 and CR2.
• Add some additional monsters to the SRD compendium which were recently added to the OGL.
• Standardize the way that Consumable items are used so that they may roll attack rolls, damage rolls, and saving throws like all other Item types.
• Improve the quantity and default number of charges for several Item compendium entries which have limited uses.

Bug Fixes

• Allow limited uses to be tracked properly for spells which do not otherwise consume spell slots to cast.
• Improve the way that Skill calculation is handled for Wildshape to keep the better skill modifier between the original actor and the wild-shaped form.
• Improve an issue with assigning (override) pact magic spell slots to a non-player character.
• Starter Hero Cleric has spellcasting ability was set incorrectly.

Localization Improvements

• Add localization support for all advanced character flags.
• Sort many CONFIG objects (like Skills and Languages) alphabetically using the localized values so they are displayed in a sensible order in each language.

API Improvements

• Refactor and improve the ES6 module structure of the 5e repo by converting many classes to export default rather than export as module objects.
• Remove the "Auto Use" (default behavior) and "Destroy on Empty" (no longer done) option for Consumables as it is inconsistent with the way other limited use Items are now handled.
• Improve the structure of skill check bonuses to display global bonuses on the Character sheet as well as separately within rollSkill() tests.
• Give the Actor5e class an applyDamage(amount, multiplier) method which allows directly modifying the health pool of a single Actor (taking into consideration temporary hit points).
