foundryvtt/dnd5e release-4.3.0

on GitHub

The 4.3 release of the system is a smaller release that contains incremental improvements to a range of system functionality as we gear up for the release of the Monster Manual, and the Alpha release of Ember. As always, full patch notes are available at the bottom.

⚠️ COMPATIBILITY WARNING: ⚠️ The version 4.3.0 release of the system ONLY SUPPORTS Foundry Virtual Tabletop version 12 (release) and greater. To use this new game system version you must also use Foundry VTT version 12. 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-4.3.0/system.json

Improved Recovery

Instead of filling the chat with rolls whenever magic items are recharged after a long rest, this information is now consolidated as part of the rest summary. The rolls are still viewable by clicking the die icon.

Additionally, a new option has been added to automatically roll recovery for NPCs while in combat. It is off by default, but if enabled, NPCs will appropriately roll their recharge abilities at the start of their turns in combat, and display a summary chat card, similar to rests.

Copying & Moving Items

When dragging items around, you may now hold down a keyboard modifier to control whether the item is copied or moved. This applies to all item transfers, whether you're moving loot from an NPC to the party's group sheet, or building containers in your compendium. Hold Shift or Command to move, or Ctrl or Alt to copy. These modifiers do not give the user any special permissions, however, so players cannot move items from an Actors they do not own, they may only copy them, as before.

Initiative Grouping

Groups of the same type of NPC that share the same initiative in combat now appear under a collapsible heading in the combat tracker.

NPC Habitats

It's now possible to specify the habitats associated with any given NPC, and also filter by those habitats to find ones appropriate for your encounter.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

The various dnd5e.preRoll*V2 hooks no longer receive fully-initialised rolls data as part of the config parameter, and instead receive the raw rolls value passed to the method initially. The roll dialog is now responsible for generating appropriate system-provided parts and data for rolls. If your hook requires these, it can call dialog.options.buildConfig to retrieve them.

config.rolls.map((roll, index) => {
  roll = foundry.utils.deepClone(roll);
  dialog.options?.buildConfig?.(config, roll, null, index);
  return roll;
});

Take care to not mutate the roll data as part of this operation. If a roll dialog is spawned after the conclusion of the preRoll hook, it will not function correctly.
