macros VS ddb-importer

Yeah, learning how to do other stuff in Javascript is a good way to start. But then maybe look at things like the example scripts in the community macros: https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros

Have a look at the community free macro module. https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros

If you code at all, then Foundry jumps even higher up the recommendation list since it's designed intentionally to allow people to build stuff and add functionality. As someone who used to mess with R20 macros and their proprietary API, this is probably one of my favorite benefits to Foundry. They have some typical documentation though if you prefer examples the community macros repo is great for that.

Read some of the shorter/simpler macros from https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros to get a sense of how they work.

This macro in the FoundryVTT Community Macros GitHub repository "selects all actors of the same name on the scene." I haven't tested it, but these macros have never given me issues in the past, and I recommend checking out that repo if there's ever something you're looking for.

Quick size control (#2) is generally handled by macros. There's a macro for quickly swapping tokens between 1x1 and 2x2 in the community macros. If you want some that will just bump a token up or down 1 grid size, I can get you mine personal ones in a bit when I'm at my main computer/

Try this one: https://github.com/foundry-vtt-community/macros/blob/4e25a66ef7990dbcb0c9015b554286de147c5116/actor/5e_lay_on_hands.js

For those who find this through search, here are the importers I discussed: Import List Status: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/status.html Adventure Mucher: https://docs.ddb.mrprimate.co.uk/ (ingest D&D Beyond adventure) Importer: https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer (import D&D Beyond adventure)

This is an addon to Foundry. Syncing to Beyond. From Beyond to Foundry is free. Although if you want to sync, it requires a Patreon. https://github.com/MrPrimate/ddb-importer

It's probably just been fixed- the guy that develops it seems absurdly active.

It gives you whatever you've paid for on DDB. So if you only have the PHB, you only get the PHB backed up into Foundry for example. I'm not sure how it maps because I haven't inspected the code lol.

Since WotC haven't licensed anything for Foundry, Foundry itself only contains the SRD material for 5E. To get LMoP into Foundry in the simplest way possible, you'll want to use something like the D&D Beyond Importer, a tutorial video for which is available here.
