WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Action Pack - Adds a really cool, very intuitive panel on the left side with all available actions.
Always HP - Adds a little toolbar that can be used to rapidly adjust token health up and down
Character Actions List - Adds a new tab to character sheets called Actions which shows a combined view of available actions.
Chat Images - Allows copy and pasting or uploading images directly into Foundry's chat.
Cursor Hider - Allows players to hide their cursor from being displayed to everyone. Handy for a GM that wants to move around tokens stealthily.
DFred's Droppables - Allows for dropping a whole folder of tokens onto the canvas. Useful for spawning the entire player party on a map.
Dice So Nice! - Makes rolling spawn 3D dice on the screen. Lots of customization, though not necessary to make it work well. If there are performance issues, I found turning off shadows helped.
Dice Tooltip - Allows you to see the rolls and modifiers on an attack or roll by hovering over it.
Drag Upload - Allows you to drag files directly onto Foundry to create tokens, journals, etc.
Initiative Double Click - Allows you to change the Initiative of a token by double clicking it on the combat tracker.
Less Fog - Makes the fog of war easier to see through for a GM. Gives a button to toggle between a token's vision and the GM's vision when a token is selected.
Mass Edit - Allows you to update the settings on multiple tokens at once.
Multi Token Status - Allows you to apply conditions onto multiple tokens at once.
Pings - Makes pings last longer on the map with a new spinning ping icon.
Player Status - Shows if a player is typing. Players can toggle themselves as AFK.
QoL - Maximized Reopened Sheets - If a sheet window is already opened, this will bring it to the front if there is an attempt to edit it, rather than doing nothing.
Search Anywhere - Adds a search bar that can be used to quickly search through the list of sheets, journals, items, etc.
Sidebar and Windows Resizer - Allows you to resize the chat and also various windows.
Simply Portraits - Adds little token portraits about chat messages and rolls.
Stairways (Teleporter) - Allows you to create teleporters on maps, and even in between maps.
Tidy5e Sheet - Replaces the default character sheets with a much slimmer version. Also has dark mode for sheets in its settings.
Token Action HUD - Creates a little floating toolbar to quickly reach a character's actions, saves, spells, etc.
zSync - Makes it so that when a token is selected and overlapping other tokens, it visually pops to the top of the stack for all views, not just that player's.
5e-Sheet Resources Plus - Adds more resources to character sheets beyond the default 3.
Active Auras - Allows tokens to have invisible auras that can affect nearby tokens, like granting additional save bonuses. Fantastic for Paladin auras.
Drag Ruler - Allows tokens to display a ruler indicating how much they are about to move. Can create waypoints to make a token move between multiple destination points.
Health Estimate - Allows players to hover over a token to see approximately how much HP it has left. My personal setup is: Unconscious, Death's Door, Nearly Dead, Severely Wounded, Severely Wounded, Half Dead, Wounded, Wounded, Hurt, Hurt, Barely Hurt, Unharmed
Magic Items - Allows adding additional spells and such onto magic items directly. Very useful for items that function on charge systems that can be upcast, though a little tricky to work with.
Polyglot - Allows players to use their tokens to speak in different languages. Only other players with that same language can understand what is being said.
QuickScale - Allows the usage of the [ and ] shortcuts to incrementally size tokens up and down (among other things).
Rest Recovery for 5E - Allows rests to be customized. Handy if your long or short rests don't function in the standard 5E way.
Token Color Marker - Add little colorful dots onto tokens, like a status condition. Quick and dirty condition tracking.
Token Ease - Makes tokens move more gradually across a map instead of so slowly. A favorite module amongst my players. My personal setup is Movement Speed 3, Movement Duration 1000, Movement Ease of Back, and Ease of Out.
Bar Brawl - Create different kinds of bars for tokens. I use it to keep player's health bars numerically displayed and to track legendary resources on hostile creatures.
Concentration Notifier - Alerts a player when their token has taken damage and to then roll for Concentration.
Damage Log - Creates a separate chat tab that tallies the damage that tokens receive. Useful for keeping up with whether enough damage has been applied. Can automatically cancel damage dealt. Can make this only visible to the GM.
DFred's Convenient Effects - Allows for easy application of automated spell effects like Bless, Bane, Haste, and so forth. Can create custom effects too.
Force Client Settings - Some modules have options that are really handy to have on by default. This sets those options on by default for all players (though the players can change them later if desired, if you let them).
FXMaster - Allows you to create animated visual effects. I use this mostly for weather effects like clouds, birds, fog, and rain. With a little creativity, these can be customized to also represent things like smog, smoke, ash, magic, and sandstorms. With more creativity, even more is possible.
GridScaler - If a map has a grid on it, this module can help align it to Foundry's grid without needing to adjust the original map image.
Image Hover - Allows you to see a token's full art when hovering over it. My personal setup is to have the image display on the top right of the screen after hovering the cursor over a token for 2 seconds.
Layer Hotkeys - Allows the use of keybindings for canvas layer options. My primary use of this is switching the type of wall being used while constructing them on a map.
Midi QOL - Unparalleled automation ability. Still useful even without all the automation options; I use it for its merged roll cards, for indicating that enemy tokens are dead, and for expediting rolls to not require a dialog prompt each time. Very complex.
Scenery - Background Image Variation Manager - Allows a map to be quickly swapped to variations if it has any, like if you have a version of the map at night.
Storyteller - Makes the journal take on an actual journal-like look.
Tabbed Chatlog - Splits the chat into three sections: character talk, rolls, and out of character talk. Useful for RP'ing while rolls are going on.
Token Variant Art - Makes it possible for a token to have purely visual token variations. Better than Wildcard since it isn't forced to be random. Very unintuitive to work with however.
The two best ones for this are Midi QoL and also Ready Set Roll. Speaking of, I should add that one to the list since it’s really useful, even if I don’t personally use it and it’s not compatible with Midi.
