Foundry sheets

The Foundry system's own sheet and the Roliando view, rolls and items with the system's rules, and how to link a sheet to a campaign.

When a campaign uses an installed Foundry system (Foundry's D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Tablas de la costa…), its characters have a Foundry sheet: the system's own sheet, as Foundry draws it, and beside it a Roliando view with the same data laid out cleanly. Rolls, items and conditions use the system's rules.

Where it is

In My sheets (see Your sheets: the list, creating, importing and the trash), with the system marked "Foundry"; the route is /foundry/ficha/<id>. It is created from New character, choosing a system of the Foundry class. Systems are installed beforehand; see Foundry VTT in Roliando: systems, modules and worlds.

Requirements and permissions

The Foundry system must be installed in the GM's account and active in the campaign. Whoever plays the character rolls and uses its items; editing the fields from inside follows the same edit rules as any sheet (Free sheet editing). See Sheet permissions: playing, editing and approval.

The two views

A selector at the top (Sheet type) switches between Foundry and Roliando; the sheet's menu offers the same with Show the system sheet and Show the Roliando sheet. The first is the system's sheet inside the page; the second is what the system returns already prepared, without boxes. The choice is remembered in the browser, and printing uses the Roliando one without changing your preference. If the system's sheet is open in another window, the sheet says so.

Step by step

  1. Open the sheet; you see the portrait, the system's tabs and the actions.
  2. Press Use on an action, an attack or a spell; if the system asks questions (roll mode, target), it puts them in a window.
  3. Open an element for its Details; a right click gives the actions of each row.
  4. Compendiums opens the system's and the modules' in a window, to add items and spells to the sheet. Rest applies the system's rest rule, and Roll as… chooses which character the system takes as yours in rolls that ask for one.
  5. Change the portrait changes the image.

Linking to a campaign

On a sheet with no campaign, the page says "This character has no campaign or system yet" and offers Choose a system and linking it to a campaign. Once linked, the table's system loads.

Known limits

Frequent problems

"The system sheet does not load." Switch to the Roliando view; if that fails too, check that the system is still installed and active.

"It won't let me roll." A sheet with no campaign has no system yet.
