I was gonna create a video to show my new players how to set up their character sheet in foundry for DND but now I don’t need to this is literally perfect, precise, concise and friendly. 11/10 no notes.

[rebsiot]

This is an excellent tutorial video.

Also the sheet revision is ridiculously great. A level up in every possible way.

Congratulations on the achievement!

That transition from an empty sheet with "let me show you a fuller inventory" was smooth, hahaha. Thank you for your hard work!

[KurtStolle-hvlc]

Super thorough, clearly explained, and very appropriately paced. Thank you for taking the time to publish this high-quality tutorial!!

Making the switch to foundry and I was planning on skipping the in game character sheets. But after watching this I think I'll give them another try.

[phillipwarner]

Thanks for making this! Very helpful! I'll definitely watch if you post any other tutorials on the new 5e stuff.

Wow the new sheet looks so much better! The old one I jumped from roll20 to foundry and had no idea where anything was. This looks much better lol.

[samuelpons]

Excellent video! Sending this to my new players as a guide.

[yuanLaughing]

Love your video! Hope to see more videos about playing D&D in Fvtt!

[jontylerlud]

I love this sheet is beautiful! It is very big however so I wonder if there’s a way players can shrink it to see the board easier if they wanted to. Also I don’t think I’ll be updating my dnd 5e system on foundry until the MIDIQOL module updates to work with it. Automated dnd is so much nicer on foundry than extra manual late game dnd

[maxgoldstein]

That’s a really clean character sheet. Our group is new to using Foundry and found that the default sheet wasn’t great.

[spaceflows]

Great video! Is there a way when hovering over something to scroll when items or spells have long descriptions that don't fit in the pop-up box?

[tfowler]

Just found your video, and your videos are the best tutorials I've seen yet for Foundry. Well written and easy to follow along. I'm wondering if any current or pre-existing mods or extensions will sync my DND Beyond characters into this new character sheet? Do you have any idea?

[golgomotas]

When I look through the character sheet I don't see any way to display resources such as ki points, lay on hands pool or bardic inspiration. Where are these resources displayed on the new version of the character sheet?

[Blaze-nmuh]

how do we change the creature type? I have some companions I'm using these sheets for, and they aren't humanoid. Is there a better alternative for them?

[acu]

Very useful, thank you.

(but until ready set roll is available, I don't think we can up date. The fact 3d dice and ready set roll is not standard FVTT is mind boggling.)

[ianwelk]

Can you do a tutorial on how to add a class or subclass to a character sheet? Every time I go to details tab, the custom subclasses are missing

[Horned-Swashbuckler]

Hi! Thank you for the super helpful guide.
Do you have any idea why the background area doesn't automatically add the background feature? It is empty on one of my PC's, but if I try to bring the background or the feature (acolyte), it doesn't add it in the field. I'm talking about the first tab, under race and subrace - section. It tells me player character is allowed to have only one background - but I can't edit, remove it anywhere.
Super annoying! All the other character sheets are working well in two of my games.

[hcporto]

Thanks for the tutorial. I am still having a problem. How can I roll the spell description to the chat?

[jtck]

So do you have to be invited to a campaign to make a sheet?
