Which feature would you like me to take a crack at?

I'll use this as a indicator to help guide my development efforts.

Voting on improved resource linking, simply because it's the most common thing that trips me up. Currently I always use the native SRD version of an item when it's available because they are almost always good to go out of the box, but if it's not in the SRD then I have to make tweaks or remake the item completely because it gets munched as an item type I can't make use of.

Thanks for making this poll! It always feels nice to have an impact in making even better something you love.

I got artificer infusions to work by making custom items for my player and telling him he can equip two of them... it was easy enough that I'd rather the smart people work on something harder =)

Tacking onto the 'reduce the need to enter keys' option - would it be possible for you to enable the yearly payments on Patreon and then set up a key that doesn't expire for a year? I don't know what restrictions Patreon applies to creators using the pay-a-year-in-advance options for their tiers, but it could be an easy solution. I know most people probably don't have 4+ game worlds that they have to update each/every other month, but something like that would solve a first-world problem for me. :)

How viable is it to sync DDB health to foundry? This would be huge for me since I use a table screen and my players edit their health on DDB. If I could get a pseudo-live reading on these it would be huge I assume DDB would put an API limit on this sort of thing though

MrPrimate

Check out Beyond20 - this will sync players health on DDB to Foundry

Mirriky

Oh, yes, thank you for letting me know!

MrPrimate

I'm going to start exploring some options this month.

MrPrimate

So the Update to D&DBeyond should take the checked changes in Foundry and update DDB with them. It should be working - but happy to walk through on Discord. I would check that your Cobalt token/key is still valid.

MrPrimate

The ddb-importer doesn't do instant sync, o my when you press the button. Beyond20 syncs DDB hp to Foundry immediately
