5E - Request Roll Extension - WIP

[st4lk3r87]

Hello!

As a DM I always see my players having a lot of difficulties when I ask for a Check/Save/Initiative/Skill roll. So I worked on a new extension called: "Roll For Initiative".

How it works?
The DM select one or more PC, choose a skill/save/check/init/death roll and press the "Request Roll" button. The player receives a popup window with a button to be pressed. Pressing that button will make the magic happen.

I wonder if any of you is interested on this extension and I'd like to get some feedback too.

Here's the most stable version of the extension: 5E Roll For Initiative

That looks cool st4lk3r87

Very nice! I like how you used the character portraits. I think I might use that style for ready check and put a green check on it when they are ready.

Great stuff!

Yes, that's the chatbox frame. I'm not entirely sure about the final style I want to use. I'd like to be close to the default style.

Thank you for the feedback!

The current plan is to create a first extension with simple and direct "Roll Request".
After that I'm thinking to treat a "Roll Request" as a record ( similar to an item,images,sounds ). The DM will be able to prepare some "Roll Request" and put them as link in his stories.

This would be totally cool! How many times have I asked for a perception roll etc. This would speed things up immensely for my table. Great idea st4lk3r87 and thanks for doing this!!

Suggestion: Have an option to Select all Friendly Units as well as All PCs. Then have it roll for any friendly units in the Combat Tracker as well.

Has a lot of potential!

Thank you! At the moment I'm showing the list of PCs which are in the Party Sheet.

Could you give me an example?

Though I like this idea, imo it adds more work to the GM. Since I like to put things on the players to do, what about a Save/Check window for the players to open and use? It would be the same as what you are proposing, but would only have their own saves and checks (and init). It would be opened by an icon, or perhaps by the GM.

For example, right now my players have two NPCs in their party. So it would be nice if it could also pull data from the NPC sheets for these checks/saves. It would have to query the Combat Tracker for friendly faction NPCs.

It definitely add more work on the GM. I'm planning to keep it as simple as possible. Usually I find myself waiting something like 10 seconds or more after I ask: "Ok guys, Roll for Initiative!" or "Barbarian and Bard, do a perception check".
So I think it's a balance "GM time" vs "Global Game Time".

I think there's already an extension for that. It adds Save/Check in the Actions tab. Unfortunately I forgot the name.
