Use Foundry?
No? Well, you should! Foundry is a modernized, better-than replacement for Roll20 which prioritises modding support. It is the 5etools platform of choice for integrations. As such, betteR20 will no longer be receiving updates beyond basic maintenance. Instead, development efforts have gone towards creating an expanded set of tools for Foundry, in the form of the Plutonium module.
To find out how to install the module, visit the wiki. See the Plutonium Features page for an overview of the functionality the module provides.
Use Roll20?
Please note: the 5etools Roll20 integration, betteR20, is no longer being actively developed. Instead, development efforts are being focused on Plutonium, as described above.
Install Roll20 Enhancement Suite and Tampermonkey (Chrome/Firefox), and get the betteR20 script using this link.
As a player, you can import character options, spells, and items to quickly fill out a sheet. As a GM, you can additionally import monsters, tables, and adventures.
To import monsters, your game must have a default character sheet. We strongly recommend using OGL when importing, then switching to another afterwards if desired. (When switching to the Shaped sheet, be sure to open up NPC sheets after import to let them convert.)
Check the installation guide on the wiki, and check the Help page for some basic pointers on how to use the script.
