📐 The new Measure Tool is available for free to all users when you opt in to the VTT redesign! The Beam shape has been added for all your terrifying spell attacks.
✏️ Create characters outside of the VTT with our updated Character Vault! Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulhu, and Marvel Multiverse RPG are available with many more sheets to come.

VTT Improvements
We’ve added a note to the bottom-left corner of the Measure Tool dialog box that lets you know what current measuring system you’re using when doing measurements which should help reduce confusion
When you’re on the lighting layer, the Freehand drawing tool will be disabled
You can now move things directly to the Lighting layer from the right-click menu
We’ve made a change to the rendering system for Explorer Mode which should result in increased performance, especially for GMs with complicated maps with lots of walls and lights

Fixed an issue where text was showing up as an unreadable black-on-black in Firefox in dark mode for the 5E sheet

Pathfinder 2e
Added a custom feat choice option upon drag & drop for Classes that offer choices between feats with a specific trait at level 1 (e.g. Summoner)
Fixed an issue where modifiers for Psychic class, specialization Subconscious Mind was not applying the bonus to spellcasting fields
Drag & drop will now accurately reflect any languages granted by Background choices at level 1
Empty headers were appearing for spells when specializations choices only grant focus spells (e.g. Druid Specializations); now only focus spells are displayed

Fixed a bug to make it more obvious where the focus is on the sheet when using Tab to navigate
When your browser/system settings has ‘reduce motion’ accessibility settings turned on the sheet will now reduce motion as well
Powers derived from your origin will now automatically be selected in the Powers slide of the Character Builder
Power options within the Character Builder will now correctly apply any mechanical limitations for power selections based on Origin choices (e.g. Atlantean origin)

You can now re-roll a die with edge & trouble within the chat log – click on the dice you want to re-roll and choose edge or trouble to get your new result

You can now see which Power Set a Power belongs to on the sheet

Fixed a bug where users were able to view a whole character sheet even if they didn’t have edit permissions; users with view access only will now only be able to see the profile view of the sheet
Deleting a custom power set while it is being filtered for in the Powers panel now clears the Power Set filter
Deleting a power no longer leaves a blank power item in your powers section
Tags acquired from origins/occupations are no longer selectable as duplicates in character builder

Fixed the attack calculation when rolling damage to use the correct modifier
Fixed an issue where the builder would break for certain origin selections
General Updates
Character Vault
On the Character Vault, we’ve stopped showing the welcome pop-up every time. Now it will only show once and you can bring it back up when you open the help menu item.
From the Character Vault, you can now update the name of your character in the same place as you edit the Bio & Info for that character.
Added a d100 in the dice tray when viewing/editing a character in the Character Vault.
Fixed a bug where Edge & Trouble rolls were not working as expected within the Vault on the Marvel Multiverse RPG Character sheet.
