Generic Actions – Quick Access to Core Actions in Fantasy Grounds

Streamline Gameplay with Action Buttons for Characters & NPCs

The Generic Actions extension for Fantasy Grounds adds convenient, clickable buttons for key actions directly onto player and NPC sheets. No more searching through rules—just click an action to roll checks, contest grapples, or execute movement-based maneuvers.

Key Features

• One-Click Action Execution: Adds Grapple, Break Grapple, Shove, Dash, Disengage, Dodge, Help, Hide, Ready, Search, and Use Object buttons to PC and NPC sheets.
• Automated Checks & Contests: Actions requiring ability checks or contesting rolls automatically target creatures and roll appropriately.
• Dice Tower Support: Checks and contests can be performed secretly using the Dice Tower.
• GM & Sidekick Friendly: NPCs also gain these buttons—perfect for player-controlled allies and GM-run creatures.

Advanced Features & Optional Enhancements

• Expanded Action List: Includes optional actions from the Dungeon Master’s Guide, such as Disarm, Overrun, and Tumble.
• Combat Automation Options:
  • Prevent attacks and spellcasting if a creature is out of ammo or affected by specific conditions.
  • Enable flanking bonuses for melee positioning.
  • Apply range limitations and penalties for attacks.
