Description

AoE Targeting adds a map toolbar mode that automatically updates the active actor's targets based on drawn pointer/area templates.

When enabled, draw or adjust a Fantasy Grounds Unity pointer on the map and the extension will replace the active actor's targets with tokens inside the shape. It supports common circle/sphere, square/cube, rectangle, cone, line/arrow, and supported Savage Worlds template shapes, including faction-filtered follow-up targeting for self targets, allies or enemies.

This is intended to speed up spells, breath weapons, grenades, bursts, cones, and other area effects while still using Fantasy Grounds' normal targeting system.

Place your template, move it across the battlefield, and targets are instantly selected and deselected as tokens enter or leave the area of effect.

No manual targeting.
No stopping combat to count squares.
No “who’s inside?” discussions.

Just:
Draw → Position → Act.
