The 2.4 update contains some long-awaited features such as the Race Item, as well as the continued development of the Advancement system in the form of the Trait Advancement that encompasses saving throw, skill, tool, weapon, armor, and language proficiencies. In addition to these big features, the update also contains a great many fixes and improvements to all areas of the system.

Installation: To manually install this release, please use the following manifest URL: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/releases/download/release-2.4.0/system.json

Races

The new race Item allows for a character's race to be dragged-and-dropped onto their sheet, bringing with it any racial features, ability score improvements, and proficiencies. Read more on the wiki in Custom Race Tutorial.

Editing movement, speed, & senses

Configuring ability score increases and size

Existing characters will retain whatever they had filled-in as their race on their character sheet previously, and may continue to use the text field if they prefer. If you add a race Item to your character's sheet, however, the name of that Item will become your character's race, and you will be able to edit their creature type on the sheet.

Trait Advancement

The landscape of proficiencies in the game rules can be quite complex if we think about granting the choice of skill proficiencies, expertise, different rules for multiclass characters, etc. The new Trait Advancement allows for a comprehensive configuration of all of these things, allowing users to create custom classes and races that grant proficiencies in the same way as the core rule system. For a thorough overview of this feature, please see the wiki article on Trait Advancement.

Custom Enrichers

Custom enrichers speed up the process of writing adventure content for the system. Writing ability check, saving throw, and damage rolls in a special syntax will allow them to be automatically expanded into the full rules language familiar to readers, but will additionally hook into the roll functionality of the system. See the article on Custom Enrichers in the wiki for more information.

Patch Notes

The full list of changes is included below:

⚠️ Breaking Changes

Class Item Data Changes

The system.saves and system.skills properties have been removed from the class Item as these are handled by the Trait Advancement now.

Single Background Items

It is no longer possible for Actors to have more than one background Item. This will not affect existing Actors that have more than one background, but no additional background Items will be able to be added until the all the other have first been removed.

End of Deprecation Period

The following parts of the API have reached the end of their deprecation periods, and have been removed.

  • DamageTraitSelector
  • ProficiencySelector
  • ActorSkillConfig
  • CONFIG.DND5E.abilityAbbreviations
  • Item5e#roll
  • Item5e#getCriticalThreshold

AbilityUseDialog Changes

We have refactored the resource consumption dialog to make it clearer how options on resource consumption flow from initial item configuration through to the user's choice. As a result, some signatures have been changed.

  • AbilityUseDialog#create now takes a second config parameter that contains the default resource consumption options configured on the Item (as modified by any intervening hooks).
  • The ItemUseConfiguration object has had several properties changed:
    • consumeQuantity has been removed and rolled into the functionality of consumeUsage.
    • consumeRecharge has been removed and rolled into the functionality of consumeUsage.
    • needsConfiguration has been removed. This is now inferred from the state of the overall config. If no properties are true, then no configuration is necessary and the dialog is skipped.
    • consumeSpellLevel has been renamed to slotLevel.
