¶ What it is
Rivet is a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox which links Foundry and the 5eTools website, allowing 5eTools to push content such as creatures, items and the results of rolls to Foundry VTT.
Rivet requires you to have a Foundry game session open in another tab of the same browser as 5eTools with the Plutonium module active.
¶ What it does
Rivet allows you to quickly import content such as creatures, items and more to Foundry VTT directly from the 5eTools website.
Rivet will also send rolls you make in 5eTools to Foundry VTT.
The result of the roll inside Foundry and the result in 5eTools will be different!

See Plutonium Known Issues for more info.
¶ Common Mistakes
¶ Why am I getting a “browser_specific_settings” / “gecko” error?
You need to update Rivet.
¶ Why doesn’t Rivet work with my Foundry session?
Most likely because you’re using the native Electron stand alone app. You have to have a Foundry session logged into the same browser with Rivet installed that you’re using 5eTools through.
(Both must be the same session type - i.e. an incognito/private browsing session & a normal session will not communicate with each other.)
¶ Changelog
Current version of Rivet is 0.1.6 as of 2021/09/27
