¶ How to Install
¶ Required Environment
You can have either Chrome or Firefox as the browser.
The install must be the most current version of either.
You must Install VTTES.
You must Install TamperMonkey (for Chrome / Firefox) on your browser
All other browsers, including forked builds of Chromium or Firefox are not supported;
eg. Safari; Waterfox; Edge; Vivaldi; Brave; or Chrome for Opera GX
¶ The Script(s)
There are two versions of the script. You will need to review their offerings to determine which you choose to use when you are prompted to choose one.
While you can install both scripts, attempting have both BOTH active AT THE SAME TIME will cause both to fail, and possibly Roll20 to fail as well.
This is the most feature-rich version of betteR20.
It contains all the features of betteR20-Core, and additionally includes numerous 5eTools specific enhancements, largely centered around importing options for use in the D&D 5e game system.
For either; GMs to import into the game permanently, or by Players to temporarily import into their characters’ sheet.
This requires the game to use a Roll20 5e character sheet
Other D&D 5e sheets may work, but are not supported.
Core includes:
General UI features - not specific to DnD 5e games
