Chat Features#

Messages that you and your party send, dice rolls, and uses of items, features, and spells are all tracked in the Chat Log. Let's take a deeper look at what you as a Player can use the chat to do.

Messages#

Foundry allows you to send messages, whispers, and in/out of character messages. By default normal messages and "in-character" messages will also appear over your Token's head but your Gamemaster may have disabled this.

  • In Character: To send a message "in character" preface it with /ic.
  • Out of Character: To send a message "out of character" preface it with /ooc. Messages sent this way will never appear above your Token.
  • Emote: To send a message as an "emote" preface it with /emote like /emote dances.
  • Whisper: To send a whisper to another player or your Gamemaster enter /w PlayersName. To send it to a group of users enter /w [PlayersName, SecondPlayersName].

Rolling Dice#

Foundry has basic and advanced dice rolling. In most circumstances you can use your character sheet or an Item to roll but if you ever need to manually roll you can enter dice formula like 1d20 + 3 + 2d4 and press enter to roll. You can control who can see your rolls by setting the dropdown box above the chat box to: Public Roll, Private GM Roll, Blind GM Roll, or Self-Roll.
