D&D5e System Release v0.92

Welcome to a content update for the D&D5E system.

Compatibility: The version 0.92 release for the D&D5e system supports FVTT Release version 0.6.0 and higher. For Foundry VTT versions prior to 0.6.0 you must install an earlier version of the 5e system.

Installation: To manually install the 0.92 release, please use the following manifest URL: https://gitlab.com/foundrynet/dnd5e/raw/release-0.9.2/system.json

New Features

• Updated the item type of ammunition from being a weapon sub-type to being a consumable sub-type. Other aspects of Ammunition remain the same, but if you are currently tracking ammunition in your games your compendium packs should be updated to reference the new ammo types instead of the old weapon-based ammo.
• Implement a distance measurement option for Euclidean distance which measures linear point-to-point distance.
• Correct the logic for Death Saving Throw successes where a critical success will now restore the character to 1 hit point and reset death saves.
• Improve the logic used to determine the default ability score modifier for a weapon to account for Finesse and Ranged weaponry rules to use Dexterity by default when appropriate.

Compendium Improvements

• Incorporate Token artwork from Forgotten Adventures for many new creatures in the SRD compendium between CR 1/4 and CR3.
• Released a new Compendium pack called Monster Features which contains a large number of features which appear on monsters in the 5e system. The purpose for this compendium pack is to make it much easier or faster to quickly pull together homebrew monsters using a combination of traits which appear on existing creatures as well as to better maintain the data quality for Monster features which can be first fixed in this compendium pack and then applied to all monsters who use those features.
• Fix some issues with the default spellcasting ability scores for the Starter Heroes in the compendium pack.

Localization Improvements

• Add localization support for some checkboxes on the sheet.
