Effects Panel




A module that adds a panel of active effects for the selected token.

Overview​

Managing active effects in Foundry VTT often requires opening character sheets and navigating through menus, which can disrupt gameplay flow. The Effects Panel streamlines this process by providing quick access to effect management directly from the canvas.

When you select a token, a convenient panel appears in the top-right corner displaying all active effects on that actor. This panel allows you to view effect details, remaining durations, expiration status, and descriptions by hovering over the icons.

The panel offers intuitive controls for effect management - double-click an effect to open its configuration, and right-click to quickly enable, disable, or delete effects based on your preferred settings. This streamlined interface eliminates the need to constantly open character sheets, keeping your focus on the game rather than the interface.
