    5E character sheet - which items in inventory is unidentified

    If I as a GM hands out items to the players, and those items are unidentified - those items remain unidentified in their inventory.

    I think they can click the "red-dragon" to see that it's unidentified, and so they can essentially see that it's probably magic. NOTE: this is not desired.

    I have set identifying in my campaign as Identify spell is needed (you can't just use rest).

    This can in theory overtime build up overtime, and I'd like an easy way to see in their inventory (or by partysheet) which items are not identified (only GM can see this).

    Is this something that already exists, by default og by extension?

    (and yes, I can click into each item they have to see this, but that can take time with a long inventory).

    Another thing that happend recently when I played a short module; some item parcels had filled out identified info, but not the un-identified section (and those items was unidentified). This resulted in me as a GM saw the identified text, and the players saw the text "unidentified item".... and I couldn't understand which item they where talking about. So essentially a easy way for GM (only) to see which items are un-identified in character inventory & partysheet is what's desiredd.

    Players do not see whether an item is identified or not. If they open an unidentified item all they will see is the non-id name and non-id description of the item. Unless of course you don't give the item a non-id name or description in which case they will see 'Unidentified Item'.

    There isn't an easy way to tell whether an item is identified or not since there is no indication from a simple list; you need to open the item to view its status. Add your request to the wish list - link in my signature.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Most extensions are written by young gnomes who wanted the system to behave somewhat differently than it does.
    This could be a good time to discover your inner gnome?

    Didn't someone already make an extension for this? To show the ID/non icon in the inventory list? It was a year or more ago and would probably need to be updated...

    This may be useful for you, Rino, maybe?
