    Walkabout Extensions SR uses (All 5E only for me)

    As I constantly always tell the unwashed masses of users to READ the extension .txt files and forum threads and/or watch the outdated videos...

    And I still get asked questions, I decided to put together an overview of extensions I use and what they do for me (obviously not everything nor do I provide any real details). And of course the info is protected by a MASSIVE TEXT WALL to keep the unworthy OUT.

    Supports look up matches to custom effects and powers for abilities (Feats, Features, and Traits) for a PC and (traits, actions) for an NPC/Vehicle when sheet is dropped in CT or fields are modified.
    Supports 5EAE modules naming specifications to provide fuller name matching abilities

    Support same initiative for carried CT entries as their carrier (optional).

    5E Combat Groups (CombatGroups.ext)
    Supports making CT entries members of named groups where their visibility can be turned off and on so that sessions can be planned out with many things in many maps but only one set of combat groups visible at any time.
    Supports filtering CT on client to same faction only and/or same combat group and/or owner CT entries so that DM does not have to track what is seen or not seen on map through LOS of invisibility as they will only be able to target things from map in most cases.
    Support underlay on token for Highlighting token for Old Eyes (on turn).
    Support common initiative rolls for same combat groups (optional).

    Supports setting token visibility when invisible effect added or removed from CT.
    Supports preserving invisible token settings on startup.

    5E Assistant GM (AssistantGM.ext)
    When dropping CT entry onto player portrait gives FULL ownership to player and allows the client CT to show the same NPC/Vehicle attacks, etc. things that a host can do on their CT entries.
    When CT map token is double clicked it will insure the CT scrolls to a point in window that is showing the CT entry.
    Support a player having ability to take ownership or release ownership of any NPC/Vehicle visible in their CT (exception being things set owner from host via drag drop onto player portrait - those can only be cleared by host dragging CT entry link onto Assistant GM Clear button at top of CT).

    Extensions that are not mine but that I use:
    Aura Effects
    Used with 5EAE modules I use and also with generic actions layers NPC placement. Allows effects to be applied over and area from a token.
    Better Combat Effects Gold
    Used with 5EAE modules I use and also with generic actions layers NPC placement. Allows much more powerful and flexible effects to be applied.
    Effective Initiative
    Keeps initiatives correct when re-rolling initiatives every round (no clairvoyant player cheating predicting future at my tables)
    Natural Selection
    Lets me easily select, target, or move overlapping tokens.
    Sounds - VLC
    Free sound stuff, though a pain to setup (discord bot, VLC 2.0, Kenku FM) once it is I never have to deal with it again - just works.
