Allow ability tests, saving throws, or skill checks to have some additional custom text associated with them that provides reminders about key circumstances in which the test may be modified.

request: the ability to add notes to abilities and skills etc, so they come up when you roll, similar to the functionality in the Pathfinder 1e sheet in roll20

roll20 pathfinder screenshots as examples:

see reddit thread for more examples where this would be useful:

https://www.reddit.com/r/FoundryVTT/comments/hi7aa7/question_about_attaching_text_to_certain_rolls/

• Aura of Protection attacher for each PC's Saving Throws that reminds them to include the paladin's Cha when within 10 feet.
• Sneak Attack attacher for a rogue's weapon attacks to tell them the conditions of Sneak Attack and the bonus damage. Write different conditions for the mastermind and swashbuckler.
• Mage Slayer attacher for a fighter's weapon attacks to remind GM to roll the evil wizard's Con Check with disadvantage.
• Cunning Intuition attacher for the Elf (Mark of Shadows)'s 1d4 bonus to Stealth and Performance.
• Special feat that gives the fighter a 1d4 bonus to climb checks.

This scenario is ideal for me:

"hey roll me a dex save"

rolls

"oh wait, is this a trap I can see?" <= having been reminded by the "note" beneath the ability check/save

"yep!"

"in that case I have advantage cause of danger sense"

More examples (mocked up inside the html):

I've been wanting this feature in the 5e sheet for such a long time. It's been implemented in Patherfinder 1e, and it saves such a huge amount of hassle for remembering things for both player and GM.

glad you're interested in it! maybe if things cool down at work I can start to take a crack at it myself! :sweat_smile:

Thanks for the suggestion / request. Hopefully someday can support something like this.
