No one wants shuffling and looking through character *sheets* to get in the way of actually *roleplaying* the characters. And no amount of automation is going to fix *that*. Today, we're looking at one of the absolute best ways to keep important character information at yours and your players' fingertips, make your combats snappier, and improve your overall quality of life in Foundry Virtual Tabletop: token HUDs.
Knowledge is power *and speed* in ttrpgs. The easier it is for you or your players to find what options are available, and which of those you want to use, the faster and more engaging your sessions are. Token HUDs come in a variety of options to keep things like ability checks, inventory items, character features, and spells easily accessible while being incredibly unobtrusive. Today we cover four different token HUDs that deliver on this promise in spades. Whether you're already using a HUD, or you're just now considering one, this video is for you!
