5e Scripts

I run several 5e games, but only use the initiative highlighter and bloodied scripts.  With there being so many scripts out there, what are people's favorites so I can check them out to add to my games?  Thanks in advance.

There aren't many 5e-specific scripts. Definitely install the companion script for whatever sheet you use. As for general scripts that can improve any game, there are quite a few threads like this already.
Ok.  I guess than what would be the better scripts to use.

For my 5E games, I use the companion script for OGL sheet, a torch script that may be the general torch script, I dunno. Someone shared it with me long ago. I use a version of a jukebox player that I've modified over time. I also use turnclock, to prompt players to speed it up. Mostly as a joke though. The ones I've made that seem to have the most utility are: Druid Shift:&nbsp; <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/0fb83ccd7d1039851" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/0fb83ccd7d1039851</a>... It takes a bit of setup, but your druid may love it. I also add sound effects token actions to the druid forms for more shifting fun.

ShowHealth:&nbsp; <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/374ccd15140c587ab" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/374ccd15140c587ab</a>... You just push a macro and all the tokens on screen show their health bars to the players. Not bad for when the players bug you about how hurt the guy is. NoWhisper: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/d900ede441a504501" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/d900ede441a504501</a>... For some reason, when I was using the general game settings to make NPCs not whisper their abilities, they did it anyways. Hitting the macro for this will turn off their whispers. Maybe it does other bad stuff though, I didn't test it much. 10To5: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/8adfd09b7665ea770" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/8adfd09b7665ea770</a>... A lot of maps come with 10 foot squares, and shrunken grid size, which I don't prefer. This script is a crummy version, which is not very general. A lot of help from Aaron on this one (and several others). Beware: there's no undo function. Maybe you transmog the page to another game, mess with it there, move it back. Faces: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/a74a4af2f62138395" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/a74a4af2f62138395</a>... I haven't really used this much yet. It could be a fun player utility, for people who like to change outfits, or use disguise kits. Fancy clothes, travel clothes, plate armor. It's not very careful though, if they have multiple tokens selected... If you play Dragonlance, this is ok.. I should shrink the image size though: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/a910903e96fdc25ee" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/a910903e96fdc25ee</a>... This post details more about it (and links to needed images):&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5465506/how-to-d" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5465506/how-to-d</a>...
Thanks Bast.&nbsp; Do you have a link for the jukebox player?
TBH, you'd probably be better off using the roll20AM script from the dropdown select. I only stuck with this one out of momentum, but here it is: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/746e9d3b3139fc613" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Bastlifa/746e9d3b3139fc613</a>... Also, you'll need to remove/add whatever tracks you want to it. This is just how mine is set up.

If you do go with Roll20AM,&nbsp; here is a thread where I describe how to set up a chat-based soundboard using macros in a roll template.
Thanks.
