Must have API that aren't for sheets

So, many of the "must have" threads I've seen have a lot of scripts for sheet utilization.  We use dndbeyond and Beyond20 for sheet stuff.  I'm looking for macros and scripts that will help your average DM manage their game.  I'm a super newbie, so nothing too complicated.  Some cool lighting mods for torches, shapeshifting, and management would be cool.

I also use DnDBeyond and Beyond20 for everything PC character sheet related. I use a ton of scripts and scriptlets (little one-off, single use type things that I've picked up all over the forums).

Here's a long list that I'll just cut-and-paste an update from before. Start with TokenMod... it's the absolute must-have if you only have a single script, and the one that will enable you to turn on/off light sources, switch token faces, etc.  Then I've bolded the ones I think are most useful in a general sense.

A lot of these scripts are not listed as "one-click" but are in fact available in the Script Library.  I just didn't have the link handy for them.  I modified several of the scripts in minor ways -- for example if there is a sendChat() function that has a blank 'speaking as' reference, I usually like to modify that so that the API is named.  

For all of these scripts I have various macros to call them but that would take a lot of time to list all those out.  Also, definitely check out the Stupid Roll20 Tricks thread if you haven't before.

Will be some duplicates with Jarren's list, but here's my standard blurb on api scripts.

Wow, thank you so much for putting the time in to write all that, Jarren.  I really appreciate it.  Thank you as well, David.  :)

I'm going to have to update my standard blurb!  Yours is much easier to read. :)

And thank you for the TableExport spreadsheet string builder link -- I've been meaning to import my personal 'Random Character Generator' list and I keep putting it off. Much easier to just follow a template instead of remembering how to use the concatenate feature!

If anyone is interested: here's a D&D 5th Edition spreadsheet for rolling random race/class/background combinations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQUkVPwcnHpWnZhsMPzW4SVSzi8rOS-h6qpIF3upwPSoET65dOCfBNqLPP5XHVRvBurnUh62oWAizbF/pubhtml

That's a great list. I'll have to start linking to it on threads like this. You might want to note that Token ActionMaker only works for the D&D 5th Edition by Roll20 Sheet.
