Activity Type Utility - foundryvtt/dnd5e GitHub Wiki

Up to date as of 4.0.0

The Utility activity allows for rolling an arbitrary formula, adding effects, or simply indicating something occurs without specific functionality. It acts as a catch-all activity for any case where a more specific activity doesn’t make sense.

Configuring Utility

After creating the Utility activity the configuration sheet will open to the "Identity" tab. In addition to the standard activity identity options (see the Activities Overview for more details), Utility also includes a Utility Roll Prompt option. This controls whether the rolling dialog is shown when rolling the utility roll (if present).
