The Admonition plugin provides additional support for codeblock-style admonitions in addition to callouts.

Import one or more admonition json files in examples/admonitions to create the custom admonition types used for converted content:

• admonitions-5e.json for 5e tools
• admonitions-pf2e.json for pf2e tools
• other-admonitions.json if they are interesting

Use this plugin to treat these generated notes as essentially read-only.

Ensure the plugin has the following options enabled (for the most consistent and least invasive experience):

• "Ignore force view when not in front matter": the plugin will only change the view mode if obsidianUIMode is defined in the front matter.
• "Ignore open files": the plugin won't try to change the view mode if the file is already open.

Fantasy Statblocks maintains a bestiary of monsters. It has its own (handlebars-based) templates for monster statblocks.

To populate Fantasy Statblocks from your notes, use the following settings:

• General Settings:
  • Optional: Disable the 5e SRD
• Note Parsing:
  • Enable Parse Frontmatter for Creatures
  • Optional: Add bestiary folders to constrain where the plugin looks for monsters

You also need to generate content using templates that will populate the bestiary.

The Initiative Tracker plugin for Obsidian allows you to keep track of initiative and turn order during combat encounters in tabletop role-playing games.

• Basic Settings
  • Optional: Embed statblock-link content in the creature view.
    Enable this if you use markdown statblocks and want to see the statblock content in the creature view. statblock-link must be set in the frontmatter.
• Plugin Integrations

  • Optional: Sync monsters from TTRPG Statblocks
    Enable this if you use the Fantasy Statblocks plugin and want to sync monsters from your notes to the Initiative Tracker.

    • See Fantasy Statblocks section for recommended settings.
    • Make sure you're using compatible templates for your monsters.

Notes use lower-kebab-case for filenames. While that works very well for data portability and avoiding filename collisions, it doesn't look very pretty.

Dataview queries can create entries in tables that use the file's alias instead of the filename, like this:

~~~dataview
TABLE without ID link(file.name, aliases) from "compendium/classes"
FLATTEN aliases
~~~
