Arrowed's Adversary Bank

An Obsidian.md plugin for Daggerheart TTRPG GMs to search, edit, and create adversary & environment stat blocks with enhanced encounter management.

A fork of BeastVault by Lyova Potyomkin, with additional features for running encounters at the table.

What's New (over BeastVault)

• Adversary Renaming — auto-suffix duplicate names on insert ("Bladed Guard 2", "Bladed Guard 3"), plus double-click any rendered name to rename it inline
• Instance Naming — when running multiple copies of an adversary, each instance gets a label you can click to customize ("Left Chimera", "Wounded One")
• Condition Tracking — toggle Daggerheart conditions (Vulnerable, Restrained, Frightened, etc.) per instance, with support for custom conditions via YAML or the "+" button
• Summon Buttons — features with a summon field get a button that inserts the referenced adversary into the document
• Clickable "Mark a Stress" — the text in feature descriptions becomes an interactive button; for multi-instance adversaries, a picker lets you choose which one takes the stress
• HP/Stress Controls — +, -, and clear buttons on every HP and Stress row for quick adjustments

Original BeastVault Features

All original BeastVault features are fully preserved:

• Search and insert adversaries & environments from the SRD via commands
• Render editable stat blocks with intuitive UI
• Roll dice for attack or damage with one click
• Track marked HP, stress, countdowns and feature uses
• Battle points counted in the status bar
• Customizable colors for any theme
• Works in a canvas for FCG-style encounter building
• Local homebrew library support with folder scanning
• FSB (Fantasy Statblocks) compatibility

Usage

Insert from Library

Insert an adversary via a command: Ctrl+P > Insert adversary from library, or use the side ribbon menu (sword icon).

[!TIP] Bind plugin commands to hotkeys from the Hotkeys settings tab. For example, Alt+A for adversaries and Alt+E for environments.

[!TIP] Click threshold buttons to mark the corresponding amount of HP. Use Alt+Click to clear it instead.

Renaming

• Auto-suffix: Inserting the same adversary twice auto-names them "Bladed Guard" and "Bladed Guard 2"
• Inline rename: Double-click the adversary name on a rendered card to edit it. Press Enter to save, Escape to cancel.
• Instance names: When you have 2+ copies (via the +/- buttons), each instance's stat bar shows a clickable name label. Click to customize it.

Conditions

Below each instance's HP and Stress slots, you'll see condition badges for the 8 standard Daggerheart conditions. Click to toggle.

Custom conditions can be added two ways:

1. In the YAML: add a conditions field with a list of custom condition names
2. At runtime: click the + button on the condition bar, type a name, press Enter

name: Chimera
hp: 9
stress: 5
conditions:
  - Poisoned
  - Burning

Summon Buttons

Add a summon field to any feature to get a button that inserts the named adversary:

features:
- name: Raise Dead
  type: Action
  desc: The Necromancer raises skeletal warriors.
  summon:
    - Skeleton Warrior
    - Skeleton Archer

HP/Stress Controls

Each HP and Stress row has inline buttons:

• - removes one mark
• + adds one mark
• x clears all marks
