Pre-requisites and recommendations

There are no other requirements for using DDB Importer.

That said, I would recommend the following modules for the best support:

• Magic Items for attaching spells to magic items
• DAE for improving some bonus effect management
• DFreds Convenient Effects to help with effect management
• Vision/Detection Modes 5e adds those lovely missing vision modes for 5e.
• Arbron’s Summoning will allow the creation and use of summoned actors for spells and features in Tasha's

If you want to add spell effects, and high levels of automation you will need, (this is not recommended if you're using Foundry for the first time):

• DAE for skill bonuses and basic effects
• Midi-QOL
• About Time
• Times Up.
• DFreds Convenient Effects

Several macros that impact tokens rely on:

• Active Auras
• Active Token Effects

For super high automation (this is not recommended if you're using Foundry for the first time):

• Chris's Premades includes a lot of more advanced automation and effects.

For prettiness add:

• Token Magic FX.
• Automated Animations
