Markdown Sheet Exporter

A Foundry VTT module that allows GM and players to export D&D 5e/5.5 character and NPC sheets as structured, beautifully-formatted Markdown files. The exported files are tailored for compatibility with tools like Obsidian, NotebookLM, and Archivist.AI.

• PC and NPC Support: Tailored exports for both Player Characters (focusing on class levels, inventory, feats, and spell lists) and NPCs (focusing on challenge rating, legendary actions, traits, actions, and reactions).
• YAML Frontmatter: Basic stats, attributes, speeds, and abilities are formatted as a YAML block at the top of the file for quick parsing by markdown vaults or metadata plugins.
• Rich Markdown Formatting: Automatically parses description HTML from items, features, and spells into clean Markdown (retaining bolding, italics, list structures, tables, and blockquotes).
• Multiclassing Support: Accurately extracts and lists multiple classes along with their levels and subclass associations.
• Spellbook Formatting: Groups spells by level, showing slots, casting times, ranges, components, and durations.

• Foundry VTT: Versions 13 & 14
• Game System: D&D 5e (System Versions 4.x and 5.x, supporting the D&D 2024 / 5.5 ruleset)

At current this has only been used with the D&D 5e system, but I do plan to look into adding other game systems in the future.
