Use Foundry?
No? Well, you should! Foundry is a modernized, better-than replacement for Roll20, which prioritizes modding support. It is the 5etools platform of choice for VTT integrations.
To install the Plutonium module, and start using all of 5etools' content in your game, paste the manifest URL[current/v12/v11] into your Foundry server's module installer. See the Plutonium Features page for an overview of the functionality the module provides.
You can also install the Rivet browser extension (Chrome/Firefox) to import content from the site with a single click.
Use Roll20?
Install Roll20 Enhancement Suite and Tampermonkey (Chrome/Firefox), and get the betteR20 script using this link.
Check the wiki for an installation guide, and for information on how to use the script.
