Token builder

Composing a token: portrait, frame, shape, layers, overflow, effect and 3D miniature, separate from the character portrait.

The token is the piece that moves across the map. In the builder you compose the one for a character, an NPC or a creature: its portrait (framed), its frame, its shape, layers and overflow (letting the drawing break out of the circle), an effect and a 3D miniature. The token is separate from the portrait: changing one does not change the other.

Where it is

In the Workshop, Tokens column, with Create; also with Ctrl K ("Token maker"). From a World NPC, a sheet of your own or a creature it opens beside what you are editing, in a side panel (on a narrow screen, in a sheet).

Requirements and permissions

An account with a session. Custom frames and custom effects are for Legend GMs; the built-in frames and the house effects are for everyone.

Step by step

1. In Portrait choose the image: Use the sheet portrait, an upload or an address. Zoom, Rotation and Center frame it; the Background can be Color or Gradient.
2. In Frame you choose the Frames (plain rings, textured ones like iron, bronze or gold, or class ones), its colour and, with Legend, My frames.
3. In Shape: Circle or Free (no frame, cut to the drawing).
4. In Layers you add images Above or Below the portrait.
5. In Overflow you paint with the Overflow tool whatever sticks out of the frame (or leave the Automatic overflow); Eraser erases it.
6. In Effect you set an effect Behind or In front; in 3D miniature, a .glb miniature for the 3D view.
7. See On the map how it looks at its size and press Save.

Options

Download image saves the token image and Remove the token leaves it as it was.

Common problems

"The image address is not valid." It has to start with http.

"My custom frame does not show." Custom frames are for Legend GMs; on another plan they stay unused.
