Token settings

A token's settings by tab: identity, appearance, vision, resources, sounds and rules.

A token's settings are what you configure once and do not touch in the middle of a turn: who controls it, how it looks, what it sees, how many bars it carries and what plays when it acts. They open in a window with six tabs that remembers the last one you used.

Where to find it

Right-click the token and choose More, then "Token settings…". Faster: press E with the token picked, press Settings on its card, or right-click it twice in a row. The six tabs are Identity, Appearance, Vision and light, Resources, Sounds and Rules.

Requirements and permissions

The GM sees every tab. A token's owner sees Identity and Appearance, and Rules only if there is something to anchor to.
With several tokens picked, whatever you change goes to all of them; the notice says how many it reached. The name, the image, HP and the owner stay with each token. The Sounds tab does not show with several picked.
A change to these settings is seen by the whole table at once: the look is shared.

Identity

Field	What it does	Default	Who
Controlled by	Tick whether The GM or one or more players carry it. The first one you tick is the main owner: the camera follows them and they take its turn	Depends on how it was created	The GM
Name	The name on the map (up to 40 letters). It belongs to the token, not the sheet: the same character can be called something else in two scenes	The sheet's or the creature's	The GM and the owner
Image	Set an image uploads an image saved on the token. "Token maker" opens the token maker (frame, framing and background) and "remove" goes back to the original image	The sheet's	The GM and the owner
Sides	An album of up to 12 images of the same token. Press one to put it on; with "+" you save the current one as a side	Empty	The GM and the owner
Image by state	Rules that swap the image by themselves: on a condition (Rage, Frightened…) or on low health (a % or less). The first rule in the list that matches applies; up to 8 rules, with buttons to move them up or down	None	The GM and the owner
Name visible	When the name is drawn under the token: Auto, Always, Hover or Never, and the nameplate colour	Auto on characters; Never on creatures	The GM
HP bar	Who sees a character's health bar: All, Owner or GM	All	The GM
Note	A note on the token, up to 200 letters ("Flees below 5 HP", "has the key")	Empty	The GM
Save as the sheet’s token	Saves this look as the sheet's token: it will apply on new maps	Not saved	The GM and the owner, on characters
Save as default	On a campaign NPC: its next tokens will be born with this ring, light, vision and size. It can be linked to its sheet or carry its own HP	No default	The GM
Apply to all of this actor	Copies these settings (ring, light, vision, auras, bars, size, name and sounds) to the other tokens of the same actor across the campaign, without touching position, HP or conditions. It asks for confirmation	Not applied	The GM and the owner

Appearance

Field	What it does	Default	Who
Ring and frame	Ring colour (ten swatches), frame, disposition (friendly, neutral, hostile or secret) and whether the ring takes its disposition's colour	Red on creatures, blue on characters; the table's frame	The GM
Size (squares)	From half a square to 4×4, or any number you type (up to 40)	1 square	The GM
Presentation	With frame or Image only (the PNG with its transparency, with no ring or background)	The table's	The GM
Facing	Turn 45° either way, a slider in 15-degree steps, how the art turns (Rotates, Fixed portrait or Flips) and "Lock rotation"	Not facing; the art, Fixed portrait	The GM and the owner
Loose art	Draws the whole image with no frame or ring (dragons, props), without losing HP or stat block	Off	The GM
Art (visual)	Scale, thumbnail, mirror, framing and portrait (position and zoom) of the drawing without changing its size in squares; Reset puts it back	Scale 100%	The GM and the owner, with an image set

Vision and light

Vision feeds the fog; the full explanation is in Fog, vision and light.

Field	What it does	Default	Who
Darkvision	How far it sees without light, from 0 to 300 feet on the slider (up to 1000 in the box)	0: it sees what the encounter's light reaches	The GM
Vision cone	Around or a 180, 120, 90 or 60 degree cone; it looks where the token faces	Around	The GM
This token sees	Whether it contributes vision to the fog	Yes	The GM
It clears fog as it moves	Whether it uncovers the map where it passes. Always on for characters	Yes on characters; no on creatures	The GM
Light it carries	No light, candle, torch, lantern or magic light; range, core, intensity, colour, cone and animation to taste	No light	The GM
Extra light	Up to three more lights, each with its own range, colour, intensity and cone	None	The GM
Darkness it carries	Darkness the token carries: range, density and colour	None	The GM
Aura	Coloured rings around the token with range, shape, fill and who sees them	None	The GM

Resources

Here you set health and the extra bars with a single model. Health is the first bar; the others (mana, ammunition, sanity…) carry the name you give them. Each bar has a Shape (Solid, Segmented or Boxes), a Place (bottom, top, left or right), a Number and Who sees it. Press Add bar to create another, up to six in total.

Field	What it does	Default
Shape	The shape of the bar	Solid
Place	Which side of the token it is drawn on	Bottom
Number	When it shows the figure: Never, On its turn, Always or On hover	Health, On its turn; extras, Never
Who sees it	All, Owner or GM	All
Link to a sheet field	With a custom-system sheet, the bar follows a numeric field of the sheet and its maximum	Not linked (by hand)
Label (optional)	The name of an extra bar (16 letters), its colour and its current and maximum value by hand	No label

Sounds

What plays and shows when this actor attacks, casts a spell or heals. Changes apply to all its actions, except those that have something of their own, which show below so you can remove it. They are saved on the token, like the rest of the settings. To carry them to other maps, use "Save as default" or "Save as the sheet’s token" under Identity. The editor is the same one used for each action on the character bar.

Rules

Field	What it does	Default	Who
Transparency	Makes the token more or less see-through, up to 80%, to see what lies beneath	0%	The GM
Elevation (ft)	Height in feet, in steps of 5	0	The GM
Locked on the map	It cannot be dragged around the map	Off	The GM
Experience it launches	An experience launched from the token's menu	None	The GM
You can walk over it	Other tokens pass through it	Off	The GM
Vehicle (whatever stands on it travels with it)	Whatever is dropped on it travels with it; it brings up the hull with its top-down art, its width and length and a 90° turn	Off	The GM
Anchored to	Fixes it to another token or vehicle (a familiar on a shoulder)	Not anchored	The GM and the owner
Container (loot)	Links a loot container to it: Opens from the map, opening On click or On death; see Loot and containers	No container (loot)	The GM

Tip. Before preparing a scene with many tokens of the same monster, make one perfect and use "Apply to all of this actor" or the actor's default: the rest are born already alike.

Common problems

"My player does not see the tab I mean." Players see Identity and Appearance for their own tokens, and nothing else; Vision, Resources and Sounds belong to the GM.

"I changed the image and the token does not show it." If the token is in another creature's form, the sheet sets the art while the form lasts. And if you have set image-by-state rules, the first one that matches wins.

"My token does not clear the fog." Check This token sees and It clears fog as it moves under Vision and light; a token with no vision of its own only sees what a light reaches.

"I changed a setting with several picked and it did not change on all of them." The notice says how many it reached: the name, the image, HP and the owner belong to each token.
