The token list & groups

Once a map has more than a dozen pieces on it, hunting for one on the canvas gets old. The Tokens panel is the GM’s list of everything in the scene.

Open it from the GM button on the right-edge dock, then the Tokens tab.

The list

The header shows how many tokens are in the scene, plus a running count when you’ve selected more than one. Clicking a row selects that token on the map; Shift-click, ⌘-click or Ctrl-click adds and removes rows from the selection, and most actions then apply to everything selected.

The row menu

Hover a row for the three-dots button, or right-click the row:

Item	What it does
Link to actor / Relink actor	Attach the token to a character sheet.
Go to sheet	Open the linked character. Greyed out when there’s no link.
Overrides	Per-token adjustments to the linked sheet’s values.
Add to group / Move to group	Put the token in one of your groups. Moving takes it out of any other.
Remove from group	Take it back out.
Rename	Change the display name shown at the table.
Toggle visibility	Hide the token from the map, or bring it back.
Toggle vision	Turn the token’s own sight on or off.
Reset position (0,0)	Yanks a token back to the map’s origin square.
Delete	Removes the token from the scene.

Tip

Reset position (0,0) is the rescue for a token dropped somewhere off the map that you can no longer find. Pull it home, then drag it where it belongs.

Groups

Groups are folders for tokens: the six goblins, the caravan guards, the crowd in the market.

1. Click Group in the panel header.
2. Type a name when prompted.
3. Use Add to group on each token’s row menu — or select several rows first and add them in one go.

A group appears as a collapsible header above its members. Clicking the header selects the whole group at once.

The group menu

The three-dots button on a group header gives you:

• Rename — change the group’s name.
• Share initiative — a tick box, described below.
• Delete group — removes the folder. The tokens themselves stay in the scene.

Share initiative

Tick Share initiative and the group rolls one initiative for all its members. Six goblins take one slot in the turn order instead of six, and they all act together.

It’s the single biggest time saver for a crowded encounter. See Managing combatants for how the shared slot behaves once combat is running.
