Token settings

Everything about a single piece is reachable two ways: a quick right-click menu on the map, and a full settings panel for the fiddly bits.

The right-click menu

Right-click a token (or press and hold it on a touch screen) and a menu opens at your cursor:

Option	What it does
Open Sheet	Opens the linked character’s sheet. Only appears when the token is linked to an actor.
Add Condition	Sub-menu of the common conditions — pick one to apply it, pick a ticked one to clear it. GM only.
Size	Sub-menu: 0.5×0.5, 1×1, 2×2, 3×3, 4×4. The current size is ticked.
Move Mode	Sub-menu: Bounce, Smooth, Teleport, Direct. The current one is ticked.
Vision	Sub-menu: Radius, Type (toggles between Cone and Sphere), Darkvision (toggles on and off).
Delete Token	Removes the token from the scene. GM only.
Settings	Opens the full panel below.

What you see depends on your role

Players get this menu on tokens they control (Open Sheet, Size, Move Mode, Vision, Settings). On a token they don’t control it offers Open Sheet only. Add Condition and Delete Token are the GM’s.

The Token Settings panel

Settings slides a Token Settings panel in from the left. At the top is the token’s picture with a Change Image button; below it:

Size

Five buttons, 0.5×0.5 through 4×4, in grid squares.

Move Mode

Bounce, Smooth, Teleport or Direct — see Moving & selecting tokens.

Vision

• Radius — how far the token can see.
• Type — Sphere (all round) or Cone (a facing).
• Darkvision — lets the token see in unlit areas.
• Edge softness — 0 gives a hard rim on the vision sphere and its fog reveal, 1 a full radial fade.
• Detection modes — extra senses such as blindsight, tremorsense and truesight, each with its own Range. See Detection modes.

Behaviour

Switch	What it does
Constrained by Walls	Stops the token moving through walls.
Graphic Rotation	When off, the picture stays upright but the vision still turns.
Invisible	Hidden from players without blindsight, tremorsense, truesight or see-invisibility in range. The GM and anyone controlling the token always see it.
Illusion	Marks the token as illusory. Players with truesight see a faint indicator; everyone else sees it as if real.

Aura

Ring the token so the whole table can see a zone it carries.

• Show Aura Ring turns it on and off.
• Radius sets how far the zone reaches, in feet, from 5 up to 60.
• Color is yours to pick — give the paladin’s aura and the cleric’s Spirit Guardians different colours and nobody has to ask which is which.

On a square grid the aura draws as a soft ring; on a hex grid it outlines the hexes it actually covers, because on hexes that’s what “20 feet” means.

Signage, not rules

An aura you draw here applies no effects. It’s a sign painted on the floor. Auras that actually do something — damage on entry, a saving-throw bonus — come from the card that granted them, and those already draw their own ring in the colour the card chose.

Everyone at the table sees the ring, except when the aura came from a GM-only condition or sits on a token that player can’t see. Anyone can hide every aura on their own screen with Show Aura Zones in Tabletop settings.

Highlight

The Shape of the selection ring — Circle or Square — and its Glow Color.

Linked Character

Pick which of the room’s characters this token represents, or None (GM only). See Who can move which token.

Controlled By

Tick individual players to hand them control of this token as well — useful for shared summons and familiars.

At the bottom sits Delete Token.

Note

There is no per-token elevation control. If you’re looking for a way to put one creature on the balcony, that’s map elevation, not token elevation — see Height & 2.5D, which raises regions of the map itself.
