Allow Multiple Icons for Characters

There are any number of systems that have characters with multiple forms (White Wolf, D&D to name a few), etc.  I normally keep multiple images on hand for my character (at home, adventuring, around town, fancy occasion; face-changing) and switching icons takes time.  As a DM, it's also useful just as a marker for PC status to keep little "surprises" from popping up ("What do you mean you came to the royal ball with your demon armor and bleeding sword?").

The way you can solve this is to simply create a macro. I had a player that was a Tiefling warlock that was a spy and therefor used Disguise Self all the time. I simply created a macro for that token so you can change at will. You create it like this. 1. Go to the Macro Collections. 2. Go down to Rollable Tables and create a new table 3. Rename it so you know what table it is. 4. Open up the table and press the +Add Item. Upload a token to that item and simply repeat the process until you have a list of all tokens you want. 5. When you are done with creating the table, exist the table and find it back in the Macro Collections. There you can press token or roll. If you Press Roll it will simply role a random token and display it in the chat. If you press token however it will put a token of the table on the current battlemap. That token will work just like any token will, with the difference that you can right click on it and see the new option "Multi-Sided" on it. On the Multi-sided option you can choose Random Side, or Choose Side. If you press random will just pick a random token in the Rollable Table. If you pick Choose you can pick which token in the list you want. 6. Use the token created as the player token on their character sheet. If you have enough tokens and maybe some artist skills. You can create whatever token for the players you want. Want them to turn into a dog, you can do it. Want them to be in full armor and in the next naked or in a nice suit, you can do it. It is more a matter of how many tokens you can find that suit the character. It is strange to go to a royal ball in full armor yes, but it is even more strange for a Gnome to turn into a Giant because you was unable to find the correct token for it. I hope that helped.

There are 2 good ways to go about this, Rollable Tables to create a Multi-Sided Token --- the way that Cloud Seeker told. Or, also, Roll20 will let you assign multiple tokens (as many as you want) that Represents Character.  In this method you'd keep the extra forms stored on the side/margins of the Map Page, or held on a Splash Page, Roster Page, for copy-and-paste when needed.
