Is there a faster way to create a multi-sided token?

What I mean by this is: say I want to add a transformation to a character (take a cultist that I want to actually turn into a demon).  Right now, even if I'd be perfectly happy taking a cultist and a vrock - which we already have images for in game - the only way I can think of to turn it into a multi-sided token is to: Download the images from the tokens to my computers. Put them into a fresh rollable table. Make a token with that rollable table. Do all the stat and setup-stuff for that token. Link it to the character. Save it as the token for that monster if I want to reuse it. Feel like I wasted 15 minutes of my life for a quick transformation. Surely, I must be missing something, right? Is there a faster way to turn a token into a multi-sided token? Even if I could just take a token on the map and add a second image to it, that would be fantastic. And yes, I know I could just drop a second monster on the map and remove the first, but sometimes I want to do a transforming stat block rather than having to make copies and such.
AFAIK, yes, that's the process. If it only takes you 15 minutes, including downloading, filing, creating the rollable table and linking the token then you're quicker than me!

Hi Red Archon! With Pro, this is much quicker. Go to your mods page and install TokenMod. Make sure that any images you want to add to a token are on the page with the token. Select the base token and run this command: !token-mod --set imgsrc|+@{target|token_id} --ids @{selected|token_id} When prompted, click the image you want to add. There's probably a way to select all at once and do them with one command using a metascript, but this way you can be sure of the order. Save that token as the default token, if that is your intent. For a faster way to switch token faces, look at the Faces script .
That's awesome! I already have TokenMod installed for other reasons, so I just need to run this one script. P.S. Just an fyi, I really appreciate your wonderful YouTube videos for Roll20.

Thanks! I hope to have a really exciting one before too much longer...
Wow! I learned something new today :)  keithcurtis said: Hi Red Archon! With Pro, this is much quicker. Go to your mods page and install TokenMod.
