[Request] - One Character Sheet -> Multiple Token Options

Good day, all. Disguises are a big part of my campaign and several of my players have 3-4 token options for sneaking about, complete with custom art assets they spent a lot of time on. At present, the main way we handle this is by populating a new token and manually attaching it to their character sheet each time they change appearance (a process which is entirely done by me as the GM, is time consuming and game stopping, and often wipes status markers or bars if they aren't remembered properly). Is there a way to use something like a rollable table to be attached to the player's character sheet? Ideally I'd love to be able to have my players (or myself as GM) be able to right click their active token attached to their character sheet and be able to choose from the image range in a rollable table. This would quickly and effectively handle everything from Druid transformations to disguise checks to even player emotes depending on what art assets are available and would an excellent boon for a lot of campaigns. Anyone know if something like this is possible or existant?

Yes, you can use a Rollable table. Create the table with multiple sides, and put the token on the map, then assign that token to the character sheet.
Awesome, that gets me half way there. Can my players also use the random/choose bit if the art asset isnt in their library?

Yes, anyone who can control the token can chose the side that it displays. On the technical side of things, art that is in any user library is accessible by anyone, provided they have a link to it. For example, my Turn Marker script uses art in my own library, which is then used on whomever's VTT uses the script.
I cannot explain how amazing this is after just a few minutes of working with it. I have something like 800 custom tokens produced for this campaign, and everything from making a single male/female NPC character sheet with multiple appearances so all I have to do is rename them to allowing my disguise-a-holic mage to do his thing... You bring joy to this GM's heart. Thanks guys! I wonder why this isn't in the Wiki anywhere with how useful it is.

It's there, it's just really innocuous. Someone who is passionate about it's uses and has lots of ready examples should really add something about it to the wiki.... =D From: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Card_Decks_and_Rollable_Ta</a>... If you have assigned icons to the items in your table, the table can also be used as a token. To do so, click the "Token" button in the list of rollable tables. Each click will generate a token on the table. Right clicking on that token you will see an option for "Multi-Sided." From here you can either select "Random Side" to generate a roll of this token OR select "Choose Side" to have this token show a specific image on the board. Please note that changes to the rollable table are NOT reflected in a token already in the gameplay area. If you edit a rollable table and want those edits to be shown in your tokens, you will need to generate a new token.
