Token to Text Macro

When I am creating things in the game sometimes I want to be able to have a token have a macro attached to it. Say if I have a big bad troll, and he has this long drawn out description or threat to the players, I would love to be able to just hit a button attached to the Token that sends text directly to the chat. Another example would be traps and locked doors. Sometimes a player will set a trap off, and it would be nice to have a button to click to display the trap to the players for damage and DC saves and a description of the type of trap. Not all rogues look for traps!!!! Sometimes they set them off. Perhaps there is a way to do this already if so I would like to know how. Just a thought!

Any token that has a character sheet can have abilities set as token actions. when you select the token, all the abilities setup as token actions are displayed in a bar across the top of the screen.

Interesting, I was thinking that it is locked to active players not the character sheet. I will look into that.

That was a great Idea, now I am creating using the new folder options a folder with nothing but traps. I label them with Trap and there CR, and have a macro token pop up for each one with a whisper to the GM the trap details. Very Nice option, thanks again.
