Mysterious Extra Token Actions

I apologize if this is something incredibly simple that I've overlooked, but I've been wracking my brain for weeks while trying to search roll20 for some insight. When I select my token, I have four token actions that I did not create in addition to all the other token actions that I did create.  They're labeled "fortsave" "willsave" "reflexsave" and "initiative" and I have no idea what's creating them or how to get rid of them.  I assumed they were linked to my character sheet because when it's blank the rolls are unmodified (though several "+0" entries are listed in the output); however, the "initiative" macro is actually displaying the exact results of my "Initiative" macro that I made in my character handout (to include the emote I have in it) which is just weird. What am I missing?  I have no macros under the settings tab and these token actions aren't on my character handout under attributes & abilities.

Which character sheet are you using?  They could be set up by the character sheet; I know the D&D3.5 character sheet has initiative as a built-in token action. Alternately, if you are not the GM, they could be something that the GM set up through his macros on the settings tab. Hope that helps.
Token actions that you didn't create, and are unable to edit,  are those created and assigned by your GM to all players.

I tried looking in another campaign that I'm the GM of and I can't find any options with regard to token actions that are on all tokens.  Where can a GM find this feature and how can they add-to or disable it?

This would require making a custom character sheet, which requires the game's creator to have a Pro level subscription. an STD said: I tried looking in another campaign that I'm the GM of and I can't find any options with regard to token actions that are on all tokens.  Where can a GM find this feature and how can they add-to or disable it? Two places: When creating a macro under Settings, there is a "Show as Token Action?" checkbox in the Edit Macro window. Then select the appropriate players from the Visible to Players dropdown list. The Token Action will show when the selected player(s) select character(s) on the VTT they control. Alternately, for characters in your Journal, under the Attributes & Abilities tab. When you can manually create an Ability, there is also a "Show as Token Action" checkbox. This Token Action will only show when that character is selected on the VTT, though.

It is a bit tricksy, yes. The option hides in plain sight. When you create a macro via the settings tab you're presented with this window: What a lot of people miss is the scrollbar on the right side (heck, I missed it too, for awhile!) If you scroll down, you get some new options: This is how a GM can make macros that attach to player tokens and appear in player sidebars.

Much appreciated; I'll have our GM check to see if he's got any macros made and if they've been made available to all players.

So the Pathfinder character sheet has inherent token actions that cannot be removed?  I guess that's a miner annoyance to have to deal with for having access to a character sheet at all.

I'm currently doing this for all of the token actions I've created and I can discern between those actions that I've created and the actions that are stuck to the token.  Thanks for all the information though.
