Character Set Up

It doesn't seem like players can add their own avatar or default token?  Why not?  Also, one of my players was goofing off and can't delete his set of opened cards, and because he did it, I can't do it for him.  Please advise?

The GM sets the avatar and default token. Have your players either email or link the image(s) they want to use for the avatar and token.  Could you explain what you mean by "opened cards"?  - Gauss
Correct on the Character Sheet front.  I do wish they'd give Players the ability to add/create their own character sheets, but currently, the GM needs to set it up and then the players can modify things, except for the Avatar and Default token.  I created a template character sheet that I just duplicate and then modify slightly for the players and then give each player direct access to control and modify the character sheet. As the GM, you should be able to recall the cards to the Deck.  Unless you don't want them recalled.  Has the player tried selecting the card (I'm assuming it's on the table top) and then right-clicking it?  A menu pops up and Take Card is the top option.  If he clicks that, it should go back into his hand.
@Gauss, I understand the GM sets it, but my questions is why?  Shouldn't characters have the availability to have that freedom for themselves?

I'm pretty sure players can set their avatar, there's just no "browse" button. Drag an image into the avatar area of the character sheet while editing it. If the campaign was created by someone with a Mentor account, they can also include a script to allow players to create their own characters.
There is no target-box to drag'n'drop an avatar. So if I try to do anyway, the picture will be opened in the browser (worse: same tab). ;) Would be nice, if players could edit their avatar themselves.

Players being able to add their avatar is a bug rather than an intended feature. :) - Gauss

Just tested it in a campaign where I am neither GM nor owner. Edit the character, drag the image to the avatar area, and the avatar appears and is saved. According to Gauss, that's a bug, but it does work -- at least for now.
That bug I wasn't aware of and would've made the character creation I just did with 5 players a bit simpler ha. But either way it's not too big of a deal to have to go through the process on GM side of adding the avatar/token for the player. Would be a nice feature for the player to be able to do though :)
