Multifaced Tokens - AKA Morphing Tokens/Tokens with more than one image.

One thing that Roll20 could really use is some sort of way to create a multifaced token. By that I mean a token that is capable of storing multiple images within it that can be cycled through by the owner of the token. Why is this useful? Well, have you ever been in a game with some sort of shape changing character? Whenever it happens, players seem to almost always forget what form the character is currently in and it leads to RP and game-play mistakes. While you can mark the token, or ask the player, I think both end up breaking the immersion when you have to stop constantly and ask, "So what does this dot mean, or what form are you currently in?" My solution would be to make tokens have a configurable option that would allow the owner to cycle between the different token forms. When a token is initially created, additional images could be attached to it to represent the different faces it has via an upload form. The cycle button could be clickable from within the stat editing menu of a token. Let me know what you guys think and feel free to suggest additions to it.
You can already do something along these lines using Rollable Tables...make each token into a Rollable Table and then you can change sides by right-clicking and selecting "choose side" or something like this. +1 to the suggestion that you can define tokens/images to have multiple sides beyond the Rollable Tables though.

To expand upon what Dave is saying: 1) Create a Rollable table with each table "item" having one of the images you would put in a multifaced token. 2) In the Settings tab click: "Token" to turn the table into a token. 3) Right click on the token go to "Advanced" and deselect the "Is Drawing" setting. 4) Set up the token fields, connect it to a character sheet, etc. normally. - Gauss
Thank you for informing me of that functionality, I will definitely make use of it. Though I do think it might be beneficial to implement such a more user friendly suggestion if it wouldn't be to time consuming.
+1 for adding multiple face functionality to all tokens, as an ease of use update while keeping the functionality of rollable tables.
