Token Nameplat GM visible only

Could we get an option to have Token Nameplates visible to GMs only? If you have a few tokens that look the same (for a similar type of enemy), but have slight differences (one is carrying a shotgun, 2 with rifles, 3 with pistols, etc.) it makes it easier to have some type of identifying descriptor in the nameplate. Problem is I don't necessarily want my players to see the descriptor. Thanks!
+1. Great Idea.
+1. Sounds like a useful thing to have.
Either that or have the ability to have token descriptor along with nameplate because the only problem I see is with Combat... You have to set permission for a player to be able to see the nameplate anyway. but no matter what the nameplate appears in the initiative tracker. so if you could add another GM only addition that would be nice. Like if you want to just name the monsters as numbers (So the players don't know) but then have a GM only note of the monster name - something like that.

Currently the Token Nameplate is GM only if you do not checkmark 'See' in the token settings.  Unfortunately, Tanice D. is correct that the name still appears in the initiative tracker. I will check with the Devs to see if this is intended behavior or not.  - Gauss
+1 and especially the "problem" with initiative is a bummer.
You can always code names: A stands for shotguns B stants for rifle Or use aura eg: red = shotgun, blue rifle but names in Initiative when they are hidden is rly pain in the a$$

I like Krzysiek's idea of aura colors. You can set auras so that only you see them. You can set them so they just color the token (very small radius, like a 0 radius). Nice thinking Krzysiek. - Gauss
