Multi-Sided token

Greetings, I would like to ask if there is possibility to make multi-sided token in that way that one of the sides will be medium sized creature and other large. Thanks for any advice

I don’t believe there is without a pro subscription for API. I use multi-sided tokens a LOT in my campaign though so what I do is I have the size of the token the same, i.e. 140px x 140px but have the medium creature only take up the normal 70px x 70px of that with a lot of empty ‘padding’ in the rest of the space. If you look at my tokens on the marketplace, I typically don’t center them either so they are usually in the bottom corner so when they are medium sized they only look like they’re occupyimg a single square. If you sign up for Pro and can use API? TheAaron’s TokenMod script does allow you to resize a token and Keith posted something a while back where he had a multi-sided token for spells (fireball, lightning bolt, etc.) and he used TokenMod to change the dimensions of the token, but I had already started using my method by then and I didn’t want to go back and resize my art, lol. This would achieve what you’re looking for though.

Thanks for both ideas :)
What I tend to do, is turn on a dark aura around the token that takes up the larger space, and position it with the ALT key so it lines up on the grid.  No API needed, and good enough for many situations.

Depends on which game you’re playing. If you’re asking about AD&D tokens, simply create a token which takes up approximately one quarter of a square to represent a small creature, and create a token which takes up an entire square to represent a large creature. Then, put the two tokens into a rollable table, and follow the normal instructions for creating a multi sided token. If the large creature walks upright like most humanoids, no stretching is required unless it’s a giant.    If the large creature is a giant, stretch the token width wise by one square when in this form.  If the large creature walks on all fours like a horse, stretch the token lengthwise by one square when taking this form.
