I love the idea of giving my players a hooded lantern and then rear-ambush them... Problem is that when you use a top-down token with limited light, the token's light always points north, while nearly all the tokens themselves face south, meaning the light (and their eyes) shine out behind them. Also, I like to use framed-picture style tokens and those just never look right when pointed anywhere but up. Having said all that, I have a couple of images which demonstrate the issue, and a proposed solution by photoshopping in a pair of controls in the Edit Token window.
