Token Bar (hp/ac/etc) Hidden by Fog of War/Line of Sight

August 18 (4 years ago)

Edited August 19 (4 years ago)

How difficult would it be for the devs to fix it so that token bars, PCs specifically, are visible even when line of sight/fog of war partially covers the token? It's a pain to keep asking my party members how their hp looks just because the field of vision is blocking the bar. The water elemental is the only enemy on this map, for reference.

Thoughts? Has this been suggested before?

Listen, if you post this on the suggestions forum and suggest that visibility of the bars and nameplates are based on where the center of the token is, I will give you all the upvotes I am permitted to. (That's one -- sorry.)

I find myself shortening names of enemies out of fear that their name will be visible to players in another room because it runs over dynamic lighting lines.

Annoying, but a couple of things that could help are going to the advanced tab of the token properties window and setting Bar Location to bottom overlapping and/or Bar Style to Compact.

This is exactly why I use compact bars top overlapping.
