Multiple easily changeable tokens per charachter.

I believe I speak for many Game Masters when I say that immersion is a priority when working on a campaign. My idea is to provide characters with multiple tokens that are unique to them, such as a sword drawn, prone/dead, or casting a spell. I believe this concept could greatly assist new players who may struggle with the imaginative aspect of the game.     Here's a vague idea of what it could look like: When you click on the token, a button or macro button could appear, presenting a menu of tokens from which you can select and change your current token. Naturally, the DM would have control over these options, unless a player was given permission to add their own tokens.     Expanding on this idea, if it gained traction, it could be taken to a larger scale, where you can bulk change the tokens for multiple characters to a preset selection. I understand that this could potentially be achieved  in a simpler form  using the GM layer, but since the goal is immersion, I am concerned that the time gap in switching tokens might break some of the magic. -IRRELEVANT RANT ALERT!-     I want to clarify that I am not trying to bad-mouth Roll20 in any way—I actually love this website. However, I have noticed that breaking immersion is a common issue while using the platform, even with a subscription. Nevertheless, I do not wish to undermine the incredible progress the Roll20 team has made over the years, and the invaluable gift of a Virtual Tabletop they have provided us❤️. Sorry for mixing a rant with my suggestion, just thought feedback is feedback. Thank you Roll20, and keep up the amazing work!!

Hi Rizzli,  This is already a feature of Roll20, has been for many years.  To do this create a Rollable Table with the images you'd like. Then turn it into a token and assign that token to the character as with any other token.  Finally, you can right click on the token and change the desired image.  As for changing multiple tokens at once, I believe that is also possible with a Mod (API Script), a Pro feature. But you'd have to check with the Mod (API script) gurus to verify.
