Token description, additional/customizable "bars" and "GM`s ruler"

Well, at first, I would like to say THANK YOU for creators of "Roll20". It is really awesome gaming resourse. However, there are a few minor suggestions, that could come in handy, I think. 1) Token description, visible to the players. So, the token should have 2 fields. One visible (and selectively editable) for players, and one - "GM only". Much the same like in character sheet. 2) I`m currently running sci-fi "mecha" campaign, and found that 3 bars are not enough for ease of use. 1- "health" 2- "fuel"... But I need few more for ammo count for several weapons, etc. So, the main idea is to add customizable "numeric" fields that would hold inputted numbers, much like "health bars", but will display them only in numeric mode (no bar). It would be best, if those fields will be addable as needed. 3) Some times, you have to measure the distance to the "invisible" object, that is on "GM`s Layer". Problem is - the ruler is allways visible for the players and gives away the location of hidden unit. Is there a way to make ruler for "GM only", while working on "GM`s layer"?
invis ruler with the GM layer selected would be awesome
1) Token description, visible to the players. So, the token should have 2 fields. One visible (and selectively editable) for players, and one - "GM only". Much the same like in character sheet. THIS! For a long time I've been using transparent .pngs to put GM info and box text as tooltips in MapTool. The simple ability to have Player or GM text pop up over objects is /invaluable/, especially for running modules.
It would be nice to have some type of character sheet integration but that is a very large undertaking, I think these improvements to the token elements would make running and playing the game run a lot smoother. No more asking 'Which bar is AC again? The red squiggle?' The number of elements should be editable for tokens. The name of each element. So instead of bar1, bar2 you could name them things like 'HP', 'AC', 'Mana'. The type of the element. Things like 'Status Bar', 'Single Number' and the ability to set the image associated with the circle layover. And also the visibility and who has the ability to edit each element: Visible On: Token Layer [] Mouse Over [] Edit View [] Visible By: GM [] Owner [] Everyone [] Editable By: GM [] Owner [] Everyone []
