Turn order creature name visibility

Is there any way to disable this? Soon as inititiave is rolled, players can see token names. I know I can put tokens on the GM layer, but i dont want to do that. I want people to see the tokens, but not the name of the creature, to prevent meta-game info. Do I need to rename all my tokens to "Creature X" to prevent this?

If you have set the tokens to have a nameplate, you can just turn off the checkbox for it labeled "See" in the character panel, which will make it invisible to players. This works for bars too.

By default players cannot see the name of the creature. You have to enable players to see the name. That includes in the turn order. To enable players to see the name you must edit the token's settings, checkmark the "show nameplate" box, click on the advanced tab, and checkmark the "see" box next to name. Note: a player in control of a token will already be able to see the name in the turn order if "edit" is checkmarked. You will still have to checkmark the "show nameplate" box for the name to show up on the token.

Ah my bad, I had control assigned to myself when i switched to "player mode", which was allowing me to see the name. I find it very hard to know what is view able, and not without having a second account to log in as a true player. I suppose these are not big deals once you understand the system and associations, but as a new user it makes it rough.

GMs should not assign themselves control of a token. There is no need for that unless they want control while in player mode.

Name them all "Bob"

al e. said: Name them all "Bob" Something that conveys their true majesty and power. Something that reminds us just how far removed they are from humanity. Let's go with "Bob."
