Random character choice

Is there any way to choose one of the characters at random?

In what sense? Have an API that gives you a random currently visible playing character in the page you are in? Create a random character for you and set up a character sheet and randomized token? Take an assortment of pre-generated characters and assign them to players at random?

If you mean choose a random token, there is the token-fate api script, available on one-click. Select you tokens to choose from and run a command, the random token name is spit out to the chat. However, this would require a Pro subscription, as would any api solution.  
nope - in the game,  we have 5 players and the GM.  The GM needed to choose someone at random.  It would be nice to run a macro that chose one of the palyers rather than rolling a d10 and halving then copunting across the players icons

If all the player tokens are selected when you run token-fate , it will do what you are asking. However, if it's always a random choice from among all 5 players, the easiest solution would probably be to make a rollable table with an entry for each player, then create a macro to roll it via [[1t[TableName]]]

Just roll 1d5 next time :) Or a 1d7367, or whatever... presumably an imp locked in the quantum server has to figure out how to build the thing, then rolls it, then dismantles it. David's suggestion is better, and will look much nicer... just thought I'd point that out.
