Replace or transform token?

February 07 (4 years ago)

Is there an elegant way to quickly replace a given token with another one?

The use-case is characters that transform from one form to another.  So, polymorphing druids, etc.

I would like to maintain all of the current properties of a token like vision settings and various status markers but make a visual change.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Probably the easiest would be a rollable table (multi-sided) token.

I've been wanting to know this myself.  On YouTube they talk about tables, but apparently stats don't change.  But say you're DMing as an evil witch NPC and you change a PC into a frog.  You don't want a 3 inch frog to have normal human stats.  So how does one accomplish this in Roll20?  Just wondering... Thanks.

Kenny, you would also have to change the "represents" property of the token to the new character sheet. If the GM has api access, there are various approaches to automate this with at least two different scripts (Token-mod, Wildshape)

Thank you,  David.  You helped me out a lot.
