Tokens
Placing and moving tokens, the token controls box, hit points, Effects, targeting and hidden tokens.
First draft. This manual is a first draft. The table is still growing, so a control may move or change. If something here does not match what you see, the table is right and the manual is behind.
Getting a token onto the map
- Persona: open the Personas tab and press Place beside your Persona. Its Vitality stays linked to its token.
- Foe (Game Master): open the Foes tab and press Place. Press Place all to put down a saved encounter.
- Prop: open the Props tab and click a prop to place it.
- Copy: select a token, and press Copy in its controls.
Selecting and moving
Use the Select tool (V). See the Tools chapter for clicking, dragging, nudging and targeting. Players can move only the tokens they control. The Game Master can move any token.
The token controls box
Select a token and a box of controls appears. The Game Master sees all of it. A player sees what applies to tokens they control.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Name | The token's name. A trailing number (Street Thug 2) is added for copies. |
| Hit points and Max | Current and maximum Vitality, with -5, -1, +1 and +5 buttons. |
| Size | How many squares across the token is. |
| Sees | How far the token sees, in squares. 0 means no sight of its own. |
| Vision mode | Normal, Darkvision, Blindsight or Infrared. The Game Master can override it. |
| Disposition | Friendly, Neutral or Hostile. It changes the token's ring colour. |
| Controlled by | Which player can move the token (Game Master only). |
| Target | Marks the token as your target. Everyone sees it. |
| Art | Upload a picture for the token. |
| Token colour | The colour of the token's ring or fill. |
| Visible / Hidden | Hidden tokens are never sent to players at all (Game Master only). |
| Combat | Adds the token to the combat order. |
| Copy | Makes another token like this one. |
| Remove | Deletes the token. |
Tip. A Persona token's Vitality and its sheet stay in step: change one and the other follows.
Effects on a token
The token controls list all 24 Effects. Tick one to put it on the token. Stacking Effects have plus and minus buttons for charges, and a question mark button opens the Effect card. A token shows up to three Effect circles with their charge counts, and a +N when there are more.
Foe attacks
When the Game Master selects a Foe token, its attacks appear in the controls. Each has an attack roll and a damage roll, both sent to the chat. A token is matched to its Foe by its name without the trailing number, so renaming a token can break the link.
