Monster Tokens as PC Tokens

[Brambles]

There are several Elf monster tokens that I would like to use as my PC token, but it is not available when I go to use them on the table. Is this a bug? Maybe something that you could add to the table?

My other question: is there a way to use an uploaded image and put on to the map or use as a token?

Thanks for the hard work and the great transfer of campaigns!

I will ask about this on Monday. I see that you can use tokens classified as PCs as Monsters so it might just be an error.

This is also important because of companions and mounts. Without this, Fey Beast Tamers across the web will be crying.

Any update on this Rob?

We were unable to meet today and it looks like Wednesday for our meeting. There may also be some time to make the adjustment.

I think it was done intentionally due to the pricing model.. on average, individual monster tokens don't cost as much Gold to purchase as PC tokens.

Yes we did do this with the belief that PC tokens are more useful on their own, hence the higher price. That being said, I am trying to find some way of us not devaluing the tokens but still allow for the utilization of monsters tokens as PC tokens.

Is there an plans to expand the number of PC tokens. There is a ridiculous number of warforge tokens and not a single Thri-Kreen token.

[RobEng]

Yes we will be expanding the number of hero tokens to avoid needing to use monster tokens for player tokens.

[Gryphyx]

Yes we will be expanding the number of hero tokens to avoid needing to use monster tokens for player tokens.

Please keep mindful of PC companions:

- Mounts
- Ranger Companions
- Druid Wildshape
- Sentinel Companions
- Shaman Companions
- Fey Beast Tamer Companions
- Familiars
- Summons (I guess summons would be going overboard but hey one can aim high!)

It would be great if there were some way the DM could share his tokens with the players at the table. I have been playing this game for 30 years and have always made it a point to make it so my players played at little or no cost. If I needed a monster fig I tended to buy it so as to slowly expand my collection. I'm doing the same with rpgto. Id like to have my own collection of PC tokens that I can assign to my players to use as long as they are on my table.

We are concerned about putting too much financial burden on GMs and want to spread the expense of making PC look cool or accurate on players.

Like Warpig I'm used to taking on that expense for some of my players and would like to have the option to do so as the GM. Maybe it is just my own need to see their characters represented accurately and being willing to pay for it myself...

Another vote here to be able to let my players use any tokens I've bought.

Imagine this in real life: if I buy a plastic mini to use at a face to face game, then anyone at my table can use that mini. Personally I think that it would be awesome if people could share figures/tokens whilst at the table together. i.e. if one of my players owned a cool dwarf figure then any player at the table should be able to use it. That would be sweet - although I appreciate probably not such a great money maker for the developers...

Just like in the old days when I bought packs of 10-20 pcs for my players (and me) to use, id be happy to buy packs of pcs at a cut rate....10 humans for 100 gold. 5 wizards for 60 gold....etc.

One work around I've found is I can gift gold to my players. That only works though when your players only play at your table...
