Feature Request: Add option to display token artwork instead of character artwork in chat messages #3077

Open nschoenwald opened 8 months ago

nschoenwald commented 8 months ago

Currently, the character artwork is always used in chat messages. That makes certain scenarios very challenging. To be more specific, I have an adventure where scarecrows are disguised as humans. I have one scarecrow actor and different token images for their human appearance. When I roll something with the disguised scarecrows, it always shows the scarecrow in the chat message. This extends to other scenarios. Even having one "commoner" actor with different token images for NPCs, the chat messages will always show the one character artwork set on the commoner actor. Having the option to show token artwork instead of character artwork would solve all of this.

Is this something new with DND5E 3.x? I am on 2.4.1 and I don't see character pictures in chat messages. I do see item, spell, weapon, etc., icons when an item, spell, weapon, etc., is used. Maybe I am missing something?

Yes, this is a v3 feature. (You can safely assume that all open tickets now refer to v3.)

I supprt this request and would really want to see it implemented as soon as possible. Forcing us to use Actor portraits is a bummer.

@Fyorl Any chance this could get added to a future milestone? This is a regular annoyance for me and leads to having to create multiple copied actors where it would not have been neccessary in earlier system versions.
