As the Game Master (GM) you can move any token: drag it, walk it along a path, teleport it, or gather the whole party in one go.

For: Game Masters · Plan: Free · 2 minutes

Drag a token

Drag it to where you want it. With GM View on, you can move anything: characters, enemies, NPCs.

  • The arrow keys nudge the selected token one step.
  • Snap to Grid, in the Grid mode, makes tokens land on squares.
  • Block Wall Passage, in the same place, stops tokens being dragged through walls and closed doors. It stops you too.

Move several at once

Drag a box around them on an empty part of the map, or Shift-click each one, then drag the group.

Walk a token along a path

  1. Right-click the token and choose Move by Path.

  2. Click each point along the way.

  3. Press Enter to walk it there, or Esc to cancel.

    Move by Path: click the points along the way, press Enter, and the token walks the route.

A path doesn't snap to the grid and goes straight through walls, so plan it around them.

Teleport a token

Right-click it and choose Teleport, then click anywhere on the map. Esc cancels. Teleporting ignores walls.

Gather the party

Right-click the map (or a token) and choose Place Party Here. Every player's token lands in a ring around that spot.

Height

Right-click a token and choose Elevation. Up 5 ft and Down 5 ft change it, Ground puts it back, and Apply saves it. A raised token shows its height, such as +30 ft.

Elevation from the token menu: up to 30 ft, then Apply. The token shows +30 ft.

Stop everyone moving

On the view controls at the bottom right, Lock token movement stops players moving their tokens until you click Unlock token movement. Players see that you've locked movement. Pause Game stops movement too. See Pause the game.

In a battle

Players can only move their token on their turn. The active token shows how far it's moved, and how far over its speed. See Running turns and rounds.
