Torches that follow a token

Attach a light to a token and it goes wherever the token goes: a torch in a hand, a lantern on a belt, a glowing sword.

For: Game Masters · Plan: Starter · 1 minute

Plan: attaching lights to tokens is on Starter and Pro.

Attach a light

  1. Add a light: open the menu, click Lights, then + Add, pick Torch and click Create Light. See Lighting.
  2. Right-click the light's handle on the board and choose Attach to Token.
  3. A message asks you to click a token. Click the character, enemy or NPC who's carrying it.

The light keeps its place next to the token and moves with it, for everyone.

Attach to Token on the light, click the character, and the torch goes where they go.

Detach it

Any of these:

  • right-click the light and choose Stop Following,
  • in Edit Light, next to Attached to, click Detach,
  • right-click the token and choose Detach Following Lights.

Height

A carried light takes the height of the token carrying it, so its own Elevation (feet) is greyed out: change the token's elevation instead. A token up on a roof lights only the roof.

The light's menu

Right-click a light's handle for Edit Light, Hide Light, Lock Light, Elevation, Attach to Token, Clone and Delete Light.
