Hiya Fellas

I am in the cumbersome and yet interesting process of learning FG. I am constantly running in to problems at every corner (often unexpected problems), however fortunately i keep finding solutions for most problems.
But i have this problem i just cannot seem to crack. I feel i am missing something basic, but here it goes:

How do you scale tokens individually as GM? fx if i am using an ogre and two goblins as an encounter. How do i scale the ogre to 10 ft/10ft and goblins to 5 ft/5ft? It seems like you only can scale all tokens and not singles at a time.

Thanks for your time

I'd make the tokens different sizes in the first place. But if you need to adjust a token's size on the fly, you can point your cursor at it on the Combat Tracker and use the mouse wheel to roll its size up or down.

Edit Out typed by Callum. :p

Like Callum said, if you have the monsters on the map linked to the combat tracker then you can scale them individually by putting your mouse over the token on the combat tracker and rolling the mouse wheel. This will increase or decrease the size of the token by 10% each mouse wheel click. If you hold down the shift key while rolling the mouse wheel to make the token larger it will increase the size by 100% each click.

This is a pain for doing to every individual token so you really want to scale all your tokens to a common size. I use 32 x 32 pixels for medium sized monsters and scale everything else appropriately, but many use 50 x 50 pixels for medium.

And welcome to the boards Rezwal. If you don't understand anything just ask more questions.

Ah, that is smart. I can see your point in scaling the token before using it. Thanks a lot to both of you :)
