NPC Control

[Opthsis]

Is there a way that a character can take control of an NPC in the combat tracker? I just want a character to be able to control something like a familiar or even a summoned creature that would be in the combat tracker.

Thanks

Drag the link for the creature from the CT and drop it on the portrait on the desktop. That should share it with the player.

Here is a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eS5p68O5EuQ&feature=youtu.be)that demonstrates how to give PCs control of an NPC (5e, may work with other rulesets).

More tips and tricks here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?27296-Guides-videos-and-other-helpful-information) (for 5e). For others, you probably want to go to the Ruleset specific sub forum.

Not sure what your running FGC or FGU or 5e; but here's a nifty extension that allows the player to pass the turn for a npc they control which helps take some of the work off the dm. I have a necromancer in the group that has alot skeleton npcs this really smoothed encounters some.
