View Full Version : Tokens Blocked by LoS even for DM...

Hello, first time posting.

With the last update, I have noticed that as the DM, I can no longer move player tokens through walls or other LoS elements. This has severely limited my options for things like teleportation, phasing, falling into pit traps, etc. where I would just move the token as the DM to the appropriate area of the map.

Is there a keyboard shortcut that would allow me as the DM to supercede LoS obstacles? If not, is there a plan in a future release to allow DMs to toggle this setting to better match their playstyle/games? Thanks for any feedback you can provide. :-)

You can hold shift to ignore walls while moving the token.

A lot of GMs wanted to move tokens just like players; and avoid accidentally pathing through walls that players or NPCs would normally not be able to move through. So, we turned the default movement behavior to be the same for both GMs and players.

Of course, the GM always had the option to override LoS/FoW update using the Shift key, and we made it also work to bypass walls.
