Hey there!
Recently I joined a campaign that is using Fantasy Grounds Unity, and I made a character that swaps between elemental stances during combat. I want to, when I switch stances in combat, change her visible token to be her current stance. The GM is able to swap them around, but since they have enough to worry about, I was trying to make it so I could do it myself.
Is there a way to change your Token with out changing your Main character image, for players?

Welcome!
Ruleset?
In 5E for instance the character sheet has the portrait on the left and the token on the right. You can change out the token there whenever you want. Only problem is I do not know if that will change out the token on the map as that is linked to the combat tracker. And I don't know if the CT token is actively linked to the character sheet token or just when the character is added to the CT.

In Pathfinder a GM has to do it.

Players don't have access to tokens; so the DM will have to change it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it was a pathfinder game.
But it seems it was answered regardless. That is rather frustrating honestly. You can sort of fake it if you have constantly swap your main image, if that image is still linked to the token, but I was really hoping it was just a setting we were missing.
Thank you very much for the quick replies!

There is a way to handle this to some degree with an extension, I know that Critically Awesome Essentials - One Click Druid https://www.dmsguild.com/product/261591/Critically-Awesome-Essentials--One-Click-Druid-Fantasy-Grounds has options for appearance or disguise options as far as "shapeshifting" options that will replace your character token with another. You might want to take a look at it and if you have any questions, there's a link on that page to their Discord where you can goto the Diablobob channel and ask him about any limits or features.
