    NPC visibility - Is there a way to unhide specific NPCs to specific PC's only

    Is there an undocumented feature, or a mod, or a extension, which will allow the GM to reveal specific NPC tokens on a battle map to certain players only.

    Currently, If the GM unhides an NPC on the combat tracker, it becomes visible to the entire player group, regardless of each PCs actual ability to 'see' that NPC.

    For instance, a player character who has Darkvision, but the rest of the party do not, is able to spot the NPC (monster) beyond the visual acuity range of the rest of their group. I would like to turn On visibility NPC visiblity just for that character (Darkvision enabled) but, not for the rest of the adventuring group.

    Second example: Character A, has a magical seeing device, which allows them to see invisible creatures. In an encounter where there are several NPCs (monsters) which are invisible. The rest of the adventuring group can not see these invisible monsters. I would like to reveal the invisible creatures ONLY to Character A and not to the rest of the group.

    Thank you for your attention to my question.

    No, visibility is all or nothing; either everyone sees the NPC or no one does.
    If there is something that you would like to see in Fantasy Grounds that isn't currently part of the software or if there is something you think would improve a ruleset then add your idea here https://www.fantasygrounds.com/featu...rerequests.php

    Blech... That's what I thought. But, was hoping that I had missed something.

    Is there somewhere one can place a request for FGU to add this as a feature? Or maybe update FG current?
