As a GM, how can I prevent players from moving specific tokens?
While TT-RPG gives players the freedom to move their assigned tokens, Game Masters retain ultimate control with the ability to lock specific tokens in place. This is crucial for managing static NPCs, downed player characters, or environmental elements that should not be moved by players.
To lock a token, simply hover over it in the map editor. A small action pill will appear. Within this pill, you'll find a toggle specifically for 'Movement Lock'. Clicking this toggle will prevent any player, even if assigned to that token, from dragging it across the map. The GM can still move the token, but players will be unable to.
This feature is incredibly useful for maintaining the integrity of your map and narrative. You can lock down a crucial objective, a fallen hero, or an unmoving monster, ensuring that players only interact with the map in ways you intend, while still enjoying the freedom to move their active characters.
