Role

Which side a creature is on.

Role is the one piece of allegiance shared by a Combatant and its map Token, and it drives more than presentation: it decides token ring colors, whether a creature’s experience counts toward encounter difficulty, whether the app rolls its initiative automatically, and how labels are assigned.

  • Note: A nil role is treated as hostile throughout, so unclassified creatures behave as adversaries.
