We use the group/party token type for dungeon crawling during in person play, because most of the time people move as a group until we get to battle. This makes it much easier so we just have one token controlling the Fog of War, and we don't have to move 5+ tokens manually when we're all trying to move together.
This is a dnd5e feature to make a group/party actor and token, to make a group token you:
- Choose Create Actor
- Choose Group for the actor type
- Drag the party members into the group
Although the group token actor sheet calls out people's dark vision abilities, when I drag the group token to the map it does not auto-populate with any vision, and I can't edit the vision range manually either since it says "Managed by Vision 5e".
What would be nice to happen is if it could use the max/best vision from all the players, assuming that the players could just communicate about what they see to each other. Alternatively, just let GMs edit the vision range manually for group token types.
