#1 ThreeofSwords Dec 17, 2014 15:57:21	Here is a question for those of you who use roll20.net to play your games.   Is there an accepted 'standard' for which of the token icons represent the various 5e conditions (deaf, grappled, etc)?   I just started DMing using roll20.  I love it.  But there aren't always obvious icons for the various D&D conditions.  Or in some cases multiple could apply.   I don't want to train myself 'wrong' just in case I decide to play in someone else's game or an experienced user joins mine and then I find out there is an accepted standard that isn't what I chose.   Thanks in advance for any advice.

For example, we use the orb with the swirly thing around it for concentration, lightning bolts for haste, etc. You can either set the status icons yourself so you can 'control' over the standard in your game, or train your players to do it (faster) based on your standard. I tend to do it myself with negative debuffs and such, because players can 'forgot' those things, and my players control their own buffs.   Here is an handy tip by the way which you may or may not know. You can put numbers on those status icons. Say you have Mirror Image on a player, you can put a status icon on him for the Mirror Image, then hover your mouse over it and press '3'. It'll put a little red number 3 over that status icon so you can track how many images he has active. It's also useful for tracking death saves and such.
