Defining Player Vision

The recommended way to add vision to players, is to adjust the Senses on the character sheet. FGU and the ruleset will interpret the vision and apply the appropriate vision setting.

Vision Sets

• Normal Vision (unlimited range)

• Darkvision (specific range or unlimited)

• Truesight (specific range or unlimited)

• Blindsight (specific range or unlimited)

Some rulesets support additional senses. D&D 5E supports devilsight and this is mapped to Truesight. Pathfinder 2 support Greater Darkvision and it is mapped to Truesight as well.

Open

To adjust the vision settings, either remove, add, or edit the Senses on the character sheet.

Defining NPC Vision

NPCs manage vision in a similar way. Adjust the Senses field for an NPC and it will automatically update. If the NPC is already on a map, double-click it to open the NPC and then unlock and edit the field.

Managing Vision with Effects

Effects are another way to manage vision on NPCs or players. You can create a custom effect and share it with your players. This effect can then be dragged onto a token in the combat tracker to apply it. For players, they can also link effects to their Actions tab, for situations where a spell, item, or ability temporarily grants them a new vision type.

Drag the effect to the token in the Combat Tracker to Apply it. Once there, it can be turned off and on as needed. (D&D 5E Effects shown below. Other ruleset effects may vary.)

Special Vision Modifiers with Blinded Condition

Vision Modifiers

• VISMAX
  Standard vision is reduced to the specified range; and special visions are capped to the specified range (i.e. if special vision defined on sheet or other effects gives greater range than cap, then the range is reduced to cap). Also, this only applies to visions affected by Blinded condition (i.e. not Blindsight)

  Syntax: VISMAX: {range}

• VISMOD
  Any vision type (standard or special) which has a fixed range (either inherently (i.e. VISION: 60 darkvision) or due to VISMAX) will be adjusted by the specified number (positive or negative). Visions with unlimited range are not affected. Also, this only applies to visions affected by Blinded condition (i.e. not Blindsight).

Drag the effect(s) to the token in the Combat Tracker to Apply it. Once there, it can be turned off and on as needed. (D&D 5E Effects shown below. Other ruleset effects may vary.)

Managing Vision with the Image Toolbar

For rulesets that support automatic vision assignment, please note that the character sheet and NPC sheet will override whatever you set in the image toolbar.

1. Open the image and unlock it

2. Enable player vision and lighting

3. Navigate to the Lighting section and then choose Token Vision

4. Select one or more tokens on the map

5. Pick one of the available presets and adjust the settings.

6. Click on Add Vision to apply it to the selected token

7. You can remove it by clicking on the Delete Vision. You will see the number of defined vision settings for this token increment where the 1/1 is displayed below.
