I've recently started using D&D Beyond's built-in map application. I've been trying to find how to add custom tokens, and found only *one* answer, which was creating an unassigned character and setting it's profile pic to whatever you'd want the token to be.

Is this the only way to do this? And if so, how would you do it so the players would not see the unassigned character?

Easiest way is make a homebrew creature and give it a “token” image and bring into the encounter builder and will load a token that way.

Thank you so much! That's a great idea. 

Where do you add this token image in the monster creator? 

Basic Information segment at the bottom it says, Large avatar or Small Avatar, upload accordingly.

I've been searching for a way to do this. Thanks!

the problem I have is even existing monsters have no token art.....lazy wotc?

Also maps is still on Alpha. If this was a full release i'd be more nit picky. But right now I'm its pretty good. 

Its not that they dont have art...its just that they arent using the art they have to populate the token

I'd love to see non-monster tokens, like tables and chests for inside of a dungeon and perhaps boats or fences for outside scenes. 

or even groups of condensed people or animals. this is an amazing idea

I love the idea of condensed groups. That would be neat for like prisoners or bystanders during a city fight. 

Long way to go to match Roll 20. But there is hope
