Second, at least one of my players has a tendency to randomly click enemy tokens when it's not his turn due to his propensity to fidget. And third, when dealing with area-effect damage, it's very helpful to be able to have some sense of order among the affected monsters, especially if some of them are affected by saving throw modifiers or energy resistance.
To some degree, though, it comes down to different DMs' styles of management, and I can certainly see how other DMs may not have a problem with unnumbered monsters or may not even need the targeting circles.

It's been 13 years, and I still have this problem!
Could the developers please make this bright orange, or a setting, or blinking... this seems like an easy feature that many DMs will really appreciate!
Thanks.

I've been using Celestian's extension "Has Initiative Indicator" to get around this - it overlays a gold crown on top of the token whose turn it is. Very useful. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...has+initiative

The ext that Rades says is great, however, if you really want to have a better toolbox I suggest using this one. Does cost $$.

Thanks.
