    Issue: Creatures that occupy the same square on the grid are hard to target when applying a spell effect or targeting for an attack.

    Current Workaround: Use the Roster and click on the character you want to bring to the top then continue.

    Proposed Solution: Thinking how best to handle targeting when multiple creatures are on the same grid of the map due to grappling or elevation I believe the best way would to display all creatures on that grid space when your mouse hovers over that grid (mouseover). This way it would work universally and more intuitively for selecting creatures that occupy the same place on the grid.

    Example of proposal:

    Hail and well met,

    I agree that stacked creatures are difficult to deal with and I've been wanting to address this myself for some time. I'm formally tracked this in our system and will get an improvement in ASAP.
