Understanding Core Behavior
This article covers features that are default behavior of Foundry VTT to avoid misunderstandings about how the module works.
If a player has Owner/Observer permission for a character, they will be able to read messages as that character.
Beware of having extra characters with known languages with Owner/Observer permission, such as party-friendly NPCs or player-controlled NPC.
If a user has an assigned actor and their actor has a token in the current scene's map, they will speak "In Character": the message's sender will be the actor.
Otherwise, the user will be speaking "Out of Character": the message's sender will be the user.
By default, Polyglot only scrambles:
- Out of Character messages sent by the GM.
- In Character messages sent by the players.
Both behaviors can be changed under the Scramble OOC Chat Messages setting.
