A piece of thin chain would make a good marker for someone's control range. It also look cool on the table. Except it wouldn't because under the current SR rules it's not a legal table marker. You could use the chain as a measurement widget but you wouldn't be able to leave it on the table after you were done measuring.

That's why i said that it would be a good one of it was one of the allowed ones.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but a bit of string is not on the list of approved table markers: " Players can use only the following items as table markers: 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, and 120 mm markers; 3˝, 4˝, and 5˝ AOE templates; wall templates; and small beads or coins." Well at least that rule prevents a custom marker arms race.

That would be using markers, not tokens. Tokens do indicate an effect, but not a distance. Marking a distance (control range) requires a marker (in this case probably a bead) that marks a point x" away from another point. You are limited to two of those, and may also have a "continuous measurement" which is functionally the same in this instance. Well, as I said, there is a bit of a difference in there. If you want to measure your opponent's control range "for the lulz", then you probably need to use up the table markers. If you are marking an in game effect (Wurmwood's Feat or Inhospitable ground, for example), you can use your beads as "tokens" per definition. The Wurmwood-Feat example was used on the CID-Forum somewhere. I would advocate to see the opponent's control range as an "in-game-effect" and therefore always markable.

And abilities. Like abilities that trigger something when you enter the area but aren't necessarily an in game effect that extends that far. Like countercharge.

Actually, you just expressly admitted that you're using multiple 30mm bases. "multiple 30mm bases glued together" is not listed as a valid table marker, only 30mm bases in itself. A string of them would then be as many markers as you are using bases in that string.

ya as much as I am not a fan of the rule PP has done a good job in killing the widget race before it began.
