The truth about tokens.. I'll give it a shot.
A token (hex, tri, oct) will reroll all of your stats (str, int, wis, dex con).
Using a token is not reversible. (With the exception - I think - of a quest-drachma based reversal token. I have never used these, so my knowledge may be faulty here.)
Tokens, in general, pop randomly. With that being said, there are certain mobs that pop tokens more often than others. There are (or were) mob token lists on the website. (An easy one that comes to mind is the elderly men on valk.)
"Is rerolling necessary?"
Ok, this is a tough one. (See my poll about 'playable stats.') I would say yes, but how much rerolling? I have used many (> 100) tokens on Si alone. So choose how picky you are about stats... or you will spend your mud-life rolling.
Hope this helps.
