New DM having problems.

So new to DM’ing and have created a test map. Example of problem: When I load in 3 Kobolds and one is hit, When I lower that particular tokens HP, it drops all 3 tokens HP as well. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

If you are copying the token and putting it on the screen then they will all be the same one. also ill grab a scrrenshot for you but try this 1. double click on token 2. make sure top box on right whereit says bar 1and has a green dot) 3. If it is set to hp change it to none and that should fix it

Well TYVM …that worked. Now I have to edit like 200+ monster tokens …FML

So even though that IS tracking HP, just leave it blank? Yes. The reason is that each of your kobold tokens is pointing to the same "kobold" character sheet, so if you link Bar 1 to hp, changing the value of Bar 1 will change the hp value on the shared character sheet. You could make separate character sheets for each individual kobold ("old kobold", "crossbow kobold", "kobold in the red hat", "Fred the kobold", etc.), link each token to its own unique character sheet, and assign Bar 1 to hp for that sheet, but generally having the kobolds all share a character sheet and assigning Bar 1 to "None" is simpler and easier.

Is there a way to reassign that to all monsters at once or so I have to modify each monster?

Here is the wiki article on linking tokens.&nbsp; Step 4.B is what Sarah is referring to.&nbsp; Doing that will allow you to drag out multiple copies of the same token from a single sheet and have independent HP. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a>

Hi Sparker, When you say 200+ monster tokens, do you mean ones on the board, or the default tokens stored in your journal? There are ways to do this with the token-mod script, but the commands would be different in each case.

Pull out any token that needs to be fixed and run the following token-mod commands (you can put them into a single macro): !token-mod --set bar1_current|@{selected|hp|max} ids @{selected|character|id} !token-mod --set bar1_link| bar1_max|@{selected|hp|max} ids @{selected|character|id} defaulttoken The first command sets the current token hp to the max hp for the selected character. The&nbsp; ids @{selected|character|id} &nbsp;part does it for every token on the map representing that character. So all goblins in place are fixed The second command unlinks bar 1 from the hp attribute on the character sheet (again, for all tokens on the board). It then sets the new max on the token bar 1 to equal the current. Finally, it updates the default token for that character so any future tokens you drag out are fixed. Test it on a couple of unimportant monsters first to make sure it is doing what you want. Then you can drag out any token, run the macro and everything should be set. If you want to update lots of pages, you might want to fix the defaults on one page, and then run the macro on subsequent pages without the&nbsp; defaulttoken &nbsp;code. If you need assistance installing token-mod, say the word.

TYVM brother!

you're going to love doing this with the TokenMod API script from the One-Click drop down, the way keithcurtis explained how as a Pro subscriber with API access, this is a powerful timesaver
