monster chart

how do i make a chart that includes all my upcoming monsters so i dont have to make multiple macros or fill out sheets for each monster type. Right now i have ghouls skeletons rogues spiders and zombies. I am currently listing attacks saves AC and special abilites etc on a sheet of paper that i have next to my keyboard so i know what dice to roll along with the proper adds. but would prefer to just click skeleton zombie etc to at least get there proper attacks. I have looked at the API stuff and it just causes cranial meltdown for me, I would have to have someone right next to me explaining everything for me to be able to try that stuff.

The easiest way to handle this is to create characters for each class of monster. &nbsp;You need not fill in complicated character sheets though if all you want is simple abilities. &nbsp;Here's the basic process: 1) Create a Character to represent your monster. 2) Create a Token that represents your monster. 3) On the Token settings (double click it or select it and click the gear icon), set the Represents to the Character you created in step 1) 4) Set the Values &nbsp;of the bars to what you want. &nbsp; Do not set Represents on them! &nbsp; (This will allow them to each have their own hit-points, instead of sharing them like a PC or named NPC would.) 5) Open the Character and with the Token selected, edit the Character and set the Token as that Character. 6) Add abilities to the Character that you want your monster to have. &nbsp;Mark them as Token Actions. Now, you can drag that Character onto the map as many times as you like and get individual copies of that monster. &nbsp;Selecting them will list their abilities across the top as buttons (Token Actions). &nbsp;They will each have their own hit point bar. This is effectively the process of setting up " Mooks ", which you can review here:&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a>
Thanks Aaron i will definitely give that a try and see how it works for me. once i make the tokens and character do i just keep the token off tothe side of the map until needed? If i need more than one do i just copy and paste for additional creatures?

Once you've assigned it to the Character, you can just create more Tokens of that monster type by dragging the Character in. &nbsp;You can still copy and paste existing Tokens of that Character or hide/reveal them as well.

I might suggest Aaron's&nbsp; TokenNameNumber -- Automatic Numbering of Qualifying Tokens as well if you dabble in adding API scripts... &nbsp;It goes hand in hand with adding multitudes of mooks.
