I picked up the official Wizard's of the Coast Tales from the Yawning Portal on Roll20 and so far I'm disappointed and angry. The maps are nice, and the grids all line up, but that seems to be the only thing that's working as expected. Let's take a look at an orc token on the board, from Forge of Fury. I click on the orc and see his HP and AC values pop up in the orbs, I see his HP bar, and nothing else of interest. Someone cast a spell at this orc. I need to make a saving throw for the orc, but doing so is tedious. I have to find the orc character sheet in the Journal, double click it. The first thing which is strange is that the orc sheet (and all of the provided sheets) are player character sheets instead of being NPC sheets. I find the save I want and click the button. This is broadcast to the chat window for everyone to see, and I don't seem to have any options for it to not do that. I don't always want everyone seeing rolls I'm making. I am using the "5th Edition (Community Contributed)" character sheet because I like them much better for macros, but since that's just a display for the raw stats it shouldn't make a difference. The next strange thing is that if I click the button to change the sheet type from Player to Monster, ALL of the values become 0. Greaaaaat. My orc rolled a 6 on his save as was broadcast to everyone, and he took some spell damage. This works fine. But now it is my orcs turn to attack. Again, the only way for me to see his available options is to manually find his character sheet and trawl through it. But the orc's attacks aren't listed. None of the provided sheets include any attacks. I have the whole character sheet in front of me but I actively need the physical monster manual book to look at the attacks. And special action. And spells. And damn near everything. I haven't tested them all, of course, but so far there's not a single provided stat sheet which behaves as one might expect for having dropped... what was it? $80 on this? And to top that off, not a single macro was included. They can't be easily added because so many core statistics are missing. It's honestly easier and quicker for me to just REPLACE all of the sheets and tokens, but I really should not have to. Two questions come to my mind: What am I doing so wrong that using the official stuff is so inconvenient? Why was this available in such an unusable state?
