Hi all, today I came across Taking20's video on creating a "monster manual" inside Roll20 to speed up the use of NPCs: <a href="https://youtu.be/rrbqdkGIa00" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/rrbqdkGIa00</a> I loved it, but the macros were a bit out of date when I started to implement it. With help from old forum posts, I've updated the macros to be working as of January 2019 and put them onto Github. If I used your post/code, you're referenced in the README. <a href="https://github.com/acorney/taking20-mm-roll20" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/acorney/taking20-mm-roll20</a> Code blocks below for feedback, which is always valuable. Anything with a ^ has been updated from the original. Context comes from the video. ## Action # If you are only getting attacks, and no damage then-- On the NPC Character sheet hit the cogwheel.

Djinni. No difference in macro, but you will need to press the cog (same one you use to drop from the compendium) and edit the character sheet to tell Roll20 it's a "Spellcasting NPC" and fill in the stats in that block as per the monster info. Then fill in spells as per usual. ## Legendary Macro @{selected|wtype}&{template:npcaction} {{name=@{selected|npc_name}}} {{rname=Legendary Actions}} {{description=The @{selected|npc_name} can take @{selected|npc_legendary_actions} legendary actions, choosing from the options below.
