Best healing/damage script or macro to use in 2020?

There have been so many threads on this, and many of them are quite old. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me what method works best for you to heal or damage PCs and NPCs, preferably in batches (not just single-target healing). Is there a way to heal that respects the max value in the HP field? What's your go-to script?

I use a combination. Group Check and its companion,  Apply Damage are awesome for fireballs and such. The Aaron's TempHP and Status is great for tracking temporary HP and constraining the HP between 0 and Max.

I use token mod. It is quick clean and easy to understand, it is my goto token management tool.

The new --report feature makes TokenMod even better for healing things...

You can find that here:&nbsp; <a href="https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/TempHPAndStatus/TempHPAndStatus.js" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/shdwjk/Roll20API/blob/master/TempHPAndStatus/TempHPAndStatus.js</a> However, I think this snippet I wrote more recently is actually much better.&nbsp; There are two versions, one that deals with negative numbers ala DnD 3.5/Pahtfinder, the other that is dead at 0 like DnD 5e: <a href="https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/4fdc7ca5fc106d91aa11bddef4ecf63c" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/shdwjk/4fdc7ca5fc106d91aa11bddef4ecf63c</a>

Thanks, Aaron!

What makes the snippet better?

It's the six million dollar man version. I rebuilt it—better, faster, stronger. =D (mainly because I forgot the other one existed...)

Thank you all! This is very helpful. I will try to figure out how to use Tokenmod for healing.&nbsp;

Something like: !token-mod --set bar1_value|[[{@{selected|bar1|max},[[@{selected|bar1}+2d4+4]]}kl1]] --report all|"{name} heals {bar1_value:change}hp"

Thanks, Aaron! I'm an idiot at this stuff, so the explicit instruction is appreciated. Does your snippet account for the max HP of a given token?

Yup!&nbsp; This part: [[{@{selected|bar1|max},[[@{selected|bar1}+2d4+4]]}kl1]] breaks down as " for (the max of bar1) or (current bar1 + 2d4+4), take the lower number"&nbsp; In the case that max is 19 and current is 17, then the right side might be 24, and 19 is lower, so that is the result of the roll.&nbsp; The value is then assigned to bar1.&nbsp;

Many, many thanks!

No worries. =D
