It seems to me it would be a lot clearer if tokens just has a "Make Minion" (or whatever) toggle that would then unlink stats but still set their value from a snap shot from the stats. So the GM could set the bars to the stats they are linked to but it would just copy those values to the token but then not update the value backwards to the character. The reason why I think this would be good would be: 1 - It's more clear to the user. He doesn't have to understand the deeper way of how it works. They just need to understand the concept of a minion. 2 - Much easier. You would just hit one toggle It's easier for people to understand larger concepts then the various details.
