Separated copies of fiends

Hello everybody! I'm not a natural speaker, but I will do my best to describe the problem/question I have. Hope you will understand. Is there a possibility to put several copies of the same monster on the map and use it independently? For example: I drag the kobold from the kompendium several times on the map, but when I want to change the HP of one of them, the HPs of every kobold is dropping as well. But I want to play them separated from each other. Greetings

Hi Ramenka! This is a common error in token set up. The trick is to put the value in the bar, but don't actually link the bar to the character. That way each token has a separate HP total. They are getting a little old, but here are some guides: Here is the wiki article on  Linking Tokens to Journals Here is a   video  which demonstrates the procedure

Hi Ramenka,  The key here is do NOT link the token's HP bar to the Character's HP if it is for an NPC. Just assign the numbers to the Bar while leaving the Attribute set to None.  Here is an image showing the steps to correct the problem.  Start by clicking the token Then click the cog (1) Next, change the Health bar from the HP to "None" (2) Next click Open Character Sheet (3) Click Save Settings (4) Click Edit (5) Click Use Selected Token (6) and finally you can Save Changes and close the sheet.  Note: You can use Update Default Token to bypass steps 3-6+ but I've seen it have errors sometimes. This other method doesn't usually have problems.  Next, replace all existing tokens with the updated token (Drag from Journal tab).  You can also use Apply Token Defaults to replace all the existing tokens, but again, I've seen it have errors, or time out.  Edit: and I am slow, Keith beat me to it. :)

Gauss did a lot more work. I just plopped down my hotkey answer.
Thank you so much - both of you :) You really helped me with that!
