LazyExperience & Death Tracker

Hi folks, Still learning my way and am at an early stage of running my first roll20 campaign and have started trying to use Lazy Experience and Death Tracker which my players are enjoying. However, I was running an encounter this week where I had multiple Kobolds and dragged more in as reinforcements arrived.  But experienced an issue where killing one kobold (reducing HP to zero on the token)  killed multiple kobolds but not all. I'm conscious that this will not be a bug but will be something I am doing so - all help and advice gratefully received Kind Regards Steve

Hi Steve, there are a large number of posts around setting up mooks, a Google of Roll20 and mooks will give you heaps to read so I'm not going to reproduce that advice here.  The most common error I made was to set Bar 1 to HP when it should be None.  If it is set to hp then modifying one kobold will modify all tokens of that ilk on the VTT. 

<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a> Step 4B explains how/why to not link Hit Points between ‘mooks’/generic NPCs.&nbsp;

Thanks folks that was really helpful&nbsp; (despite my 40+ years of D&amp;D&nbsp; -I'd never heard the term Mook!) and the error in my case was the Bar 1 HP&nbsp; - 'cos it was red like blood....So some undoing of that required Also Jarren - thanks for the link - really helpful Steve

"Mook" is a slang term for a nameless and generic adversarial NPC. Goon, Thug, Henchman, are synonyms. It's not an official Roll20 term, but was used in the original wiki article on setting up such NPCs, and thus kind of stuck.

Thanks Keith - yes I picked that up (and I like it :) )

Cool, I only mentioned it because when I first read the wiki article, I thought mook was an official term for that sort of token, and ran into some confusion when using it in that capacity.
