Make a creature your own....

I appreciate as usual I'm being dim but..... There are multiple creatures I want to do this before but I will describe the first occurrence of the problem I have a module I'm creating and there is a protagonist creature a lot like a Yeti  - so I couldn't quite see how to create a creature without going through the character builder (a separate learning for me I think) and so thought I will take a MM1 Yeti and duplicate it. This seemed to work fine.  I got a copy of the sheet was able to change the art-work, description, stat-block etc. All good or so I thought I created an icon and linked it to the new creature, dragged the creature from the journal onto a map and rather than the name I had chosen it gave it the name Abominable Yeti with the AC and HP from the original MM1 creature. I then noticed that my creature copy still had an MM1 icon next to it in the journal but when opening up the sheet all seemed ok. What am I missing? Do I really need to create my own creatures from scratch? Kind Regards Steve

Sounds like you did not update the default token for the character sheet with your new version. Assigning the sheet to an existing token on the map and changing the token name only affects that instance of the token, and subsequent drags from the journal will retain the [previous] default token until updated. 

Hi Caronidir the Sage,  To add to what David wrote, please edit the token, make sure it is set up correctly. Especially make sure it is linked to the new character.  After saving edit the character and click "Use Selected Token" to set it as the default token.  Alternately, after saving re-edit the token and click "Update Default Token". 

One other point is to NOT link hit points to any of the bar parameters.  Otherwise all of your monsters will share the same HP value; when one is injured they will all show it.  Linking HP to a bar is only for PCs or other unique individuals.

Ah thanks all, it was not updating the default token that did it
