Does anyone know of a Script that i can add into my games that will add a decent amount of monsters from the DnD 5e monster manual? Adding them one at a time is quite tedious.  Thank you all very much for your time! Update: Liam's post solved my issue after changing to the shared version of character sheets.

There is a script if you are using the 5e Shaped sheet. However it doesn't work with the OGL or "Community Created" sheets.

That is cool, but I like the OGL sheet, myself,  and that script works with the Shaped sheet. This community certainly does a lot of cool stuff.

Kimli said: That is cool, but I like the OGL sheet, myself Well there's your problem! :D OGL sheet likely won't ever do the importing that Lucian and I have accomplished for the Shaped sheet so you'll likely always have to do it manually unless by chance you can buy all MM for roll20.

Wouldn't be too difficult to convert the shaped monster import to work with the OGL sheet. Mostly it's a matter of making sure the variables are named to match.

Conversion isn't easy. I'm already doing the reverse. It would also be rather difficult to swap to Shaped to import and then swap back and convert.

Not talking about swapping sheets. Talking about cutting out and re-writing the part of script that imports the monsters. Just really have to go through and make sure the attributes it sets on the character sheet match what the OGL sheet uses.

Well, the script itself isn't setting any (relevant) attributes, it only hands over the data to the sheet workers. The actual import from raw data to sheet attributes is done in sheet workers.

It's likely because sheetworkers are doing ancillary calculations to set up the sheet.  Those calculations wouldn't happen if you set all the attributes in the API without converting that logic to run in both places.  However, when/if sheet workers are running for the "API Player", it would be more reasonable.
