Importing abilities from one character to another?

Hi there, Is it possible to create a set of abilities within the Attributes and Abilities tab on one character/NPC and quickly move them to another (or all) future characters created? Effectively what I'm trying to do is generate a bunch of default token actions (initiative, saves, attacks, etc) for 5e monsters brought over from the SRD and then be able to quickly move all of them to all future monsters I bring over. I do not want to setup global macros in the macro bar; I want them to specifically be token actions so that I can modify them per monster (so that it's clear what attack I'm choosing, for example). It's probably pretty obvious what I'm asking, but I'll stick a couple screenshots on as well for clarification.

I'd recommend setting up a generic sheet and then click the Edit button and duplicate the sheet...

^ Good suggestion. I'll also mention that Global Macros can be set up as Token Actions, as well, if you want them present for every Token.

How would that bring in all of the other NPC/monster's data from Attributes and the Bio and Info tabs? The entire purpose of what I'm trying to do is to keep all of that information from the imported NPC/monster from the SRD. Creating a template would require entering all of that information from the monster's entry, and would be far more data entry than individually copying and pasting the desired ability token macros.

FWIW, for anyone discovering this post later in a search, etc, this video explains how to effectively do what I'm trying to do: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrbqdkGIa00" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrbqdkGIa00</a> While you cannot copy/paste multiple abilities across characters, you can drag over entire stat blocks from the SRD monsters, allowing you to utilize a template as recommended above.

Art, Sorry, I was focused on the "future." It won't help you for all the characters you already have, but you get the "generic" sheet set up the way you want and then duplicate it as you create new characters. Then, you update that duplicate sheet with the new character information. &nbsp;Moving stuff to all your existing characters...nothing to do there, but Copy/Paste between sheets.

The&nbsp; CharUtils script by TheAaron can copy over abilities from one character to another via the !chardup command.

+1 for CharUtils ( here's some documentation ). This API Script might also be of use: [Script] Create standard character abilities automatically for new characters

I wrote a script that I believe still works for creating NPC actions as token actions: &nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2983341/script-t" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2983341/script-t</a>... It won't automatically create common token actions (like Initiative or Saves) but hopefully it helps at least with attacks/actions.

Do you know if anything similar exists for copying over token attributes? There doesn't seem to be a way to have a token template unless I'm missing something.

TokenMod should do the trick. It can't exactly COPY properties, but you can just work the properties you need into the TokenMod command.

And thus I would just make a macro with the exact "defaults" that I wanted to use for most tokens, select the new token, and hit the macro, correct? Sorry, I'm still new to Roll20.

Also, if you want to make setup that little bit more efficient, you can use&nbsp; DefaultToken to set character default tokens automatically after setting them up (just use e.g. !default-token --wait 3000 to wait for TokenMod to finish). I personally do all my token setup with a nice 1-click macro...
