Tracking Players' HP as a GM

Hello, Sorry in advance if this question has been asked, I tried searching for it to no avail. Is there a way to track your players' HP, instead of having to go look in their journals? The purpose of this would be to change to a more dramatic playlist if one of the players go below half, or is close to 0. Thanks! Mark

Set up their tokens so that one of the bars is linked to hp (use the same bar for all characters), then not only can you see their percentage health at a glance, your players can account for damage/healing by simply changing the value in the corresponding bubble when they click their token. Make sure to properly set the default token for your PCs as well: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a>

Thanks a lot Scott. Is it possible for only the GM and the relevant player to be able to see that bar?
By default that is how it appears, unless you mark a bar as see on the token settings like so.

you can get it with a macro: /w gm @{selected|HP|current} will return the current HP of a selected token. /w gm @{Bob|HP|current} will return the current HP of a character named Bob. Theses can be chained together in a party macro: /w gm @{Char1|HP|current} /w gm @{Char2|HP|current} /w gm @{Char3|HP|current} /w gm @{Char4|HP|current} The actual ability called will vary from sheet to sheet, but this should get you started.
