Rolling 5e npc health from their character sheet while HP is unlinked on token

Ok so this should be a trickier one!  From what I can see tokens in D&D 5e do not directly LINK their health to their character sheet.  The game makers just set their TOKENS to have the health SET at a matching value.  I'm cool with that, It saves all Goblins sharing the same current HP and so on.  What I want to have is to select each npc token, have their individual health-dice-formula (e.g 2d6+2) rolled and have each token updated per each result.  If all goes well, this doesn't affect the npc character sheet, the bar-1 of each npc is just updated per a function/ macro I use for all of them and then their health updates on the token.  Let me know if something easily is accessible! 

I don't know if I understood your question. But I use the API !token-mod and I have a macro into every NPC/Monster Abilities tab. Then I roll for each one or selected ones. Select the bar you wish to use for HP and change the Hit Die for each accordingly: !token-mod --set bar3|[[2d8]]

I believe the One Click script "Monster Hit Dice" by The Aaron will do this.

If you want to go the token-mod route and are using the D&D 5e by Roll20 sheet, this will set everything in one swell foop: !token-mod --set bar1|[[@{selected|npc_hpformula}]]

Made sure the token mod API script was added (wasn't so clear i needed it) but it's there now, not working. 

It randomizes for me, but each token receives the same random number. There's probably something I'm not thinking of. Have you tried the Monster Hit Dice script?

Nope, downloaded that script, refreshed the api, refreshed the page, nothing :P 

Just to eliminate any other possible causes, are any scripts responding?

I just ran a test with Monster Hit Dice script. These settings work in the test game:

IT WORKS! However there is still some strangeness if I select a group  A group of goblins will all come to the same result if I select all of them at once.  If I include a big boss goblin, he also will have the same result with the rest of the group, even though his hpformula involves more dice. 

That's with the TokenMod command, right?&nbsp; That's how that one works.&nbsp; If Monster Hit Dice, if you select them all, copy, delete, paste, it will reroll them.&nbsp; Otherwise it rolls them on drop. Ok.. I just added a command to MonsterHitDice: !mhd This will reroll the hit dice for all selected tokens.

Easier than clicking "Follow this Topic"?

Copy, delete, pasting does the job excellently!&nbsp; And even more excellently it does the same for new tokens being dragged out which is just.... However the !mhd didn't do anything, sorry to say

Did you install that new version and select tokens? &nbsp;If you're installing from the 1-click, the command should show up on Tuesday.&nbsp;
