| − | == How to set up tokens properly! ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | It seems a lot of people are having trouble getting their tokens set up properly, to work with Journal entries.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This is how to do it:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First, decide if your token represents a CHARACTER or a MOOK.
| |
| − | A Character is a unique being; this token represents one, and only one, Journal Entry. Player characters are Characters. So are most NPCs (those with names). Some 'monsters' can be Characters as well; if there's only one instance of this being, ever, it's a Character.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A MOOK is not a unique being; this token represents one of many similar or identical creatures. A horde of goblins is made up of moooks, for example. A leader goblin may or may not be a character, depending on the situation. The Goblin King is a Character, not a mook, as there is only one Goblin King. Some NPCs may be mooks: generic townspeople, for example, are mooks until and unless they are given a specific personality, name, or other reason to identify them differently than others; in this rare case, create them anew as Character tokens.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Now the tricky part; this needs to be done exactly in this order to work properly:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | # Set up Journal entry with HP and other vital stats (By general consensus, Bar 1 usually represents Hit Points)
| |
| − | # Create token to represent creature
| |
| − | # Link token to journal entry (Represents Character dropdown menu)
| |
| − | # Link token's bars to journal's stats (Bar 1,2,3 dropdown menu)
| |
| − | # If "Mook", UNLINK token's Bar 1,2,3 dropdown from stats (numbers will stay but will no longer be linked)
| |
| − | # Make 100% sure token is set up the way you want it (PCs bars are linked; generic creatures bars are NOT linked)
| |
| − | # Open Journal entry for that Token
| |
| − | # Select Token on map
| |
| − | # Use Selected Token
| |
| − | # Save your work
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Test by dragging multiple copies onto the map. Change Hit Points on one copy; if the others change, it's done right!
| |
| − | (Unless it's a monster... if the others do not change, it's done right!)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | PC tokens will always carry over changes to new maps
| |
| − | Monster tokens will never carry over changes; each new token is unique.
