== How to set up tokens properly! ==
+
== All tokens and objects suddenly went transparent ==
  
It seems a lot of people are having trouble getting their tokens set up properly, to work with Journal entries.
+
During editing a map; adding token terrain and features, all objects in background and token layer became semi-transparent. Everything is on the correct layer...I checked. Whats going on.?
  
This is how to do it:
+
== 5e Character Sheet Attack Buttons Inactive ==
  
First, decide if your token represents a CHARACTER or a MOOK.
+
    I've played a considerable amount of D&D on Roll20, and have made many characters in the 5e character sheets. However, all of the characters I end up making attacks or spells for have the buttons with (Name,ATK Bonus,Damage/Type) greyed out and don't roll the attack or spell in the chat.  
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.
+
    Occasionally, I'm able to get a DM to fix it by switching the proficiency modifier for the attack roll. This fix doesn't work when I replicate it, even in a room where I'm the DM.
 +
    For now, I can manage with the macro bar if I only have a handful of attacks or spells. But if I ever want to have a large spell list, or make characters for others, I'm going to have to fix this.
  
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:
+
== noob question ==
  
# Set up Journal entry with HP and other vital stats (By general consensus, Bar 1 usually represents Hit Points)
+
Sorry for the noob question.  I am new to roll20 and am trying to DM the first module in Tales From the Yawning Portal. I can see the maps etc. but can't seem to find the room descriptions anywhere! What am I missing here?
# Create token to represent creature ​
+
Thanks in advance for the help, and I hope this is the right place to ask.
# 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.

[edit] Apparent Screen Error

[edit] All tokens and objects suddenly went transparent

During editing a map; adding token terrain and features, all objects in background and token layer became semi-transparent. Everything is on the correct layer...I checked. Whats going on.?
