[1.4.1.8] Pre-Built Token Library

Post by Calypso »

It would be extremely handy to be able to pre-build tokens (set properties, sizes, notes, handouts, etc), and then add them to a library that is available on all maps for a campaign (or even between campaigns). Instead, I have to have a "token" map, where I go and grab the things I need and copy them to my current map. It's not *too* onerous, but I think my suggestion would be much cleaner.

You can save a token as "rptok" files. If saved under any library location, you'll be able to do what you're looking for.

You can also do things with macros and tables. I select a token, and the macro lets me choose the type of monster from a drop down and either type in a level or let it roll randomly. All the properties are stored in a table.

You can also save the campaign properties which includes token types, states, lights... But it's all or nothing, so you can't say merge with existing FW.

So I guess this begs the question, has anyone created prebuilt .rptok files for all of the D&D 5E monster manual?

Depending on what framework you're using, you might take a look at this:

/viewtopic.php?t=27420

I believe there's a macro to import stuff from some web site (the SRD, maybe?), too, but that will need to come from someone else.

A litle bit of self promotion :)

Some monsters have their SRD stats, it's still a work in progress.
