I ran into an issue while the party was in combat with an ochre jelly. Much to my delight the barbarian in the group hit one of them with his axe splitting it in two. I suddenly found myself trying to figure out how to essentially reduce the one he hit down to half health (easy) and then add another to the tracker and reduce its health to 1/2 to create 2 meduim ochre jellies in place of the one large one. I ended up adding a second one to the encounter builder and hit the "down arrow" to add it to the combat tracker...I think that's where I screwed up as multiple ochre jellies were added instead of just one.
Is there a way to do this more gracefully? Could I have dragged the one from the encounter directly to the combat tracker? Or am I better off quickly creating another encounter with one ochre jelly and adding it separately?
Of course I could have created the encounter with twice as many creatures and only revealed the third and fourth if the first two were split...
In any case, I would love to hear if any others have encountered this and how you have dealt with it.
thanks,
Pete
