Link icons on PC fields in Combat Tracker

[tintagel]

So I've done some searching and can't seem to find the answer. What do the little link icons in the PC fields mean? I assume they are shared or something but not sure.

It means they're fields that are crosslinked to the PC record in the database. There's no functionality in those icons themselves, others than telling you that if you change the value in the CT it will be changed in the PC sheet too.

NPCs don't have these because when a NPC is added to the CT their whole record is copied into the combattracker section of the FG database, for each individual NPC.

Ok, thanks for the insight! You don't want monsters to update their entries, but do want that to happen for the PCs. Makes sense now that you mention it.
