Description

The Initiative Tracker plugin keeps combat encounters inside a note by turning an encounter code block into a live tracker for turn order and creature state. It lets you add creatures and NPCs, record health, armor class, status and initiative, then sort the list automatically as the fight moves forward. Identical creatures can be grouped together, renamed for clarity and added by fixed counts or dice rolls. The plugin also stores encounters so they can be reopened later instead of rebuilt each time. It can calculate creature experience points from level or challenge rating and it works with custom creatures as well as SRD entries supported through Fantasy Statblocks.
