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.

The Generic Initiative Tracker plugin adds a combat tracker to the side pane and lets encounters be created directly from notes with an `encounter` code block. It handles players and creatures, supports optional HP, AC and initiative values, and can add multiple copies of the same creature while keeping duplicate names distinct. Combat can be started, stepped forward or backward, rerolled, reset, or stopped from the tracker view. Creature names can resolve like wiki links in rendered encounters, and notes tagged `#condition` can be pulled in as custom conditions. The plugin is a trimmed fork of a 5e focused tracker, so it drops system specific import features and keeps the encounter flow more system agnostic. Initiative formulas can also use dice expressions.
