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 Hephaistos Importer plugin pulls Starfinder character data from Hephaistos into notes by using a public share ID and writing structured frontmatter into files inside a chosen folder. It creates or refreshes character notes without replacing the rest of the note, so existing content and unrelated frontmatter entries stay in place. Optional settings can turn fields like spell names into internal links that follow the Community SRD vault layout, though link guesses may miss in some cases. The importer can also write fields for Initiative Tracker and format data for Fantasy Statblocks, including level, combined hp, armor class text and initiative modifier. It depends on Hephaistos character shares and the export support used by that service.

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.

The Draw Steel Retainer plugin adds a compact combat tracker for Draw Steel sessions. It opens from the scroll ribbon and shows an initiative tracker view built around two tables, matching the game's initiative style instead of a plain turn list. The main setup lives in the plugin settings, where you can add player characters once and have them appear automatically whenever a new tracker is generated. The current feature set is narrow and focused on encounter flow, with the tracker doing the core work and little else around it right now. The README also points to planned additions such as negotiation tracking, montage test tracking, DM tooltips, class specific trackers and a monster statblock CSS snippet, but those are not part of the plugin yet.
