Track Initiative Like a Master

  • DM’s Initiative is on the Left, and players see the table on the right.
  • Fool your players by Hiding monsters from the list, or obscuring their names.
    • Goblin 4 – Hidden Completely
    • Goblin 3 – Name replaced with 1?

Hit Point Tracker

Track Hit Points Like a Master

  • Track Monster HP, AC, and take notes
  • Use the Damage Calculator to subtract damage taken from a monster quickly
  • Monsters that hit 0 HP are automatically skipped in the initiative order.
  • Typing “scrub” hides the monster’s name from the Players. “hide” completely removes the monster from the Players initiative tracker.
