Has this happened to you? You’re writing down initiative order when you realize the Goblin rolled an 18 and not the Paladin. Well, time to bring out the eraser and you have to redo half your list. Or you’re using a whiteboard and accidentally lean on it while moving an Owlbear into position to shred the raging Barbarian. Now your Rogue is a mere smudge.

Well, have we got the product for you!

Introducing our interactive, editable PDF Initiative Tracker, powered by JavaScript and the desire to make running combat easier. Plan encounters ahead of the game, add combatants as needed, and see whose turn it is at a glance. Less erasing, less smudging, more time to focus on the mayhem.

The tracker displays up to 21 combatants at a time, with entry spaces for six PCs and 40 monsters.

“Yeah, that’s good and all, but what can it do?”

• Prepare encounters: Set up encounters ahead of the game.

• Roll initiative: Roll for monsters and PCs when needed.

• Move through turns: Advance the initiative order or go back when you need to.

• See who’s up: An arrow and green highlight mark the current combatant.

• Manage hit points: Apply damage, healing, and temporary HP.

• Identify Status: HP colors change when a combatant is Bloodied or at 0 HP.

• Track conditions: Add up to three conditions per combatant.

• Follow ongoing effects: Track effects and their remaining rounds.

• Update mid-combat: Bring new effects and conditions into the tracker as the battle unfolds.

• Reset for another fight: Reset the board with the option to keep or reset the PCs’ HP.

Action economy speaks louder than words. Watch our video demo to see the Initiative Tracker in action!
