Fast Play Initiative Tracker

About this app

The dungeon master can keep the Dungeons & Dragons game moving with this streamlined initiative manager. Designed to minimize steps. At the beginning of each round press the "Next Round" button and all creatures get new initiative rolls (including their bonus) and the list is sorted.

Enter each player or NPC name and initiative bonus. At the beginning of each battle add the monsters. This is very helpful when dealing with a large number of monsters.

There are options to support two styles of playing: rolling initiative each round or rolling just once at the beginning of the battle.

Delete monsters or players as they are defeated. Add new monsters in the middle of the battle.

* A round counter keeps track of rounds.
* Monster dictionary auto-completes when typing monster names. Because this is a small list you usually only need to type two letters.
* Remembers your list of players (and monsters) for next time.
* New Battle button clears away monsters and resets the round counter.
* Arranges the initiative list in columns when in landscape mode.
* Keep track of turn taken, delayed action (hold) and death.
* Adjust initiative value with long press then drag.
* Random NPC name generation.

Ratings and reviews

Could not possibly recommend this app more. It allows you to maintain a persistent party, clearing monsters between battles, adding monsters to the rotation as simply as name, quantity, and modifier. Easily adjust initiative mid round if needed, and auto roll initiative for all those pesky npcs the party is fielding. Simple, elegant, amazing. 10/5 stars, would pay for if it wasn't free.

The app only rolls initiative of 1d10, not d20? I don't understand that at all. There's no way to save initiative groups to prepare your combat before you meet up to save table time.

I love this app, I would give this app 5 stars if it only tracked whos turn it currently was. Like highlighted the player or monster and have a button for "next" or somthing. It's not that big of a deal, I just made a conscious effort to remember. Although I did forget once or twice. Lucky my players helped me out. I was going to use a lil flat mark, or a dime or somthing next time. Just wish it tracked current turns. Please consider adding this. :) thanks again for the awesome app!
