An online D&D 5e initiative tracker that runs the whole fight

It is a full combat tracker, not just a turn tracker: hit points, conditions, and saves stay current, and every monster brings its own actions ready to roll, whichever edition your table runs.

At the table

What it tracks while you run the fight

The turn order is just the first column. The fight’s bookkeeping fills the rest, so you are not running a second tally on paper.

Turn order

Initiative, sorted

Add the monsters and your party, type the numbers your players call out, and the order falls into place. Copies of the same monster are numbered so goblin three never gets confused with goblin five.

The bookkeeping

Hit points and conditions

Damage, healing, and temporary hit points change only when you apply them; no hit point moves on its own. Conditions ride on the creature that has them, in plain sight on its row rather than on a sticky note.

The monsters

Actions off the statblock

Each creature carries its own actions, attack bonus and damage included. Press one and the roll lands in the feed for you to read out.

Start the fight.

The bestiary is loaded and the roster empty from the first click. There is nothing to set up before round one.

Questions

Before you open it.

Is this D&D combat tracker free?

Free. There is no download; the browser you already have runs it.

Do I have to sign up before I can use it?

No. Open it and start adding creatures. Tonight’s fight is kept in the browser you opened it in, so a stray refresh loses nothing. An account is for later: it carries your characters, homebrew, and saved encounters to other devices.

Does it work as an initiative tracker for a big fight?

That is what it is built around. Forty goblins do not slow it down: copies come numbered, the list stays sorted, and the round counter moves with the turn.

Who applies the damage, me or the app?

You do, every time. The app rolls the monsters’ side and shows you the number; putting it on a character is a press you make. That is the rule the whole thing is built on.

Which edition does it run, 2024 or 2014?

Whichever your table runs. One switch in settings moves the whole app, so the creature you add next comes off that edition’s bestiary with its own actions. A monster you built yourself keeps the edition you gave it.
