Is there a general consensus on what's the best program that allows DMs to track things in combat -- initiative, HP, other such things? I think something like this would vastly help me smooth and quicken the pace of dragging combat encounters, but I can't find very many and I don't want to end...

Anyone have any more critiques on powers specifically? Any overpowered/underpowered? Would be very much obliged.

I'm mostly done with the heroic tier (haven't done much in the way of Level 9 and 10 powers), and the general class outline. I've changed the class name to "Witch," and changed some things up (including advice incorporated from here). I was wondering if anyone could take the time to look over...
