I think the simpler, the better: just have a large font toggle or something. That should make it most flexible. However, this doesn't address the third and fourth request, and the fourth is the one that's most important to me, personally. The third one is simply an improvement of the UI. More...

That is correct. Further, adding bloodied as an imposable condition has the benefit of allowing players to run this tracker without needing to know the HP of an enemy (there is a workaround already possible, but it's annoying).

Also, j3x, if you could add an option to track damage inflicted instead of HP, that would be great. Again, I plan on using this on the player side of the screen, so it's easier for players to review the damage they have inflicted at a glance. For my own reference, here's the url that we're...

Cool. I'm gonna try to use this with my group at some point soon. More feature requests: Bloodied as an imposable condition. bigger font sizes, especially for the mouseover explanation of imposed effects. I plan to use this on the player side of the screen, so lots of people need to be able to...

We denote save ends with (s) and otherwise use the initiative count that effects end on in parenthesis. If the save has a -2 penalty, it's (s-2). Effects that end at the beginning of someone's turn merely end at the end of the prior initiative count. Effects that only last "once" or until the...

This is probably just me, but I find this confusing. I don't know of any power that uses one attack ROLL against multiple targets. If there are many targets, there are as many rolls.

If this were RAW, the fact that the marked penalty applies attacks that do not include the defender is a bit confusing. The word include indicates being part of a greater group. If the attack targets a greater group, it must mean that the attack is not each individual attack roll. At my tables...

Just to be clear, at the bottom of the NPC's description, I'd add something like: And then, in an appendix, give defenses, HP, attack bonuses, and average damage for each of those. You can probably use the slyfluorish tables (with attribution) for the 4e stuff. In 3.5, those would be experts -...

I remember trying it a while ago, Balesir, and it certainly works well for a DM. My problems were that I wanted initiative and conditions (and potentially damage inflicted) tracked on the other side of the screen (therefore without knowing much of monster data), and that I couldn't figure out...

Correct.

Also, bloodied is an imposable condition.

I take it back. Now that I've tried it, the fact that the star adds a condition underneath the initiative line is quite useful. The conditions need durations, though. The normal durations in 4e are: once until the beginning of X's turn until the end of X's turn save ends until the end of the...

That's really not very useful. I'd eliminate the the initiative column (once you have it sorted, you don't need it anymore), and the star (and other icons at the end). Squish all the other ones tight, and leave lots of room for effects. Color code effects to determine duration at a glance (or...

As others have noted, he can only use one immediate action between turns, and Dimensional Vortex is an encounter power, so it can only be used once per encounter. To answer your first question, closing the window to after you declare the attack but before you reveal the dice roll is...

I've been looking for a 4e condition, effect and init tracker for a very long time, and I got my hopes up when I saw this. But I don't see a space for conditions on the ONLY image on the site. It seems like the bloodied condition is tracked via HP, so players can't run it either. Sadly, I don't...

The problem with granting class and level to NPCs is that it will not be edition neutral, even for D&D. My suggestion is to give NPCs a general description as to capabilities, even going insofar as ranking them if the character has a real reputation. For example, a guard may be described simply...

This is a very good idea, and I support it fully. If there isn't a player that's more in need of a job than others, make the controller do it.

Excellent, I don't know of. One solution to distracted players that I would like to see experimented with is replacing monster attacks with "defensive" rolls. Subtract 10 (or 9? whatever gets the same exact odds) from each defense, and use that as a bonus to a d20 roll, the target number of...

Good work, Callahan. Obvs, the DM can still make it work any way he wants, particularly to instill a sense of drama.

Glad to read of your successes. Hope they all work out, and you have to pick and choose your games!
