It also allows you to shift people up or down in the initiative order and to tally XP at the end of the night.  <a href="http://www.pmw.org/nytmare/dnd/Initiator.xls" target="_blank">http://www.pmw.org/nytmare/dnd/Initiator.xls</a> I want to stress that my biggest fear thusfar had been D&D Insider and the electronic tools. I was worried about the delays and was really unhappy with a goodly chunk of the sneak peaks we were getting of the software. After spending a couple of days playing around with what they have so far and talking to Randy and Didier Monin, those fears are gone. I'm bummed that we don't have the toys to play with now, and it would have been great to have them ready when 4th Ed hit the shelves, but I would rather have a program that's solid, that got the time and energy it needed, and that works, than something that's half finished and rushed that was realeased with everyone knowing that it wasn't ready.</blockquote>
