Try it out in your D&D games and your feedback will be used to make this the best it can be!" D&D Beyond has just announced the alpha development version of a combat tracker. You can track monsters, initiative, and access quick reference information. This functionality is similar to that offered by [URL='https://roll20.net']Roll20[/URL] and [URL='https://www.fantasygrounds.com/home/home.php']Fantasy Grounds[/URL].

The Alpha version is available to DDB subscribers. "We have been using the Combat Tracker in our home games for a few weeks, and although it is certainly not in a finished state yet, we experienced enough value that we have decided to go ahead and release it now - even in its unfinished state - to both 1) let subscribers gain some of that value and 2) get feedback as early as possible. Please keep in mind that this is not a finished product, and we invite subscribers to help us make it the best it can be! [B]Who can use the Combat Tracker?[/B] All D&D Beyond Subscribers. The Combat Tracker is in full active development right now. We will be allowing early access to NEW Combat Tracker features to our Subscribers first, to prove out concepts and new functionality. We took the same approach with the Alpha version of the Encounter Builder with much success. This delivery method allows us to digest feedback in bite sized chunks and perform testing to figure out the best user experience possible. [B]What is a Development Alpha?[/B] The Development Alpha of the Combat Tracker allows us to test features and user experience.
