When I add NPCs from a prepared encounter, the HP box doesn't want to show up. (It works fine if I create an NPC from scratch.)

Thanks, fixed it.

Also note that there is now a proper feedback channel at Uservoice.

It allows everyone to report bugs, suggest new features and vote for feature requests.

Just deployed a new version which adds

• Team coloring: PCs are highlighted with blue background and NPCs with red.
• Turn tracking: There is a panel that shows the current round number and the character whose turn it is. The current character is also highlighted on the character table, and there are buttons for switching to the next or previous character. You can also press Enter for next and Shift + Enter for previous char.

Both are optional features which you can toggle from the preferences (which requires login).

I'm not completely satisfied with the highlight colors or the look & feel of the turn panel. Suggestions?

Turn Tracking looks great!

I added another sugestion to the feedback forum...

Thanks @IllusiveDreams commented on Twitter that the current character highlight could stand out more. What do you think?

As I commented it, how to solve the automated vs. saved condition UX wise?

Now there's an idea!

Now that turn tracking is there, perhaps it could be listed after the condition, when it began as an option.
EG: RND-1, PC-1
The condition began in round one on the PC 1's turn. This way the DM can remove when it's time is up.
Not too much automation required...

Good idea, added

Also tweaked the current character highlight a little to make it more prominent, and there is also now an option to import Character Builder files when adding/editing a PC.

Multiuser support is next.

Yes, I had great difficulties finding suitable emoticons (I'm no artist...). Anyone want to draw better ones?
