I've been using this app for a bit, and I really like it, but I'd like a few things to change. These changes would knock this from "pretty, but not particularly useful" straight up to "won't run without", at least for me.
Character Interface
1) Fields should all start out empty. Empty fields should not be visible except when editing. For example, if my character has no PP, I shouldn't see the PP note in the combat pane. If I have no Strength score entered, I don't wanna see it. Et cetera.
2) Monsters should be organized differently than PCs, perhaps in a manner that emulates the MM3 monster setup. Also, in powers there should be a recharge option, instead of only AED.
These changes would clean up the viewing interface. I've been using this in conjunction with printed monsters, and all I have on the app are stats that change - HP and encounter, daily, or recharge powers. All that other stuff just gets in the way, though there should be a way to include it if I want it.
Encounters
1) There needs to be a way to use a single monster multiple times, preferably with a number automatically appended to each of that monster's names. As-is, to use mulyiples of anything, I have to manually create each one. (EDIT: Just realized this is how it works. Damn.)
2) I'd like a means to set the initiative without rolling. Perhaps the creatures should be movable like in the initiative pane?
Combat
1) A creature should be automatically bloodied if its hp is set to equal or lower than its bloodied value.
2) I think the tracking and info views should be combined - use the tracking view, but allow creatures to be viewed as in the info view. Switching between them just seems like an unnecessary button-push.
3) Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem to be a way to close a combat beside shutting down the app or opening a different one. That should be changed.
Anyways, I just think these will up the utility of this app a ton.
Thanks!
EDIT: Oh, and it'd be nice if defenses and abilties were organized as in 4e materials; defenses have always been AC/F/R/W, but in the App it's all jumbled. Abilities are listed in the 3e order, too, but in 4e they're usually listed either with the Con and Dex position swapped, or SDW (linebreak) CIH, such that there are three columns of scores matched up by defense pairs. It's a minor complaint, but it's a little annoying when entering data. :/
