    When I initiate a combat, everybody rolls initative and I have a nice screen with all the rolls where I can edit stuff. Once I validatem can I access this screen again ?

    If further along the fight, I add people to it (monsters in another room who heard about it and are joining for example) who were before left out of initiative, is there a way I can now what they rolled or alter it before they get added to the initiative list ?

    Not sure if I'm clear ... And for summoning monsters, is there a way to make sure they're at the init of their summoner ?

    Thanks for the help !

    I'm not sure about bringing up the same initiative screen.

    However, monsters joining a fight can enter at the top of the initiative in a given round (per the DMG)--if they were aware of the conflict but the party was not aware of them. For that, I know you can "Go now" from the individual d20Pro creature options under "Initiative".

    I tend to use the "Go now" any time someone or something needs to act immediately regardless of where they were in initiative.

    Also, this is a handy way to cause a summoned creature to act immediately upon joining the fray, on the initiative of the caster/summoner.

    After "Go now", the creatures remain at that point in the initiative.

    Yes, editing the inits would be handy. In the meantime, a person can "Go now" at the right times during an existing initiative and cause creatures to end up at the right place.

    I believe it is lost for good once you hit the green check to confirm.

    I would LOVE it if it preserved the actual numbers rolled and allowed editing - I consider this an area where even ancient old DMGenie beat D20pro.

    +1 as I copy the log file out to our forums so if anyone doesn't show for a game, they know what happened. Also, it breeds trust that the DM is not cheating or favoritism. Especially for Organized Play.

    Wow, old thread, but it's still relevant.

    Is there a way to access the initial initiative window?
    It seems like a basic function to be able to bring up and change that screen whenever a user wants and as is, it's an extremely tedious task to add in other combatants and such.
    Is there an add-on whether official or not, that can make that happen?

    Thanks

    I'd like to see the ability to reroll initiative every round if need with a check box in the options window under Judge tab.

    Thanks
