Dice Rolls and Initiative

Showing all dice rolled is on the list of things to implement.

As for initiative order that is shown in the roster.

 

How would we edit the initiative order after it is finalized? I understand how to have a creature act now, delay, etc but lets say I wanted to adjust a character up a few initiative slots without forcing him to act now. How is this done?

 

The times I need to reorder init is usually when a character delays or prepares an action on their turn. so I done them and when they want to come back into action or their new init count would come up I just select them and have them go now (select and press g)

 

Allowing us to re-trigger the initiative screen would be much easier for users to modify initiative after combat has already begun.

Like I said before, I know I have the ability to delay a creature, or force a creature to go now... but that doesn't always solve the problem.

 

I'm bumping this old thread because I, too, would be delighted to have more detailed control over my characters' initiative. I am playing a game which has an extremely fluid and dynamic init system, and while having the basic controls to delay, go now, etc are helpful, I'm still being forced to track roughly 90% of changes by hand.

The most basic example: Let's say I have five players and five NPCs (not uncommon) in a fight. We roll initiative, and I get a good list of who rolled what. Player X is seventh on the list, and is not in a position to act immediately; he takes a "regroup" action so he'll be in good shape to attack when opportunity knocks. This action adds to his initiative (5 + INT mod), pushing him up the list.

So far, the init scores are fresh in my mind, and I can make a mental note saying "remember to let X 'go now' when it is between Y and Z's move." Of course, then Y opts to delay his move, NPC 1 also opts to regroup, and a readied action triggers for player Q. Within two rounds, the roster is nearly useless to me, and I'm forced to handle the numbers on a sheet of paper.

I'm not asking that the d20Pro team build me an elaborate initiative module that handles this particular game's convoluted options. However, being able to bring back up the initiative dialog that initially appears when starting combat would be an incredible boon. That simple list, with the actual numbers attached to it, would go a long way towards making things better for this game, and any others which feature any sort of dynamic initiative. I would love to see the ability to revisit that window without a fresh re-roll for all participants; it even already allows manual adjustments.

Thank you!
