Flat footed creatures

It would be nice if during the first round of combat, if attacks defaulted to Flat-Footed AC until a character has moved. Since creatures can enter combat not flat footed (like after surprise rounds and such), I was thinking there could be a flat-footed check box in the initiative decision screen next to each creature that defaults to on at the beginning of a combat, but you could just uncheck it for any creatures not flat footed.

 

Expanding on this idea, since you're supposed to roll your initiative in the surprise round, maybe at the top of the initiative decision screen there could be a "Surprise Round" checkbox, and anyone that comes in flat-footed gets skipped in the initiative the first round.

 

Huh?

I'm not talking about the player doing it. I'm talking about making the computer default to flat-footed on attacks against creatures that haven't acted yet in a combat. That way the GM doesn't have to remember "Was it this orc or that one that already acted?"

 

PC's are surprised, monsters have their surprise round, THEN I actually start the combat mode. The monsters are not flat-footed in that case. I wasn't referring to the rules version of entering combat, but the program's combat mode.
