How does the tracker break initiative ties?

When two combatants roll the same initiative, the one with the higher Dexterity modifier acts first, which is the standard 5e tie-breaker. If they also share a Dexterity modifier, the tool keeps the order you added them in, so you can decide ties yourself.

Does it advance rounds automatically?

Each press of Next turn moves the active marker to the next combatant. When it passes the last combatant it loops back to the top and increases the round counter by one, so you always know which round you are in.

Can I track hit points and damage?

Yes. Each combatant has current and maximum HP. Type an amount and press Damage to subtract it or Heal to add it, clamped between 0 and the maximum. A combatant reduced to 0 HP is dimmed and flagged as down.

How do I note conditions like prone or stunned?

Every combatant has a free-text conditions field where you can record statuses such as prone, poisoned, or concentrating, along with durations if you like. It is a quick scratchpad so you do not lose track mid-fight.

Is my encounter data saved or uploaded?

No. The tracker runs entirely in your browser and keeps everything in memory for the current session, so nothing is sent anywhere. Reloading the page clears the encounter, which is handy for starting a fresh fight.

D&D Initiative Tracker

Run cleaner D&D 5e combat with a fast, no-login initiative tracker. Add your players and monsters, let the tool sort the turn order, then advance rounds while tracking HP and conditions for everyone at the table.

How it works

Add each combatant with an initiative roll, a Dexterity modifier, and HP. The list sorts by initiative from highest to lowest. On ties, the higher Dexterity modifier goes first, matching the 5e tie-breaker; any remaining ties keep the order you entered them.

The Next turn button moves an active highlight down the list. When it passes the last combatant it wraps to the top and increments the round counter, so durations are easy to follow. Damage and healing are clamped between 0 and a combatant’s maximum HP, and anyone at 0 HP is dimmed as down.

Tips and example

Pre-roll monster initiative and add them all before play; you can group identical monsters as “Goblin A”, “Goblin B” to track them separately.
Use the conditions field for timed effects, for example restrained (save end) or concentrating: hold person, so nothing slips through the cracks.
After the fight, press Reset to clear the round and turn counters while keeping the roster, or reload the page to start a brand-new encounter.
