Initiative Tracker Plus

A community fork of Initiative Tracker for Obsidian — track initiative, HP, conditions, and XP during TTRPG combat encounters.

This fork is maintained independently and includes community enhancements on top of the original plugin.

Features

• Add and remove creatures from encounters
• Track HP, AC, initiative, and status conditions
• Calculate encounter difficulty and XP by level or challenge rating
• Award encounter XP directly to players
• Group identical creatures and set display names
• Support dice rolls for random creature counts
• Sort by initiative automatically
• Save and load multiple encounters in encounter code blocks
• Integration with Fantasy Statblocks and Dice Roller

Installation

From Obsidian Community Plugins

1. Open Settings → Community plugins.
2. Browse and search for Initiative Tracker Plus.
3. Install and enable the plugin.

Manual installation

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the latest release.
2. Create a folder named initiative-tracker-plus in your vault's .obsidian/plugins/ directory.
3. Copy the three files into that folder.
4. Enable the plugin under Settings → Community plugins.

Quickstart

1. Open a note where you want to track an encounter.
2. Create a code block with the language set to encounter:

```encounter
name: Example
creatures:
 - 3: Goblin
```

3. Add creatures by name, dice roll, or bestiary entry.
4. Click the play button to start tracking initiative.

Grouped creatures

Copies of the same creature can be tracked as one combatant:

```encounter
name: Goblin Patrol
creatures:
  - creature: Goblin
    count: 6
    grouped: true
```

A group has one initiative and one pooled HP total. Its surviving count drops whenever the pool crosses a member's HP threshold. The DM view shows the current outgoing damage multiplier (for example, ×4 for four survivors); this is informational and does not multiply damage entered against the group. The player view shows only the surviving count. Conditions, AC changes, and other controls apply to the whole group.
