Keeps crashing

It worked great for the first five minutes, now it crashes every time I click the “Charge!” button to start combat. If it didn’t crash, I’d give it five stars

Kinda Limited

There’s a very helpful tutorial and it does battles very well. It keeps initiative, generates wild magic responses, critical fails, and critical successes, and has very simple yet descriptive pictures for each character. The main bad part is that there isn’t anything else to do with it. You also cannot change the health, that I know of, of each character and enemy. I think that the developers should either change the name to an initiative tracker, or try to add in more features. I know how hard it is to code many things and design a lot of aspects, but it would be very helpful and nice if you could add a few things, like a place to keep your campaign plans, or a way to keep track of your NPC’s and villains, or even just a dice roller! Other that it being fairly limited, it is a very nice initiative tracker and I will most definitely be using it for my DND campaign.
