## What is SRD Combat?

Dive into the Ultimate Tactical RPG Experience

Bring the magic of tabletop roleplaying to life right in your hands! Whether you're a seasoned dungeon delver or new to the world of fantasy combat, our app delivers an authentic turn-based tactical combat experience strictly built on the updated 2024 5e ruleset. With deep party customization and three vastly different ways to play, the adventure never has to end.

Three Distinct Game Modes:

Skirmish Mode: Total Tactical Control Jump straight into the action! Set up custom battles on your terms using our integrated tiled map editor. Design the perfect combat arena, select your monsters, place tactical hazards, and test out new party compositions or character builds in self-contained, high-stakes tactical engagements.

Campaign Mode: Epic Progression Embark on a grand adventure! Guide your custom party through a series of hand-crafted story battles that persist and evolve. Watch your characters grow in power, manage their gear, and make strategic leveling choices as you conquer an interconnected series of increasingly challenging encounters.

Roguelite Mode: Endless Procedural Dungeons Test your endurance in a highly replayable survival mode! Delve into ever-changing, procedurally generated dungeons where no two runs are the same. Battle through randomized rooms, discover unpredictable loot, and face escalating threats. How far can your party survive before they fall, and what strategies will you adapt on your next run?

Core Features:

Authentic 5e Tactical Combat Immerse yourself in deeply strategic, grid-based encounters that faithfully recreate tabletop mechanics. Master the action economy with your movement, actions, bonus actions, and reactions. Utilize the environment, manage opportunity attacks, and outsmart your foes on the battlefield.

Deep Character Creation Build your ultimate adventuring party! Guide your heroes through a comprehensive, step-by-step character creation process. Choose your species, class, subclass, feats, and backgrounds, bringing diverse skill sets—from heavy martial fighters to true-to-the-book magic users—into your ranks.

Challenging Monster Encounters Face off against a diverse array of classic monsters in deeply challenging battles. Survive encounters against creatures ranging from low-level grunts to formidable epic monsters such as dragons, utilizing legendary actions, true-to-stats multiattacks, and recharge abilities that will put your party's combat tactics to the ultimate test.

Built-in Map Editor & Encounter Builder:

SRD Combat functions as a complete portable combat simulator for tabletop enthusiasts and DMs:
• Design custom tactical battle maps with custom terrain, obstacles, and scattered potions and items.
• Spawn monsters and enemy compositions to stress-test encounter balance and Challenge Ratings.
• Theorycraft character builds and test spell synergies before game night.

FAIR PLAY & ZERO PAY-TO-WIN
• No energy bars, timers, or pay-to-win microtransactions.
• Playable offline for tactical combat anytime, anywhere.
• Solo developer project dedicated to pure tactical gameplay and rules accuracy.
