Run combat smoothly. Never lose track of whose turn it is. Party Initiative Tracker keeps turn order clear during tabletop RPG combat — whether everyone shares one iPad or each player uses their own phone. SET UP YOUR PARTY Create a new party or join one with a code. Build the roster on a single device, or let each player add their own characters from their phone. Save characters as presets and bring them back for your next session. ROLL INITIATIVE The DM starts an initiative call.

Track optional health, drop characters out of combat mid-fight, and keep rounds organized without juggling paper or spreadsheets.
