Description
Combat Assistant, used for tracking initiative and status effects, intended for use with the Dungeons and Dragons rules set (4th Edition), although some users have noted its useful for previous editions and other role playing systems, e.g. Pathfinder.Ever got confused by trying to keep track of status effects, hit points, healing surges, etc. in a game. Well, be confused no more with this versatile app for keeping track.
Useful for DMs who need to keep track of player defenses as well as hit points of their monsters. Will also automatically apply ongoing damage and check with you whether your creatures have made their saving throws. Monsters can also be pre-created and then are saved automatically to keep the flow of the game going without having to pause to add details of new creatures to the combat.
Useful for players to keep track of an entire party's details, including hit points, healing surges, temporary hit points and status effects.
Portraits can also be assigned to creatures, so you can take a photo of each player using your phone's built in camera and then quickly assign those photos to each creature.
Tutorial mode also available to show you the features of the application.
Tablet users please note that you must have an internet connection available the first time you run the app to obtain a license. Once you've run it once you can then use it offline until the next update.

Great app! Amazingly useful for my 4e game. Really helped speed combat along and allowed me to easily track hp of all my players and monsters.

Love the app The only issues i have are because i am trying to use the app to run 2 different games. Some kind of switching capability so that i can select which game would be awesome or create a new 'unlinked' game with different characters monsters etc 8-)

FANTASTIC tool for initiative and status tracking BEST initiative and status tracker on Android, hands down. This is SO close to a 5 star app, but could use a couple ergonomic-tweaks. (using Transformer Prime) Couple things on my wish list for this app though: 1) Buttons could be spaced a little better, esp for tablets 2) Status effects don't seem to be savable for import/export 3) This may be too much to ask, but a wifi network link to other devices or even a networked PC so that players could also use their tablets to access the initiative list and apply status effects, so that all the tapping was not on the DMs shoulders. Of course such value-added awesomeness would have to be properly compensated. But of course, by then you'd also have 4x paid users in each group! ;)

Perfect I am very impressed with this app. It does exactly as described and the developer is active in maintaining it. This is also the only RPG Assistant I've seen that can be used with multiple games based on the customizable interface - not just D&D. Keep up the good work.

Sweet app for D&D It takes a little bit of set-up, but is really useful especially for remembering status effects that have been applied.

Very Useful It took a little getting used to, but it has really helped speed up combat. Especially once I entered all the conditions from powers for the players. The reminder for saving throws was a big help. I wish it had a tablet layout, though.

Very usefull My group loves this app. It speed up combat round, keeps effect duration with a simple click.. No more confusion if an effect is ended or not. Must buy for D20 players.
