Firefox D&D Combat Tracker
I’ve been working on a javascript combat tracker for D&D. I like to think of it as an interactive DM screen, akin to the piece of scrap paper I usually keep handy for writing down health totals and such. It features an intuitive drag-and-drop interface to reorganize things as you please, such as by initiative order, and a method of saving the characters and their layouts (limited by the JavaScript that powers it; it requires copying a text box that pops up, and pasting into a defaults.js which comes with the software). There’s also a method of adding custom rolls to characters, such as spot checks.
I hope you and your readers will find it helpful!
Play with it online at http://www.asmor.com/scripts/CombatTracker/combattracker.html
Or download it to your computer from http://www.asmor.com/scripts/CombatTracker/combatTrackerv0.1.zip
Unfortunately, it only runs on Firefox.
