Initiative and condition tracker

[Loyal Bulldog]

Hi,

I've been searching for this but can't find it. It's a drag to keep switching between excel and my creatures in realmswork.

Or anybody got a better way of doing this?

Hi there.

One of our other products, Hero Lab (http://www.wolflair.com/index.php?context=hero_lab), has both initiative and condition tracking, as well as many MANY other features for building characters and monsters, running combats, and more.

Thanks for the link. I playing around with both programs now.

I was wondering, can I link monsters I have entered in Realmswork into the tactical console of Hero Lab?

If you already have the party open in HeroLab, then you can export the herolab portfolio from RW directly into that same HeroLab version so that you can mix the party and NPCs together.

There is also a handy "delete all enemies" in HeroLab to remove the monsters when the encounter is over.

If you check my YouTube channel or head over to the Realm Works in action thread to see the list of videos. There is two early in the series on working with monsters and creating custom monsters. Watch those.

Highly recommend Daplunks video. I run my games similarly, with RW and HL, although nothing on the scale of what Daplunk shows in his video. It is very nice to have an encounter topic with the HL file embedded so you can immediately integrate the foes with the party and run in the tactical console.
