- Starting from the main screen select the 'Parties' option.
- On the "Your Parties" page, select "Add Party".
- Replace the placeholder with your own name for the new party.
- Add players to the party using "Add Player". Input the name of the player and select their AC (Armor Class) from the slider.
- Once you have added all the players, hit "Save" in the top right hand corner. You should be able to see your new party on the "Your Parties" page. This party will be saved and will persist between sessions (and opening and closing the app) until you delete it.
- To update an existing party select it from the "Your Parties" page.
- From here you will be able to remove players from the party, add new ones, rename the party, and view the current players and their ACs.
- From the main page select "Encounters".
- On the "Your Encounters" page select "New Encounter".
- First you will be taken to the Monsters page where you will be able to add all the monsters in the combat.
Use the search bar to find the appropriate monster and the "+/-" buttons to add the correct number of monsters.
- Next is to input players or a party. If you already have a party premade select "add party" and select the name of your party. This will pull up a screen asking for initiatives of the players currently in the party.
Type in the initiative roles of each of the listed players and select done. You should now be able to see all the players in your party with their ACs and initiatives listed.
If you do not have a party predefined or want to add on players from outside the party you can add their name, AC, and initiative and hit "Add Player".
- You are now ready to start your combat! Hitting "Next" will take you to the main encounter view where you will be able to see your players and monsters and run the combat tracker.
Here's what a player looks like:
