Frequently asked questions

How are initiative ties handled?
Combatants are sorted by their rolled initiative total (d20 plus modifier). If two entries tie, most tables break it using the higher modifier or their own house rule — the tracker doesn't impose one for you.
Does this work for RPGs other than D&D?
Yes — it's a straightforward roll-d20-plus-modifier-and-sort tool, which matches the initiative mechanic used by D&D 5e and many other d20-based tabletop systems.
