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.
