Improved Initiative 3.0 Preview now available on the Dev Preview

Jared Beaulieu

Take that back, one creature with mythic actions has 3, but all the rest have two. But the aspect dragons still have the most text for their mythic actions.

Jared Beaulieu

Maybe either of the aspects, but just off the top of my head I think everything with mythic actions only has two mythic actions as of now

Evan Bailey

Got it, thanks for the heads up. I'll grab a digital copy and take a look when I can. Which is the most complex new statblock with mythic actions?

Jared Beaulieu

Yep, would definitely appreciate mythic actions being implemented since the newest source book just added 13 monster stat blocks that have mythic actions

Evan Bailey

Thanks for the kind words Matt, much appreciated!

Evan Bailey

Not likely to add it at this point, but the project is open to PRs. Thanks!

Evan Bailey

Not necessarily, but it might be nice for me to generalize the types of actions in StatBlocks since you might also do Bonus Actions in their own section. I'll think about this.

Jared Beaulieu

Just curious, but are you planning on adding/working on mythic actions?

Matt

Amazing stuff. This tool is incredible! Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Evan! Thank you very much for your work, the tracker is amazing! I was wondering if there are any plans on adding damage breakdown to post-combat statistics. Like, who dealt the damage to whom and how much. Sorry if this was asked before, couldn't find it. Thanks again and take care!

Glad to hear that! Thank you! 💓

Hi Neurax, thanks for the kind words! I've been doing better recently, changed anxiety medication which has made an improvement. The 3.0 release is nearly feature complete, there's a bit more stabilization work that needs to happen. Commit history here: https://github.com/cynicaloptimist/improved-initiative/commits/development The version with these commits is always available on the dev preview.

I hope you are doing okay and everything is/will work out for you and your loved ones. Take the time you need. We all like what you are doing and can't wait for the new versions, but you should prioritize IRL first. Just keep us updated so we know what is happening. ^_^

Evan Bailey

BTW, if you want the very latest updates you can follow the project here: https://github.com/cynicaloptimist/improved-initiative I got a couple of commits done the last few days that I'd been chewing on for a long time.

Evan Bailey

No, DND Beyond will just be statblocks and character sheets.

Jared Beaulieu

Do you mean like off dnd beyond?

Evan Bailey

Yes, I'm adding a feature to mass export/import anything in your library.

Jared Beaulieu

Just wondering, but are you planning on adding a feature to import spells?

Evan Bailey

Hi Ian, thanks for the kind words! I'm so glad the app has improved your games. Take care!

I seriously love this program. I use it for live and online games. I can't begin to describe how much easier it has made DMing easier! Thank you so much.

Evan Bailey

Thanks for the note! I've been really sidetracked the last couple of months since posting this update, but I'm hoping to get back on this project soon. Busy at work and at home with our kid. I've been having some pretty serious burnout this year. Not to worry- this update hasn't been abandoned, it's just slow going.

Victor Navone

Been kind of quiet around here. Any idea when the big update with drop? I'm really looking forward to the new features, and hoping the Statblock Editor fields will be reordered to match standard statblocks.
