Minor suggestion -- show Initiative actual #

Submitted by Lucas on Wed, 2010-03-10 20:31.

A minor suggestion -- I've used VCC for a couple of sessions now -- one thing I find is that often my players ask me What # is someone's initiative count is (not just who is next or who follows who)

Would it be possible to have a column in the Combat Sequence window that shows that actual, final initiative #? Obviously the program calculates this # already, I'm just wishing to be able to see it.

Thanx!

Actually VCC currently uses

Submitted by Nebulorum on Thu, 2010-03-11 12:53.

Actually VCC currently uses the numbers and discards them. While it sure is possible to keep the number and show them. But why to you want to see them? What is the use case?

Look at #105: Adding combatants rolling initiative in the middle of a combat for some of the ideas I want to make. Notice that Ready Action and Delay change the order. This is why the numbers are discarded. Also note that some monster in Monster Manual 2 will work with VCC as it is now (namely Demogorgon and the Behir), since they have to appear more then once in the sequence table.
