Power Tracking

Submitted by fnwc on Thu, 2009-04-02 10:51

Another idea might be to create a very simple power editor tied to monsters so that the DM can track which powers have been used or not. It only needs to be as simple as a name field with a status, and two actions, "used" or "available" -- although it would be cool to differentiate between powers that recharge.

This might help with the tracking of all of daily/encounter/rechargable powers that many of the high level monsters have.

Good Idea

I want to implement this, actually to me it would be great to have the entire stat block of the monster on VCC. To do this some changes to the monster editor are needed. I'm currently working on this. I want to avoid having to write to much data on the monster.

What I hand planed was a small stat block where you can:

  1. Mark a power as spent
  2. Reset the power
  3. Track action point usage

    This could be useful for both PC and monster.

    I'd also like to and a remainder on the end of the turn to check for power resets. Do you think this goes in line to your idea?

    4. Firstly, great app!

    Yeah, exactly what I meant.

    You might have an option to choose recharge values (e.g., 4, 5, 6) so that the VCC automatically rolls at the beginning of the monster's turn for recharge. Typically I have no problem letting VCC roll any of the monster stuff, it usually saves time.
