Free D&D Combat Tracker

This Space is a free DnD combat tracker that runs an entire D&D 5e battle in the browser — initiative order, hit points, all fifteen conditions, and a round counter — with zero setup and no signup. It is not just a turn-order list: it manages the whole fight, from "roll initiative" to "the boss drops."

Features

• Initiative order, automatically sorted — highest to lowest, with tied initiatives kept in the order you added them so the board never reshuffles mid-combat. Adding a combatant mid-fight re-sorts the board while keeping the current turn pointed at the right creature.
• Hit point tracking — damage and healing per combatant, always clamped between 0 and max HP and displayed as 7/12. When a PC hits 0, the tracker auto-marks them Unconscious (death saves!); when an enemy hits 0, it marks them Down and dims the row. Healing above 0 clears both automatically.
• Every 5e condition, plus Concentrating — Blinded through Unconscious as toggleable chips on each row. Concentrating is included because forgotten concentration saves are the most common bookkeeping mistake at real tables.
• Rounds and turns — Next Turn advances down the order, wraps to the top, and increments the round; a Back button covers "wait, I had a bonus action."
• A built-in example encounter — one click loads a goblin ambush (four adventurers, three goblins, one goblin boss) so you can try every control before session night.
• Markdown export — one-click copy or a .md download of the full encounter table for Obsidian, Notion, or your campaign log.

How it works

Add each combatant with a name, side (PC, Ally, or Enemy), initiative, max HP, and optional AC. The battle board shows the sorted order with the current turn highlighted. Select any combatant to apply damage or healing, toggle a condition, or remove them. The round banner always tells you whose turn it is.

Worked example

Load the example encounter and Fenwick Thistledown (initiative 21) opens against Grubnash the goblin boss (17). Round 1: Sera shield-bashes Grubnash for 9 — his HP reads 12/21 — and toggles Prone onto his row. Round 2: a goblin skirmisher hits 0 and is automatically struck through and dimmed. Round 3: Korga drops the boss, the board shows three rows down, and the whole fight — round, order, HP, conditions — exports to Markdown in one click. The full narrated walkthrough is on the page below the tracker.

Privacy

Your encounter is saved to your browser's localStorage, on your own device, so a mid-fight tab refresh doesn't wipe the battle. Nothing is uploaded to any server, there is no account, and clearing your browser data clears the encounter. This tool is fully deterministic — no AI is involved; every behavior (sorting, clamping, auto-conditions at 0 HP) is fixed and predictable.

Unofficial fan tool

This is an unofficial fan tool. Dungeons & Dragons and D&D are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast LLC. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed, or sponsored by Wizards of the Coast. The tracker is rules-light by design and works with both D&D 5e (2014) and the 2024 (5.5e) revision — the condition list is shared between editions — as well as most other d20 systems.
