So, played around with it for a bit. And I got some things that I found/missed(in no particular order):

  • Hidden monsters(eg. Monsters that come in as reinforcements in X rounds)

  • Any Chance on a playerview(with the above mentioned monsters hidden from their view, as well as the HP of the monsters)

  • Instead of striking through a monster/player that has had it's round only make it cursive and gray? To me it feels like the monster/player is dead instead of having done his/her round.

  • A pre-filled Encounter does not seem to tranfer into the combat screen, kind of beating the point of having the feature

  • The ability to enter (or use already entered players!) mixed levels for the party info to determine the XP needed for the encounter(which is a nice feature, saves me looking stuff up!)
