GM combat sequence tool
I'm thinking of an app, spreadsheet or webpage that would hold Name, ST, hits, fatigue, adjDX, armor (front and back), and notes (Fencer: -1 to be hit by melee from the front, +2 DX for thrown weapons, etc.) for a dozen or so figures at a time.
This would then cycle each turn highlighting who is to act next and record stun and knockdown effects as these happen. Does anybody have something like this?

Re: GM combat sequence tool
I often use a excel spreadsheet while playing to do exactly this

Re: GM combat sequence tool
I just use some homemade counters to track HP, player states and etc.

Re: GM combat sequence tool
My brain has been programmed to track these things since 1981 or so.

Re: GM combat sequence tool
I find a scrap piece of paper or index card matched up with a writing implement works best. Capture the base DX of those involved, know the common modifiers, adjust real-time as needed. Simple, fast, effective.

Re: GM combat sequence tool
You can keep track of one character's ST and fatigue with the "TFT Helper" app available for iPhone. I don't know if there is a version of it for Android.
