| + | This script is designed to support the Greyhawk Initiative that was discussed in Wizards of the Coast's publicly available [http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/greyhawk-initiative Unearthed Arcana]. The following assumes you are at least somewhat familiar with this rule set, so please take a look at the rules before proceeding. | ||
| + | |||
| + | __TOC__ | ||
| + | == Setup == | ||
| + | Getting the players set up and creating all of the macros you need to use this script will take about 10-20 min. The goal of this script is to make the actual combat flow as smoothly as possible, so all of the work is front-loaded. This way you don't have to worry about anything once you actually start playing. You only have to do this setup 1 time per game. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Adding Players' Characters === | ||
There is currently a limit of 1 character per player and every player you have added must participate in every round of combat. So if a player is not present for a game, or a specific round of combat, you will have to remove them and add them back once they playing again. | There is currently a limit of 1 character per player and every player you have added must participate in every round of combat.

To remove a player use: <code>!gi removePlayer "[Player Name]"</code> | To remove a player use: <code>!gi removePlayer "[Player Name]"</code> | ||
| − | + | ==== Adding Monsters ==== | |
Monsters are super easy. All you have to do is add a turn for them to the turn tracker. You can do this by right-clicking the token and picking add turn. When you use the Start Monster Initiative and Next Monster Initiative it will go through the list of monsters that have a "turn" already in the initiative. This way you don't have to select through every single monster on the page every single time. | Monsters are super easy. All you have to do is add a turn for them to the turn tracker.

| − | + | === Creating the Macros === | |
This is the long part. You will have to create about 20 macros for your and your players. Depending on what rules you are using there will be more. I name all of the macros starting with "GI-" so that all of the macros will automatically be sorted together, to help with organization. You can name them whatever you want, the name doesn't matter. If you add all of the macros to your macro bar you can then rename and color-code them for easy use. | This is the long part. You will have to create about 20 macros for your and your players.

| − | + | ==== Player Macros ==== | |
| − | You can have the players create their own macros, or create them yourself and make them visible to everyone. You will probably want to make them yourself and share them, to make sure that everything is set up correctly. The only time I would suggest the players making their own is if you are using the version of the rules where an attack's dice is based off the weapon damage, so you would have a different macro for every single weapon. | + | You can have the players create their own macros, or you can create them yourself and make them visible to everyone.
