Manage Encounters
Run combat encounters effectively during your session.
Viewing Monster Stats
Monster stats live in the main window, which stays on the campaign dashboard while the DM Map window is open. On the module dashboard, click any monster in the Dangers panel to open the Monster Stats Panel:
- Full stat block
- Ability scores and saves
- Actions and attacks
- Special abilities
The panel opens alongside the dashboard, so your main screen becomes the reference screen while the map runs in its own window.
Tip: Double-click a monster token in the DM Map window to select that monster in the dashboard automatically.
Monster Quick List
The Dangers panel lists all monsters in the module:
- Quantity - Number of each monster (e.g., “3×”)
- Name - Monster name (custom display name if one is set)
Click to select and view stats.
Adding PCs to the Map
Click the Add PCs button in the DM Map window’s map toolbar to place all campaign player characters on the current map.
Note: Monster tokens are placed in Token Setup — click the map’s card in the module dashboard’s Maps section. The dashboard stays available in the main window during a session, so you can place additional monsters there mid-session.
Moving Tokens in Combat
- Drag tokens to new positions
- Tokens snap to the grid
- Movement is visible on the player display (if open)
Token Visibility
Toggle token visibility to:
- Hide enemies before combat starts
- Reveal monsters during surprise rounds
- Show reinforcements arriving
Right-click a token and select Hide from Players / Show to Players (or select the token and press H).
Tips
- Open monster stats before combat starts
- Track HP in the module’s Play Notes document (Documents panel on the module dashboard)
- Use display names and notes to distinguish monsters by room/area
- Position hidden tokens before players enter areas
