Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Web app does a great job showing where everything is on the map but it could go a step further and show current hit points and any conditions such as wounded or poisoned, etc. so allies can quickly see at a glance who might need healing or if a monsters is currently stunned or disarmed or poisoned, etc.

Describe the new feature you'd like

Allow user to apply conditions on any monster or character token on the board that would be displayed with a small icon. Perhaps if user hovers mouse over a magnified icon could be shown.

Also show current and max hit points so user can see if a single point will kill a monster or if it will automatically die of its wound when it next moves.

Definitely something I've thought about, but not really acted on yet. There are quite a few things holding me back from doing this (aside from the somewhat mammoth task that is the scenario creator) as some scenarios use custom rules which makes this task quite long, we have to take party level into account etc. As the Gloomhaven Helper already exists for this job, it's unlikely to be something that gets added for quite some time I think (though I agree it would be nice just to have everything on one screen) 🙂

What would be really cool would be to have the Gloomhaven Helper and your web app talk to each other.

hobnob commented 3 years ago

That would be pretty cool! 😄

A shed-ton of work to implement, but would be fun to do 😛

Would also be nice to show when a doom marker is placed on a monster

Just a note that the Gloomhaven Helper app is no longer available for download
