1 year ago The problem I see with this is that, with the initiative order tokens out of order, it becomes more difficult to quickly and easily interpret player summon AI focus later in the round.
I could see this as being useful if monster tokens reorder themselves appropriately as they are dimmed (once they have taken action that round)
When revealing monsters (most commonly by entering a new room/reading a new section), the Frosthaven rules state: Check the initiative value for the sets of all added monsters. If their initiative value comes after the acting figure’s initiative value, their initiative order token should be in its normal position; they will act in normal initiative order. If their initiative value comes before the acting figure’s initiative value, move or insert their initiative order token after the acting figure’s token; they will act next. When multiple new monster sets would act next, order their tokens based on initiative values.
It would be helpful if this was reflected in the app—if monster groups with earlier initiative than the active player were moved to act after the active player when being revealed, and if there was a way to distinguish the existing monsters in that group who already took their turn from the newly-added ones.
