I posted this over in the Homebrew forum, but I have a feeling I put it in the wrong place originally.  So, I'm reposting this here, hopefully some of the other DMs will be more incline to check this forum than the other and can give me some feedback on this Encounter Tracker/Calculator I've been working on.

I was a little bored last night and couldn't sleep and ended up making a pretty snazzy  Encounter Tracker and Calculator for DMs.

It keeps track of stuff like your PCs' and Monsters' HP, defenses, initiative, etc.  It calculates their bloodied values once you enter in  their max HP.  It even calculates their current HP and applies certain conditional formatting rules which allow you to easily see how everything in play is doing.

For example, if a monster's current HP is between its  bloodied value and 1, the current HP is displayed in Red.  If monster's current HP is equal to or less than 0, it is displayed in Red and strikethrough'd.

Here's a pic of an example encounter:

You can play with it here:

And download it in a number of different formats for yourself here:

Hope it helps your games!  Feel free to share it to others if you like it
If you find any bugs or you want me to try to add some other features I didn't think of, please let me know.

Thanks!

Is this compatible with Open Office?

Btw: That image host is possibly the worst image host I've experienced. In order to watch the image I have to enable scripts in the website, and then even THEN only half the image shows up when I click the zoom button.

Ah, I'll reupload the image to another one.

Yes, the excel file is compatible with open office.

I just noticed that one of my columns' calculations did not translate over from Numbers into Excel, so here's the 2nd version which should eliminate that bug:

Please keep me posted on feedback.  Thanks
