Track initiative, HP, conditions, lair actions and legendary resistances in one browser tab. Supports D&D 5e (2014) and D&D 2024 rules. No download, no account.
What is it
A D&D combat tracker is a tool that keeps the chaos of combat organised — initiative order, hit points, conditions, and special abilities, all in one place.
Combat Companion is a free, browser-based D&D combat tracker designed specifically for Dungeon Masters running live sessions. Unlike virtual tabletops, it focuses on one thing: tracking combat fast and accurately.
It supports both D&D 5e (2014) and D&D 2024 rules. Toggle between editions, or use per-mechanic overrides for mixed campaigns — useful if your group plays with some 2024 rules and some 5e rules at the same time.
Everything runs in your browser with no install required. Bookmark it on your phone for the table. Works offline after the first load. Free forever for all core combat features.
Features
Every feature a DM needs during combat — nothing that isn't.
Auto-sort by initiative roll, skip dead monsters, handle ties, hold turns and reactions — one click per turn.
Damage, healing, temp HP, AoE damage with resistance/immunity. Death saves for players.
All 14 standard conditions with rule text. Timed effects auto-expire each round.
Search 400+ SRD monsters with full statblocks and inline quick attacks.
Lair action initiative slot, legendary resistance tracking, concentration checks — automated.
Toggle between D&D 2014 and 2024 rulesets. Per-mechanic overrides for mixed campaigns.
