Side Initiative

A Foundry VTT module for the 2014 DMG side initiative variant rule.

What it does

• Rolls one unmodified `1d20` per side.
• Can optionally roll every combatant at combat start and use a weighted side average instead.
• Rerolls tied side totals until the tie breaks.
• Keeps combatant side assignments on combatant flags.
• Adds combat tracker controls for side rolling and editing.
• Integrates with MidiQOL, CPR and Gambits Premades.

Usage

1. Install the module.
2. Enable the module in the world.
3. Open a combat and click the side initiative dice button in the combat tracker (DO NOT ROLL USING THE REGULAR BUTTONS!).
4. If you want weighted combat starts, set `Initiative method` to `Weighted combatant average` in the module settings.
5. Use the editor to reassign combatants if the defaults need adjustment.
6. Use the crown button in the combat tracker row to assign a commander for a side.
7. Press `Enter` to advance the active side when you are the GM or the current commander.

Commander changes default to side owners and can be restricted to the GM in the module settings.
