Hi, loving maps beta version, makes my life as an inexperienced DM much easier than having loads of paper notes/more laptop screens open etc.
However, its frustrating when i use my homebrew creations that are unfairly penalised on their initiative and more often than not end up at the back of the order. I have tried upping their dex value as a few posts said that's how its calculated, but this doesn't change it even if i increase to 18. I found some code from another post (apology for no credit)
"Leap Into Action. This monster has an additional +3 bonus to its initiative rolls."
(edit: can't get the actual code to appear - nor post an image of it! )
This appears fine on the state block but doesn't seem to make any difference to the rolls - actually it disappears from the stat block when in maps.
Would appreciate any help, or a way to fudge it so to get a better order.
