The Combat Pad initiative tracker is the ultimate tool for managing combat in your favorite roleplaying game. It is a wet- and dry-erasable board with a steel core, so the included magnets stick right to it! It is portable—about the size of a sheet of paper—so you can take it anywhere you're gaming.

Use it to quickly and easily track turns. Write the PC's, enemies', and NPC's names on the player magnets using a wet- or dry-erase marker, then place them in initiative order. Use the blue magnets for PCs, black magnets for enemies, and green magnets for NPCs. Hash marks label positions 0–25, making it easy to put the magnets in the correct initiative order. When the order changes, simply slide the magnets to their new places.

The turn indicator magnet points to whose turn it is; never accidentally skip someone again! As the round progresses, slide the turn indicator to point to the next player; it's now that player's turn. At the end of the round, the turn indicator will point to the next round magnet.

The next round magnet serves as a reminder to move the round indicator magnet. The round indicator points to the current round number, so you'll always know exactly which round it is! Write which round spells and effects expire in the notes section of the Combat Pad (e.g. "haste ends round 10"). Additionally, the notes section is a great place to record damage or anything else necessary to make combat run smoothly.

For tactical groups, delaying and readying guides make it simple to synchronize attacks—enemies beware! Slide the player magnet to the proper guide and avoid the confusion common with other initiative tracking methods.

    Each Combat Pad includes:
  • 1 magnetic wet- and dry-erase board
  • 2 combat round indicators
  • 8 player character magnets
  • 4 non-player character magnets
  • 8 enemy magnets
  • 2 next round indicators
  • 2 active turn indicators

Need more magnets? Check out the Extra Magnet Pack!

We have another press run on the way, but we're not yet sure when they'll arrive.

Any new word on this yet? Last I heard was "late June".

Thanks.

Phil Lacefield Jr. (Contributor),

THey had some production delays, so three weeks or so have been added to the date. We may - MAY - have a couple of cases worth to sell at Origins, but I'm not holding my breath.

Rhothaerill,

Mad Scientist Final avatar

Thanks Phil.

I guess my group will have to wait a bit longer for it. I unveiled a few Gamemastery items at my last session and told them I'd have the combat pad soon. Oh well. :)

Joshua Wos,

So if they MAY have them by Origins which is early July, then we could expect them mid July?

I got my Combat pad at Origins.

I really like it.

The DM used it during the Dungeon Delve, and then he didn't use it at his own adventure later in the day, and i could see what a difference it made.

I much prefer it to writing notes and figuring out where I wrote the current initiative.

Im happy with it. I think my players will be happy with it to, not being skipped

In a word: probably.

We did get two cases overnighted from China for the show, and sold quite a few. They were advance copies, though, so we won't have the main haul of them till, well, whenever they get here. But I can now state that they HAVE been printed, and I HAVE held one in my meaty mitts :)

Can't wait to see this back in stock. I'll definatly be ordering one. The GameMastery line of products is fantastic keep the great stuff coming.

The sad thing is that even with the combat pad, i still skip players sometimes! OOps! I'm lucky they love me.

Seriously,it's a great product that has improved my game and I'm sorry others are having to wait to get it.

Festivus,

I get around this problem by delegating the running of combat order to a player. It allows for me to concentrate more on what tactics my evil minions of death are going to use. The side benefit is I never skip anyone.

The shipment that arrived at Origins consisted of two cases that were overnighted directly from China. The bulk of the shipment should be hitting our warehouse at any moment.

I agree with Vic. I understand you wanted some to show off at the trade stand, but thats just even more frustrating for those of us with it ordered an age ago on the website and are still waiting for them to arrive!

Phil Lacefield Jr. (Contributor),

I come bearing NEWS!!

We have just heard that the shipment is in customs here in the port of Seattle as we speak. With any luck, it is scheduled to be delivered to our warehouse this Wednesday morning. If that's the case, then Thursday the Big Brown Truck should be rolling out of here well laden with Combat Pads, on their way to your eager mitts!

So now's the time, folks - if you haven't yet preordered one, and want one fast, get your order in now!

It should take maybe two weeks after we get them in... but, you know, living in Australia, probably longer for you.

Any news? are the pads going out today?

Robert Schaefer,

Fish avatar

How does stock look. I went by the route of asking my local store to put me on the waiting list since I like to buy from them occasionally. If I don't get one by the end of the month because the store doesn't order them timely from the distributer am I out of luck for another 6 months?

This is all hypothetical. I have no clue what the local store is doing to get some in.

prcrash wrote:

We've got confirmation that they will be delivered tomorrow, so they'll go out at the beginning of next week.

We'll have plenty, so if your retailer places an order, he should have no problem getting it filled in a couple of weeks.

Raymond Brooks (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber),

Do you plan to have a good supply of them at GenCon?

I'm up in Canada and if I order a Combat Pad now, I'm unlikely to get it before GenCon anyway so my plan is to pick it up while I'm there and have a chance to meet you folks.

Looks like an outstanding product by the way. :)

I have an order pending for a Critical Hit Deck -- can it be shipped with this, and maybe save me some money? do I have to e-mail someone in particular for this request?

edit - I just mailed customer service. I just hope it can be done. Thanks in advance.

Please ship mine already! I really want to have this by next saturday (18 aug), and since I'm in Puerto Rico, i know it's going to take longer than usual. if it's not out by Monday, I'm out of luck.

Please hear my plea! :)

Extra Magnet Packs Ordered! Along with a few other items I've been putting off ordering.

I just got my combat pad in last night, and I love it. The only thing that seemed odd is that I thought the pad itself, not the magnets, was going to be rigid, not floppy. It feels like some sort of soft plastic, instead of what I thought it was (from the description), a steel core with the printed stuff on top. I was thinking of actually gluing the piece of cardboard that comes in the sleeve to the back of it to make it less floppy. Anyway, thanks for a great product! I'll be using it with my group this Saturday.

Robert Schaefer,

My local store would only tell me that the distributer doesn't have any idea when they will have some. Thus I've ordered one from here today.

Dances With Worgs,

Woot, mine just got delivered to my apartment, along with some dice and the goblin t-shirt

Now if I can only come up with an excuse to leave the office early, so I can get home and play with my loot...

Robert Schaefer,

Ok I see my order is still pending. I wish I knew what that meant.

blackotter,

Got mine friday, can't wait to use it in a game.

Thank you for combining my backorder with the extra magnet set!

Joshua Wos,

Is there a way to track our order? Mine says it was shipped on the 10th. It is now the 21st. Understandably the item is going from the Pacific coast to Atlantic Coast which is a long trip, but I'm pretty sure I purchased normal shipping (3-5 business days...maybe I didn't since it does not show me in the order history. But by the grand total of what I was charged, I doubt it).
Would just like to know where it is. Thanks.

Paizo Employee Vic Wertz (Technical Director),

Vic Wertz

USPS shipments aren't trackable (except for Express Mail). It's most likely going to turn up soon, though.

Hey I'm hoping that the week of pending means that since you were at GenCon that the orders are not getting filled as fast. Not that you are actually out and haven't changed the website to say they are back on backorder.
