Adding Monster to Initiative

[mouse0270]

While I like this tool quite a bit, I must say I'm a little discouraged by the method monsters are added to the Initiative tracker. The requirement that monsters first be added into "encounters" before they can be added into the initiative works well for groups of like monsters, but is troublesome when you're adding multiple single monsters that act on their own initiative. This results in a bunch of encounters consisting only of a single monster. The way I run combat, no encounter would ever contain more than a single type of monster (though perhaps multiple instances of that particular monster). This really defeats the purpose of having encounters, which would be to save a group of monsters ahead of time and add them to the initiative all at once when I run that encounter in a game.

Being able to add single monsters directly into the Initiative Tracker without first adding them to an encounter would be a huge improvement. Alternatively, being able to assign different initiatives to monsters within an encounter is a must.
