Right now the app auto-extends the name of the combatant with an increasing number. E.g., Gnoll 1, Gnoll 2, Gnoll 3. This is quite useful to manage groups of enemies. Particularly, in another app I use in parallel with Improved Initative, PlanarAlly, you can automatically tag tokens with an enumeration.

I would find value in having the option for more types of templates. For example:

  • Roman numberals: Gnoll I, Gnoll II, Gnoll III, Gnoll IV, ...
  • Alphabetical: Gnoll (a), Gnoll (b), Gnoll (c), ....
  • Color codes: Gnoll (Red), Gnoll (Blue), Gnoll (Green), ...

The color codes example would be particularly useful for IRL scenarios where it's easier to have a coloured ring on the creature miniature than some kind of numerical identifier.

There's an extension for Foundry VTT that does exactly this, and it's great! It also has options to auto-roll hit dice for each baddy (yay variety) and give them funny names like "Grumpy Gnoll" or "Smirking Kobold". Lotta fluff but it's fun!
