Built for D&D but easily adapted to many other platforms due to its flexibility (Pathfinder in my case). Built-in tutorial tells you most of what you need to know. Separate templates for PCs and NPCs, any number of fields can be included in either, and the format can be swapped around easily. One weakness is that almost all the fields are numbers-only making it difficult to include non-numeric data. The status effect system is also a little clunky and requires a bit of setup for each new effect. It's not a substitute for full stat blocks but it's very useful for initiative order and effect tracking.

Product description
Combat Assistant, used for tracking initiative and status effects, intended for use with the Dungeons and Dragons rules set (4th Edition), although some users have noted its useful for previous editions and other role playing systems, e.g. Pathfinder.Ever got confused by trying to keep track of status effects, hit points, healing surges, etc. in a game. Well, be confused no more with this versatile app for keeping track.
Useful for DMs who need to keep track of player defenses as well as hit points of their monsters. Will also automatically apply ongoing damage and check with you whether your creatures have made their saving throws. Monsters can also be pre-created and then are saved automatically to keep the flow of the game going without having to pause to add details of new creatures to the combat.
Useful for players to keep track of an entire party's details, including hit points, healing surges, temporary hit points and status effects.
Portraits can also be assigned to creatures, so you can take a photo of each player using your phone's built in camera and then quickly assign those photos to each creature.
Tutorial mode also available to show you the features of the application.
