DM - Combat Tracker - track NPC Dying/Death

[cshaner]

I have looked at several combat videos and attempted to search forums and have not found an answer.

As DM, how do I tell in my Combat Tracker that the NPC's are dying or dead. I have my auto roll for death option set to on but don't see where that roll is recorded or even made. There also is nothing visual other than the wound number being equal to the HP number to indicate that an NPC is down.

I see messages in the chat window that say dead, dying when the PC's roll damage, and they tell me they can see in their combat tracker that the NPC is dying, but I cannot see anything special that indicates dying or death for the NPCs.

I am brand new to Fantasy Grounds, having only had the software for about a week. I like it, but the learning curve is pretty steep and though I've watched a bunch of videos, including the ones here on FG site and some on YouTube, any additional videos you want to link to help a new DM would be great!

Thanks.

In 5E NPCs/monsters die at 0 hp so there is not any reason for them to make death saves - so nothing is rolled for them.

Welcome cshaner! The curve can be steep but also remember you dont have to learn everything before you start. Get a handle on the basics - setting up encounters, targeting, rolling attacks from the combat tracker and attacks and saves from the character sheets and then keep learning together with your players as you go :)

Fantastic! Thank you both for the responses.

Also when they die on the far right in the CT will be a button to let you clear them quickly.
