A player rolled 1 for initiative with a character who has -1 Dex modifier. The result in the chat log was 0 and his Init in the Combat Tracker remained blank. Is this WAD?
Actually, I do not know what the tabletop rules mean in this case. Should there be a 0 value for Init?

0 is a valid value for initiative. You can actually have negative values too.

CT should show 0 for the value though, not left blank. Did he get sorted last in the order?

Zero is hidden by default, because it is the default value. It rarely happens, and only at low levels. This is working as expected.

OK, thank you for clarifying.
