[Turn Order/Initiative Tracker] Add Rounds Counter

It would be nice for a counter to appear, showing us the amount of rounds the combat has been going for. It would be useful for those who use Rage modes, or other round-sensitive abilities, and it would also be fairly useful to allow the "next" button to add/subtract values from the health/magic/rage bars on the characters/NPC's, so that they wouldn't have to manually change the values, as the less time playing with numbers, the more time RPing.

I would love a Rounds counter - that seems simple enough to implement and is useful across almost all games.  Not sure how I feel about the adding/subtracting values from the bars on the character, though.  I, personally, wouldn't find it useful and seems like it would unnecessarily make the Turn Tracker more complex.  Right now it is very elegant due to its simplicity.  But I'm totally behind the counter.
I'm talking about extra/advanced options. I too certainly hope these extra features wouldn't be default! I would simply like more tools at my disposal when it comes to the round counter. It has so much potential under the surface, being one of the most fundamental pieces in RPG's - I wouldn't want them to go to waste! Ideally, I would like all of the number crunching to be done quickly by the computer, supported by a quick-and-easy user interface, giving us more time to role play and less time needed to look up rules and number crunch (like a video game in terms of accessibility, but much more creativity). Some of my games still use paper character sheets; I would love to be able to have their character sheets integrated into Roll20 at some point.

As for counters for various things, I typically just roll a dX and drag it onto the map... you can right click and choose face to get that going, but agreed it'd be nice to do it automatically.
+1 Exactly what this App is missing! If a combat round counter gets added  I will probably pay and become a supporter! I am sure i'll be able to defeat my DM in arenas  then as well hahaxD But simply because it's a 'must have' in my opinion assuming that there are spells and such which require to keep count of rounds of combat! And to make it easy, Simply add it to the the turn order as a lil counter that automatically adjusts itself as the turns go by! RPG to the max! Cheers to a nice community!

I made a token called Round #, put it on the GM Layer of all maps, and add it into the turn order of every combat. We go highest to lowest wiht initiative numbers, so I give it an initiative of 100 to start. every time I comes back around to it, I add 1 more to it.. The Turn Tracker automatically doing this would be great, but this is an easy enough work around for me. Also works using it for time delayed things - I duplicate it, rename it say "fire ball goes off NOW!!!" and give it the appropriate number it will happen on, no one seeing it but me, since it is on the GM Layer.
