I'm not sure I'll move the full HP/AP sections. The way I envisioned using the booklet was modelled around the 'modes' presented in the DMG. While in combat, you would only need to look at pages 2/3 and the powers on 4/5. If I move HP/AP to page 1, then that introduces more page-flipping. During combat, you likely wouldn't be using the info on page 1 as it is currently.

I don't know about how others use their sheets, but I've noticed that a lot of players will keep a tally of the current HP on a scrap paper, and transfer it to the character sheet at the end of a session. Too much erasing makes thin spots or even holes! With this in mind, I'm not sure devoting a lot of space on page 1 to Current HP is worth it??

Page 1/8 were for exploration and roleplaying modes. I added the Quick reference as a 'just in case' time-saver.

I like Kiznit's 'Equipped' diagram too, but I traded artistic beauty for space to make notes about powers of the magic items. Maybe I'll figure out a way to get form and function here. ...

EDIT: Maybe I should move page 3 to page 1, page 2 to page 8, so all the combat stats are on the 'cover'. If you open the booklet at the 'seem', page 4/5, then you could flip the whole booklet over for the powers?

I like the rational, makes much better sense to me. I usually end up with the eraser hole ... mark of honour but you're right, most probably don't do it that way. I particularly like the idea of 3 to 1, maybe with name & class and ... hahahaah ... some credit to D&D with some tiny icon :-)
