4E Combat Crib Sheet

[Samadhi]

Downloaded and printed, ready for my next session.

Thanks!!

Very nice. I hope you don't mind if I use some of your explanations for my own DM screen that I'm working on.

Thanks for the sheet -- I made a ton of copies and passed them around for the 4e events I was running at Origins (Harvestlands intros). They made a big difference, especially considering how many people had never played 4e before.

Looks nice. You might want to add that failed death saves accumulate until you take a long rest. It's a small rule and easily missed, but if you fail 2 in an encounter, than push through a milestone, then fail another one, you're dead.

I like this. BUT, it looks like it hasn't been updated since the Core books came out (You reference KotS).

If you went pushing through another encounter with <0 HP without getting any further healing, you deserve to be dead.

Aside from that, a quick browse didn't show where death saves reset, so if it isn't "when the character is no longer Dying", it certainly should be.

Page 295: Lower than 10: You slip one step closer to death. If you get this result three times before you take a rest, you die.

Ah. In that case, it just says "a rest", which to me says a short one would do as well as a long one. But it's begging to be HRed, and as a GM I'd have a tough time enforcing that rule if someone got healed up above 0 after having failed a couple of saves.

Nice.

Saved to give to my more technical newbs.

Thanks, -- N

[Zinovia]

Nice work, thanks! I'll be printing out a couple of these for my upcoming 4E game.

[jefrey]

Wow, that is really helpful. I am just moving my group from 3.5e to 4e and this will help us all. Thanks!

[Spirynth]

Yep! Add me to the ever-growing list of "Thank You!"ers...

[Midniteshadow97]

Awesome sheet! Good quick ref for new (and some of us rusty old) players.

[Lareon]

This thing looks great. My group just converted over to 4E, so this will help everyone tremendously, I'm sure.

[tomgastall]

Kiznit - what font did you use and where dif you find the logo? I wanted to do one of these cribs for initiative and surprise (I'm DM-ing my first game)

Excellent work--EXELCIOR.

Do you play D&D Miniatures?, thing is I'm working on this project to create a cool tracking sheet for tournament games, and sincerely as I was totally
astonished by your craft I will go in your graphic direction.

Awesome,

keep it up my-friend!

[77IM]

This is really well done!

Minor comment:
On the modifiers table, "Target has concealment" and "No line of sight" appear identically under Melee Attacks and Ranged Attacks. You might want to consolidate them under "All Attack Types." Also, the most common situations that grant combat advantage should be on the chart, maybe listing "CA" instead of a bonus or penalty.

Does this incorporate the latest August updates to the PHB, etc.?

[Adelwulf]

Thanks!
Just what I needed to adapt to 4e combat!
