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.
