This is sheet which allows a dm to track spell dc, ac, hit pts, and other things so he does not have ask the player.

You can find the file here in the downloads section. Please use this thread for comments.

AS a DM, my focus is on the everything except the players' stats - I let them keep track of their one character as I do all the environment and NPCs. I even ask one of the players to keep track of initiative order as I find trying to remember attack features for multiple monsters suffers if I am multi-tasking too many other things.

How many of of you DMs keep track of all your players' stats?
And if so, why?

I have shifted over the years from tracking more things like this to having the players track almost everything. I go so far as having them roll saving throws for monsters they hit with their spells. I just tell them the save bonus. They track initiative as well and spell durations or conditions. I also give them combat sheets for NPCs that may be with them and need to fight in a combat.

Apparently I have insufficient privileges to download the file. Any other way to get this file?

I don't track anything about the PCs. That's the player's job and I'm not concerned about cheating or errors and I don't feel a need to control everything.

I will remind players often when they need to record something like the use of a spell slot or one of their capped special abilities. I might even ask them to double check if they still have the use of certain items when it seems like they are using it more often than usual but I won't track those things.

I just track what you can see on the sheet. It speeds play if I know LordEntrails fighter AC is 20 and Jim wizard's DC is 12. Because sometimes some of players are slow or learning their character.
I use the sheet for homebrew and Al any suggestions to make it better?

Ah, that makes sense. I use FG, so all that is tracked for me as GM.

You could add Saves. The DM will want to know the PC saves just like AC.
