4e Monster Statblock - fillable PDF form

[Dortmunder]

Hey gang,

I whipped up this PDF form that I thought might be useful. It is a fillable PDF form, based off the 4th Edition monster statblock.

There are 4 statblocks per page. The form is double-sided with room on the back for more information.

Page 3 has some side-by-side cards for those who want to fold them. I put the front on the left side to preserve right-to-left reading order when they are unfolded.

Some known issues:

• The Monster Name and Level # Role fields share the same line. I tried to find a way for them to auto-resize based on the other's value, but I haven't figured it out yet. Hopefully there will be enough room for most cases.
• There is room for 2 Powers on the front, and 5 more on the back. You can completely erase the text on the back if you want more "scratch space" for tactics, description or what have you.
• I was unable (so far) to get the fancy 4e Power Type symbols (melee, range, close, area) to be customizable for each Power, so for now they are left out. I recommend using a letter code in the mean time: melee, ranged, close, area. Your mileage may vary.

Update: Thanks to your feedback I've made some adjustments. The latest version can be found at the link below.

Thanks and enjoy!

I just read about that. Amazing that not one of the servers were damaged in that incident.

Very nice...thanks for the effort you put into this.

Re: Letter coded attacks

Lower case is for basic attacks. Upper case for non-basic. Thus, m and r for basic melee and ranged attacks; M, R, A and C for everything else.

Just a friendly *bump* since I think most people will have missed this, having posted it late Sunday night.

Thanks for the cards, but thanks especially for using Creative Commons license

Very nice indeed!
Kudos!

Suggestion: instead of printing the backs, I'd like to have the extra 5 powers on the side, so I could print just one sheet, cut it in half and fold-and-glue the parts in the middle (or leave them open, with both sides up). Like this:

------------------
|Front 1 | Back 1 |
------------------
|Front 2 | Back 2 |
------------------

Saitou: Yup that's a good idea, I was going to suggest putting () around the letter code, but your solution is much simpler and saves on space

Cirex: Share and share-alike

erf_beto: That's a good idea too, I'll see if I can make that modification tonight at home.
