DMG Screen Monster Knowledge Paste-in

[galaga88]

I stumbled across this file while cleaning up some directories on my computer today; it's a print-out of a sheet I made pasted onto my DMG screen. I don't have the screen in front of me, but I believe I replaced one of the XP charts (not so useful in mid-combat) with a list of the monster knowledge DC checks and which skill goes with which types of monsters.

It also has two pictures that give examples of Burst/Blast/Wall templates in case you have trouble remembering them. I think I put them in because I needed to fill space.

Why did I keep typing DMG screen? That'll teach me to post during my rushed lunch break.

Thanks for posting that - it's a far more useful bit of information to have on the DM screen than some of the experience tables and such. I think I'll make a sticker to put on my screen, albeit without the spell shapes as I use hexes. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, it really is more usefull than the XP Chart.

Excellent. Thanks for this; it's an immediate yoink.

I took the liberty of making some minor modifications to your paste-in sheet, I hope you don't mind:

-Changed some fonts to make them look similar to the one used for the PHB.
-Added "(No Action)" to the skills and knowledge checks boxes.
-Replaced the background coloured boxes of the "Knowledge Checks" box with the ones on the "Monster Knowledge Skills" to have both of them look similar.
-Added the "Success" and "Failure" explanations below the "Knowledge Checks" box just to fill that blank space with something.
-Moved the Creature Types to the right side of the box.

It's the first time I use acrobat to EDIT a pdf (not the Reader) so please tell me what you think.
