[QUOTE="blakbuzzrd, post: 5371449, member: 88150"] After casting around in search of the right solution for battlemat condition markers, I gave up on finding anything out there that was both immediately legible and completely unobtrusive. I like the Litko markers, but I don't like that the text of them is hidden by the mini. I like the Dark Platypus magnetic flags, but it seems like a lot of rigmarole, and it puts more clutter on the map. I have no desire to use those stacking magnet rings I've seen used elsewhere, and the pipe cleaner/rubberband options just looked bad IMO. So I fired up Photoshop and made my own, for printing on cardstock. I wanted something that could be used either as a flat cardstock tag to slide under a mini, or -- in the case of close melee -- in such a way as to show the condition without it being hidden under the bases of surrounding minis. I made a page of counters to include all possible states (many of them only rarely needed, but hey, it's paper, and I had room). In fact, the only condition left off was "broken," because I couldn't foresee ever needing that on a map. Here are a few pics of what I came up with: [B][URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52385894@N02/sets/72157625218192935/"]pics of Pathfinder Counters[/URL][/B] Here's how they work: [B]1.[/B] Print the .pdf page on 80 lb cardstock or similar.
