Love using tent cards on your DM screen to manage combat, but sick and tired of filling them out after the 14th goblin in a row?
Well, here's your answer.
Tab 1 - enter the basic data, each card is one line. Was going to have it autocalc passive perception/insight, but instead left them raw entered numbers to make it simplest for creatures with non-standard values. "Name" will only be seen on the DM's-side Card, more of an organizational thing if you want to use it. The "Attack" and "Ability" lines are only suggestions, and are about as wide as the visible text on the card. The last "other" field ends up a huge text box on the card for whatever comments or special abilities you need to note. Remember: these aren't meant to be comprehensive monster blocks, just reminders to you of special abilities, etc. Tab 2 is the page you print to generate the card(s). Note I've deliberately left blank space below the HP for you to jot down their hp until they (usually) die. Big empty space on the player-side of the card that you can use for character portraits (if a party member or significant NPC) or grab some image off the web for a monster.
I find it quite useful, hope you do too. My own version I have it autofill the fields based on the selected creature (which saves me BOATLOADS of time), but I'm guessing that putting all THAT data up on the web would be gross copyright violation and I'm not really interested in getting a C&D from the WOTC lawyers.
Enjoy.
Note: the RED text on tab one are formulas. Replace as needed of course but understand that they won't autocalc again until you fill-down or whatever to restore them. If there's anything else you'd like to see on this sheet, it's a work in progress, I'd be happy to edit.
