So, I am in the process of constructing a device with which to track initiative in our games, which is essentially a flip book constructed of index cards that will sit like a table tent on the table, showing the current round on both sides.
Now, writing in the round number doesn't take up a tremendous amount of space on a 3x5 card, so I started thinking about what else would be useful to put on each card. I decided that it would be nice to put some brief bits of advice on how to speed up combats.
Now, there have been plenty of threads in the past about how to help combats go faster. But if you had to condense that advice down to a single short sentence, what would you suggest? I'm looking for things along the lines of:
"Pay attention to the initiative count, and start planning your actions 1-2 combatants prior to your turn."
"When using a spell, special ability, or combat option, have the book open to the rules before your turn."
What else would you put on a card? Or what other kind of reminders would be good?
