[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 1499709, member: 3586"] It's an expensive piece of cardboard. (In fact, two expensive pieces of cardboard - the Deluxe D&D screen and the Deluxe d20 Modern screen). I rarely consider DM screens to be "worth it" in 3E - most of the information you need is in your adventure notes and the Monster Manual, not the screen. (Unlike 1E, where you really needed a screen for the Combat Matrices!) However, I do like the D&D screen. I appreciate the landscape format - I have a fairly high table we play on from time to time, and it's nice being able to see the players again. ;) Tables: Far Left Panel: * Common Armor, Weapon, and Shield Hardness and Hit Points (PH 166) * Substance Hardness and Hit Points (PH 166) * DCs to Break or Burst Items (PH 166) * Items Affected by Magical Attacks (PH 177) - that's useful! * Size and Armor Class of Objects (PH 166) * Object Hardness and Hit Points (PH 166) * Walls (DMG 60) * Doors (DMG 61) Left Panel * Turning Undead (PH 159) - useful! * Increasing Weapon Damage by Size (DMG 28) * Decreasing Weapon Damage by Size (DMG 28) * Influencing NPC Attitudes (PH 72) * Attack Roll Modoifiers (PH 153) * Armor Class Modifiers (PH 151) * Missing with a Thrown Weapon * Climb Check DCs (PH 69) * Listen Check DCs (PH 78) Right Panel * Actions (PH 141) * Concentration Check DCs (PH 70) * Skills (PH 63) * Ability Modifiers (PH 8) - very useful! Far Right Panel * Movement and Distance (PH 162) * Maximum Distance for Spot Checks - useful! * Light Sources and Illumination * Hampered Movement (PH 163) * Armored/Encumbered Speeds * Detect Magic (PH 219) - useful! * Detect Evil (PH 219) - useful! That's it. Overall, I think the screen's great, though the price - as always - for a screen makes me blanch. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
