[QUOTE="ninjayeti, post: 6999670, member: 6789120"] There was a post several months back about a guy who created a reference binder for his sessions by buying an extra copy of the core rulebooks, then cutting out all the pages and making a binder with just the pages he needed for his upcoming session. Several people seemed to think that it was a useful (or at least interesting) idea, so in that vein I thought I would pass along a simple idea I have been using for creating my own reference docs. There are several versions of the 5E System Reference Doc available online ([URL="http://www.Open5E.com"]www.Open5E.com[/URL] and [URL="http://www.5thSRD.org"]www.5thSRD.org[/URL] both work well). You can copy text from the web page (for example, a monster stat block or spell description) and paste it into a word document. You may need to tweak the formatting a bit, but in short order you can put together single document with the full text of any monster stat blocks, spells, or specific rules you may need for a session. It is obviously handy for DM prep, but it can also be useful for players to have a doc with the full text of all their spells, all of their race and class rules, etc. The SRD is missing some stuff, but even if I have to type in a couple of stat blocks by hand it still only takes a few minutes to put together. I am sure that this is old news many people, but hopefully this is a helpful tip for some - or at least cheaper than cutting up your extra copy of the PHB. [/QUOTE]
