[QUOTE="werk, post: 2577502, member: 29663"] Excel baby! It's easy enough to list out the NPCs in the first column and total HP in the second, and current in the third (or however you want to lay it out). Then I just write a formula to add whatever I type in the other columns and subtract it from the total resulting in the current. To allow for a lot of hits, just make it with a lot of columns...something like =$B2-SUM($D2:$AZ2) Can do a line underneath for subdual, subtracting from the current rather than total, but I only do that for regen creatures. Whenever someone does damage, it's just click, type a number, hit enter. If someone heals, enter it as a negative number. It's faster and more accurate than paper, but I'm very comfortable in excel. I like to do large scale combat, so it helps to manage all the different hits. I never run out of space or have to do math. Wireless in the house and notebook don't hurt...my computer is becoming my favorite DM tool. [/QUOTE]
