Load up character sheet.Tap the 'combat' tab.Tap the HP box, and a list of numbers all the way down to negative dead shows up. Flick through and select your new HP total. The app makes note of it.Tap the Conditions box, and select special. The app can't handle everything, but this will remind you that you have Lloth's spider larva growing inside your abdomen (save ends).Tap the Powers tab (optional; it's integrated for spellcasters, and for 4e warriors, but not used in all games). Select the power you want to use. Yes, there is an option for 'Do Something Cool,' which a) reminds you that you don't always have to use your powers as printed, and b) lets you manually enter in the effects when you go outside the power system.**If you'd previously selected 'diceless mode,' it rolls an attack for you. If you'd selected the 'virtual table' option, it pulls up a list of monsters (populated from the GM's tablet), and lets you mark which ones you're attacking. It will, if possible, process the effects of the attack. Otherwise it just shows you the rules of that power (attack bonus, spell text, etc.) and marks that you used the power.Tap the Allies tab, and see the highlighted list of allies who also have the character sheet app active. Other PCs who aren't active are grayed out, but you can make provisional notes. It won't update their entry in the database, but it's handy if their phone is out of juice and you still want to track who got what treasure.When the party TPKs, tap the home button, then load up the GM app. Start planning your campaign. Purchase and download adventures, or design your own.Each adventure has its own tabs for Scenes, Combats, Treasure, and Reference. Depending on the production values, some scenes or combats might have music, sound effects, or voice acting. Images and maps have the option to be pushed into the PC apps of your players. During combat you can track monster HP and conditions.At the bottom of the app, if its primitive AI detects that you and the other players are spending a lot of time using the app, a message pops up saying, "The app is a tool, not the game. Pay more attention to your fellow players." This can be disabled, of course, but if you do that, it tells the GM and the other players. Peer pressure is a wonderful thing.</blockquote>
