[QUOTE="kiznit, post: 4280722, member: 3994"] Pointless new book gloating and clutching in this thread, so please ignore if this disgusts you. ;) Edition stance aside, flipping through a brand new Player's Handbook is a deeply enjoyable, gripping experience. It holds so much potential for excitement, thinking about the characters you can create, the gaming you'll be doing, the situations you can get into, and so on. Something I never really did with my 3.5 PHB is put post-it or sticky tabs to mark oft-referenced pages. Partly because I was so familiar with the 3.0 PHB at that point that despite the page differences I sort of already "knew where everything was". However with the new 4ePHB, I've noticed that while sharing a book with my brother and making new characters for fun; with so many pages devoted to each character class it seems to be quite a bit trickier to find the specific class abilities etc. you're looking up. The edge-bleeding chapter designations are somewhat visible, and WotC was nice enough to 90° turn each class name along the margin edge for flipping through page after page of ability, but this wasn't enough for me. So pretty much the first thing I did after I got home was to go through and tab the first page of each character class in vertical descending order along the outside of each page. Obvious, right? This isn't meant to be a pointless show-off post (okay, maybe it is a little), because I was wondering what other pages people recommend having tabbed? How do you like to prioritize what you want easily accessible? Do you prefer only a few tabs, or as many as possible? In comparison this is what I've got so far (13 tabs in all) [sblock]p.29 - Character Advancement Chart p. 60, 75, 89, 103, 117, 129, 143, 156 - Classes p. 196 - Feats p. 218 - Weapon Chart p. 277 - Conditions p. 289 - Combat Actions[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
