[QUOTE="Kem, post: 3683507, member: 18158"] Don't forget that you have a bit of duplication with the class section. I'm taking the Ability Score of the skill and what classes use it as a class skill and making it a single table. See how that goes on space. One method I'm using to judge cross file optimizations like this is to cut/paste all the stuff you are replacing into one file and work on it there. Thats how I know Skill info will be 15 pages or less (0.5' margins, 3 columns, 8pt font takes it there). I'd focus at first on the tables. Lots of whitespace there and I am sure some tricks could be used to cut that down. Also want to get the table to either be full and cross page or less full and fitting in a column or having the text flow around it. Basically, I feel the tables are the big thing. Rewording is a minimum gain but needed to get the best compression. The issue I am having with monsters is keeping them mostly alphabetical. I am already rearranging monsters to fit better, although thats only because the "A"s have so many groups of monsters real fast, along with a crazy complicated monster to start with.
