[QUOTE="Goblyns Hoard, post: 4446189, member: 19970"] On magic item uses... I'm not sure how to handle this best. Afterall tracking of these could get complicated between gaining them, using them, and idetifying which items have been used. If Action Point markers are removed from the mat when spent (which was my assumption) then the tally between Action Points on the Mat and tapped cards could easily diverge. You'd need to keep a tally of spent Action Points - which would need to be added to the mat to accomplish this. But that wouldn't be transparent to the user. I think it might be worth adding them to the mat - it shouldn't take up a lot of room, most of the time we're talking about a small number of tokens. Orkus - if you want to go pen and paper - give it a go, let us know how it works and what could be improved. For dry erase - you should just be able to slide them into a clear plastic folder. As to size - mine is built to A4 standard not that strange letter ratio you guys on the other side of the pond use. Not sure what ratio porters are. As to name slot - good call. It should be easy to assign them quickly enought, but why not make it easier. Kzach - couple of good points there. Might be worth trying to draw up a DM's mat to complement this - Passive Perception and Insight for all of the current group, everyone's standard defences, anything else the DM may want to have at hand without having to ask the player's for the info. Anyone with thoughts on that just drop them in here and I'll see what I can do. As to Feats that could take up some space. A 30th level character knows 18 feats, plus extras for being human, automatic class feats, etc. I'm not sure what the theoretical maximum is, but we could need space to list in the region of 20-25 feats per character. I think Grandpa's cards cover that better - both through having the feat card themselves and having the space in the power cards to write down your own math. So you could put down all the bonuses affecting a power, as well as the total (if you're so inclined) and that way can include or exclude feat specific things as appropriate. So your eladrin soldier that normally uses his longsword who's currently using an axe cause there's no longsword at hand - just exclude the feat +2 damage note on your power cards. And on the basic attacks - those are also covered by Grandpa's cards - are they really needed here as well? [/QUOTE]
