[QUOTE="ignayshus, post: 4468280, member: 71355"] My group had excellent success with this. I took a two sided clear cover page holder and put in the op's sheet unfilled facing out, a third sheet facing out the other way and pre-filled out in pencil with a black sheet in between the two. The third sheet has the following: [LIST] [*]Initiative Calculation [*]Movement Calculation [*]Abilities Calculation [*]Skills Calculation [*]Defenses Calculation [*]Resistances [*]Experience Current / To Level (ex 2325/3750) [*]Powers Count AtWill/Encounter/Daily/Utility (ex 2/2/1/1) [*]Feats Count Heroic/Paragon/Epic/Total (ex 2/0/0/2) [*]Feats List (with brief description) [*]Modifier Attack Types by implement (Str attack no implement or with dagger; Dexterity attack no implement, with dagger, or with bow, Const... you get the idea) [*]Wondrous Items (with brief description and a check box beside if power expended) [*]Equipped Items (with brief description and a check box beside if power expended) [/LIST] This way we used the front sheet 90% of the time, but if we needed more detail, you just turn the sheet over. We skipped the health/action-point tokens, as for us they were unnecessary. We've played two sessions this way and it's gone very well. The only change is we plan on using monster cards in addition to the power cards. A list of what we use: [LIST=1] [*]RP Tool Token Creator (to create pc/npc tokens) [LIST] [*]I put a single hole punch through the tokens. [*]This allows me to put a yellow square (that shows through the hole) under marked targets, a red under bloodied targets, and an orange under marked and bloodied targets. [/LIST] [*]Clear 1"x1" squares (cut from a report cover) to place on top of pc/npcs with a condition (detailed by a single letter). [*]Grandpa's Power Cards [*]Bodi's Playmat (for the front side) [*]My own version of Weisbeden's CharSheetI tab (for the back side) [*]Obsidian Skill Challenge Rules (for players on front and skill descriptions on back) [*]Round/Initiative tracking sheet in clear cover [*](To-be added) Monster cards (using the Magic Set Editor) [*]Laptop, DMG, PHB, tons of wet erase pens, wet wipes and dry cloth, and of course a grid map. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
