[QUOTE="The Lost Muse, post: 4098940, member: 18546"] As a DM, I've used two strategies in the past for situations like this: 1) Audit every sheet, every level. Sometimes it's the only way. If I'm messing stuff up, at least it's all messed up. 2) Use sheets similar to the pregens that come in boxed sets. If you have access to a fancy printer, put it on a big sheet and fold for the booklet effect. On the front, everything you need for combat, and a summary of basic action/action combinations. On the inside, a page for equipment and a page for skills. The back can have key skill definitions and DC's or something else. And if you do hand out a belt of ogre strength, have it grant a +2 bonus to hit and damage, and strength related skills. If the end result is all that you care about, deal with only the numbers that matter: net bonus to hit, net bonus to damage, net bonuses to saving throws, and net bonus to skill checks. [/QUOTE]
