[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5571655, member: 54629"] [MENTION=22779]Hussar[/MENTION]: Thanks for your thoughts here and further up. I think flat-out skipping someone's turn might be a bit too harsh for me. I'd prefer to go with "your PC delays until you're ready". I should really give that a go. As for cheatsheets, as I said above, I've already put together a "quick reference sheet" for each PC that has the full text (plus any errata/house rules) for any feats, talents, racial abilities, and the like that the player might need to reference during play. The only thing it doesn't cover is trained skill uses, because that would simply be too much work, especially for a skill monkey PC. I am also working on making a more generic quick reference sheet that has a number of things like weapon ranges and basic action costs and the like on it (think the handy full-page "actions in combat" chart on page 289 of the 4e PHB; unfortunately, SWSE never got one of those, at least not in the book - there's something similar on the GM screen, which is what I am copying). I'll give each of the PCs a copy of that along with their character sheet. The thing is, I actually modified the base SWSE character sheet by adding a list of the most common actions with a quick summary and the page number on the left of the front page, and a run-down of all the things you could do with Force Points and Destiny Points on the right ... and so it's right in front of their faces at all times and yet I [i]still[/i] find myself having to remind them! I don't think any of them ever actually look at the list I put on the left of the character sheet, although they will look at the FP and DP rules (but usually only if I remind them to do so).
