[QUOTE="Conaill, post: 1042455, member: 1264"] Woohoo! Cergorach has taken up the gauntlet and posted a whole *chapter* while I was (re-)issuing my challenge. Nice work, C! - Note how his small (but very legible, IMHO) font allows him to put all entries in the Monk class table on a single line. That's better than in the PHB, which needs a double line for 3 or 4 of the entries (making the table look quite ugly), and a *lot* better than in the RTF version of the SRD. - On my screen, with the size windows I use for Acrobat Reader, Fit Width fits almost exactly an entire page on the screen, minus the top graphics. I like it! - There's a bunch of wasted whitespace. This might be a good place to consider adding some extra content. The list of SRD Fighter feats would fit perfectly in that empty space on page 11. - I'm not too fond of the horizontal line underneath the whole-page "sidebar" pages (animal companions and familiars), because you get another horizontal line right underneath it. Doesn't look very good, especially on page 10. - I noticed you started the Ranger midway down the page, even though all the other classes start at the top of column 1 or 2. Doesn't look too bad actually, but it is somewhat inconsistent (yeah I know, the text above the Ranger is a "sidebar", but still...) Have you tried allowing all the classes to start midway through a page? For example, you could end the last bit of the Monk section at the top of columns 1 and 2 on page 13, draw a divider, and start the Paladin underneath. Doing that throughout could get rid of a lot of whitespace... - Ah, just noticed Sorceror start in the middle of column 2 as well, another inconsistency. I do think it would look better overall if you'd draw a divider across both columns [/QUOTE]
