[QUOTE="Waterbizkit, post: 7922493, member: 6802604"] First, to the point at hand in the OP: that's a nice looking sheet. Well done. Something I'd probably try out and maybe recommend to players I knew who had also DM'd and would be familiar with a monster stat block layout. As to the slight diversion regarding a DM requiring players to all use a specific sheet, it's not a decision I've ever come to, but I could see why someone might make the request. If the DM, for example, wanted to keep an updated sheet for every player I could see why they would request their players all use the same sheet. Having everyone hand you something different when you ask for their most up-to-date sheet might be a little bothersome. Another example could be a group that has a mix of experienced and brand new players. If the newer players are asking for help when asked to roll for something or otherwise have to reference their sheet and a more experienced player or the DM leans in to help them find the information, all the sheets having the same format could be helpful. I mean, let's face it, most sheet formats are fairly similar, so I'm grasping at straws a little bit here, but again I've never required my players to all use one specific sheet before, so I'm just trying to see the other side of things.
