I use the elevation markers from the old Dragonlance boardgame. The game used small quarter inch thick round counters. The counters had grooves and ridges  so that you could stack them one on top of the other and they would lock together. They are the same diameter as a medium sized D&D plastic mini. I painted the sides of them various colors to represent marks, quarries, curses and bloodied. I also numbered several of them. That way when I have multiples of the same monster I put the numbered counters under them so my players can easily identify which monster they are attacking. When I fight winds down it kind of looks funny. You will have the boss monster towering over the PCs. He is bloodied, marked, cursed and quarried which makes him stand an extra inch taller. I also stack the plain white counters under flying creatures to represent elevation, with 4 markers equivalent to 5ft. The game game with dozens of the counters so I never run out. Anyway, that is what my group uses. I thought some people might get a kick out of it.</blockquote>
