Message: <blockquote data-quote="Infiniti2000" data-source="post: 2952636" data-attributes="member: 31734">As described in the other thread, I use initiative cards and I have all bad guys printed on their own cards.  I generally put spell effects on the cards, with an asterisk if it is in rounds per level.  Then, I just tick next to the spell and when the appropriate number of rounds is up, the effect ends.  Ideally, if the caster delays/readies, I would create a new card for the previous effects, but in practice I rarely do that because it would not be worth the effort (fairly insignificant difference).We use tact-tiles.  Definitely worth.  I had created my own battlemats before, either using poster board or plastic with handmade etching.  Nothing is as good as the tact-tiles, except for maybe that computer-generated overhead version.At the craft store, I picked up a large number of wooden circles, most of them 1" in diameters, with about 12 2-inch in diameter and 6 3-inches.  These obviously corresponding to Medium (or smaller), Large, and Huge.  I painted numbers on them to represent monsters.  I can then basically use any size figure on top of this base, if I so choose, but most of the time we do not have an appropriate figure and just use the base.  Which is cool.  I have a 4-inch diameter one, but none larger.I also picked up some 1-inch wooden cubes, which are awesome for aerial combat.  I have a lot of them with different numbers written on the sides, representing 10ft, 20ft, etc.  If an appropriate height square isn't available, then we can just combine 2 or 3.  It's easy, even more stable than 6-siders, but it's also impossible to have creatures both above and below (in which case we temporary have one or the other off to the side, which in practice is no big deal).</blockquote>
