[QUOTE="CharlesRyan, post: 4732832, member: 5265"] I find putting things under (or even on) minis on the battlemat to be more trouble and time-consuming than it's worth. The time you spend picking up the mini, untangling it from the mini next to it, straightening up the minis that got knocked over, and pushing them all back to the squares they were it, just isn't worth it--especially when you have to do it all over again two minutes later when the target makes its save. For monsters, I usually put a small marker or token next to the mini. Sometimes that's a bit awkward, but rarely as much as faffing around putting something under it. For PCs, I keep a stock of more visible "markers" (I usually use skeleton minis!) on-hand. When a PC is affected by a condition, I give the marker to the player and have him set it on his character sheet. That makes it more likely he'll remember the condition--and remember to make his save--than if the marker is on the mini. Faster [I]and[/I] more effective, I find. [/QUOTE]
