Message: <blockquote data-quote="weem" data-source="post: 5095713" data-attributes="member: 9470">This is a sheet I made a while back to fit my play style - thought I would share for anyone interested. Here is a screenshot of one filled out as a sample, using info from my goblin assassin character...<img src="http://www.theweem.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/combat_sheet_screen.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /><a href="http://www.theweem.com/2010/07/01/weems-4e-dd-combat-sheet/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see the full (pdf) version of the sample above.What is this?So basically, I (and many others) tend to look back after a combat and say "Damn, I forgot to use X" or "Damn, I forgot I could have done Y when they hit me". So, I made a sheet that organizes the information into 2 primary areas. Am I defending, or am I attacking. Then, within those areas, I have all the things I can do, but not listed as the name of the power (for example) but rather WHAT IT DOES.So, for example, instead of putting "Agile Recovery", I put "Stand from prone"... or instead of "Slayers Escape", I put "Port 5 and become INVIS".In the heat of combat, the names of powers and abilities often times don't mean anything to me. My eyes glaze over them. This way, I quickly see what can be done and I know right away if I want to do that.I also scribble in colors representing the action (@will, encounter, daily etc).The information is also laid out in steps that help identify things I should be looking at first.Under the picture you will see a section called "Always Ready" - these are for abilities that can be used whenever (for the most part).In the "Defending" section, the DM is going to ask if they hit me with a roll, so those numbers are first. Below that is information needed if he hits... this makes me work down through resists, temp hp's, saves, etc before getting down to my HP so I don't miss anything on the way. Then, next to that are things I can use when I am hit.The same goes with the "Attacking" section below that.Anyway, this sheet has been awesome for me, and for those I play with (and run games for) so I thought I would drop it in here <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />***UPDATE***This file has been moved - you can get it here - <a href="http://www.theweem.com" target="_blank">theweem.com</a></blockquote>
