[QUOTE="M_Natas, post: 9114875, member: 7025918"] I was thinking equipment cards like similar in the Essentials kit or the magic item cards. You have the rules on the card and only read them when you need the equipment. You don't need to remember them. And it's something cool to handout to the players. So players now can have decks of equipment. You can also have some blank cards for equipment that wasn't on the list. It can even help with tracking encumberance.
