Between the tight range of ability modifiers, universal proficiency progression, and generally small number of character build decision points, I feel like I could get away with just a piece of scratch paper to record those ephemeral values like current HP, XP, HD, spell slots, etc. and maybe a set of spellbook cards and keep the rest in my head no problem. My players are always impressed by the fact that I can guess their modifier to a roll so reliably while they have to check their sheets, but like… If I know what class you’re playing I can probably guess what ability scores you prioritize, and  if I know what level you are I know what your proficiency bonus is and how many ASI levels you hit, so the only thing I have to guess at is if you have an applicable proficiency or not. And if the party picked you to do a thing, it’s probably because you are. So, yeah, I don’t feel like it’s that impressive to know offhand that your 5th level rogue has +7 to hit with their rapier, or that your 8th level cleric’s spell save DC is 16.</p></blockquote><p></p>
