Dungeons & Dragons (4th Edition)

Card Creator 1.0

This is the Template used for the Card Backs in PaintDotNet. Has switchable on off layers.

This is all of the "example encounters" in the monster manuals, sorted by level. If you need to quickly assemble an encounter when your players go off somewhere unexpected, you can go to the appropriate level, find a set of monsters you like, and pull out a decently assembled encounter easily. Incredibly useful for a new DM.

An example of the sheets in action. One sheet contains all my At-Will and Encounter powers which are referenced frequently, and the other has Daily powers. Overlapping them allows me to see all my powers at once without taking up much room. I can list all the details (action type, keywords, range, etc.) which are pertinent while leaving out the "obvious" ones for brevity and readability.

This is the second version of my player mat. It's intended to be used in conjunction with a more involved character sheet. I use the character sheet to do all the calculations and then transfer the numbers you actually need to know without all the clutter onto the player mat. It's meant to be used with poker chips stacked for hit points, surges and temporary hit points. Also glass beads (or some such) indicating second wind, failed death saves and action points. Putting it into a sheet protector will allow you to write on it with an erasable pen (wet or dry erase depending on material used) for initiative and any other information you'd like if you don't want to use beads and chips. Room for important notes not included on the sheet or cards as well as status effects...

Character record sheet & house rules (these have been play tested in my home game) for adding Burning Wheel style Beliefs, Instincts, & Traits to your D&D game. The rules were designed for 4E D&D but could be easily adapted to almost any ruleset.

This is a spreadsheet that summarises the key abilities of different races and classes. This is handy when you know what kind of character you want to build but aren't sure which class or race is best suited for it. Handy reference that saves your from flipping pages back and forth. A must for building balanced parties or min-max-ing extremists! Comments, corrections, and suggestions welcome! (Requires the free OpenOffice.org Calc to open)

This is version 2 of a flow chart I made using Inspiration to help my middle school students learn the combat sequence in 4th edition D&D. I hope others find it helpful! I like it because it puts all the basics of combat onto a single A4 page. Please let me know if there are any mistakes or if you can think of any improvements.

Markers used for tracking common conditions and other combat modifiers (ongoing damage, bloodied, attack roll and defense modifiers). Conditions which grant combat advantage are grey. Version 1.0.
