During pen and paper play beginner players get lost with what is possible, and don't know where to look (or are too lazy to). That and multi-attack penalty math slows the game down tons when done in your head.

This tool helps players help their GM by having quick references where they need them.

It includes some improvements:

• Multi-Attack Penalty boxes
• Skill Actions References next to each Skill
• A Conditions Tracker Page with short reference notes
• Exploration Actions short reference
• Weapons Tags/Specialization short reference

Actions & Multi-Attack Penalty

Because beginner player's don't know the action's available to them (be it Common or Skill based), all the main actions they would need are included on the front page. Important actions for combat have been boldened. The weapon area has also been reduced so that the maths is hidden more and we can show the Multi-Attack Penalty.

Basic Actions & Conditions Explained

As a follow-up to these common actions being named on the main page, I wanted an easy way to reference the TLDR version of the action. Then below that I included a TLDR condition tracker with circles for active and a large square to state the X value.

Form Fillable + Some Instant Maths

It fills in your Attribute scores wherever they are named, and also does the maths for you e.g. for Skills with proficiency etc. Only note is that your Armor Penalty should be written with a negative for the sum to work e.g. -4 instead of just 4. Each field has been designed so that it should print correctly (no hidden text because of a scroll).

Tabs, Section Titles and Reduction

There are tabs (in red) at the top of the page so that you easily find where you need to be (similar to how it is done in the remaster approach to books). All sections use block titles to segment more clearly and look for any opportunity to reduce content (e.g. the text with Hero Points) especially if it is only information you need during character creation and not during play (e.g. the Armor maths hiding Prof + Item bonus).

Abilities and Inventory

Except for some design things (like consistent font sizes throughout the document), I didn't change much here. Also added light writing lines.

Exploration notes & actions

On the exploration page I included the common exploration actions and enlarged the note taking field

Action Descriptions and Tags

I also noticed that players wanted to know what actions did and that some simply did not have enough boxes so I added some more. Below that I included the TLDR tags used on weapons e.g. traits and critical specializations. Also included the Actions token marker in the actions and activities block.

Spells page

Remains unchanged except for writing lines on the Pen and Paper versions.

Companion Page

I have included a companion page as well with enough space to draw your little trouble maker.

Variant Rules Page

I have included an extra page for Free Archetype/Ancestry Paragon variant rules.
