What tables do you copy for the players ?
« on: May 03, 2008, 09:26:59 PM »
Im planning to copy at least the static and moving maneuver tables, and the weapon table for each characters main weapon, so the players will have those available to look at.

What other tables do you provide to the players, and what do you keep as "GM access" ?

Spell Lists and the character creation summary sheets.  The skill list alone is worth around thirty minutes of page flipping.

Spell List are number one.

 An eddited list of their spells. (if its above the level they have studied, they dont know any specifics untill they start to learn that portion.)
 And ocasionaly, the hit and crit chart. especialy if I keep loosing it, like Plasma.

For each player, his character's:
- Spell lists
- Weapon/Attack charts

For all, a copy of:

- SCSM mods table
- Spell Fumble table  ;D
- BAR table
- A summary of Spell Mastery mods

to keep on the table.
I suppose a magician might, he admitted, but a gentleman never could.

Same as Arioch, but also the crit tables that go to those attack tables.

Spells and attack tables. Some of them have criticals, I've gone back and forth on that one.

Don't really have anything that is 'GM access' only.  More charts the players have at the ready, the less page flipping the GM has to do.

For spell lists, I also recommend highlighting how high up the player can cast to keep it simpler.

Also the stun maneuver chart if you use it or any SoHK skill descriptions/variations you might be using.

GM's however do get a little testy if the players are seen skimming a monster book however...

 I copy the profession cost page, any spell lists, weapon charts but no crit charts, armor mods for casting, maneuver chart so they get the idea what is going on and any maps or other setting material.

Each player receives a copy of his/her spell lists and that is about it. Arms Law usually rotates at each session so each person gets a feel on how it is used.

Back in the days I did create a sheet with all the spell modifiers from RM2 Spell Law gathered on one sheet of paper. Maybe I should start handing that out as well.

I think violence in games only causes violence in real life if the person in question has an insufficient mental capacity to deal with the real world in the first place. But, that's more the fault of poor genetics and poorer parenting than it is the fault of a videogame

In addition to his character sheet (containing all skills, equipment, and so forth), each player in my group has the attack tables of each of his weapons, his spell lists, and a sheet containing various infos and modifiers so they can handle most of their rolls ingame. The sheet can be found in the following file (it's called "player's help (print)"):
