"Page 42" For Pathfinder


Homebrew and House Rules


If you're familiar with 4E, then you're probably familiar with the famous "page 42" of the DMG, which contains your "go to" table for quickly figuring skill DCs, improvised hazard damage, and whatnot. This is a GM's second best friend (after +2/-2), and I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't something similar for Pathfinder. So I put this together using the "Monster Stats by CR" as my starting point.

Check it out!

Feedback welcome and desired. :)

I like it, but the damage column would be easier to read if it weren't centered. Maybe left justified but with filler spaces to account for numeric place differences?

Scarab Sages

Agreed.

Perhaps setting the open paren as the delimiter to use when centering the column? (Instead of using the default decimal point.)

I would also do the LowAtk and HiAtk columns as right-justified so that the digits line up nicely.

Very nice, though. I may add a macro to MapTool that brings up this information in a dockable frame so it can be in front of me when I'm prepping for a game...


Well, it was built with a script that did all the calculating and rendered in HTML, so there's only so pretty I can make it. Right now I'm trying to nail down the math to make sure it actually works before I put too much thought into formatting. :)

I like it so far. Just needs to be a little bigger.

Do you mind if I reproduce this on d20pfsrd.com?


Looks good, great job.


Fantastic job indeed, chap! Already printed and stored for my game tomorrow. Since I like to do a lot of improvisation (and my players are experts when it comes to choosing the less expected route possible, so it's not like I have a choice in the matter), this comes as bread from the sky.

Most appreciated. Buttock-impacting job.
