I have the official player mats, and they're great. However, I haven't quite figured out how to keep track of each characters stats and use the mats to their fullest potential. Previously, I used an unofficial mat found over at BGG.

This mat had a place to keep the draw, discard and buried piles as well as have the stats available on the front. The back of the mat had a place to record each character's deck.
Now that I have the official player mats, I want to use a card sized character card/sheet, without marking up the original. Clear sleeves and grease pencils don't seem to do the job for me. I've resorted to taking the official Paizo character sheets and cutting out the important info (Skills, Powers, Cards), and folding it in half. It's slightly smaller than the original character cards, but it works.
I'm wondering if somebody has a better solution.
I've seen people use penny sleeves with permanent marker. It only costs you a penny.
One idea I had is to try photocopying (or scanning and printing) the skill/power side of the card. You wouldn't need to copy the other size since you can use the character sheets to track deck size. I'm not sure how Paizo would feel about you doing that in terms of their copyright. And I'm not suggesting you go passing them around or posting them on the internet.
Maybe Vic could weigh in if he sees this and lets us know whether making copies of the skill side of the character cards for our own personal use is ok or not.
Excellent. Thanks Vic. I appreciate your attentiveness to our questions.
