Urlord Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Hello Hero Players, I'm looking for minimalist Stat Block ideas for enemies in a heroic campaign. I want to put the enemies on index cards for easier reference and handling during play. Do any of you know of any such stat blocks? If not, what is the minimum information you would like to see on such a card? Keep in mind that there are two sides to the card and would some information be better for one side or the other.

Ndreare Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I use a trimmed down version of a Hero Designer export. The output fits easily on a 4x6 card in portrait layout. I would attach a image, but I do not have it hosted on the web. If you go to the following link and download the file titled "IST 01 - What About The Goblins.pdf" you will see the Goblins and Soldiers fit easily on a card with room for a picture. http://www.herogames.com/forums/files/download/210-in-service-to-the-throne/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I really just need OCV, DCV, Def, Stun, Con, and however much damage they do. Maybe movement, any special powers. I usually just jot that stuff down on a scrap of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netzilla Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 For my true cannon fodder, I only put down as much information as will fit on a 3x5 index card (at most). Basically its classification (generic thug, tough thug, thug leader, etc), a stat line, one or two attacks and whatever defenses it might have. Something like the following: Generic Warrior STR DEX CON INT EGO PRE OCV DCV OMCV DMCV 11 8 11 8 8 8 5 4 3 3 SPD PD ED REC END BOD STN Leap Run Swim 2 4 4 6 20 11 20 4m 14m 4m Armor: Leather (DEF 2) Attacks: Axe 1d6 Killing I also use this same format for minor non-combat NPCs as well. Just some stats and a brief rundown of skills: Shopkeeper STR DEX CON INT EGO PRE OCV DCV OMCV DMCV 8 8 8 10 8 12 3 3 3 4 SPD PD ED REC END BOD STN Leap Run Swim 2 2 2 4 16 8 16 4m 12m 4m Skills: 12-: Barter, Appraise 10-: PS - Shopkeeper, Local Knowledge, Gossip 8-: Climbing, Legends, Religion Knows own shop like back of his hand: +1 PER only in shop For NPCs that are slightly more important (minor recurring villains, party henchmen and the like), I'll use an abbreviated character sheet.In neither case do I worry about point totals or the like. I just fill in whatever values are appropriate and make up any needed details on the spot. I only do full character sheets for major villains and the like. The OpenOffice Calc templates I use for these are attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netzilla Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Huh. Don't know why they didn't attach. Okay, here's the Dropbox link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6749468/NPC_and_Minion_Templates.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
