DM Combat Tabs

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Track initiative, character conditions, and more on any DM screen. For a look at the different sheets of tabs, click on the "Quick Preview" link above. 

The kit includes 37 different tab types:

  • Player Character, Monster (2 types), NPC, Ally, Your Turn
  • Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Grappled, Incapacitated, Invisible, Paralyzed, Petrified, Poisoned, Prone, Restrained, Stunned, Turned, Unconscious
  • Death Save (Fail), Death Save (Success), Stable, Dead
  • Concentration, Inspiration, Reaction Used, Ready Action, Other
  • Lair Action Active, Legend Used, Recharge
  • Advantage, Disadvantage, Spell Effect, Roll to End Effect,
  • "More Problems" tab extension for those unfortunate monsters suffering many effects at once.

Fill the PC and Monster tabs out by hand after printing, or use the PDF form fillable options before printing. Forms can be saved for reuse.

Want to customize the tabs for your game? Do you want to track different conditions, spell effects, or other information than what is provided in the kit? Do you run the same adventure often and want to create tabs for the specific monsters used? Use the customizable tabs to add your own text to the front and/or back of the tabs. Add images to the front of the PC and Monster tabs. (Note, image functionality varies by PDF reader, including image file type allowed. Image functionality is not available on all PDF readers. Tested with Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit Reader.)

5 fully customizable tab types:

  • Player Character (Front and back: character name, class, level, race, faction, player Name. Front only: image. Back only: AC, HP, Passive Perception, Vision type and distance)
  • Monster (2 types)/NPC/Ally, (Front and back: Name. Front only: Image. Back only: AC, HP, minimal notes)
  • Condition tabs: Long and short.

Keep organized and find the right tab quickly during the game using one of two rack types:
DM Screen Tab Rack: Two racks designed to hang on the DM's screen to minimize loss of table space. It works with the official standard D&D screens or most any other screen type. 
Tabletop Tab Rack: A simpler rack folded into a sawtooth shape to hold the tabs. It sits on the table top.

Storage options: Assemble the included custom box to store the DM Screen Tab Racks with the tabs still in place. Other storage suggestions are also included.

Printing on cardstock is highly recommended, but thick or regular paper can be used.

Cutting and folding is required to use the tabs and the racks. Assembly of the optional storage box requires glue or tape.

Formatted for US letter sized paper.

The tabs are also usable on table tents and miniatures.

PURCHASER
I keep getting the error message "Cannot find or create the font 'JSL-Ancient'" when trying to fill out the player character tabs. Instead of letters, my typing produces black circles. This happens on multiple operating systems (Windows and MacOS) and on both Acrobat Reader DC and Acrobat 9 Standard. Any help?

Sorry for the delay. I was remiss in checking in of late, through the holidays. I'm sorry you're having difficulties. I haven't run into this problem before, and haven't had anyone report it. I tested it originally with Acrobat Reader DC, so I would have expected it to work with it. I don't think you need JSL ancient installed on your computer, the PDF should have it. However, the font is a free font that is on the original creator's website (and others): https://www.shipbrook.net/jeff/typograf.html . You might try and install it and see if that helps. You might also try downloading the DM Tabs file again just in case something odd happened. I also tested it with Foxit Reader, so that's an option if you're willing to install it.

I did run into an issue in testing where Foxit Reader would show the text in some other font like arial when typing, then switch to the right font either afterwards or on printing (can't remember which now). However, I just tried it again and it looks like the latest version...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
