Pro-tip: Character Power Indexes
« on: April 14, 2020, 16:58:00 PM »
Hello. It's ja boi, pvp-god gamerboy27 and today i will be giving you protips that will help you avoid powergaming or stalling shit in the middle of a fight.

The jist of it is simple:
  • Make a Google account. Get google documents, a free service that lets you make up and share docs online. Create a new document titled after your character. Bookmark the file.
  • Access your books, and copy + paste every single power that your character has in that document. Highlight the titles of your power and set it as Heading.
  • Highlight, change the color or do whatever you want to make it easier for you to spot important information in a given power description.
  • When in combat, pop open your power index and you can now easily navigate to all of your catalog of powers, without having to shuffle through the book and wasting everyone's time. It's "EZ" as gran'ma booma likes to say.

Unless you're kerdav or shmoits and change your character every 2 weeks, this should last for a long time. The time spent making it will be less than the time you spend browsing the books every time you forgot a roll. It's an easy way to have everything together in your own special little book. Since the content is highlighted, you'll also have an easier time remembering. No more shall you take 2 minutes to double check a roll and wait for a pesky 400 page book to fully load.
 
Try it out, it's free!


This bad boy is what I used on Leopold Licht, it contains all of the powers I possessed,  the maneuvers I could perform and the house rules applied to those powers. You can also make a set of external resources and information and attach it to your document.

Spoiler for Vampire index example:

Lasombra central




Anyway, just an idea if you wish to be a tad more efficient in combat and tend to forget things.
