As for representing health in the hundredth's...

I haven't made it all the way through the book yet, and didn't want to spoil anything by looking ahead too much. So, I just skimmed the book and didn't see too many enemies in the hundreds to warrant making one with three columns. However, looking through again there are a number of tougher enemies later on that will require an updated tracker, or just printing off two of these and trimming the titles off the top. I will try to make an updated version as soon as I can.

....or when I get to that part of the adventure.

P.S. I love this book!!!

Glad you guys like it! You're pretty much right on Johntfs. It's basically the left and right digits of both opponent's health. Each side (hero and enemy) has two columns of numbers to represent their current health. As the player/enemy take damage you just move the markers you are using to update the current health.

Print out a second Enemy damage tracker and lay it next to the first one, applying the same method. That should let you fight enemies with up to 9999 Health. If you're fighting something with more Health than that, print out another Enemy marker, etc. Or maybe try something other than fighting whatever it is, because otherwise you'll lose or be rolling dice all day long.

For Printing just right-click and Save the image the Print the saved image.

As for how it works, here's my take. Say your character has 45 Health and is fighting something with 30 Health. On the Hero bookmark, put a couple of dimes (or whatever) on the left 4 and the right 5. For the Enemy put two more dimes (or whatever) on the left 3 and the right 0 then being the combat.

Say after one exchange the Hero takes 6 points of damage and the Enemy takes 7 damage. For the Hero, move the dime on the left 4 down to the left 3 and move the right dime from 5 up to 9 (the Hero has 39 Health remaining). For the Enemy, move the left dime from 3 to 2 and the right dime from 0 to 3 (the Enemy has 23 Health remaining). As the Hero and Enemy take or heal damage move the dimes as needed to keep track of their Health until the fight ends.

This is an awesome idea! Would you explain how it works in more detail please. And how do I print this?

Those bookmark-trackers look beautiful. Thank you for making them. I will definitely use them on my next play-through of the books.

Made a damage tracker that can double as a book mark. Just use 4 glass beads/gems, coins, or anything else that you want to keep track of your, and your enemy's damage!
