When I first heard about Ravnica I thought that DND and MtG would try to make some sort of Rosetta stone/ key between the two.
It has been a year and this never happened. I recently took the matter into my own hands.
I made an card on MTGCardsmith.com I call "DND Character Reference Card". It is the shorthand guide I use for making PC stat cards. This set is based off of my current 3 Ravnica games. Other than the Logo/Patch all of the minis I painted myself and the other art is mine original stuff. I have been trying to list "Pre-Painted" for minis that I have purchased and not painted or repainted. I wish there was a bit more space to list off the company where I got the minis from. I am still working on that.
I have also made a few NPCs, Monsters, and even a location card. I plan on making these regular size and handing them out to the party. I wish DNDB had something like this so that I would not have to do it by hand. I feel like this answers most of the questions a DM asks players about their character sheets, especially at low levels.
IMHO The most confusing part about this is the skills so here is an overview:
The DND Character Reference Card (See above) does most of it. The skills (there are 18 of them on the standard character sheet) are listed in order so A:(01)(02)(+3) would mean that the character has: Acrobatics with a +1 bonus Animal Handling with a +2 bonus Arcana with a +3 bonus AND because there is a "+" sign on the card it means that the character is proficient in that skill.
NOTE: This is still a WIP but I thought you might be interested, and I am hoping that a few of you will give me tips for improvements before I make too many more and have to go back and fix all of the ones I have created. Here is a link my first set, "The Nightmare King"
Listed below are an example of the Reference Card and a PC to show what it looks like:
Here is a contact card and a location card:

I do plan on giving a PC card to each PC. And having a 3 ring binder and making location cards and contact cards for the party in one place. That way players will open the binder and ask about a particular thing rather than "Who was that one guy we met and what was the name of the bar we met him at?"
Also this is a cool way for the Players who do not keep good notes to have notes for specific contacts.

Would probably be good to have a reference card too as it's fairly easy to remember the order of attributes (Str, Dex, Con, Int, Wis, Cha) not so much for the skills. I didn't see a place for level either unless that's part of the middle bar for card type?
Yup Dos246, you nailed it! After the level is an abbreviation for the Pact Team (adventuring company) that the PC belongs to. These cards (hopefully) will help with a series of skill challenges that are coming up in my campaigns.

cool, but if you don't give all cards to all players, it may get confusing. this is why character sheets and battle maps are how they are.
MY RATING: 3/5
