Text-based maps

Most of the time combat is in 'theater of the mind'. When knowing the positions with more granularity is fun we use this:


 * The battlefield is divided into areas that are roughly a distance movement action.
 * Under the name of each area I'll write the names of the characters present there.
 * Characters in the same zone are usually within range of each other.
 * Next to the monsters I mark the amount of damage they have suffered (but not their hp) and any conditions.

Example:
East entrance

Golem with mowhawk 🩸12

Kkaedes

Copper Golem 🩸16

Ranath

---

North corridor

Eyepatch Gnoll 🩸2

Fluorescent Gnoll (stunned)

Krukian

South entrance
