This DM's combat screen uses tables are from the 1980-1981 B/X Rules. Errors may exist and a fewnotes are included for where the Basic and Expert books vary (such as in Dwarf/halfling saving throwsat level 1 to 3; and Cleric spells for 6th level).

If you aren't that adept at dealing with printing, beware that:

* These are formatted for 8.5” x 11” paper.

* These are formatted for printing landscape (sideways) for people who prefer low and wide screens.Check to see if your software requires settings to make the program print it landscape.

* These are formatted without margins for the pages - the author prints these using settings in PDFprograms that use the margins of the printer (shrink to fit printer margins, etc.). Printer margins differand I did not want to limit the page to the mediocre limits of some printers when some people mayhave printers that allow small margins.

These can be printed on common paper and taped/paper-clipped/glued to card stock/posterboard/cardboard from boxes - a 9” x 12” base for the screen (instead of 8.5” x 11”) makes it easier topaper-clips.
