Announcing SR4 Grunt Builder version 1.1, an spread sheet, that can quickly put together the all the combat information for two grunt squads (each w/ the lieutenant). Everything you need to run a non magical combat. Includes Armor Dice Pools, Weapons, Defensive Pools, and ammo effects on one sheet of paper.
This speeds up game prep to no end when you can enter a few stats and skills then use pull down menu to select some weapons and armor.
It also makes combat go much faster because every thing you need is right on the sheet.
It is still a work in progress, but should prove very helpful.
Suggestions are welcomed.
This is designed to let a busy GM quickly whip out the opposition and have every thing he needs to run the combat.
Set the base stats, set the metahuman race, set the weapons, then set the skills.
Then add any mods to stats, skills, and weapons.
The Weapons are laid out for easy use during a combat (Weapon name, Dice Pool, Damager, AP, Recoil Compensation, Capacity, Armor type and so on.
The Defense and Armor pools are all laid out on the left edge.
So pick the weapon, roll the dice, give the damage with the AP mod to the armor and go on.
Most things have a Mod field so you can adjust stuff quick and easy.
Use the Build sheet to build the squad and the Grunt Sheet to view and print it.
The next project is to do the same for spellcasters.

It is black and white and fuzzy from being reduced enough to put it on the page.
