D&D Hit Point Trackers

 Wanted to make Something to help my players keep track of their hit points during fights

  so I came up with these trackers so easy to make and use during the games.

All that is needed is some foam board and a old cereal box and a tooth pick 

to make the bases of these trackers.

Start off with a piece of cereal board that is 3 1/2 inches by 2 inches to make a template for your bases.

 I just ran a line threw the center of it lengthwise and came in an inch on each side and added the squares were the numbers can then be seen. 

Then added 2 holes with a small punch for where the pieces will be added to hold it together.

Now use this template to cut out the foam board pieces that will be needed

1 with the squares cut out and 1 without the squares cut out.

Cut 1/2 inch pieces of a tooth pick and glue them into the bottom piece of your base.

Cut out two 2inch circles out of the cereal box

print out dials and place on top or make your own.

Place holes in center of your number disks and place on toothpicks

Place top base on and this is how it all goes together.

But who just wants this plain mess to track their hit points i know my players wouldn't want that so I get busy taking them all apart and decorating them to fit each players game play.

Here is how I did 1 of them

I stained the front and back pieces black and added a gold trim around the disks. I also added packing tape over them for added strength and so that they would turn more easily.

Scratched in some wood grain and plank lines to look like wood then painted.

Coffee stained some paper to make a scroll  used tooth picks to make the scroll handles 

and used some jewelry spacer for the decorative handles.

Attach scroll to top wood piece cut out the holes foe the number and put it all together.

Here are all of the designs I came up with for my adventures

Scroll laying on stone ground

Open chest full of gems

Stone ground covered in skeleton pieces

A pagan altar

A scroll on wood with a feather quill

a open chest full  of gold and scrolls

Bards instruments and music sheets laying on wood floor

and finally a plain wooden floor 

still not sure what i want to do to to this  one .

I hope you find this easy to follow and come up with some great trackers of your own.

Would love to see what you come up with!!!
