Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

This also works with shorthand text! On my sheet I’d write the ability Brutal Slam as “7/10/13 damage, push 1/2/4”. Do whatever works best for you.
About to play in a session of #Drawsteel? Here's a tip
Make a cheatsheet of your characters' abilities in your own shorthand. Of course, have your full sheet nearby, but this makes it much easier for me to visualize what my character actually can do on a turn. Cannot recommend enough!

Something I've been curious about: Are there any #DrawSteel communities outside of the main #MCDM discord/subreddit/etc.? The only one I'm aware of is the homebrewery discord, and that's still closely tied. I'm guessing there might be some on some RPG forums, but I'm not familar with those spaces.

In tactical RPGs we often see the "how do I optimize MY hero" discussion, which certainly happens with Draw Steel, but I have also seen a lot of people say stuff like, "If you really wanna optimize in DS, you should focus on the party not the individual." That was by design, and I'm glad it works.
