A three-page Dungeon Master reference for 5e, built for the 2024 rules (5.5e). It holds the numbers you look up most during a session, from setting a DC to building a fair encounter.
The text is large and the layout is black and white. Laminate it and keep it next to your notes or inside a DM screen.
What you get
- GM Cheat Sheet (3 pages)
- US Letter PDF, instant download
Page 1
Setting a DC (5 to 30), influencing NPCs and their attitudes, which skill knows what, conditions at a glance, running combat (surprise, knocking out, bloodied), hiding and light, movement and jumping, and creature size.
Page 2
The 2024 encounter XP budget for levels 1 to 20 (low, moderate and high), XP by challenge rating, travel pace, hazards (falling, burning, holding breath, extreme cold and heat), and object AC and hit points.
Page 3
Travel DCs by terrain (forage, navigate, search), long journeys and high altitude, deep water, frigid water and thin ice, fear and mental stress, magic item prices and crafting costs, the four poison types, and the cost of living.
Every rule was checked against the official 2024 System Reference Document.

The Player + GM Bundle adds a player sheet for your table and costs less than buying both: 5e Cheat Sheet Bundle: Player + DM (2024 Rules)
Printing tips
- Print at 100% or "Actual Size", not "Fit to Page".
- Print it your way: pages 1 and 2 double-sided on one sheet (flip on the long edge) with page 3 on its own, or every page single-sided.
- Cardstock and a laminating pouch work best.
