Translate a Tabletop RPG Rulebook Chapter Into a Quick-Reference Card
The rule is in the book and nobody remembers exactly how it works mid-session. This converts the relevant chapter into a quick-reference card: the core mechanic in plain language, common actions as numbered steps, frequent edge cases as brief rulings, and a summary box. Paste the section and name the game system and rules area.
