It's kinda cheesy, but just make up for it somehow. 

I've always gone with "what is rolled is Rolled" when it comes to magic items, but in some cases, the Magic far outweighs the levels and needs to be accounted for. A Zirconium suit would be news, and many Much Higher level people would probably want to track it down, and so would the original owner. 

That's good. I'll hang on to that thought.
I was thinking about the party in the middle of a battle with whatever and in the middle of it, the PC wearing the suit magically disappears. Seems that a shaman from a small village up in the north has been scrying for a village champion to save them from some powerful foe or foes attacking them. A lot of the menfolk have been slaughtered and they need a hero so the shaman "summoned" the mighty warrior in the magical suit of armor (I had all the players make a 2nd character "just in case" so they'd be none the wiser - this way, the player whose PC disappeared would have a character to play). I'd also take him aside before the game to let him know what's going on and offer some kind of compensation at the end of the adventure.

Well, been playing and GMing since 1st Edition and I just got my 3E books, so I'm thinking of making the jump and Hyperborea-izing my regular D&D campaigns. My world is generic in the sense that I've used several systems (D&D Rules Cyclopedia, Labyrinth Lord, Swords & Wizardry, Fantastic Heroes and Witchery, etc.) and I'd like to keep the tropes but kind of overlay Hyperborea on to it. In other words, I want to keep the demihumans, humanoids, monsters, etc. but use the  Hyperborea rules and most of the Pup Fantasy stuff.
Let's see what happens, shall we?

I figure if there's something lacking I can always go "back to the source" AKA 1E AD&D.

I like the sheet but I use LibreOffice. The Excel one looks a lot prettier, any way to just get a blank PDF of it to roll my own?

For the PDF that I am cobbling together, the "Ready Reference Sheets" for AS&SH, I'm now zeroing in on the following tables, which is overkill for a Ref Screen, but it gives you an idea of what I have nailed down as helpful and essential info for referees to have at their disposal.

Thanks Jeffery.  I'll be doing this for a 4x6" 6-panel screen but this gives me a good place to start.

In hindsight I regret I was a bit harsh on my part but yes, fine review.

Smokestack, did you pull the Hyperborea font from one of the PDF's? I have to imagine that's a custom font. I'd love to be able to put it on the front of mine.

Actually, that font/header I pulled from this very forum.  I found Jeff's thread where he shows the new header and used that.  I want to do a color version now.  I'll post pics when I do.

One small highlight from our very first AS&SH game last Saturday - playing Rats in The Walls, the PCs were in the basement of the tavern and discovered the secret trap door. They looked at it, Eric's barbarian grabbed the edge and with a loud roar did our first Extraordinary Feat of Strength LIKE A BOSS! Flipped that heavy flagstone like a tiddly-wink! Applause all around.

Printed out the AS&SH GM Screen and redid the front for use in my new Hammerdog screen.  Yeah it's pink.  Not much choice but whaddya gonna do.

My two coppers,

I've recently threw off my rose-colored glasses and made my peace with Ascending AC, as it IS faster.  BUT, I still complain about it out of laziness.  All this 30+ years of classic modules and I have to go through them and convert the AC on all the NPCs and critters?  Too much work.
