this is going to seem like a really dumb question, but what is the purpose of handouts?

[aliasmask]

I don't use them often, but I used it for gaming reference material, like a cryptic scroll. The players can then reference it whenever they feel like it rather than asking the DM about what it said because they didn't write it down.

Ah so it's a fancy notes/props system, thanks!
