Abstract: A method for designating the attributes of a character in a game: providing a plurality of replaceable stackable pieces in which each stackable pieces in which each piece represents a attribute of the character/creature in play. A dynamic game piece representing a character/creature for use in a role play or simulation game comprising: a plurality of interchangeable stackable game pieces wherein; basic colored plates can be used to represent statistical information such as health status, magical effects, equipment in play, timing, spatial effects, etc. in conjunction with miniatures. Also, wherein; specialized pates can be painted to represent creatures/characters to be used as an alternative to miniatures or other tokens and are marked to indicate direction. Also, wherein, packaging of the game pieces can be accomplished in a way as to create a collectable aspect to the pieces.

Abstract: A skid plate for protecting the base of a central air-conditioning unit from damage caused by transport and corrosion, wherein the base of the central air-conditioning unit has feet depending therefrom with holes therein. The skid plate includes a plate that is slender, elongated, flats and rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped, and has an uppermost face for contacting at least one foot of the feet on the base of the central air-conditioning unit, a lowermost face for contacting a concrete slab upon which the central air-conditioning unit is to rest, and a pair of throughbores that extend from the uppermost face of the plate to the lowermost face of the plate and which are axially spaced apart a distance equivalent to that distance between, and alignable with, a pair of adjacent holes of the holes in the feet on the base of the central air-conditioning unit.
