The first time one of the characters in our group makes an attack against a given defense for a monster, the actual number for that defense goes up on our turn tracker. We're using a custom one, though; dunno if Masterplan has that functionality.

This is what I did when I ran my game and subsequent DMs have used it too (though I make one of the players write it down rather than put it up on a turn tracker; if they don't care enough to keep track of it I'm certainly not expending effort to do it for them). It has a nice effect on some combats, where there's either one or two obviously more powerful enemies or a bunch of one type- they can feel the enemies out with attacks against various defenses before finding a low one to focus on. It helps if you have a lot of powers targeting different defenses in your party, of course.
