I've used bitmaps of the PHB I own for the text to make the whole process move a lot faster.
... I'd like to host the PDFs somewhere for everyone to download, any takers?
Sorry mate, but that constitutes distributing copyright materials and we can't allow ENworld to be used for such discussions (or for distributing copyright materials either).

How do you arrange those MSE files to open the set up?
I donwloaded Ander00's MSE files, but haven't been able to get MSE to open them properly.
What do you suggest as a procedure to open the Power Cards set up that Ander00 has thoughtfully made?
I'm not following. All the items have a box labeled 'Price'. What exactly are you trying to do?Thanks. I've corrected that error as well as a few others, and incorporated the PHB errata into
Yes, but there is no field where you can enter the price into the price box (or if there is I cannot find / trigger it). I would like to enter the price / value of the item prior to printing it.
I would also like to second the request for a gold card without the circles, and ditto for the blue card.
Put everything from 'mse-template-Ander.rar' into the 'data' directory of the MSE installation.
Open the 'core_complete.mse-set' contained in 'core_complete_set.rar'.
If you have never dealt with .rar archives before, you may need to get WinRar or some other compression tool that supports .rar files.
If you have previously used MSE, you might have to delete the 'mse8.config' file found in your '...Application Data/Magic Set Editor' directory.
If you have problems with MSE itself, you might have to download the Windows 9x fix, even if you are using Windows XP.

I see. I might add that if/when I make an update to the game/style files.
For all the PDF-fans out there: One of the guys in my group has made my set into PDFs (with separate files for each class and such, each about 20 MB in size). I'll see about making those available (though the current files were made before the latest batch of fixes to the set).
Thanks for the Blue and Gold background without circles. I've added them as new options in the background dropdown in my game file.
If it is not too much trouble, I'd love to get similar backgrounds for the other colors too, primarily the grey, silver and iron. I have no plans for using the green, red and black without the circles, I'd like backgrounds for them as well, in case I should come up with a use for them.
I've already used the blue background to make Condition Cards and Disease Cards.
I have updated the MSE files to include choices for the new backgrounds in the dropdown, and to allow entering the price (or other text) in the box on the bottom right. Attached in the zip file if anyone wants them.

I don't know how to thank you for these power cards! I would have EASILY paid $10.00 for them from an online store. Do you have Pay Pal? I will gladly send you something as a small token of thanks...
Very nice thanks for the pdf, extremely helpful. I would though hope that the updated 14/06 set can be made into pdf's as well.
While possible, I can't guarantee it. Those printjobs never finished for me and according to my friend it took him something like 15 minutes per file, so he probably won't want to do it after every update.

Sure. I'm a bit stressed right now, but I'll put those up when I have a couple of minutes to spare.

I appreciate the sentiment, and oh boy, could I ever use whatever money I can get my hands on right now (to, for example, buy more 4E products, or maybe even eat), but I don't think WotC would want me to be taking any for this.
Getting on the ENWorld frontpage would make my day though, so if you've found the cards helpful enough, feel free to drop my name in the Fan Creation pick of the week thread .
Now that (almost) everyone has their books, here's the update to my MSE template, as well as a complete set of cards. I hope some of you will find either of those useful.
The best power cards I've seen so far -- very clean and good use of white space, clear space for attack modifier/damage, and the three most important classifiers (type of action, usage, and type of attack) are very clear as the top three items.
Ander00, I LOVE your power cards. They have made my gaming groups' lives much easier and will be an indispensable part of our character creation workflow! Printing and cutting them out as cards works great, but also just printing them on a sheet works quite well by itself.
This is mainly for the case of just printing a sheet of cards and not cutting them out, but I have only one request. When you get around to another update, could you include 8 'blank' cards (kinda like the item cards) so that when you print a sheet of cards for your character, if you have less than 8, you can fill the remaining 'slots' with blank cards that one could fill in later after leveling? If your not chopping up the cards, you could also print 8 blank ones on the back to fill in later too.
If you want to run the different MSE sets out there which derived from the same (and now incompatible) D&D.mse-game, do the following:
1) Create a new folder (MSE-Ander / MSE-Mercurio / etc).
2) Create a subfolder named data in the main folder.
3) Copy the mse.exe into the main folder (from the original install folder)
4) Copy the en.mse-locale folder into the data folder (from the original install folder).
5) Copy (or extract) the chosen MSE set into the data folder.
This way you can have one set of files for each MSE set you want, even if a subset of the different sets conflicts with each other. You can even copy them onto a usb disk and run them on any computer.
When I print Ander's cards with the MSE, the bottom row on the page gets about a 1/4" of the card cut off. Does anyone know what's going on here?
MSE creates pages for A4 paper rather than the U.S. standard of 8.5x11. A4 paper is slightly longer.
About the only real solution I've found is to print to PDF and then use my PDF software to print them scaled to fit, which of course makes them smaller than intended.
