4e Fan Creations and House RulesWorking on variant powers? Statting up a PC race or your version of a monster? Creating or converting an adventure? Put it here!
I am having an issue when it comes to creating new cards using the Hirahito set.
I can create the card normally, including background, symbols, and text. The problem is that the database refuses to see the necessary flags to keep the new cards sortable or grouped with others of its type.
For example: I can create a feat power (lets call it 'Channel Divinity: Divine Shield'). It requires you to be a worshipper of 'Shield' and requires you to take the feat 'Divine Shield'. It is an encounter ability, and can be used at a range of 2.
When creating the card, the card will hold all of the necessary information. When looking at the database, however, the only field that auto updates is "Name". The "Class/Race" column (which should be "Feat Power" at this point) remains blank. As do the rest of the database fields.
This could become particularly problematic if I was creating a new class and needed to input several abilities that require the class name and level to be associated with the card in the database.
Is there something that I am doing incorrectly in order to achieve the desired effect? I've tried clicking in the database field itself expecting it to be editable, but had no luck with that, either.
Until that time...

I tried going through as many pages as I could before I just figured I'd post. I grabbed the Magic Set Editor and the files for 4E powers, are there any cards for rituals any place, or magic items? I saw the empty magic item templates that came in the 4e stuff, so I could build them, but I guess I'd really love ritual cards.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings...
I know that the Hirahito set has Rituals already included in them; so you should check that set out. The Hirahito set also includes magic items.
At last check, the Ander set doesn't appear to have rituals or magic items, though blank templates for items exist.
Until that time...

Since I wanted a mix between Ander style and Hirahito's Simple style for my cards, I made a new style greatly inspired by Ander's design.
I liked Ander's simple and elegant cards, but not the landscape format, especially not for rituals, and other cards with a lot of text, and since Hirahito's set included rituals and magic items, I combined them.
Here is the result (unzip and put into data directory).
I only created one of the parchment backgrounds, the medium / light, so if you want one of the other two, you need to create the images yourself (from the template file).
Please let me know if you find any errors. I'm new at this.
Thanks a lot. Only catch is that I won't be able to take a closer look at your cards in the next few days, with three gaming sessions and an unfinished IRS report in my calendar.
Seeing rituals done this way would be pretty cool!
Cheers, LT.
I'm attaching the files. I made the background silver and I think you may need the custom files I added that Ander created. I had to rewrite a bunch of stuff for them to show up so I'm including that too.
I had to shorten some of them but if they were shortened, it is noted and where the full version is located.
Anyone taken a crack at putting together a set for the swordmage? The book is out today (mine is somewhere between Amazon's shipping center and my house), and I know some people got it early... I ask only because I'm playing one tomorrow and I'm not sure if I'll have the books in time... But all the information other than the powers was in the RPGA preview.
If anyone was able to do it you'd have my eternal gratitude.
I will be adding/updating my power cards (compiled and modified from other contributors) to the site below. These are pdf files with completed cards in a style similar to what you see in the attached file.

I like the look of your template, but I think that in the "Att vs Def" box, the title needs to be smaller. If you make it a title that covers just the top of the box, we would be able to print them out and write in the value instead of squeezing it somewhere else.
Remember, alot of us have taken to the suggestion of sleeving the cards so that we can write in the values and make other various notes.
Thanks for the template - looks great!

Thanks for the feedback. I actually tried using the boxes like you described in my game for people to fill in their own numbers. My players either didn't like the boxes and preferred them to be gone, or didn't end up actually using the boxes.
That's why I ended up going with the design the way they are. The players that want to have their numbers, tend to just have a short stat block on their character sheet for that.
Thanks for the feedback though and keep it coming.

Would you attach also, the mse-sets and the a templates also?
Anyway I think the empty boxes are meaningless. In my tem all peple handwrinting is unreadable, including meg. So we prefer to make personal cardstes and print them. Ability bonuses changing only by 8 level, so we have bot to reprint them to often. :-)
