Good idea! Done!

Very nice indeed.

One question, how do you make the whatsitcalledicon which is right before the word "Acid", below in the quote?

Bite (standard; at-will) ◦ Acid

Its just a white bullet from MS Word, I've actually made a new crossstar icon I'm going to start using in the OCCs. That is I'm going to use it unless I find another, I included regular and inverted

What's mean?

i think one refers to a basic attack and the other refers to an attack with a maneuver or power attached.

The only thing is i dont know which one is which.

[Saitou]

If there's a circle, it means it counts as a basic attack. This means you can use this power for Opportunity Attacks.

Which reminds me, there needs to be a basic ranged attack symbol, too (circled bow and arrow)

[Ondo]

Here's a set of the dice that leaves the four corners transparent, instead of switching them to white like the rest of the transparent areas.

Am I the only one who really doesn't like the symbols?

(M)
Range

Okay, so why didn't we have dice before 4E?

[Ondo]

Another set of dice - this one uses the 14x14 gifs from Wizards (instead of the 12x12), then removes the black edges, then puts a transparent pixel back in each corner.

[NilesB]

Don't we need a basic ranged attack symbol?

I don't think I've ever seen that used, and I'm not sure what it would mean. The basic melee is the one you use for opportunity attacks and charges - how basic applies to a ranged attack, I don't know. Regardless, Wizards has one on their site here, as well as basic close and basic burst.

some people are visual learners like myself. I think the symbols are one of wizards best ideas ever... and i tend to lambaste them pretty hard.

· = alt+0183 in case you want a tiny one.

comparison: · ◦ •

More on topic . . . now anyone making pdfs will want a font with these symbols . . .

One last set - the attack icons with the color adjusted to try to make them match the default font color.

Any chance there could be two different sets, depending on the skin being used?

Basic ranged attacks apply for stuff like "Feather Me Yon Oaf" and things like the Ranger's immediate counter-attack ability. It is not necessarily something everyone will have, but at the very least we know that Magic Missiles count as a basic attack and will use that symbol.
