New 4E attack icon smilies

To make it a little easier to write 4E stat blocks and the like, I've added some new smilies to our list:

[Edited first post to show final versions]

They're not the best on this colour background. I'll gladly replace them if anyone can provide better images.

Hmm, how do the ones from wotc's site look?






Guess that's where you got 'em. Hmm. Maybe redo them in red or just in much thicker white. If I suddenly get time with _ms paint_ later, maybe I will I'd imagine someone has a solution. Kenneth White's been doing some for the monster compilation he does of mine. Maybe he has some good ones he can offer.

Those look about like what I'm using on Keterys' monsters, Wormwood. The basic attack is somewhat different, but it should be fine.

EDIT-I like those inverted ones, I may just have to use them.

Yes, they will definitely make posting monsters easier, and I like the white on the black background.

I plan on using Ondo's variants for future OCC files (once we get out of beta)

Have you considered doing smilies for the dice symbols they are using for recharges?

We can also use (m), (r), (b), (c) instead of the icons, althogh the icons look neat

But if you want your home-made monsters to look really cool, you'll also need some tiny dice for the rechargeable powers

And replaced them with Ondo's inverted versions of Wormwood's graphics. Looks great to me!

I was about to say that these were the most legible on my screen, but I see they've already been adopted. Sweet!!
