Making your own power cards

Here are my Action Point cards, for what it's worth. The logo was taken from the seriously epic thread here on ENWorld, LOL

Ander's template upgraded and online !

Hello to all D&D players !

I have finally uploaded the Ander's template I enhanced. I made some important modifications on the template, so it took me more time than I expected. But I think it was worth the effort.
You can find the template here : Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

You will need
- the D&D-Ander.zip file. It contains the common files, as well as a README.txt which explains how to install it.
- one of the language package : D&D-Ander-french or D&D-Ander-english.zip. These packages are mutually exclusive.
- one or more of the graphic packages : D&D-Ander-Simple, -Shaded, -Marble or -Parchment

download what you need, install it into the MSE2 directory (all the packages contain the data directory), install the fonts which are in the fonts directory, and that's all !

The new features of the template are :
- 9 colors (green, red, black, blue, orange, grey, iron, silver, gold)
- 4 styles (simple - printer friendly, Marble, Shaded and Parchment)
- graphic elements (left and right circles, text bar) tunable separately
- left circle allows action or items icons ; right circle deals with range and items icons
- damage icon can be added
- special symbols for items powers in the rule zone
(I forgot to mention it in the readme ! here are the shortcuts for the icons :
s m o i f for action icons, % ~ , . ? for frequence icons. Use the symbol button to activate)
- card color ar graphic shape, class, nature of power, frequency are all in english or french depending on the package you installed.

But I still have some upgrades to do in the future :
- allow several damage icons and increase a bit their size
- create a "language pack helper" to allow the creation of other language packages
- allow special symbols to be resized with text font size.
- allow insertion of image
- create a tool to easily transform "old Ander sets" into new one.
So expect some new versions to come in following weeks.

Here are some sample cards created with the template. Sorry they are in french, I lost the english cards I made.

Please do not hesitate to send me your feedback !!
I hope this wil be useful

Uploaded an update to the set. It now includes the powers from Dragon 367, as well as the barbarian powers from Dragon 368 (an edited version of Jynxnet's barbarian set, so thanks Jynxnet).

Adventurer's Vault Project-COMPLETED

A few days ago I said I might do Grandad style cards for Adventurer's Vault. Turns out I decided that I would but so I don't lose focus halfway through (Cataloguing pages and pages of magic items is getting monotonous ) I'm releasing the parts as I do them. It also means I can fix problems when they are reported. When I finish the book I'll upload them as one .pdf
Oct 30 - Chapter 1-Equipment. This includes the new types of armor, weapons, mounts and vehicles (plus movement action cards) and alchemy (including new feats).
Nov 2 - Chapter 2- Magic armor and weapons have been uploaded.
Nov 3 - Chapter 2- Holy Symbols, Orbs, Rods, Staffs, Wands = uploaded
Nov 7 - Chapter 2- Arms, Feet, Hands and Companion/Mount slot items uploaded
Nov 22 - Chapter 2- Head, Neck, Rings and Waist Magic Items! Almost DONE.
Dec 14- Completed! Edited most of the previous sections too. Features new icons for cards and redone mounts.

I have the mse set file for the AV items if you would like to use them. It's based on your set but I'm sure you can make them look better with icons and such. But at least you wouldn't have to type or C/P everything in.

That is really cool. Cheers for that. It will be helpful.

Oh and I might as well than Ander00 for his set too while I'm at it. I've been using it. Glad to see the update for the barbarian.

Sorry for not reading the whole topic, but will Anders' cards fit into standard Magic: The Gathering card sleeves?

yes.

If you put a magic card behind them it makes them nice and stiff too.

So since the official character creator is going to spit out to .xml, who amidst our group is currently fluent enough to be able to make pretty card formats?
