v1.2b update Based on feedback and some strange outcomes (>100% ratings for some race/class combos), I completely overhauled the evaluation formula, OP updated.

I thought about it, but: 1) You can already weight races at the bottom, including access to racial feats 2) As splats come out, that's going to be a lot of feats... and the spreadsheet is already pretty unwieldy

But that doesn't help with Wisdom... From what I can tell, you don't need both Str and Cha, but without Wisdom, you lose out on Lay on Hands and a bunch of useful secondary effects. :( But, but flavortext! ;)

As noted, those weights are to give people an example of how to use the spreadsheet. If you think the extra hp is worthless, feel free to drop it to 0; if you're not building a Paladin ignoring Strength, feel free to weight Strength-based powers (Type II Powers) higher. It's an evaluation tool...

Caveat: The sample weights represent only one of many possible "builds" per class, and are based on my (early) assumptions regarding the relative importance of the different class/race features for each build. That said... Perhaps unsurprisingly, Humans are a great choice for every PHB class...

This spreadsheet might help during this prioritizing process.

4E Class/Race Optimization Matrix (Excel spreadsheet) This first release only evaluates the PHB races, I'm working on the MM races. The fields you can affect are: * The "weight" fields for each aspect of the class, use integers for best results. * The "racial ability weight" fields to give...

I like that a lot - simple, uncluttered, effective! If you need any help implementing your final design in MSE, I'd be happy to be of assistance.

Ah, ok. There's no way to have MSE have actually scaling card sizes, because the card size is required to be defined before any functions (at least in the current version of MSE). If you just want to make sure there's no wasted whitespace, you'll have to go with that other option you mentioned -...

Based on your examples, I believe this is doable as a single template in MSE (I'd have to try it when I get home). Basic outline: * Card height set to maximum expected height (current version of MSE can't script this) * Use a three part card background: 1) Header (everything before the first...

The template does have melee, range, etc, just not as the "Attack:" line, because (1) I find it impractical for all the reasons I noted in the earlier post, and (2) the way I've done it matches the official Wizards power template in every extant example. I only have cards for the racial...

Some Keep on the Shadowfell spoiler info for Power Cards In this thread.

They're not in the zip file in an ready-to-open form; they're in the mse-set file. To get at them, rename the mse-set file's suffix to .zip and open it, they're all named image##. Note that MSE rescaled and cropped all of my processed image files before storing them, so they're not going to be...

They're action tokens from a dungeoncrawl boardgame called "Descent: Journeys in the Dark," I'm using them as counters to mark how many uses of Healing Word the Cleric has left, since it and Lay on Hands are powers that deviate from the "1-per-X" paradigm. I also use various tokens and markers...
