[QUOTE="erf_beto, post: 4202639, member: 47533"] I like dmg icons, love the idea (I'll use them, for sure), but I think maybe there's just too many icons for power cards (attack types, action types and damage types). These are prety straightforward, but I think maybe we should consider when and where will they be used before anything. Don't take this as criticism, I'm just not seeing where they'll all fit together on power cards. Some powers might cause different damage types, so they probably have to be cramed into the text, wich will hurt visibility. For that, you could make a black on white version, for scaling purposes, and reserve the greyscale ones you've shown for other places. I for one think they will come prety handy once I start making monster cards with a DDM template: resistences and vulnerabilities will look very nice with these damage icons! As for suggestions, I think the poison, psychic and thunder need replacements. For the poison, I think you could use a snake or a fang driping poison. I would suggest that radiation warning sign, but this is fantasy and should be more fantasy-related. For the psychic, go with Pokemon: the picture of an eye, like the egyptian Eye of Horus glyph. Thunder is tough, I can't see anything really... perhaps something more like a supersonic scream/wave: [SIZE=1])[/SIZE][SIZE=2])[/SIZE][SIZE=3])[/SIZE][SIZE=4])[/SIZE][SIZE=5])[/SIZE] (although, this actualy look like a cel phone signal reception :p) But I'm curious: how would the Force icon look like?
