[QUOTE="Solmancer, post: 4209817, member: 65199"] One order of picky, coming right up! ;) - I don't think the side bar is interfering with anything at all; the silvery border between the main text and the tabs on the side bar prevents that, if you ask me. - To be honest, I'd say the top button is best for attack type, and that having the action should be more of a communication elsewhere on the card (color, topleft symbol, whatever). Additionally, for attack type, I think fitting the word "Ranged"/"Burst" into the tab would be ideal (something like "Ranged" at the top, the symbol in the middle, then the actual range/burst-radius on the bottom; alternatively the symbol on top and "Ranged 20" on the bottom or what have you); spell it out, in other words. I also wouldn't consider it redundant to keep the "Ranged 20" text in the card, either, as you currently have. - For some reason I just can't stand seeing the "Int vs. Ref" (the "Hit") field in general in the tabs. I don't know why, but I just look at it and go "bleh". It also seems a bit odd to have the "Hit" data and not the "damage" in the case for a power such as Magic Missile. If you want "at a glance" information, shouldn't both be there? Just a thought. @everyone-making-their-own-templates: Something I think would be neat, and this is something I've been trying to visualize and failing on, would be if you did a watermarkish layer of "At-Will" and so on behind the power's name, sort of superimposed behind the text but still relatively readable. (I'm having dejavu that I posted about this before... Can't post-search to verify this...) ... I could really use Photoshop experience right about now, and Photoshop itself. :P [/QUOTE]
