[QUOTE="Alphastream, post: 4414842, member: 11365"] I like these a lot. The cards have a great look, and I [B]really[/B] like that they have an image on the front. I'm torn on how useful the two icons are. In the examples you gave I see some utility but also grounds for confusion. It looks like the bottom icon is the slot, which I think works well. The top one is action, but the one with a "-" brings up the problem of how to iconize items with various actions and just general confusion as to whether the icon is to be used just for the special action (Daily vs At-Will or always on). I've been using the Lord Tirian design for items, as I find the background looks ancient and works well for magic items. The card has a large space for an image, which works well with most items and looks super-cool with the art available via WotC's art gallery (the MIC has tons of useful art).

As a DM for home games or LFR I pre-make the items in the mod and then I pass out the cards when the items are found. This has a cool "I got treasure" feel and also speeds up play by allowing the player to have complete knowledge of what the item does. Teos [/QUOTE]
