Alright, so has someone some nice pictures of some power cards and the character sheets for me?

Here are a couple snapshots. I'll try for better photos later.

Great! Thank you very much, Thalmin!

You're da man!

Thank you Thalmin, the new character sheet looks interesting... both because of what it adds (skills next to abilities, explanation of Minor, Move and Standard actions) and because of what it removes (breakdown of defense and attack scores, racial and class features)

It's a very "beginner's sheet", with all the explanations mixed it. I like it!

I dont know if this was asked/answered yet but is there a synopsis of character creation or is the only method by following the solo play adventure?

Hi Thalmin,

By chance do you know what the thief's "weapon finesse" class feature actually does?? Thanks. =)

Love that sheet!

If it's incorporated into the CB I'll be a happy man.

Thanks again, thalmin.

I like it. I'm a big believer in separating out the character sheet used at the table and the worksheet used to compute everything. For example, the D&D Encounters character sheets are so much more usable than the standard ones!

Agreed. A worksheet and a playsheet sounds just the ticket.

It's not my imagination and I am remembering correctly that the cards in the red box are smaller than Magic cards, right? Just curious if I will need to invest in new sleeves or not.
