    Making your own power cards

    To give WotC some credit, theirs are designed to be filled in for any power, whereas the ones we have here require editing on the computer. Still, the extra effort is worth it! :D Template/tutorial coming soon, just needs a bit of polishing. I'll post it some time this weekend.

    Making your own power cards

    A third hmmm.... It might just be the ones in this article: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dusg/20080227a In other news, I'll clean up the template I'm using an add a bit of a tutorial for getting the look right, then I'll upload it so we can make a good effort at getting all the...

    Making your own power cards

    Next iteration: -New standard action symbol (looks great!) -Redrew exclamation mark (wasn't quite symmetrical after the resize, edges looked strange) -Added blur behind action symbols to make them blend in/feel more natural -Added Attack type (Int vs. Ref) to last notch. That leaves us with...

    Making your own power cards

    Ok, try these on for size. We've got an experiment with a long power (Bigby's, as requested), and then versions with the new action symbols in the bubble. You can imagine the top ones without the colour in the bubble, if you wish. Note that I've removed the power source notch from the bottom...

    D&D 4E Will 4e kill PbP D&D?

    I've got more than thoughts...I've got experience! I'm running PbP Raiders of Oakhurst at the moment here. There are also 2 more 4e games running at the same place, and I'm playing in one of them. So, what have I learnt? It has it's ups and downs, that's for sure. Positives include the DM...

    Making your own power cards

    Ok, I think this next one is getting pretty close. I've folded action and type into the single bubble, with a simple colour code (orange = standard, yellow = move, green = minor, blue = immediate). I've discarded any colour coding by power source, I don't think it's necessary, and kept the...

    Making your own power cards

    A few more experiments: My thoughts: Adding a colour code for power source detracts from the simple design, especially with the circle ones. Changing the colour of the spaces between notches works best, I think, but I'm still not sure about that. I also think adding power source in another...

    Making your own power cards

    All the images so far are from the Wizards Presents: Races and Classes official gallery. Pencil sketches work best, but aren't necessary. A thread to collect art sound like a good idea, or we could link to suggestions here. On the subject of art, I've added 'Illus. Name' to the bottom right of...

    Making your own power cards

    Trying out the different suggestions: I'm not sure which I prefer, I think they both have merit, and I think the type of attack is just as important as the action. What do you guys think?

    Making your own power cards

    I went ahead and added power source to the first notch. I also switch around the Pact and Sustain on the Curse of the Dark Dream card, so actions are grouped together. So, notch by notch we have: -Power source -Where the power came from -Action required -Additional action required -Misc. eg...

    Making your own power cards

    3 more: Notch 5 as sustain is a good idea. I'll edit that into the warlock card above. Still trying to get a good look on that colour code for power source. I think it might look best to just go with 'Source' in small white, then 'Martial' etc. beneath, to match with the others.

    Making your own power cards

    Good idea, I've switch them around (see above, no need to display them again). As for the power source, do you mean the white or brown bit above class/level? I was going to put something like 'Channel Divinity' in the brown one, but thinking about it, that's probably better where the Pact is on...

    Making your own power cards

    Thanks :) They're made using Paint.NET, taking the backgrounds from the DDM cards and then fiddling with colours and typing up the powers.

    Making your own power cards

    Decided to have a go myself: One at-will, one encounter and one daily, of varying complexities. I included a picture on the Careful Attack to fill up some space, but couldn't find one for Fey Step.

    The '4E Spread' you have there isn't 4E at all, it's from the Five Nations Eberron sourcebook. Today's art looks great, I particularly like the ice devil.

    It's still possible. The cambion mini is an ascendant hellsword, after all. It could be ascended from a tiefling. It would be strange, though, given the mythology of cambions as half-fiends.

    Well, this is good news: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/welcome http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/art_preview/20080414_114717_dh290uw3_0.jpg Speculation follows: Tieflings? Possibly, but the wings aren't something we've seen before. My guess is they are cambions, since they seem...

    Dungons of Dread (DDM) Monster Stats from DDXP

    Is anyone else surprised the silver dragon is a brute? I don't know if it's just the young dragon or if it's just for the DDM mini, but I definitely wasn't expecting that. I was expecting the iron dragon to be the brute of the metallic family, since it seems to be the white's analogue. I'd have...

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    No, you're right. As pukunui said, it was mostly just a terminology thing, and occasionally the players trying to shift as a free action.

    D&D 4E Raiders of Oakhurst: A 4E Fan Playtest Adventure

    I ran the adventure today, now to share my experiences! General Points: -Tactical thinking was great, the players really took to the challenge and thought about where to move, who to attack etc. -Stuck with 3e. There were some things my players couldn't unlearn. The difference between shifting...
