[QUOTE="Bladewing, post: 4678292, member: 74290"] Ok I started reading this thread but the discussion turned into (imho) pointless legal debate, so I skipped a dozen pages. Sorry if this is a repeat question because of that. Is a version that keeps the layout and design but doesnt actually list the copyrighted content from the sourcebooks available, where you can enter power names and game text on your own and then print it? I used the power cards from that site because I liked the design. That they already included the relevant rules text was an obvious time saver, but I'd be fine with typing them myself for the cards I want to use while playing. and I'm assuming distributing such a file without the rules text would be legal (correct me if that's wrong). I also have a related question about WotC's planned official power cards: 1. How do they look? You see, the main advantage of the site that received the cease and desist was the awesome design of the cards. Certainly much better then those made with the character builder beta and also edging out other 3rd party versions I found. I have no problem buying the official power card decks if they are well designed and look great. 2. Do they come with a pdf to print them with appropriate attribute/feat/etc modifiers factored in? If I have to do the math each time or keep additional notes on another card and/or reference my character sheet, they arent nearly as useful as the material provided by 3rd party sites up to now.
