Excerpt: powers (merged)

2nd: Based on number 1, we can assume that this power is for a moderately higher level character than 1st level. Yet, her dex modifier to damage (+6) is not significantly higher than a 1st level rogue's would be (+4 or +5 most likely). While this is obviously circumstantial, it does give some credence to the notion that damage does not directly scale with level.
You'll note that on the card it says that it's an 11th level power for the Cat Burgler Paragon Path.

3rd: The weapon is doing d8's and has sneak attack, yet rogue's normally sneak attack with light blades (d6's or less). This indicates two possibilities: Either a rogue can eventually learn to SA with a heavier blade, or the rogue's damage die scales up with level.
Someone mentioned already that the "Backstabber" feat turns SA damage from d6s to d8s. The base weapon damage could be bumped from a lesser weapon as well.

I'm guessing that the blue 14 written over the "hit" means that this card is adjusted for this character playing at 14th level.

The power itself looks to be picked up at 11, according to the card.
No, +14 to hit.

He's got 14s written in the same place on most of his cards, but then a +13 on one of them in that same place.

Ah good call! That makes more sense.

The 13 was bugging me, but I figured they had just randomly put cards out there for the photo teaser.
 

From the pic of the cards and sheet, I'm seeing three different types of cards. One for attacks (arranged like the cat burglar's gambit card), one for utility, and I'm guessing one for other powers that don't involve attacks.

It also looks like he's got all of his consumable attacks oriented on the far right with his at wills above the character sheet.
 

He appears to have 3 utilities along the top side to the left of the at wills, meaning he's very likely exactly level 11.

If he was 12, he'd have his paragon utility up there too. Of course, there might be another card off camera, but just going by what you can see here, he's level 11. :)

The gold ones are probably items with usable powers.
 

just a guess.

3d8 + 6 : normal damage
30 + 2d6 : crit w/ extra damage due to a magic weapon.
6d8 +9 : normal damage w/ sneak attack
57 + 2d8 : crit w/ sneak attack and magic weapon and possible a feat to increase the die on the magic weapon crit rolls.

And if he had a feat or class ability (brutal path perhaps) that gave 1 1/2x attribute bonus damage on sneak attacks, that would correlate the +6 with the +9.

edit: could be a paragon path feature

There would also have to be something about that magic weapon that increased its bonus damage on sneak attack crits.

"When a power’s target entry specifies that it affects you and one or more of your allies, then you can take advantage of the power’s effect along with your teammates. Otherwise, “ally” or “allies” does not include you, and both terms assume willing targets."

It seems Warlords can't forcefully move their allies around the battlemat, after all. :p

I'm not sure if those pics are for the actual product in the Char Record Sheets set. The ones shown don't have the color-coding mentioned in the first Keywords paragraph.

A little bit of reading and you can find out your answer
 

I have to say, while I've LOVED some of these previews, this one was pretty boring. Very little I didn't already know, and I like MY landscape character sheet and power cards better. :P
