Looking for spell effect cards

During games, we use spell effect cards which summarize the basic modifiers of a spell. For instance, if I cast Haste Ill throw down the HASTE card so everyone has a reminder of the extra attack, plus to hit and ac, etc.. We have cards for most of the buffs and they work great but they look kind of cheesy. They're just handwritten on index cards and I'd like to have something that looked a little more professional, or at least neater.

Has anyone seen, or made, a printable product like this? I'm not looking for complete spell descriptions, I know where to find those, I just want cards with the basic effects of the various buff spells in a large easy to read, but interesting, font and perhaps in a decorative layout. Obviously I could make them myself, but if someone else has already gone through the effort, by all means show it off and share.

The Buff and Status cards from EN Publishing are what you want. The Buff cards are also colour coded so that you know what effect stacks with what.

Actually a guy had the EN World Buff cards in another game. They were good but they're exactly not what I'm looking for. The problem was the print is too small for everyone to read with the card laying on the table. That's why, when that player left, I started writing the basic plusses of a buff spell out in LARGE PRINT on index cards so the whole table could read it. I put the card down (with a die on top to count down duration) and anyone can read it- and point it out to those players who perpetually forget all they're bonuses.

Plus, the enworld cards were too much for what we need. I recall they had pretty much the whole spell description, schools and spell levels too. I just want the basics...

Although, the color coding was nice. No one could remember what color meant what, but if you had two of the same color only the highest one counted. And it helped spell planning by reducing redundancy- different caster's could work together to ensure they don't fill up with similar buff types. I copied that trick by writing out my big print cards with different color pens.

:cool: Now, if EnWorld were to redo they're cards with the small print description and such on one side and then LARGE PRINT basic game effects on the other, I'd definitely get a set of those!
