Making your own power cards

Alright, here is a preview of the latest revision of my template. Since all of the changes are not evident in these samples, I will give you a qiuck list of changes since 1.0.


  • There are now 5 fields on the left hand side, each of which can be individually toggled and filled with whichever information the player desires. Currently available are action type, defense, and attack bonus. Damage and possibly damage types will be included shortly.
  • The information in the attack vs. defense field has been replaced with an icon showing the defense. Since the attack bonus is on the card, it seemed irrelevant to also include the attacking stat. If this is something people would like changed, I can work on icons for the attack stats as well, and put them in one of the other fields.
  • The entire design has been tightened up in order to give more space for power text.
  • Flavor text has been removed. My reasoning here was that at least in my games, players re-flavor the majority of their powers anyway, so having the text on the bottom of the card was pointless, and a waste of space.
  • The icon sets have been redone. I am now using a mixture of the standard burst and blast icons, some of Grandpa's excellent icons, and the defense icons I have done myself. Let me know what you think.
  • D&D Fonts Lolth and Mentor now used for the headings and power text respectively.
Now I just have to finish it up, and figure out how to actually make an MSE template out of my working PSD. Feedback always welcome!

Wow those look great I can't wait to try them out!

Well I've released my template for the UCS Beta 3. It is heavily inspired by Grandpa, Ander & Hirahito / Eloquentaction

You can find the UCS Beta 3 files and card sets here (the UCS Beta 3 files is needed but not included in the zip file):
Category:Universal Card Set - Toosigma

Here is a few samples and the template:

Hello

I have quickly made 2 new versions of my template.

First one is a new version of Ander's template, compatible with UCS Beta3. I have cut all the functionnalities that I have added in the previous version, and kept only the basic functionnalities from Ander's template. You can fint it here (Ander00 v2.0 for UCS Beta3.zip). This will allow Ander's fans to move to the UCS standard.

Second one is a first draft of Thindaraiel template for UCS Beta3. It does not contain the Monster/character cards, nor some of the new symbols. You can find it here (Thindaraiel v3.0 for UCS Beta3.zip). Expect a new version for the next week, implementing Monster/Character cards.
 

You guys are positively brilliant!

A few things I noticed--
Thin--your Horizontal orientation is not selectable for the set--you cannot apply it to all cards.

*edit--it's now working...so please disregard!

In terms of basic data, all of the encounter powers are showing up as half-elf racials.

Other than that, you guys are amazing!!! Thank you SO much--my group and I appreciate your efforts so incredibly much each time we use our beautiful cards.

:-)

All At-Will powers are indeed entered as Half-Elf Racial Encounter powers since a half-elf character can select one At-Will power from another class as an encounter power.

They should also be present as normal At-Will powers if you look

I really like this these. Great Job!

I do have 1 problem though, for some reason none of the cards display "[W]" , and whenever I try and type it in, it disappears. What can I do to fix this?

Not to derail the work, but is anyone working on a set of Grandpa's-style cards for Martial Power?

No offense, but the sets most people here are working on are too visually complex (or seem to require me to download more than just a file to print).
