[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9719670, member: 6779310"] not one or two cards; 6 subclass cards, of which 3 are relevant, and 42 domain cards, of which 21 or 42 may be relevant; having duplicates of the 18 racial and 9 environment is useful. (either way, it's shipping with 42... it's just that the second domain is only relevant if someone else is in that domain. I see this as a way to deal with the player who overlaps one domain to be able to have duplicates. The PDF includes the card images, so... this is a luxury if you have a cardstock capable color printer, a nicety if you have a cardstock capable B&W printer, essential if you don't have a printer. D&D spell cards sell, and are totally not essential to play. Spare player sets sold for WFRP3. Special Ability decks by class sold for both D&D and FFG Star Wars. It makes plenty of sense if you remember that [LIST] [*]Many players have bad handwriting and/or are writing averse [*]Cards make vault management easier [*]Cards can make X/session abilities easier to avoid using (flip once out) [*]Most people don't have decent printers [*]Most home printers are god-awful inkjets that make smeary messes on cheap cardstock [*]Many GM's won't want to share cards [*]Getting decent printouts is still not a given for home color printing, whether inkjet or laser [*]Most copy shops I've been to charge $0.50 per page for color (UPS store, and a couple locals in corvallis; back in 2015, it was $0.50 at each of the places I used in Anchorage) [*]The PDF pages are organized by level first, then domain or class within the level. [LIST] [*]Rogues are split across page boundaries; if you know the subclass, you can print just the one. [*]The Grace Domain is split across page boundaries [/LIST] [/LIST] To print the 30 pages of cards at my local copyshop would be $15. My costs at home on my color laser? probably about $5. Avoiding the hassle and buying a full deck? I'd be willing to pay $10.... more consistent, better color saturation, more durable (laser printer toner does, eventually, flake off)... but I'm not in the market for individual classes. I might go $15... or just do like the pregens in the intro module, and print a page of the cards for each player, cribbed from the cardbuilder webapp. I haven't played with it enough to know if it has a printable page builder hidden.
