[QUOTE="MadLordOfMilk, post: 4523315, member: 77691"] I was using Shado's power sheet, I did really like that one :) It may really just be preference but I don't wanna throw out the option of cards just yet. I'll try that - I don't want to totally throw them out but they seemed to have some real drawbacks. My biggest issue was while it initially seemed to be a space saver, it was also a bit of a pain to keep track of. In the campaign that I'm a player in, there's a lack of space - really just enough room for one sheet out, maybe a handbook cracked open, but that's about it. Power cards really didn't seem to have a good spot to be placed other than on top of everything else, hence being very prone to getting knocked around, which basically meant I was moving a stack of flimsy slips of paper around rather than just grabbing one sheet from under the other. Also they weren't really great for flipping through but that was probably because they were flimsy and on regular paper - I'd think cardstock would make a really big difference, now that you mention it. Thanks! I do have one big question about power cards though: what should I use to protect them? It took all of one session to get a big pizza grease stain on a card. I could see my crapload of plastic card sleeves working well but they'd have to fit a certain size. Are there any other (less size-restrictive) options? I'll also experiment a tiny bit with different types of power cards. I was using some pre-filled-out ones in MSE, but I think ones I can write in myself would work better for me. [/QUOTE]
