[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5671669, member: 82106"] My advice here would be to take some lessons from the original stat blocks. Put the name of the power and type icon at the start of the line, I'm not sure which of these are powers, etc and had to refer to the original statblock to understand some of them. Maybe color codes or something to tell us action type and frequency of use? That would be cool, a red or green line indicating at-will/encounter for instance. Not sure about action type, but maybe that could be done by just putting some color at the edge of the statblock itself or shading each section with a low saturation shade that provides that information. Not sure how ugly that would look, but the more information that can be packed in with subtle cues the better (at worst you don't 'get it' and you're no worse off than if it wasn't there). As long as they are fairly subtle they won't tend to clutter things up much. [/QUOTE]
