[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 3014838, member: 41321"] Maybe the name of the ability, effect, or item could be on the top of the card, and a short summary of its abilities could be down the right side. A full writeup of the abilities (including the type of bonus, because that's something I always need to know and can never find quickly) would be on the card itself. For spells, the name is on the top and the short description (the one they give in books when they list the spells by class and level) would be written down the side. I was playing with the idea of having cards that represent your ranks in skills or your ability scores (the 15 of STR card or the 8 of Move Silently card) but I think that's starting to get needlessly complicated. Some things like that might be better represented with a piece of paper than a card. But if you did use cards to represent ability scores like that, you could write things like your carrying capacity on the STR card and the description of the Move Silently ability on the MS card. I'm tempted to make up such a deck for my favored soul character from the WLD, just to see what it would look like. I'd have to use index cards, and it wouldn't be quite as helpful since I play online, but it might be fun to see how helpful a deck like that could be. [/QUOTE]
