Dungeons and dragons 4th edition power card template

I chose to use scans of the actual power from the source book or magazine. They look much better with actual graphics, but I like the power of having the complete rules at my fingertips and they still look good. The space at the bottom is for text. You can fit a lot of text in there, but the more you add, the smaller the font. I chose to have just a quick reminder of the rule there in a nice big font, so it was quick and easy to read in the heat of action.

You can choose from several colors of cards. However, I used silver for my powers coming from equipment. This way, when I use one, I can easily find and turn over the rest remember your 4E equipment rules. In the process of finding backs for my cards, I ran across a post by another player who was doing something similar to me.

Except, he was using a program called Magic Set Editor. So, I downloaded and tried this program out as well. Players including the DM will need to click-select their character icon before using the shared macros. This keeps the character sheet from being cluttered, and is less prone to error. Create the following attributes for each character or better yet, one character sheet you later copy and populate them with values.

The following macros have no commands e. They are meant to be called by other macros or abilities. To keep them from cluttering up auto-complete lists, you can begin them with an underscore. These are tips for a more advanced set up that utilizes two advanced features of the Rugged Reroll update: token actions and targeted macros.

With token actions it becomes feasible to incorporate monster specific macros into character sheets. To do so, make an ability on the monster character sheet and select the "Show as Token Action" option. Any tokens that use that monster's character sheet will then pop up a context-sensitive list of abilities when you select the monster. This is a lot of abilities to handle with just the "Attack" macro used above. The attacks often deal different damage, with a different bonus to hit, and against different defenses.

Instead, create a character ability for each attack:. Note: It is not currently possible to select multiple targets in the same macro; you'll have to check the second target's AC manually. Note: You have to type in the '4' manually since it is different from the standard attack. You could also subtract two or even create another attribute specifically for the breath weapon. Note: In 4e, damage is rolled once for area attacks while to hit is rolled individually, which is why there is a separate macro for hit and damage with the dragon's breath weapon.

Note: This sends a hidden message to you so you can check each round whether or not the dragon recharged their breath weapon. If yes, the value will be 1, otherwise 0. Now whenever you select the dragon a list of abilities will show up at the top left of your screen. Clicking one of them will give you the option to choose a target typically one of the PCs and will then output a in-character hit and damage values vs.

This lets you play something as complex as a dragon without ever having to reference its character sheet in combat or that of the players. Hey all. Just a little something I made up. I posted them over at the Wizards general forum a few days ago.

These cards are PDF forms. So you can type the power info right into the file then print it. The text boxes automatically resize the font for longer strings.

They are standard TCG size so they fit in all card sleeves and protectors. I'm also planning on resizing the cards for 3x5 index cards and creating full sheets of At-Will, Encounter, and Daily cards.

Last edited: Jun 18, Exactly what I was looking for. Nice Job! Merroth First Post. It's fantastic, my group will use these for sure. It is easier to print more of them that way. Thanks in advance. Full pages will be coming along with cards resized to 3x5 index cards. Most likely won't happen until the weekend though. Click to expand These are just superb, simple and functional, looking foward to having them resized to index card size,.

Resized for index cards and now full sheets of Encounter and Daily cards! Possible to get a version of the Index cards set to print multi per sheet. Should be able to get 4 cards to a sheet but I can't seem to get it to actually print out. Will only print one per page despite being told to do multi.

Well done. Awesome and very useful Thank you for putting these together. These templates were just what I was looking for my new game too. Nether Mage Ash First Post.
