Power Cards!

So, who's got them and which ones (i.e., Cleric, Fighter, etc.)

What do you think of them? And how will you be using them in your game? I've already seen players in my RPGA group slap them down as immediate interrupts. Others have them spread out on the table while still others hold them like playing cards.

I bought the whole box full last weekend.

I like them. Advantages over DDI is that the print is MUCH crisper than DDI and my printer. Also, I don't have to print new cards every time I level, etc.

I put them in M:tG sleeves and use luminacolor permanent markers to write values on the sleeves. During the game they're stacked like a deck until it's combat time, then I use them to manage powers. After game they go into card sheets in a binder with my character sheets and notes.


This is not a product I am interested in, as I create my own cards using MS Word + 3x5 cards + glue stick, but I could see how this would be helpful to those less inclined to make their own.


I am intersted in them, oddly enough I decided not to post in the threads im 'not' interested in.

What are the cards like? Are they like magic cards, playing cards, or something less desirible? Are they average size and do they look snazzy?

Same size, shape and feel as M:tG cards. Very clean printing, very easy for my ancient eyes to read. They are color coded, front and back, for the type of power they are. From what I've been able to gather they contain the exact same text as the PHB entries.


are they errated?

also each deck contains all the powers + some blanks from one book? Do I need PHB1 fighter deck and Martial Power Fighter Deck

And Easy Reading? Colours are?

the power cards are only for the PH.

That's a pretty sweet operation they've got there, and because they're only providing templates they shouldn't run into any legal issues. Nice.

sweet


I thought about them a little bit as I have used printed cards (first from ENworld then from DDI) as long as I have run 4e. I did not buy however as one of the things I like about the DDI cards is that it does all the math for my less gear-head players which I like and it updates as fast as the DDI char gen does.

They do seem quality though, I could see buying some as a player who plays a lot and knows the rules enough to do their own (simple) math.
