Hey guys, instead of doing a big post with lots of cool stuff that's going to take me a while to write, I wanted to start sharing We'll start off with the power card changes, a lot of which I'm pretty stoked about. Here's an example of what they look like (you'll want to right click and view image to get a better view):  The first thing I want to point out is that the targeting icon has been included on the power cards, prominently displayed in the upper right hand corner. Now it's super easy to tell which are my melee powers, ranged powers, blasts, bursts, etc. Next we have the power usage up at the top, just underneath the name. This is a small change, but we had a lot of feedback from you guys that it was a bit annoying to have it at the bottom, especially when printing things off in black and white. We also have a significant layout change in the power description and rules. It's in the same layout and style as the powers in the books, so no struggling with transitioning your brain from one power style to the other. So those are the basics. I'll be back on Monday with some screen shots and info of the two different CB character sheets we're currently offering. Until then, discuss and post up any questions you have about these powers cards and I'll answer what I can.

Hrm... the Ensorcelled Blade card doesn't have a summary line at the top, with the attack and damage roll. Any reason for that? It's a weapon attack, perhaps that character didn't have a weapon equipped?
Will it be possible to show the summary lines for multiple weapons on cards? I primarily play a dual-wielder, so that's important for me. The CB was already quite poor for displaying information for powers that use two weapons, and I hope the web-CB isn't regressing even further.

Looks good. I like them. And I should add that it feels nice to only have good things to say about a piece of news for the first time in a while, here's hoping it's the start of a pattern :-)

Thank you for sharing this info. The power cards were fine to me and these look fine.
For me,the important take away here is that you guys are wanting to bring us in on the development process and let us know where things are headed.
If for some reason someone absolutely hates what they see enough to not want the CB they know have a more informed choice with their subscription and money. Hopefully we will see more treatment like this from you guys

Looks great! These look like an improvement! Any chance we'll get the ability to type our own notes and/or edit any of the info on the cards?

Yeah, I noticed that too right after I posted it up. I'll see if I can figure out what happened there.

Not only that, but Chaos bolt says "+4 vs. ,". I assume that's a bug?

Love it, they look amazing.
One question, can I remove flavor text? I don't do that to all the cards just the ones that have a lot of text. Thanks!
