Being able to print the powers' flavor text would be neat

Dec 08, 2009 22:33:56 One thing I would really like to do is to print the flavor text along with the rest of the description of each power. It really helps with the roleplaying. I don't think there is any way to do that yet though.

Just a thought.

Dec 09, 2009 15:26:35 You aren't alone, this is a feature often requested in the "Top 5 improvements you'd like to see" thread. Very often. People also mention taking out irrelevant "at level 10...at level 20..." information to include this.

I have taken to VERY laboriously editing a PDF then splicing in the flavor text pasted from the Compendium. Be much easier to actually have that option.

Well, it's good to know I'm not alone.

I am of course only suggesting this as an option-- if anyone doesn't want the flavor text, s/he shouldn't have to have it... I just would like the option to put it in. I am DMing a game with some newbies and I think the flavor would really help them to get into the game.

Cheers

Dec 10, 2009 17:39:15 Yes, it would be very nice to have the flavour text. But, there are still some other things that are more urgent to get into the builder. Like the at level 11 the power's damage is....

Does that imply that the Tuesday update will have anything relevant to this discussion?

Dec 11, 2009 14:14:42 I'm hoping for a 'customise' option that allows you to enter your own flavour text.

It is off by default.

This is really a great addition to the builder for me, and will make life easier for my whole group. Thanks very much!

Dec 23, 2009 15:06:42 I also wish that I could enter my own flavor text for the power cards. A lot of times I when I've had a beer or two I forget what my power is supposed to look like, and end up just saying something stupid like "Strength of Stone!" I'd much rather design my own descriptors.

Thanks,
