I have a hard time reading the text on some of the cards as is.

Maybe we can make it optional eventually.

I have a question along these same lines: Is there any way to edit the text on the character sheets after you finish building your character? One example I've noticed is that - in the paragon and epic tiers - there simply isn't enough space to list all of your class features.

I'd like to be able to pare things down a bit. I'm a neat freak. Sorry.

:P

Thanks and take care!

You can also stretch the panel to fit more lines of text.

You might need to unlock panels on the menu for that.

Thank you, Mdonais. I love this program...

Jul 01, 2009 12:02:11 I'd like to second the request for flavor text on power-cards. Although my players are (mostly) veterans, they are all new to 4E - been playing about a month. We all are flipping from power-cards to PHB 1 and 2 to see the flavor text, which often gives us ideas on how the powers are expected to work.

Text on the cards would help immensely. The additional effects block is usually empty and could fit the text. Or perhaps printed on the back!

I've long thought that you could have the backs of the card show the name of the power, what type (at-will, etc) and color. You could put the flavor text there and have the card-backs print if the user selects that option.
