I like my ranged better than WotC's!

Hrm, I need to make some 12px dice for using on forums. It'll mesh better with the default size text.

Looks good. Need a basic ranged attack icon also.

Does anyone have a stat block template for the 2.0 cards that I could input the data into? I'd like to make cards for my campaign for all of the monsters in the monster manual when it comes out, but I can't find one anywhere. Can anyone help me out?

thanks silverhands! :D

I would suggest typing out what they all mean. Not for me, of course not! But you know, for those NOT informed. Because I am. Definitely. Informed that is.

IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/bmelee.gif) = Basic Melee Attack, which can be used for Opportunity Attacks
IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/melee.gif) = Melee Attack, usually a special ability
IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/branged.gif) = Basic Ranged Attack
IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/ranged.gif) = Ranged Attack (Which again, I like better than WotC's!! ^_^; )
IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/close.gif) = A close range area attack, I think usually centered on the caster
IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/area.gif) = A ranged area attack7

IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/1.gif) Do I have to?

I need to make a second set that are 12 px high or something closer to the default text size. Might make them harder to read though. =(

Edit: Testing a new d6 :: IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/1.gif)IMAGE(http://www.ariagames.net/forums/images/smilies/6.gif)

Ok, updated the graphics to 12x12 images for the dice and no spacer around them. ^_^ I can't quite get them properly centered on the text, but at least they're aligned on the bottom.

Just a bump in the new forum for anyone who might have missed this before.

You seem to be missing a few. May want to add them in your bolder set.

What close and area attacks are considered basic attacks?

Made them squares instead of circles for aesthetic reasons.

I like Arias better personally, they are bigger and easier to see. Mind if I throw em up on my private site?

Same here ;) I nearly broke 1% of my available bandwidth on my busiest month, heh. I had planned to do something like this myself, but why reinvent the wheel when yours are great and free.

Great Job! I don't have the MM yet, so I can't tell you if anyone has a basic close attack or a basic area, but those tend to be regular at-wills at the most.

Thanks. =) They should be good to use at that url at least until next February. ^_^ That's how long I have dreamhost paid up for, lol.

Is it possible to use these in Word documents somehow? I like the job you've done but to tell you the truth I don't know how to use them.
