UPDATE (02/11/09): The Universal Power Card Set is an impressive project that supersedes the power cards in this post and the related one.
I’ve run across some really great accessories and play aids for 4e D&D during my internet journeys and I figured, “I’ve got a blog, why not share them with my readers?” Revolutionary thinking, I know. I’ve already used some of these in games, and I especially enjoyed the crib sheet, which really helps new players (all of us!) figure out what they can do on their turn.
Power Cards - Complete Set: These things are swwww-eet. They’re pretty, and functional, and cover every PC power in the 4e PHB! Megaprops to Ander00 over at EN World for these. EN World post | PDF version
Kiznit’s 4e Character Sheet: It’s pretty good now, but I’d keep checking back as he’s going to add a third page with blank power cards. Of course, you won’t need those if you keep reading. Direct Link (several pdf version links in the post)
Kiznit’s 4e Combat Crib Sheet: This sheet breaks down the most common Standard, Move, and Minor actions, and tells you which ones you can use each turn in Chinese menu format. It also covers general modifiers, action points, some conditions, critical hits, and special actions. This is a must-use sheet for any beginning 4e game. Direct Link (PDF) | EN World thread
Shado’s 4e Character Sheet: This sheet is color and, better yet, landscape. EN World post with link to zip
Initiative and Effects Tracker: This sheet lets you track initiative and ongoing effects on PCs, it’s pretty nifty! The original link is broken, so I put it up at The Gamer Dome wiki! Direct Link
Even more fan-created power cards: Here’s a site that has several different designs, and power cards broken down by class. Direct Link | EN World thread | Technical info thread
Monster Cards?

That’s a great collation.
Thanks!

Thanks a bunch Greywulf! I really enjoy your rendering projects…keep ‘em coming! I bet you could beat DnD Insider to the punch if you had time to devote to it.

Thanks!

The EN links are not working now. Could not get to Kiznit’s 4e Character Sheet or Shado’s 4e Character Sheet. Can these be posted elsewhere? Thanks!

EN World 2 is up and I’ve changed all the links to recognize their new site structure!

D&D 4E Power Cards … these are something I’d look forward to buying two copies of pre-printed and laminated, rather than downloading and wasting printer ink on …

I can’t get the Initiative and Effects Tracker
I tried signing up for thegamerdome.wikidot.com but it still didn’t want to work
5:47 am on July 1st, 2008 11
Also I’d like to say I’ve just found your site, and it does look great
thanks.
10:40 am on July 2nd, 2008 12
I successfully downloaded it now :D, dunno what was up earlier.
10:49 am on July 2nd, 2008 13
Ok, cool. Maybe Wikidot was down, it tends to go down several times a day, which is one reason I switched over to Wetpaint.
2:45 am on July 13th, 2008 14
Thanks for putting all this in one spot. The new SRD is a bit more complex than the D20 stuff they had for 3.5. I hope they start releasing things to the monster and things in RTF like they had before. Using those to create resources for our games was great.

You simply rock! Looking foreward to using them at gencon in a few weeks. Great gratitude from my gaming group!
3:31 am on July 18th, 2008 16
No problem, Toe Tyrant! Having just run my first 4e game, I can say without a doubt that the power cards are simply amazing and let all the new players learn their characters much more quickly than they would have!
10:19 pm on July 28th, 2008 17
Has anyone made Power cards for tne new Artificer 4e class yet? The Artificer class was recently published in the online Dragon mag I believe.
10:43 pm on July 28th, 2008 18
@Rhone1 - I haven’t seen any power cards for classes outside the PHB yet. Please let us know if you find some!

Am i the only one who’s disappointed that there are tons of missing parts to the power card set? The ones they have are totally rad, don’t get me wrong — but there are hardly any feats, and things are missing, including Dark One’s Blessing, Shadow Walk, Warlock’s Curse, Bloodhunt, etc.
Anyone know of someone who has filled in these holes?

“…there are tons of missing parts to the power card set…there are hardly any feats…including Dark One’s Belssing, Shadow Walk, Warlock’s Curse, Bloodhunt, etc.”
Those aren’t missing, they shouldn’t be there. This is the POWER card set. Those things you mentioned as missing are actually feats, class features, or racial traits.

I really like those power cards!
Keeping track of each of the powers and constantly flipping through the PH was just driving me nuts…

The link to the Initiative and Effects Tracker appears to be broken.

@Jemmaniam: Try it again, I fixed a setting at the wiki.

Excellent stuff. Thanks so much for putting this up and helping all the D&D addicts out there.
9:49 am on September 16th, 2008 27
Thanks, I’m glad people are still enjoying the resources. I know that the power cards especially have made my group’s lives much easier!

Is there any chance I could get you to redo the document so that each card is its own page? That way, I can set my printer to print n per page and print only the cards I want when I want them.
That and having them in some kind of indexed order would be faboo.
3:58 pm on December 12th, 2008 32
I’ve taken these cards and gone one step further. Check out my site at http://4epowercards.com

Nice!
Can we somehow get cards for Second Wind and Action Points?
3:50 am on December 14th, 2008 34
Sure! I’m constantly updating it with new features and cards. Keep the requests coming

Thanks for the Second Wind Card. Can you make a second for Fighters - it’s only a Minor action for them?
You should have a PayPal donation link on your website - I know I’d contribute!
Thx

Hi Paul,
No problems at all. I’ve added an additional Second Wind card, but labeled as a minor action.

You are the man. What about an Action Point card? There could be a box for indicating any bonus (i.e. - Action Surge)
Thanks again,

Updated info: the power cards referred to in this original blog have been superseded by the Universal Card Set which has more cards (for powers, magic items, monsters, ..) than I would have imagined. Check them out here http://toosigma.com/wiki/index.php/Universal_Card_Set

These are by far the best power cards out there
but upon printing and using i noticed that you were missing 3 or 4 cards
rogue:
piercing strike
torturous strike
another at will i dont remember
Warlock is missing one of the at-wills as well
other than that this set is phenomenal
even includes some of the feats and monster powers!
thanks a ton!!
