As you all wish .... This is Revan as he last appears, at the Rakatan Foundry, by himself, building his extermination droids when the Sith Imperial hit squad finds him.  I think its an interesting version. The combinations of Master Tactician, Intuition, Mobile Attack and Master Speed could be quite nasty. Absorb Energy and Parry should help him and of course he's got Master of the Force 3. Plus, he hits often, hits hard.

My only question when I look at these or anybodies stats for that matter, from my admittedly peculiar perspective, is would all these SA's, FP's And a CE fit on a card? You'd be surprised what will/won't fit ...... Of course I may be missing the point and this is simply a Stats contest/discussion. I've always thought stat should be able to fit onto a card to be game "usable;" FYI ... when we were working on The New Lost Twenty cards we decided that using the correct font/type size you could only fit 22-24 lines of type per card ..... .... then again I may be blathering .... carry on

Melee, Double, Twin and Force Renewal are about it. 2) If you start arbitrarily start dropping the explanations on cards, you start winding up with 10-15 abilities on characters. It would be interesting to actually go through WOTC cards and actually count up what they shortened; maybe Swine or Engineer know.

Gots ta disagree with ya brother. 1 - WotC wasn't perfect  and they could have stood to drop a few more SAs on some cards. 2) Nah, not me. I design pieces on here long before I would veer put them on a card.

Especially about my customs, since I make cards for my sets. I am very careful about considering the amount of space that will be taken on the card so that I don't have to make the text absurdly small. So far, I've only had to do that on about four or five characters. However, from what I've seen in the customs area, this approach is very unorthodox -- unfortunately. What font and font size do you use, Surf? That makes a huge difference on what can fit on a card.

(Sorry for the double post.) Here's the card for my custom: http://i.imgur.com/oGsJZqS.jpg(Image tags removed because the picture broke the page.) Also, Surf, I just realized that you have a custom template I've been desiring for quite a while. Would you mind providing me with your Old Republic template? It is the only one of the design that I don't have. (Just out of curiosity, do you happen to have a fancy Sith template with a red background? I'm looking for that as well...)

CardFront: - AgencyFB-Italic - AgencyFB-Regular - Aquarius-Bold - Aquarius-Extrabold - Helvetica-Condensed-Bold - ZapfDingbats CardBack: - Aquarius-Extrabold - Helvetica-Condensed-Bold Now .... I cheat  I only use AgencyFB just because its easier to keep track of things Size? Titles Special Abilites & Force Powers size 16, SA's, FP's and CE titles 14, ability explanations, size 12 SignerJ wrote:(Sorry for the double post.)

I notice you use the "old" WOTC templates; here's all the new ones .... http://www.bloomilk.com/Forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=6794Is all this what you wanted? PS - Like the Revan, simple, succinct. Is this just before he became Sith or just after he launched himself after the Sith Emperor?

(Thanks for the templates! Somehow, I missed the Old Republic one.) Thanks for the praise! The custom is meant to be Revan during the Mandalorian wars, when he was starting to become the Dark Lord of the Sith, and when he was waging his war of conversion. EDIT: After looking at your custom Revan again, I noticed that you forgot to give him Melee Attack.
