Card creator

Most of what a crow carries is like this: a name, a line saying what it is, and a number of usage dice that says how long it lasts.

• Name: call it Torch.
• What it is: a stick, some pitch, an hour of light. This line prints in italics under the name.
• Usage dice: 1 for a plain torch. You roll them at the end of a Dungeon Turn and any that come up 1 or 2 are gone. A Fine one has 2 and a Masterwork 3, which is what that last line of the card is for.
• Comes back: set it to Useless, because a burnt torch is burnt. A lantern would say Refuel and name the oil.
• Rolls when: DT, so it burns down with the turn rather than only when somebody uses it.
• Carried: in the pack, which is where the packet files it. That it takes one hand to use is a tag rather than a slot.

That is a whole card. Everything below the fold on the form is for things that get rolled against.

Now the rest of the form. A weapon needs three result bands, because Crows resolves an attack by where the roll lands: 11 or less, 12 to 16, and 17 or more.

• Reach: how far it gets. Melee 1 for something you swing, Ranged 15 for a crossbow.
• Attack: what you roll. 2d10 plus a characteristic.
• 11 or less: usually Miss.
• 12 to 16: the ordinary hit.
• 17 or more: the best band, and where a card's strongest result goes.
• Slots: 2 for a greatsword, and the app lays it across two boxes of whatever it is carried on.

Marking up the text: **bold**, *italic* and __underline__. A short word before a colon goes bold on its own, which is how the packet writes a keyword. The words it actually uses are Maneuver, Action, UD, Parry and a handful more, so take them off a card you already have rather than inventing one.

Switch to A creature card above the form. A creature is its numbers, its attacks and its features.

• The numbers: what it can take, how fast it moves and its three characteristics. A box left empty is left off the card.
• Other movement: anything that is not walking, written the way you would say it: climb 4, swim 8.
• Attacks: one row each. The bonus goes in its own box and prints as (+2) after the name; the three bands are the results for 11 or less, 12 to 16 and 17 or more.
• Features: a name and what it does. Give it uses, one a rest for example, and the card prints a box for each one to tick. Leave the name empty for a plain line, such as a rule about its attacks.
• Notes for the Ref: how to run it and how the fight ends. They print last, in smaller type.

If you have the statblock as text already, open Paste a statblock at the top of the form and read it in, then check the numbers.
