Two ideas I really liked were Triumph and Despair's take on stat blocks. He has stream-lined the stat blocks to make them easier to read while playing (I hate doing maths while playing too).

As I am not very good at Photoshop and wanted to be able to create and modify them very quickly. I borrowed some of the thedearth2 artwork and used it as a background for a PowerPoint slide file.

With PowerPoint I can just duplicate a slide and modify some text and within a minute or 2 have a half decent NPC card which can be exported as a PDF if needed.

Here is a link to an example PowerPoint slide.

Cool idea!

Have you played around with the EotE font at all? Would make the stat blocks much prettier with actual dice symbols instead of letters.

If he would colorize the dice it would be even better.

I thought I embedded the eote dice font, I'll try and update it when I get chance.
