That's... interesting, to say the least. Since I'm assuming you used paint, it's not <I>that</I> bad, though you could use a better font. And colour. And a background. And better formatting. And maybe make the back of type transparent instead of white.

About the content, I guess it's okay. For some reason it moves faster than a horse and has intelligence. You could put something about the natural attacks and submissive mind I'm assuming it has. You know what? Why don't you just have a window with the horse card open and copy from that, adjusting as necessary?

Being myself, I would have the boar as a more bulky horse. I'd have a speed of 8", and armour as 1d6+2. The attacks would be the same as the horse, with kick and bite at 1d6 damage for a UR of two, with the addition of a charge attack. It has a UR of 3 to send the object flying 2d6".

actually, boars are extremely deadly. more people are killed per year by boars than sharks lions and bears combined.

i agree with the horse thing. although 10" could be acceptable: after all, this is a war boar. 1d6+1 or 1d8 armor would also be sufficient (i've done the math: those values are about the same, regardless of 8 being a larger number than 7).

every creation has a charge attack (check the rules), so adding that would be pointless. however, boars have tusks. i'd give them more than 1d6 in damage. 1d6+2 perhaps?

Ah yes, I forgot about charges. I was thinking of having 1d6+1 armour, but I thought that was too little for it because I reduced the move to 8. I also agree with you on the 1d6+2 attack thing.

well its not considered a charge because you don't need to move to use it.
(think momentum) i have been using them more for steads than actual attacks other than tusk ramming

I gess ill make a revised versionand post that too

also does any one else have cards to put up?

It's time's like these I wish I could make stat cards. Sadly, I don't know how to use MSPaint to any effect worth noting in this particular field.

Almighty Benny, those are some gret stat cards!!!

I'd really to see someone try and make a real good JawJaw stat card, or a Dimmy. That'd be cool.

Nice ones Benny! Also, I've been wanting to make a lego guitar for the longest time... I'm going to try your idea out right now.

Thanks guys, I'm glad everyone likes my stat cards. I actually found that guitar on Brickshelf. If I figure out how to make it myself I'll make instructions though.
