I liked the previous set much better. I think it was bolder and better designed (even the "confusing" pushes bit)

But since the new one has skulls I know what the general verdict will be...

*puts on stab-resistant flameproof suit*

All in all they're both good.

I liked the clients previous dice better. Maybe just replace the skull and pow/skull with the ones form the new design. I realy loved that you could see what number it would have been on a d6. Say you got a 1d or a +4 dodge and role push you could see if you would have made the dodge or not.

I like the new icons a lot better than the "old" ones, although especially the skull feels a bit to cartoonish compared to the rest of the client. The icons Galak posted seemed a bit more in line with the rest of the graphics, but that is really a minor detail.

Better Definately but I agree the PoW / Push could still use a little work,

What is it about it you don't like? The analogy, the implementation?

Consider the main dice... When you roll a pow push its bam... unless they have dodge. Whereas this looks too in favour of the push. This is always going to be the hardest one to do but I think would look confusing to a new person.

Its the arrow that does it. Needs an evading player or something instead.

But a stumble is halfway between a push and a pow, like a both down in some respects, is it not? I wanted something other than that dumb ! and to keep it very simple.

i think the arrow is just too prominent.

there is more pow than push in a stumble roll. it's not half way but 70% on the pow side Wink

Or simply make the arrow element a bit smaller compared to the star element.
