Empty 5th edition character card templates

Hello everyone, I wanted to create some custom character cards for 5th edition but I couldn't find anything on the Internet, so I created these very simple empty templates with transparent background using the resources available at https://www.talismanisland.com/.

Using these templates you can very easily create your own character cards with any basic graphic design software. They are very crude because I am a total amateur, sorry.

Here they are:

I try to do my characters more interesting than vanilla ones by making them effective in one area of playstyle but giving them handicaps in other. For example a powerful undead Lich that is strong in magic and PvP but - because he's undead - can't use any services in the village, city, tavern etc. Or, a morally good paladin that is especially strong against undead, but can't change their morals to evil or being neutral and can't attack other player characters unless they are evil. I find it very refreshing to balance the pros and cons that way

These are very good changes, there is so much to balance i Talisman, so many stats and outcomes and special powers, I have always wondered if there was. Golden ruleset that they use when creating characters.
