Combat

  • First, draw an Intent for each Adversary.
  • Each player takes a turn. Players can choose which order they take their turns, but Fast players must go first, and Slow players must go last.
  • On each player's turn:
    • They draw 5 cards from their deck, then play the cards in any order.
    • At the end of their turn, any cards left in their hand are Discarded.
  • After all players have taken their turn, each Adversary discards all Shields, then executes and discards their Intent.
  • Discard any Player Shields that were not used.

Uncanny Resilience

  • Take a corruption point.
  • Draw a card, then gain HP eqivalent to the numerical value of that card.
  • This can heal you above your maximum HP.
