I think I may go for all of these, possibbly not the foresight. But the 'secret to be named later' can replace one of the boring red cards.

The first two will replace the 10% XP cards.

Also, I'm thinking of turning some of the red cards (the weakest ones) into yellow cards (middling) as follows:

• Add 2 super feat cards that grant a lot of feats
• Add 2 super skills cards that grant a lot of skills
• Add one free class card that lets you take a single level in a class (and no further, ever) at no XP or multiclass penalty
• One DR 2/- card
• Archon-blood: child of an archon. Counts as one extra stars card for purposes of determining abilities only.

The new cards look cool. I think its going to be hard to pick a bad portfolio.

Like i said earlier, the bonus carsd are just going to be something that is attacked to the cards. I'm not goign to worry about them until i see what on the table for the draft. it is possible that the right bonus card on teh right figrure could cause me to abondon my plans but if that happens i'm going for first born so watch out.

I like the new cards ... unless it's on a horrible figure ECL -2 would be my first pick ... although that 150K+ heirloom is going to be hard to ignore.

I added these last night (but didn't update the pdf; sorry had to play Kotor )

There is one -2 ECL card. There are about 8 figures I wouldn't play even with that card. Otherwise, I'd probably take it given the chance.

The heirloom card is 250,000 GP. It's called 'heirloom artifact'. There is one of those but still several of the 75K heirlooms as well. That card, for me, would not be as attractive as a -1 ECL card although on one of my top 3-5 figures, it might be hard to pass up.

The other cards I added I consider "yellow", i.e., good but not as good as the heirlooms, -1 ECLs, etc. Personally, I'm only likely to be taking those if I'm picking in late in the second round and the green cards have fallen heavily on figures I don't care for. But others may have a different opinion. The green/yellow/red designation is my own personal thoughts on the value of the card, nothing more.

I'm guessing that few, if any, PCs will have red bonus cards but I guess you never know. Depends how much someone really likes a figure I suppose.

The pdf is now updated with the new bonus cards (see the link at the top of this thread).
