One character has 7 charisma cards at level start and can pour through them in one session.  In my game it has not been inbalanced at all and the pcs like it, because I don't just let them use it, i force them to describe a phenomical action while doing it. One of the major things it lets them do is begin dying at -1 instead of being dead once they hit -10.   For every 10 hit points below -10 (or if they are dealth massave damage)  they can use an action card to fall to -1 instead of dead. You can only attempt this once My PCs  feel more heroirc and i've still had a few pcs die regardless.</blockquote>
