Message: <blockquote data-quote="Reaper Steve" data-source="post: 5348265" data-attributes="member: 51528">Ecah player can construct two decks of cards, with a minimum of 7 cards each. One deck is alpha mutations, the other omega tech. A first level character starts with one of each readied. Alpha mutations, used or not, are discarded and redrawn after every encounter. They normally have a standard use and an overcharge use (10+ it's uber, 9 or less and you'll wish you didn't roll.) Plus, if you roll a 1 on a d20 (at any time), an alpha flux occurs and you discard a mutation (used or not) and draw a new one. (maybe I should use this instead of reckless breakage in Dark Sun...) Omega tech is usually awesome weaponry. You usually find one after every encounter. You can have as many readied as you like. Their initial--and most powerful--effect is usually a one shot. After that, if your character is high enough level, you can salvage the gear and continue to use it at a reduced effect. The collectability comes in to play when you build your decks. No more than two of each card. So, you could make a crazy random deck, or a tight, min sized deck with duplicates to almost guarantee you get what you want. Of course there's a catch... some game effects make you draw from the GM's decks, which he of course has customizied to what he wants you to have!</blockquote>
