Red cards are face value, black cards are value +10. (Thus, a 10 of Hearts is a '10', while a 10 of Clubs is a '20'). Each player gets a hand of five cards that they use for any rolls they need to make; once they work through their hand, they draw five new cards, or they can spend a Hero Point to dump their current hand and draw five more.This has really changed the way that the game plays - you won't have to worry about getting one-shotted by a mook, because you won't randomly roll a '1' at the most inopportune moments. Alternately, when you really need to put down the big boss, you can use a high-card, and insure that you hit him.</blockquote>
