The Adventure Deck - Q4 2017

[Tribe of One]

Hey all, the Savage Rifts site makes use of the Adventure Deck, which if you're not familiar provides some small but significant benefit when played. Novice characters "draw" one card per quarter; More experienced characters can draw and hold one card per rank (Seasoned is two, Veteran is three, etc.) but can still only play one card per quarter. (You can also buy extra cards with EP or get them by being a Patron - those don't count toward the hold limit and can be played at any time.)

The deck can be found here (ignore the "Held By" names):
Adventure Card

Just roll a 1d54 below and look up which card that corresponds to - careful because the numbering is one off from the row numbers in the spreadsheet. Go ahead and post which card you drew below and I'll create a ledger on this post. We'll go first come first serve, so if you get a roll that has already been rolled previously just reroll.

Also, anyone who posted an Interlude can either start the quarter with an extra Bennie or draw an extra Adventure Card. Just let me know which you're doing.

[Sir Blurre]

[dice]0[/dice] Out of the Frying Pan Play to avoid death, capture, or some other bad situation for your hero or any ally. The situation leads to some new trouble, however, as determined by the GM.

Interlude Bonus Draw: [dice]1[/dice] Peace Your hero is able to improve the attitude of a group in an encounter, perhaps by recognizing someone in the crowd, showing respect, or offering a bribe. It doesn’t work on true enemies—only “neutrals” who happen to cross paths with your party.

Well, that's always fun....

In the Zone
Gain +1 to Shooting, Fighting, Throwing rolls until the end of the scene

This is usable only on myself or on others also?

I'd let you use it on another character's behalf. Also, you are free to trade I played cards with other players in the group.

[Rill]

Adventure Card: [dice]0[/dice] Tale Teller: Your hero must tell a story of his group’s deeds to an audience of some sort (roleplay this) and make a Persuasion roll. If successful, the listeners become friendly and helpful to the entire party.

Bonus card from Interlude: [dice]1[/dice] Boom! Head Shot: You may ignore any Called Shot penalty on your next ranged attack.

[Rill]

Let me know if anyone wants to trade for the “Boom! Head Shot!” card. Rill is a pacifist and doesn’t have any shooting skill, so he won’t have much use for it.

I will also be happy to trade the in the zone card, as it doesn't affect skills I am unlikely to use.

[Freemage]

Note that you can always trade 'at need', so you really don't have to worry about who trades for what right at the moment.

[Jasco]

Novice Card: [dice]0[/dice]
Not Today - Play after any other character’s attack roll to cause it to automatically fail. This is a critical failure.

Seasoned Card: [dice]1[/dice]. Reroll (Rill drew this already) [dice]2[/dice]
Epiphany - Something you never understood before suddenly “clicks.” You gain a d6 in any skill you previously did not have for the remainder of this game session.

Interlude card: [dice]3[/dice]
Theme Song - It’s one of those “inspiring music movie moments” when the heroes get their second wind! You and all allies who can see your signal or hear your voice (walkie-talkies count) recover automatically from Shaken status and any Fear effects, due to your inspiring words.

[Jack 'Bullet' Jones]

Novice card: [dice]0[/dice] - Sudden Death: Your hero must do or say something that gives his foes pause. All foes within 12" lose their next action.

Seasoned card: [dice]1[/dice] - Speedy Gonzales: Expend this card to gain +2 to your Pace for rest of the scene.

Interlude card: [dice]2[/dice] -Teamwork: Your hero and any adjacent allies add +4 to their next Trait rolls. The allies must be adjacent when the card is played to receive the bonus.

[Severianna]

Novice card: [dice]0[/dice] Florence Nightingale Play this card to gain +2 on heal checks on the current patient. Spend a Benny: Gain +4 on heal checks on the current patient.

Seasoned card: [dice]1[/dice] Let's Settle This Play at the beginning of a combat round with no Jokers. No character can soak wounds until a Joker is drawn.

Interlude: I'll take an additional Benny

What do I get being a Patron? Anything else I should include? Thanks.

Happy to trade the Florence Nightingale card to anyone, or I can hold it to be used on someone else?

[Kim Black]

[dice]0[/dice]

Arcane Inspiration: When playing this card, a character with any sort of Arcane Background can either use one of his powers as a free action or use a power he doesn’t have.

Okay, that's great for a TW.

And I took the extra Benny for the interlude.

I will happily take Florence Nightengale, provided the GM rules it applies to magical healing (which is all Rill has). Have any interest in Rill’s “Head Shot! Boom!” card?

You can hold it for later use.

I think Patrons also get to draw from a separate deck used by all patrons on the site, but you'd have to ask VV or High Command. I'm not sure where that's tracked.

Done! I’ll add it to my sheet. And thanks!

Novice Draw [dice]20612:0[/dice] Extra Effort Play to add +1d6 to any Trait roll. This roll may Ace.

Seasoned Draw [dice]20612:1[/dice] Joker's Gone Wild Play this card to swap your Initiative Card with any Joker drawn for initiative.

If you are interested in the "In the zone: +1 to throwing, fighting and shooting for the duration of the scene" card I have I would be happy to trade if for either of the cards you got. Its practically useless to me.

I'll take the Jokers Gone Wild. That could be very useful at the right time.

Btw, congrats on making probably the most powerful melee combat character I've ever seen.

All yours my friend. looking forward to saving the squishies.

I took an Interlude Draw. Anyone use the "PEACE" card?

I might be able to, depending on the situation. This being a community outreach team, I'm sure all we'll have to do is talk to our adversary. No need for bloodshed. We might offend the preacher.
