Q1-19 Adventure Cards

[Freemage]

The Savage Rifts site makes use of the Adventure Deck, which 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.) Cards may be traded 1 for 1 between characters in the same group. So if your cybernetic techno-warrior draws the "Arcane Inspiration" card, it can be traded to the mage for their "BOOM! Headshot" card.

The deck can be found here (ignore the "Held By" names--those are for the ones people have bought with EP or Patronage):
Adventure Card

Just roll a 1d54 below and look up which card that corresponds to. Be mindful of your draw number; the card numbering is one off from the row numbers in the spreadsheet (Row 2 is Card 1, Row 3 is Card 2, and so on). Go ahead and post which card(s) you drew below. Cards are drawn first come first serve, so if you get a roll that has already been rolled by someone else, just note it and reroll.

Important: After you roll, please edit your post to include the card name and description. This serves a few purposes--it makes it easier for later posters to see a duplication, it makes it easier to double-check for errors, and it lets me see all the cards 'in play' in one place when I'm designing encounters. Thanks!

Other Uses: If the GM is using a Planing and Operation scene outlined in the freedom squad (multiple dramatic tasks of increasing difficulty) playing an adventure card will automatically net you 2 automatic successes.

Holding Cards

You may, before the roll, choose to declare that one of the cards you drew last quarter, and did not play, stays in your hand. If you do this, then reduce the number of rolls for this Quarter by one. So, if you're Seasoned, and you keep a card from last Quarter, you should only roll one time this Quarter.

Furthermore, first come first serve applies here. If another player rolls before you post, and they get the card you wanted to keep, then they have the card now, and you need to roll the full boat.

• Duplicate Roll: [dice:2vp5cqme]47864:2[/dice:2vp5cqme]
  • Villanious Verbosity
    • Play to make an opposing Wild Card lose his next action by gloating or talking about his master plan.

Novice: [dice:18if2m1m]47874:0[/dice:18if2m1m] - Extra Effort: Play to add +1d6 to any trait roll. This roll may Ace.

Seasoned: [dice:18if2m1m]47874:1[/dice:18if2m1m] - Parley: All characters cease fighting and listen to the hero speak for at least 30 seconds. Others may only take defensive actions during this time. This has no effect on beasts and other creatures that cannot understand the speaker.

Veteran: [dice:18if2m1m]47874:2[/dice:18if2m1m] - Speedy Gonzales: Expend this card to gain +2 to your Pace for the rest of the scene.

[dice:1jyy81xn]47880:0[/dice:1jyy81xn]

Hidden Stash: Your hero scrounges up a generic type of item of your choosing, such as food and water, shelter, a box of ammo, enough money for a room, etc.

Flesh Wound: Play to cause a wounded Extra to rise immediately, un-Shaken and unharmed. The Extra must have been wounded in the current “scene” (typically a combat or immediately thereafter).

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.

I would like to keep, from last quarter, the following card:

Lucky Break: Play this card to completely negate the damage from one attack.

For this quarter (since I can't keep BOTH):
[dice:eiclmgl8]47899:0[/dice:eiclmgl8] ACE: Play instead of rolling to make a trait test with a single automatic raise.

Better You Than Me: Play when your hero has been hit by an attack and there is an adjacent character. The other character suffers the attack instead. This may be played on friend or foe.

Inspiration: Friendly characters (including your hero) add +2 to all trait rolls for the rest of this round.
