Card Ideas

Gorknor's Blessing
Boost/Handicap
Trait. Attach this card to yourself. Melee Frenzy 6. Duration 1. If you deal damage to another character, remove this attachment and put it on the top of your deck.
At the start of each round, if this card expires this round, you take 4 unpreventable Unholy damage.
"The followers of Joleph and Gorknor used to have long theological debates whether it is technically a blessing or a curse. Eventually, arguments turned into violence, with rather predictable results. Now it is called a blessing."

 

Looks like a Boost|Handicap hybrid to me, @Frostguard! $:^ }

 

Prehensile Tail
Boost
Trait. Attach this card to yourself. Draw a card at the beginning of the turn. All your cards gain Free Action. Duration 3.

I thought I was shaking his hand and then I realized, that's not his hand and then I realized he was shaking me.

 

Pack Mule
Boost/armor
Armor 1. All your cards gain Free Card.

Roses are Red. Violets are Brass. If you've too much to carry, get a pack....mule.

 

Thanks for the reminder, @ParodyKnaveBob - corrected.

In the meanwhile, another, admittedly wacky one:

Arcane Conduit
Assist, Magic Arcane, Range 4
Attach to target ally. When you play a Magic card, you may measure range and draw line of sight from the character this card is attached to. Duration 2.
"Some might think that being a channel for your spells is not what 'glorious destiny' stands for. They're wrong."

Might deal damage to target for each card being cast through them, I don't know. It was a sudden idea. I guess it could work as a terrain attachment, Spell Beacon or something.

 

Flee
Move 2. Free Move. increase your move by 2 if you start your move next to an opponent.

 

Retribution
Attack, Melee Holy, Damage 2, Range 1
When this card does damage, increase its damage by 6 for each dead party member you have.
"Evildoers always meet justice eventually, but sometimes you just don't want to wait."
Note: Damage type was just a random decision that felt thematic to me.

Blessing of the Vengeful
Assist, Melee Holy
Attach to all allies (including you). Whenever a character with this card attached deals damage, add 3 to that damage for each dead party member they have. Duration 2.
"Do not look down on those who have the will but lack the power to avenge their fallen. Vengeance is sacred."

Survival Instinct
Boost
Trait. Attach this card to yourself. Add 1 to all your die rolls as long as you're below half health. Duration 3.
"You'd be surprised at how well you can dodge if you know the next strike is going to kill you."

 

Zap, soldier! -- same as attack/block soldier except creates a "zap" card
Heal, soldier! -- see above
Bare skin -- handicap, attach to self, duration 2. Your armor cards do not trigger.
Shieldless -- handicap, attach to self, duration 2. Your block cards do not trigger.

 

this is way too overpowered, even as green. I'm not even sure it'd be fair as a purple quality card...

 

Goodwin, it's very powerful, but notice the armor 1 doesn't roll and isn't keep so as soon as you get hit...your pack mule runs away.

 

Ok, now some monster cards.

Aura of pain

Boost
Duration 4
At the beginning of your turn, all enemies within 3 squares from you recieve 2 Penetrating psychic damage

Favourite Weapon

Melee attack - Type slashing
Damage 5 - Range 1

This card is discarded on the top of the draw pile. Free Card.

Whim of the Gods

Magic assist - Type holy
Range 4
Heal special (roll one dice)

If this card is discarded, draw a card.

 

fave weapon isn't very well described, it gives the illusion that you will never ever be able to put it in your hand, since if it is on the top of the draw pile, it will be discarded.

 

What? No.
Instead of discarding, you put it on the top of the draw pile.
