Duelists of Darkwana: Tenko's character board

While Baraka is on your side of the field, you may, at any point during the game (including as a response to another effect) sacrifice a Support you control on the field.

Yes, Baraka can sacrifice herself to trigger her own effect.

Afterwards, target an opponent, lowering their hit points by the number of Stamina tokens that were on the sacrificed Support.

You may activate Baraka's effect at any time, any number of times.

However, as a response to an opponent's effect, you could only activate Baraka once, allowing Baraka's damage to take place BEFORE the effect to which you're responding

For example, if an opponent targeted you with lethal damage, you could use Baraka's effect, ONCE, in response to deal lethal damage first, which would negate the damage you would've taken (so long as you knock your attacker's hit points to zero at that time).

Okay, Baraka was a little complicated.

Here's something simple.

While Killswitch is on your side of the field, all your opponents' Items are deactivated.

They stay on the field, but their effects are basically removed for as long as Killswitch remains on your side of the field.

While Tsuchigumo is on your side of the field, you may, once during each of your turns, target a Support an opponent controls on the field & take control of it (moving it to your own side of the field).

Supports stolen this way remain under your control for as long as Tsuchigumo remains on your side of the field.

When you play this Event:

Deal damage equal to your Influence.

Afterwards, you may (there wasn't room to put "may" on there without making a mess of things, but it's "may") add a Support from your discard pile to your hand.

Discarding cards to get a few miles of awesome is what Tenko's Items are all about.

Thanks to her ability, she easily collects extra cards to toss away.

While Puzzle Box (a Level 3 Item) is on your side of the field, you can discard a Knowledge card to raise or lower a player's attribute by 1 point.

Remember that attributes max at 5 points & cannot go below 1.

You may activate Puzzle Box at any point during the game, as many times as you see fit.

If an opponent tries to play an Item, you could respond by using Puzzle Box to lower their Knowledge so they couldn't play that card (the card would return to their hand, and they would not lose the action they would've spent playing that Item).

Remember that you can only respond once to an opponent's effect before it resolves.

While Force Field (a Level 4 Item) is on your side of the field, you can discard an Influence card to negate an Event.

A negated card is technically played, but all its effects are ignored.

You can activate Force Field at any point during the game when an Event is played.

Remember, if a player attempts to play a card, and that card gets negated, the negated card goes to its discard pile, and the player who played it does not get back the action they spent trying to play that card.

Here's a powerful nuke for ya.

As long as this Level 5 Item is on your side of the field, you can discard a Combat card.

If you do, you'll target an opponent, who will lose 5 hit points.

You can activate Ring's effect at any point during the game, as many times as you see fit.

(art work and title coming soon)

Options are always nice.

When you play this Event, you may either:

Deal damage equal to your Knowledge, OR . . .

Steal 1 random card from 1 opponent's hand.

If Tenko can get some use out of the card she swipes (and given her Items, she should), she's going to quickly outpace her opponents by stealing and turning their cards against them.

When you play this Event, gain hit points equal to your Combat.

Remember: your hit points max at 20.

Afterwards, you may discard a card to draw a card from ANY deck.

You may not discard more than 1 card to draw extra cards.

When you play this card, you'll deal damage equal to your Combat.

No big deal there, right?

Except you may activate this card, without spending an action, at ANY point during the game, so long as you do so immediately after losing hit points for any reason.

Which also triggers Tenko's ability.

You don't have to target the same player who lowered your hit points.

When you play this Event, you'll lower 1 of your opponent's attributes by 1 point (they can't go below 1).

Afterwards, you'll gain a point in Combat.

Pro tip: never let Tenko know when your starting hand is a bunch of items she could easily prevent you from playing in a competitive, timely fashion.

When you play this Event, deal damage equal to your Combat.

Afterwards, lower an opponent's attributes by 1 point (they each can't go below 1).

You can choose different opponents for these 2 effects.
