Wildcard rode into town a young man with money in his pocket and dreams in his head. In mere hours he had lost them both and wondered off, dazed, into the desert, only to return months later a calm, collected master of the Poker table. Some believe that in that wasteland he traded his very soul for the abilities to control the cards as they're dealt, to read people's faces as easily as the menu at a cheap buffet, and to beat people up.The C's denote Wildcard Dice. These dice are really cards drawn from a standard deck of playing cards, including two Jokers. 2-10 count face value, Jacks 11, Queens 12, Kings 13, Aces 1, and Joker=20. When making a Power Attack an Ace can count as 14. The deck is shuffled once at the start of the match. When a card is 'rerolled' (after an attack, as a result of an opponent's Trip Attack, etc.) the current card is discarded face-down. Neither player may review discarded cards. Cards count as d16's for scoring.
