Gear Cards

The kit the eight pre-made heroes carry, one card per item. Optional: the gear is already written on each sheet. Print, cut, and deal these when you want players handling their equipment instead of reading about it.

Cards are tarot-proportioned (62 × 106 mm) and tile six to a US Letter sheet, or two to an A5 sheet. Gear does what it plainly does; there are no damage numbers, because a blow is a blow (see the Quick Rules). The pip count in the corner is how many pack slots the item takes, which the Quick Rules do not use: it is there for tables that carry the deck into a campaign with the Encumbrance supplement.
